As Il now stands, the charter sim

might have, II the charter were SO
changed as TO fix the school levy

The desire is simply to transfer
this 8 cents to the schools, If It is
necessary, and force the city to econ

IL is not known how strong an
effort was made to have the other
three second class cities agree to
such change in the charter, but the
change was not agreed to, at any
rate. The board of education of Pa

ance of members of the legislature,
and make an effort to secure the
amendment without an agreement
among the second class cities.

FOUR BEAR
KILLED by MIR. GEORGE ROB.
ERTSON, WHO HAS RE-
TURNED.
Had Fine Sport and Killed Great
Deal of Smaller Game On His
Expedition.

Mir. George RobertsOn returned
this morning from his annual bear
hunt In Arkansas ami reports one OF
the most enjoyable times he ever
had.
While there he klred four large
bears. There were about twelve in
the party, bat he was the only Padu-
cab man. They had 3S hounds and
lost but eight, but several of the dogs
were badly cut up IN the fights. Mr..
Robertson did not huno deer. for he
said there was no use to kin them as
the Jaw of chat state did not permit
the meat to be sold or given away.
1t is the same regarding other game
but the bear skins he was allowed to
bring home. He has four fine ones
and VIII make them into rugs or
overcoats. They make the. warmest
cvercoat known. He also brought
home some very large persimmons.
They are similar to the persimmons
grown here but are about the size o.
a iange pear. MIR. Robertson said
that tsTey are fed TO hogs and when
corn crops are short they are fed 10
aegroes. These perSimmons are cul-
tlvated. Col. Jack Goodwin, warm
friend CT Mr. Robertson. has an i'm
mense orchard of the fruit. some Of
which is shipped to the cities and
sold.
This was mot Mr. Roberison's ban
ner hunt. In 1856 he and John r.
Moore killed 32 bear. They camped
back of Old Town, and did their kill
ing on YeEow Bank Brow. They had
40 dogs killed.
This time Che party campei on Cy-
press Brow near CLANCY Lake, which
s five miles west, where there are
lots of deer. Cypress Brow is 2Is
mites south of Gos,ey Lake. where
they did all of their fishing. One
Sunday Mr.. Robertson with an artif-
cial minnow caught 80 black bass
weighing from 2is to 31a pounds
each, commencing at 8 a. m. and fin
is'hing late in the afternoon This
lake also contains striped bass and
cI'oppies.
After the party had been in camp
five DAYS They had Wild game ON the
table for every meal. Thanksgiving
There was a BIS, FEAST the bill of fare
consisting of fish, bear. deer, squ!r-
rel, wild turkey and side dishes.

"BUSTER" WAS LATE
And the Train Had tC BE Held TO-.
Him Ter Minutes.

Jimmy" Rosen, the midget COM

here YESTERDAY. slept late this morn
ing. When the train was ready to
pull out at $3.50 there was no Jimn y
in sight. the remainder OF the con-
pany was at the train waiting 10
leave for Fulton and when The tine
for shouting "all aboard" arrived
there was nothing else TO do excep
hold the train for Buster Brown
A hasty telephone message dis
closed the fact that he had lef; tre

directed down the street as the I'M

said significant things In an under
tone.
Presently Buster conveyance
hove in sight Buster was the cool
est one in the lot but his little legs
were too short for him to get along
fast enough so members of the conf
pany FASTENED to him, seized him on
each side, ran rapidly to the train
and deposited him on the platform.
The 2S-year-old comedian, who
weighs about 80 pounds. did not
seem to resent il a bit.
In fact. he had succeeded in hold
ing the train ten minutes. which ma
ny larger man has failed to do.

THE SCHOOLS NEGLECTED.

The public schools do not appear
to be given the recognition they de,
serve in Kentucky. II is not apparent
what valid objection there could be
TO making the maximum tax levy for
the schools in second class cities 80
cents, instead of S5, in order that
those cities in which the schools need
that much money may get it, but ii
seems the Representatives in second
class cities did not agree to it at
their recent conference.
1t is not reasonable to presume
that the members or educational
boards desire to be, or would be, ex-
travagant. Their official acts are open
to public inspection, and it is very
easy to determine where good man
agement stops and extravaganza be-
gins, hence any tendency towards
extravaganza, and the consequent de-
mand for more money than is need
ed, could be very easily detected and
prevented.
The law provides that boards of
education shall make their estimates
OF the amount of money needed to
run the schools, at certain time.
and submit ii, minus the amount 10
he received from the state, to the leg
Eel "a a n.
approximated expenses into their an
nual budget, and make a levy suffi-
cient TO raise it--not exceeding 80
cents on the 500. If the estimated
expenses OF the schools are so large
that 35 cents on the 500 on the
city's assessment Will not raise it, the
schools simply have to do without, as
the total tax rate cannot be over
S1.S5 in second class cities.
The estimates for the schools are
always subject to investigation and
discussion when presented to the leg
islative boards, and if the members
of the latter know anything about
the schools, they villa know whether
or not the demands are exorbitant. If
they don't know anything about the
schools, they should not question the
estimates OF those who do, and there
should be some way TO require them
TO provide the funds. Under the sec
ond class charter this cannot be done
If the amount needed is more than
35 cents on the 500 will raise.
What Paducah wants is an amend
ment that will enable the schools to
get so cents on the 500, If that
much is necessary TO maintain
good public school system. There is
no necessity for providing for a lar
ger tax rate than the present s1.S5
10 do II. A so cent levy would still
leave s1.35 for city purposes. II there
must be retrenchment let Il be in the
city government not i'm the mainte-
nance of the public schools. Thous-
ands OF dollars are wasted annually
by the city This money could be
given 20 the schools and no one
would be the worse for 1t, while the
whole community would get the ben

HILL CHARGED
WITH FORGERY
Ex-Chief of Philadelphia Fill
tration Bureau Under
SIo,oo5 Bail
100000 CONTRACT is REVOKED

Philadelphia, June 21.--The arrest of
John w Hill, who resigned last week
as chief. Of the bureau of filtration, on
the charge of forgery and falsifying
certain books and papers belonging to
the city, and the annulment of a $780,
600 contract held by d. J. McNichol &
Co. were the dramatic developments
in Philadelphia sensational political
upheaval. Hill entered bail in the sum
Of $4,000 for a hearing The arrest Of
Hill is the third that has occurred in
connection with city contracts since
the mayor began his fight for munici-
pal reform.
The arrest of former Chief Hill was
not surprise, as It had been rumored
for several days that he would be taken
into custody on charges to be preferred
by the mayor. The warrant charges him
with having committed forgery, in that
he made or caused to be made a state
ment giving a false estimate of the
work done by the firm of d. ]. Nc
Nichol & Co. on the filtration plants,
and also with falsifying certain books
and papers of the city for the purpose
of defrauding the city.
Former Chief Hill received a salary
of $4,000, the highest compensation re-
ceived by any city employe. Up to a
few weeks ago Mayor Weaver had the
highest regard for the ability of Chief
Hill as an engineer So we'll did he
think of him that last April he urged
city councils 10 raise his salary from
$4,000 to $1,000 With the political
upheaval Mayor Weaver began an in
vestigation of all bureaus, with the
result that Chief Hill resigned last
week
The resembling Of the S7OO,0 600 con-
tract held by d. ]. McNichol & Co.
caused CONSERVATION in political cir
cles. In revoking the contract the
mayor notified the director OF public
works to Immediately take steps TO ad-
vertise for new bids for the work and
material remaining to be done and
supplied. The contract held by Nc
Nichol & Co. was for furnishing filter
sand and gravel and terra Gotta lateral
connections for the Torresdale filters.
The original value of the contract was
100000, but on March II this was
increased to 100000. by a supplement
tary contract. Up to date s21S,477 has
been paid for work done under the con-
tract The McNichol firm sub-let all
OF the work to James Caven & Son.
Last week Councilman Frank H.
Caven, Of the latter firm. was arrested
for violating his councilmanic oath in
being interested in city contracts. He
was held for court after a sensational
hearing.
Mayor Weaver said that he issued
the order resembling the contract be-
cause he felt that the city's interests
would not be safeguarded unless he
did It.
The Broad Street Boulevard, which is
being constructed by a firm composed
of State Senator George A. Ware and
Recorder Of Deeds William S. Ware,
and which will cost about $5,000,0O0, is
now under investigation.

Section Of New Jersey Label and Trade
Mark Law Unconstitutional
Trenton, ~ j.. June 21.-The court
Of errors and appeals IN the case Of the
Cigarmakers International Union Of
America against William H. Goldberg
has set aside as Unconstitutional the
10th section Of the law of 1898 re-
specting labels and trade marks. The
law provided a penalty of from 5000
to $500 to be recovered by the party in
iured from the infringement of any
label or trade mark The court holds
that this leaves to the party injured
the determination of the injury within
the 5000 or $500 limitation. This the
court holds would be to that extent the
taking of private property without due
process Of law, and for that reason the
act is declared unconstitutional. This
is a victory for Goldberg and a defeat
for the Cigarmakers' Union, who
brought the suit for the alleged misuse
Of union labels.
