JACK FROST PAYS
HIS FIRST VISIT
PADUCAH FEELS THE STORM
THAT STRUCK GULF COAST.
WIND HOWIS, TEMPERATURES
FALLS AND WINTER CALLS.

Paducah felt little of the storm
that did so much damage on the gulf
coast last night. The wind howled
and whistled here almost all night
and today there has been great
change in the temperature. The
thermometer went down to "a last
night, and the wind, blowing the
clouds away. there was a very good
size frost There was no damage
done hereabouts by the wind, and to-
day has been crisp and fresh.
Oyercoats were in demand this
morning. as IL was quite cool Down
on the river they had a taste of win
ter and everyone had to wrap up
good. Despite the cool weather. one
or two straw hats were noticeable
on tine streets this morning, but II
is a safe wager that they were laid
aside at noon.

WILL PRODUCE
HIS PROOF
HAZELIP SAYS HE WILL SUPPLY
AN AFFIDAVIT.
SHOWING STATEMENT HE MADE
TRUE IN DUE TIME.

Two well known Democrats have
known of the statement credited to
J. T. Oliphant, president Of the Vim
cennes Bridge company, since the
remark made last August, long be-
fore Il was thought of as jolt for
the Democrats In the campaign. The
gentleman who says Mr.. Oliphant
made the statement to him on August
4. repeated it to two Democrats, and
today one of them was seen by Sun
reporter. He said that he remem-
bered well the statement that was
made. and last Sunday looked up his
records to find what date II was
used. on the same day payment
was made to him by Mr. Oliphant
and the gentleman who made the
statement and by the entry on his
books he could tell the date the
statement was said to have been
made.
In his campaign Mr.. Hazelip has
been careful to examine the records
of the gang carefully, and carries
copies of some of the deals with him
He has been extremely careful In
his statements, and says he has the
proof to back up every assertion he
has made.

News-Democrat asks for all right Just

to Paducah. He has been absent thi:
week but will be home in day or so.

Statement That the Shor.
taee May be $4,000 as Far
as Anyone Knows.

One Of Mr.. Hazelip's strongest
points that he has used throughout
the campaign i the performance of
his duty as county attorney In part
by Mr.. Barkley. IL Is something
that Mr. Barkley has been unable 90
answer satisfactorily, and he attrib
utes !: Ia mistakes he has made. II

promised 10 see that nobody steals
MIR. Ha1clip said: "NIr. IIarkley In
his speech at Rcidland said that II
he were elected county judge he
would see that no man steals one
cent OF the county's money. say
Mr. Barklcy you have been county at

that you have been clothed with all

Chilly weather prevented a large
crowd from attending the debate be-
tween Thomas y. Hazelip and Alben
W Barkley. nominees for the Office
OF county Judge. at Langs school
house last night Owing to the fact
that the school is within the consol.-
dated school district there were no
seats and accommodations and by,
agreement the speakers cut their
speeches TO as minutes each, while
the voters leaned agalnst the walls
and used the moor for chairs.

Interpretation Of Law Concerning Withdrawals of

Roosevelt Policy Of Conservation Really on Trial.
President Taft Will Get Opinions Of Attorney ener-

Decision.

from entry by the forest service.
Secretary Ba1linger holds that the
forestry appropriation act of 1907 pro-
hibits any additions to forest reserves
or any new forest reserves in the sew
en- northwestern states where Theses
ranger sites were requested. Secre-,
tary Wilson, in presenting his case to,
the Cabinet, is said to have argued
that Secretary Ballingers refusal to.
withdraw lands upon a request from
his department was wholly at varianco
with what had been the custom for
years He earnestly desired an inter-
probation of the law by the President
on this subject.
Replying to the charge OF subterfuger
Secretary Wilson is understood to have
admitted that the ranger sites with
drawn under the last administration
purposes and that the withdrawa14
were made in accordance with a pre-
arranged plan agreed to by himself,
Secretary of the Interior Garfield and
President Roosevelt. This plan had
been adopted because the administers
ton had information that water pow
er monopolies were about to grab thesa
act. These co-CaIled ranger sites were
afterwards withdrawn expressly for
conservation purposes and this left the
whole matter over and above board.
The ranger sites wanted now were for
the purpose specified. If he wanted
would not have hesitated to say so,
but he did. not think it proper for his
motives to be questioned.
The President expects to ask Attor-
ney General WyckerShaIm and the 9TH
err legal lights of the Cabinet to fila
controversy before he finally decides
it.
The Bridgeport evening farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1866-1917, 1909-05-07

Washington, May Probably for
the first time since the Civil War the
Cabinet at its meeting to-day listened
to a discussion of serious differences
of opinion between two of it's mem
bers. Secretary of the Interior Balm
ger and Secretary of Agriculture Will
son, who have been at odds over the
proper Interpretation of the law con-
corning withdrawals of public lands,
presented their cases. The Presidents
court.
1t was really the Roosevelt policy of
conservation that was on trial. Sec
rotary Ba1linger, in a recent letter to
Secretary Wilson refusing to make
certain withdrawals of land, requested
the Department of Agriculture, said
that he. considered such Withdrawals
to be extra-1egal. He also charged
that some of the methods employed by
the forest service in working out its
conservation ideas were in the nature
of subterfuges and in an attempt to do
things not permitted under any law of
the United States. Secretary Wilson
in his reply said that the requested
Withdrawals were entirely proper and
moreover. resented the imputation of
unfair methods. Secretary Ballinger
who was in Chicago when the facts
in the dispute became public, wired his
assistants to prepare complete data on
the case together with a legal brief to
substantiate his position. Secretary
Wilson has also been collecting infor-
nation. When the two Cabinet mem
day they were armed with big bundles
of evidence. The big question at issue
between the two secretaries is wheth-
er ranger sites may be Withdrawn
