The City to Take up the Fran
chise Question.
Former Official Says Neither the Gas
Company Nor Old Telephone Com
psny Can Be Touched.
WAS INVESTIGATED BEFORE

Another mares nest has been dis
covered. The city has found out that
the Paduoah Gas company has no fran
chise. This has been generally known
since 1Sg3-that Is, known by every
body except the present adminis,ra-
ton, which does not appear to know
anything much.
AS q matter of fact both the gas
company and the old telephone COM
pany secured legislative grants years
ago which are perpetual They EN-.
barked in business in Paducah when
franchises were unknown, and at that
time the city was glad to get them
here. When franchises came into ex-
istence it 10 claimed the rights and
privileges held by these companies
were not abrogated or affected in any
way. They secured no franchises be-
cause they had all they needed, and
would have been foolish to get some
thing on which they would have to
pay additional taxes. Since then they
have been doing business in Paducah
without franchise" at makes
me laugh to see the antics of these
local statesmen" remarked a former
city official today. 81 see where they
have scared up sensation by claim
ing the gas and old telephone company
have no franchise. The may or has been
in office two years this last time, and
four years before, since the franchise
law was passed. and all this time the
telephone company and gas company
have been doing business here with
out q franchise. and yet the mayor
has just found IL ont. II l had held
Office all that time and hadn't found
it out until now I'd be ashamed to
acknowledge it.
"ls to the franchise business. how
ever, you may just say that former
city official who didn't sleep on duty,
but Investigated il thoroughly several
years ago. found out that these COM
panies that are now the subject OF so
much official inquiry have all the legal

Neither of the companies involved
seems to regard the agitation against
i and the threat to GUST IL from Pa
iucah, with anything except amuse-
nent. The questions were investigat-

Board of Public Works Holds
Regular Meeting.
will Consider Sprinkling, Uniformity
Of Sidewalks, and South Third
Street Job.
OPPOSITION TO NEW MATERIAL

The board of publi, works meets
this evening in regular session, with
number of matters to come mp. The
question Of sprinkling the streets, of
the paving ON South Third street, of
uniformity OF sidewalks and lot OF
other things are to come up.
The work on South Third will prob
ably be received, but not until the
entire job is complete. The law pro-
vides that the street may be used as
soon as the city engineer orders It,
and 1t will be thrown open at once.
Members of the board OF public
works and other city officials state
that when the bad brick are removed
the street will be all right.
Tonight the sprinkling question
will be discussed, and an effort will BE-
made to arrange to have all the streets
possible sprinkled, especially those re-
Gently rolled.
The matter of having all the pave
ments of granitoid along the paved
streets will also &C y up. President
Noble, of the board. addressed the
aldermen Monday night and urged
en- amendment TO the ordinance, pro-
viding for uniformity in the side
walk improvement. IL cannot be pre-
dicted what the board will do in the
matter. but il seems intent on having
the sidewalks uniform.
Some opposition is now developing
to the bitulithic sidewalks made by "a
Nashville concern. A few local street
builders claim that the street would
never do in Paducah, as no adequate
foundation can be secured here. 1.-THE
concrete foundation proposed here in
stead OF the rolled crushed stone used
In Nashville, would never answer in
Paducah, declared one practical
street man today. 1.-The reason we
can't use the rolled stone is that the
soil is not firm. The concrete laid
under the brick here would never hold
II the street were not convex, and the
brick so laid as TO form small arch.
to some extent supporting themselves.
With this new material. laid fiat on
the concrete would soon be ground to
pieces"
When il was suggested that the
builders guarantee the streets built
with their material for five years. he
replied:
Guarantees on streets never
amount to anything. I never heard OF
. guarantee on q street that a city
could get anything on. II a company
can come here and get $500, 900 or
$500, 900 it will not care whether the
city has Il guarantee or not.
"As to guarantees. look at Broad
way. IL was guaranteed for FIVE years,
and although the contractors got every
cent of money due them, and probably
more than the job was worth, the city
has never been able to compel them to
do lick OF work on the streets to keep
them in repair, or collect any of the
costs of repairs.

Tuscaloosa, Feb. 12.-(Special, )-The Democratic Executive Committee of the Sixth congressional district met here yes terday afternoon in the office of Chair man Frank s. Moody and fixed the date of the primary for April Il. There were representatives from every county in the district save one.
 Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson was present and requested that his name be printed on the congressional ticket to be voted on at the coming primary. Captain Hobson stated that he was out of the State on government duty at the time of registration in Hale county and was thus unable to register. but stated that before the regular congressional election, he would have an opportunity to register, and would thus be a properly qualified cleo tor.
 After discussing the matter for some while, the committee passed a resolution requesting the State committee to so amend its rulings, that Captain Hobson's s name might be placed on the ticket. The majority of the committeeman present were Bankhead men, but the resolution was passed to give Captain Hobson fair showing.
 A resolution was also passed by the committee requesting the State committee to GO amend its rulings as to the selection of district committeeman in regard to the Sixth district. that 1t can name its own committee as heretofore, one member of the committee to be voted on at the pri- mary from each county.

There were n deaths in Montgomery during January and 65 births.

 Twenty-three white persons died and nfty-four negroes died. This comparison of white and negro deaths shows, as us- ual. the great increase of negro deaths over white deaths.
 The ages of the decedents were: Under one year. l; one to five. ': five to ten, 1; ten to twenty. l; twenty to thirty, g.; thirty to forty. 8; forty to fifty, Il; fifty to sixty, IA; sixty to seventy. 10; seventy to eighty, 5; eighty to ninety, 6; ninety to onehundred, l.
 Tuberculosis was the cause assigned for ten deaths. and was the disease credited with more deaths than any other one disease
 Nine deaths were due to pneumonia and eight deaths were assigned to old age Three deaths were assigned to accident

MAJOR SCREWS TO RUM
CANDIDATE FOR DELEGATE TO
 CONVENTION.
Will Ask to Go at Large From A'a- bama to National Gathering of
 Democrats in St.
 Lopis.

Major W. w. Screws of Montgomery will be a candidate to represent Alabama as a delegate at large in the National Democratic Convention to be held in St. Louis, July eth.
 The suggestion of the candidacy of Ma jor Screws was first made to the news department of The Advertiser by a prom inent Democrat of Middle Alabama, who visited Montgomery yesterday.
 'I have reason to believe" he said, that the name of Major Screws will be presented as a candidate at large to the National Convention. If so he will be warmly supported by the people of my section"
 Interviewed by a reporter of The Ad- vertiser, Major Screws confirmed the re- port. ...--..
 T have been rendered support by many friends" said Major Screws, "and I will ask the Democrats of Alabama to send me to St. Louis. I hope. whether I am a delegate or not. the Alabama delegation will be uninstructed. In my judgment conditions may change between the time of selecting delegates and the organiza- ton of the convention. I am sure the great masses of the party in Alabama care more for the success of Democracy than they do for the interest of any one man, and our delegation to St. Louis should not be hampered. Yes, I am a candidate for delegate at large"
 Major Screws served as a delegate from this congressional district to the Demo- cratic Convention held in St. Louis in 1876 which nominated Samuel J. Tilden. The other delegate from this district was the late pr. H. M. Caldwell who then lived in Butler county.
 Alabama is entitled to twenty-two dele gates in the convention-fo,ir from tho State at large and two from each of the nine congressional districts.
 Colonel E. l.. Russell of Mobile, and Rufus N. Rhodes of Birmingham are al- ready announced as candidates for dele gate at large,
