enough examination to state the exit

rated DR.. Grifith's description of
the character of the wounds. He
thought the wound in the side must
have buried itself in the spinal col
umn. DR.. Sights was of the opinion,
however. that both the wounds in
the front of the head were made by
the same bullet He said man
would have to be behind the wound
ed mans head for the bullet to have
entered the forehead and come out
there II might have been inflicted on
a man lying down. The bullet that
entered the back of the head came
out near the ear he thought The
reason he thought the bullet in the
side must have lodged in the spi-
nal column was that IL otherwise

reached II. A. Rose about 10 o'clock
DR.. Purcell was already there
Shots attracted him and he went
over. II was decided that Rose was

of the head and passed out in front.
The other shot struck about one
inch below where the other came out

The other shot hit on the left side

not locate its direction. Anyone of

GOOD WORK
BEING DONE IN ALL DEPART
MENTs IN PREPARING CAMP.
The Telephone Service Is Now in
Working Order and Electric
Lights Put in.

The telephone service is now
working at the encampment grounds
and is a great convenience to the Of
flcers, for many things they formerly
wanted frequently necessitated a
trip to the city.
The shower bath for the officers is
completed and is now in use. The
500 feet of pipe laid is on top of
the ground. The sun heats this pipe
and the water is as warm as If IL had
been on a stove. OF course at night
ii will be cool. The officers really like
the arrangement for they have both
hot and cold water. The plumbers
are putting in the shower baths for
the regimental soldiers.
Electric lights are in use at night
at headquarters The grounds will
be well lighted. The regimental
camp will be lighted with cluster
lights. These lights are placed in
free by the Paducah City Railway
company, for which the officers are
very grateful.
Adjutant General Noel Gaines
one of the most accommodating gem
tlemen imaginable, says that the
grounds were ideal for the encamp-
ment, in fact it was one of the best
locations in the state. He is very
proud of his camp and loud in prais-
ing the water company, light compa-
ny and business men for their as
sistance. He anticipates the most
successful encampment in every re-
spect the state has ever held.
Eight non-commissioned officers
from the regular army are to be
sent here from Jefferson barracks to
assist Lieutenant Beckham in the
instruction of the soldiers, Major
General Gaines says this will be of
more benefit to the soldiers than
anything else they get out of the
encampment.
Lieutenant Ira Parish. of Maids
onville, has reported. He has been
detailed target range quartermaster
and has charge of the targets, am
munition, etc, sent from Washing
ton.
Capt. V. j. Dodge, of Lexington,
has reached Paducah and is at work
on the target range. Capt Dodge is
inspector OF small arms practice and
has charge of the rife range. The
targets are being put up today. He
will instruct the soldiers in the prac-
tice.
Judge Advocate General Guy e.
Briggs, of Frankfort. has arrived and
visited the grounds this morning.
Judge Briggs presides over all court
martials and interprets the state
guard law for the officers.
No name has been applied to the
camp yet. Adjutant General Gaines
said this was a courtesy extended to
the governor, who will select the
name when he arrives. 1t has been
suggested that it be called Camp
Yeiser." after Mayor ID. A. Yeiser.
During the stay of the soldiers
they will spend about $4,000 or
100000. General Gaines says the
soldiers spend every cent they get
and 1t will all be distributed in Pa
ducah. He says they will buy any and
everything and all he asks is that no
intoxicating drinks be sold on the
grounds. Under the state guard law.
Section a.. approved March 13,
1908, by the Legislature, he can pre-
vent the sale of intoxicants In or
near the grounds.

Record of the Fever.

New OrleanS La, Aug. Al
though Thursdays record of the yell
low fever situation showed an in
crease in the number of new cases
fifty-four against thirty-two the day
before, and a considerable spread OF
the centers of infection. eleven new
foci being reported today and -four
yesterday, the number of deaths de-
creased from eleven on Wednesday to
five yesterday the situation was still
regarded by the health officers as be-
ing hopeful.
Though the announcement that
Governor Blanchard had actually or
dered the naval brigade under arms
and dispatched it in the Mosquito
fleet to the Louisiana-Mississippi
boundary attracted attention, there
is absolutely no apprehension that
any serious collision will occur.
1t is probable that the move
ment to bring Italian immigrants
here on a large scale will suffer, as
one of the results of the fever, partly
by reason of the terror which the
present infection has spread among
the Italians and partly by reason of
the entirely unwaranted prejudice
which seems to have arisen against
extensive Italian colonization.

coming out of the forehead. He said
that the first shot fired must have
hit Rose in the side. That II the first
wound had been a head wound, Rose
could never have uttered a sound.
lie said one OF the head wounds was
probably fired while Rose was down,
or falling He judged that the first
shot hit him in the side, and that
Rose was falling or possibly on the
floor when the other two strik-
ing him in the head were fired
He said he had heard the question of
how the shots were fired. some say
ing the last two were in quick sue
cession and others that II was the
first two. lie said he heard the
shots but was not prepared to saw
which two were in quick succession.
The wound in the rear of the head,
the bullet coming out near the ear
was scalp wound. the bullet not
penetrating the skull. DR.. Purcell
said the central wound in the head
may have been inflicted as Rose was
falling.

Dr. II. p. Sights was sworn and
corroborated DR.. Purcell He also
gave II as his opinion that from the
testimony as to the position of the

did not think If the first shot haa
struck in the head there would have
been any groan or cutlery.

POLITICAL
FIGHT TAKES NEW TURN

Washington, D. c., Feb. 27. - Presi-
dent Roosevelt has determined to with
draw the nomination of Senator Joseph
v. Quarles to be United States judge
of the district court of Wisconsin. This
will be pleasing news to the La Fol
lette wing of the party in that state,
whose members were highly indignant
at the President making the appoint
ment before their leader could have
a hand in the matter.
The President. however, is not TAX
ing back the appointment for the pur-
pose of modifying the La Toilette fol-
lowers; in fact he intends to rename
Mr.. Quarles for the same Office after
March 4. This course was necessary
through the discovery that before that
date Mr.. Quarles is ineligible by rea-
son of constitutional prohibition

or representative during the time for
which he was elected to any federal

MMENDATI TIONS ARE FOR
SEA LEVEL PANAMA CANAL

Washington, Feb. 27.-The first def.
mite engineering plans for the con.
fstruction of the Panama canal have
just been laid before the isthmian ca.
nal commission by the engineering
committee of that body, consisting of
Commissioners Burr, Parsons and
Davis.
The principal recommendations are
summed up in this resolution:
Resolved, that this committee ap.
prove and recommend for adoption by
the commission plan for a sea level
canal, with a bottom width of $50 feet
and minimum depth of water at thir-
ty-five feet and with twin tidal locks
at Miraflores, whose usable dimen-
sions shall be 1000 feet long and 100
feet wide, at total estimated cost of
$3.50, 100000 Such estimate includes.
an allowance for administration, engi-
neering, sanitation and contingencies
amounting to S38,450.000, but without
allowance for interest during construc-
ton, expense of zone government and
collateral costs and water supply, sew.
ers or paving Of Panama or Colon,
which last items are to be repaid by
the inhabitants of those cities"
The committee estimates that sea
level canal can be completed within
ten or twelve years from the present
time.
These recommendations are the con-
clusion of a report to the commission

ioTTUMWA's MAYOR WILL ASK
DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR
THIRD TIME.
SEEKS YIN DICATION
Says He VIII Not Quit Under Fire
Meeting Of Tried and True Ad-
visers Held-PhllIips and Barnes
Are Also Mentioned for Nomination.

From Mondays Daily.
Mayor T. H. Pickler has announced
his candidacy for the democratic nomi-
nation for mayor at the coming city
election. The announcement was
made for the first time this morning
to a number Of his friends.
Wants Vindication.
Yes. have decided to he candi-
date" said the mayor, when asked
whether or not he intended to allow
the use of his name In the coming DEM
ocratic convention II said several
months ago that would not be can
didate. was perfectly honest in my
announcement and thought under no
conditions could be induced to run
again. Since that time matters have
changed, my administration has been
attacked, unjustly as I believe, and /
have determined to go before the peo-
pie for yindication. My decision has
been influenced also largely by the
pressure of many friends who have
urged me to become candidate"
Tried and True Meet.
Mayor Pickler itahas been learned,
was largely influenced to his decision
by meeting Of a number of the true
and tried in the ranks of the democ-.
racy which was held in the office Of a
local attorney Saturday evening. AT
this meeting 1t was declared to be
the sense Of those present that the
mayor should allow the use of his
name. These men, 1t is understood,
have all expressed to Mayor Picker
in person their feelings on the matter
and the announcement made this
morning is believed to be the result
of the action taken at the meeting.
am not announcing my candidacy
for the purpose of oppGing any other
democratic nominee y IA sthea mayor,
II am not opposed to the nomination
Of any other individual but am simply
offering my name for the reasons that
l have given and because my friends
have insisted on the matter. Besides
do not fancy the idea Of quitting
under fire.
Others Named for Honor.
Ex-Mayor 7. j. Phillips and Stephen

most prominently mentioned for the
democratic nomination. Al De France

Of February IA last and based on
complete engineering reports on all
of the problems involved.
Limit of Altitude.
The committee decided that under
no circumstances should the surface
of the canal be more than sixty feet
above the sea, and estimates that at
this level the cost would be SITS, S,O13,-
406. A thirty-foot level is estimated
to cost $194,213,406.
1t is recommended that the Chagres
river be controlled by dam at Gam
boa, built to a crest height of 200
feet, and the waters of the lake thus
created disposed of through tunnels.
The work on the foundations of the
dam will require from one to one and
a half years, and the committee re-
ports, should begin at once. The dam
at this place, it is stated, involves no
formidable obstacles, which is not
the case at the Bohio location.
Actual work with the new American
steam shovels in the Culebra cut has
demonstrated that the entire excava-
tion can be done at cost of so cents
cubic yard. The former isthmian
canal commission estimated this cost
at 80 cents. This reduction amounts
to a total of 500 900 and is given
as justification of the recommenda
ton Of the sea-level canal.
