Incumbent, Tom Evitts, Dec
lares He Will Hold Office In
til His Successor is Elected
and Qualities Next Novem-
Der.
Others Hold to Position That
Vacancy Will Exist January
1 and Mayor Must Appoint
Successor to Evitts Until
Election.

Succession to the office of city
iailer, since the death of Jailer-elect
Samuel l.. Beadles without
qualifying. promises to cause litiga-
ton, unless the opinion of e. II. Pur-
year. former city solicitor, in the case
of former Councilman McCarty. is
accepted as final in the case.
City Jailer Tom Evitts contends
that he will continue in Office until
the election next November, when
successor for the unexpired term
may be elected. He bases his conten-
ton on section 31i5 of the charter.
which says that the jailer shall
hold his Office for four years or un-
til his successor Is elected and quail
ifies." He says that Mr.. Beadles, al
though elected, did not qualify. and
therefore the incumbent holds until
someone elected does qualify.
However. Mr.. Puryear had occas-
ion after the November election of
1904, to pass upon a similar ques
ton arising concerning the right of
Councilman McCarty to hold over.
his successor being elected but de-
clining to qualify. Mr.. Pdryear then
held that Mr.. McCarty's term had
expired, and the mayor should APP
point his successor. which was done.
The statutes of Kentucky and the
constitution seem TO settle the mat
ter clearly. Section 3049 of the
Kentucky statutes says: Vacancies
in Office elected by popular vote.
shall be filed by the mayor for the
remainder of the term"
Section 1921 says: "The term va
cancy in Office or any equivalent
phrase, as used in this article, means
such as exists when there is an un-
expired part of term of Office with
out a lawful incumbent therein, or
when the person elected or appoint
ed to an Office fails to qualify ac-
cording to law. 1t applies whether
the vacancy is occasioned by death,
resignation, removal from state,
county, district or otherwise"
II is the opinion of Mr.. Puryear
that Mayor elect Smith will have the
appointment to make.

County Superintendent S. j. Bill

Postponed Date of Sale For
fredericksburg Extension of

Sale Illegal. So Must Adver-
tise Again.
General Manager Blocker

ket For Franchises and Will
Only Accept as Gift With
Cash Bonus.
For sale. a franehIse.o

fOr tdlt, u IFdlfNlht,
This want lad" has been running
for the city in the newspapers for
thirty-two days now and the sale
which was TO have been held next
Monday at the city hail by Mayor
Yehser must be postponed again 20
days. Even then e IS extremely
doubtful II there will be a bidder.
The franchise for sale rs the one
for street. railway extension into
fredericksburg and the only known
bidder, the Paducah Traction COM
pany, shows no disposition TO pur-
chase. November Mayor Yeiser ex-
pected TO sell the franchise, as IL had
beoa advertised previously for 20
days that the sale would take place
then. But no purchasers showed up
and Mayor Yeiser postponed the sale
TO November is.
Now a point OF law has risen. which
questions the validity of the sale
scheduled for next Monday The or
dinonre creating the franchise pro-
vdos that before its saie-lt shall be
advertised for 20 days. and from No
vamber to November rs Is only -
days. The 20 days advertising be-
fore November 6 cannot count on the
postponed sale, so Mayor Yeiser will
have to begin again now and adyel
tise the-tnie for 20 days again which
VIII put II OF until December 6.
Manager Bleecker, Of the Paducah
Traction company. said tbs morning
that he had not been IN the market
for the franchise and would not be,
so sale OF the franchise viii not
likely take place December G. II the
people Of Mechartosburg want an ex-
tension OF the system. Il can be gotten
lske the Gregory Heights extension

company a franchise and a cash con-
sideration for the line. Mr.. Bleecker
says. would not be Immediately profit
able TO the company.
Another legal question arising Is
whether the franchise can be kept in
definitely by the cts before a sale.
Moohuncsburg citizens aro not now

must be fled away, unless some |citi-

GOLD HEApED UP
ON COUNTERS OF
PAYING TELLERS

The counters of the paying tellers
at the local banks presented a pict-
ure this morning good fo- sore eyes,
and good, too, for a host of other
ailments. chief of which is a stricken
money market.
Preparing to take care of the pay
checks of the two railroads, the Pa
ducah banks provided themselves
with more money than usual today.
Merchants sent to the cities for huge
rolls of currency, and business cir
cler are bound to benefi. by this
great stimulus. The banks are only
paying 80 per cent of the checks in
cash, the balance being paid in CASH
ier's checks. The merchants are ac-
ceptlng checks to apply on current
accounts or to apply to new pur-
chases, giving currency in exchange,
and will continue to do so as long
as their supply lasts.
1--WE had $4,000 shipped in from
the east today, paying $500 prem
ium for it," said Ben Weille, of
b. Weille & Son, today. Culley, Har-
bour, Wallerstein, and all the big
stores prepared to accommodate
their patrons, and did so at a great
expense.
Conditions are rapId1y improv-
ing" said a banker today. "and just
a I{ttIa ,,,or, ,atfopoo ond confidence
on the part of our customers, and
the situation will clear up more
quickly. The Paducah banks now
are endeavoring to provide to move
the tobacco crop, but this will not be
done for a few weeks yet.
Money that at first intlmation OF
scarcity sought those primitive
places of safety,-socks and stock
ings, is coming out. and general con-
ditions are much better than they
have been at any time in the past
three weeks.
The Illinois Central employees are
advised by the local bankers to cash
their checks by Monday, as the
means the company has provided &c
take care of them will not be avail
able after Monday.
Local merchants are praising the
Illinois Central for its efforts to re
lieve the conditions here. and at the
same time Paducah bankers are
coming in for praise for their un'
selfish labors of this week and the
past two. The man who has nc
conception Of a bankers position
cannot appreciate the position thes'
men of trust have occupied for sew
eral weeks, ai.d those who have arr
generous In their compliments and
praises.

OFFICE OF CITY JAILER MAY
BECOME BONE OF CONTENTION
ACCOUNT OF BEADLES' DEATH
May Mean War

The present financial stringency
has developed many humorous Incl
dents. and Gee Alexander, of the Pa
ducah Furniture company, tells Of an
one. A darby came into his
store this morning with a cashier
check of one of the local banks, and
wanted to make some purchases. 81
wants to spend all this here thing
he said, exhibiting the check. 81

means, boss. and | thinks there sho
going to be a wah, amt they?" Mr.
Alexander quickly explained the uses
of the check to the darkey. who made
his purchases and departed, evidently
satisfied that II would buy furniture
any way.

llshed the unusual record Of having

Lydon, and his first marriage was ON
February 5, 1883, being that of Hugh
Burrows to Kate Sweeney.
The first substantial improvement
was the erection in 1891 of a hand
some and much needed PASTORAL resi-
dence with all modern Improvements,
at a cost of $500.
In the early part of 1892, the need
of more commoddous and substan-
tial church being apparent, Father
Jansen undertook the task of raising
the necessary funds, and by the exer-
else of economy. frugality and good
business judgment. without burden
to his congregation, success was
achieved. and on May 1. 1899, the
work of tearing down the old church
YVES commenced, and the corner
stone of the new church was blessed
and laid on the 5th day of June
1899. and the beautiful new ediiicC
dedicated on Nav rs. 1900. In 1900
!, the Interior of the church was fires
coed. and a beautiful set Of stations
and several pieces of statuary in
stalled, and today, the church of 81
Francis de Sales is complete, and one
of the most beautiful and substan'
tial edifces IN tho diocese of Louis

that they Will WELD sufficient political
