The fact of perfect entente be

move. Did not perfect understand

C. the line of the western coast OF
North America, Great Britain will
be prepared to cope with any imme-

The opinion prevails that any dis

no aggressive move on the part o.
Germany or any other European pow

MOBILE TO CHICAGO
BY WAY OF PADUC
Is the Reported Plan Of the c. { E.
Or Frisco Railroad.

The news of the probability of a
rev railroad for Paducah is always
interesting reading, whether there is
truth in the announcement or not.
and the following from the Nashville
Banner, if true, probably means a
good deal to Paducah. If the FRS
co can get into Nashville, and does
so via the Mobile, Jackson and Kan
sas City road, it would have an en-
trance into Paducah by way of tae
~, c. & st. L., and getting this fan
from the south it would only require
the building of a road from Padu-
cab to Joppa, the terminus of the c.
and e. l., branch of the Frisco, to
give the Frisco a new road from Chi
cago to Mobile by way of Paducah.
What that would mean to Paducah
can be easily seen, and 1t Is a propo-
sition that every Paducahan would
like to see a reality. The best in
formed men in the city on such af-
fairs say it is only a question of time
until we have new road into Padu-
cab from the north The Frisco, the
Wabash, the Big Four, or some 9th
er. as the Importance of Paducah as
shipping point has been brought
to the attention of the heads of these
roads in the past year in a very forci-
be manner

THE COW ORDINANCE
Will BE Advanced On the Docket il
Possible.

City Attorney Thomas b. Harrison
said today that he would make a mo-
ton before the court of appeals to
have the city's COW law ordinance ad-
vanced on the docket and heard this
spring. The case is docketed for the
End of March, but there is SO much
business before the court that unless
the case is advanced it would proba-
bly, be two years before this case is
reached.

Conformation has been recei
in Nashville which seems to strengt
en- the idea that the Frisco system
is seeking an entrance into this ter.'
ritory. The Banner published a re-
port several days ago to the effect
that the Frisco might be a purchaser
of the Mobile, Jackson G. Kansas
City railroad. This line runs from
Mobile, Ala, to Middleton, Harde-
man county, Tennessee. 1t is known
to be a fact that the Mobile, Jackson
& Kansas City has secured the neces-
sary rights-of-way and made plans
for extending that road from Mid
dieton to Jackson, Tenn. If, as re-
ported, the Frisco does buy the NJ.
J. & X. c. railroad, then the former
system will. within the next twelve
months, carry out the extension plans
already made by the last named road.
effect an entrance into Jackson.
When this is done, II would be
comparatively easy matter to build
direct line to Nashville, or acquire
by lease or purchase the existing rail-
way between Nashville and Jackson.
Should the Frisco build, buy or
lease into Nashville. then this city
would have another direct line to
southern ports and be the terminus
Of a great system of railways which
now penetrates the western states"

OVERTON EXPRESSES OPINION
ON RACING In TENNESSEE

growing and generally improved scale"
Mr.. Overton has been prominently
identified with the turf and breeding
interests of Tennessee since his early
youth and is Of family which has
done much for the production Of thor
oughbreds in a section of country
where the finest horses I'm America are
bred
Mr.. Overton owns a beautiful stock
farm on the Franklin pike, about FIVE
miles out of Nashville.
THE spring meeting at Cumberland
park" he said, was the first we had
since the law was declared unconsti-
tutional by the supreme court. and its
increased success over many previous
meetings proved how popular the de-
cison of the court was.
However, I look for the same inter-
ests which introduced the adverse
measure to get busy again, but I am
sure that their attempts to ruin the
business will be unproductive.
you see, the business men, the solid
commercial interests of Tennessee, are
now thoroughly awake to the fact that
the breeding business is one of the
largest and most important sources of
revenue in the state, and that to legis-
late against racing would be to deal
singing blow to that industry.
There is no section of country In the
world more ideally provided by ma
ture for the breeding of thoroughbred
horses than the blue grass region, that
is, middle Tennessee, and to destroy the
business would be a criminal act"

Upton WOULD
CHALLENGE
ASKS CHANGE OF RULES IN
RACE
The Challenger Must Under the Rule

Boat With the ChaI-
lenge
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Aug. A cable dis
patch to the Times from London says:
Sir Thomas Upton, whose anxiety to
challenge for the Americas cup is well
known, has made the suggestion to a
number of yachtsmen on this side of
the Atlantic. that. in case he sees his
way clear to a formal challenge, he
would like to secure a concession from
the New York Yacht club allowing
him to build two yachts. sail one
against the other and send the best
boat against the defender.
He firmly believes he is justified in
seeking this concession. The defend
ing side as is well known, has the
privilege of trying out its boats, but
the challenger must under the rule OF
"deed of gift name the boat with the
challenge,
Yachtsmen here who have discussed
this matter informally seem to agree
with Sir Thomas that his desire to
obtain such a concession is perfectly
fair.
While no formal statement has been
made by Sir Thomas Upton that he
has any legitimate hope of success in
this direction, the inference that he
has sounded certain Of the New York
club officials and is not without rea-
sQnable expectations that the question
may be raised at the proper time with
satisfaction to both sides.

NON-PARTISANS LOOK
FOR ELIGIBLE MAN
NO CANDIDATE CAN SPEND A
CENT FOR CAMPAIGNING
Suggestions Are Sought by the Exeeu-
tive Committee With Regard to Fit
Persons--No Moneys From Public
Utility Corporations Acceptable

Members Of the executive committee
of the Non-Partisan city central COM
mittee held a meeting Friday night and
began the task of trying to select .
man to head their city ticket. Several
names were under discussion, but no
decision with regard to any Of them
has yet been reached. Another meet
ing will be held in a few days, for the
purpose Of further considering this
subject.
AS soon as the executive committee
decides upon a candidate for mayor
a meeting Of the full committee Will
be called for the purpose Of acting on
the nomination.
1t will require a two-thirds vote of
the city central committee to ratify
any nomination made by the executive
committee.
After man has been selected for
the head Of the ticket. candidates for
the council from the several wards OF
Los Angeles will be taken up.
Meantime the executive committee Is
anxious to obtain suggestions from
persons who are interested In the nom
partisan movement with regard TO
candidates for the various city offices.
This is especially true so far as mem
DerS OF the council are concerned. ne
members would like to know the wishes
of the people of the various wards on
this subject, and also want to hear
from persons who are willing to en-
roll themselves as volunteers in the
effort to elect a non-partisan ticket
next December.
Members Of the committee say that
all expenses of the campaign will be
paid by members of the organization,
and that under no circumstances Will
candidate for any office be asked or
permitted to contribute to the cam
paign fund.
The funds for this purpose will be
raised by subscription from those in
terested in the movement. and fur
thermore, the constitution provides
that no money shall be received from
any public utility corporation.
The idea is TO put absolutely clean
and unpledged candidates before the
people.
Candidates will be assured that there
will be no assessments Of any kind
and that, so far as the committee is
able to bring it about. 1t will be case
of the Office seeking the man.
Professional job hunters will receive
no consideration whatever.
