BANKERS MET HERE
THIS MORNING
viii Back the COhankus Com
pany---Citizens to Help.
Unless Stock 10 Raised Here the Big
Concern will Move-Queens-
ware Company Change.
AND OTHER BUSINESS NEWS

A meeting Of prominent bankers
was held this morning in Paducah
in regard to the Cohankus Company,
and it was arranged to take por ton
Of the Compsny's stock, the people of
paducah to take the remainder, and
thus prevent the concerns acceptance
of munificent offer to leave Padu-
cab.
The Cohankus Compapy's factory,
at Ninth and Boyd. is one Of the
largest concerns in the state. It closed
down temporarily about month ago
on account of the high price of raw
material, but will resume as soon as
the price recedes.
Another city offered the concern q
bonus of $40, 900 to move its plant
there. Local bankers and the Com
mercial Club heard of il, and today
held a meeting for the purpose of TAX
ing steps to keep the plant. The TO-
hankus Company was willing to re-
main in Paduoah if $780, 900 of its
stock is subscribed, preferring that to
moving away for $40, 900 bonus, and
il was decided to take the stock.
II is probable the people Of Paducah
will be asked to subscribe for some of
the stock, possibly between IS, 900 and
$40, coo, and the Commercial Club will
doubtless assist in raising il. ..s-...;N
The fact that Paducah lie to keep
this mammoth enterprise will be good
news to the people.
Among the outside bankers present
at the meeting today were: Messrs
Oscar Fenley and O. q. MoClarty, of
Louisville, r. K. Dunkerson, Evans
Vile, Ind, and S. N. Leonard, Of

DAVIS AND JONES CASE
IS AM|CAbLy SETTLED
Controversy Over These Two
Players Almost Caused Dis
ruption of Peace Agreement.
BELONG TO CHICAGO

CHICAGO Feb. 10-The controversy over
Players Jones and Davis, which nearly
caused a disruption of the peace agreement
between the National and American base
ball leagues last summer, has been AMIGA
bly, settled by the National League with
drawing all claims to either one of the
players. Davis and Jones were claimed by
both the New York National League club
and the Chicago American League club, and
at the recent meeting of the National
League in New York a special committee,
consisting of Messrs. Hermann, Dreyfuss
and Hart, was appointed to investigate the
claims of the New York club. AS preim-
mary to the meeting here tomorrow Of the
commission the special committee tonight
gave out the following report:
"First-We find that under what is known
as the Cincinnanti peace agreement and the
national agreement players George S. Da-
Wis and A. Jones belong to the Chicago
American League club until such time as
said players may be disposed of by that
club in the regular manner
'Second-We recommend that the presi-
dent of the National League request both
players to report to the Chicago American
League club, and that the New York club
be requested to pay no additional salaries
to either of the players under any so-cslled
contracts that either of them may have
with said club.
At to-morrow's meeting of the national
commission, which is composed of Messrs
Johnson, of the American League, and
Hermann and Pulliam, of the National
League, an effort will be made to settle the
question of Sunday baseball in the city of
| New York.
