Next Governor of Kentucky

Augustus T.. Wilson. the governor
elect OF Kentucky, has been promin
ent in Republican politics in Ken
lucky since 1884 when he became a
candidate for the state senatorship
against Albert S. Willis in the dis
trict between Fifth and Shelby
streets. He was at that time the
law partner of Gen. John Harlan,
now OF the United States supreme
bench. lie was the nominee of his
party for congress in 1856, in 1883
and 1892, and served as a delegate
to the Republican national conven-
ton In 1855, 1892 and 1896.
During the A. p. A. agitation In
1895 Mr.. Wilson fell out of line with
his party through his defense of the
rights of Catholic voters, and had
taken no personally active part in
politics until his nomination last
July. with the exception OF making
contests for the same honor in 1908,
when Morris Belknap was nominated
for the office.
The first public service OF Mr.. VIII
son was when, as chief clerk of the
treasury department for nearly two
years he assisted in smashing the
whisky ring" which endeavored to
evade the payment of internal reve-
nue. taxes. This was Immediately af-
ter he had been admitted to partner
ship with General Harlan in 1874,
and when he was rs years old. Be
fore this he had studied law for four
years with the firm of Lathrop'
Bishop & Lincoln, in Boston, Mass
and with the firm of Harlan & New
man in Louisville after his gradua-
ton from Harvard University in
1859.
Mr.. Wilson was born at Mays
Vile, Ky, October 10, 1916, of New
England Baptist parents. who emf
grated overland to Pittsburg. Pa,
and thence to Kentucky in 1915. In
The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1907-11-09

1852 the family removed to Coylng-
ton and thence to New Albany, Ind.
After his fathers death the family
went with his oldest brother, For
sythe Wilson. one of the most favor
ably known of the early minor poets,
to Cambridge, Mass, where Mr.. Will
son remained until 1870 when he re
turned to make his home in Louis
Vile He was married IN 1877 to
Miss Mary Ekin. daughter OF Gen.
James A. Ekin, of the quartermas-
ter's department of the United states
army, and one child was born to
them, who died in infancy.
While Mrs. Wilson had been de-
cidedly opposed to her husbands re-
entrance into politics and tried to
persuade him not to work for his
nomination. She Is much interested
in the charitable institutions of the
state and will undoubtedly use her
influence for the betterment of con-
ditions in this direction.

The Paducah Traction company to-

service, affecting the Broadway, Guth

Monday morning the pres
ent ten minute schedule will be con-
tinued to Fountain avenue and JEFF
ferson street. and the 20 minute

Gregory Heights car will be run only
on Sundays, in fair weather, and the
Guthrie avenue car will be continued
as at present, with the exception that
there will be no conductor on, the car,
the motermen handling the transfers.
eve are making these reductions
said Manage Blocker today, Sim
ply because present conditions make
1t imperative. The Gregory Heights
line is not paying, as you can sur
mise and the Broadway service,
from Fountain avenue and Jefferson
street to the park is not self-sustain-
ing. so we feel We are justified In
making the reduction in time. The
street car business is feeling the pres
ent depression, like all other lines OF
business. and We must meet it. We
are reducing our forces everywhere
we can. and in few days shall make
reductions in our conductor service
We feel that conditions will be much
improved BY next spring. and the re-
auctions now being made will be only
temporary As soon as business just
ifes we shall restore the present
service"

STORM DID THE STREETS
ABOUT $4,000 DAMAGE

The damage to streets by Saturday
nights storm exceeds anything of the
kind that has occurred here in several
years. 1t was only in the Fifth dis
trict that there was any security as
the Fourth came in for most of the
trouble.
According to Supervisor johnson
much damage occurred at Niu. In
that section two or three miles of road
that have not had attention recently
are in very bad shape and in places
almost impossible. Waialae road, from
the sewer to the Kaimuki road, was
practically uninjured. It stood the
storm very well Out in the Manoa
districts the damage. was considerable.
Manoa was washed out. Where the
streets had been oiled in the Punahou
section the damage was at the mini
mum. Much stone and loose rock was
washed down from mauka and gave
the cross streets bad appearance.
The retaining wall at Kewalo ditch
was washed away, also the bridge so
sthat Mr.. Coombs goes to and from home
through his neighbours yard. The re-
tanning wall was built about five years
ago and this damage will necessitate
an expenditure of about five hundred
dollars. The house of Manuel Cook,
in this vicinity, was inundated and
the grounds washed away. On the
town side of Punahou all of the
streets suffered more or less, but Ka
piolani street more than the Others.
Large boulders were washed down from

time. Haekfeld and Victoria streets
were damaged considerably and the
hume back of Lunalilo Home gave
way. This was 10x30 feet. The bot
tom gave way and Makiki Fire sta
ton was flooded so that some of the
bedding for the horses was washed
across the street and lodged at Lish-
mans fence.
The Nuuanu stream retaining wall,
near kukui street collapsed, the water
at one time going over the bridge.
Allen Lake, is now a stream of run
ming water. The concrete breakwater,
thirty feet long and four feet wide
was not strong enough to keep back
the water. Men We're kept at work
Saturday night but the wall broke
where it was least expected and their
efforts were fruitless. Jack screws are
IN use now to hold the affair together
and prevent more breaks at this time.

age at $4,000 and only portion of
the money for the repairs is availa-
BILE What they have will be used and
the balance of the work will be done
at the rate of two thousand dollars

for roads Is ten thousand dollars a

is provided there is little left for work
