SENATE'S RULE QUOTED
Cabinet Members Defend Right to
Send Direct Communications.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington. Dec. 13.-Members of the Cabinet
are amazed at the resentment manifested by
senator Aldrich and other Senate leaders over
the communications which for years they have
oeeh IN The habit of sending to the two houses
"l congress Instead of the practice being
new one 1T is. they maintain, one of long stand
ing
III support Of this assertion they point to Rule
VII or the Senate. which specifically provides a
ufne IN the regular order of Senate proceedings
Tor the receipt of such communications. Rule
VII which is, of course of the Senates own
creation and adoption. reads:
After the journal is read the presiding officer
Shal lay before the Senate messages from the
baeds es.oen o reports and communications from the
tions addressed TO the Senate, etc.
Attention is called to the fact that this rule
refers specifically not only to the reports of.
but TO other communications from. the heads
CT departments. within which classification the
communications to which Senators Aldrich. Hey
burn and others have taken umbrage clearly
come.
The origin of this custom of communicating
to the respective houses OF Congress is lost IN
antiquity. according to the members of the
Cabinet, of whom has been able to find
the beginning OF the practice. Just why the
Senate at this time should have suddenly awak-
ened TO realization Of the fact that Cabinet
officers were following this custom is not known.
OF course. the opposition of Senator Hepburn.
of Idaho. to everything done by the Secretary Of
the Interior is well appreciated, and it was
doubtless Secretary Garfield's advocacy of a
measure TO which Mr. Hepburn is violently op-
posed that aroused his ire. 1t is generally be-
neved that Senator Aldrich was merely misled
in the premises and that when Senator Knox.
as chairman Of the Committee Rules, in
vestigates the matter he will find that there
IL no occasion for rule or a change in
the custom.

ALDERMAN PALMER
is MAYOR TODAY

Paducah has Republican mayor
today, and the knowing city officials
will try to get accustomed to 1t, as
the wise acres predict we shall have
a Republican mayor for four years
beginning with the first of the year.
President of the Board of Alder
men Earl Palmer, is the mayor, by
virtue of Mayor Yelser's absence, and
the duties of the Office will sit easily
on his shoulders as he is one of the
best posted men on city affairs in
Paducah. Mayor Yeiser left his
books and Aapers with License In
spector George Lenhard, and Mr.. Pal
mer will pay daily visit to headquar-
tiers to attend to any duties that may
arise. When asked today how he
liked serving under Republican
chief, Chief Collins said: 20, Mr.. Pal
mer is all right. He will make fine
mayor; the only objection / could
possibly find to him is his politics.

Miss Anastasia Smith, teacher
of the fourth grade at Mckinley

sition is being filed by Miss Helene
McBroom until regular teacher can
be elected. Miss Smith will go to
Columbia, Ca, where she has much
better offer.
Tomorrow football practice will
begin, and the High school boys will
work hard to get into trim for the
initial game with the Culley team.
Yesterday the Culleys practice again
near Wallace park, and are working
hard to perfect team work.
An attempt is being made to have
builders of the Tenth and Broadway
skating rink, to reserve portion OF

ton would be little expense, and
would provide a place where girls
might indulge in this sport. No bas-
ket ball team will be organized in
the High school until place for
practice and games is secured.

FATHER JANSEN HURT
WHILE D0DGING CAR
Switch Failed TO Work and
Car Took Opposite
Direction.

In escaping from a "crazy" car
at Sixth and Broadway last night
at $3.50 O'Clock, Father II. w. Jan
sen, of st. Frances de Sales church,
was painfully but fortunately not
seriously injured. He fell on the bit
ulithie street, and injured the back
of his head.
Father Jansen was crossing the
street Just as car No. of the depot
line, in charge of Motorman Bagby
and Conductor Lovelace, was round
ing the curve. The front trucks took
the curve, but the switch jumped
back and the rear trucks started
north on Sixth street, an opposite di-
rection from the route of the front
trucks.
Father Jansen saw the car
coming his way and jump
ed. He fell and struck OF
his back. His head came in contact
with the hard street with considera-
BILE force, and many bystanders ran
TO his assistance. DR.. II. Z. Hearne
was summoned and the injuries pro-
nounced not serious. A wound was
inflicted in the scalp in the back of
his head. This morning Father Jan
sen is feeling better, but suffering
from general soreness.

WILL ISSUE WARRANTS
FOR CORPORATIONS
Where Word incorporated
Does Not Appear on Ad.
vertising Matter.

Have you got the word lneorporat-
ed under your sign. II you are an in
|corporated concern?
II you have not. you are, probably,
in for a 500 fine.
Under the law Of the state all
corporations have to display the fact
that they are such on all signs and
stationery. and The Sun has repeat
eddy called its readers attention to
It. However. it seems there are a
number of people who have not
needed the warning and a rude awak-
ening from their slumbers is coming
to them.
Today a former city official is TAX
ing down the names of all corpora
lions who have been negligent in the
matter, and no doubt they will be
hauled into court and touched to the
extent of 500, which seems to be
the popular assessment for such lapse
of memory. The former official was
seen in consultation with one of the
county officials today, and the ubiqui-
tous "little bird" tipped it off to a
Sun representative that they had a
list of the local corporations which
are violating the law and that pros
ecutions will follow.
A few months ago the corpora
tons of Louisville, Lexington and
several other Kentucky towns paid
for their negligence and it seems to
| be Paducah's turn now.
