The Mayor Says Prisoners Will
Still be Worked.
Advised BY the City Solicitor to
Keep IL Up-Many Think the
City Il In For IL.
ARGUMENT PRO AND CON

Mayor ID. A. Yeiser, acting on the
advice of Solicitor Ed Puryear, stated
this morning that the chain gang
would continue working on the
streets, and that he did not believe
the courts would decide against the
city when the suits brought against
the city by Attorney J. NJ. Worten
come to trial.
Mayor Yeiser stated that in his
opinion the decision Of the Georgia
federal court rendered Tuesday re-
gsrding working prisoners on the
streets, applies where trial by jury
has been denied.
Amy defendant can demand trial
by jury and get it in police court" he
said, land all who have made such
demands in the Paducah police court
have been tried by jury, consequently
| think we are on the safe side"
City Solicitor Ed Puryesr also was
seen and agreed with the mayor. At
tornoy Puryoar stated that the city
prisoners had been regularly tried.
and if they did not receive trials by
jury il was because they did not lie
mand il, and il was nobody's fault
bot their own.
Mayor Yeiser and the solicitor say
they experience no uneasiness because
of the numerous suits brought by At
torney j. 81. worten TO secure dam
ages from the city for prisoners
worked on the stree t.
"While you are writing about the
city hall and city prisoners, Mayor
Yeiser smIlingly remarked, you may
tell the people that do not think the
city is expected TO board the prisoners
at the Palmer, to be waited on by the
prettiest girls in the city and fed the
best dainties proourable. This charge

into court, the bottom will fau out Of
the barrel with suddenness sufficient
to make some fellows eyes bulge
out. "
There are a number OF disinser ested
attorneys and others, however, who
do not look at the case as do the city
officials One said today;
at is not, in my opinion, aquestion
of jury or no jury. Punishment
should always fit the crime. The
principle of law is that the trivial
offenses for which the prisoners are
fined do not Justify the severe punish
ment inflicted when they are put to
work on the street. whether there
was jury or not does not affect the
justice or the injustice Of the punish
ment. Paducah is one of the very
few cities in the country that ever

used for the furnishings, sewerage

things. The board would like to ex-
tend the market house past Kentucky

hasn't the money and sees no prospect
of getting it. Hence it will proceed
to build market house on the city's

Last night the board notified the
mayor that unless he or his police
board enforced the ordinance prohibit
ing persons from brushing trash and
other refuse onto the streets and side
walks OF the city, the board will ap
point an inspector for the purpose and
put him on the street pay roll, The
members are very outspoken in their
displeasure over the way the new or
dinanoe, which was passed on their
recommendation, has been ignored.
The mayor stated last night that the
order to enforce had been posted, but
this does not satisfy the board. This
morning ten clerks and porters were
out on one block at one time sweeping
dense clouds of dust across the pave
ments into the street and it is an
every day occurrence. The board has
authority to appoint man to keep a
lookout for such Offenders and war
rant them, and threatens to do il.
THAT trash you see swept onto the
street is very unhealthy, to begin
WITH" declared one member of the
board today, and in dition, the
paper and other refuse swept and
thrown into the streets and cutters
every day clogs the cutters and stops
up the stormwster sewerage, and we
want it stopped. The ordinance has
been passed to stop it, and we want
il enforced. We hate to have to pay
man just to attend to it when we
have so many police officers, but we
intend to do ii If the ordinance is
not enforced"

The Chicago Chronicle in reporting

The quotation we hear every

interesting falsehood.' and further on
No man was ever created free and
many of them find they are not equal
