SHOT ON STEAMER
RAPIDS AT wharf

A len Johnson, a negro living in
Paducah was shot twice and prob
ably fatal y wounded by another
negro, Clarence Williams, about
4:15 Sunday afternoon as the result
of quarrel over 25 cents which the

cab to Cairo.
At the time OF the quarrel and
shooting Williams was in company
with his brother and another un-

ing.
Williams, his brother and the
third negro had been upon the boat
moored to the bank at Fourth street
and were ordered Off. As they were
leaving, Johnson, it is alleged,
struck one OF them with a bi let OF
wood, Williams thereupon fired
three shots, two OF which took ef-
feet in Johnsons abdomen and then
fled with his two companions up
the levee to Twelfth street and
thence out to Commercial avenue.
Officer Mckinney, who had been
telephoned OF the occurrence, caught
the fleeing man just above Twelfth
street and brought him to headquar-
ters where he was identified as the
one who did the shooting by half
dozen eye witnesses.
Williams was later conveyed to
the county Jail while the wounded
man was taken to st. Marys In
| nrmary.
The companions OF Williams had
not been captured up to 10 o'clock
last night.

New York has Just chosen a vice
mayor, who would succeed Mayor
William j. Gaynor were he incapaci-
ated Colonel Ardolph l.. Kline,
long member of the Board OF Al
dermen, has assembled to that posi-
tion by virtue OF the resignation of
John Purroy Mitchell, who has be-
come collector of customs.
Colonel Kline thus holds the Sec
-ond official position in city which
contains more people than any one
OF a half dozen nations OF Europe,
which have kings and queens and
royal families aud armies and navies
and orders of nobility. For the city
now has population of more than
5 1000, 900 and Its wealth Ia perhaps
greater than that OF half dozen
small Kingdoms combined
In New York City the president
of the Board of Aldermen is the
vice mayor and takes charge OF the
city during the absence OF the may
or even temporarily. John Purroy
Mitchell acted as mayor for more
than month after Mayor Gaynor
was shot in 1910. The president of
the board r. elarted but the vice
chairman chosen by the board itself
succeeds him in case Of vacancy
Thus Colonel Kline has succeeded to
all the powers and the possibilities
of President Mitchell who has
stepped out into the national field
of politics.

indications point to their being serious
contenders for regular positions.
Nothing has been heard from Bales,
