How long the earth will be en-
yeloped in the tail of Halley's comet
on May 10 Is a question that is much
disputed among the scientists. Since

articles have been written by scien-
lists of note. and in answer to one
written by DIR. Willis Eugene Ever
cite. of Tacoma Wash, Deputy Cir
cult Clerk l.. p. Palmer has written
friendly criticism, taking issue
with the famous scientist, who pre-
dicted both the San Francisco and
Messina earthquakes.
Mr.. Palmer has devoted consider
able time and attention to the study
of science; and several articles he
has written have been published. In
an article in the st. Louis Post Dis
patch DR.. Everette asserted that II
would require five days for the old
globe to traverse the path of the
famous comet. but Mr.. Palmer calcu.
lated that 1t would require only q

Judgment was filed today I'm the
consolidated suits of John Bebout
against the Old Kentucky Manufact-
uring company, and John w Bebout
against II. r. Lindsey, Henry OVERLY
and Charles Allcott. In his opinion
Judge Reed says the evidence is con-
flicting and 1t Is p difficult case to
decide. He recites that Bebout was
general manager and bookkeeper of
the company, and that by the system
of bookkeeping between $1,000 and
$4,000 was charged to him in assets
not on hand. He informed the direc-
tors of II on the night OF June 4,
1909. when Bebout alleges he was
lntimidated into signing the deed and
transfer OF stock. while the directors
say that II was voluntary on the part
of Bebout. By agreement Judge
Reed says that the deed of his prop
.erty and the transfer of the stock
was deemed sufficient to satisfy the
alleged shortage, wherefore the
judge ordered cancelled the two notes
executed later.

PADUCAH LEADS
CITIES OF STATE

Any Other in Her
Class.

Grade Easily.
SAVE THOUSANDS IN PREMIUMS.

Paducah now leads all the cities OF
the state as regards fire protection
and win be Immediately transferred
from class three TO class two and one
half. which will mean a saving OF
$4,000 in premiums annually 20 busi-
ness and manufacturers concerns,
without taking into account the saw
ing in premiums on residence prop
erty- This has resulted from making
improvements in accordance with
suggestions of the fire underwriters:
but the city has gone beyond the sug-
gestions, and M. r. Smith, Insurance
Inspector, informed Mayor Smith and
Chief Wood today that with a few
more improvements the cAy may be
put in class two. which would save
the business men $4,000 annually
in premiums.
The improvements consist of the
employment of one more man at each
fire station, which would increase the
pay roll $4,000 annually; and the in
stallation of a new pump at the water
plant. The mayor and the chief are
of the opinion that If the water COM
pany will make the Improvement. the
city can well afford to add the extra
men TO save business men and resi-
dents from $4,000 to SIS, 900 an
nually. The matter will be taken up
with the water company at once.
Chief Wood has been working two
years TO bring about improvements.
which he recognized as necessary for
the protection of the city, in order TO
get the city advanced in classifica-
tion OF risks. The employment OF
more men at the stations, the con-
OF a new headquarters and
another station, improvements at the
water plant and the installation OF
more fire alarms, were among the
things required of the city.
