The TOWN COW
MAYORS RIGHT TO SUSPEND
THE LAW II QUESTIONED.
By Both Judge Lightfoot and Attor-
ney Bagby-Why They Are
Talking.

County Judge r. r. Lightfoot
threatens to bring criminal action
against the city officials for neglect
ing the enforcement OF the stock law.
Tie was in. anything but a very mild
mood when Sun reporter called
this morning.
you say in your paper that in
tend to institute proceedings in the
criminal courts-get warrants
against city officials for falling to en-
force the COW law" he declared.
Yesterday / had the fence removed
from about the court house and
planted flowers and plants. This
morning ! find that cows came I'm last
night and ruined many of the best
flowers and plants.
mayor Yciser had no right to
suspend the enforcement of the ordi-
nonce. 1t could have been legally
enforced until proven invalid. and
this was never done Had the APP
pellate court decided the ordinance
invalid the measure could have been
enforced until that time. II is like
in the case of criminals who are pre-
sumed to be innocent until proven
guilty. There was no necessity Of
suspending the stock law. and the
court house yard is nearly ruined as
a result. There are other yards in
Paducah which have been treated
just as badly by COWS. and IL some
thing Is not done at once without
further delay. | shall get warrants,
and | mean It, too"
President f. w. Bagby. lof the H.
brary board, who drafted the ordi-
nance, stated this morning that he
did not see why the mayor suspended
the enforcement OF the law "He had
no right to do II at ALL" President
Bagby declared, "and why he did 1t
remains to be explained. The resi-
dents had plenty of time to make
provisions for the enforcement of the
law. There was no necessity OF wait
ing. They might just have kept their
cows locked in, and the law will be
enforced
The law is supposed to become eff
fectiye Monday. and all COWS caught
roaming at large will be arrested.

son of Mr.. Enoch Lynn, who last
year in difficulty at the race tracks
near that city, killed Bert Amoss, a

and the blow so injured him that he
died almost instantly. Lynn was ar
rested and held for killing Amoss.

days court action resulted just as

President Bleecker, of the local
body, wants all those interested in
the Chautauqua to be present.
Three Chautauqua gatherings are
among the most important events in
all intelligent communities and never
fail to attract large attendances and
to profit them greatly. Promoter
Shaw promises the local association
some very learned speakers to ad-
dress them during the meeting and
other interesting additions TO any
program which may be locally ar
ranged. He understands the business
of such gatherings and Will more
than likely put the association well
and fully on its feet this evening.
The Chautauqua will be held at
Wallace park. as no place about the
city is so suitably situated in all re-
respects. II will take room to accom-
modate the people and the park will
furnish this room. The grounds Will
be suitably prepared for the gather
Ing. which is certain to assemble dur
ing the continuance of the meeting.

realize that the best parks are those
in the heart of the city.--within
walking distances for the people
who will use them.
q park should be located on thu
site herein suggested, and one In
the north end. and one in the south
end of the city. When this is don.
we can then consider the establish
ment of a rustic park in the country
but just now the proposition to 10
cate the parks where the people cal
get to them without having TO use
the street cars or vehicles will appea
to most people.
The Sun is for the location of thu
first park on the site proposed.

the first match game of the season
with the Lone Oak Kentucky College

double-header games win be the
only kind played II the league is
formed. The Cairo High school
team wants to play Paducah and Me
tropolis on the same day, one team
in the morning and the other in the
afternoon. 1t has been suggested
that the Paducah and Cairo teams
be treated likewise in Metropolis.
this kind of arrangement proving
more of drawing card than a single
game a day would.
Correspondence is still being car
ried on between the three towns, and
it is likely that some sort of agree
ment win be reached within short
time
The High school tennis club has
begun spring practice in the courts

A Suspicious Case.

The police this afternoon were ad-
vised that a white woman had died
near the mouth of Clark's river this
morning and that she was unattend-
ed by physician and that there were
bruises on her face shich were not
accounted for. The matter was re-
ferred to Coroner Eaker and he has
gone to the locality specified to in
vestigate. An investigation by tele-
phone could develop no additional
facts except that the woman's name
was Weber and she lived on a shan
ty boat with her husband, who is a
fisherman.

TAFT TALKS ABOUT CANAL.
Thinks Work Should BE Done BY
Contract-WalIace Incident.

Washington, April 20.-Secretary
Taft continued his testimony before
the senate committee on interoceanic
canals yesterday. discussing. among
other subjects, the relations of VIM
Nelson Cromwell in canal matters
and the circumstances leading to the
severance of former Chief Engineer
John Findley Wallace from the canal
enterprise. Concerning Mr.. Crom-
well, the secretary said the impress
sion sought to be given that that
New York lawyer had attempted to
interfere in canal matters or to exer
else great influence in controlling
the policies to be pursued was wholly
unfounded.
Regarding Mr.. Wallace severa!
letters never before made publit
which passed between the secretary
and Gov. Magoon were submitted in
support of the secretary's charges
that MIR. Wallace deserted the gov
eminent when crisis was at hand .
and that his leaving might have
meant Disaster
Secretary Taft said tropical negro
labor would have to be relied upon
in building the canal, although he
expressed willingness to try Chin
ese IL it could be done within tn,
law. The canal ought to be built b,
contract, the secretary said, but IL
bids were opened now the result
would be much higher prices because
OF the large element of risk due to
lack of knowledge which would ente:
into the fixing of every bid.

SAN FRANCISCO THAT WAS
---.r THE NEW SAN FRANCISC

HE NEW BAN fKANClSCO.
The latest news from San Francis
co but adds to the horror OF the fate
that has befallen 1t, and moves more
deeply, If possible, the sympathies of
a warm hearted nation.
The city, one mass of ruins, the
burying ground of hopes, of fortunes
and Of innumerable people, is first in
the minds of the world today.
But out of this abyss of wreck, ruin
and desolation, of hopes dissipated
like showers before sunshine, of for
tunes offered as sacrifice to the mad
elements, there comes the ray of
light that bespeaks the dawn of the
new day, the turning to thoughts of
rebuilding a once beautiful city.
Everything seemingly gone the peo-
pie are still possessed of that energy,
that optimism and enthusiasm that
built such structure in such short
space of time. and, Phoenix-like, a
new city must arise from this mass
of ashes and debris.
Not awaiting the abatlng of the
greed of the elements, the work has
started, and sympathetic world,
with generous offers of aid in any
form. will render every possible as
sistance.
San Francisco, like Chicago, Balti-
more. and other stricken cities, will
rise again more glorious than ever
but ever mindful of the terrible incl
dent of its life.

A CENTRAL PARK.

The movement started by the Del
phic and Magazine clubs to have the
property bounded by Broadway,
Washington, Ninth and Eleventh
streets condemned and purchased by
the city and converted into a park is
an excellent one, and 1t is hoped will
prove a successful one.
This rs the first step in the civic
work that these clubs have had in
4 contemplation for some time, and 1t
will meet with the hearty and sub
stantial approval of many who have
always felt something should be done
with the district bounded by these
streets.
A movement was started sometime
ago TO purchase the district and con-
vert IT into park, and II was again
suggested few weeks ago when the
authority was given second class cit
ies to create a park commission and
raise funds with which to purchase
sites for parks.
Mayor Yeiser has not yet selected
y bis park commission. but as soon as
Ne does this matter should be taken
