FIREMAN NEARLY
DROWNED in DEEP
PIT LAST NIGHT

While going through the yards to
the Illinois Central round house early
this morning, Fireman Henry Peter,
who was to go out on an early train,
lost his way in the darkness and
walked into the deep cinder pit,
which was filled with water as a re-
suit of the heavy rains last night.
Luckily the night force of the round
house was preparing to go off duty
and hearing him laundering around
in the water went to Mr.. Peters as
slstance and he was rescued without
any serious consequences. though he
lost his gloves, hat, overcoat and UNI
brella, which he let go in his efforts
to save himself.
Mr.. Peter returned to his home
at $50 Elizabeth street for a change
OF dry clothing and left at Q o'clock
on an extra freight train, another
fireman having been secured for his
regular run between Paducah ana
Princeton.

United States
Construction and Utilization
Company Explaining Plans
to City Fathers Today.

Plans for a reducing plant for the
city, in which to covert garbage into
fertilizer and soap fats, We're ex-
planned this morning to Mayor Yeisel.
Mayor-elect James P. Smith and a
number of councilmen and aldermen,
by NJ. F. VanBuskirk, president OF
the United States Construction and
Utilization company, of Rochester. n.
Y, and the engineer, F. G. Wiselogel.
The concern proposes to erect a
concrete building fully equipped on
the single unit plan and turn it over
to the city under a guaranty for $780,
900, not including the cost of the
ground; or to erect the plant and
operate it themselves, charging the
city $500 the year for disposing Of
garbage delivered at the plant.
The plant has capacity of 10000
tons a day, If run only in the day
time. The fertilizer brings an aver
age Of $14 ton, and the soap fat
commands a ready market. Hides of
dead animals also are sold from the
plant.
They claim for the plant that it is
absolutely sanitary, emits no foul
odors and can be operated at a profit.
At present Paducah's dry garbage is
thrown into the river, and a great
deal of trouble from back water and
eddies, containing the refuse, is ex-
perieneed.
The demonstrators of the concern
say that incinerating plants, such as
Louisville discarded, emit bad odors
and are not satisfactory This plant
was successfully operated at Jackson
Vile, Fla, and one of the same type
is now in use at Vincennes, Ind.
Those present at the meeting this
morning besides the mayor and the
mayor-elect, were: Aldermen Miller,
Stewart, Chamblin and Hank. and
Aldermen-elect Sheriff. and Oehl-
schlaeger and Councilmen Wilson
and VanMeter, and Councllmen-elect

FUNSTON FINDS
CONDITION WORSE
THAN HE EXPECTED
Delegation of Women Call on
Him and Say They Have
Lived iu Terror Until Arri-
val Of Troops at GOldfield-
Martial Law.
WANT VIGILANCE COMMITTEE

Goldneld, New, Dec. 14.--After
having conferred with many citizens
of Goldheld General Funston stated
that he is finding conditions here
worse than he had anticipated.
"The possibility of further trouble
growing out of the difficulties beT
tween the mine owners and the
miners he said care greater than
my information previous to coming
to Goldheld had led me TO believe
have just telegraphed a second re-
port to Washington. which is based
on the information 1 have gathered
today l do not believe the governor
will declare martial law at once as
no serious disturbances have occur
red. / am satisfied with this, and
shall not advise such action until it
is absolutely necessary. As to pat
rolling the vicinity Of the mines and
the streets of the city with regulars,
that is procedure that may become
necessary any hour"
Neither Funston nor Governor
Sparks viii yield to the pressure
brought to induce them to favor the
withdrawal OF the troops before the
arrival of the labor commission from
Washington.
Tomorrow a delegation of women
composed OF members of the Wom-
ems club of Goldfeld, will call on
Funston and lay before him their
side Of the question, which will be
that previous to the coming of the
troops they lived in constant terror
Of believing that their homes might
be destroyed and their lives endan-
gered by deeds of violence and dep
relations of desperate strikers. They
will ask that the troops be kept
there until all danger of trouble is
past.
Today there is a well authenticat-
ed rumor that a citizens committee
has been formed, ostensibiy to act
as volunteer fire and police depart
ment in the residence district. but
which will be more in the nature of
a vigilance committee of the early
California days. Funston stated EN-
phatically when questioned, that the
troops here would endeavor to pro-
tect the Western Federation men if
any attempt was made to deport
them, just as they would protect men
who might be set upon by strikers.
The troops will try to prevent out
