CHARGES CLEARED
CAMPAIGN ALLEGATIONS IN LIV-
INGSTON co. Exploded.
Was Said Ex-Oficials Were Indebted
TO County, But Investigation
Exonerates Them.

Mr.. p. II. Bush. of Smithland, Liv-
ingston county, formerly sheriff of
that county, Is in faducah and re-
ports the result of an investigation
carried on by the present incumbents
of Office i'm Livingston of the records
of outgoing Democratic officehold-
ers.
1.-THE investigation into the sher-
iff's Office has been finished" Mr..
Bush stated, "and the county owes
the officers instead OF the officers ow-
ing the county, as was charged in
the campaign last fall. The investi-
cation is being carried on in one de-
partment at the time and the office
of sheriff was looked into first. The
result shows that the county owes X.
w. Lay, sheriff Is years ago. $3.50,
and that Thomas Evans, the next
sheriff, owes the county 1881; II. b.
Cowper, the third sheriff in line, owes
the county s1O.S7. and Mr. Bush,
the late sheriff, has $40 coming to
him from the county.
''This makes the county really in
debted to the Office instead of the re-
verse as was charged in the cam
paign. These are all little mistakes
which will of course happen in ev-
cry Office in the course of a term" a"
The Office of county clerk is now
being investigated and others will be
gone through in regular order, all
for Is years past since the Democrats
have been in Office.

from |. c. officials to hold daily
services at the |. O. shops and will
bring out an organ to install tenn
porarily In the wood working de-

at the churches and go out in person
to extend them the advantages II
Is fact that many railroad men have
to work on Sunday. but this Is COM
paratively a small number.
Some Of the shop men do not take
Il as high compliment to the shops
at large to have the revival started
as II would naturally hold the shop
men up in the light of sinners and
not all will plead guilty. However.
the attendance today was very good
when the noon service was held, and
the men are taking great deal of
interest In the work.
The organ is quite valuable help

A FALSE REPORT.
Scavenger Dump is Not Sunk but Out
of Mooring Place.

Mr.. Joe Waggoner, the keeper of
the city scavenger dump, stated that
the reported sinking of the dock was
erroneous and was made by scaven-
gers to avoid prosecution for Illegal
ly dumping the debris from their
wagons.
The dump docks are all right Mr..
Waggoner says, but that there is no
current to carry the refuse matter
off and 1t will settle down on the
ground to be left after the water re-
cedes. There is no place left to
move to at present and the scaven-
gers have been instructed to stop
work until the water goes down and
some place is secured to moon the
dump where the current will carry
the debris away.

Minneapolis. March 2S.- The po-
lice are searching for a gang of
thieves who robbed the local deposit
vault OF securities valued at 100000
and then opened brokers' Office here
and sold the plunder. Some weeks
ago the. house OF Joseph Pinault was
robbed during the absence of the ia
mily and plate valued at $4,000 ta-
ken. Later 1t was discovered that Sc
eurities valued at 100000 were Sc
cured on a forged order presented to
the trust company. By this means
the key to the safety deposit vault
was obtained and about this time the
brokerage Office opened in a business
district and the securities disposed
of. The Office was then closed and the
broker disappeared. The boldness OF
the whole deed exceeds anything
within the city's history.

The Cumberland Takes Over All
the /. G. Lines.
Deal Made Few Days Ago but Is
First Made Public by
The Sun.
BIGGER BUSINESS FOR BUYERS.

The |. C. Railroad company which
a few months ago started building a
new telephone line from New Or
leans to Louisville and from Louis
vile to Memphis has turned theen-
tire matter over to the Cumberland
Telephone company. even to the
maintenance OF the line after COM
pletion, and the work on the Padu-
cah district of the |. G. will begin
this week.
The contract was entered into
short time ago and little II anything
was given out concerning the matter.
Manager A. Il. Joynes, Of the local
branch, returned last night after
checking in the Eddyvile and Kutta-
wa Offices, and stated that he made
an inspection of poles and wire
which had been shipped here for the
work on the Paducah district. The
men to perform the work are expect
ed tomorrow or Friday and the job
will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
The Cumberland company is also
stringing three new copper wires
from New Orleans to Louisville for
it's own use, besides the big wire for
the |. c., and some information rel
ative to the magnitude of the under
taking was given out this morning
along with full particulars of the
contract the telephone company has
with the railroad.
1t developed that the /. G. con-
verted its No. 10 wire, strung orig
inally for telephone service, running
from New Orleans to Fulton, then to
Chicago and to Louisville, into a
telegraph wire, the copper being too
light for satisfactory telephone
service. The railroad company then
began stringing No. s wire. which
is much heavier copper. but finally
turned the contract over to the Gum
berland company and the latter has
been doing the work quietly for the
past several weeks. The Cumber-
lands contract is to string the wire
from New Orleans to Louisville and
from Louisville TO Chicago and the
I. C. road will do the stringing from
Fulton to Chicago, but after the job
has been completed the entire sys-
TEN will be maintained by the Cum
berland people. The road Will simp-
ly be the lessees Of the wire and the
operators in the exchange Offices viii!
be under control of the Cumberland
company.
"This is an enormous contract and
the work on the Paducah district,
Louisville division, will begin this
week." Manager Joynes stated this
morning when seen by Sun report
er. "The figures, of course, win be
withheld, it being bad policy to dis
close contract prices. The Cumber-
land company will. however, have
entire control OF the ]. c. system OF
telephones, the road considering
this necessary to the proper opera
ton of telephone system, having
tried it ON its own hook before. A.
the same time we are stringing the
new railroad wire. which will be
used exclusively for railroad busi-
mess, we are stringing three other
wires, one a No. for straight busi-
ness through TO Louisville from New
Orleans for our own use, and two
others OF smaller weight for general
business, and these will be improve
ments to our own system"
Poles and new wire began coming
in on the |. O. this morning and an
increased force of linemen will ar
rive this week to push the work.

Will Do So to Hold Colonial
Possessions.
Intentions Made Known by State
ments Made to Reichstag by
Herr SPAIN.
FRANCE AND GREAT BRITAIN.

Berlin, March 2S.-Durlng the de-
bate on the naval bill, in the reich
stag today, Herr Spain, the center
party leader, supported the govern
ment. He said Germany had to reck-
on on the fleets of France and Grea.
Britain being arrayed against Ger
many's increasing fleet, adding:
"We hope for, and must attain
point that the enemy will have to
consider whether it will be wise to
attack Germany or not. Parliament
ought to accept the bill without hes
itation."
Baron Won Richthoffen, conserva-
tive, said the nation was convinced
of ,the necessity for a German feet
1t was impossible to have a colonial
policy unless supported by a fleet.
ID Admiralty Secretary Tirpitzz said
he believed a naval program would
only make the German feet equal to
that of France.
All political parties, except the So
cialists, expressed themselves in ia
vor of the naval bill.
Chancellor Won Buelow's relations
with Emperor William have been the
subject of much talk among the pub
lie recently. Now and then a German
newspaper has printed guardedly an
intimation of a Chancellor crisis"
which has been followed by denials
on the part of newspapers having Of
fetal connections. Since Herr Won
Tschirsky was appointed secretary
of foreign affairs in January, in sue
cession to the late Baron Won Rich
thoffen, 1t has been said the chancel-
lor was dissatisfied because Tschirs-
Ky was selected by the emperor with
out previous consultation with the
chancellor. Every week brought out
new story. The one OF the moment
concerns the raising of the colonial
cabinet grade with Prince Ernest
Won MISUNDERSTANDING director
of the bureau, to be colonial minis
ter. Won Buelow proposed Prince
acknowledgements for the place,
but when the appropriation was re-
fused by the Reichstag appropria-
tions committee, owing to the center
party's opposition to the Hohenloe's
anti-Jesuitical actions while regent
of Saxecoburg and Gotha during the
minority reign of Duke Charles Ed
ward, the chancellor, 1t is said, sug-
gested some one else must be chosen
for the post. The emperor, however,
took the view It was best to support
Hohenloe and insist on the Reich
stag making the appropriation. The
question is likely to come up in
few days.
1t is certain that Won Buelow has
been much criticised and there is a
disposition to blame him for the sus-
picion and distrust of Germany man
ifested abroad and several govern
ment measures. especially taxation
projects, now have been approved by
the Reichstag. Criticism, however,
centers upon the chancellor for ev-
erything which any one disapproves
of. His position has been especially
difficult during the uncertainties re-
suiting from the conference at AL
geciras and his ill-wishers have util-
lied the opportunity to conduct
limited press campaign against him.
There is no certain indication yet,
however, that the chancellor's posi-
ton has been seriously affected.
