the army officer here It is the opinion
that the call for the mobilization Of
regular troops on the Fort Riley res
ervation will come at time when 1t IL
least expected. The late lack Of infor-
nation in regard to the mobilization
Of the troops is considered ominoul
since II has become known that Pres
ident Roosevelt u anxious to test the
facilities of concentration under con.
ditions such as would exist were thu
troops called out quickly for active
service. Should this plan be used the
troops that will come here for the
mobilization and maneuvers during the
summer months will get little II any
notice In advance ordering them ia
move to Fort Riley. The purpose Of
the plan is to develop rapidly Of equip
ment and concentration. 1t Is expect
cd that there will be between 5000
and 10000 regular troops on the Fort
Riley reservation during the three
summer months. Those that have al
ready been designated for this concen'
tration are stationed in the middle
west and some will come from as fai
north as Fort Smelling, MINI. Most Of
the troops will come here by marching
all Of the way and those from The

End Of discussion I'm sight.

Washington, May 7.-Practically ali

discussion on the railroad rate bill
There is among republican senators
some disposition to antagonize the

fact that this provision is accepted
by the conservative senatorial leaders

News as to certain pending amend
ments to the Hepburn bill
The meeting lasted more tnan an
hour. While the president made IL
clear at the outset that he desired not
IN he quoted directly as TO the views
ne might express he said that he was
perfectly willing that his views snouio
be known and be stated In the IAN
enage Of the members Of the press
who were present The discussion
dealt chiefly with the various PROPOSE
lions for court review from the broad
amendment offered by Senator Long OF
Kansas. The president in beginning
indicated clearly and positively that
he would be satisfied with the enact
ment Of the Hepburn bill as It was
reported to the senate from the COM
mittee on interstate commerce. lie
pointed out, however, that some advo-
Gates Of railroad rate legislation-as
sincere friends Of the legislation as
he himself was-believed It would be
wise to 90 amend the measure as 70
provide specifically for a review OF tho
decisions Of the interstate commerce
commission by the courts
To this end the proposition evolved
BY Senator Allison Of Iowa. which
now practically has been agreed upon
BY the republicans Of the senate was
offered. and after consideration, was
accepted by the friends Of the measure
including the president The president
expressed the opinion that the ehect
Of the Allison proposition already Is
embodied in the Hepburn bill. and II
also Is his opinion, as he stated II
Friday, that II there is the slightest
doubt that the Hepburn bill. BY impL-
cation. does not carry the effect OF the
Allison proposition It ought To be IN
corporated explicitly In the measure
before its enactment into law. Per-
sonally, he favors the narrower re-
strictton of the amendment OF Sena-
tor Long, but some other advocates
Of the legislation DO not favor that
amendment.
He made II clear that the Judgement
Of the friends Of the measure was 90
evenly balanced on the question OF
che Long amendment that 1t was
scarcely worth while to make a con
test for II, as year or two OF the laws
operation would demonstrate clearly
whether It would be necessary further
10 amend the act in the way proposed
By Senator Long.
The president assured his hearers
that he and every advocate Of the
pending measure would be satisfied
perfectly with the Hepburn bill and
with the amendment proposed BY SEN
atoT Allison.

PUBLIC TEST
OF MIR. SAM FORESIAN'S INVEN-
TION TO BE MADE HERE.
Every Prospect is of Success-Wili
Make Him a Million IL II
Proves Successful.

The electrical invention of Mr.. Sam
Foreman, to prevent railroad wrecks,
is to have a practical test in Paducah
shortly and the test will be witnessed
by some of the highest officials of
several of the biggest roads in the
country.
Mr.. Foreman. as announced many
months ago, has completed an inven-
ton which has already proved salts
factory and practical in private tests
II is based on electricity and while
simple in application. it is said the
device has accomplished something
with electricity that no other contri-
vance ever even approached. This
is to make two electric currents
lump one another when trains pass
each other on switches.
Mr.. Foreman has associated with
him in his invention and its tests
and disposition, his brother, Mr.. Al
Foreman and County Judge r. T.
Lightfoot, the latter not only finan-
.cially interested, but the legal sup
port of the organization as well.
A visit was paid to st. Louis re-
Gently by one who is interested in
the invention and one railroad Off
cal stated that If the test proved be-
yond doubt successful in a practical
way. it would mean the fortune OF
the inventor and his associates. He
said that the invention would easily
bring a million dollars.
The invention has been explained
before. II consists of dry batteries
in the cab of engines. These batte:-
les when brought into use work ma
chinery which shuts off steam and
applies the brake and at the same
time shooting off warning gun to
the engineer.
Even though the engineer should
be dead. the invention will stop the
trains If they are approaching each
other in opposite direction on the
same track.
A public test is being prepared for
the invention now and the demon
stration will be made here in Padu-
cab, the home of the inventor.

Officers Aaron Hurley and Henry
Singery recovered the watch this

DIDN'T LAST
COLD WAVE ARRIVED ON TINE
BIT DID NOT LINGER LONG.
Tho Lowest Was Thirteen Degrees
Aboye-Many skaters Out
This Morning.

The cold wave arrived according
TO schedule, but does not appear TO
have come for a very long stay. Last
night was the coolest of the season,
the minimum as shown by Observer
Bornemann's records being thirteen
degrees. Much ice was formed, but at
noon today there had been big
thaw and the predictions were for
warmer weather.
The small boy is happy today, for
there is skating and plenty of it on
the smaller bodies of water about
the city.
Yesterday morning before day
light the first snow of the seasoL
fell. and the temperature began
drop ing until II passed freezing
point. The small ponds and gravel
pits about the city were frozen over
this morning thick enough to sup
port the weight of an ordinary per-
son, and dozens of boys were out at
day break skating about until school
time.
Some were skating in the resi-
dent section of the city in cutters.
The ice on the smaller and more shall
low ponds and pits is frozen thicker
than on the larger bodies Of water
and II may be seryeral days before
the latter are frozen sufficiently TO
make skating safe.
This morning hardware dealers
had a small run on ice skates. Ice
skating has succeeded roller skating
the latter having been conspicuous
on the pavemepts for several weeks
The cold weather has interfered
considerably with the tobacco mar
ket and there will be no sales for
four or FIVE weeks.

Prominent Doctor in Fulton
County Loses His Earnings.
Hid His Collections in the Smoke
House and Thief Escaped
With IL All.
AND LEFT NO CLUE BEHIND

A very mysterious theft has set the
people of Fulton county agog. No
one has been able to fathom 1t, and
about all that is known is that be-
tween $4,000 and $500 was stolen
from the smoke house of DR.. A. J.
Turney. at Alexander, near Fulton.
DR.. Turney is prominent physi-
elan and land owner. and in addition
to his extensive and lucrative prac-
tice, derives considerable income
from his lands.
He had heavy collections since the
first of the year, and had not had
time to go 10 Fulton to deposit the
money. hence the presence of so much
money at his home is accounted for.
1t seems DR.. Turney has an enc
my in that locality, and recently
found a note threatening to kill him,
which had been left under his door.
Since then he had been cautious
about the money he happened to
have on hand. and had been secret
ing it in the smoke-house.
The thieves evidently knew he was
taking in considerable money and
discovered where it was being kept,
as they apparently got possession of
it without any trouble and left no
clue.
1t is supposed that they went to
Crutchfield, nearby, and boarded an
|. C. train that passes through at mid
night.
A great sensation was created
when the news of the theft was sent
broadcast by DR.. Turney yesterday,
but it is believed that the thief or
thieves had by this time put many
miles between them and the scene of
their crime. Alexander is intuition
county, above Fulton.
1t is understood that the only rea-
son anyone could have had for writ
ing note ordering DR.. Turney to
leave the country is that he was re-
Gently involved in breach of prom

toriety.
