PICTORIAL PHASES OF THE rHAw MURDER rR1A
Paducah Southern Railway Company
is Name Of Line Projected From St.
Louis to Hickman Through This City

Following the information receiv-
ed recently from Hickman, KY, that
Paducan and eastern financlers were
there in the interest of new inter-
urban railway from Paducah to
Hickman, investigation locally indi-
Gates that the reports were founded
in truth. 1t is probable that articles
Of Incorporation for a railroad COM
pany will be filed here and that work
on the now road will begin immedi-
ately. II Is also said that the line
from Paducan to Hickman will be
but a link in a grand trunk line
starting from st. Louis, crossing the
river at Brookport or Metropolis and
going through Paducah. by Mayfield
and Union City to Hickman. From
there the line will be extended south.

The company will not be capitalized
in large amount but the bonded
Indebtedness of the company will be
large enough to permit the building
of the railroad. It will be standard
gage and capable Of being operated
either as an electric or steam rail-
way. 1t will haul freight and passen-
gers. Local business men are inter-
ested in the project and It is proba-
BILE that the president of the road
will be a Paducah man. 1t is expect
ed that the line from St. Louis to
Paducah will be In operation within
a year or little longer The name of
the road will be the Paducah South
ern Railroad company.
The capital stock will be $50, 900
with the privilege Of mourning an In
of $4,000, 900.

FORGETS MONEY
In HIS POCKETS
And George Harvey is Out
Sum of S107.5O
Turns Clothes Over to Messenger for
Pressing Club and Cash in
His Trousers.
NO ONE ADMITS FINDING 1T

When George Harvey, an Illinois
Central railroad freight train con-
ductor. residing near Eleventh
street on Broadway, sent his street
clothes to the parlors of a local
pressing club, he did not realize he
was sending $1O75O in them, and
as a result the detectives and Chief
OF Police James Collins are working
diligently with the sweating" pro-
cess to disclose the whereabouts of
the missing money.
Harvey was called suddenly to
take out" a run. He was in his
street clothes, and forgetting about
his money, $50 being in cash, $3.50
in a money order and his railroad
identification card also, he turned
the hastily made up bundle over to a
negro messenger boy who delivers
for the pressing club.
When Harvey remembered leaving
his cash in his street clothes he tele-
phoned the pressing club No money
had been found As soon as possible
he made a personal investigation,
with the same result. Yesterday he
appealed to the police and the negro
messenger was "sweated" but with
no success. Others are undergoing
the process today. and the police are
confident they will secure the money.

DEADLOCK MAY BE

If Executive Hand is Removed
From Affairs of Aldermanic
Board. Alderman Hannah
is Quite Ill
ALL REPUBLICANS TO ATTEND.

If the executive hand Is removed
from the aldermanic body, 1t is con-
fidently asserted, the deadlock in the
upper board of the general council,
which has been preventing the cleo
ton of a president and the transac-
ton of city business, will be broken.
Otherwise, the indications are that
the deadlock will continue indefinite
ly. Tomorrow is payday for the po-
lice and firemen, but unless a presi-
dent is elected tonight the men will
have to get along as best they may,
until such a time as the head of the
departments which controls them, re-
leases the pressure.
Alderman e. d. Hannah, Demo
cratic candidate for president, is i'll
and unable to attend the meeting to-
night, according to information from
his home today. 1t was stated with
some show of authority yesterday
that the Democratic aldermen viii
stay away tonight and prevent a
quorum. The Republican members
say today that they will be on hand
to perform whatever duties come be-
fore the board. and the duties are
multiplying.

HARTMAN SEES
DAWN Of A NEW
PROSPERITY ERA
Says Country Is Too Big to
Allow Long Drawn
Depression
CONFIDENCE RETURNS
Public Faith in the Great
Financiers Is Being
Restored
FEW ROTTEN SPOTS
Most Are Sound and No
Further Panic Need
Be Feared
FEW ROTTEN SPOTS.

NEW YORK. Dec. 4.-That the
country is already beginning to re-
cover from the severe shock received
in the recent panic is the opinion of
E. H. Hartman, as expressed in an
interview published here today
I'VE are in the rebound from the
depression from which we have
jumped to stay" Hartman said.
There will be no falling, back. Each
step that we are taking is firm. I'm
derneath the whole situation there IS
industrial stability. There is too much
work to be done and too great a ca
pacity for doing it to allow long
drawn out depression. There are indica-
tions everywhere that confidence is be-
ing. restored.
THE country is too big and the peo-
pie too sensible to allow the acts of a
few men TO shake their faith in the in
tegrity of our great fnanciers and busi-
nessmen as a whole. Naturally. there
was little scare at first, but when the
people saw that there were rotten
spots only here and there they quickly
recovered from their fright.
THE dawn of a new era of prosperity
is here. The overstrain on each is be-
ing relieved. and credit is once more
being allowed to perform its normal
work. But ve must not expect at once
to see every line of commercial busi-
ness as active as it has been during
the last two years.
Perhaps it is better for the country
that it should not be so. We have a
presidential campaign in front of us
It is only natural that we should feel
our way cautiously for some time.
When I say cautiously, however, ] do
not mean hestitatingly, but rather con-
servatively"
