Considerable local interest was
created during the past week ia
the proposed paving of certain
streets and avenues in the city, the
con tract for which has already been
let by the council, through the OPP
position to the Improvement which
developed on the part of a few Of
the property owners.
A petition was in circulation dur
ing the forepart of the week re-
questing the city council to recon-
slider is action in letting the con-
tract. the petition making the claim
that the present was not favora BILE
time for such work because of high
material costs, etc. A bout fifteen
persons signed the petition. many
of them, however, doing so with the
stipulation that they were in favor
of the paving proposition but were
not in favor OF the requirement that
new water connections of lead pip

property owners.
In view of the situation created

FATALLY BURNED
BY GASOLINE
Mrs. Slaughter D. Cox Loses
Her Life By Using Case
line to Start a Fire.

Mrs. Slaughter d. Cox was fatally
burned Saturday morning about $50
O'Clock at her home at Sixteenth and
Canton streets. She was making a
fire to get her breakfast and poured
gasoline, which she thought was coal
oil. on the coal. The gasoline fiared
up when set on fire, causing that in
the can to explode. The top of the
stove was blowed off and Mrs. Cox
was covered with the burning liquid.
She ran screaming from the room
and M. w. Barnes, who lives in the
same house, rushed to her assistance,
but before he could put out the fire
she was fatally burned about the face
and body. A physician was called
and for some time it was thought that
she might recover but she gradually
grew weaker and died Sunday at 2
a. m. She was about Fl years old
and had been married less than two
years.
Her husband is a salesman in the
grocery store of B. B. Rice. He was
not at home at the time of the acci-
dent, having gone to the store to
open up before breakfast, as was his
custom.
Before her marriage Mrs. Cox was
Miss Ollie Moore. of the Fruit Hill
neighborhood. She was a grand
daughter Of the late B. f. Johnson.
She was devoted member Of the

Second German Raider" Off
Atlantic Coast Reported
To Navy Yard.
DERELICT SHIP SUSPECTED
Wrecked Schooner Known To
Be In Same P osition Assign
ed To Mysterious Craft.

Boston, Mass, April "a SUSPECT
Gus vessel off Nantucket lightship
was reported to the Boston naval yard
by a British vessel Sunday. The radio
message, said:
"Sight suspicious vessel or object
forty-five miles south, six degrees
west true from Nantucket light vessel
at 3:15a. m. today.
(SignedD British vessel"
Later the position of the mysterious
vessel was given as latitude 4O:15
north; longitude 6:28 west almost
due south from the shoals.
The report Of mysterious craft in
the steamship lane to Europe was the
second to be announced officially
within twenty-four hours. Yesterday
the lightship sent word of "a CON-
merce raider" of 10000 tons burden
passing west. That the the craft sight
ed today was the same one, officials
declined to state. The censorship,
which was lifted momentarily to allow
shipping to receive warning of danger,
was at once clamped down tightly.
Maritime men expressed the belief
that the object may have been derelict
schooner Oxneayer of Mechiasport,
Maine, which was recently abandoned
by her crew off the coast.
No report of any victims of a raider
in these waters has been received sc
far as known. Prompt action by the
navy yesterday in getting all shipping
under cover the instant suspicious
looking ship was sighted effectively
cleared the coast of prey for foreign
warship.

About Forty Representatives
To Be Here On
That Day.
TO MEET AT AVALON
Public Installation Will Be
On Next Thursday
Night.

The Grand Commandery of the
Knights of the Golden Cross, which
has been holding its meetings at Pa
ducah, familiar with Hopkinsville hos
pitality, thought it wise to visit the
best town on the map, and will meet
here Thursday morning, opening its
first session at 8 o'clock at the
Avalon.
The Golden Cross is a fraternal or
der, with greatly beneficial insur-
ance feature, for both sexes, and dur
ing its existence of more than 40 years
has paid out millions of dollars to ben
eiciaries. AT the public installation
of newly elected grand officers next
Thursday night all who would like to
unite with one of the very best of fra
ternal orders, and which has its com
manderies in almost every state in
the Union, will have an opportunity
of learning much that will be Of great
interest.
There will be number of speakers
among the grand representatives
among them the following:
w. R. Cooper, Supreme Keeper o.
Records, who was charter member
and is now holding the Office for more
than 40 years; Chas. A. Thompson
Deputy Supreme Commander, WHIT

Brazil, Peru, Chile And IRA
quay Ready To Follow
Uncle Sans Lead.
CUBA ALREADY AT WAR
Guatemala And Nicaragua
Considering A Break
With Germany.

Cuba formally entered the war SAT -
urday, the vote to do so being unani-
nous in both Houses.
Early entrance of several OF TIRE
South and Central American nations
in the war against Germany is regard
ed as practically certain. BrizIls,
aroused by the sinking of her steam
ship Parana, is expected to become
belligerent this week and it is assumed
that her lead will be followed prompt
ly by Uruguay Chile and Peru.
Reports of divided opinion in Argers-
tina have given officials very little su-
couragement to look for aggressive
action by that country.
Active support of the United State
by at least two of the five Central
American republics, and possibly by
four would not be surprising. Official
and unofficial reports that Estrada
Caberia, president of Guatemala, *
contemplating seriously break witts
Germany have been received.
1t is known that earnest efforts have
been made by counsellors of Cabrera
to induce him to enter promptly intD
/ the war. If he does, it is expected
that Nicaragua will follow and that tfSs'
long standing difficulties betwees1
those two countries and Salvador and
Honduras may be swept away in de-
sire to present a United Central
America.
An odd situation would be left M
the position of Costa Rica. There -
new government has Just been in,
stalled and has apparently no oppoE-
tunity of recognition by the United
States.
American officials continue ~
watch closely every move in Mexico,
but little real anxiety remains. 1t Es
believed now that German machina-
tons in that country have failed aua1
that the worst that may be expected
from that quarter is declaration CT
neutrality.

Nearly 100 German Vessels
in American Ports May
Be Confiscated.
TONNAGE $4,000
Ships Will Be Repaired at
Once and Put Into Trans
Atlantic Trade.

Washington, Apr. 9.-Nearly 100
German merchant vessels in Ameri-
can ports were taken over by the
treasury department and probably
will be utilized in the general service
but whether they will be confiscated
or paid for after the war has not been
announced.
Anxious to observe treaty obliga-
tons strictly, and move in accordance
with international law, officials will
examine precedents carefully before
deciding.
Officials made it clear that in taking
charge of the vessels the government
acted with the primary purpose of
preventing their crews from destroy
ing or further disabling them. Hav-
ing come under the protection of the
American government, however, they
now occupy a status which injects
new features into the problem of their
disposition. This problem officials
regard as largely one of policy. 1t is
held that the government has absolute
treaty rights to make use of the ships,
though it is uncertain whether they
can be taken over without reimburs-
ling the German owners.
| In some quarters the position is
taken that ships of value equal to
that of American vessels sunk by
German submarines should be confs-
Gated outright, but that it would be
best to pay for the others.
The vessels, laid up in American
harbors for safety at the outbreak of
the war in Europe, were seized inn
mediately after the house passed the
war resolution. Their crews will be
sent to immigration stations as aliens,
to be admitted as ordinary immigrants
if they can show the necessary re-
quirements
The fact that many are naval re-
servists will not serve to bar them.
There were indications that damage
done to the ships by their crews when
relations between the United States
and Germany were broken off will
be repaired as early as possible and
the ships put into the transatlantic
trade to transport supplies to the
allies.
The total tonnage of the vessels
seized amounts to $4,000 gross tons.
That tonnage could not be built in
American yards in less than a year
and some of the larger, notably the
Vaterland, could not be produced in
the United States in several years.
All of the ships will have to be dry
locked before they can be made sea-
worthy. Bureau of navigation Off
cialS pointed to practical difficulties
that will delay repairs in that the
ships will fill the country's dry-docks
for some time to come. The great
Vaterland, with a tonnage of 81, 600,
is too large to enter any of the Amer
lean dry-docks and will have to be
towed to Balboa to be locked.
The earliest time estimated to put
any of the vessels into service is three
months. Many of them cannot be re-
paired that soon.
