MANY EXTENSIONS
ASKED OF THE CITY
Traction Company Wants to
Build On Several Streets.
Many Thousand Dollars VIII BE
Spent in Making the Improve
ments IL Permitted.
SOME TRACKS WILL COME UP

The street car company has COM
pleted its plans of track extensions
and changes il wishes to make in it's
tracks this year, and last night, ar
piled TO the council for a franchise
over the streets to and on which Il
wishes to extend its system.
A franchise is wanted for the fol-
lowing streets:
Ninth. from Clark to Broadway.
Eighth, from Tennessee TO ClalN.
Fifth, from Madison to Trimble.
Trimble. from Fifth to Sixth.
Tenth, from Trimble to Burnett.
Burnett, from 10Th to 18th.
Broadway, from Fourth to Fifth.
Under the scheme of extenslons,the
Broadway line will be double track
ed. from Fifth TO Fourth streets.
The union depot line will start
from the river and go up Broadway
to Sixth, south on Sixth TO Clark,
west on Clark to Eighth. south o.
Eighth to Tennessee and then on to
the depot.
The jackson street car will go out
Broadway to Ninth. thence over to
Jackson.
The Oak Grove cars will go out
Broadway to Sixth. porth to Madi-
son, west on Madison TO 18th, north
on 18th to Trimble, thence west to
the cemetery.
The Rowlandtown cars will go
north on Fourth to Madison. west on
Madison to Fifth. north on Fifth to
Trimble. west on Trimble 10 10th.
north on 10th to Burnett, thence on
to Rowlandtown.
In this way every division will be
an independent system. susceptible
of the proper extensions at any time,
and in no way a competitive line.
Under the present arrangement. the
Trimble and Madison street lines are
in a measure competitive lines. and
so are the Jackson and Clark street
lines.
Each division will be run hereaf-
ter on its own time, aud good deal
better time can be made The cars
may probably all come around the
loop at Fourth and Broadway. going
around the block bounded by Fourth
and Third and Broadway and Kentuc
( Ky avenue.
The Mechanlcsburg extension is
not taken into consideration in the
present Arrangement as here outlin-
ed. as this awaits the disposition of
the proposition for a new bridge over
Island creek. The Third and Sixth
street cars. under the new arrange
ment, will make loop. as at present.
and be tapped by an extension over
into Mechanicsburg.
This work calls for a big expend-
iture OF money, as II Is the eompa-
ny's Intention to lay very heavy rails
and put down the best sort of road
bed construction. as well as over
head work.
when the new tracks are laid new
cars will be substituted for the pres
ent rolling stock, and Paducah will
then have as good a street railway
system as will be found in any city
of its size.
Under the proposed arrangement
of tracks the following tracks would
be taken up:
Madison from Fifth to Sixth.
Sixth from Madison to Trimble.
Trimble from 10th to l2fh.
Clark from Eighth to Ninth.
Jackson from Sixth to Ninth.
Ninth from Jackson to Tennessee.

for franchises for the extension OF
its lines and the re-arrangements OF
the present tracks. did not ask for
franchise for Mechanicsburg and

New York, Dec. 20.-Official an

the Times says today, Of the incorpora-
ton of the North American Life Insur-
ance Company, under the laws of New
Jersey, with a capital of 100000, and a
surplus paid in of $15O,000. and with
new company, it is stated, will do bus
iness on the nom participating plan en-

the first few years to states other than

This information is taken to mean
the plan of the New York officials to
provide for the transfer of its excess

ter. Since the 1st of January there
have been about 900 of these at work
on the canal, and of this number not
one has died from disease. They have
malaria in about the same degree as
the white Americans, but not at all to
the extent that the negroes have 1t,
and there has not been a single case OF
yellow fever among them. Their gen.
eral condition is about as good as it
! was in their homes in Spain. and they
stand the climate very much better
than the negroes. The chief engineer Is
convinced by this experiment that "any
white man, so-called, under the same
conditions will stand the climate on the
Isthmus very much better than the
blacks, who are supposed to be i'm
mune from practically everything.
but who, as a matter of fact, are SUBJ
ject to almost everything"
Plan Of Reorganization.
"In harmony with the plan of procur-
ing more direct method of admins
tering the affairs Of the commission, an
executive order was signed by the
president on November II, 1906, (Ex-
hibit k). during his visit to Panama.
amending the executive order OF April
/, 1905. under which the commission
had been previously reorganized. The
work is now divided among the fol-
lowing departments: The department
Of engineering and construction, the
department of law and government,
the department of sanitation, the aud
iting department, the purchasing de-
partment, the disbursing department,
and the department of labor, quarters
and subsistence. The head of each de-
partment is rendered directly respon-
sible for the work carried on under his
direction. They are all appointed by
and report directly to the chairman of
the commission, who, in turn, is re-
sponsible to the president thru the sec
retary of war, for the conduct of the
enterprise a $ whole.
The principal changes effected over
the order Of April 1, 1905, are the abol-
ition Of the executive committee the
consolidation Of the legal and govern
mental departments, and the separa-
ton Of the sanitary department from
the governmental department. In the
absence of the chairman from the
Isthmus. the chief engineer. who is the
head of the department of construction
and engineering, acts for him in all
matters requiring immediate attention,
and his action remains effective unless
disapproved Of by the chairman.
Respectfully submitted.

First Vice President of Venezuela to As
sumo Presidency Upon castro's
Death, Which Is Expected Very
Soon, But Bitter Struggle Is Expect
ed to Result.

Port of Spain. Dec 20.--Latest Car
acas advices indicate that President
Castro is much worse even than claim
ed. He cannot live more than week
longer. Should he die First Vice Pres
ident Gomez will Immediately assume
the presidency, and will be supported
by large section Of the army. A very
large element of the country, including
Andinos, or the mountaineer support
ers of Castro, however, will be opposed
to Gomez. Castro has been making
strenuous efforts to compose the diff
ferences between the Gomez party and
a party headed by General Alcantara,
president of the state of Aragua, but
the endeavor has been failure. Alcan-
tara has been supported by some other
presidents of the interior states in his
opposition to Gomez. He has accumu-
lated large army and considerable
war material, and is determined not to
recognize Gomez, but to raise a revo-
luton for the purpose of obtaining tho
presidency. Meanwhile rebel force
headed by General Rafael Montilla,
which recently captured Rarquesmito,
l2O miles from Caracas, is daily In
creasing in strength. The condition OF
Venezuela is deplorable. Outrages Nv
bandits are increasing dailN and the
country is threatened with anarchy.

EXERCISED AuTocRArIc POWER
Resolution Is Later Modified and Then
Put Over Until After Holiday Re-
cess - Shaw Dismisses Life Savers
House Adjourns fon Holidays to
January 3-Washinston News.

| Washington, Dec. 2O.-Immediately
aker's resolution looking into an in
vestigation by the senate of the presi-
/ dents discharge of ther negro COM
,panies of the Twenty-fifth infantry,
was taken up. Foraker addressed the
4 senate in it's support He began with
/ the broad declaration that the presi-
dent misconceived his constitutional
power when he discharged the troops
and also misconceived the testimony on
which his action was based.
I Foraker said the presidents consti-
/ tutional power was simply to COM
mand the army and navy as comman-
der-in- chief while to congress the con-
stitution gave the power to raise arm
les and make rules and regulations for
their government. The regulations
prescribed that no man could be sum-
marily discharged without the right to
be tried and the articles of war, he ar
gued, prescribed minutely how these
trials are to be conducted; that all
punishments should be in accordance
with the directions of the court mar
tial He contended, after reading at
length, from the articles of war, that 1t
was inconceivable the president should
be absolutely without restraint. The
president, he said, stated In his mes
, sage that these soldiers were guilty OF
mutiny and had been discharged for
that reason. He followed this with the
article Of war as providing that court
martial should direct the punishment.
This was all to guard against the ex-
ercise of autocratic power. Congress,
to provide against excessive punish
ment, had limited the penalties, he said.
When Foraker concluded his re-
marks he received unanimous consent
to modify his resolution so 1t now di-
rects the senate committee on military
affairs to investigate the circumstances
leading up to the discharge OF negro
troops
Lodge replied briefly to Foraker's
speech. Scott remarked that as ne had
read the history Of the Spanish -Ameri-
can war, the Tenth cavalry, colored,
was largely responsible for the preser-
vation of the rough riders. "If it had
not been for the Tenth cavalry. we
might not today have the privilege OF
having that gallant soldier and spien-
did president today in the white
house." he added.
The resolution of Foraker goes over
without action until after the holiday
recess.
