Another Belt Line Proposed.

A street car improvement that
would be of vast benefit to the city.
especially to many South Side peo-
pie, would be the extension of the
street car line around from Broad
street to the Illinois Central depot.
1t may not be made soon, bat it will
probably be built as soon as the city
constructs a MI between the two ter
minals. The people of the South Side
who desire to go to the depot, now
have to ride around to Broadway on
Third or Sixth street. and catch a
depot car, and it is often impossible
to make the trip inside of an hour.
The proposed line would also be a
great benefit to the laboring people
who live in one part of the city and
work in another. The Traction COM
pany hasn't considered this improve
ment yet, but has already had its at
tention called to the nature of it,and
some of the officials express the be-
lief that It would be a good one II
there were fill to build 1t over.

The effort to locate Illinois Contra.
shops at Nashville has proven a fail
ure and ii is announced that instead
of taking the Paducah shops there,
as some of the modest business men
of Nashville wanted TO do, the shops
here are gradually to be made larg-
er and more important than ever, and
il will not be long until work is
is brought here from many addition
al places and some of the smaller re-
pair shops abolished. This old talk
of moving the shops hobs up every
year or two, but never amounts to
anything. Since the Cairo extension
was built and the Tennessee Central
acquired, Paducah is more conve-
nient place than ever for taking work
and the Illinois Central doubtless
knows it.

Iii and Cannot Serve.

still III this morning but court was
convened and Attorney Tom Crice
sat as special judge in the case of c.
w. Boswell and others against the
Citizens Savings Bank of the city.

others in Mayfield had been speculat-
ing in the markets through a local
commission firm and lost several
thousand dollars They sued for the
amount lost and attached money sup

on deposit for the "Odell Commission
Co" but the money was not deposit
ed or certified to the "odell Commits
sion Co.." but to the "Odell Co" ana
to this company the money was paid.
The plaintiff alleges that the
"Odell Co." and "Odell Commission
Co." were one and the same and is
trying to establish this fact.
1t is a case wherein much evidence
is to be heard. and will require some
time to try.
The first action after court was
convened for the second week was to
empanel the petit jury as follows;

out in regard to the number of bad
places in the slate roof on the new
market house. About forty pieces OF
slate were found broken by rocks
and balls thrown to the roof by boys
in the neighborhood. Some of the
statements were that forty squares"
were damaged. There Is a vast differ
ence between squares" and the reg
ular pieces Of slate used in a roof of
this kind. Owing to the fact that the
greater part of the day except on
there is NO one working
about the market. it is very difficult
to keep the boys from throwing mis-
siles to the roof and damaging it.
a close watch will be kept,
however.

WHY NOT END THE WAR?

Judge Walter Evans suggestion
that the representatives of the city
and the East Tennessee Telephone
company get together and come to
some agreement, is a sensible one.
The fight is one that might affect the
public, and the public accordingly
has a legitimate interest in it. A
settlement can doubtless be reached
IL the city is disposed to act fairly.
1t claims the telephone company has
no franchise, and the company alleg-
es that it needs none, and thus far
has defeated the city at every turn.
II 1t needs a franchise it should be
made to obtain one, and should have
been made TO obtain one years ago,
when franchises were created by the
new constitution. II it doesn't have
to have a franchise. the war against
il should in the interest of good gov
ernment stop.
The company not only voluntarily
offered some months ago to purchase
a franchise as the price of peace, but
also paid the city for one. and the city
signed a contract, il is claimed, to
furnish one. The city violated its
contract. 1t made the maximum
rates in the franchise so low that the
company refused to bid on it. The
question of rates is now all that
seems to keep the company and the
city apart. A very sensible thing to
do, 1t is very probable, would be to
draft a franchise with a maximum
rate agreeable to the company, which
would mean the highest rate that
1t could charge during the life of the
franchise, twenty years. The compa-
ny would hardly undertake to charge
an exorbitant rate, as It has compe-
tition, and every subscriber would
have an opportunity to rebuke at
tempted extortion by refusing to pat
ronize the company. II ought to be
plain to any sensible person that 1t
would mean business suicide for a
concern to attempt an excessive rate
with competition in the field. Hence
it seems it would be much better for
all interested to sell the company
franchise and allow the laws of COM
petition to settle the question of rate.
In this way the tedious and costly
telephone litigation would stop. II
is of no apparent benefit to anyone.

Ohio Leonard Dismissed.

The Louisville papers announced
Saturday that Ohio c. Leonard. son
Of the late S. n. Leonard, of Eddy
vile. had been arrested there for at
tempting to defraud the Old Inn Of
a board bill. He has money with the
Fidelity Trust company. but cannot
draw 1t until he is 81 years old. and
when he gave an order to the hotel
clerk for s10.50, the amount of the
bill, he told the clerk that he did not
know whether or not IL would be
honored. when the case was called
Il was promptly dismissed, 1t being
shown that there was no intention
TO defraud anyone. The young man
is we'll known in Paducah, where he
has often visited.

More Market House Needed.

Mayor Yeiser in his annual mes
sage, recommends building an auxil-
larry market house land his sugges-
ton will probably meet with some
consideration when the report of the
market house comes in from the au-
ditor's office.
This morning Auditor Kirkland be-
gan checking up the market house
stalls and benches, and stated that
he had many more applications for
benches and stalls than he has stalls,
The market house is not i. large
enough to accommodate the butchers
and farmers. and in addition resi-
dents who live on the outskirts of
the city find it hard to come so far
to buy. The demand is peculiar, as
many people never go tomarket, OF
send to market, but do all their buy
ing through the grocer or from itin-
Grant peddlars and hucksters. In
this way the distance Of the market
has little effect, but the main thing
now is providing more room for the
butchers and marketers.

II is likely from present indica-
tons that the moving of Messrs.' Il.
p. Noble and S. A. Fowler to Area
dia will not affect their eligibility as
members of the board of public
works, as the charter provision in
regard to residing in the city speci-
fies elective officers, not those who
are appointed.
Even If it applied to all, however,
it is claimed by friends of Messrs
Fowler and Noble, that they can cali
wherever they please their home, as
the mayor does, and as many Padu-
cahans do. who reside in Frankfort
and claim Paducah as home and come
here to vote.

WALTER EVANS. Judge.


Officer Aaron Hurley has returned
from Fulton where he had gone to
arrest Bernard Schulke who is want
cd here for irregularities in passing
checks.
schulke has been before the
courts before when employed by the
Jake Bederman Grocery company.
II was alleged that he took goods
from the wagons and converted them
to his own use. but the case was
fought from court to court until he
finally won. and in the end brought
a suit against the company for sl0.-
600 damages for malicious prosecu-
ton.
This ended Schulke's court expert
ences and he dropped from the pub
Hes eye for time. This time he Is
alleged to have passed a worthless
check on b. Weille, where he
bought a suit and gave in payment
the check. The check called for more
than the bill of goods and he receiv-
ed money in change. His wife rcceiv-
ed letter from Fulton and the Off
GERS believing him to be there wen,
down to arrest him, but he was no
whore to be found.

Concrete Bridge Would BE Costly.

1t is unlikely that the proposed
arch. or series of arches, over Island
Creek instead of new bridge, will
be decided on by the city. Some ia
miliar with such work say that the
right kind OF an arch would cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000. II this
should prove correct, the city would
probably abandon the project, al
though it is generally conceded that
concrete structure over the creek
would be we'll worth whatever 1t
would cost the city to build it. The
question of what is to be built will be
taken up later.

St. Louis, Jan. S.-The statement
was made last night by President j.
A. Jackson of the local Topographic
al union that four printing firms
whose printers have been out on a
strike had signed the new eight-hour
wage scale and the 200 men affected
will return to work today. The new
scale adopted by the union and
agreed TO by the four firms calls for
$3.50 for week of forty-eight
hours, eight hours per day, and for
ty cents for the first hour overtime
and SO cents for each additional
hour.
President Jackson said the agree
ment was reached after a long con-
ference during which each side made
concessions.

Mayor ID. A. Yeiser has assumed a

boards passed If they can be consid-
cred in the least right and fair.

AS might have been expected how
ever, the kicking has begun over the

been to consult" attorneys about
fighting the ordinance, solely because
the license is higher than they think
it should be for their particular bust

ordinance will stand any test in the
