manager of one of the big New York
play houses has been secured to sup

Three high class acts have been

FREE ferry FOR

Bus ness Interests Said to Be Fgur-
ing on Extension Of Paducah
Road to This City.
VALUE TO CAIRO COULD
NOT BE 0vERESTIMATED

Appropos of the free ferry service
that the Cairo Retail Merchants as
sociation is working on at the pres
ent time, one of the members of this
association who Is closely allied
with association WORK and with the
ferry proposition states that there
is also a discussion OF the feas. bility
of having a trolley line connection
with our neighbor city of Paducah
in Kentucky, also with another line
running south into Kentucky. and
possibly have the same connections
on the Missouri sid>.
The people living along the pro-
posed route in the farming communi-
ties of Kentucky and a.ong the pro-
posed route to points south of here
in Ketnucky are heartily in favor
of this move. and would lend any as
sistance necessary to further such
an undertaking, It Is said
The undertaking it is stated, Is
not far enough along 10 60 much in
to details The main difficulty tc
overcome would be to have proper
facilities to transfer from East
Cairo to this city; however, with
the wide awake business associa-
tions of this city, such a difficulty
should not be hard to overcome the
informant announces. Like the free
ferry service, it will likely take
some little time to get acticn on
this proposition as there arc quite
a number of things to be taken into
consideration. 1t is stated that
within the next few years there will
be free ferry service out of Cairo,
and trolley connections with terri
tories within a radius of fifty miles
densely populated and rich in trade,
and eager to come to this city if the
way can be arranged Tor them 10
come with a minimum of travelling
annoyances.
Many people, In West Kentucky
especially, who live in the rural
districts, come to Cairo several
times during the year en- route to
the larger cities. Railroad connec-
tions here, to all points of the com
pass are so convenient, that Cairo is
given the preference over other
cities in this respect. However,
these people find it inconvenient. in
many instances, to journey here
with the present facilities and the
advent OF an interurhan in that sec
tion connecting with Cairo, via q
ferry or bridge, would make a real
'zation of the ideal and it's value to
Cairo could not be overestimatcd.

ARE GIVEN TO PRINCIPALS

Washington, Oct 3---Surrounded
by the leaders or a united democ-
racy, President Wilson signed the
| Underwood Simmons tariff bill at
IS:09 o'clock tonight at the White
House simultaneously, kilograms
were sent to customs colfectars
throughout the country by the
treasury department putting in act
ual operation the first Democatic
revision in many years.
A happy group of legislators,
members Of the cabinet and friends
enclrcled the president as he affixed
his signature with two gold pens.
He presented Representative Under
wood the pen that written the word
Woodrow and the one that complet-
cd his name to Senator Simmons
both of whom dowed their apprecia-
ton.
In impressive silence the president
delivered in a breezy natutal tone
an extemporaneous speech that
brought prolonged applause.
The president declared that the
journey of legislative accomplish
ments had been only partly complet-
ed, that great service had been
done by the rank and file of tho
country, but the second step in tho
emancipation of business was the
| currency reform. He earnestly
called on his colleagues ito SO the

Ipale'
A new income tax, applying di-
rectly to the incomes of citizens;
the abolition Of all tariff on scores
of items of immense Importance to
American industry and American
consumers and heavy reduction of
tariff rates on most of the articles
in general use in this country are
the chief features of the bill.
At every port collectors of GUS
toms, appraisers of merchandise and
hundreds of other employees of the
| treasury department will plunge at
once into the task of collecting the
nations revenue on new basis, and
with hundreds of new classifcations
and new provisions of law to COM
plicate their activities.
The federal government has been
spending nearly million dollars a
year and the new tariff law will
raise less than one-third of that
sum. Recent estimates by tariff ex-
perts in congress predict that the
raes will raise s249, 100000 a
year; and that the income and cor
| noration tax will raise sl22.000,-
900. The remainder of the govern
ment's great income is made up
principally of internal revenue taxes
and postal receipts.

leaders in Congress believe how

Chicago, Oct. 3,--The seach for
the murderer of Mildred Allison
Rexroat is becoming countrywide
and is enlarging its scope to include
not only "Mr Spencer" but all the
missing belongings-letters and
papers as well as the $3.50 diamond
which Mrs. Rexroat is now believed
to have had with her when she was

letters that might explain why she

Il think we have an almost per-
feet description of him now, and We
ought to get him in day or two"
Not only has this description
been furnished to every policeman
and detective in Chicago. but it will
be sent broadcast over the country,
and the police of every city in the
land will be on the lookout for the
mysterious "Mr Spencer"
When Spencer" is found the tele-

was the last two telephone CONVEX
sations he held with Mrs. Ada John
son with whom Mrs. Rexroat lived,
that involved her terrible fate.
First, he called up the Johnston fiat
and made the appointment that led
Mrs. Rexroat to her death.
The next day, when Mildred Rex
roat had been shot to death and her
body thrown before train, the man
called Mrs. Johnston again, plainly,
TO tell her Mrs Rexroat was going
east to marry him and would not re-
turn.
A reward of $1,000 will be offe~-
ed today by the Du PAGE county
commissioners If they will listen to
the advice of States Attorney

more than one person was concerned

would be captured.
