regular government troops, for years
stationed there, will not, as has been
suggested, be converted into gov
eminent military school, as the war
department does not see its way
clear to approve of such recommen-
dation made by United States Sena-
tor w. O. Bradley at the suggestion
of Bishop Lewis W. Burton of Lex
ington and others.
Bishop Burton is just in receipt of
a communication from Senator Brad
ley. accompanied by letter from
Secretary of War Dickinson, in which
the secretary states that the
grounds and building at Fort Thomas.
which were provided at great ex-
pense by the government, have been
placed in the hands of caretakers
employed by the war, department
with the view of protecting them, as
they may be needed for future mil
tary use. He says that it has never
been the intention of the war depart
ment to surrender this valuable Mill
tary reservation, or to devote it tn
other than military purposes.
The letter of Secretary Dickinson
concludes thus: "Should it become
necessary at any time to withdraw IA
portion of the army from our insular
possessions, or to increase the mo-
bile army stationed in the United
States, the buildings at Fort Thomas
will be Immediately required for use
by the army"

HAVE OFFERED
10 PER CENT
Increase of Pay in Controversy Be-
tween Railways and $4,000 En-
pIoyees.

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-Peace is ap-
parently in sight in the controversy
between the representative of 49,
I7SO locomotive engineers and 81 West
ern railroads and the general mana
gers. 1t is also rumored that the
wage scales for $4,000 members of
Railway Trainmen and Order of Rail-
way Conductors on the same lines
will be settled at the same time.
This unexpected change came We'd
nesday night, after it became known
that the general managers had in
creased their offer of an advance to
10 per cent for all employees in
volved.
In the afternoon Grand Chief En-
gineer Warren S. Stone could not
see any chance of settlement. The
conferences had been going on daily
since Saturday morning. Sometimes
two or three sessions would be held
daily, but Wednesday not move
had been made by either side to open
the way for peace. At meeting of
the engineers with Commits
sioner Of Labor C. P. Neill, the gov
eminent mediator, the engineers made
certain proposals that if accepted by
the general managers would make a
new alignment f the propositions un-
der consideration.
Then the general managers offered
to increase the wage offer to 10 per
cent. The engineers will meet Com
missioner NELL Thursday or Friday
and give an answer to the offer.
During the meetings with Mr.. Neil
the entire question of what it meant
to call such strike as that contem-
plated by the engineers was discussed.
Grand Chief Stone said that the en-
gineers were thoroughly aware of the
tremendous possibilities in such a
struggle, but that the matter had
been thoroughly considered in all its
phases by the engineers before they
voted to strike.
The conference between the con-
ductors and trainmen and general
managers have been going on for two
weeks. The labor officials are meet
ing different committee from that
treating with the engineers. The
railroad officials offered the trainmcr
and conductors about per cent Oh
Tuesday, and Wednesday they in
creased this to 10 per cent.

PROGRAM FOR
THE CONGRESS
President Taft Consulting Leaders
About Bills He Homes Will Be Put
Through Short Session.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Presi-
dent Taft has begun a series of con-
ferences with various senator's and
representatives looking to the for
nation of legislative program for
the present congress. President
Taft has reason to believe that such
rapid progress has been made with
the big appropriation bills that con-
gress will find itself in a position to
take up at least three or four of the
various subjects of legislation he
recommended in his annual message.
1t is too early to say upon just what
measures the Legislative sentiment
will crystalline.
The President hopes to take real
holiday following the recess adjourn
ment of congress. All of his family
will be at the White House during the
holiday season.
There is much discussion, both at
the White House and the capitol over
the outlook for the administration s
program. The President has indi-
Gated his strong desire that as many
as possible of the measures he rec
commended be passed through con-
gress without delay, in view of tie
coming change Of political complex
ion of the house.
1t is in accordance with this policy
that the appropriation bills have been
rushed unprecedently. No concu-
sions have been reached as to the
order in which the program will be
brought up in congress, but the regu-
lar Republicans have warned the IN
surgent members of their. party that
they must accept the onus if thcv
put any distinctions in the way Of
the proposed Republican legislation.
The mail subsidy, the tariff commits
sion plan for collating and assimiliat-
ing tariff data, Panama canal forti-
fication and tolls and a bill to regu-
late the issuing of injunctions in
equity without notice in accordance
with the best practice in vogue in the
United States courts are all matters
upon which the President especially
wanted action.

er lying in state during the morning

GOBBLER ATTACKS
CHIEF WOODS M'CORD
Who Makes Attempt to Put an End to
Nuisance. will Take Law in His
Own Hands.

Mr.. Jas. Mullins, jailer, was very
fortunate Thursday night when a Sc
Tious charge was brought against
him in the police court, and both the
police judge and city attorney failed
to discharge their duties and infict
penalty.
The complaint was made by Chief
Of Police McCord, who charged the
jailer with harboring vicious tur-
key gobbler on the Jail premises. The
turkey was. brought in from the coun-
try several days ago and placed in
the jail yard. The chief alleges thu t
as he passed the coop in which it is
kept the gobbler poked his head out
and endeavored to peck him. There
were other complaints also coming
from the fire department and other
sources about this gobbler and the
chief thought it was time to put an
end to the nuisance.
Judge Pendleton, when application
was made by the chief for a warrant.
refused to issue it, on the ground
that Mr.. Mullins was his friend, and
stated that he would not issue a
warrant for him under any circun-
stances. City Attorney Haggard re-
fused to prosecute Mr.. Mullins, On
the ground that they were relatives
and besides he said that he under
stood Mr.. Mullins was going to d.
vide.
After the appeal of Mr.. McCord
had been turned down by the city
judge and city attorney he notified
Mr.. Mullins that if the gobbler tried
to bite him again that he would take
the law in his own hands and kill it
and would also advise the other COM
plainants to do likewise.

treated the matter as mere Joke
He said that the boys that had beer
taken before Judge Evans would lay
out Of school and were the kind that
committed thefts, and the only place
for them was the reform school. He
also stated that he had taken the
parents of children before Judge Ev-
ans on several occasions in order to
compel them to send their children to
school, but that each time the Judge
would refuse to do anything, and il
WAS useless for him to have anyone
tried in his court and that he was
unable to enforce the truant law.
The matter was discussed at length
and the board of education decided
that some immediate steps must be
taken to have the law enforced and
Mr.. j. NJ Stevenson, attorney for the
board, was directed to go before
Judge Evans with the truant officer
when the next arrest was made and
see if he could see that the judge did
his duty in the truant cases. If he
can't, then other means will be re-
sorted to.
The board also by unanimous
vote increased the salary of the high
school teachers $40 per month and
the salary of Prof. ]. H. Garvin $40
per month.
Mr.. A. R. Baldwin, treasurer, re-
ported balance in the white fund of
17,221.97 and the colored fund of
$1252.79.
Both Prof. Ships and Prof. Gar
vim reported that matters were run
ming smoothly in their schools, and
that the teachers and pupils were
doing excellent work. In the white
school there are 781 pupils now in
attendance and in the colored school
there are 1856.
The committee appointed to go to
Paris to inspect that school reported
that they had done so. The purpose
of this visit was to investigate the
telephone system in the school build
ing. However, they did not make anN
recommendations and the matter VII
be postponed until later to be acted
upon.
The supply committee was ordered
to take an inventory of all the three
schools and get list of the many
things needed and report back at a
called meeting, at which time the
board will make an order from their
list.
