Harry Rudolph Witness Against
Alleged Murderer.
Paul Herbert Schmidt to BE Placed
On Trial For His Life at
New York.
WAS LOCATED IN JAIL HERE.

Deputy County Jailer Harry Ru-
dolph will leave tomorrow for New
York to appear as a witness against
Paul Herbert Schmidt, the young Ger
man arrested here for murder COM
mitted near Sherman, Conn, several
months ago. A telegram was receiv-
ed at police headquarters this morn
ing from Detective McCabe, of the
Pinkerton forces, who is stationed
at st. Louis, saying he would come to
Paducah tomorrow to meet Rudolph
and accompany him to New York.
McCabe is the detective who worked
the case up and secured the confess
sion of Schmidt.
1t will be remembered that
Schmidt killed farm hand named
Taylor on Che Crittonton farm near
Sherman, Conn, and escaped to New
York and then came south to Padu-
cab. He worked for the I. C. and
lived at Officer Tom Murray's house.
Later he stole Murray's star and pis-
tol while the officer was asleep and
skipped out to Carbonate. ILL.,, but
was arrested and returned.
While waiting in jail for trial. he
wrote home to his mother in New
York and the Pinkerton men saw the
letter and suspecting it coming from
the son, ordered Detective McCabe
from st. Louis to Paducah to inves-
tigate. He brought a photograph
and the police here recognized it as
the maa in jail. He was confronted
and broke down, making a confess
sion
The confession was secured In writ
ing and Deputy Jailer Rudolph wg-
messed it which makes it necessary
that he be present at the trial to tes-
tify.

SHERIFF POTTER
RETAINS LAWYERS
Object Not Divulged, But Crisis
Is Approaching.
Each Side Intimates Things May Be
come Warm for the Other
Side.
FRIEND OF sHERIFF TALKS

Sheriff Lee Potter has retained
the law firms of Wheeler, Hughes
and Berry, and Bloomfeld & Crice
to represent him in the "muss" that
has been raised in regard to the col
lection of county taxes There seems
70 be considerable feeling developing
In the contest. partly because Of the
alleged political features of the sit
uation, and partly because a good
many taxpayers have been convlnc-
ed that they have had to pay too
much taxes.
The attorneys retained by Sheriff
Potter decline to discuss the case at
present, but a friend of the sheriff
is authority for the statement that a
great deal could be told if it were
advisable at this time, and thas a
great deal will be told in due time.
You've heard the old saying about
give a calf rope declared one of the
sheriff's supporters. and the sheriff
has simply been letting out slack.
He'll pull the rope taut when the
time comes. The ground is going to
open up and swallow up some of
these fellows before they know It."
County Judge Lightfoot had moth
ing to say when approached by a re-
porter, except that he was unaware
cf the purpose for which Sherin Pot
ter has employed attorneys. He
laughed when told about the earth
swallowing somebody up. and said
that he opined when it undertook
that stunt it might close in on some
body who is not expecting it.
The work on the assessors books
at the courthouse is progressing
slowly. A great many overoharges are
alleged to have been found from the
tax receipts, but on the other hand a
friend of the sheriff said today that
not half a dozen people had called at
the sheriff's Office to have these al
legged overcharges corrected and get
their money back which they can do
at any time and that some of the fig
ures made by the county judges ex-
perts, when taken to the sheriff's Of
fee, were soon proven to be incor-
rect. This, however, is merely an un-
official statement, and the general
public is patiently waiting for the f.
male of the affair.
There are rumors of damage suits
and such things, but nothing definite
can be ascertained about any of the
reports.

PADUCAH PLAYERS
ARE TO GO TO THE COTTON
STATE LEAGUE.
Gerard and Gilligan VIII BE Mem
bers of COOney Best's of the
Cotton States League.

A very good proof that the Kitty
league is about as fast if not faster
than the Cotton States league, is
shown in the action of Cooney Best,
formerly a pitcher and manager of
the Paducah team two seasons ago,
who will this season manage the
Hattiesburg, Miss, team in the Cot
ton States league.
Best has signed Gerard and Gill
gan and was after Hughes and Free
man. Gerard played third for Pa
ducah and Gilligan short, Buck Free
man doing star work in the box.
Hughes played first base for Cairo
and if Best did not think the mate
rial here was fast enough, he would
not be after the players. He says he
expects to get a bunch together
strong enough to take away the pen
nant and this is an indication that
Cooney, who knows his business,
thinks Kitty league players fast
enough to do this.

IN THE MATTER.

Pensacola is to have real genuine
Fourth of July celebration, a celebra-
ton with oratory, music. the booming

display at night. ~
A number of prominent, citizens have
interested themselves IN the mater
and called on Mayor Bliss yesterday
to get him TO lend his support TO the
project and help arrange TO make II
a success
The celebration during the day will
be held in Bay View Park in the east
ern part of the city on Bayou Texar.
Although the city Mas owned this
park for many years nothing has ever
been done to improve 1t by the city.
Il is proposed to raise liberty pole
in the park on that day and unfur!
a handsome American flag with appro
pirate exercises, thus opening the park
under the new city administration
which has such a promising future
A speakers stand will be erecteF
and plenty of seats provided, which
will be left in the park for the use OF
those who may thereafter wish TO Wis

cleared out and wells Put down &c
furnish plenty of good water. Their
is already a pavilion and a number
of bath houses on the premises, erecl
ed by private parties, which will be
at the service of the public on tha
day. Refreshments stands and every
thing possible will be arranged for tbI
comfort of the people.
In addition 10 the speaking and NH
sic there will probably be several boa
races. swimming matches and 9th 4
sports.
As the park is not lighted the fire
works will be displayed in the CITY
It is suggested that a reception ma!
be given by the Daughters of the Rev
olution at the Hotel EScambia.
This is Freedoms day and no al

AND DELIVERS A LECTURE TO
THE OFFICERS OF THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT-oNLY FOUR DE.
PENDANTS WERE BEFORE HIM.

Judge Chas. H. Laney, who was
elected city recorder by the council
Wednesday night, held his first ses-
sion of court yesterday morning.
When the hour arrived for court to
convene Mr.. Laney appeared and was
sworn into Office by City Clerk Ber-
nard, after which Mayor Bliss. who
was presiding, surrendered the bench
to Judge Laney with congratulations
There were only four cases to be
tried, and before these were called
the new Judge proceeded to deliver
to the police department talk
which outlined his future policy In
trying cases, and also what he pro
posed to do when defendants were
brought before him.
The officers who were present lis
tened attentively to what Judge Laney
had to say. He told them that In fu
ture they should respect all parties
and when arrests were made that tn,
party arrested should not be paradet
before the public and Inundated blu
escorted to the police station as qui
city as possible. Also that an office
in making an arrest should not repl,
to any abuse that might be heape'

JUDGE LANEY PRESlDES
OVER POLICE COURT

upon him, but act as an officer, and
bring the matter before the court,
where justice would be rendered ac-
cording to the facts.
Regarding young men of the city.
the judge requested that the officers
rot use harsh measures in their cases,
but to send them home to their pa
rents, as many of them might possibly
have been led into disreputable places
by other parties, being ignorant of
their location. In all cases, he re-
quested that judgment be used in
making arrests, and where persons
could be sent to their homes that such
be done
Judge Laney however, said that he
intended to impose the full penalty
upon persons who were brought before
his court on the charge of assaultins
women. No matter how low a woman
may sink, a man has no right 10 as
sault her, and if brought before his
court the defendant, II found guilty
will meet with severe punishment.
That the talk of Judge Laney to the
police department and to the prison
ers tried yesterday will result in great
good is without doubt, as he showed
conclusively in the beginning that al
transgressors would be dealt witt
with firm hand.
