AN APPEAL FOR jim HOWARD'S FAMILY

Responding to an urgent appeal
made by republicans and democrats
alike, The Sun presents a plain
statement of fact in regard to James
B. Howard's stricken family.
James b. Howard Is now confined
in the penitentiary, where he will
serve a life sentence, having been
convicted of the murder of William
Goebel, five years ago.
Mrs. James B. Howard and her
three little children are the innocent
victims of the predicament Mr.. How
ard finds himself placed in by pro-
cess of law. For five years this he
roic woman has labored INCREASINGLY,
and never without hope, to secure a
vindication for her husband. Their
little home has been swept into the
legal maelstrom, and today they are
dependent on charity for the clothes
they wear. and even for the brea
they eat.
This condition will not be permit
ted to remain as long as there are
tender hearts in Old Kentucky. This
loyal wife has, by devotion typical
of Southern womanhood, touched the

Annual "Watch" Bulletin.

The /. c. road has issued a new
annual bulletin relative to its en-
ployes' watches, and sets out the
class of watches to be used. Former
ly watches of II to 10 jewels were
considered perfect watches, but when
the manufacturers began increasing
the jewels to 81. 23.and "a, railroad
employees began buying them, but
Judging from the bulletin they have
not proven so satisfactory.
It will be important to know that
the railroads experience in watches
was shown that the lesser jeweled
watch is the best and the following
clauses of the bulletin sent out will
show what the |. c. expects of Its
employees who buy watches in the fu-
ture, and will also give some idea of
the care exercised in the work of
the inspectors:
"while the foregoing schedule for
new watches includes 21 and 23 Jew
eled grades. the results of experience
have proven such highjeweled watch
es impractical and short lived Tor
railroad service. Their complicated
and deliacte construction renders
them liable to get out OF order cas-
lily, difficult md expensive to repair.
The efficiency and safety Of the time
service is thereby impaired and the
first cost of watches and their main
tenance afterward is excessive 10
employees.
Therefore II is recommended that
employees when purchasing new
watches for use in railroad service
should select II or 10 jeweled grades
which have steel escape wheels. sap
phire pallets, double roller escape
ments. Breguet hair springs, patent
regulators adjusted to temperature

UNION STOCK YARDS
CITY SOON TO HAVE SUCH AN
ENTERPRISE.
Local Capitalists Are 10 lyry the
BarnhiIl Yards aud Enlarge
Them.

Paducah Is to have a big union
stock yard, and the plans now In
course of formation will be consum.
mated within the next few weeks
Before spring is well in season the
work on the big yards will be pro-
crossing and Paducah given one OF
the biggest enterprises OF the char
acter in the state.
Local capital alone Is interested
In the matter, but as yet no informa-
ton will be given out relative to the
promoters. The idea is TO buy the
Barnhill property or stock yards al
Caldwell street and the junction of
the N, c. e. st. l.. and the |. c.
roads, and convert IT, into. union
yards. This can be done with little
Inconvenience. The buildings on the
property are old and will have to be
torn down and new ones erected, but
the location could not be better Sc
lected
The N, c. & st. l.. and the I. c.
roads have spur branches running
into the yards at present, and cattle
unloaded from the river can be
loaded into cars at the river front or
driven to the yards. either plan be-
ing acceptable to those who are en-
gineering the deal The amodnt of
cattle shipped via river is compare
lively small. however, but the mat
ter of driving them to the yards will
be an item.
eve Intend to organize at once
and buy the property" one OF the
interested promoters stated this
morning, "and we understand that
the board of health will endorse u.s.
The board OF health wants some
place where stock can be conferred to
facilitate proper inspections. and no
better place can be selected The
will not interfere with the operation
of private stock buyers, and will
make 1t possible for every head of
stock brought TO Paducah TO be
carefully inspected, something that
Is not always done at present.
1.-The promoters have had this idea
in formation for some time. but have
not been in a position where any
thing could be said. Plans have
now reached a point where the
yards are certainty and II is only
a matter OF few weeks before we
will have the work well under way"
The Barnhll stock yards are now
being operated by Mr.. Lucien Dur
-ett, the former alderman.

THE Western spirlt"-that spirit
of enterprise which has done so
much toward converting an almost
Wilderness IN mary sections into
cities of importance--has manifested
Itself in Fort Smith, Ark. in a some
what new and most admirable form.
The people of that place agreed upon
the necessity for a general recon
struction OF the streets OF the place
and the great need OF sewerage to
conform to lbs growth and improve
ment otherwise. The matter was
placed to the people for a solution
and civic pride was appealed to-
The result was not only surprising
but most creditable to the people OF
that growing Western town. TO car
ry out the general wish for these
improvements the property holders
took the matter up and decided TO
divide the city into districts and vote
taxation on the respective districts
to make the improvements. This re-
suited most satisfactorily and mos
surprisingly. The movement Is bare
ly month old and yet OF the So

years more the people now well ac-
qualnted with Fort Smith will hard
iy be able to recognize the place of
today, for such evidence of enter
prise will not only secure the
streets and sewers wanted but will
add many other improvements both
beneficial and identifying. And then
the town. too. will have drawn many
thousands more people into Its lin
its, for all who seek new homes like

willingness to live and to prosper
while doing so. The people of
many other towns could emulate
those of Fort Smith with general

YESUYIUS' WRATH
A PAIL OF DEATH
Continued from page -
Sympathetic Rulers.

King Victor Emmanuel and Queen
Helena have further endeared them
selves to the people by their activity
in behalf of the sufferers and the gov
eminent is exerting itself for the re
lief of the destitute.
This work, however, is INSTRUCTED
by the congestion of all the means Oh
transportation which is mohopolized
by carrying people out of the zone of
danger. The king and queen and
their suites arrived at Naples last
evening from Rome When the royal
train reached the station, the erup-
ton of the volcano was almost at its
worst, but both insisted upon leav-
ing Immediately for Tore Annun-
ziata, and set out for the afflicted
districts. A touching scene greeted
them along the way.
The sovereigns visited Santa An
astasia, Gercola and Somma Vesuv-
ana, where they were greeted with
great enthusiasm. At a certain point
the royal party were struck by a
small cyclone OF ashes and cinders.
The king sent his motor car ahead
at full sped and crossed the path of
the cyclone in safety. 1t was found
necessary to continue on foot.
The Menaced Country Inspected.
A press correspondent last evening
visited the menaced villages. Rail
way and tram tracks were inches
deep below volcanic ashes and the
same material made the roads i'm
practicable for horses, so that an
automobile was the only means left
by which an inspection of the devast-
ated country could be made. The
scene was one of such misery and
terror that ii can never be obliter-
ated from the memory. Slight tremb-
lings of the earth were felt and fire.
quent flashes of lightning cut
the smoke. Darkness came
at intervals long before nightfall.
In the streets of the deserted towns
the only sound heard was the thud of
Jumps of ashes falling on roofs and
the putting of the automobile. In the
towns where the people yet remain
the inhabitants are roaming discon
solately about the streets.
In coure of time the tour point
was reached from which Vesuvius
could be seen under its cloud OF
smoke. The high cone of the vol
cano has gone almost entirely, hav.
ing been swallowed up so that the
height of the mountain is coo feet
less than formerly. On the north
side Of the mountain new craters
have been formed.
