MANY DOGS FREED
SOME ONE OPENED THE POUND
LAST NIGHT, III SEEMS.
Controversy rs to How the Dogs
Were To Iic Caught
Came Up.

There will be no Dog Killing
Day in Paducah this week, for the
reason that every dog taken up last
week because no tax was paid, has
been released from the city pound.
This discovery was made this morn
ing, and the members of the munich
pal boards are very greatly displeas-
ed with the affair.
License Inspector George Lehn-
hard this morning went down to the
city pond, which is located near the
Client and Elliott houseboat, where
they boil dogs and other animals for
oil secured from the bodies, and
found that the city pound had been
opened and every dog loosed There
were several wagon loads of dogs in
the pound Saturday night and Sun
day morning, but nary a dog today,
It is not known who released them.
1t was considered very small loss
until the fact that the city was pay
ing 20 cents each for the dogs was
established. City Jailer Tom Evitts. it
is said. is receiving 25 cents for each
and every dog he takes up. He is
running wagon and makes a house
to house canvass. The city license in
spector accompanies him and every
untaxed dog is taken up.
Chief Collins stated in the council
meeting that Ghent and Elliott, the
oil men. agreed to furnish gratis a
wagon and crew to take MP these
dogs if the city would turn the bodies
over to them to boil after they had
been condemned. Chief Collins claims
now that he made no such statement
and declares the council misunder-
stood him.
z It is not known exactly how many
dogs were taken up and paid for. but
il will amount to more than so and
this means something like $l2 for
dogs, and all have made their escape.
Ghent and Elliott were supposed
TO watch after the dogs and prevent
escape and now that the flair has
turned out so disastrousy the board
members seem inclined to employe a
man to do the work by contract, the
Inspector to go around with him.
This matter will probably come up
tonight at the special meeting of the
board.

MEETING SCALE COMMITTEE ON

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April 3O.--Pres-
ldent Mitchell gave out the following
statement yesterday:
81 have received. read and formal
ly acknowledged President Baer's
answer to the last demands made up
on the operators by the miners. 1t ap-
pears perfectly evident that the OPP
orators have not changed their atti-
tude in any particular during the
past six years. and that the strikes
of 1900 and 1902 were no lesson to
them.
There Is no instance on record
during the quarter of century
which the railroads have dominated
the anthracite industry, that an ad-
vance in wages has been granted to
their employees. Every concession has
been wrung from them by strikes,
and the pressure of public sentiment
"The railroad coal combination
not only fixes arbitrarily the price at
which coal is sold to consumers, but
seeks to fix arbitrarily the price at
which labor shall be bought. II
seems that every conciliatory over
ture we have made for peaceful set
tlement has been Interpreted by the
operators as a sign of weakness and
our conservatism an evidence of cow
ardice.
"The question is asked by the OPP
orators, where is the advance to
come from If it is not charged up to
the consumer of domestic coal. 1t
occurred to me that the small adj
vance proposed by the miners might
have been taken off the exorbitant
freight rates charged by them. What
the outcome will be cannot be pre-
dicted until the convention is held.
Personally, ] am much disappoint
ed, and am sure all mine employees
expected more consideration than
they have received"
President Mitchell said he had
called a meeting of the miners sub
scale committee to meet here or at
Scranton today, and the latest reply
of the operators will be submitted to
the committee. President Mitchell
would not say whether all the cores
pondence with the operators was at
an end. He will remain here until
Tuesday, when he will go to Scran-
ton to be in readiness for the conven-
tion of miners, which meets there ON
Thursday next.

Financiers Fipurlnp

AT meeting at which were pres
ent James d. Phelan, some noted
lawyers and bankers. a plan was
broached for financiering the city
which IT is hoped will meet the en-
dorsement OF the general committee.
II being estimated that the city has
suffered tho loss of $500. .0O0, 900 by
fire. II is conceded that there is not
sufficient money In San Francisco to
reconstruct the city and that the peo-
pie must book elsewhere for funds.
Part of City Devastated.
A prominent engineer, after a care
full survey, has estimated that the
area devastated by the fire is ap-
proximately 10000 acres, or about
Is square miles. There are few cities
in the world where so much valuable
property Is contained in an equal
area. Within this Is square miles
are nearly 100 banks. some OF the
finest buildings In the world. thou
sands of mercantile and manufacture
ing establishments, and more than
25O,00O inhabitants besides some
40 900 translents.
These facts convey faint idea Of
the magnitude of the losses sustained
and the vast extent of the ruin. They
also serve to sharply emphasize the
comparatively small loss of life from
all earthquakes, fire ami
shooting. The aggregate OF fatali-
ties Will probably not exceed 700. and
certainly will not reach 1000. a
striking proof of the mastery man
ner in which the civil military au-
thorities handled the situation.
Notwithstanding the enormous and
widespread destruction. the homes of
10000 people are still standing
practically uninjured There ,still
remain the great ship yards at Pot

what of a sight itself There are two
places within the city limits, one
place on the small farm of o. P.Beck
formerly owned by f. Arrows, and
another place southeast in the woods
where the earth has given away and
settled at least four feet, the ground
being cracked and torn as If by an
earthquake.
Whether the recent disturbance at
San Francisco caused the land here
TO sink or not, We do not know, but
we know that the land went down,
and that it looks a little skittish to a
fellow up a tree.
The sunken place on Mr.. Beck S
land covers about two acres, and II
Is cracked and chopped up to such
an extent that It looks dangerous to
be near. Several parties have been
out to see the place, but no one has
yet ventured an opinion as to the
cause.

There is Demand ans Need For
Plain Clothes Men.
Chief Collins Wants Them and Dis
position Il to Compromise Cut
of Police Force.
PARK COMMISSIONERS MEET

The mayor Will probably issue a
call today for a special meeting of
the general council for tonight to re-
instate the plain clothes police, and
to order immediate work done on
several cess pools around the city
which are causing a good many com
plants and threatened damage suits.
This morning Chief Collins had
reports OF eight watches stolen las.
night. and the police reported twenty
crooks from Cairo and surrounding
towns in the city, evidently to work
during the carnival.
The police are on a keen lookout
for all such characters. and were or
dered today to especially be on the
alert this week The matter was re-
ported to the mayor and some of the
members OF the council, and after a
conference it was thought advisable
to have the plain clothes men put
back on the force
Under the preseh arrangements
Chief Collins has no special men to
detail on reported theft cases. or
cases of any character which have to
be followed up. as all the men are
busy on their beats.
"Giv6 us the two special men, the
plain clothes men," he said TODAY
"and / know we can get along with
The present number on the force"
Some members of the council, af-
ter the statement above of Chief Col
Nns. deemed this a good way to com
promise the differences between the
council and administrative bodies.
Snd the probabilities are that the
men will be put back to work.
There is no doubt of an emergency
existing for the employment of the
men. The word has gone forth that
Paducah is crippled in IT'S police de
partment. and the city is over-run
with crooks and II is imperative

In connection with the drainage
CT the cess pools about the city.
there is much complaint about them,
especially the one bounded by Third
and Fourth and Clay and Harrison
streets. and damage suits are threat
ened by the people in the vicinity of
them. They are held to be the worse
sort of disease breeders. The board
of health has called attention to
them several times. and the council
has agreed that they should be
drained. but they have never given
the board of works the authority to
proceed with the work, and it Is
proposed TO do this at the Special
meeting.
The city Is suffering a good dca,
from the visitation of mosquitoes now
lnfesting the city. aud It is thought
by cleaning out and draining these
pools they viii be gotten rid of TO a
great degree.

Second Sabbath Ia Follow Disaster
Which Visited city Finds
Better Conditions.
THE TALK OF REBUILDING. ETC.

San Francisco, Cal. April 30.-
Yesterday, the second Sabbath since
the great disaster of the 18th, served
as clearing house in the affairs of
the ruined city. While the old time
quietude was missing the day wit
nessed less excitement. confusion
aud clamor OF its immediate predeces
sors and the community was enabled
to take calmer survey OF the situa-
ton and to enter into more intelli-
gent and rational preparations for
the future. AN possible work of a
municipal character was suspended
for the day and the tired officials
took advantage of the lull to secure
greatly needed rest and pay some
attention to pressing personal needs.
Mr.. Phelan's plan is to frame leg
islation to present to congress ask
ing the United tSates to endorse the
proposed bonds of San Francisco
with this guarantee of the govern
ment the city will be able to go into
the financial markets OF the world
and borrow the needed money at 2
or ~ per cent. the bonds to run for
fifty years. and constitute a mort
gage on the best portion OF the city.
Mr. Phelan asserts that Such begls-
latlon would not be new In congress.
Food Distribution.
Probably the most important de-.
velopment OF the day was the pro
mitigation by General Greeley Of a
plan for the distribution OF relief
supplies by which II is believed that
the misuse OF supplies hereafter will
be impossible. The unburned part
of the city will be divided into seven
districts in charge OF army officers.
who will assume control OF all the
relief stations now established. Re
sponsible civilians will be installed,
under salary at the sub-stations for
the purpose Of clerical work and
daily records and checks will be KEEP,
1t is declared that the period of
extreme distress has passed and that
the earliest possible issue OF rations
must be confined to helpless women
and children. Issues of luxuries or
articles OF special diet will be con-
fined to infants and invalids. Rigid
economy is enjofned upon any officer
engaged in relief work. In each of
the seven districts there will be 100
stations. The amount of food to be
allowed each person with latitude
for certain conditions is specified and
the allowance in measure is based
upon army rations.
