NARROWLY vtRTED
Is Another Jail Delivery at Paducah
Loose Bricks in Wall DiscoV-
cred in Time.

Paducah Aug 2-Another delivery
from the county jail was narrowly
.averted this morning when the jail Of
fcials discovered loose bricks in tho
north wall a few feet distant from the
hole the white prisoners cut through
the wall three weeks ago, The loose
bricks were near the base of the wall
the bricks. and the cracks had been
on the first floor, which is occupied
by the cclored prisoners. The NOR
tar had been removed from between
the bricks and he cracks had been
concealed with soap.
The prisoners worked at the job
lin spare minutes. Since The recent
jail delivery the county officials have
kept the prisoners in the cage and
allowed them the corridor only 4
short time at meal times, as it is
almost impossible to feed the prison
.crs through the bars. The officials
made regular inspections of the walls
but the crevices between the bricks
were covered SO neatly thai the loose
bricks were not discovered until this
morning. When breakfast was passed
lin a prisoner gave the officers a tip
lon what was going on.
The Jail officials did not make
known the new leaders although
they inferred they had learned all
abou the new attempt. Jonas Smith,
the murderer, is kept in a cell all
the time. and he did not have an on
portunty to assist. Four prisoners.

Administrative FEATURES

The bill marks distinct departure
In that it provides for corporation
tax and court of customs The cor
poration tax, while yielding large
amount OF revenue, Is primarily de-
signed for the purpose Of government
tai regulation of corporations, and 1t
Will have this effect.
The fadt that the amount of the tax
to be assessed was lowered from per
cent to 1iper cent Is considered by the
members of congress to evidence clear
ly that the bill has regulation for its
object and not merely revenue.
The customs court of appeals viii
further centralize the national govern,
ment- and it will place the intricate
and technical cases as to the construc-
tionIo the law and the facts respect
ingI classification of merchandise and
rate of duty under the jurisdiction of
men who are specialists in this line.
There Is no appeal from this court
which, will sit in Washington and the
members of which will be appointed
by the president.
Continues Policy of Protection.
While many items In the bill show
revision downward, it will as whole
provide for an increased revenue, con-
tinung in general effect the Repub-
| lican policy of protection.
Governmental measures of retalia-
ton against countries which do not
make tariff concessions to the United
Statesaare amply provided for. Maxi
mum and minimum provisions enable
higher rate of tax to be imposed on
| the products Of these countries than
would ordinarily have been the case
! The creation of a commission to look
! into the question of the tariff from a
! nonpartisan viewpoint is an innOva
ton that has been suggested for many
years. 1t is generally looked on as a
move toward taking the tariff out Of
| politics"
A policy long ago established by tar
if makers in this country is retained
| in the new measure. II Is the impos
inr of particularly heavy duties on
| luXuries.
Drawback Provisions Explained

dicative Of a more kind hearted gov
ernmental attitude than had been con
