SOME STORIES
r AROUND TOWN

Capt. George Doubleday, general
manager of the Ryman line of steam
boats, has double-crossed NEEDLE
some Matte" reporters, as he calls
them. and has proven to be a sphinx
OF navigation notes.
what do you know this morn
ing" were the words a reporter
greeted him with one morning.
With q smile be said: "You are
the last one | would tell anything If
| knew it,
Then how DO you expect me to
ill up the river column" the para
grdpher responded.
Captain Doubleday smiled one OF
those smiles that was convincing that
he was not going to let anything get
away from him. Then he said he was
as silent as a sphinx and when the
river rose he might be able to divulge
a few pointers. Captain Doubleday
has been in Paducah several weeks
looking after the repairs to the
Ryman line boats of Nashville and is
pleasant enough aud even too pleas
ant in answering reporters queries.

"The Memphis Commercially

that all that the Memphis paper says

had a spite against Kentucky and I'm

posely misrepresented them; a charge
that we did not wait until his death

"WHITE SLAVE" VICTORY.

The U. S. Supreme court, yesterday,
reversed the decision OF the United
States District Court for the northern
district Of Illinois Ia the cases Of "Blss"
Keller and Louis UIlmau, whom the
lower court found guilty of the "While
slave" traffic 10 south Chicago By re-.
tanning 40 alien wona, named Irene
B,di, contrary to the provision of the
immigration law, which prohibits the
retention OF such a woman within three
yesro after her arrival 10 this country.
The woman in question was a subject
OF Emperor Francs Joseph. The sen-
tence was resisted, on the ground that
the portion OF the immigration Law in
Volved Is unconstitutional, aud the SD
preme Court 30 held. The opinion was
announced by Justice Brewer, who said
that, notwithstanding the nefarious
character Of the business involved, the
ma'tr was ooe falling within the joris-
diclion of the State courts as police
power.
The Supreme Court directed that the
case be iecOnsidertd and the indictments
quashed.
