son County.

Frankfort, KY, May 22.-The
Court of Appeals this morning re-
versed the jefferson Circuit Court in
the case of the city of Louisville
against c. C. Stoll. Chief Justice
Hobson wrote the opinion. The suit
was instituted to enforce the 1911

Fulton, between Cabel and Mill
streets. The street was macadam-

done in 1911 was reconstruction. The
Court of Appeals decided in favor of

INSURANCE CO.
DECIDED ON
Resolutions Adopted by Bust.
ness Mems Association and
Committee Continued.

The regular meeting of the H. B.
M. A. Friday night was devoted prin-
cipally to the consideration of fire in
surance conditions in Kentucky since
the withdrawal of 121 big compa-
nies. 1t was definitely decided to or
ganize a local company to handle
risks. This company will be organ
lied at once and if possible be ready
to write business in July. The meet
ing was attended by large number
of business men and it was the con-
census of opinion that a number of
companies.organized throughout the
state offered the only solution of the
present situation.
Representative John c. Duffy, who
voted for the Glenn-Greeene insur-
ance law, which brought about all
the trouble, introduced a resolution
which was passed, calling on Gov.
McCreary to bring about a confer
ence of the governors of the various
states for the purpose of uniform
laws throughout the United States
for the regulation of insurance COM
panies. This resolution sets out that
congress is powerless to pass such
laws and that it must be done by
states; also it is claimed in the reso-
luton that the insurance companies
are making an example of Kentucky
for other states which may be con-
templating similar laws, but "declar-
ed Mr.. Duffy, if all the states will
become interested, instead of being
a martyr Kentucky will be the lead
er of one of the greatest economic
movements ever stated in America. "
A copy of the resolution has been
forwarded to Governor McCreary.
1t was also decided to invite the
Kentucky Press Association, which
meets June 8, at Dawson Springs, to
visit Hopkinsville on June 10. If the
invitation is accepted, a picnic din
ner and race meet at the fair grounds
will be features of the days enter
tainment, which will be in the hands
of a committee headed by w. A. Will
gus, c. r. Clark, Sam Frankel and
the local newspaper men.

Senator William O'Connell Bradley
was one Of the most distinguished
republican leaders Of Kentucky IL
his generation. An orator of unus--
ual ability, for forty years he has
been prominent before the people Of
his state and the nation.
Born in 1847, he was only l4
years of age when the civil war
broke out. Twice he ran away from
home to join the union army, only
to be taken from the ranks by his,
father because of his extreme youth.
AS page of the lower house of the
Kentucky legislature, he attracted
such attention that, at the age of Is,
special act was passed by the legis--
lature enabling him to practice lsw-
if he proved his qualifications before
an examining committee, consisting
of two circuit judges. He salts
fed the committee of his qualifica-
tons before an examining commit
tee, consisting of two circuit judges
and made the law his profession
through life.
From the time he became of age
until his death, there scarcely was q,
state convention of his party in
which he was not a prominent figure
He was but little less prominent in
the republican national conventions.
For twenty-eight years he was
ANONYMOUSLY chosen a delegate-at-
large from Kentucky to the national
conventions. At the convention in
1896 he was the choice Of his state
for president, and receive lO5 votes
for vice-president in the 1883 con-
vention.
Three times he was chairman Of
his state delegation at the national
AS one of the noted convention
orators of his time, he seconded the
of Grant in 1880 ana
that of Roosevelt in 1904. In 1884
it was his oratory largely that pre-
vented the reduction of Southern
representation in the convention.
Faced with a strong democratic
majority in his state. Mr.. Bradley
often suffered defeat for Office.
Twice he was defeated for congress
and four times for United States sen.
ator after receiving the nominatiOn.
Of his party. In 1887 he was defeat
ed for governor, but rednced the
democratic majority of the preoed--
ng gubernational campaign FROM
II 900 to 1900. It was this show
ing that led to his prominence as a
candidate the fol-
owing year. --.--

ry again settled on his banner in 1908.

WILL AMPLIFY FIRE AND POLICE SIGNAL
 SYSTEM SERVICE
Experts Here to Examine Ar arrangements of Police and
 Fire Departments.
Many New Red Lights To Be Installed in Police Alarm Systenl-NeW Switch
 board Planned.


 Notable improvements to the police are expected to be completed this month as a result Of the presence of Engineer John schaefer of the Game we'll system in Bridgeport Sunday during which time he conferred with. Police Electrician Sheridan A. Ladd and fire department officials, including Commissioner John H. Tague. The improvements relate to the extension of the red lights at night to designate the location of fire alarm boxes and to act as emergency police calls. In way this feature will be interloched with the signal systems Of the two departments.
 A piece Of mechanism, known as a. flasher, is now on it's way to police headquarters and is expected to be in stalled within a week. It's operation provides for the man on the desk at headquarters being able to send an emergency call to street men on any of the red lights over fire alarm box es. By throwing on the. desired cir cult. or al circuits, the red lights flash eevry two or three seconds until the desired results are obtained With the power thrown or the lights re- sune their steady burning. While the s.f1asher,' will be installed at police headquarters the motor generator will be intalled at fire headquarters on Middle street.
 The police department now has the old style red light calls at Main an6' IEsolden Hill streets. Cannon and Broad, Fairfield avenue and Water street and State and Water streets The now additional locations are Middle and Congress, Washington avenue and Main, Arch and Main, Gold and Main. Elm and Harrison, Courtland street and Fairfield avenue, Broad and State streets, Broad and Prospect, Golden Hill and Middle. Wall and Water, Bank and Water, Fairfield avenue and Main street, Wall and Main, Bank and Main and Gilbert and Main As soon az possible it is planned to extend the system to the other parts of the city, considered important from a police lstandpoint.
 Engineer Schaefer and Electrician Ladd went over the plans for improv- ing the regular police signal system The Board Of Apportionment is to be E a new adequate switchboard at head lquarters, the one in present use. be ing destined for the second precinct No action will be taken regarding the third precinct until a new station house is built.
 A rough estimate is being made Of the calls coming over the headquar- ters switchboard, it being estimated I that over 22,0O0 calls are received each year. For the sake Of comparison these figures are to be placed along side of the demands upon the elabor- ate fire alarm system An average of lone or two calls each day in the year would be insignificant in comparison with the police switchboard demands.
