STRAY BALL
Passes Through Window
of Kress' Store.

A bullet that passed through a
rear window of Kress & Company's
store Thursday afternoon, came
dangerously near the head of Mr..
F..W. Eldridge, the manager of the
establishment.
The ball entered the frosted glass
about two feet below the ceiling,
and ranging upward, struck the
metal, when it's force was we'll spent,
and it fell to the floor in the front
part of the building. Mr.. Eldridge
was sitting at his desk in his office
at the time and the leaden missile
passed within a few inches of the
top of his head. The ball was shot
from a 22-caliber rifle and came
from the direction of West Eighth
and Water streets. 1t is thought
that it was a stray bullet, fired,
probably, at bird or some other
object. Manager Eldridge, however,
certainly had very close CALI

Radford, but was required to pay
alimony, has been relieved from
further payment and the divorce
made absolute, by decision in cir
cult court yesterday. The couple
separated about five years ago. The
former wife has been living in New
York and Maj. Radford is at present
stationed at Philadelphia. The case
has been a long drawn out one, Maj.
Radford seeking to obtain relief
from the heavy alimony the former
decree required him to pay. This
could not be obtained until FIVE years
had elapsed. Maj. Radford's home
is in this county. He was appointed
a naval cadet in 1886 and has risen
prominence in the service.

FOR BENEFIT
OF POWERS.
Bill introduced in Congress
to Protect State
Criminals.
TO SAVE Ky. ASSASSINS.
Provides for Transfer of
Criminal Cases to
Federal Court.

Washington, April 6.-The bill for
the benefit of Caleb Powers, upon
which John w. Langley and several
other former Kentucky Republicans
have been at work, was introduced
yesterday by Representative Hughes,
of West Virginia. The bill proposes
the amendment of section Ga, revised
statutes, to make it read that when
a defendant in a criminal action can
not enforce his rights in a State
court because Of prejudice of by
reason of illegal or corrupt acts of
the court wherein the suit is pending
or of the officers thereof is unable
to secure a fair trial." the Federal
courts may take jurisdiction upon the
petition of the defendant in the
State court "The act shall take
effect from and after its passage and
include all cases now pending for
trial in any State court" +" is the Ian
guage of the last clause.
Mr.. Langley and probably one of
Powers attorneys will be heard upon
the bill before the Judiciary Com
mittee.. If the bill should be report
ed to the House it would occasion a
general discussion of the Powers
case, in which Representative James
would probably take part. 1t is not
considered probable that the bill
be reported favorabIy as its passage
would virtually abolish the power of
State courts by allowing the indis-
criminate transference Of cases to
Federal courts.

First Four Days of Term
Taken Up In Consider
ing Claims.
WILL ADJOURN TODAY.
A Spirit of Economy Pos
sesses the Eight 'Squires.

The Fiscal Court, which has been
in session since last Monday, expects
to get through with pressing matters
today and adjourn. The new court
is composed of the following magis-
trates, all Of whom have been in at
tendance this week: Democrats.
2. Dixon, A. j. Estes. w. w. Gar
rott, j. M. Morris, w. L. Parker.
Republicans-H. B. Clark, j. H.
Moore, John w. Rodgers.
The examination of a large num-
Der of claims practically took up the
first four days of the time of the
court. Up to adjournment Thurs
day afternoon claims aggregating
$1,000 had been approved and or
dered to be paid.out of the 1906 levy.
The election held last year for
county officers cost a great deal of
money, and of course the levy for
paying officers of election caused
larger increase in the amount to be
voted out Of the county treasury
than usual. The policy Of the court
indicates a spirit of economy and we
think the taxpayers will have no oc-
casion for the coming four years to
complain of recklessness in spending
the money of our taxpayers.
Making the levy for the year 1906
was the first business to be disposed
of at the meeting of the court yes
terday morning. Many of the mag
istrates are new men at the wheel,
and would naturally want to inquire
into every detail, and besides it al
ways requires a great deal of
thought and dellberation to antici-
pate what amount Of money will be
to meet future exigencies
and known expenses.
Every member of the court has
been in high good humor and the Re-
publican minority something very,
very unusual to write-is treated
with the utmost kindness by the
Democratic members" In fact, not
an unpleasant word has been spoken
during the deliberations of the body.
No doubt this fraternal feeling will
continue and the guardians of the
county's interests, presided over by
the liberal-minded and dignifed !
Judge Breathitt, should lay aside,
and no doubt will, all partisan feel
ing and work together for the COM
mon good of all.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian., 1906-04-07

The Court up to the hour of our
going to press had not disposed of
the levy question. From members
of the court to whom the subject
was mentioned we CLEANED enough
to warrant us in saying that, owing
to the financial condition of the
county, the rate of taxation will be
the same as last year-poll tax 81 so;
State and county purposes so cents
each. The matter will be disposed
of today before the court adjourns.

HOPPE MADE GREAT
RECORD IN WEST

rarnent at 1s-itich ba1k line two shots IN,
which came to an end in Orchestra Hall,
Chicago, last Saturday night, was, With
out doubt, the most brilliant ever record
ed In the realm Of the cue and worries
Not only did the boy champion win first
prize in The tournament, scoring four
straight Victories and not losing a. single
game, but he also broke the worlds
record for n high rur1Fnt lS.2 balk line.
when he counted S07 carroms without

SO brilliant was Hoppe's playing In tho
tournament that he made the other con-
4testants--George B. Sutton. George, +.

nil veterans of scoresfof tournaments
look like mere rovtces. Hoppe scored 1000
run OF s07, q best single average Of So As
and grand average OF q 6G-72.
Though the worlds record average OF
100, made BY SUIT ION @5aga inst hoppe In
the recent tournament In Madison Square
Garden, was not surpassed, the Chicago
tourna ment produced a cluster OF the
highest averages everlrecorded. The best
single average was SO 20 and was made
BY sutton in.the game with Slosson. suit
ton, who finished III 4 econd place, with
three Victories and one defeat, losing only
to Hoppe, made q record nearly as sersa-
tlonal as that of the winner. In the final
game with scllaefer&h he made a high
run Of GAG. the second best In the tourna-
8ment, and an average OF Il 81. It was not
surprising, theref fore, that sutton, with
two such high single averages - So 20
and Il 81, had the best grand average
for the tournament, 20 1850 There We're
ten games required to decide the compti-
ton.
In the face of the sensational billiards
played by Hoppe and Sutton, the per-
formanoes OF Slosson, Cure and Schaefer
made only an indifferent showing. Each
won one game and lost three. They I'm
