NO DECISION
RELATIVE TO MARSHALL COUN-
TY LOCAL OPTION LAW.
Judge Reed Simply Passes ON Man.
damus-Jail Prisoners to Work
on the Streets.

Judge William Reed says that II is
not necessary for him to pass on the
local option law in the Gilbertsville.
Marshall county, magisterial district,
and that all the law necessary for
him to decide in the mandamus suit
brought by John Counts to compel
the county clerk at Benton to accept
money for the state for liquor IL
cense, was to say that the clerk had
to accept the money.
Judge Reed had not talked much
of the case, but this morning stated
clearly what he intended to do in
the matter. He said:
mo, 1t is not necessary for me to
pass on the legality of the local OPP
ton law, and | will not do so.
passed on the only point asked for in
the mandamus suit and ordered the
county clerk to accept the money as
he had no right to act as a local OPP
ton Judge. told him to accept the
money and IL there was any violation
of the law in the matter of the IL
cense. then the proper courts could
step in and by indictment settle the
matter"
"Well, how about working Clar-
ence Brittle, the negro who was given
one year in the county Jail at hard
labor at a dollar a day. and an adj
ditional fine of 5000 for attempted
assault yesterday" Judge Reed was
asked.
"He will be worked on the streets
of Paducah. | presume" Judge Reed
replied. 1.-The circuit court can or
der a prisoner who has been fined
worked on the streets as well as the
police judge or any other judge, and
this is the way he will be worked,
suspect"
This is the first instance where a
prisoner had been given such a pecu-
liar sentence and there was consid-
cradle curiosity as to how the labor
part was TO be settled.

Pugilism Knocked Out.

Chicago, Dec. ia death blow
I, boxing in Chicago was administer
ed last evening by Mayor Harrison.
To each club that has been conduct
ing boxing contests of any kind and
to Chief of Police o'Neill, for en-
fcrcement. the mayor sent copies OF
an opinion by Corporation Counsel
1'olman which will compel even the
Chicago Athletic Association to dis
continue its exhibitions. The opinion
holds that prize fighting anywhere
within the state is a felony and that
witnesses are guilty of a misdemean-
or and that where the elation of bat
tie and exaltation Of victory are the
only inducements foE boxers to per-
form before the public, such exhibit
tons are Illegal. where the public is
invited to attend. either by paying
a fee or entering free of price.

authority from the Baptist Orphans

Last summer the owners OF this
health resort not obtaining any in
come from IL, decided to sell. Bids
were advertised for and they came in
from many different places, some as
far as Arkansas. The prices were
considered too low by DR.. Caldwell,
who is an experienced real estate
man, so he rejected them all.
The owners want the property sold
and have now ordered him to close
out at the best bid.

POLES VANISHING
FROM BROADWAY
East Tennessee Removes Forty
Company Improvements.
Bitulithic Work Iss Getting Along
Nicely-Storm Water Sewers
Begin Monday.
NO sTREETCAR TRANSFER SHED

The East Tennessee Telephone Co
has been longer getting into its new
addition in the rear of its building
on South Fourth street than II an
ticipated, and it will be fully two
months before the changes planned
have been carried out. The company
has just added another section of
switch board with 100 new numbers,
on account of the increase in its bus
mess, and has added two operators.
II is also. under the direction of
Manager A. l.. Joynes, stringing a
new cable through Maiden alley, to
set the poles and wires of lower
Broadway, on Fourth street, and on
other streets, as well as out the May
field road. The total amount OF new
cable strung is about 10000 feet, or
nearly four miles.
The company now employs 81
young lady operators and bookkeep-
ers, and AZ linemen, and is constant
y increasing its local force. 1t has
just put on a new long distance OPP
orator, Miss Alice Vining, of Pine
Bluff, Ark. and an assistant book
keeper. Miss Ada Shelton, who began
work yesterday.
One OF the best moves of the COM
pany recently was taking poles and
wires OF Broadway. In about three
weeks 1t will have every pole off
Broadway from First to Ninth
streets. although It has been requir-
ed to take only those of between
Fifth and Ninth. Some idea of the
number Of poles along the street may
be obtained from the fact that the
East Tennessee alone had forty poles
and some other companies have even
more.
The delay in getting its local ex-
change Office rearranged is due to
the time necessary to. make the
ehahbcS. ne NWO OnCtS, OOlu local
and long distance. will be moved up
stairs, and only the business depart
ment remain on the lower floor. The
operating room, when ready for oc-
cupancy, will be 2Ox6O feet.
In the spring the company intends
to make a number of other improve
ments, but they have not been decid-
ed on at present.
The service given by the East Ten
nessee with its quick and efficient
operators is as perfect as telephone
service can be made.
The company has over 1000 tele-
phones in use. but the service is as
good and prompt as IL there were
only few. Manager A. L. Joynes
is constantly improving the plant
and adding to the business, and has
seen the present service grow under
his management from less than 200
telephones to over 1000.
