DISAPPEARED
No Trace OF Whereabout OF The
Princeton Christian Church
Minister.

Princeton, KY, July 4 This
community has been startled by
the strange disappearance Of DR..
E. c. Craven, pastor of the
Christian church, here. DR..
Craven came here y short time
ago to accept the pastorate Of
the Christian church, and with.
out divulging his intentions, he
abruptly left the community and
no one knows his whereabouts.
All efforts at locating him have
been futile. He left here in an
automobile, while his wife and
her little daughter were away
from home on a visit Of several
Gays, ostensibly for the purpose
Of meeting them in Louisville.
Upon their return here a note
was found sta ing that when il
was read he would probably be
crossing the Atlantic. 1t has
since been learned that he was
registered for a day or so at the
Tyler Hotel. Louisville.
DR.. Craven was formerly pas
tor Of church at Eminence,
KY. During his short pastorate
Of the Christian church here the
church fourished and he was
well liked by his congregation.

OYSTER BILL
IS PASSED

The House of Assembly yesterday
passed Senator Fithian's bill, intended
to make uniform the laws applicable
to the oyster and clam industry of
the State. Assemblyman Sheppard,
of Cumberland, explained that it was
backed by the Department of Shell
Fisheries and was intended to remove
considerable number of conflicting
points in the existing laws governing
the shell-fish industry. One OF the
principal changes made by the bill is
that the seed planting season upon
the Atlantic seaboard is to be uniform
with that in the Delaware Bay district
opening on May 1. Exception is made
to this change in the small creeks
tributary to the ocean on the Atlantic
seaboard to afford summer cottagers
and residents opportunity to gather
few oysters for their own con-
sumption in summer 1t will also
provide for some protection to the
clam industry, for which efforts have
been put forth by those interested for
number of years. CLANS are slowly
but surely disappearing from the It'd
al waters of the State.

December, % feet deep and 8 feet
wide, is now overfowing and the re-
suit is health menace.
The Board of Health also presented
inquiry regarding the sewer line for
the hospital.
Council authorized City Clerk Cor
ey to write each body that the plan
of providing sewer was now in the
hands of the Public Works and City
Engineering Department.
There was much discussion relative
to the matter, the proposed line re-
curing considerable engineering. The
only feasible plan seems to be to car
~ the trunk line along the west
shores of East Lake which necessi-
tates a private right Of way and some
property holders are not willing that
their property should thus be en-
croached upon.
City Engineer William s. Bacon
will at once make survey of the en-
tire situation.

Lee DOES NOT
LIKE DECISION

l Tnat part of the Supreme Courts
decision on the Adamson law that
the right to strike possessed by en-
ployees of "a business charged with
public interest and as to which the
power 10 regulate commerce by Con-
gress applied is necessarily subject
to limitation" was studied last night
by the brotherhood chiefs and their
counsel.
William G. Lee, head of the Order
of Railroad Trainmen, says:
I'VE are public servants, to be sure;
but we are not Government servants,
as are The letter carriers, for example.
and letter carrier may quit when
he wishes. I think the letter carrier
takes an oath when he enters the SER
vice. The locomotive engineer, the
fireman, the conductor, the trainman
they take no oath of service.
so they are not in my opinion,
Government servants. / see nothing
in the Supreme Courts decision that
wo1id rfeyent our striking
Mr.. Lee said the brotherhoods would
have preferred to have tile Adamson
law declared unconstitutional.
always before this he added Eve
have had our dealings with the rail-
roads direct. Even last fall we did
not want the Adamson law. We did
not want Congress to touch the sub
ject at all. We wished to get our
ends by straight negotiations with the
managers of the roads. But with the
law on the books it was our duty to
get as favorable an Interpretation of
it as possible.
"lf, under ltoday's decision, Con-
gress has the power to regulate wag-
es, it may delegate that power to the
Interstate Commerce Commission Or
to some other body. This is not at
all what we wished"

tFrom Daily Pioneer March 21)

With the exception of MIR. Garwood,
every member of City Council was in
his place at the Council chamber last
night, and the meeting was one of the
most important and business-like that
las been held for many months.
Matters of serious import were TAX
husiness-like manner and there were
Two or three matters decided upon in
a manner that will meet the approval
of the entire public.
In the near future Church Lane, the
thorougafare from Pearl to Laurel
Streets, along the First Presbyterian
Church will be paved.
At the last meeting of City Coun-
Gil Corporation Counsel Bacon was
asked to give Council the legal status
of the short street which has grown
to be so important. In a written
opinion last night City Counsel said
that there was no record that the
street had ever been decided to the
>l,y Since 1883 it had been public
thoroughfare, originally lane IL
feet wide. A part of the street was
now 80 feet wide, and a portion of it
20 feet wide. The present street had
been given over to public use for
more than 20 years, and there were
in the lane water, gas and sewer
pipes, so that it was impossible to
close the street or lane against the
public. Mr.. Bacon further said that
he had talked with members of the
First Presbyterian Church and had
been Informed that the north line of
the street would be made uniform if
the city would pave the street. Mr.
Bacon recommended this agreement
with the church.
Mr.. Holmes felt that this should be
at once arranged and he moved that
the Corporation Counsel and City En-
:,iheer be authorized to enter into an
agreement with the church, and
pledge the paving of the street. He
explained that he thought the paving
should be the very first expenditure
from the permanent paving appropri-
ation. The motion of Mr.. Holmes
was unanimously carried.
president Evans appointed Mr..
Holmes and Mr.. Channels to act as
committee upon the street.
Corporation Counsel also presented
a communication, in which he said
that there had been referred to him
by Council the question of the legal
sity of tax exemptions under the city
ordinance, of certain manufacturing
concerns. The opinion stated that
the Corporation Counsel had found
exempted from tax, the Sanitary Can
Company, E. Pritchard Co, Ferra
cute Machine Co.. Martin Dyeing & !
Finishing Works, Bridgeton Iron Co., |
Greenebaum Company, Bridgeton |
Chandelier Company, f. Sutro Co; !
and H. A. Hettinger. The opinion
stated that under the provisions of |
the city ordinance only the Bridgeton |
Iron Co., Greenebaum Co., and Bridge |
ton Chandelier Company were entitled |
to the exemption. Mr. Bacon recon- |
mended the City Collector to notify |
the other companies that they were
not exempt.
Upon motion of Mr.. Holmes, the
Collector was directed to give such
notice.. -
There was but one bid received that
can be considered for the motorizing
OF the LaFrance fire engine and hook
and ladder wagon. City Council ap-
rropriated $4,000 for this purpose and
advertised that no bids would be ocn-
