Important Question to be Settled
by Court of Appeals.
Claimed That to Tax Ties Would BE
Interfering With Interstate
Commerce.
BRIEF BEING PREPARED HERE.

A brief has just been completed by
Attorney G. c. Gresham in which
two novel and new points are argued.
1t is in the suit OF the Aver & Lord
Tie company against Sheriff Koewn,
of Ohio county, Ky. There is a case
in the court of appeals now that was
taken up from Ohio county the decis-
ion in which will affect all ties. TIM
Der and other property of corpora
lions and persons on river banks.
Heretofore the court of appeals
has held that railroad ties are taxa
BILE just the same, as other persona.
property although the owner may be
a nonresident of the state of Ken
lucky.
The case now in the court was TAX
en- up from Ohio county. where ties
were sought to- be taxed and is to be
submitted this month. Two addition
al and new points have been raised
as to why ties are not taxable. One
IS that at taxing time the ties were
entered with a common carrier for
immediate shipment, and the other
Is that what were not in actual course
of transportation were simply check
ed temporarily on the river banks
awaiting loading fer immediate ship
msnt. If either of the points are
held good as a defense it will be up
on the idea, stated Mr.. Gresham
that to tax ties would be an interfer-
ence by the state of interstate COM
merce, which is regulated by con
gress alone. The main point is that
taxation would be violation of the
federal constitution
As stated these points are entirely
new and the result is being anxiously
awaited by all tie companies as we'll
as by the sheriffs of the state where
ICES are manufactured and handled
Mr.. Gresham represents the Aver <
Lord Tie company. His brief is
ready and will be mailed to the clerk
of the court of appeals at once.

BY Judge Walter Evans In Jud-
son Pierce Case.
Damage Suit Now Cannot he Taken
Up in State Court Until Injuc-
ton ~ Decided.
FIRST or IT'S KIND HERE

Federal Judge Walter Evans, at
Louisville, has granted temporary
injunction in the case of Judson
Pierce's administrators against the
Illinois Central for $4,000 damages
for Pierce's death about eight years
ago. The suit for permanent injunc-
ton comes up here in federal court
this month and the order received
here today is simply to restrain the
attorneys for the administrator, Hen
drick. Miller aud Marble, from TAX
ing any further steps in the state
courts until Judge Evans has tried
the suit of the railroad for a perma-
nent injunction.
The damage suit has been tried in
fed court and won by the rail-
road. The court of appeals in Ken
lucky has recently decided that fed
eral court has no jurisdiction in
such cases, and the case has been ta-
ken up again in the state court on
the strength of the decision.
Attorneys Wheeler. Hughes and
Berry, Illinois Central attorneys
here, claim that an Injunction Of
this nature was once made perma-
nent at Louisville in a Southern
railway case. The temporary inJunc-
ton issued by Judge Evans in this
case is against the attorneys, pre-
venting them from proceeding fur
Their in the case. and If they should
disregard the order they would lay
thmselves liable to contempt pro-
ceedings in federal court.
This Is said to be the first pro-
ceeding of its kind against Padncah
attorneys. but there hava been sever

SOON NABBID.
Was Bud Mute When He Returned To
Paducah.

John. alias Bud" Mute, colored,
was arrested this morning by Officer
Ernest HIN on a warrant charging
him with house-brsaking, the crime
alleged 10 have been committed No
yember 8. 1903.
Mute is alleged to have broken i'm.
10 Mack Smiths house by breakins
opsn the door while Smith was away
He is alleged to have taken $3.50 in
money, ring, some whiskey and OF
er art Giles.
The negro had been olt of the city
until recently when he returned. OF.
iicer Hill located him and this morn
ing ran up against him at Berry's
groceay on North Eighth street. Mute
failed TO give bond this morning and
WAS locked up. He will be given
triad next week.
Mute had been eludlng the police
for more than two years, and
Thought that everything was forgot
zen by the officers.
This is how the police get hold OF
many criminals. Each policeman in
Paducah is given daily instructions
as TO who Is wanted. He makes a
pcte Of 1t in his note book and enters
a description. Police in Paducah are
trained in memory and a criminal
may remain away several years but

FOOTBALL GAME.
Cairo Team Here To Play High
School Boys.

The Cairo High school football
team arrived this morning TO play
a game with the Paducah High
school team this afternoon at Wal
lace park.
The teams are about evenly
matched, except possibly that the
visitors are a little heavier than the
locals. This will be the first game
this season between the two teams
and on account of the everlasting ri
yalry between the two cities, the
game will be interesting.
The local team has played one
game this season with the Metropo-
lis boys and was defeated badly.
The locals claim that two members
of the Metropolis team were not
High school pupils. that one was a
postgraduate and not eligible to
play. The two members are strong
stays of the team and had the rules
been strictly adhered to, the result
might have bsen different, the le-
Gals think.

NOW ON THE WORLD
MIR. IRWIN s. COBB ACCEPTS A
FINE PLACE IN NEW YORK.
Given Charge of the Short Story
Department At Big
Salary.

Mr.. Irwin S, Cobb, of Paducah, is
now on the staff of the New York
World. He went to New York little
over year ago, and while he had a
number of good offers, accepted a
position on the Sun when he first
went there, and from reporter to
a desk was quick work for him. He
served as special correspondent dur
ing the peace conference for the Sun
and several European papers and
when he resigned few days ago he
was in charge of one edition of the
paper ...4.
Mr.. Cobb's place on the Sun, one
of the oldest and best papers in New
York, was very satisfactory, but the
World recognized his ability and
made him an offer which he finally
accepted. He is now in charge of the
short story department of that paper,
responsible as well as lucrative po-
sltion, and it requires almost three
figures to express his weekly salary.
Mr.. Cobb's many friends will be
glad to learn of this additional good
fortune. He goes on the World prac-
tically as This own boss" and his
new work will be more dignified and
pleasant than his former work. as 1t
will give him more time for his lit
erary work proper, in which he is
becoming very successful.
