POLICE Question lin.

The board of police and fire COM
missioners meets tonight and II Is
understood the matter of increasing
the police force will be considered.

of the mayor or the commissioners.
Today all the second class city char
ter ans ndments become effective.
and the section. fixing the minimum
of the police force at 80, becomes the
law. However. there are several tan
giles in the situation. The apportion-

Kentucky Farmers State Institute to
Paducah in 1907 a committee from
McCracken county institute and the
Commercial club. composed of Saun-
ders Fowler, w. l.. Bower, w. +.

city In the state. Frankfort by lack
of accommodation this year is out of
the race. and Owensboro, another as
pirant. is in bad grace with the farm
ers on account of the state fair fiasco.
The state institute is. perhaps, the
best meeting in the state, and will do
much for whatever city secures 1t, il
the entertainment offered the visitors
Is of the usual Paducah quality. Thu
best speakers on agricultural topics
in the United States attend these in
stitutes.

lis Not Qualified.
Senate Committee Does Not Find
Him Personally Guilty OF Such
Practice.
SALARIES OF POST OFFICES

Washington. June 1.-THE senate
committee investigating the case OF
Senator Smoot, OF Utah, reported to
the senate today. The report says in
the judgment OF the committee Sena-
tor Smoot Is no more entitled to a
seat in the senate than he would be II
he were associatlng In polygamous CO.
habltation with a plurality OF wives.
This action is taken by the majority
OF the committee not because Smoot
Is living in polygamy. but because he
is one of the leaders OF the Mormon
church, which has encouraged polyg-
amy.
The minority report says: The I'M
derslgned are OF the opinion that there
are no just grounds for expelling
Smoot or finding him disqualified for
holding the seat he occupies because
he. in common with all the people Of
his state. has not made war but ac-
qulesced in conditions for which he
has no original responsibility"
When the reports were presented
Senator Burrows announced that as
soon as conditions permitted he
would call up the resolution declar-
ing Smoot not entitled toe his seat.
Foraker, who signed the minority re-
port. Joined in the declaration OF
Bailey, that while concurring with
the majority he held that Smoot
must be removed by resolution OF
expulsion.
