Calls were made last night by the
McCracken County Republican com
mttee for two conventions The first
will be mass convention March . at
1880 O'Clock at the court house In
this city for the purpose of electlng
"a delegates 10. the First district con-

Twenty-eight precincts were repre-

WILL JOIN STATE
AUTO ASSOCIATION

Formation of State Automobile
association will be completed in Lou
isville next week, and the Paducah
Automobile association has received
a request from the Louisville automo-
bile owners to send delegates to the
organization next week. Mr.. Dan
Fitzpatrick is president of the Padu-
cab association, and he will call a
meeting one day next week to decide
what action may be taken.
The number and influence of the
automObilists in Kentucky have been
growing rapidly in the last few years
and under the leadership of state
association the automobilists are able
to cope with various problems which
have arisen. Organization of the
state association will crystalize the
movement in Kentucky, and Will have
good results in the way of enabling
them to meet adverse legislation and
similar questions.
At the meeting of organization II Is
thought that the delegates will in
dorse the national bill for the regis
tration of automobiles, and a delegate
will be selected to the national asso-
citation. As far as could be ascer-
tanned local Automobiles are in favor
of joining the state association.

Substitute Police Measure Will Go
Through House With New Saloon
License Bill, Says Mr.. Campbell.

service. The accused may demand a
trial within five days, thus prevent
ing his indefinite suspension. Wit
nesses may be summoned, and pun
ished for contempt, parties may en-
ploy attorneys, and the case may be
carried TO the circuit court on a writ
of supersedeas and from there to the
court of appeals, thus making it GER
tain that man may not be dis
charged upon bogus accusations, and,
1t is believed, removing the police
from politics.
Mr.. Campbell said that there was
so much opposition to school board
changes that it was deemed advisable
not to attempt anything, especially
since the night riders, the county unit
bill and the legislative contests have
complicated affairs to such an extent
that almost any bill, that is opposed,
will fail.
When the committee on rules takes
charge OF affairs next Thursday some
meritorious measures may be called
out of reluctant committee hands and
rushed through at the last moment.
The legislature will adjourn March
II.

BOMB is THROWN
AT. SHAFTS AUTO
BUT He is UNHURY

Teheran, Feb. 2S.--A bomb was
thrown at the shah's automobile to-
day as the ruler rode through the
streets. Three of his outriders were
killed, and many wounded. The shah
escaped. II is uncertain yet who per-
petrated the outrage.
But for the fact that the shah had
sent a closed automobile ahead of his
his own carriage, there is little doubt
he would have been killed. Tive
bombs dropped from the roof of the
building and destroyed the automo-
bile. The shah following in another
was driven hastily to the palace as
soon as the bomb exploded. Besides
the three killed, 81 persons were in
jured.

Police Bill Provides for Civil
Service Regulations and Re-
moves Minimum Number of
Men.

| City Solicitor James Campbell, Jr.,
returned this morning from Frank
| fort satisfied that the two amendments
to the second class city charter, in
which Paducah Is especially inter-
ested. will be passed II nothing else
II this session of the legislature. He
was fortunate In steering them
through the senate just before the
county unit bill got into that house.
Mr. Campbell said Representative
Klair. OF Lexington. chairman of the
house committee on municipalities. to
which the bill removing the maxi
mum and minimum restrictions on
the police force and increasing the
maximum and minimum saloon IL
cense 10 $500, were referred today,
promised the bills would be reported
Monday and made a special order for
the eariest'posslble day. Mr.. Klah
will push them as his own measures
in the house.
The saloon license bill does moth
ing except Increase the maximum H.
cense. leaving It optional with the
general council to fix the license at
any price from 500 to $500.
The Police Biii.
The police force bill. as passed by
the senate and referred to the house
committee. fires the maximum force
for second class cities at rs and the
minimum at 20; but In the house
substitute measure will be passed and
sent to the senate for concurrence.
repeating the law, making 30 the
minimum force and leaving the size
OF the force optional with the general
council OF each city. while placing
such restrictions on the action of the
mayor and board OF police and fire
commissioners as TO prevent the arbi-
trary dismissal OF men for political
reasons.
The bill says the board Of police
and fire commissioners shall tx the
regulations for the force, providing a
physical examination. but that mem
bers OF the present force, after the
number has been decided on, shall no,
be compelled to undergo a physical
examination. A man mag be removed
at all times for physical incapacity to
perform his duty in the manner pro-
yided by the law.
Men can only be removed upon
charges, and not for taking part In
