Says City License Inspector
George Lehnhard
Denies Claim of Paducah DistilIeries
Company That Bond Is Not
Necessary.
-FOUR WARRANTS SWORN OUI

As the result of instructions given
by the city solicitor last night a war
rant was sworn out this morning by
George Lehnhard. license inspector,
against the Paducah Distilleries com
pany, charging it with selling liquor
by the wholesale without authority.
Three other warrants filed away will
be reinstated.
Morris ]. Friedman, president Of
the concern. appeared in the in
spector's Office this morning and
charged that official with prosecuting
him, but Mr.. Lehnhard insisted that
he is only doing his duty in the mat
ter.
The claim Is made by the company
that ii is not necessary to furnish
bond to sell liquor by wholesale. and
as a wholesale dealers license was
issued him on certificate of payment
of $25 to the city treasurer, the con-
Germ is projected.
The general council refused to issue
a license to the company in July. Mr..
Friedman later, with his attorney,
Campbell Flournoy, appeared in the
Office of City Treasurer Dorian and
rendered the s25 for the license neces-
sary before going before the council
for permit and bond. With the GER
tlficate from the treasurer they went
to City Clerk Bailey and secured
license.
City License Inspector Lombard
claimed that the sale of liquor by the
company Is Illegal as in violation of
section 1G7 of the license ordinance
adopted January, 1905. which makes
It obligatory for concern selling
liquor in quantities of not less than
one quart and not to be drunk on the
premises, to execute bond before the
general council. The ordinance con-
cludes the applicant shall not COM
mence business until said bond is exc
cuted."
Mr.. Friedman insisted that the or
dinance does not require any bond
for wholesale dealers. but the in
spector is of the opinion Mr.. Fried
man has mistaken an amendment to
section 167 of the old ordinance,
which was adopted in July. 1905.

Diamonds Going LIP.

New York. Oct. 10 Wholesale
dealers have sent notices to the re-
tailers that diamonds will cost 20
per cent more this season than last

Africa are inferior to those OF other
years and do not yield on cutting as
high-grade gems in the commercial
sizes as formerly. Again the cost OF
cutting and polishing stones is great

Tribeu OF DIue Eyed Tnd,.n,-


Red haired negroes are scarce enough,
but an equally curious freak Of nature
Is seen In the Griegos Indians, near the
City of Mexico. They are light com
plexioned, and the majority have blue
eyes and light hair. They dress prln-
cipally In two shades of blue and their
clothing Is good and well made and
generally ornamented with the bead
and silk embroidery of which Indians
are 80 fond. Their houses are better
built and furnished than is usual
among Indians, and many have pianos
and other musical instruments, upon
which they play with considerable skill.
These Griegos have no commercial or
social connections with other tribes,
holding aloof from even those who live
at the base of the mountain on which
the village Is situated. They raise
their own food, do their own manu-
featuring, have their own schools,
churches and social institutions and
seldom or never marry outside their
own tribe. There is said to be another
tribe Of blue eyed, fair haired Indians,
who have the appearance of Germans,
living In the Sierra Madre mountains
in the state Of Durango.
