GRAND JURY Is INVESTIGATING

Chicago, June 2.-Charges of
bribery against an official Of the En-
ployers' Teaming company we're made
to the grand jury by President Shea.
of the Transfers union, and by AL
bert Young, former president of the
same organization.
Young and Shea claim that they
were offered 10000 two years ago
10 bring about strike of the team
sters employed by Sears, Roebuck G.
Co.. a rival concern of Montgomery,
Ward e. Co. They said that they re-
fused the money and the strike was
never called. After leaving the jury
room Young made statements to
newspaper reporters going more into
detail than those he had made be-
fore the jury. He was again sub
poenaed and brought before the ju-
ry second time. He refused to'tell
where the meeting had taken place or
name the men present when the
$4,000 was said to have been offer
ed. Young declined to give any
good reason for refusing the infor-
nation and was taken before Judge
Barnes, who was asked for a ruling
on the matter. The court ordered
him to answer the jury's questions.
Young and members of the grand
jury returned to the jury room and
he was questioned for an hour. He
gave the names of men offering the
money, but refused after leaving the
jury room to discuss what had taken
place.
Indications are that the Team
Owners association, which has man
aged to keep out Of the trouble so far
will soon become involved in the
strike as they have about decided to
make deliveries to strik-bound hous-
es. Should the team owners take
this step, against the wishes of team
sters. it will mean a spread of the
strike.

WORKED IN PRINT-SHOP
And Learned to Juggle-Kiralfy
Came to Paducah Years Ago.

Kiralfy, the man who is doing the
juggling act at the Casino In Wallace
park this week, was formerly a news
paper man in Mt. Vernon, Ohio. He
started in as printers devil" and
first took to juggling while working
about the Office. In those days the
newspaper life was not so strenuous
as now and they had more time to
divert themselves, so he used to Jug
gle the mallet, the side-sticks, col
umn rules, foot-slugs. planer and
quoin key and in fact anything else
he could get his hands on.
In this way he became very nimble
with his hands and although he en-
gagged in other work, he never stop
ped practicing his juggling. Several
years ago he was second clerk on
the steamer Buckeye State, and used
to pass Paducah regularly when the
boat ran in the Ohio river trade. He
found when he came here to I'LL an
engagement at the park this work
that he knew many people. and
doubtless a number. especially the
river men remember him.

For His Tour OF the Southern
States.
He Will Go As Far As Little Rock
Special Session Of Congress In
November.
ALL DETAILS NOT SETTLED

Washington, June president
Roosevelt vii start on his trip
through the south next autumn, on
the night of October II. Coupled
with 1t was the statement that the
extraordinary session of congress
which 1t is the present intention of
President Roosevelt to call, will not
begin until after the November cleo
tions.
The president had intended to be-
gin his southern trip early in Octo-
Der, but within a day or two he has
concluded to postpone the departure
until the 18th. The trip will con
sumo about two weeks.
AS yet the itinerary has not been
arranged definitely, but 1t rs the
presidents intention to visit many
of the important cities of the south,
including Richmond, Raleigh. ~ c.,
and Charlotte, N. c.. Atlanta, Ga. /;
Jacksonville and perhaps Tampa,
Fla; Birmingham. Tuskegee, Mont
gomery and Mobile, New Orleans
and Little Rock.
The trip will end at Little Rock,
and the president and party will re-
turn directly to Washington from
that city. 1t is likely that some 9TH
er cities will be included in the
stops made by the president.
The length of the stops to be made
at each place has not been deter
mined yet, but will be governed by
the necessary arrangements to be
made hereafter.
A delegation from Charlotte, N
c., called on the president today to
urge him to spend a day there. He
told his callers that so long a stop
would not be possible, but promised
to extend his cordial greetings to the
people of Charlotte.

FIGHT Is OVER.
Gas Lease Extension Ordinance Has
Been Withdrawn.

Philadelphia, June 2.-Without a
dissenting vote both branches of the
city council last night withdrew the
ordinance authorizing the extension
of city gas works to the United Gas
Improvement company, for 70 years.
for which privilege the company was
to pay the city $25,0O0.000. The
select council also unanimously con-
flrmed the appointment of Sheldon
Potter as director of public safety
and Lincoln Acker director of public
works.
Another important move was made
in the common council when a resolu-
ton was presented fixing the tax
rate for next year the same as at
present. Republican organization
leaders, who advocated the gas lease
extension, claimed money was needed
Immediately to meet expenses, and
asserted that II the ordinance was
defeated II would be necessary to In
crease the tax rate. Mayor Weaver.
on the other hand, contended that
the existing rate was sufficient.

Russian Officers May Have Done
This.
TO Keep the Ships From Falling
Into the Hands Of the
japanese.
LATE THEORIES ADVANCED

Washington, June 2-OHicial and
press dispatches from Toxic contain
so little evidence that either torpe-
does or gun fire were entirely re-
sponsible for the sinking of so many
Russian ships that officials at the
navy department are inclined to
think that Rojestvensky's battle
ships may have been sunk by their
own officers to prevent their falling
anto the hands of the enemy. Moth
ing contained In advlces received
from Lieut.. Frank Marble. American
naval attache at Toxic, gives proof
of this surmise. but officers familiar
with torpedo tactics question that
great battleships could be so quickly
sunk by a torpedo fire.
II Is pointed out that the Retvizan.
the Tsarevitch and other Russian
warships at Port Arthur were re-
peatedly struck by torpedoes. but the
damage sustained did not sink them.
They mere repaired and again made
ready for service.
II is thought here that the com
manders OF certain of the Russian
ships. seeing the battle was going
against them, opened the valves and
sank their ships, just as did the
iSpaniards at Manila Bay. In the
straits where the battle was fought
the water is so deep that 1t will be
for the Japanese ever to
raise the sunken Russian battleships
and cruisers.
II is the opinion of naval officers
that. with all the valves open, the
engine and frerooms of fhe Russian
ships would be so flooded within a
half hour that no one could with
safety remain on board
Gun fire would not. except in I'M
usual cases, sink battleships so quick
~ as the Russian craft are reported
TO have gone down. II the ships
struck floating mines they would, in
the opinion of naval experts, have
sunk almost immediately-woul
have turned turtle" like the Sebas-
topol, Admiral Makaroff's flagship in
the Port Arthur roadstead last year.

or these ships only the Yashima
had been reported lost. but so silent
were the Japanese concerning II that
Just before the battle In the Korean
Straits American, naval officers were
in doubt whether the Yashima might
not still be afloat. The navy depart
ment admires the secrecy which has
been maintained in order that the
Russian government might not know
how the japanese fleet has been
weakened. even though the losses
with the exception of Yashima were
slight.
The other great Japanese loss was
the Hatsuse which struck mine and
sank off Port Arthur That became
known at once. but through no fault
OF the Japanese.
