UNIQUE PROTECTOR
Leading Lady in Theatrical Troupe
Accompanied by Monster Dog.

An unusual but faithful protector
as well as talented member" OF
the theatrical profession. is Colonel
r." Doubtless few people in Padu-
cab have yet seen Colonel r." but
he is here. and those who have seen
him will likely not forget him, for
he is about the biggest dog ever in
Paducah
Colonel r" belongs to Miss Caro-
line Klohr, leading lady in the Jewell
Kelley Stock company, who is at the
New Richmond hotel, and is her pro-
tector to and from the theater where
ever she may be, playing. He is a
good-natured. docile Great Dane
that is, good natured as long as she
wants him to be-weighs 100 pounds
and looks as big as an elephant when
you are walking along the street and
suddenly find him near you.
Colonel r" is from the celebrated
kennels at Emporia. Kan. and Miss
Klohr has had him five years. As
she has been with a number OF theat-
rical companies during that time and
has had Colonel r" all the time, he
is a much-traveled dog, and has be-
come so cosmopolitan that he has
even become an excellent judge OF
hotels, where he is always registered
along with the remainder of the COM
pany when it comes to town. Just
TO show who he is, IL Colonel X
could speak he could furnish a fam
ily tree that would take him away
back into the annals of canine no
billty. One of his ancestors a short
time ago won a $4,000 prize in
bench show at New York, and "Col-
onel r" could doubtless do as we'll
himself IL he wasn't so busy travel
ing from place to place filling his
regular theatrical engagements. He
appears in only one piece of the rep
ertoire, "The Whole Damn Family,
but could appear in them all II any
dag parts had happened to have been
written in them. He accompanies
Miss Klohr to the theater day and
night, and waits for her, and accom-
panies her back to the hotel after
the performance. Needless to say
she Is never annoyed by would-be
mashers, for even IL Colonel X" is
harmless, he can look at you and
scare YOU to death.

hollow just beyond Fountain ave-

streets, looked like a small river
yesterday.

creek, Bradshaw's, should be to-
wards Perkins creek, that Clark
street should be made a starting
point for the drainage towards Per-
kins creek" said member of the
board of works today. after a
heavy rain like that of Sunday.
there is too much water in this
creek. The drainage toward Island
creek is not sufficient to carry ii off
fast enough and the water stands
there. The culverts under the rail-
road bridges, the N, c. & st. L., and
the |. c., are too small and the water
backs up as a result.
''If a big, brick sewer is built,
starting at Clark street. it could
take care Of all storm water and
serve as a sewer also. DR.. S. b.
Caldwell formerly owned all the
the property along the banks, of

Vile road to Perkins creek, and when
he sold it, reserved the right to use
the creek for sewerage purposes for

this right at any time. | am in ia

MAY CAUSE TROUBLE
Florida Fishermen Fitting Out More

Investigating Recent Seizures.

Washington, May 19.-Advices re-
ceived here to the effect that the three
fishing companies operating from
headquarters at Pensacola. Mobile ano
Galveston are fitting out other schoon-
ers to fish in the gulf waters have
caused some disouiet in view OF the
announced intention of the Mexican
government to seize every foreign YES
sci taking fish in Mexican waters. lt
appears that the Mexican government
asserts that for many years Amer1-
can pdachers have been operating
within the three mile limit, and after
repeated warnings it has now de-
termined to stop the practice. AS the
United States has no treaty with Mex
leo granting our citizens the right to
fish in the territorial waters OF Mex
leo. there is no ground for protest OF
the part of the state department. lI

tablished that the vessels were ac'
tually within the marine league o

inquiry now to determine this tact II

A Remarkable Statement Made
By Max Cohen.
IN THE DEFENCE OF MCCALL
The Million Dollars Spent Under Aus
pices of Andrew Hamilton Were Jus
titled, Says Mr.. Cohen. and Saved
Millions of Dollars to the Policy
Holders-Declared it Was the Policy
of State Legislators to Hold Up
Insurance Companies

Washington, May 19-"1 am willing
to go on record that even the one
million dollars which was spent by
President Mccall under the auspices
Of Andrew Hamilton. was justifiab1e,
and further say 1t has not only saw
ed millions of dollars to the policy
holders of that company but millions
of dollars to the policy holders of
other companies"
The house committee on the judici-
ary listened~to this statement today.
It was made by Max Cohen, publisher
Of an insurance paper in this city. The
committee was considering the Ames
insurance bill for the regulation of in
| surance in the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Cohen made the further asser-
| tion that the entire amount of the al
legged graft which the Armstrong
committee discovered was not tithe
| Of the tax levied upon policy holders
| by the states He justified the means
which had been employed by the Of
feers of companies to prevent state
legislation of the .hold up" character
Officers Of companies had taxed It's
policy holders for funds to prevent
legislation to an extent not greater
than from 25 to 40 cents an individual
he said, while exactions by states haG
amounted to all the way from $5 tt
$2O per policy holder. Pennsylvania
at one time, he said, had a law II
force which exacted 10 per cent. o
the benefit of a policy. Ohio now ha
a law which takes per cent. of thi
benefit. There were a hundred othe
little items In the way OF fees an
penalties through which the state
4 obtain the money of the policy hold
ers, he continued.
Then, he said, there was tendenc
on the part of the state legislator
generally to "hold up the fnsuranc
companies when they endeavored t
block such legislation. Mr.. Cone
made a vigorous protest against tn
enactment of insurance legislation o
the basis that the managers of the in
surance business of the country al
dishonest.
