HUGHES IS NOW MANAGER.
JURNEY IS ADVANCED.

The Kentucky Light & Power
Co. is making changes in the To-
cal management, really effective
the first of the year, but just
now becoming operative.
Doyle journey, local manager,
and connected with the Hickman
plant for a number of years, has
been jumped up to Chief Auditor
and will have entire charge of the
commercial departments of the
four plants owned and operated
by his company. He will go to
Fulton, where the office work
will be centralized. In a way,
he succeeds Dawson Skeen, sta
toned at Fulton, who VIII now
act as Chief Engineer. Supt.
Burney Hughes, who has also
been connected with the plant
for the past eleven years, sue
eeeds Mr.. Jurney as local mana
ger, and Geo. o. Stewart, of In
dianapolis, also for several years
with this company, will be asst.
manager. No one is better quail
flied for local manager than Mr..
Hughes, as he is particularly IA
miliar with local conditions and
knows the game. He has been
instrumental IN giving Hickman
service as good as Chicago or
any other town. Hickman 5 wat
er and light service is AL, and
Mr.. Hughes may be depended up
on to keep it up TO the present
standard. Since a large part of
the bookkeeping for this plant
viii be handled at Fulton, Mr.
Hughes will be able to act as
both manager and superintendent
for the Hickman property.
The Kentucky Light & Power
Co. now owns plants at Hickman,
Princeton and Dawson
Springs, by. But Hickman Is the
only point where they have Ice
plant and water works in connee-
ton with the light and power
business, which means, of course,
that Hickman Is ;hCir biggest and
most important property.
The Courier regrets that Hick-
man is to lose Mr.. .lurney. He is
q live wire and a citizen any town
will be proud of, but he de
serves to 90 On up with his com
pany, and W. predict that his u
innate address will be Chicago
where . &C head offices of the
are located.

IN A LAND OF PLENTY.

James Aumillier, aged sc years,
who located IN the vicinity of
Augusta several months ago,
was taken from a small tent on
the banks OF the Ohio River by
county officials, suffering from
badly frozen feet and legs. Au
miller had stretched piece of
tarpaulln over a pole and had
slept under this light covering
ON the ground during all of the
present winter. When found he
was surrounded by ten hens,
which he had raised, all huddled
ove- small fire. The man was
sent to the infirmary and is in
serious condition.

Plans for the building of 13
miles of new railroad into the
coal producing section of Grundy
county have just been approved
by President Peyton of the n. C.
4 St. Railway, and already the
big steam shOvels of the construe-
ton forces are on the ground
ready to start work. The new
line will be an extension of the
Tracy City branch of the system.
The people of Hickman are ready
to lsten to anything that sounds
like a reduction in the price of
coal, as $3.50 a ton certainly gets
our goat. The announcement Of
this extension doesn't excite our
enthusiasm along economical
lines; it hasn't even the faintest
resemblance to reduction of
that $3.50 a ton freight rate, re-
Gently saddled on a helpless
public. But, we do see rift IN
the dark, overcast, In plans which
are well matured here for again
receiving coal by river. A finan-
cially responsible firm now has
in hand a complete set of blue
prints; draft of an uptodate I'M
loading plant for handling barge
coal at Hickman. This will at
least cut off soc a ton in the
saving of freight, as river coal
can be handled for 81 ton
freight. Every business man,
every factory, every private cit
izen will profit by this unload
ing plant and should not hesitate
to sign a long time contract with
the promoters. 1t now begins to
look as though the railroads have
killed the goose that layed the
golden egg. For years they have
had it all their own way, our
former river unloading facilities
having been starved by a low
rate. This was followed by an
advance to $1.25 a ton; then
sl.50-and nothing to stop furth-
er advances, except an unloading
plant. Memphis has very de-
cent rate, because she maintains
unloading facilities-much lower
than the Hickman rate, we are
told, even though it is a longer
haul to Memphis. Another item
not to be overlooked is the fact
we can ge1 better coal by river
than rail. 1t seems to us that the
time is ripe to 60 back to river
coal, aud we re glad plans are
Under way for putting up an e.
Electrically driven unloading de-
rise.

HOTEL WATERS HERE NOT
TO BE AS HARD HIT BY
LAW AS ANTICIPATED

Washington's hotel waiter supply will
not be seriously affected by the Presi-
dents proclamation putting alien
enemies without the gates OF the Capi-
tai. according to the statement OF one Of
the best known and best informed hotel
men in Washington today.
A few years ago, according to this
man. nearly all OF the hotel walters
were German or Austrian. They made
good walters. Since. the outbreak of
the European war. however. he, stated.
the number Of Germans has steadily
diminished. Many OF the younger men
returned to their native land when
called to the colors. oder men who
had been long in this country were
naturalized. The ranks ever since that
time have been gradually filed by other
nationalities.
Since America entered the war Ger
man walters in Washington have been
closely watched by secret agents OF
the Government. it was stated BY the
Department OF Justice All men known
to be German have been under sur
veillance. Il was declared. and there
was small possibility Of their learning
state secrets.
Charges that many Of the hotel wait
ers OF Chicago are Germans, and that
they have utilized their calling to get
Information OF value to the Kaiser, have
been received by the Department OF
Justice. They will be investigated.
Under the Presidents proclamation
Riding the District Of alien enemies, a
number OF hotel walters and other en-
ployes will have to move. A number Of
men who have grown old In this
country. and who considered themselves
Americans. but failed to take out
naturalization papers will be caught in
the net

BOLSHEVIKI RULE
INSECURE, EVENTS
IN RUSSIA SHOW

LONDON, Nov. 2o.-The first con
nected story OF recent Developments
In Petrograd sent from a correspond
ent now in that capital reads as
follows: 80 .
The comparative ease with which
the Bolsheviki party accomplished
the downfall of the provisional gov
ernment was mainly due to the passive
attitude OF large proportion Of the
troops in the garrison.
The precipitate flight OF Kerensky
at the first signal OF danger told its
own tale. The last stand in behalf
OF this government was made by q
force OF women and boys-cadets
from the military sehool-installed as
a garrison at the Winter Palace.
ksrensky's Failure Long Expected.
For some time past few competent
observers had failed to foresee that
the provisional government would
come to an untimely, II not inglorious,
end. 1t had met successive insults
to Its authority, whether on the part
of rival political parties. Kronstadt
mutineers, Finnish separatists, UlSa-
rine home rulers, or insubordinate
Don .Cossacks, with words and futile
proclamations. This continued for
bearance at first was largely attrib-
utable to idealism and belief in the
efficacy Of moral suasion, but subse-
quently to consciousness of weakness,
and was interpreted by the troops, the
real masters OF the situation, as evil
dence Of pusillanimity. A certain
number Of regiments lent q ready ear
to the suggestions of Bolaheviki agi-
tators. while others were determined
to adopt a eutrallattitude.
Had q considerable portion Of the
garrison remained loyal to the pro
visionRl government the Bolshevists'
coup must have proved a failure, as
these uncouth champions of rebellion,
many OF whom never had learned
how to handle q rife, could never
have stood up against regular troops.
Armistiee Asked BY ,Lenine.
On November 8 Lenine took the
first step toward realization of the
peace programs OF the Bolshevists,

CAPITAL OF ENEMIES

In announcing today that Washing
toms police force, 500 strong. stands
ready to cooperate with the Depart
ment of Justice to the fullest extent
in enforcing the Presidents proclaim
alton barring male alien enemies
from the District, Major Pullman ex-
pressed great disappointment that the
measure does not include those whom
he regards as far more dangerous
German women subjects. --.------'- ----.
They are worse trouble makers
than the men," said Major Pullman,
"and sincerely hope there will be an
amendment providing for. their ban
ishment"
Major Pullman instanced the clever
ness OF women spies, whose suavity,
social knowledge, and nnesse give
them an entree to high places in most
cases denied the men who must leave
Washington.
Department VIII Aid.
''The department will do all in its
power to further the enforcement of
the proclamation, however, said Pull
man, "and should prove a most valu-
able adjunct, locally, to the Depart
ment of Justice. Ours is the greatest
single maintaining machine in
" ashIngton and our men With their
intimate knowledge of various sec
tions of the city and the dwellers
there should perform fine service"
Pullman will issue a number Of
special orders to his men, instructing
them in enforcement OF the law. That
section providing for departure OF
alien transients from the District
stipulates that the forty-eiEht-hour
period allowed them to remove shall
expire at midnight tomorrow. The
police already have begun sharp
lookout for such transients in order
that swift arrest may follow any pos
sible violations.
