SCHOOL BOARD
WILL HOLD ANOTHER MEETING
THIS EVENING.
One Vacancy 70 FIJI and the Election
Of a President TO Take Place
at This Meeting.

The school board will meet tonight
for the purpose of filling one vacancy
caused by the refusal Of DR.. John
ston Bass to serve, and to elect a
chairman and permanently organize.
Tonight the chairman will be elect
ed after the vacancy Is filed and he
WI be asked to select his commit
tees. This will require a day or two
and II Is likely another meeting will
be called this week when the commit
tees will be formally appointed and
set to work.
The board will likely do nothing
more than the above tonight but as
soon as permanently organized has
a great deal to look after.
IL Is reported that DR. J. ID. Bacon,
the druggist, will be chosen in place
OF DR.. Bass, and Capt. I'D. Farley
and DR.. II. +. Williamson are tipped
for president OF the board.
The members elected last week
will probably be sworn in tonight as
the other members did not desire to
swear them in at the last meeting,
and they are not yet qualified mem
bers.
The schools are running nicely
and the teachers say the best results
in the history of the schools are be-
ing had.
This week the final review work
is being completed and next week
will come the examinations. All day
Saturday teachers worked making
out questions and have everything
about ready for the coming week.
The board will have to decide on
the commencement question, but
from the general inclination Of the
teachers, the board will be asked to
simply have an entertainment in the
auditorium for the Twelfth grade.
All this work goes to committees
and cannot be settled until the board
is organized and down to business.

A great deal OF complaint has come
from merchants and the public in
general about the condition of the
pavement on the south side OF Broad
way between Fifth and Sixth streets.
Large depressions extending the
width Of the pavement where exca-
vatlons for pipes have been made and
not carefully filled In, cause danger
to pedestrians at night and City En-
gineer Washington will compel the
contractor TO grade the pavement to
prevent accidents. Several persons
have stumbled into the trenches and
been bruised. but fortunately no seri-
Gus accidents have yet occurred.

ANOTHER KICK
Made Today Against Sweeping the
Streets without Sprinkling.

Complaint was today lodged with
the board of public works against the
continuous practice OF sweeping the
brick streets without sprinkling
them. The dust spreads all over the
pavements and gets through cracks
into every store along the streets.
A member Of the board of works
stated today that orders were given
several days ago to always sprinkle
the streets hereafter before sweep
ing. but the mayor countermanded
the order at the instance of Fire
Chief Woods, who said the water
would freeze and make the street
dangerous to the fire department
horses In case of fire. consequently
the streets we're not sprinkled.
Street Inspector Elliott said today
that the reason the street was not
sprinkled last night was on account
of the freezing temperature, but the
Broadway merchants say that this
does not account for having swept
the streets without sprinkling them
In warm weather for several months
past. Secretary Fowler. of the board
of works. said the street would prob
ably not be swept at all hereafter
during cold weather. or will be hand
swept. which will be more satisfac-
tory than covering everything with
dust.

ing OF the new committee appointed
by the mayor was called for Satur-
day night, but all were not present.
Suggestions OF reductions In several
OF the appropriations we're made and
carried. but this is not binding, as
both boards have TO vote on the mat
ter before It is incorporated into law.
Among the changes suggested were
a reduction from $4,000 to s27.-
600 In the FIRE department appropri-
alton. from $4,000 to $4,000 In
the street department; from $4,000
TO $4,000 In the police department,
and from $4,000 to $4,000 the court
costs and suits appropriation. II Is
said that after calling a conference
OF members OF the boards to decide on
these appropriations, the mayor is
not satisfied with all Of them, and
instead OF placing in the ordinance
the amounts decided on at the con-
ference may leave some OF them
blank. which he could have done in
the first place.

Suffered From Frequent At

Lin Sing Was Born In China and Had
Lived Here Many Years---Left

BURIAL POSSIBLY IN CHINA

Lin Sing. one Of the owners Of the
s. Hop Sing Chinese laundry on
Broadway near First, was found dead
yesterday morning about ii o'clock
by some of the other laundrymen In
the establishment, who went to
arouse him for dinner. The dead
man had been In bad health for some
time, but was apparently no worse
than usual Saturday night when the
others last saw him.
He had been subject to smother
ing SPELLS" and often became SO Ill
he had to lie down on bench until
breathing became easier. He was
found yesterday in badly drawn
up position, as II he had died In ago
ny.
Coroner Grow held an inquest to-
day, the verdict Of the jury being
that Lin Sing died OF heart disease
Sing IL probably the only Chinaman
who ever died in Paducah. He was
As years old and was born about 20
miles from Hong Kong. China.
During his residence Of several
years here Lin Sing amassed quite a
fortune for a Chinaman. having
something near $1,100 in cash, and
a one-fourth interest in the business
on Broadway.
Lin Sing had only one relative in
this country, a brother in Memphis,
who was yesterday wired of his
brothers death, and arrived in the
city today.
Coroner Crow was called at noon
yesterday, but did not hold an in
quest until today, when the following
verdict was rendered:
I'VE, the jury, impaneled by Cor
oner James Crow to look into the
cause of death of Lin Sing, whose
body lies before us. believe that the
cause OF death was due to heart fail
ure. (Signed.)

CHAS. Il. HAYMAN,
e. C. WOLFE.
The body of Lin Sing will in all
probability be taken to China for
burial. and the Chinese colony is to-
day busy making preparations, and
trying to learn the rates. The body
can be shipped for double the cost
of one fare to China, and 1t is pos
sible one Of the local Cinnamon will
accompany the remains, as 1t would
cost no more going than the body
alone. although coming back would
cost something.
This afternoon 1t was learned that
II will cost s223 to take the body to
China. and II will probably be taken
there In a few days.
