please their patrons than do men en-
gagged In the same kind of work. To a
certain extent this may be true; that is,
women do feel that they are still serv-
ing an apprenticeship in undertaking
work that has been the exclusive field
of men for generations. But as wom-

world began and as they are as faith
full and steadfast in this profession In
the present time as they were centuries
ago It seems safe to argue that a
similar thing may be said Of them years
hence In commenting on their success

FORGED LETTER
SHOWED BY HICKS
AS CREDENTIALS

Additional evidence of the crooked
ness of Rev. w. NJ. Hicks, who Is
wanted here for obtaining money and
goods fraudulently. was received by
Chief Collins in letter from the
president Of the Blue Mountain Baps
tist college at Blue Mountain, Miss,
stating that the claim of Hicks that
he was a member of the Blue Noun
tain Baptist convention and was for
merly a teacher at the college was
absolutely false.
The college official says he. has re-
ceived information from other places
that Hicks had exhibited letters of
recommendation from other members
of the faculty, and says that they
were forgeries.
The police have not received any
information as to Hicks whereabouts
since he left Smithland, where he is
out on bond for forgery. He is want
ed here for passing worthless checks
at Weille's clothing store and Coch-
rams shoe store.

will deliver an address there. Mr.
Burns, who has studied this territory
with reference to the railroad he Is
projecting from Efhngham, H., to
Paducah, is thoroughly interested in

the industrial progress. An effort is
being made to induce Mr.. Burns to
make this city his headquarters, espe-
eially during this period of financial
quietude. in order that his knowledge
of conditions may be directly applied
to the upbuilding of Paducah.

Competition Between Railroad
and Packet Line Causes Latter
To Ask for Own Wharf Privileges

effort will be made to secure the re-
peal of the ordinance under which
the river front is apportioned at
present, and the enactment of a new
one, giving the Paducah Wharfboat
company the same rights II now en-
joys. and not interfering with exist
ing arrangements, but giving the
Fowler lines wharfboat privileges.
Under the present ordinance,
there are S44k feet apportioned
along the river front from Kentucky
avenue to Jefferson street. The fer
ry is allowed 150 feet, then there
are sc feet of open space for public
wharfage. where boats are supposed
to reach the bank, but none of them
do, because wharfboat chains and
the narrow space precludes access
except by warping around by means
OF hawsers, nose in. North of that
are 1928 feet allotted to the Paducah
Wharfboat company, of which 200
feet are used. Then there are 355 "
feet for coal, sand and towboats.
II Is 200 feet of this last 355 Y
feet that the Fowler lines want, and
the West Kentucky Coal company.
which has put in a bid for the pro-
lection of its rights, accedes to this
plan. A view of the river this morn
ing showed a 100-foot coal barge
moored lengthwise along the bank
north OF the wharfboat, with the Joe
Fowler in the extending longitudin-
ally north from the barge. with the
coal fleet moored beyond that. The
proposed Fowler wharfboat would
not extend north of the north end of
the Fowler's position today.
That &C feet of public wharfage
between the ferry landing and the
wharfboat probably will be widened
or done away with. and 1t is likely
that in the preparation Of the pro-
posed new ordinance some consider
alton will be paid to the need of a
free public landing of steamboats,.
The chief trouble has come from
Tennessee river packets. especially
the Chattanooga, the owners OF
which have frequently gone to the
city hall In search of means to effect
way TO the bank. where they said
their consignees demand the mer
chanise should be placed.

TO CUT MILITARY
BUDGET INSTEAD
OF CIVIL BILLS
Chairman Tawney Of House
Appropriations Committee
Sees Deficit Ahead Unless
Estimates are Trimmed to
Meet Falling Off in Revenue.
CUSTOMS RECEIPTS DECREASE

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Chairmar
Tawney. of the house committee on
appropriations, which was appointed
yesterday by Speaker Cannon, effect
ed it's organization.
At the close of the committees
meeting today Chairman Tawney
dictated the following statement:
"The committee on appropriations
and congress are confronted with a
situation which will require a very
material revision of the items sub
mitted for public expenditures for
the next fiscal year ending June so,
1908, in order to keep the sppro-
priations within the possible and
elected revenue of the government.
"The estimates submitted at the
beginning of the last session of con-
gress for the new current year
totaled 1896, 96O,643.
THE, estimates for the next fiscal
year, submitted at the beginning of
this session, in the book Of estimates,
totaled 1896. 949.23S. The estimated
total revenue for the next fiscal year
is SS7S,123 oil, while the actual
revenue, including postal revenues,
received during the last fiscal year
was only sS46,725,339.
Deficit Is Apparent.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the
expenditures as estimated exceed the
revenue by s11S,S26,277. This ex-
cess does not include estimates for
the regular deficiency and miscel-
laneous appropriations, which for
the current year amount to s13,-
l147,S99. Nor does 1t include any
new appropriations for spontaneous
expenditures.
Important Increases of estimates
over the current appropriations are:
For the army, s11. 12i,251; for
the navy $26,S32,S42; for fortifica-
lions, sS1, 545,934; for pensions, s4,-
900 600. Congress in revising the
ESTIMATED expenditures will reduce
most of the budget for the military
establishment, rather than civil es-
| Inmates.
| Today's treasury statement shows
that the decrease in total govern
ment revenues for the last fifteen
days of November and the first fif-
teen days of December was s3,S7S.-
lSf0.
at shows the practical impossible
lily of congress at this session au-
thorizing new government services
or the undertaking of new projects,
appropriations for which would have
to be met out of the revenue incom-
ling for the next fiscal year"

Washington, Dec. 1S.-George w.
Austin, of New York, today filed suit
in the district supreme court against
Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou
to restrain him from making the al
lotment of the recent Panama canal
bond issue. The bill states that the
United States will lose between 500,
900 and s1,OOO.O0O If the bonds are
allotted. The bids, he contends sub
mitted by himself, for seven mil
lion of the bonds are higher than
the majority of those accepted by the
secretary, and that thereby the gov
ernment is defrauded.

TWO ROUTES WILL
Be SURVEYED FOR
LINE TO MAYFIELD
Engineers are Six Miles From
Paducah, Working on West
SIDE of Illinois Central
Tracks, and Will Return on
East Side.
GRADE OF ONLY ONE PER CENT

A. C. Harrington and his corps Of
surveyors for the Southern Electric
railroad have reached a point six
miles from Paducah on the Mayfield
road and are making rapid progress.
They started from Twenty-fifth and
Tennessee streets and went straight
out Twenty-fifth street. They were
at Champs bridge when they ceased
yesterday afternoon on account of the
weather. So far on the route they
are following the west side of the
Illinois Central tracks, and they have
encountered no grade greater than
one per cent, while the country the
route traverses is excellent.
The corps will survey this route,
a right of way for which has been
secured on private property nearly
the whole distance, and wial return
from Mayfeld, surveying route
along the east side of the Illinois
Central. While the west side has its
advantages, and terminal franchises
for it have been secured both in Pa
ducah and MayHeld, there are greater
inducements offered for a right OF
way along the east side of the rail-
road, IL is said, and the promoters
have never yet fully decided which
route is preferable
II the east side route is finally
adopted a new terminal franchise will
be needed, since It would bring the
line into Broadway from the south
side, instead of the north side, as al
present.

Cairo and Paducah and Evans
vile Boats Would Eliminate
Wharf Cost in Order to Meet
Railroad Rates.

Sharp competition between the
Cairo and Paducah packet line of the
Fowler company and the Illinois Cen
trail railroad has impelled the packet
company to AJAX for its own wharf
privilege on the river front between
Broadway and Jefferson street. The
company asks for 200 feet north of
the Paducah Wharfboat company
for the use of the Cairo and Paducah
and Evansville packets, the Dick
Fowler. the Joe Fowler and the John
S. Hopkins.
IF we secure this privilege we
have a wharfboat In view that we
shan bring here Immediately, said
Mr.. Saunders Fowler this morning.
1--WE have no idea or purpose of COM
peting with the Paducah wharfboat
company as a public wharf. This is
for the purpose Of aiding us to meet
railroad competition. In many arti-
Giles OF merchandise we find that
with the wharfage added to the
freight bill, the cost exceeds the cost
Of shipment by rail. II we have our
own wharfboat we shall eliminate
this wharfage charge and meet ev-
cry cut In railroad rates to points
we touch. This is the situation in
a nutshell.
1--WE feel that this project is for
the benefit of Paducah shippers as
much as for us. Il certainly is for
the benefit OF Paducah river COM
merce."
Must Have New Ordinance.
Mr.. Saunders Fowler appeared be-
fore the board of public works. yes
terday to ask for the privilege OF
the water front. but found that an
existing ordinance prevents the board
taking any action. The West Ken
lucky Coal company desires certain
space north OF the present wharfboat
for its fleet OF coal boats. and an
