SECOND WARRANT
FOR W. M. MITCHELL
Mayor Yeiser Protests When
He is Dismissed for Sunday
Selling in the Police Court
This Morning
WILL PLEAD HIS ACQUITTAL.

by the eternal l won't stand
for this" vehemently declared Mayor
Yeiser this morning, when w. NJ.
Mitchell, saloonkeeper at 1000 North
Tenth street, was dismissed in po-
lice court on the charge of Sunday
selling.
The outburst from the mayor
brought the statement from City At
torney Thomas Harrison, that he
would attend to the case, and Mr.
Harrison swore out another warrant
charging selling and delivering"
The case hinged on the testimony
of the defendant and Lottie Jacobs,
who keeps house three doors from
the saloon. that Lottie purchased the
beer Saturday night and paid for it,
and that as she had no ice, Mitchell
graciously kept 1t until she wanted IL.
The original charge was preferred
by Patrolmen Rogers and Hill, who
saw Mitchell carry a basket from
his saloon to Lottie Jacobs house
Sunday night. They entered the
house and satisfied themselves that
the basket contained beer.
On the statement of the principal
witnesses Judge Gross dismissed the
defendant.
The patrolmen threatened to take
the case before the grand jury and
Mayor Yeiser said he would employ
a lawyer to prosecute the case If
necessary.
1t is understood plea of acquit-
tai will be entered.

JUST A LITTLE PREMATURE.

Activity among local Democrats in
fixing up a slate to be elected by the
general council next December, seems
to ignore the fact that, whether or
not the general council is Democratic
in December depends on the outcome
of the general election In November.
The present Democratic majority is
one. Councilman Eugene futile, of
the Fifth ward, was appointed to fill
vacancy until a successor could be
elected, and the same applies in the
case of Alderman F. B. Smith. Their
successors, elected in November will
assume their seats Immediately. in
stead of in January. Should the Re
publicans be successful, they will
have a majority of one on joint ball
lot.

State Inspector Has Been En-
gagged Here
Board of Pharmacy Summons Num-
Der of Them to Appear in Room
at Palmer House.
AFTER ALL KINDS OF ABUSES.

Investigation of Paducah drug
gists by the state board of pharmacy
has been going on for three weeks,
and the state board has been in ses-
sion at the Palmer House throughout
today questioning the druggists. C.
L. Delhi, of Louisville; j. w. Gayle,
of Frankfort, and Edward Bloom
field. of Louisville, are the members
of the state board holding the local
investigation.
The investigation follows work
done here three weeks ago by one of
the boards inspectors. Quietly he
went among the local druggists in
vestigating their methods particular
ly of handling and selling poisons
and narcotics. He reported to the
board and the investigation was an
nounced to the druggists today by
the members of the board, telephon-
ing them to appear before them in
room IL at the Palmer House.
Not only will whatever charges
this. inspector may have preferred,
be threshed out, but the employment
of unregistered clerks and other
abuses of the drug stores are being
Investigated with view to instruct
ing the druggists how to comply
with the laws
One druggist, speaking of the ses-
sion of the state board here. said
that many druggists may have been
charged with breaking the regulation
by the Inspector His method was
to enter drug store and try to pur-
chase drug It is against the law to
sell without a prescription. If the
drug was sold to him, he would re-
turn later to see whether the drug
gist had kept an account of the sale
on HIS registry book.
He Investigated to see whether
unregistered clerks were employed
to fill prescriptions. and generally
looked for any abuses of the state
regulations. Some of the most prom
inent druggists were before the state
board this morning and this after
noon the investigation is being re-
sumed. Some of the druggists are
invited merely to give Information
and to receive instructions on new
regulations.
DR.. J w. Gayle. of the board, said
this afternoon:
Worse conditions than some that
exist in Paducah cannot be imagined.
Conditions here are worse by far
than in any other city in the state.
We find that the two drugs most
specifically regulated are sold indis-
criminately and actually in some
cases by mere boys. No attempt at
keeping track of the purchaser, label
ling or physicians prescriptions can
be found in some stores. Cocaine
and abortives are the drugs I refer
red to and the former is the only
one on the abuse of which a license
can be revoked.
No prosecutions will follow this
meeting except possibly In the case
of cocaine selling. but in this we
mean to offer no compromise. We
have warned the druggists repeated
ly here and this is the last warming
Future irregularities will be dealt
with summarily. Mr.. Bloomfield. who
investigated the conditions here
found 25 out of the 32 stores hand
ling drugs irregularly. They are ap-
pearing before us today and we Will
close the investigation tomorrow
morning. we will leave at 1925
o'clock for HcpkinsvIle to finish
our west Kentucky trip"

BANKS ARE STAPLE.
Plenty of Money in Florence But Pre-

Florence, Nov. 2.-(Special .)-The financial furry struck Florence this morning in q mild form when the local banks entered into an agreement to pay only SEQ a week in currency to any one subscriber and only 10 per cent. of deposits to depostors of $200 and under. The Florence banks have plenty of money and the announcement caused not the least concern among their depositors, 1t being thoroughly understood that the measure was mere ly one of precaution.
 For several days there has been no money here to move the cotton crop but owing to the unsettled price the buyers have had no inclination to buy ana fine farmers have offered very little cotton for sale. Florence has three strong banks and there is another at Rogersville in the southern end of the county, and the business interests of the town and county will be well pro- tected in any contingency. the local bankers having had foresight to pre- pare themselves for just such a situ- ation as now confronts them. g
