BATTERED HULK
is MOORED HERE
Capt. Collins Prediction We're
fled Yesterday.
Several Thousand Dollars Will Be
Necessary to Repair the
Chattanooga.
WILL GO ON THE WAYS

The wreck of the steamer Chstta.
nooga was brought in early last even
irg by the tow boats that had been
pumping on her, and Is now moored
at the foot of Washington street, ready
to 20 on tine ways.
The big steamer seems in bad way
and it looks as IL IL were impossible to
raise boat in such a fix, but she
was. She Is covered with the rough
timbers used to bulkhesd her, and
with canvass that almost completely
envelopes her.
The steamer, as told yesterday, was
foated before noon, and was towed
here for repairs. She will be hauled
out on the ways, and IL is claimed
made as good as new. II is not
known how much it cost to raise her +,
but it is claimed about $4,000. IL
will cost FIVE OF Elk Thousand, at least
to put her in good condition.
The Chattanooga, II will be rewem
bered, was sunk at Big Chain several
weeks ago by running on 20 the rocks.
and most OF the river men who saw
her predicted she would be total
loss. She was running in the Padu-
cali and Chattanooga trade. aud most
Of her o., 500 cargo was saved.
Captain Sam Coffiin, OF the Cinoin-
natl underwriters, who held the si2,-
900 insurance on her, said from the
first that the boat could be raised.
when Captain Coffin says u boat
can be raised. a" declared . prominent
river man today. You can count on
ID that sine can. He is the best ever.
lie can tell every time, and while !
was told by many experienced men
who saw the wreck that IL would be-
impossible 10 raise ner. when l he,ri
thst Captain Cofilin said that she
could, l concluded she would be
raised-and there she il. a"
The insurance company will save
several thousand dollars by raising the
boat. The cargo has 30 pay half the
expense Of raising her, and the owners
one third OF the cost Of putting her
back in good shape. Had she not been
raised It would have cost the under
writers si2, 200. IL will probably be
several weeks before the boat is ready
again 10 run.

1t seems useless TO attempt to q,
the responsibility for great disasters
When one occurs the outraged public
begins to look about for some one tc
vent its wrath on. In the Slocum
disaster it is claimed the life pre-
servers were worthless and the boat
unsafe. The steamboat men retort
"If they were it is up 20 the inspeo-
tors. They inspected the boat and
said 1t was all right" This is the
same thing that happened in Chicago
after the Iroquois disaster. 1t was
claimed the theater was unsafe, in
adequately equipped, and not in &C
cordance with the building ordinance
The reply was; "The building was
inspected by paid officials and allowed
to open. II those whose duty it is
to see that the public is protected m
such matters would faithfully per-
form that duty, great many lives
would be saved.

A new game has been recently do
vised which is In reality electric bat.

players each hold a wand which has
been electrified by friction. The shut.
uecock is represented by a butterfly

NIPPED IN THE BUD.

The council last night by rejecting
The proposed compromise with the
Western Union Telegraph company,
saved the city from much possible EN-.
barnssment and loss of revenue. in
the FIRST place, II was very unwise
Ter the city to accept the proposition
Of Attorney J. q. Flournoy to collect
bsok pole license due the city from
telegraph companies, for 80 per cent
OF what he collected. II the city Is
entitled to any license at sn ON tele-
phone or telegraph poles, it should
collect .every dollar of il. and if the
city "a not, it should not COLLECT a
cent. II the money is due the city,
there ought to be some way to get it
without paying a lawyer half.
But however that may be, last Octo.
bef Attorney J. O. Flournoy filed
with the city Q proposition for his
Arm TO collect the license Of 81 on
each telegraph pole inside the corpora
tionI1 limits. He had been out SPEAK.
-,-Y6 for the Democratic ticket, and
hod no trouble In getting the prop
osition accepted. 1t was ratified by
both boards in November of last year,
and was for collecting only the H.
aense then due on poles, which did
not mean the license that might
oheseafter fall due, such rs the license
IN 1904 which he has since attempt.
81 TO also settle for, or the franchise
tax or license to do business, which
- also attempted TO settle for three
years in advance.
Little more was heard about the
oournot until the other day when
he reported compromise with the
western Union Telegraph company
Ihs board of aldermen took in the
boit with lite eyes shut, but the coun-
ell Happened to be more alert, and
Last night sat down hard on she COM
s.romiss. It is difficult TO determine,
nom reading the compromise, which
ths attorney represents in the matter,
the city or the telegraph company.
Here are two clauses of the compro-
mise be united the city to make with
the Wes Union.

SLIDING SCALE OF LICENSES

SLIDING SOALE OF LlCENSES.
Louisville 10 to have city ordi-
nance establishing a sliding scale Of
licenses for professional men. Those
whose incomes are s3.0 or under
will have to pay a license of about slO
q year, and those whose incomes are
above will have to pay at the rate of
about $40 for every 81 900 over ss, 600.
The ordinance promises to cause leg
al fight, but the opinion Of most Of
the prominent lawyers interviewed
seems to indicate that the law will be
constitutional and be sustained by
the courts.
The old howl of "class legislation
will probably be raised, but attor-
neys claim it will not be class legisla-
ton. They sllege that il man earns
$4,000 in community be should
pay towards the support of the gov
eminent larger license than man
in similar business who earns only
81, 900 or $4,000; just as man who
owns $4,000 worth of property is
required to pay more taxes than the
one with 900 or o., 600 worth of
property. Paducah now has similar
sliding scale of licenses for merchants,
those with a small business paying q
small amount year. and those with a
big business big license, the license
being based on the number of clerks
their business justi6es. Those whose
business requires only . few clerks,
thus do not have to pay rs much Is
those who have business requiring
perhaps . dozen or more, and in this

When County Clerk Clinton receives

coming elections will exceed 1900. The
books were closed at 5 o'clock last
night, but blanks may have been mailed
from some of the country precincts
that will not reach the office until today
or tomorrow. 1t is thought probable
that few blanks will thus be received,

shows a pretty full vote has been reg
istered outside the city, the total ex-
ceeding that of 1900 and 1902.
