Vote Being POlled Rapidly All
Over City and Little Trouble
Is Manifested Between The
Workers.
Metropolis is Excited Over
Local Option Contest in That
City and Women Are Active
in the Fight.

Repressed excitement marked the
battle of the ballots in Paducah today
and both sides went into the fight
with determination and confidence.
The democratic party In Paducah
never before met such an organiza-
ton, and never before felt so much
the disintegrating effects of internal
weakness.
Voters were out early. There is
little trouble except on the south side
where an effort was made early in
the day to delay voting, especially
in the coiored precincts. The trouble
there did not amount to anything. ex-
|cept between the workers for the two
parties, who confined their endeavors
TO circumventing the schemes OF the
opponents.
At Berry's early this morning.
there was a little difficulty, which
was greatly exaggerated on the
streets. Charles Gridley showed his
ballot, and, according to law. Rod
ney Davis, Republican sheriff. re-
fused to allow the ballot to be count
ed.
Gus Singleton took a hand and as
saulted Mr.. Davis. The latter drew
back and said: "If you touch me
again you are a dead man"
At last accounts Col Singleton was
stilf alive and Mr.. Davis person in

Have you got one Of the cashiers
checks being issued by the local
banks? They were plentiful yester-
day and served their purpose nicely.
Some of the banks expected to have
a little trouble in explaining their
use to some of their depositors, but
at the close OF business every banker
said he had had no trouble at all in
explaining the matter: that the peo-
pie were so well informed on present
conditions that they perfectly under
stood the function of the certificates
and gladly accepted them. Most peo-
pie thought they were joke on the
banks. But few OF the certificates
were used, however. as the banks
took in more currency than they paid
out during the day. Every merchant

INSURANCE MEN
FIND CHIEF WOOD
Is ALL PREPARED
Work, Re-rating Paducah for
Fire Insurance is Started
With Test of Department
Wa ter Co. Next to Receive
Attention.

Preliminary steps towards re-rat.
ing Paducah are on. The informa.
ton was thrust suddenly upon tbs
public" but It did not catch fire de.
partment chief James Wood, nap
ping. He was equal to the emer.
gency, and acquitted himself with
credit. While the work OF re-rating
has just begun. and probably will last
for many weeks, interest is aroused
and tomorrow the water tests will be
made.
This morning Messrs. j. ID. Pol
lock, Of Louisville, member of the
state board of fire underwriters, ac-
|eompanied by Mr.. York Townsend, of
Chicago, member OF the National
Board of Fire Underwriters, appeared
at No. 1, which is conceded not equal
to the equipment at other stations,
taking all into consideration, was sat
isfactory.
"Well, you seem to have a well
equipped fire department" declared
Mr.. Townsend. but how about your
system OF alarms!
Chief Wood went to the private
telephone system and rang once. He
placed the receiver 10 his ear.
Nothing doing, boys. l was just
demonstrating, he said over this
Telephone. but the No. 4 company
would not have 1t that way. The fire.
man answering the phone had al
ready tapped in, and the horses scat
tered voters and election officers at
No. station.
Chief Wood had received such a
quick response from all three stations
simultaneously that it surprised the
visitors.
The gentlemen tomorrow morning
will make test of the water pres
sure. All such actions are merely
preliminary and the re-rating of the
town depends on the condition Of
buildings, the accumulation of debris
and the wiring.
As to wiring. It is said that Padu-
cab is rapidly taking her place with
the best wired cities in the country.
By those who are in authority ii is
stated that a better wired town can
not be found, and the rate doubtless
will be lowered many points.
Mr.. William j. Gilsdorf, state cleo
trical inspector, will not be able to-
come here for several weeks. but will
meet Messrs. Townsend and Pollock
and complete the work of re-rating.
In the work Mr.. C. C. Rose. insurance
commissioner for the district, will
also assist.
Re-raters desire to catch the prop
erty holder mapping" and are wary
of talking for publication. In answer
70 how long they will be in Paducah,
Mr.. Townsend answered, "Well, i'll
depends on how crooked the town IS. !"
Messrs. Pollock and Townsend have
just returned from Jackson, Tenn,
where they declare one of the worst
fire departments they have ever seen
in a city of Jackson's size is main
tanned.
Paducah's fire loss in 1905 was
$4,000. Last year, after the Install
alton of two new fire stations. the
loss dwindled to 100000. Better
wiring is largely responsible.
