While at Washington l visited Presi-
Dent Roosevelt and inquired into the ques-

posed to take over the Galapagos islands,
paying Ecuador $500 in gold for them,
thus recognizing Ecuadors sovereignty
over the islands. Mr.. Roosevelt replied
that he would recommend the proposal to

A COUNTY SCHOOL
TRUSTEE RESIGNS
j. M. Morrison Succeeded in Is
District by j. 2. Mcqueen.
Made by County Super
intendcnt Billington-County
Examinations Still On.
TEN ARE AFTER DIPLOMAS

Mr.. j. NJ. Morrison, of the New
Hope section, school trustee in the
sixteenth district, this morning ten
dered his resignation to County
School Superintendent Ellington.
His term would have been out in
June, and he was busy with other
matters. He had been serving in
the absence of regular elected trus-
tee, to fill his place on request of
Former Superintendent Ragsdale.
Mr.. Morrison suggested the name Of
MIR. j. p. Mcqueen and this morning
Mr.. Mcqueen was appointed to the
vacancy.
Mr.. Mcqueen formerly worked in
Paducah and is a young man of ex-
cellent qualifications for the position,
having been a tutor in the county
schools and very successful at this
vocation.
The examination for county school
graduation diplomas are still pro-
crossing at the court house here and
at Palestine school.
The two original applicants here
in Paducah are still at work and no
new applicants have shown up either
here or at Palestine. Those stand
ing the examinations at Palestine
school are: Misses Pearl Carneal,
Grace Hughes, of Grahamville; Liz
zie Anderson, Woodville; Messrs.
Claude Boyd, Josiah Carneal, Gra-
hamville; Sam Grassland, Gilbert
Fuller and Roy Vance, Maxon's Mills.
Today ends the examinations and
by Monday the result of the tests will
be known, 1t is expected. The total
number of applicants this year is
ten, slight increase over the usual
number.
The county schools have had bet
ter and more regular attendance this
winter than the records show for
several years, and it is mostly due to
the extreme mild winter.

News of Mutiny Confirmed.

st. Petersburg. Jan. 27.-That
there has been a renewal of the
mutiny at vladivostok was confirmed
by a dispatch from that city filed
Thursday and received here late last
night.
This dispatch indicates that the
mutiny, which began last Monday,
has not been subdued and that the
situation was far more serious than
during the outbreak in November
as the mutineers include both sailors
and artillerists who are in possession
of the Holy Innocence" battery and
are well armed with rifles and ma
chine guns as well as having heavy
fortress guns.
General Mistchenko, who has been
sent TO deal with the mutineers, the
dispatch adds. has no easy task. as
the Cossacks given him are ill-suited
for capturing the fortified positions.

CITY CAN GET STREET
LIGHTS FOR $62 EACH
Under Contract With Private Company
Much Interest in the Proposition.

pert. | don't mean any reflection
on the present management of the
plant, but II would be imperative
that better management be given 1t.
However, what Is best for the city /
favor, whether II is a contract with
the street car company or an i'm
provement of the city plant and Sc
curing the services Of an expert man.
81 don't believe though. under the
second class city charter, that we can
make a contract for ten years as the
charter says that no apportionment
or contract can be made for longer
han a year"
City Solicitor James Campbell,
however. is Of the opinion that such
contracts can be made
'sThe proposition of the street car
company is better than the city is
doing with its plant" said President
of the Board of Public Works L. p.
Noble to Sun representative today.
1T cost the city sos a light to run
the plant last year. but this did not
take into consideration any interest
on the city's investment in the plant
nor allow cent for depreciation. The
city plant cost s25, 900 when II was
erected. and the interest on this is
81 500 a year; the depreciation
should be figured at 10 per cent
which would be an additional s2,5O0
the two items. together amounting
to $4,000 When this is added to
the expenses OF operation as it GER
talnly shouIh be. the cost to the city
last year was about 500 light, and
the cost last year was less than any
other year.
81 believe the private concern can
light the city cheaper than we can.
II will require $4,000 to put our
plant in condition to take care of the
lights we shall want in the next ten
years-300.
81 think the street car company
proposition should be investigated
closely. and the city's interest. of
course, safeguarded."

Thus Far.
WAITING FOR INFORMATION.

Cairo, ILL.,. Jan. 27.-The identifi-
cation of the body lof the unknown
young woman found in the river
here day before yesterday has not
been fully made, but the body is be-
lieved to be that of Mrs. Rosa Man
grum, wife of a Nashville, Tenn,
barber who disappeared a month
ago.
She left Nashville for ST. Louis,
taking with her money and valua-
bles worth $4,000, and nothing has
been heard of her since She was
supposed to have met with foul
play.
The description of her given in
st. Louis papers at the time of her
disappearance tallNes exactly with
that of the woman found here.
A telegram has also been received
from Chief of Police Henry Curran
of Nashville, who thinks he can iden-
tify the body of the woman as that

MANY WARRANTS
FOLLOW DECISION
Mayfield Officers Arrive with
1876 to Serve Here.
Paducah Companies Charged With
Violating Local Option Law
There.
ONLY TOOK ORDERS FOR BOOZE

Marshal Charles McNutt and City
Attorney NJ. b. Holifield, of Mayfeld.
Graves county, arrived in Paducah
at noon today and placed in the
hands of the sheriff to be served 1856
warrants against tthe George II.
Goodman company and the Bieder-
man Grocery and Bakery company
for alleged violation of the local op-
ton law by taking orders through
agents for liquor to be delivered at
Mayfield. 1t is understoon that there
are 112 warrants against the Good
man company and 73 against the
other one, and Deputy Sheriffs Hume
ogilvie and Gus Rogers are this af-
ternoon serving the papers.
1t is not believed here that the
cases will amount to anything.
Wholesale houses have been taking
orders in local option towns for
many years, and 1t is understood that
the higher courts have sustained the
legality of it.
The other day a warrant was
taken out against the travelling sales
man for a local wholesale house at
Mayfield, and Judge Bunk Gardner,
of the police court, decided that the
local option law had been violated,
opinions of higher courts to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, and assessed
fine of $50. The warrants being
served today followed, and are sim
ply on orders that travelling sales
men for the companies named, have
taken in Mayfield. The companies
have for years done the same thing
without molestation, and without
any intention of violating the law.
1t is understood hard fight will
be made in the cases, and the ques-
tion will doubtless be taken to the
appellate court.
Some of the warrants served today
are returnable Tuesday.

A conference of the joint light
committee OF the general council.
and Mayor Yelser. representing the
city. and Manager Bleecker and 9th
er officials of the street car company.
was held yesterday afternoon. as an
nounced In the Sun, to consider a
proposition from the street car COM
pany to light the streets and the city
buildings.
to furnish 200 arc lights for a period
of ten years for $62 a light. The
lights are to be lighted every night,
or 4.00O-hour service a year. an
average OF ten and nine-tenths hours
a night The price will be gradual
ed. and when 800 lights are In use
the price is to be 500 a hight.
The company proposes to take the
city plant. oil up. paint and keep In
good condition the machinery. but
close the plant down. However. IL
will use the city's poles and wires,
and make all the extensions neces-
sary. all the improvements the sys-
TEN would require in every particu-
lar. mke down all OF the present OBJ

latest pattern lights. and at the end
OF the contract all these improve

city therefore to be at no expense
for the maintenance OF the overhead
work, but at the end of the contract
IL would be getting property worth
good deal more than II is at pres
ent, says the street car company.
81 think the council should call in
an expert and have him go over the
proposition from the street car COM
pany and also look into the city's
plant and its probable improvements
with view to recommending just
what proposition would be better for
the CITY," said Mayor Yeiser.
Personally. I think the plant can
be run at an expense Of $50 light
but to do this will require putting
