Letter Received From Com
missioner Of Police.
Says Sclniitz Wished 10 Sell Whisky
After the Earthquake Caused
Dry Spell.
JAPANESE WORK ON RAILROAD.

San Francisco, July 1i.-Police
Commissioner Thomas Reagan last
night handed to Mayor Schmitz a
letter In which he positively refused
TO resign from the board. He makes
the most sensational charges against
the mayor and sheds interesting light
on the inner workings of the admins
tration. In this letter, which was en-
tirely in his own hand. Reagan says:
Your honor will, no doubt, recollect
that on one occasion you requested
me to solicit-not insurance-but
whisky. You may also remember the
morning when, behind locked doors in
your private office. you pleaded so
eloquently for me to join you in the
sale of whisky. and the profits, $50 a
barrel. to be equally divided between
US
at that time tried to impress upon
your honor that such thing would
be dishonest and disgraceful, and fur
ther that a certain firm had no stand
ing, and any dealing with II would be
improper and resented by every other
wholesale dealer.
Time, the Western National bank
and several deluded saloonkeepers
have proved my assertion true. Ny
reason for referring to this matter is
to show your honor that | am opposed
to soliciting insurance or whisky. Az
ter my refusal TO sell 100 barrels of
whisky per week at a profit to me of
$50 each | knew your honor was dis
pleased with me and | endeavored 10
pay strict attention to my duties.
Reagan makes the direct charge
that the mayor hired and brought
from the east a detective to assist
him In unfairly accomplishing the
downfall of former Police Commits
sioner Hutton. He also says:
In this very short note to your hon
or touching upon matters past and
gone, LET me inquire. in passing, about
the present. would like to know
the number of houses of i,l-fame now
in the city in your possession?

All lines of building trades, with

Head On Curb. =
BOY AND BICYCLE RECOVER

Charles James. an elghteen-year-
old negro performed a triple somer-
sault with an original windup of spin
ming on his head. at Broadway and
Sixth street yesterday afternoon. To
the casual observer It might have APP
peared to be forerunner of the cir
Gus but Il was even more than this,
and the Legro will probably have oc-
casion to remember the incident.
James was riding on a bicycle and
at Broadway and Ninth street got on
the smooth bitulithic street. His
sporting blood was aroused when h,
caught up with a fast going Broad
way car and a race was Immediately
started. At Sixth street and Broad
way the rider did not notice a deep
hole and his wheel shot into 1t before
he was aware OF his Danger.
The wheel droppet INTO the hoe
but James went in the opposite direc-
tion-stralght up. He turned a triple
somersault and finished the stunt
with a spin on his head. His fore
head struck the curbstone and when
he was picked up a few seconds later
by Chief Of Police Collins. he was
thinking only Of the borrowed wheel
"Ef the wheel am not damaged ]
guess Use all right" he stated when
he collected his scattered wits. An
exami.ation Of the wheel showed II
to have escaped, and the yanqushed
rider rubbing a big swelling on his
forehead and cash in his head, con
tinued his journey.

Concerning the work, Secretary

There are hundreds OF men right
here in Paducah who would be greatly

to go to the Commercial club head
quarters and investigate this matter
and show little interest in it, and
encourage the people who are making
every effort to build up Paducah and
this section of the state? Would 1t
not be wise and a reasonable thing
for the business men and property
owners of Paducah. who are being
benefited every day by the CONNER
cial club work to leave their work
for few minutes occasionally and
crop into the Commercial headquar-
rs and show some appreciation for
tie work being done and give some
