Dowie and his son are rivals in
their abuse and SANDER of each 9TH
err. Each have declared the character
of the other too black for either to
be tolerated in any kind of circle
and not for a moment among a class
of declared followers of God, no mat
ter how cranky their ideas may be. IL
the Zionites want to stand in bet
ter light before the world they will
have to set both the Dowies on a
way back seat and let them remain
there for the balance of
their days They might be sue
ceeded by others just as bad as they
are, but this world will not be so
positive of it at the outset of theirser
vice at least. Let the Dowies hide
out at once; the country has had
enough of them without doubt.

Docket Cleared i'm Way of
Criminal Cases.
Week 10 Finish Up Bulk Of
Business.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE COURTS

This morning at 1890 o'clock the
court which has been busy for two
weeks, was finally discharged. all
the criminal jury cases having been
concluded with the continuance of
the Henry Holloway murder ease.
This has been the shortest term of
criminal circuit court held here in
many years, due to the Characters
tic dispatch of Judge Reed in his
court procedure. There was rath
err heavy docket but the grand jury
aided in the speedy work by prompt
action in the Jail cases.
This morning Bert Roberts. white,
who stole the bicycle belonging to
Clyde Baker. was found guilty and
given one year in the penitentiary
The court later changed ii to three
years in the state school of reform
and Detective 7. J. Moore was APP
pointed to take him there.
Frank Mason, colored, charged
with obtaining groceries by alleging
he owned a blacksmith shop, was ac-
quilted.
The case against Henry Hollowell,
indicted under the name OF Hollo-
way, for numbering George Travis.
was continued and set for the spe-
cal term of court to be held begin
ming June 25.
Mamie Gray. colored, who broke
into the J. A. Gardner drug store at
Tennessee and Third streets, was Civ
en- one year in the penitentiary.
The grand jury this morning made
report, returning 13 indict-
ments. Most of them are against baw-
DIV house keepers, and one against j.
T. Norfeet, charged with passing
worthless check. One or two bills
we're returned against persons who
are not before the court.
The time of the grand jury VIII
be extended another week, and al
though the jury cases are over, the
Judge will hold court open next week
TO receive the report of the grand
Jury. which has a great deal of work
to do yet.

APPOINTS INSPECTOR.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SEWER
AND PAVEMENT SELECTED
TODAY.
Engineer Washington Makes APP
pointments and VIII Rush Street
Reconstruction Work.

Two street inspectors whose APP
pointment was authorized by the mu-
nicipal boards last week and who
are TO assist the city engineering de-
partment in looking after the street
reconstruction work this summer,
have been selected by City Engineer
l.. A. Washington, who was vested
with this authority. and Engineer
Washington will be ready Monday
to start his part of the Improvement
work. From indications, however,
the work will not start unless Con
tractors Gardner & Robertson take
some immediate action towards the
storm water contract which was sub
let to them by the Southern Btu
lithic company.
w. +. Chappell of Nashville.
Tenn. a graduate of the engineering
department of Vanderbilt University,
has been selected as Inspector to
look after the sewerage work. and
Mr.. Alec Story will probably be APP
pointed to look after the street and
pavement work. Mr.. Story has put
in his application and Is being favor
ably considered by Engineer Wash
ington, Mr. Story has had a great
deal of experience in concrete work.
being employed for some inc in gov
eminent service working cement
contracts.
The work on the street reconstruc
ton should be progressing now, but
as IL is a delay of fifteen days--half
month-has experienced. Engineer
Washington stated this morning
that he presumed Contractor Gard
ner was in Hopkinsville. but that he
had not heard from him this week
and did not knaw when the sewer
work would start. The street work
is being retarded because 1t cannot
be done until the sewers are laid.
The Southern Bitulithic company Is
ready to do its part at once, and
wanted the work begun April LIST.
The delay is a serious matter and
should not be permitted without rea-
sonable cause.

A TEST CASE
MAY GROW OUT OF ARREST
MADE UNDER ORDINANCE.
saloon Men and Women Arrested
Under Law Validity of Which
Is Questioned.

Messrs. Ben Alien and W. c
Gray, proprietors of local saloons,
with their bartenders,s and Fannie
Wilson and Violet Lee. inmates of a
West Kentucky avenue resort were
arraigned in police court this morn
ing on a breach of ordinance charge.
and the case continued until the 18th
of test case to sound the validity
of the ordinance which prohibits
"lewd" women from entering or loi-
tering about saloons.
are guilty Of having entered the sa-
looms of the above mentioned pro-
prietors and in addition to the pro-
prietors being warranted for permit
ting them to enter the women were
warranted for entering, which is
also a violation of the ordinance
treating both proprietor and the wo-
men alike.
There is great deal of difference
in opinion regarding the validity of
the measure, and it will probably go
to the higher courts either way 1t is
decided by the police court. The sa-
loon men claim that il is "class leg
islation" to prohibit women enter
ing saloons and not a constitutional
measure, while the city council
thinks II is good law Once before
similar ordinance was Knocked
out, and the outcome OF the present
case will be watched with interest.

WILL SIGN THE SCALE.
Contractor karncs willing to Adjust
Differences With Union.

Contractor William Karnes stated
this morning that he would probably
sign the union scale this spring.
This will make the Carpenters union
strength in Paducah full up"-ey-
cry contractor of any prominence a
signer of the agreement.
Contractor Karnes two years ago
refused to sign the scale to employe
only union men. He worked several
members of his firm. which Is against
union rules. A bitter fight was
waged and no amicable agreement
reached. Now Mr. Karnes signifies
his intention of signing, but does so
of his own accord.
The contractor stated this morn
ing that he paid more than the scale
now in force, and even paid some
employees more than the proposed
scale OF $3.50 a day, but to have
matters in HIS trade running smooth
ly would sign up.
This will be gratifying to the car
penters ~ho .desire' that perfect har-
mdny exist slalong the trade.

To Build the Curb without Contract.

County Judge r. T. Lightfoot is
preparing to tear down the court
house fence and build concrete
curb around the yard. He asked for
bids for the concrete work and one
bidder bid 5000 for the entire job.
Judge Lightfoot decided this would
be little too steep, so he will buy
the material himself and employ
some one in the county road depart
ment who is acquainted with the
work to take hold of the job. Judge
Lightfoot thinks he will be able to
get the work done for $200 less this
way.

DISPOSAL OF CARRIAGE.

The board of health will petition
the council to install system OF
garbage collection daily. at the city's
expense, at an early date, and the
council should give 1t careful con.
sideration.
The proper collection, and dispos-
al of garbage is a question that is
interesting every city that is seeking
to properly safeguard the health OF
Its citizens, apd it is time that we
should be doing something along this
line for Paducah, for it is certainly
needed.
The board of health suggests that
the contract for the collection be let
by contract. This year, the expense
OF about $4,000 would have to come
out of the contingent fund, as there
seems to be nothing else on which to
draw for it. but the matter should be
given precedent over some other
things contemplated, and the appro-
priation readily made.
There is no one thing that speaks
as well, or as much. for a city as its
health condition. and beauty. The
board of health is trying to give Pa
ducah those traits in a great meas
ure and 1t certainly should be given
all assistance by the legislative. and
administrative and Judicial depart
ments of the city government, as
well as by the private citizens.

Castro's so-called political enemies
In this country believe that his alleg-
ed resignation of the presidency OF
venezuela Is only q trick of his to
mislead the outside world. They con-
tend that whether Castro or any OF
his followers is In the presidential
chair matters little, as the gang
which has SO corruptly ruled the
country will be in power and there
will be no change in the order of
things. One of these 'enemies," Gen.
Jose Manuel Hernandez Gel Mo
cho'D who led the revolution against
President Castro, of Venezuela, sew
eral years ago, and who was impris-
oned for three years following his
capture, but who now lives in New
York, in speaking of the reported
action OF Castro, says: Venezuela
can never be prosperous country
until the hour shall have arrived
when the gang is driven from the
countsy and that country put on a
footing where It, may thrive and
grow without the iron hand of OPP
preston upon the throats of the peo-
pie. Perhaps a week this will last
perhaps until moment comes when
succor will Come. TO the sore and the
tried in that beautiful land" Castro
is doubtless just as willy a schemer
as Hernandez classes him.

NAYIES OF EUROPE
SOON TO SHED $4,000, 900 WORTH
OF JUNK.
Great Britain. Germany and France
Have 240 Obsolete Warships
to Destroy.

New York, April 49, Anybody
who wants a warship can have one
cheap by applying to the navy de-
partments in London. Paris and Ber-
lin. European experts have decided
that there are 249 war vessels on the
active lists of England, France and
Germany that are useless and would
be menace only to their own coun-
tries in war time. These obsolete YES
sells are to be discarded gradually.
and no longer are they to be taken
into consideration in reckoning eff
fective sea strength.
The warships cost $500, 100000 to
build and have eaten up another
100,000.000 in maintenance and
repairs. They are now worth only
what they would bring as junk.
Great Britain some time ago began
TO discard her useless warships, get
ting rid of $50 at one swoop. She
still has, however, 80 useless YES
sells; France has 81, and Germany
&C.
All the battleships and armored
cruisers in the list have been ruled
out of future naval games, because
of their age and general condition
of decrepitude. The coast defense
boats are obsolete and the protected
and unprotected cruisers are useless
because of light caliber guns and
thin armor.
The armored vessels leave little
regret behind, because they have liv-
ed a life of usefulness, but the unar-
mored cruisers are now seen to have
been an entirely worthless invest
ment. They correspond to such YES
sells in the American navy as Olym-
pia, Minneapolis. Cleveland and Gin
cinnati. They the not fast enough to
run away from a modern protected
cruiser. nor strong enough to fight.
There are 169 of these ships TO go to

tries, and no more of their type are
to be built.
