land with only 43 cents capital, Jer-
dina Stone. negro girl. IL years old,

RETAIL TRADE is
FEELING SPRING
Prices Up Again After Depres
sion of Weeks /.
Bank Clearings Show Gain of More
Than 100000 Over Same Day
Last Year.
GLASS PLANT PROGRESSING.

After a depression in all lines last
week from the inclement weather,
business this week has responded
well to the favorable conditions. Re-
tail trade again has taken on the
|spring volume and the wholesale
trade is better. The wholesale houses
selling principally in the small towns
to stores that supply the farms, feel
the effect of bad Weather first and
heaviest, as rain on the farm means
complete cessation OF work and large
ly therefore of consumption. The far
mer doesn't get to town to take the
goods off the dealers shelves and the
travelling man has poor week. The
clearings this week show an increase
that indicates the conditions. Tobac-
co still is playing an important part
In business.
Work on the glass plant is pro-
crossing rapidly. and It will probably
be ready for operation the first of
July.

that the new British budget carries
the same tariff on tobacco that OBJ

Resignation of PatroIman AL
bert Senser DisclOses Bitter
ness of Struggle Before The
Democratic Primary
THE SITUATION is INTERESTING.

AS remarked by The Sun a few
days ago the fight for the Democrat
ic mayoralty nomination centers
around police headquarters and the
storm broke yesterday, when PATROL
man Albert Senser, for four years
one OF the best policemen on the
force, threw up his job. and declared
he was tired of persecution for poll
tics sake.
Senser is for Tom Harrison for
mayor and for Joe Purchase for city
jailer and he has no hesItancy in
saying so.
The board OF police and fire COM
missioners are for Reed for mayor
and divided on the question of city
jailer. Thereby hangs tale.
AS told by Senser, he was riding
on street car when member of
the board of police and fire commits
sioners approached him and asked
about the state of his politics. He
told the commissioner plainly.
you may have all the fun you
want now" commented the commits
sioner grimly. But we'll get you be-
fore we are through with you"
Senser's resignation came like a
bomb shell to headquarters yester-
day. He was closeted for long while
with Chief Collins after the missive
was handed in
81 am for Harrison. said Senser,
land the commissioners were get
lting ready to discharge me. have
been humiliated all desire. was
taken off the day watch and put on
at midnight | am one OF the oldest
men on the force in point of SER
vice, and that is the reward for long
and faithful service
Mayor Not Party.
Mayor Yeiser and Senser are
friends and the resignation cut the
mayor deeply. 1t is said when they
met, Mayor Yelser assured Senser
that he would not be discharged for
anything less than breach of duty,
and it is probable that the mayor
would have seen to It, for more than
once he has displayed his independ-
ence of the "city nall' influence no
tably in the appointment of e. H.
Puryear as police Judge to succeed
the late Judge Sanders. His action
almost precipitated a serious faction
al fight as the police crowd were for
Dave Cross 20 man.
More trouble is looked for in the
police force and the Democratic pri-
mary will find at least half the force
In jeopardy; for 1t is believed the
commissioners are demanding obedl-
ence in the matter Of voting at the
lefty primary. and Harrison claims II
lof the policemen.
In the FIRE department three resig.
nations have been accepted in the
Hast two weeks.

REAL ESTATE MARKET.
More Active Now Than in Recent
Years-Building

Paducah's real estate market is
probably more active than it has ever
been - the history of the city. All
agents report great demands for
property, which, OF course. means
good prices. One of the most prom
inent of the real estate agents today
said that he has far more inquiries
for property than he has property.
and that has been the condition with
him all spring. Values. too. are
high, Increases in some localities
being as much as 20 per cent. The
building trades are active. and there
are more substantial improvements
and construction under way than in
any previous year for some time.
