IdCOs
Mr.. @. X. Davis. the former coun-
Gilman who ran against Mayor Yeiser
in the last Democratic primary, is also
favorably mentioned in the coming
race, but stated today that he had not
vet made up his mind.
Colonel II. q. Caldwell, chairman
Of the Democratic city committee, this
morning said in regard to his becom-
ing a candidate for mayor but he had
nothing definite to say at present.
II have been studying over the mat
ter" he explained, "and have come
10 no definite conclusion. l rnther
think that will not become a csndi-
date. do not know what the other
mcu who have been called will do but
viii be able by tomorrow to state pos
itively my stand"
Former Mayor lang has already de-
clined TO run for the nomination, and
It begins to look as # the race will be
between Colonel Potter and Mayor
Yeiser, unless Councilman Harmon
consents to run. Although the primry
is SOW eral months away, the mayoral-
ty race is creating a great deal Of in
terest in Paducan.

NEW WAGE SCALES
Unions Will Probably Decide To-
morrow Night.
Painters Sign Up with Contractors
The Brick Famine Not
Relieved.
Ews IN BUILDING WORLD

The first of next month the scales
will be presented by various unions of
Paducah to the contractors to be sign
ed, and the demands that will be made
Of the contractors by the union men
will doubtless be known after the
meeting Of Central Labor union to-
morrow night. All these scales go
into effect May 1.
1t Is not believed, from statements
made by various union men, that there
will be the least trouble. The scales
will probably be the same as in force
at present. and will be promptly signed
up by contractors.
The union painters have settled
their differences with the contractors
at last, the scale being signed up last
night. For the past year there had
been no agreement. The painters last
year demanded s2.5 a day for eight
hours work, which was refused, the
contractors Offering $3.50 for nine
hours. The painters have now accept
cd the nine hours-s2. so proposition.
The brick famine in Paducah is still
unrelieved, and the brick manufactur-
ers are unable to supply the demand.
A member of one of the largest brick
firms in this section stated this morn
ing that they had just started mp but
would have no brick for the market
before April 20. They are making
plenty of brick but will have to first
burn them before they are ready for
use. Memphis, LOUSY lille. Henderson
and Evansville are all demanding
brick and the famine there is as bad as
here. A we'll known local brick man
stated this morning that he had recent
ly been in those four cities and that
the building going on is something
wonderful. Houses are being built
everywhere and in nearly all cases are
being constructed out of brick. Padu-
cab has experienced 9 building boom
for several years but not has the ex-
tent been shown so clearly as now
when the contract work is being de-
layed by the lack of this material.
The Medical Society has rot absn-
doned Its idea Of securing new hos
pital for Paducah, but can do nothing
until the ordinance calling special
election is disposed Of in the boards.
The city solicitor has rendered an
opinion that such bonds cannot be
voted at a special election, and it is
not xnown what effect this will have
IN the ultimate disposition of the or
dinanoe. In case the council and alder
men refuse to adopt an ordinance call
ing a special election, however, the
doctors and other progressive men VINO
are working for a new hospital will
probably wait end have the bonds
voted on in November.
The pile driver is working nicely at
the Caldwell street bridge and the pill
ing is being set as rapidly as possible.
II can not be determined yet how long
it will require to complete the bridge,
but the work will be pushed as rapid
ly as possible. The street cars arc
making transfers from one car to the
other but the Illinois Central at this
place is still,running dummy trains.
The express companies are using the
dummy trains exclusively.

HE SAYS 1T is

Southern Churcllman Condemns
the Sunday School Leaflet
system.

The orthodoxy Of a recently Issued
sunday.school leaflet, for use in the
Episcopal sunday-schools, has been
called into question by a layman, writ
4 Ing to the Southern Churchman. of this
city. and the UNCONVENTIONAL organ de-
ciares the point to be well taken.
The leaflat was for the twenty-first
Sunday after Trinity, and 1t teaches the
proprety Of prayers to the saints and
for the dead which Is In direct con-
flict with the doctrine of the Church
The Richmond paper declares that mega
lively, but most decidedly and clearly.
the Church has pronounced against both
prayers to saints and prayers for the
dead. AS to the leaflet, referred to and
quoted. it is merely the irresponsible
vagary of an individual and the Church
has nothing whatever to Go with It, AS
to the Scripture references, It Is very
evident that they have no bearing what
ever on the questions under discussion.
Then the Churchmnn adds:
And in this connection, we would like
to call The attention of all our readers
to this Lesson Leaflet' system of teach
ing in our >Sunday-schools. The whole
system is without authority of any sort
or kind. the reflex of the opinions Oh
q few men. and not responsible TO any
higher power in the Church anywhere.
The Leaflets may or may not be saie
and trustworthy: 1t depends entirely
upon the soundness and ability and right
Judgment Of the author or editor. But
we repeat the Church is in no wise re-
sponsible for anything they teach.
."rhe Churchs textbooks are the Bible
and the prayer book. and for this teach
ing alone does she stand responsible"

BIG ROBBERY AT
The GLOBE STORE.
Entrance Effected Through Rear
Window Insufficient
Police Protection.

Headquarters detectives and the police
OF the Second District have been wor-
rled consldera bly, recently over the work
Ing Of what seems to be an organized
gang Of thieves.
Several small robberies have been re-
ported, and the utmost vigilance has
been exercised to capture them.
Owing to the fact that the detail OF
men on each relief Is small, the work Is
OF necessity difficult. With II big district
to cover and Will, such a small NUM-;
Der of men at command, 1t seems easy
enough to watch the police and to go
about their work In Il systematic way.
The boidest OF the robberies reported
recently was that Of the safe and desk
Mt the Globe clothing store. at Seventh
and Broad Streets. early yesterday morn
Ing. What was done by the thieves
could have been easily done in ten min
utes.
Two policemen cover the territory In
that Immediate vicinity. At the time
nf the robbery two OF the best men on
tl.s force were on their beats In thu.

on Main. between sixth and Thirteenth.
with the space intersectinH with Off
Ger Bryant's beat south Of Broad.
With all this territory to cover. the
two officers could have hecn easily
watched by the thieves.
AT any rate, entrance was effected by
way OF rear window. facing the alley
In the rear Of tn, big clothing store.
This window Is about eight feet from
the ground. and must have been entered
bv a .'hoo.t'' up or by II indder. M
convenient ladder has been found, and y
Is believed that the man who entered
the window was helped up by a confed.

After gaiping entrance Into the store
the thief opened the safe, which had mol
been securely locked. and abstracted
about $3.50 In bills. A lot OF checks We're
scattered about on the floor. Then thu
drawer Of the cashiers desk was forced
omen and about $40 in new pennies was

The theory OF the police Is that the

and with the combination.
Up to la.e hour last night no arrest
had been made.
