THE POLICE BILL is
CERTAIN TO PASS
Thinks Representative L. p.
Head, Here Today.
He Says Paducah Will Probably Have
"a Democratic Morning Paper
Before April 4.
HE GOES BACK TONIGHT

Representative l.. p. Head, OF Pa
ducah, arrived yesterday from Frank
fort, Ky, and will return tonight.
Mr.. Head is here on business. II is
understood that he is interested in a
new morning newspaper to be start
ed in Paducah, and he stated in re-
Spouse to an inquiry today, that If
certain arrangements now under way
are completed, Paducah will have a
morning Democratic newspaper be-
fore April /. He said that he be-
lieved the arrangements would be
completed. He is one of those who
will be interested.
Mr.. Head said in regard to his
police bill that he believed it would
pass without trouble. IL has been
favorably reported in the house, and
is now in the orders of the day. The
bill, If passed and signed, will not
become a law until May. Mr.. Head
does not think it need necessarily
affect Paducah this year. 1t could
not possibly require the city to spend
more money than has already been
appropriated for the police depart
ment, even if it required the full
number of patrolmen that is speci-
fed in the bill-thirty.
Representative Head Is becoming
quite popular in Frankfort, and last
Friday presided as speaker of the
house. Yesterdays Frankfort Jour
nal says of him:
Hon. l.. p. Head, the popular
legislator from McCracken. occupied
the speakers chair during the entire
session of the house yesterday He
presided with dignity and snap, and
added much to his already great
popularity among his fellow-mem-
bers. Mr.. Head is prominent
member of the Fraternal Order of
Eagles. and will have the backing of
Kentucky in the forthcoming meet.

MYSTERIOUS CASE
OF OPERA SINGER
Miss Stole, Heard Here in Paul
Jones, Had Close Call.
She Was Found at Peoria, ILL.,, Suf-
fcring From the Effects of
Strong Poison.
SHE WILL PROBABLY RECOVER

Patrons of the Kentucky theater
will doubtless remember Miss Mar
garet Charlotte Stole, who sang the
part of "Malaguena," niece of Don
Trocader, in Paul JONES'" the comic
opera presented by the Rose Cecilia
Shay Opera company here recently.
Dispatches from Peoria, ILL.,, tell
the following story of Miss Stolle's
strange actions:
Peoria ILL.,, Feb. 1S.-Miss Mar
garet Stole. who plays the leading
role of the Paul Jones company, was
found by the police in an apparently
drugged condition shortly after noon
today. Apparently in a dying condi-
ton she was rushed to the city hos
pital. The attending physician an
nounced that she would probably re-
cover. How she came in her present
condition is not known. She is too
i'll to talk.
Uncertain whether the woman
was drugged or whether she attempt
ed to commit suicide, the local police
department is bafIled. There also
seems to be a romance of some sort
connected with the case.
at was shortly before noon when
neatly dressed young woman.
pretty and apparently well bred, en-
tered the house at No. GIG South
Adams street. She asked no ques-
lions of any one. She simply walked
up stairs and seeing a bed, proceeded
to retire. The landlady ordered her
to depart. She paid no attention
whatever, and was soon in a deep
sleep. An officer was called and
after several Intellectual efforts were
made to awaken her she was has
tened to the city prison. BY the
time the city hall was reached the
woman was in an unconscious condi>
ton.
CDR. Dowdall announced it as his
opinion that the woman had either
been drugged or is suffering from the
effects of a poison taken with sui
cidal intent. AS he worked her life
was slowly ebbing away. She final
ly got so low that it seemed as if
every second would be her last.
Having administered restoratiyes the
ambulance was fastened out and the
woman was rushed to the Cottage
hospital, where she began to improve
and it is thought she will survive.
"She can tell little concerning her
self. When she had regained con-
seriousness she said that her name
was Margaret Stole, and that she
was member of the Paul Jones
company. which appeared in this city
last Monday evening. Beyond this
nothing could be obtained from her.
