Popular Appointment to Gen.

Change of Col. Jack Flynn Necessi
tates Many Promotions of Men
Wen Known Here.
COL. T. E. HILL is TO GO UP

Mr.. Joe Walker, general foreman
of the Nashville division of the I'LL
nois Central. has been promoted to
the position of general foreman OF
the Paducah shops, and assumed
charge this morning on his arrival
from Princeton at $3.50 O'Clock. The
announcement was made by Master
Mechanic r.. E. Fulmer this morning,
and is satisfactory to employees,
Walker being extremely popular.
The position has been vacant since
the promotion of Master Mechanic r.
E. Fulmer to his present position.
Mr.. Walker learned his trade and
grew up here In the shops He rosO
from machinist to gang foreman,
and then round house foreman. When
the Tennessee Central was taken in
by the Illinois Central. increasing
the mechanical work at Princeton,
and necessitating a large force of
workmen with general foreman,
Walker was given the position with
supervision of all motive power be-
tween Nashville and Evansville,
headquarters at Princeton. He Will
remove his family at once to Padu-
cab.
At Princeton Mr.. Walkers posi-
tion will be filled by Mr.. E. H. Nc
Cam, who has been round house
foreman at Princeton. Mr.. Mccain
worked here for some time, and is
well known. There has been no ap-
pointment to Mr.. McCann's present
position.

who turned out to be 'Dago GENTLE
a notorious crook. supposed to have
been wanted by the Louisville police,
"Dago" escaped" from the city
hospital when he recovered.
Ballot boxes in many precincts
were taken from the polls and the
voting carried on in the rear of sa-
looms, to which places Democratic
voters were directed, while the Flu
sionists continued to wait at the reg
ular voting places. When a receiver
for the election paraphernalia was
appointed and the boxes were gather
ed in from their hiding places, the
indications Of fraud we're so appar-
ent as to be ridiculous in some In
stances.
In one precinct in the Twelfth
ward, presided over by Frank Drew
ry, brother to the renowned Senator
Tommie Drewry. the poll books
showed that every man In the pre-
cinct had voted, 90 Of them, in al
phabetical order Even the party or
gans could not countenance the dis
closures and the politicians were
compelled to depend on a bold front
to sustain their position.
When the Jefferson county courts
decided that. though there was fraud
in some precincts, the election must
stand, good citizens inspired by the
Louisville Post, which inaugurated
and promoted the Fusion movement,
raised $4,000 to prosecute the
election case through the court of
appeals, and lawyers whose services
were almost donated, carried the
case up and finally won.
The result is not limited to the
notification OF the 'Nigger Ryans."
"Dago Gentiles," Rabbit Burkes"
and the other thieves of Louisville
that can not run politics in that city,
but it is a victory for purity of the
ballot everywhere. and 1t rests now
with the governor to appoint men
to the city Offices, who will hold the
police in check next fall and give all
a chance to be heard through
the ballot.
The court OF appeals has made
two decisions recently that put Ken
lucky on a higher moral plane than
that occupied by some other states:
the warning the state machine re-
ceived to restrain the instinct for po-
litical Gerrymander, and the harsh
rebuke to the Louisville machine to|
stop the alliance between the police
and criminals. Those newspapers and
those lawyers and citizens. who gavel
their space and time, brains and
money to the cause Of election puri-
6cation deserve high places in the
court of good citizenship.

Many other Changes.

June list will bring many changes
on southern lines of the Illinois Cen
trail as predicted over a month in
The Sun. Officials lowered about
the "south end" for several weeks,
conf gnin punches, and finally II

ployes were considering other posi-
tons. Chief among them was Col

was announced yesterday. Today
came the announcement of the res

ations and makes such a sweeping
decision. as did the court of appeals
of Kentucky yesterday in the Louis
vile election cases, regardless of the
effect of the ruling. In the Louisville
case we are confronted, not with
graft, but with the plug ugly, the
''hooligan", the policeman thug. and
the repeater in popular registrations
and elections. Fraud and forgery In
making out returns of the registra-
tion and election served more to fas-
ten the guilt on the party, than to
aid in accomplishing ioe wrongful
end
There is little graft in Louisville,
or. to state 1t more accurately, the
graft in Louisville is little; but the
corruption of the ballot Is disgrace
full. surprising possibly the condi-
ton in any other city in the union.
Some few years ago Louisville po-
licemen we're in the federal court
charged with intimidation in. a fed
eral election, and they escaped, be-
cause the prosecution could not prove
their motive beyond a reasonable
doubt At the municipal election in
1905, when a mayor, county Judge,
sheriff, jailer, and a number Of other
important officers we're chosen, the
machine in its desperation set about
to steal the Democratic primary, and
policemen were stationed at all con-
tested precincts, ready to assault
and drive out workers for State Sen
ator Laban Phelps, candidate for
the mayonalty nomination. At the
last moment the senator withdrew.

registration clerks took the books
home and copied names into them
in ink different In color from that
used at the registration booth. Re-
spectacle citizens went to the polls
and found some one had already vot-
ed in their names.
On election day the most dis
graceful proceedings were recorded.
Thieves and toughs from the red
light district. acting as officers OF

the streets some Of Louisville's most
highly respected citizens, who had
volunteered to work for the Fusion
ticket against the city machine, and
policemen. waiting outside. arrested
these citizens on serious charges.
Casual passersby, stopping to in-

arrested by the drunken policemen
on the charge Of interfering with Of
ficers. The condition became so bad
that some of the policemen were call

ragged Republican sheriff defended

District Attorney Jerome, of New
York, is undertaking an investigation
in the misuse and abuse of the de-
tective department of the metropolis,
that should have great moral ef-
feet. OF late years it has been the
custom of the idle rich of the coun-
try when they wish to get rid of
their domestic relations, to employ
detectives to scour the country in
search of evidence on which to
ground suit for divorce. Naturally
the turning of a detective depart
ment in to scandal bureau has op-
ened new avenue of graft and in
cited some officers to earn their re-
ward with doctored evidence, on the
one hand, or to levy blackmail, on
the other The effect of such a prac-
tice is debilitating to public NOR
ais. The nasty disclosures and hints
given out in the foreshadowed re-
ports of these detectives is nauseat-
ing. 1t would be gratifying If the
guilty detectives and the persons
who employ them could all be pun
ished.

lack OF traffic on the Mississippi riv-
er. Evidently they formed their judg.
ment of river conditions by looking
at pictures of the Thames river along
the London water front II they wish
to know about the traffic on the riv-
er they should study the govern
ment engineers reports. Traffic is
computable, and the tons enrolled in
a years report indicate more of the
true conditions, as far as business is
concerned, than can be learned by a
lot of men floating down the bosom
