RECORD
FOR HANDLING CARS HELD BY
YARDS AT MOUNDS, ILL.
Superintendent Keith Looks for No
Immediate Changes of Local
Interest.

Mr.. o. S. Keith, superintendent of
transportation OF the Illinois Central
railroad, with headquarters in Chi
cago. was in the city on his private
car this morning.
Mr.. Keith, talking to a reporter for
The Sun, said that there are no imme-
date changes proposed in the system
which will interest Paducah.
Speaking of the congested condi-
ton of traffic caused by the washouts
in the southern half of the system,
Mr.. Keith said that the record for
handling cars was broken yesterday
at Mounds, Just below Cairo. Nine
hundred and fifty cars were handled
south out Of that point in IS hours
yesterday That would be equivalent
to making up and sending out one
train of SO cars every hour. Forty
two cars to the train is about the
biggest seen here so that more than
one train an hour probably was
handled there yesterday.
Mr.. Keith went east on No. 1O2

my wagon. Then the lady OF the
house closed the gate and said | did
not dare open Il. Here ! am with
the furniture on my wagon but I
can't get out the gate with 1t. What
shall do?"
"Call up Squire Emery or the
sheriff" suggested Chief Collins and
hung up the phone.
Meanwhile the lady In question
had talked to Magistrate Emery who
told her the man could not take the
furniture without formally foreclos-
ing his chattel mortgage. She acted
on his advice and closed the gate,
supposing the driver would unload
the furniture and drive away.
However, the driver took the
warning literally and he thought the
lady had assumed authority of lien
on his wagon Just he had in regard
to the furniture.
The furniture house sold the fur
niture on credit reserving a mort
gage lien. II Is customary when the
people do not pay to go after the
furniture. and frequently the pur-
chaser delivers the goods. without
question. but on this occasion the
gate was closed.

clined to surrender the furniture af-
ter he had once obtained physical
possession OF IL. The woman was
equally insistent. and. while the first
clash took place this morning. this
afternoon Mr.. Hamilton went to the
