cal to the public welfare In the opinion Of lawyers Of
high standing the clause is unconstitutional and voatve OF
the freedom Of action Of both and railroads in

n The public welfare demands the utmost liberty OF the
press short Of degeneraing into license and it is served
best where the gathering Of and the dissemination
Of news is governed by few restrictions possible.
Newspapers as a rule we're accustomed to trade their
advertising space to the railroads tor transportation in
order to gather news and extend their circulation The
onlv exception was where newspaper used transport

indeed AS general thing passes issued to public

There may have been something too, in the fact that all
members Of the legislature and the like poorly paid

events the Hepburn act does injustice to the
newspapers and to that extent curtas their OF

the exchange of advertising space for transportation ought
TO be amended as Senator Stones bill provides.

THIS HAS BEEN A BUSY DAY WITH
GRAND JURY AND CIRCUIT COURT

Circuit court adjourned at noon to-
day until o'clock next Monday
morning and all tine members of the
petit jury except those serving upon
the case on trial at the time, were
excused for the term. The case on
trial was that of Mollic Neef, cited TO
appear on charge of contempt of
court, for failure to obey the mandate
OF the court delivered more than one
year ago to the effect that she ana
other keepers of alleged disorderly
places on Kentucky avenue should. at
once vacate the houses in which the,
then lived. About dozen other wo.
men were subject to the same order
and all the others either left the city
or moved to other parts of town.
Only part of the evidence was sub
mitted this morning and the hearing
was continued until next Monday. The
woman has employed an attorney and
it appears that she purposes to fight
the contempt proceedings.
A verdict of acquittal was rendered
by the jury this morning in the case
of Charles Manley and Lon Young,
charged with HOUSEKEEPING. The
alleged offense was committed some
time ago at Tuck Laws saloon, nea~
the corner of Eleventh and Washing
to streets, and for more than 80 days
the defendants have both been in Jail.
After being out for more than an
hour the jury in the case against
Claude Craig, charged with grand
larceny, reported its inability to agree
The statement was made by the fore
man that there was no possible chance
of an agreement and the members
were dismissed. The court, however,
set the case for a retrial next Friday.
Craig is charged with grand larceny
and his alleged offense is the thefl
of a watch from the home of Patrol
man William Rogers, a member OF
the Paducah police force. one day
some time ago while the members
of the family were at dinner and the
front part of the house was vacated.
Another indictment was against
Jodle Davis, who is charged with ma
licious shooting He was arrested a
month ago by Patrolpan Rogers and
his alleged victim is a man named
John Grogan.
Oscar Denker. saloon keeper, was
indicted on the charge of selling
liquor TO a minor named James Davis,
and James Dunlap was indicted on a
charge of obtaining money on false
pfetenses. 1t is charged that he Sc
