LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The course Of the local stock market

5SA. An option for ninety days on one
hundred shares was offered at 90. but
the best bid for it was son.
For q quotation lot OF twenty-five
shares the bid was son and the asking
price 60. There was no trading. except
the sale of ten shares at SO. Yesterday
the bid for this stock was ssh. while
the asking price was an eighth of point
in advance of that. Sales were made.
however. on a range Of from ssh to %.
twenty-five shares. in three lots. OF

the bid for twenty shares was 13S ana
the asking price 141.

EMBARRASSING
Is REASON GIVEN BY ZELAYA
FOR HIS ATTACK
Says II Is Necessary in Movement
for Greater Central American
Republic.

Washington, June 15.-Sanguinary
war-perhaps two wars or more with
as many revolutions added for good
measures what the state depart
ment officials now expect to mark the
summer of 9'07 in Central America.
Official news of this failure reached
the state department today from one
of its representatives in Nicaragua
who forwarded an explanation of the
president of that country of his par
ticipation in the attack on Acajutla.
The exaspering feature of Presi-
dent Zelaya's message, according to
the state department, was the way in
which he sought to place upon
America and Mexico the responsible
ity for the attack upon a friendly
state by claiming it was a necessary
step in the execution of Q plan for
union of Central American republics.
AS a matter of fact. as one of the Of
ficials pointed out, certainly the Unit
ed States and probably Mexico would
welcome a combination of the little
states into one republic under some
capable executive, but it has never
for an instant been contemplated that
such union should be brought about
by force.

NO POLICE JUDGE
MAGISTRATE HAS
MOVED INTO COUNTRY.
Town Marshal Tenders His Resigna-
ton and There is No Peace
Officer.

Bardwell KY, June 15.-The mu-
nicipal government of our sister city
of Arlington is in a chaotic condition
so far as the judicial and executive
arms of said government are con-
cerned. The difficulty had its origin
in the fact that Police Judge John
McKendree is no longer a resident of
Arlington, having moved his family
to his farm, which lies without the
corporate limits of the town, and the
further fact that City Marshal Her.
man Dowdy has rendered his resig-
nation to the board of trustees, thus
leaving the municipality without a
police judge or marshal. 1t was
commended by few that perhaps Mr..
McKe ndree could continue to serve
in the capacity of judge, but a men,
Der of the board of trustees inyesti-
gated the matter and found out that
the contention failed to have the
sanction of the law.
1t is stated that under such cir
cumstances the county judge has the
appointing power when the request
is made.

BOY WHO CAUSED
WORRY TO NATION
Now Goes to Asylum For the
Feeble Minded
Louis Vivianni's Rejection by U. s
Officers Forced International
Incident.
MOTHER IN SERIOUS STATE

Eight-year-old Louis vivianni, Jr.,
who probably caused more trouble to
Uncle Sam and the Italian govern
ment than any other youngster of his
age. and who was indirectly response
BILE for his mothers nervous collapse
and subsequent attempt at suicide, is
to be taken to Lexington, KY, and
placed in an institute for the weak
minded.
The boy was born in st. Louis and
was brought to Paducah four years
ago. BY thrift and self-denial the
parents saved enough money to send
the boy to Italy for special treatment.
He is dumb and has shown few symp-
toms OF being able. to hear or care for
himself even in the smallest way At
ter a stay of several months in the
old country his mother prepared to
return, but was stopped at the docks
by officers who refused because of the
boys affection TO permit her to bring
him into the United States. Having
no means of immediate Identification
of the boy as an American born citi-
zen, her husband was appraised of
cnoditions, and Attorneys Bagby and
Martin entered into correspondence
with Washington officials, and the
Italian government nearly year af-
ter the pair was permitted to sail for
America, having proven to the salts
faction of the italian officers that the
boy was an American.
Mrs. Vivianni suffered a nervous
collapse and few weeks ago tried
to blow out her brains with a pistol.
She is nearly well of the wound, but
Is said to be little improved in ner-
vous condition. Seeing the boys help
lessness neighbors consulted with
the family and County Judge r. T.
Lightfoot and with Mrs. Vivianni's
consent. the boy was placed in the
McCracken county sanltarlum. An in
quest will be held and he will be
committed to the institute for the
feeble-minded in Lexington.

row at West Point over an order pre-

position was established a hundred
years before ] was born, you nigh
say. so you can see how humiliatinl
It Is to be thus treated"
We can readily appreciate the un
fortunate position of one whose so
cial position was inherited. We also
surmise that Mrs. Ayres inherited
some other disagreeable things be
sides her social status. She also as
serts that her son. Fairfax, has beer
