II EFFECTIVE JULY THE FIRST

Postmaster F. M. Fisher advised
the local Office today that while in
Washington this week he was advis-
ed that his application for more
clerks in the office had been consid-
cred favorably and that he would be
given one additional clerk the first
of July. and also that his recon-
mendation for Increases in salaries
had been allowed and the increases
would be made at that time also. Jul
iy 1.
This means an increase for all the
clerks of hundred dollars a year.
When Postmaster Fisher went into
office seven years ago, 1t had force
CT only three clerks, and while 1t is
a hard matter to get the force raised
to the number IL should be, by per-
sstency he has secured, with the one
allowed for July, five additional
clerks.
The department makes it a rule to
allow only one clerk a year to offices
IN cities the size of Paducah, and IL
the Office had had the proper quota
OF clerks when the present admins
t,ation went in it would now have
the force the business demands, and
to which it is entitled.
When Postmaster Fisher took
charge of the office, the average sal.
airy of the clerks was between $500
and $500 and, by getting raises
each year, he has brought the aver
age up to near $1,000.

President Willing to Accept
Reasonable Amendments.
A Vote May BE Taken This Afternoon
Many Minor Changes Made
In Original.
THE WORK MAY SOON BE OVER.

Washington. ID. c.. March 9.-It
Is announced on authority of the
president that he will accept any rea-
sonable amendments to the Santo
Domingo treaty that the senate may
make, and will endeavor to secure
the consent of the Dominican gov
eminent TO the changes.
The treaty was practically perfect
ed yesterday by the senate commit
tee on foreign relations so far as
phraseology il concerned and with
out regard to the principles involved
In the procedure proposed by the
Dominican convention. The com
mlttee progressed so far that It was
agreed to take vote on the treaty
today to determine whether the re-
port be in favor of ratification or re-
lection.
What that report will be cannot
be determined positively, although II
is believed it will be favorable. The
democrats on the committee have
expressed themselves as against
fundamentally, although they took an
active part in the presentation and
adoption of amendments. II is ex-
pected that most of the republican
senators will vote to report the treaty
as amended. All amendments adopt
ed by the committee are with the gen
eral aim of making the question
covered stand alone and of removing
all chance of It being used as a prec-
edent for like procedure in other
countries under guise of being re-
CURED by the Monroe doctrine. For
instance, one of the first amendments
strikes out that portion of the second
paragraph of the preamble which has
been constructed as a definite and APP
plieation of the Monroe doctrine to
the Santo Domingo case.

Says Inspectors Report Does
Him a Gross Injustice.
Preparing Sworn Statement--Judge
Iightfoot to Appoint an Ac.
countant.
LATEST FROM COUNTY SCANDAL

A reporter for the Sun saw County
Clerk Charles Graham this morning.
and asked him II he had any state
ment to give out with reference to
the Official report of State Inspector
Hines to the governor, and he replied
that he was just getting ready to go
out to keep his appointment at the
candidates speaking this afternoon.
and that he did not have time to pre-
pare the statement that he wished to
make.
lie said In substance. however.
that the report did him n great injus-
tice and was not correct in some of
the most important details; that the
state administration was against him
In this race for sheriff. and Inspector
Hines report was colored TO serve
their purpose; that he (IIines) was
brought down here to investigate his
Office at the instigation of Deputy
Sheriff VIII Lydon, his opponent for
Office. and for the prime purpose of
diverting attention from the sheriffs
Office and its scandal.
He said that while on the face of
the report. IL looked as II there were
negllgencies; that in going over his
books. in checking up with the audi
tor. he found numerous instances
whore he had made settlements. and
proper credit had not been given
him; that Il is. and always has been
the custom to make settlements with
the auditor every six or eight months;
that this is done by all the county
Offices. and that In the statement he
intends giving out, in detail. of every
thing. he will show that he has not
been indebted TO the state for any
amounts other than naturally were
due II between settlements. Further.
that It has been the custom OF the au-
ditor's agent to report when called
upon, and that his father. for whom
he was deputy was already to make
his report, and render the proper ac-
counting. but that in Hines report II
was made to appear that moneys due
the state from the auditors agent
was. in fact, due from the county
clerk.
Mr. Graham further stated that his
statement would be ready just as
soon as he could prepare It, and the
public would be given all the facts
in every detail, and that the state
ment would put an entirely different
aspect on the case.
lie also said that his father, the
auditors agent, had never been call
ed upon to make a settlement until
he was asked to do so by Mr.. Hines
the past few weeks.
In connection, Mr.. Graham said,
In his statement he would give affi-
dayits TO substantiate all his claims
and assertions.
