nevertheless II is considered a fact.
According to the best evidence that
could be gathered General Clark

the little hamlet was named and the
word was altered to "Paducah." His

A "RoUGHNECK" SENATOR.

The Chicago Tribune produces a
plausible explanation OF those Dem
ocrats OF the state legislature, who
announced that they were too broad
to be foolishly partisan, and then
voted for Jorimer, for United States
senator. 1t publishes the confession
Of Representative White, a Demo-
crat, who said he received from the
Democratic boss $1,000 for voting
for Lorimer and 1900 OF the Doodle
pool contributed by corporations m
terested n legislation at Springfield
He produces a telegram, inviting
him to St. Louis. and names other
Democratic legislators, who admit
being there at the time and place.
The widow OF one of them acknowl-
edges that her husband received a
sum of money on that occasion.
Iorimer sprung no surprise when
he denounced White as a corruption
ist and a man. whose word is worth
nothing. II White had not been a
boodler and bribe taker. Of course,
he would not have done what he ad-
mits doing; but what he says seems
amply substantiates by circumstan-
tial evidence.
Lorimer is an original trough
neck" from the packing house dis
trict Of Chicago. who beat his way
to the top by the superiority OF mus
Gle and brains. He served the in
terests he represented well and faith
fully In congress, establishing a rep

These sites have been selected by
the members OF the park commission
as the proper ones to be marked
with slabs so that they may not be
lost to future generations, and Il
may be easy for sightseers to find
the sites OF historic interest. II is
planned to do the work this summer,
and neat tablets placed at angle on
low posts similar to the ones in I'm
tied States cemeteries will be used.
II there are any other sites OF
historic interest in the city worthy
of being marked, the locations OF the
sites and brief story OF the history
should be sent to Dr. ID. G. Murrell
president OF the board of park COM
missioners. The board has spent
considerable time In securing the ac-
curate locations OF the historic sites
as the stories handed down by tradi-
ton usually are misleading.
The plan OF marked sites was first
considered last year and II sprang
into instant favor. The cost will be
small and II will be an advertise
ment for Paducah worthy of all the
funds expeuded. Doubtless other
sites Of historic interest will be
found. and they too will be marked.

GOVERNOR BARRED
FROM A FUNERAL

Milford, Mass. Feb. S.-The feud be-

Sence of Governor Chen S. Draper and
his brother, George Albert Draper, at
the funeral of General William F. ORA
per. former ambassador to Italy, which
caused many comments, was explained
last night when it became nov that
the chief of police was stationed at the
door while the body was lying in state
to prevent George Draper and his
brother from entering.

William F. Draper family not to per-
nit the governor or his brother to en-
ter the house" said the police chief.

The cause of the feud in the Draper
family, which broke out half a dozen
years ago, has been one Of the social

setts. 1t is said to have started be
tween the wives of the two brothers,
who were all Kentucky bellies. Then it
involved the three brothers, politically

CHICAGO OFFICERS
ARE INDICTED FOR
SHALE ROCK GRAB

Chicago, Feb. 8.-Four true bills
charging city hall officials with con-
spiracy In connection with the $45,0 900
"shale rock scandal, were returned by
the county grand jury today. The men
indicted were: John Ericsson. city en-
gineer: Michael n. McGovern, contrac-
tor; Paul Redcske. former deputy COM
missioner Of public works, and Ralph
A. Bonnell, former assistant city en-
gineer.
All the above, with the exception Of
Ericsson, We're indicted a short time ago
in connection with the an alleged at
tempt to defraud the city Of about
$3.50 900 in the building OF section N"
Of the Lawrence avenue sewer.
Graft in Sewer Contract.
The 'shale rock" scandal was also
unearthed in the construction Of sec
ton D" Of the same sewer. The city
paid the McGovern company more than
$45, 900 for the removal Of a large guam
tity of so-called "shale rock" Upon
examination by experts 1t was stated
that the "shale rock was nothing more
than hard clay. and offered little OBJ
struction.
McGovern was the contractor In
charge of the construction and the
man who was paid for the removal of
the rock" Bonnell certified that it
was rock, and Ericsson approved Bon
nells decision. Redscke then put his
stamp Of approval on the work and the
city paid the money.
Another Batch Returned.
Later in the day second indictments
were returned against McGovern, Bon
nell. Redscke and the seven others who
were indicted last week.
The other seven included in the sec
ond Indictment were: Otto Niehoff.
Max Landguth and George Moore, m
ployes of the McGovern company, and
John c.. Parks, Richard Burke, John

ployes.

Madison, Wis, Feb. 7.-Dr. Charles
r. VanIIise, president OF h University
Of Wisconsin, n EX-GOVERNOR w. d.
Hoard. OF Fort Atkinson. president OF
university, have deemed the visit OF
Emma Goldman. the anarchist. to Mad
ison n the subsequent publicity there,
OF sufficient cause to issue formal
statements to the effect that the uni
versity had no official connection with
the lecture or her visit here. There Is
an anarchist club In the university,
composed principally OF students. The
club isn't large, but II Is influential,
and is. encouraged by several members
OF h university faculty.
Will Spend Summer There.
emma Goldman said In her first lec-
ture here that the University OF Wis
consin was honeycombed with anarch-
ism. In her second lecture she said
that the state historical library Of Wis
,consin contained the best collection Of
socialistic literature in the United
States n that h had accepted an
invitation from a member of the fac
Fulty OF the University OF Wisconsin to
spend several weeks here next sunlmer
reading this literature.
Professor 3. A. Ross. head OF the
sociological department, stated to his
lclass n day last week that Emma
Goldman was scheduled to lecture that
evening auQ thai a certain Madison
woman had deliberately followed the
%billposter putting up her announce
ments and had torn them down.
Professor Ross, who left Leland STAN
ford university because Of his ~so-called
radical views, and who later came to
Wisconsin from the University Of Kan
sas. has been granted a leave OF alb
sence for the coming season, and It Is
said in some quarters that he will not
come back to the University of Wiscon-
sin.
To Be Guest Of Professor.
DR.. ID. Prokosch, assistant professor
of German in the university and q re-
cent arrival from Germany, has, 1t is
understood, invited Miss Goldman to
spend next summer with his family
here. Miss Goldman's lecture was de-
livered in the University Young Mems
associations rooms. While his building
Is maintained by the students and an
Independent corporation, 1t is In reality
a university building, being In the midst
of other university buildings and used
exclusively by students.

day, vigorously deny that the ~unfvers-
ity, as a state institution, was the host
of Miss Goldman. Endorsed her ideas

Malta, Feb. THE british battle
ship Duncan, flagship Of Rear Admiral
Sir George Asteley Callighan, second
in command of the British Mediter-
ranea fleet, with the cruisers Lam
caster, Minerva and Barham and four
topedo boat d~estroyers, have left here
for Piraeus, the port Of Athens, Greece.
The dispatch of the British squadron
to Piraeus is indicative Of the deter
minatton of the interested powers,
Great Britain, Russia, France and Italy,
to assure a strict adherence to The
agreement under which the interna-
tional forces were Withdrawn from
Crete.
At that time the Cretans solemnIy
agreed to take no steps against the
sovereignty Of Turkey. The recent
decision of King George Of Greece to
convoke a national assembly was fol-
lowed by reports that the Cretans
would attempt to send delegates to
that body.
This caused uneasiness at Constanti-
nople, and 1t is understood that the
Turkish government informed the pow
ers protecting the island thai If the
Cretans were admitted to the Greek
National assembly such action would
be regarded by the porte as q causus
