lO4 DEGREES
At PADUCAH

Paducah, June 3O.--Heat records
for Paducah and this section of the
state were broken Sunday and the
new record equaled today when the
government thermometer, twelve
feet above the roof, registered l04
degrees.
Today and yesterday will go down
as two of the hottest days in years
if not as far back as the records re-
veal. A singular fact is that while
June. 1913, Just closing, has been
the hottest June in years, its en-
trance and departure from the cal
endar are both marked by excessive
heat. On June / the temperature
rose to SO degrees, probably the
warmest June l on record Through
out the month higher temperatures
than have ever been credited to
June have prevailed
Prior to Sunday the highest tenn
perature for the month was 103 de-
grees. For several days the tempera-
ture was above the / mark, but a
new record came yesterday, only to
be repeated this afternoon.

enough to throw Shannahan from his
seat under the wheels. One OF the
back wheels passed over his right
side. Besides the injury to his side
he was bruised about the body.

Mary's lnhrmary, but his injuries

CONDUCTORS MAY
VOTE TO STRIKE

Washington, June 30.--It is be
lieved that the vote taken by con-
ductors and trainmen on Eastern
railroads and which will be an
nounced tomorrow, will call for a
strike. The refusal OF the Inter
state Commerce Commission to re-
open the case of the Eastern rail
roads which desired to increase
freight rates 10 per cent. has, it is
said. had much to do with the pres
ent conditions, since the roads claim
they will be unable to grant the
mems demands for better wages un-
less they can increase their rates.
The strike, however, it is thought
will not be called, pending the result
of further negotiations.
In a statement to the public when
the reply of the railroads refusing
the demands was made, Elisha Lee,
chairman of the Conference com
mittee, said
part Of the country are confronted
with another wage movement, prob
ably more important than those OF
the engineers and liremen combined
Some 100000 conductors and train
men on forty-three Eastern rail-
roads have made demands for in
creased wages and changes in work
ing conditions. Even though their
wages were increased in 1910 by
$50, 100000 per annum, they now
ask for an additional S17,000000. or
20 per cent per annum."
In its reply declining to increase
the managers committee said
1.-THE railroads reiterate their
statement made to the engineers
that this headlong movement to-
ward final disaster cannot proceed
unchecked. The conductors and
trainmen in the Eastern district
have practically uniform wages and
conditions and the wages now PAID
are liberal. AS positive proof OF
| tention the fact that they are fixed
by Il. f. Clark, former President Of
| the Order of Railway conductors
and p. H. Morrisey, former Presi
| dent of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, who acted as arbitrator
in the New Work Central contro
versy in 1910. To prevent strikes
on their lines, practically all th'
railroads in the Eastern territory it
I1e10 accepted the Morrise!
award.
The committee said that the re
| duction had so narrowed the margin
which was essential TO the solyen
condition OF many of the roads tina
| further increases in operating cost
were view with grave concern.

owen said he did not anticipate

to crate more dilatory tactics, Hear
ings will begin next week and, be-
ing restricted to bankers and ex-
perts, will consume but very little

At GETTYSBURG

Gettysburg, Pa, June 30.-Be-

from twenty-five states tonight are
camping on the historic battlefield
where fifty years ago, divided, they
fought for an ultimately united
country. All day trains rolled into
this little town. Tonight the trains
were still running.
Tired after their many miles of
railroad journey, the veterans as
they alighted threw back their
shoulders, breathed in the air of Big
and Little Round Top once more and
marched to their tents.
Famous Battle Recalled.
Tonight in front of nearly every
tent lanterns were twinkling while
former enemies, now friends, recalled
the Battle of Gettysburg and how
they tried their best to annihilate
each oher. The meeting of old foes
and the recognitions, notwithstand-
ing the fifty years of separation.
were numerous.
Among the many things recalled
is how the famous old Philadelphia
Corn Exchange Regiment saved the
Battle of Gettysburg for the YAM
KEGS. There are thirty-five surviv-
crs of the old Corn Exchange" and
nearly every one is millionaire.
Tonight they met a little frag.

Small Banks Complain.

Complaint has been made, Senator
owen said, from the small banks
country banks-that the provision
for rediscounting forty-tive day
paper does not do them any good
Thes paper consists almost entirely
of farmers notes which run for sew
eral months. Senator owen empha-
sized the fact that experience has
shown in some sections Of the coun-
try that these cnditions could be
overcome by persuading farmers tc
enlarge the scope of their industry
The small banks also complain OF
the provision that they must pay In
10 per cent of their capital stock &c
the federal reserve bank, This com
plant Is based upon the false as.
sumption that it would withdraw
that much of the working capital oi
the member bank. Mr.. Owen ex
plains that this means there will bt
simply a transfer of credits an(
that it will not take actual cash ou
of the vaults of the ,.ember bank
The most that could resldt from thi
transfer OF credits would DE the diff
ference between 5 per cent--th

serves bank allowed to pay membe
