Burglars operated successfully be-
tween midnight and dawn today in
the saloon of w. c. Gray, 107 South
Fourth street, by forcing in the
heavy window bars at the rear and
side of the saloon. having first re-
moved the screen and hoisted the
window.
The drawer OF the cigar case in
the front of the saloon was robbed
OF s25 and this is all that has been
missed so far. Hon Billingsley, the
day bartender, discovered the rob-
berry at o'clock this morning when
he opened the doors. He also dis
covered that the thieves had gone
through the cash register, which
contained nothing.
The bell on the register was
locked before the drawers were
sprung. showing that the burglars
were familiar with cash registers
and were avoiding any noise They
made their exit through the cafe
entrance after removing the bars on
the door. which leads to the side
walk. The robbery was evidently
committed BY more than one. as one
mans strength would have not been
sufficient to force in the iron bars at
the window The saloon was robbed
a year ago in about the same
fashion,

Paducah, and he said so today in an
Interview with representative of
The Sun.
Colonel Vance. the Ohio rivers
best friend. arrived from Cairo this
morning and is working his way to-
ward Pittsburgh, visiting all import
ant river cities in the interest of
river improvements. He spoke at
Cairo last night to the Commercial
club and tonight he will fill an en-
gagement with the Paducah Com
mercial club at the Palmer House
and be guest at dinner given by
the club.
Tonight the Ohio river will be a
subject for Colonel Vance to dwell
upon and he has plenty of things to
tell about. He will discuss the pres
ent status of the river and the two
dams between Cairo and Paducah.
dwelling upon their Importance to
Paducah in commercial point of
view. Colonel Vance is pleased with
the position taken by congress and
President Taft in perfecting a nine
foot stage within six years instead
of twelve. I'VE hape to procure
from the next session of congress
the placing OF all unfinished work
on the Ohio under the continuing
system, and should this fail there is
a practical certainty for an appro-
priation for movable locks and dams.
Nos. SO and 54. giving a nine-foot
stage of water" said Colonel Vance.
He said the construction of the
locks and dams below Paducah win
give nine foot of water to about
three miles below the Cumberland
river and a stage of Ga feet to the
Cumberland river, opening those
two rivers to navigation the year
around. The approximate cost of
the two dams below here will be
5000, 1000. and they can be COM
pleted within four years after the
action by congress.
Terminals.
Colonel Vance. In his speech to-
night, will dwell upon the question
of terminals. the absolute necessity
of holding all now in possession OF
municipalities and the adding there
to, to the end that when the river
is improved due advantage may be
taken.
Government engineers are now at
work, and according to Colonel
Vance they have chosen the site for
the two dams below Paducah. Col
onel Vance is the guest of Secretary
Saunders A. Fowler. of the Com
mercial club, today and will leave
tonight for Henderson. thence going
to greensboro and on up the Ohio
