I. G. To Cut Down Hills.

The /. c. will make extensive inn
provements in the road between Pa
ducah and Louisville this summer in
order to cut down the schedule time
of freights and passengers, particu-
larly the freight trains.
For the past year or two steep
grades have been cut down until the
road bed is in as good condition as
possible, with the exception of sew
eral hills. Ii is now stated that the
road will cut down Iron Ore and Du-
laney hills, two of the steepest on
the division. This will make 1t posi-
bic to move freight trains over the
hill with less trouble and loss Of
time. At present long trains some
times have to double" over the hill.
This work will necessarily require a
great deal of time, but the road has
decided to make the Improvement.

HOW CAN THE COST BE RE
DUCED?

The city is now pretty well aware
of the cost of street lighting in Pa
ducah, and whether il is sS4 as the
committee figured it, or s62.5O as
the mayor figured it. 1t is entirely
too much. The main reason is TO be
found in the unbusinesslike manner
in which cities usually do things. No
official or employe is going to exer-
else the same care. or show the same
interest in the city's business that
he would in his own or that of pri-
yate concern where he would have to

be capable and energetic to hold his
job.
Now that IL is known what lights
have cost, however. let the wiseacres
come forward and show the people
where any reduction in the cost can
be made. Let the mayor, the board
of works, the superintendent of the
plant, or anyone else, explain how
the annual cost of the lights can be
cut down. Can the cost of fuel be
reduced? Can the cost of labor be
curtailed? Can the plant be run with
fewer men? If $4,000, or 100000.
or any other amount is now expend-
ed for extension or Improvements on
the plant, will 1t then cost any less
to run It? Can the city dispense
with its superintendent, its engi-
neer, its fireman or its two TRIM
mers? Will it require less fuel to
run more machinery? Will more
lights require less carbon? This is
strictly a business proposition, and
should be handled in businesslike
way. Certainly the people desire and
deserve more. better and cheaper
lights, and have done 1t for years.
But how are they to get them? They
have been told of the cost of lights
in a number of other places, all of
course much less than the mayor ad-
mits the cost has been here, but no
one has yet explained how the city
of Paducah is going to reduce the
cost.
1t is time for the public to be
shown.

IN TROUBLE
OVER SEALS
Killing of Japs Follows POach-
ing on Preserves
TO MAKE NO APOLOGY;

Law TO Be Same as
Burglars.
TO MAKE NO APOLOGY:

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The killing
OF i've japanese seal poachers on the
island Of st. Paul OF the Pribilof group,
IN Alaskan waters, by order OF Special
Agent Lempke Of the department Of
commerce and labor has brought about
the most serious international situation
produced for many years by troubles
over the seal fisheries.
The facts have been reported to the
department Of commerce and labor by
Edwin W. Sims, until lately solicitor
for the department, sent 10 Alaskan
waters some weeks ago on d special
mission connected with the seal and
salmon fisheries Mr. Sims reported
from Dutch Harbor, Alaska, where the
revenue cutter McCulloch arrived July
20 from St Paul island. having twelve
Japanese prisoners on board.
The killing or capture Of the japanese
was the outcome OF raid OF four
Japanese fishing schooners on the seal
islands. Scouts OF the North American
Commercial company which has a seal
ing contract with the government, re-
ported the presence of the raiders TO
Lempke.
At his orders japanese boat crew
surrendered, but a number Of raiders,
who were skinning seal at another
point, refused, tried 10 escape, and
were fired on by Lempke's native
guard. They had slaughtered seal In
discriminatory.
The facts have been reported TO the
state department by Acting Secretary
Murray Of the department Of commerce
and labor.
Mr. Sims has asked for another rev
enue cutter. and the Perry will be put
at his service. The department OF jus
tice Is expected TO comply with his re
quest for assistance IN prosecuting the
prisoners.
Sims was sent to the sealing waters
by the president with the distinct pur-
pose OF seeing TO II that the seal poach-
ing was broken up. and there is little
doubt this government will stand firm
regardless of the International devel-
opments.
Acting Secretary Bacon has sent to !
Ambassador Wright at Tokyo the sub
stance Of the dispatch received by the
department OF commerce and labor |
from Solicitor Sims at Sitka, Alaska.
regarding the killing Of five japanese
fishermen on st. Paul island. In send |
ny the dispatch the acting secretary
states that ii is forwarded for the pur-
pose Of giving information such as this
government has of regrettable Incl
lent news Of which may reach Japan

from an unquestlonable source that ID

TO the high price of the commodity

learned that In all probability no in.

Judge Otto Rosalsky stating that ac-
cording to the evidence presented by
the district attorney no conspiracy to
raise the price Of ice exists.
Another important point In the pre-
sentiment will DO statement to the ef-
feet that by the end OF September the
demand for Ice will exceed the supply
by $4,000 tons. Data will be- set forth
to show that at present all the Ice In
sight amounts TO $4,000 tons, and
there is no prospect OF getting any
more
Evidence has also been considered
by the grand jury to the effect that
dealers have made every effort to pur-
chase ice. Especially does this state
ment relate to the efforts Of the small
err dealers TO purchase ice az cheaper
rates out Of the city. In this, however,

the stand.
Mr.. Oler brought with hin various
of the company's books AMI records
and said afterward that be had pro

After Mr.. Oler had refused to dis

port that the American Ice company
had advertised in various papers out
side Of New York city stating that ii
had for sale large quantities of ice
stored in houses at Mount Bethel and
