The managers of the Republican

BAKER HAS SNAKES
TO ADD TO QUEER
zoo COLLECTION

In William (BilD Baker, Paducah
boasts of the most unique animal fan
cier in the state. If not in the coun-
try. Baker has been before the pub
lie many times because Of his many
unusual acquisitions. The latest is a
snake. Baker now has a box of
snakes. He did not know just why
he bought them. but supposes he did
1t because they went with the "other
truck" he bought.
During the fall races a snake show
exhibited at the fair grounds under a
tent. The proprietor did not do well,
and had to sell the tent. He carried
the snakes in grip to a nearby town
and made enough money exhibiting
them in show windows as advertise
ments to get back to Paducah, where
he sold them to Baker. They are now
on his farm on the Hinkleville road.
A few of Bakers unique posses
sions are: Eight snakes, one per-
forming Shetland pony, which drinks
at the bar; five trained goats, two OF
them being tree climbers; four edu-
Gated roosters; an educated monkey;
a trick mule and two performing
dogs.
Baker gained notoriety once as a
mushroom raiser. but tried to graft
toad stools to his mushrooms as expert
ment and ruined his mushroom bed.
He also started a crawfish pond, and
won distinction in crawfish breeding.

WILL PAVE FIRST
STREET AND LAY
EAST SIDEWALK

After a lively session in the coun-
ell chamber this morning the joint
street committee stood pat on its
former recommendation for the i'm
provement of First street bewteen
Broadway and Washington street and
an ordinance will be introduced TO
provide for the paving of the street
the full width and the laying of side
walks on the east side. The street
was paved on the west side and curb
ing laid along the tracks of the ILL
nois Central. Property owners, par
ticularly the Southern Peanut COM
pany, on the east side, complained
that they could not get over tn,
tracks with loaded wagons. At the
meeting this morning A. II. Egan and
Mr.. j. T. Donovan represented the
Illinois Central. b. II. Scott, Mr..
Langstaff, Mr.. Muscoe Burnett, of the
water company, and other interested
parties were present, with attorneys
for both sides. All parties agreed to
bear their share of the expense.

AFFAIRS ARE IN A TURMOIL

One OF the most amusing political
squabbles In the strange history of
local politics is about to be started la
the Democratic camp over the choice
OF salvage. They have given up hope
of electing the entire ticket, and Har-
rison's chances of election are grow
ing less daily, but they do hope to
save something. and what to save is
the question over which they are
quarreling.
Perhaps, IL the local politicians had
their way entirely there wouldn't be
much trouble, but the interference OF
the state machine, which sent Glen
Whittemore. of Mayfield and Frank
fort. here to manage things, has COM
plicated the situation and handicap
ped those leaders," who usually ma
nipulate party affairs to suit thei,
own ends.
In the first place, Whittemore's
main duty is to pull Eugene Graves
out of the mire. That is one reason
why speakers from a distance are
being sent over the county. Then,
too, in order to Insure the certainty
that the state campaign funds are
being spent on Eugene, 1t is consid-
cred wise at Frankfort to let their
own man, Whittemore, handle the
money here. Local politicians have
swallowed their pride in strangling
gulps several times since Glen butted
in; but this is getting to be too much
for them.
Then, too. they have other fish TO
fry. If they can't elect the whole
ticket, they have their choice of
whom to save. and the choice Of that
little coterie that makes politics serve
its business ends, considers A. L. Har-
per, candidate for city attorney, more
important to them than the candidate
for the legislature, and they proposed
to concentrate their efforts on Mr..
Harper.
Mr.. Whittemore went to Louisville
yesterday to report to headquarters
on conditions in McCracken county,
and it is understood that some real,
live native Paducahan will follow him
to Louisville and report, so as to be
sure that everything is reported.

Fish on Board of Directors
Would Like to Go to New
York, But Can Not Get Away
PROXIES ARE NOT FINISHED

Chicago, Oct. Monday night
Is fixed by L. H. Hartman as tn,
probable time for the completion OF
the examination and verifcation OF
proxies that will be allowed to vote
In the Illinois Central election.
Chicago, Oct. l9--The meeting OF
the stockholders OF the Illinois Cen
trail railroad was again postponed un-
IA $3.50 Saturday afternoon. No ac-
ton OF any kind was taken. The de-
lay was caused by the inability of the
committee on proxies to present Its
report.
when the stockholders met yester-
day the committee had only reached
the letter III" and at that had con-
sldered merely domestic proxies. None
OF those received from abroad had
been touched. The delay became irk-
some to Hartman who said today
that II was necessary for him 20 be In
New York on Monday but he did not
see how he could leave Chicago be-
fore the conclusion Of the stockhold-
ers meeting.
II was officially ann 1unced by
President Harahan that John j.
Mitchell. president OF the Illinois
Trust and Savings bank OF this city
will be Harrimans candidate for the
directorship now held by Fish. Both
to confer with Mitchell who is a per-
sonal friend OF both the men. They
were at the bank at the same time
but they did not meet.
The delay on reaching vote on
directors has caused many OF the
small stockholders to abandon the
meeting. Not over fifty were present
at the meeting and the large number
OF those who attended the opening
session have already left for their
homes.

Whole Board Resigns.

New York, Oct. 19.-As condi-
ton precedent to assisting the Mer-
camille National bank, of which Fred,
erick Augustus Heinze was president
until yesterday, the New York clear

tire board of directors. The demand

The announcement that the resig-
nation of the directorate of the Mer-
camille National bank had been de-
manded followed a conference be-
TWEEN members OF the clearing house
committee and Comptroller of the
Currency William B. Ridgely.
In no direction that he might look
could f. Augustus Heinze see any
signals of sympathy or aid in Wall
street. He has been a merciless
fighter all his life, and he is in a land
without mercy. He has been caught,
as many others have been caught,
his loans have been called and his
stock has been hammered; but he has
this advantageous resources are
great and he can stand hard chastise-
ment
One nice little jolt given him was a
formal notice that he must get out OF
the Mercantile National bank in the
Interest of the bank.
