LINER LOST, RUMoR SAYS.
Denied That Umbria's Bridge Was De
moIished.


New York, Oct. 5.-On the arrival Of
the White Star line steamer Cedric
here yesterday a rumor was circulated
that a wireless message had been re-
ceived by the Cedric while at sea from
the Cunard liner Umbria reporting
that the Umbria had encountered a
gale, that her bridge was demolished
and that lives had been lost. The pur-
ser of the Cedric declared the rumor
was untrue, but said the Cedric had
received a message from the Umbria
at sea in which no accident was men,
toned. The Cunard steamer is due at
Liverpool to-day.

Wagon Driver Thad Terrell Wished
to Stimulate Flagging Enthu-

Yesterday morning shortly before
3 O'Clock Paducahans were awakened
by a familiar sound which recalled
old times when the fire alarms were
struck by the city hall bell. The
sound which awakened them also
brought the tired out board of alder
men, which at the time was in a
deadlock. to its feet. and every per-
son in the city hall was Immediately
astir.
The big bell IN the belfry has
struck out fire alarm. Box "16'

perfection as could machinery have
done It. The alarm was repeated, but
this time the first two strokes of the

four, making the box number "126."
Lieut. Police Tom Potter rushed
out into the hall. He saw the rope

one on the ground floor. On the sec

Patrol Driver Thad Terrell was
pulling the bell rope as fast as he
could. He said the aldermen were
about "all in" and he wanted to do
something to wake them up. =
The bell reminded residents OF old
times when It rang out the alarm. 1t
was not sufficient, however, to call out
the fire department.

Including $4,000 For New
ROwlandtOwn School
Two New Teachers Elected, Prof. C..
A. Norvell and Miss Claire
st. John.
NEW SEAT QUESTION PENDING

Paducah's public schools will need
S65,600 for the next year. of which
100000 will come from the state and
the remaining $4,000 from the city.
A 80 cent levy on S11,OOO,O0O will
raise s3S.5OO.
The estimate includes provision
for new school building to be erect
ed in the northern part of the city.
From $4,000 to $4,000 will be
used for this purpose. Some mem
bers thought perhaps they might
build this school as they did the Nc
Kinley .builling, finish only the need
cd rooms at once and let the others
remain unfinished until needed. But
it was shown that the building is
needed as soon as possible.
Trustee Beekenbach made sug-
gestion that the board do something
toward getting plans and specifica-
tons for the new school, and the
other members were of the same
mind.
Quite a surprise was given to the
board when the announcement was
made that the property in the north
ern part of the city had not been
paid for in full. The lot was pur-
chased several years ago, for $4,000.
but only $1,000 was paid. It was or
dered that the finance committee
look into the matter and report at
the next meeting.
Two new teachers were elected by
the board at the meeting last night;
Mr.. c. A .Norvell being elected as
sistant in the High school, and Miss
Claire st. Jonn elected to a position
left to the discretion of the super
intendent.
The board ordered that a partition
be erected TO divide room &c of the
High school, as there is not va
cant room in tine High school, one of
the large rooms will be divided and
thus used.
Some trd.tees thought it a good,
plan to have application blanks
printed on which may be placed the
experience. grade Of certificate and
any other qualifications an applicant
Tor a teacher may possess.
Fred Hoyer, superintendent of
buildings. reported a bad drain pipe
at the Jeff rson building and the
need Of partition in the basement
to keep the boys from annoying the
janitor while working. These we're
ordered made. A load of cinders will
be hauled and scattered on the |
grounds of the Franklin building, as
the yard is a clay and the pupils slip
on this during wet weather.
A communication was received |
from the Alumni association, asking
permission to distribute seed to the
to pant at the school and
at home.
Superintendent Lieb said as be-
tween children and flowers he pre-
ferred that children have place to
play. Mr. Beckenbach favored the
flowers. It was virtually. agreed to
follow the superintendent sugges-
ton and limit the flowers to one or
two beds.
In the matter of securing seats for
the High school, Secretary Byrd re-
ported he had written letters to the
