In Sight In Regard To the
Illinois Central Coal
Rates.
H. B. M. A. SCORES AGAIN
General Freight Agent Cameron
Agrees To Make Reduc-
ton Of 20 Per Cent.

General Freight Agent c G. Cam
eron and Assistant Freight Agent H.
Durrett, of the Illinois Central Rail-
road Co., pursuant to an agreement,
gave an audience to the Hopkinsville
Business Mems Association Tuesday
morning at the rooms of the H. B.
M. A. Chairman Geo. E. Gary, of
the Traffic Committee, presided and
stated the position of the business
men in regard to the rate on coal
and ended by telling the officials that
the original demand for a so cent
rate from all points in Western Ken
lucky coal fields to Hopkinsville had
been modified in spirit of compro,
mise, due to the lack of a direct
short route to the city, and that a
rate of 60 cents wou d be accepted.
Mr.. Gary was TO lowed by Mr.. John
F. Bible, who made a strong and
convincing presentation of Hopkins
vi les position in the matter and the
city's claim to fair treatment.
Mr. Cameron then asked that a
committee with power to act be
named and an effort would be made
to reach a satisfactory agreement
On motion the chairman was made a
member of the committee, which
was named as follows:
Geo. E. Gary, j. T. Wall, Geo d.
Dalton, ]. F. Bib'e, II. M. Frankel
and M. L. Elb.
The committee went into confer
ence at once and the 60-cent propo-
sition was accepted. subject to the
approval of the State Raj road Com
mission, which will be asked to make
the new schedule.
This is a reduction of 20 per cent,
or 10 cents hundred pounds.
1t was brought out in the discuss
ion that the |. C. shipped only 154
cars of coal here last year. With a
more favorable rate, the shipments
this year are expected to be very
greatly increased

MORE DOUBTS
Thrown On Salary Increase.
Mayor YOSt Fails to
Approve 1t.

The ordinance passed Jan. 9, by
the council, increasing salaries of
several officers was not signed by
Mayor Yost, but was returned to the
clerk without approval or disapprov-
al under sec. 1903, a part of which
section reads:
"Any ordinance or resolution We
toed by the mayor or chief executive
may be passed over his veto by vote
of two. thirds of the whole number
of councilmen elected and should the
mayor refuse to sign any ordinance
or resolution, or return the same to
the city clerk with his objections in
writing within ten days after its
passage, the same shall take effect
without his signature.
While the reasons for the refusal
of the mayor to approve the ordi-
nance have not yet been made public,
if such objections were made in
writing, the opinion has been
expressed in a local paper that Mayor
Yost did not sign the ordinance be-
cause it re-enacted the section of the
BID ordinance fixing the salary of the
mayor. The question has also been
raised that the fact that the mayor
presided at the meeting and declared
the ordinance passed is in itself a
violation Of section 34S4 and that the
mayor cannot sign the proceedings
which section 1903 makes it his duty
to without technically acting upon
a matter in which he is directly or
indirectly interested"
The ordinance was published to be-
Icome effective Jan. 10, and be retro
active to Jan. 5. 1914.

Wires That Everything VIII
Be Satisfactory For
HOpkinSville.
OPPOSITION HAS COLLAPSED.
Both Duffy Measures Are Ex-
peCted to Pass Without
Trouble. y

Senator r. M. Salmon has been
heard from in regard to the charter
bills asked for by the people of Hop
kinsville.
A copy of the petition containing
931 names was shown to him Tuesday
and a telegram from the Commission
Committee was sent to him asking
that he introduce in the Senate a bill
similar to the Duffy Classification
bill, putting Hopkinsville in the third
class.
To this telegram, Senator Salmon
replied: 81 think everything is ar
ranged satisfactory for everybody at
Hopkinsville."
In a conversation over the phone
yesterday Mr.. Duffy said Senator
Salmon had assured him of his sup
port of the bill s. Mrs Duffy added
that the opposition had withdrawn.
Senator Salmon has said all along
that he would carry out the wishes
of his Democratic constituents and
without his opposition lobby wGnld
of course be of no avail.
Mr.. Duffy also stated that there is
a strong sentiment for commission
government among the members of
both houses as a result of Hopkins
ville's activity. 1t is not unlikely that
a bill wi | pass giving fourth class
cities also an enabling act.

THE REX BIG BILL.
"The Prisoner of Zenda" and

Price Today.

Patrons of the Rex Theatre will
have a grand treat today. Manager
Shrode is really putting two great
bills in one. "The Prisoner of Zen
da' is in four reels and no one who
has ever read the book should fail to
see it and those who have not read it
will not fail to do so after they have
seen the story in pictures today.
James A. Hackett takes the princi-
pal role and this announcement should
be sufficient to fill the house today
and tonight.
In addition to the above Miss Flor
ence Lawrence will be seen in THE
Coriphee." This is a masterpiece
and is adopted from THE School For
Scandal" 1t is in two reels and is
worth more than the price of admis.
sion.
In this connection it is proper to
say that Mr.. Shrode in a few DAYS
will make quite a change in the leftl
side of the auditorium. There has
been an insistent demand for box
seats and TO meet this want he is go-
ing to elevate the floor spice needed
for the seats and enclose 20 seats
with a. brass railing. Rex box par
ties have become so popular that the
demand of ladies must be satisfied.

The magnificent float in which sat
the king and queen in the purple and

armored soldiers, mounted buglers,
pages in scarlet and purple. The
queen was clad in robes of velvet and
ermine and surrounded by her ladies'

in their silken robes.
A particularly beautiful object in
the parade was a white pea
cock made of white roses and lilies
of the valley. A wea thy lady of

Some years ago the following apollo
getic explanation for a compositor's
blunder appeared in leading weekly
literary journal published in London:
I'm our last number. as we discov-
cred unfortunately too late for correc.
ton. we announced that Mr.. John Stu.
art Mills inaugural address lately de
livered before the University Of St
Andrews had since been published by
him In the form of FIVE shilling
elephant Even the most ardent be-
levers in Mr.. Mill's powers among our
readers will probably have received
this announcement with some incredu-
lity. The fact is that by an error of
the press the word elephant was sub
stituted for pamphlet and the mis.
take. although the proof was read and
reread, unluckily escaped the correct
or's eye"

Sleep.

The science and poetry Of sleep are
here.
Science has this in the London Globe:
Sleep begins in it's first phase by a
state Of distraction. lmmedi.
ately afterward, in a second phase,
these states of distraction pass into a
very delicate motor disturbance. due
to the absence Of parallelism in the
axes Of the eyes or by the deviation Of
their conjugate movements.
And poetry this:
Sleep hath its own world,
A boundary between the things misnamed
Death and existence. Sleep hath it's own
world,
And dreams in their development have
breath
And tears and tortures and the touch of
Joy.
And Shakespeare's "Sleep that knits
up the ravelpd sleave of care" And a
host Of others that you can get
glimpses Of in the anthologies.
AS between science and poetry. which
gives you the truer idea of sleep?-

EuIer,s Wonderful Memory.

Leonhard Euler, who was born in
17O7 and died in 1888 at st. Peters
burg, where he spent his life as
teacher of great power and as pro
Life writer, was an instance of the
genuine mathematician endowed with
almost superhuman powers. He left
more than 200 manuscript treatises on
his favorite subject, and the bulk of
the works published by his academy
between 1927 and 1888 were from his
pen. In his old age he was totally
blind. Then he carried in his memory
table of the first six powers of the
''series of natural numbers up to 100."
1t is related that on one occasion
two of Euler's students attempted to
calculate converging series. AS they
advanced they found they disagreed
In the result by unit In the fifteenth
figure. The question was referred to
Euier. who decided to make the calcu-
lation. He did this mentally. and his
result was found to be correct.
John MarshaII's Eloqusnos.
Chief Justice John Marshall was not
m orator of the "spellbinder" type, but
after he began practice at the Rich
mOnd (Va) bar, he was recognized as
q convincing speaker. William Writ,
one OF the great lawyers of the day.
though several years younger than
Marshall, said of him: '"This extraor-
dinary man. without the aid of fancy,
without the advantages of person.
voice, attitude, gesture or any other Or
naments of an orator, deserves to be
considered as one Of the most eloquent
men In the world. If eloquence may be
said to consist In the power of seizing
the attention with an irrepressible
force, and never permitting it to elude
the grasp until the hearer has received
the conviction which the speaker IN
tends" Whether an eloquent advo-
cate or not, Marshall must have been
rated a great lawyer. for Washington
offered him position In his cabinet as
attorney general, which he declined,
and President Adams, in 179S. offered
him place on the supreme bench,
which was also declined before he was
fnally In 1901 appointed chief justice.
