Standard Oil Blaze in Heart of
Paducah Last Evening.
Only Good Work of Firemen and For
tunate Breeze Prevents Serious
ConflagratiOn.
SOME INCIDENTS OF AFFAIR

Sparks from a passing locomotive
of the Illinois Central are supposed
to have set fire to the lubricating
house of the Standard Oil company,
Tenth and Monroe streets, yesterday
Afternoon at 4:45 O'Clock. The loss
of the building probably will amount
to $500. and the loss will be about
|S3, 900 on the barrels of lubricating
oil that were charred, but the COM
pany carries its own insurance. One
Riley" a registered bulldog, was
burned also.
The lubricatlng room was a one
story structure with a tin roof and
was in an 81" shape, part of it ex-
tending along the railroad tracks. In
the room were about 100 barrels of
oil, but by the fine work of the fire
department only the barrels were
charred. Mr.. j. w. Tyler passed near
the building five minutes before the
blaze was discovered, and he did not
see any fire. When discovered the
blaze was in all parts of the building
and a telephone message was given
the fire department. Companies Nos.
/. and A answered the alarm and
began work of checking the fire. a
lteamster as soon as the fire was dis
covered released two horses and the
dog and drove them from the burn
ing stable. but the animals would re-
turn. He grabbed one horse and kept
him from returning. Luckily all the
horses but two were in use at the
time.
Saved the Office.
The Office of the company is in a
brick building on Monroe street, but
the firemen cut off the blaze in this
direction and held it in the oil room
The safe in the Office was locked. and
all the books and records of the com
lpany were ready to be removed from
the Office If it became necessary. II
the yard were five large tanks con
tanning many thousand gallons o
coal oil and gasoline. AS soon as thu
fire was discovered Manager Tylel
had the safety valves opened and thu
danger was eliminated.
Around the oil company are man.
buildings. and had the fire gotten ;
better start the loss would have beer
heavy. The Fooks-Acree Lumbe

sparks were flying. The Anheuser-
Busch brewing company agency is
across the alley, and the Paducah
Brewing company S across the corner.
The wind came from the west and
blew the flames towards the railroad
tracks. where there was no chance OF
it spreading.
Firemen DO Good Work.
Nothing but unstinted praise was
given the firemen and Chief Wood
for their handling Of the fire. Man
ager Tyler said he had seen many oil
fires, but the blaze was handled the
best he had ever seen one. Chief
Wood modestly said that the blaze
was nothing but play toy for his
flremen, but said the firemen did
good work in preventing a spread of
the flames,
This morning Mr.. Tyler said it was
almost impossible to give an accu-
rate estimate of the loss. The oil Is
leaking from the barrels today, and a
majority of IL will be lost at a loss
of about $4,000. The building can
be rebuilt for $500, but he said the
company would probably put up an
improved building. Instructions have
been received from Louisville TO con-
tinue with the business, and the man,
ager will come here as soon as pos
sible to look over the situation
Riley" the fine dog of Mr.. Tyler,
was burned and he regrets the loss
of his pet He was valued at several
hundred dollars. The bay horse that
was burned was valued at $500.
Some Incidents.
While the No. A. company was
answering the alarm an unknown
woman was in buggy at Ninth
street and Broadway. Frightened by
1.-THE gong. the horse began backing,
and she jumped out clasping her
baby at the same time. As she was
between the wheels the horse began
backing and had the buggy in the
middle of the street when men went
to her assistance. Driver John Nc
Fadden, of the truck, made a swerve
to the side Of the street and did not
hit the buggy or turn over the truck.
Ernest Richardson, colored boy,
was delivering shoes for the Cochran
Shoe company and In order TO see the
fire well, he placed three pairs OF
shoes on the ground and was gazing
at the firemen when some slick thief
picked up the shoes and skipped out.
Richardson reported the theft to Pa
trolman Dick Wood. but no one saw
the thief that got the shoes.
Four streams of water were thrown
on the fire, the No. company laying
two Ines and the Central company
and the No 4 company laying one
each. The fire was out in a half
hour.

prerne Court, who acted a referee in the matter
Of the application.
The petition for Justice Deuels removal followed
the attacks upon Town Topics and it's editor.
Colonel William y. Mann. The Justice it al
legged, engaged in the business of publishing the
magazine with Colonel Mann. in violation Of the
law prohibiting members of the judiciary from
engaging in any business during their term of Of
fee. The charges were based upon testimony given
by Justice Deuel. during action against Town
Topics" It was charged that in Town Topics
there was published repeatedly scurrilous and
libelous matter which the respondent knew Of It
was also charged that the respondent looked over
criminal action. The publication known as "Fads
and Fancies' with which, it was alleged, the JUS
tice was connected, was elaborate book cor
tanning biographies Of wealthy and women
and it said that the publishers coerced by
threats certain wealthy persons into subscribing.
Justice Ingraham said he thought persistent
violation of the statute prohibiting judicial officers
from engaging in any other business would be a
sufficient cause for removal but Justice Deuel. was
only vice-presdent of the corporation and charged
with no specific duties in relation to 1T
Justice Deuel. was a longtime personal friend Of
Colonel Mann and acted trustee for his daugh-

Ex-Congressman Says He Would Not Oppose
Governor Hughes.

Ex-Congressman William H. Douglas. president
of the Produce Exchange and head of the firm Of
Arkeu & Douglas. said yesterday that he was sur
prfsed at the newspaper notices Of tncipient
Gioveruorship boom for him among some Of the Re
pubiicans on upper West Side. Statements that
ne was willing to head opposition to the renoni-
nation of Governor Hughes or TO the nomination or
anybody else. he said, absurd.
'I am candidate for public office" he ex
planned. L a strong supporter and admirer Of
Governor Hughes. I certainly have no wish for
Office, and if I did have such a hankertns GER
tainly would not want to oppose Governor Hughes.
Also I would not want to start a boom in July.
I read to-day of the introduction of resolution
frdorsing a candidate at the Republican Club
of the 18th Assembly District and of It's being
tabled. Some time ago two three friends of
mine in that organization spoke Of such resolu-
tion. I told them I did not see what use it would
be as anything more than a compliment. I have
heard that after ii tabled it put on the
list of special business for the next meeting, but
should think it would be better TO let 1t remain
tabled"
Through mistake in names. il reported that
the motion for tabling the resolution made by
Harry ". Mack, leader of the district instead Of
by James r. Knapp. Mr.. Mack. who voted for
the tabling, suggested that those who wished to
consider It might put 1t the list Of spe-
cial business, and said yesterday that II Mr..
Douglas should be nominated by the Republican
convention this fall he would support him with
pleasure Many of those who voted against the
resolution explained yesterday that they were not
