DOPE BY LETTER
MIssIvEs CONTAINED POWDER
PRESSED TIGHT BETWEEN
PAGES.

BY mail Is the ingenious method
adopted by Hiram Smedley to obtain
his dope" while being treated for
the drug habit. Ever since placed
under the treatment II has been sus-
pected that he has received his supply
of tablets despite the watchfulness of
Jailer Houser and his deputies.
This morning he received a letter.
and as II felt thick. the attaches OF
the Jail were suspicious. They had
Smedley open il in their presence.
They found tablets were pulverized
and placed in a sack of thin cloth
Then 1t was pressed thin and folded
between the pages of letter mailed
to him.
For the purpose of injecting the
morphine Smedley made himself a
syringe. He took a needle and a
small piece OF rubber hose. which was
fastened tightly with piece of wire
A cork was fitted into one end of the
syringe Letters have been received
by Smedley almost daily, and he con-
fessed that the drug has been slipped
to him by this means. The powder
was distributed equally, and when a
letter was received 1t resembled a
note with many pages.

Protestant Pastors Associa.
tion Holds Annual Meet.
ing This Mornius
Program to be Arranged For
The Season.
THEY WILL EXCHANGE PULPITs

Through the efforts of the Padu-
cah Protestant Pastors association a
grand simultaneous evangelistic meet
ing probably will begin at all of the
different churches next month. At
the regular meeting OF the associa-
ton this morning at the Broadway
Methodist church committee of
seven was appointed to make prepa-
rations for the movement. such as
was held successfully in New Orleans
last year.
The idea OF such movement
pleased the ministers after the Rev.
w. II. Burwell. pastor of the First
Presbyterian church. had related his
experience in such meeting at his
former home, New Orleans. DIR. Bur
wells subject before the meeting to-
day was "A Simultaneous Evange-
llstic Movement in Our City" and he
told OF the plan pursued by the
churches in his former home several
years ago. All churches united, the
pastors doing the preaching. He ex-
plained that the meetings continued
several weeks and did more good for
the churches interest than any other
method of revival. The New Orleans
press also aided in the work.
The plan is to divide Paducah into
districts. the pastors exchanging pull
pits. The choirs will be governed by
the districts. Meetings will be held
every night and continue several
weeks. 1t has been suggested that
prior TO the services at each church.
each pastor hold a prayer service.
Meetings will be in progress at each
church at the same hour and in this
way the pastors association hopes 20
reach the people better than in any
other fashion.
The committee appointed to pre-
pare for the coming meeting IL:
Revs. II. W. Burwei, W. A. Fte, f.
b. lands. NJ. r. Dodd. ID. c. Wright
and w. f. Bourquin. DR.. G.. T. Sulh-
van. president Of the association. was
made chairman of the committee.
The Program.
This morning the program commit
tee, composed of Revs. Z. b. Lands,
w. A. Fite. G. w. Banks and w. f.
Bourquin. secretary. reported the pro-
gram for the coming six months.
Meetings will be held every month on
the dates given below at the Broad
way Methodist church at 10 a. m.
The excellent program up until July
Is as follows:
March s-Subject. "Need of Lead
ership," the Rev. G.. w. Banks. pas
