CROSSING WATCHMEN
WILL WORK UNTIL 6
O'CLOCK EACH DAY
c. & 0. Railroad Superintendent and
Division Engineer Meet With Men,
bers Of Council and Promise
Changes-Local Trains to
Stop at Market.

Mr.. w. S. Taylor, Superintendent OF
this division of the C. & o. railroad
and Mr.. H. N. Walters, division en-
gineer of the railroad, came to Mays
vile this morning and met with men,
bers of the City Council at the Coun-
Gil Chamber to discuss certain COM
plants the city officials had to make
against the railroad.
The chief complaint laid in by the
councilmen was that although coun-
Gil refused to grant the railroad COM
pany the right to remove their cross
ing watchmen at o'clock each even
ing instead Of remaining on the job
until 6 o'clock, the railroad company
had ordered them removed during this
busy hour. After explaining to the
railroad officials that it was very ne
cessary that there be a watchman at
these street crossings between and
6 o'clock each evening especially dur
ing the tobacco season, Mr.. Taylor in
formed council that the watchmen
would be instructed to work until
o'clock in the future.
The matter Of dining car employees
dumping garbage over river bank near
new G. & o. depot was also taken up
and Mr.. Taylor announced that this
would be stopped by order immediate
! ly.
1t was also suggested that the rail
road company should erect an attrac-
tive electric light arch over Kirk ave-
nue. which leads to the new depot.
This matter will be taken under ad-
visement by the railroad officials and
will probably be done in the near fu-
ture.
Councilmen also told Mr.. Taylor
and Mr.. Walters that there had been
much complaint from persons coming
to Maysville to do shopping about the
local trains not stopping at Market
street regularly and asked Mr.. Taylor
that these local stops be again resum-
ed. Mr.. Taylor after carefully con-
sidering this matter and talking pro
and con with councilmen, finally said
that he would order local trains to re-
sumo their stops at Market street.
At this meeting 1t also became
known that the railroad company is
considering rebuilding the railroad
trestle leading from Market street tc
the Limestone bridge. The officials
said that this trestle would be re-
placed by steel viaduct In the very
near future which would remove the
necessity Of piling being driven under
the old trestle as supports and which
are blocking up the city's driveways
under the trestle.
The meeting was considered a grea
success in every way and means mucl
to the city. It only shows what can b,
accomplished when gone at in tn,
| right way and when city officials ant
corporation officials get together ant
talk matters over thoroughly, so tina
they might understand each other.

RESENTMENT AGAINST
WILSON SHOWN IN PARIS
Certain Newspapers Stir Up Capitals
Resentment But English Say II
Won't Last Long.
A United Press dispatch from Paris

A United Press dispatch from Paris
says:
Two months ago Woodrow Wilson
could have been elected president Of
France. Today Paris would not elect
him Justice of the peace.
Whether the remainder Of France
has changed similarly, 1t is impossible
to say, but persons returning from the
interior report his pictures still fill
shop and and residence windows, and
his name still evokes the readiest
cheers.
This is not SO in Paris, where the
open unfriendliness or certain news
papers is echoed in subway, tramway
and hotel corridors conversations.
The attitude usually is taken that
Wilson is unduly lenient toward Ger
many. Angry debators allege he is
more concerned with having Germany
than saving France.
Resentment in Paris, however, is
not confined to the president. The
names of Premier Lloyd George and
other noted visitors are beginning to
be heard, whereas, after Wilson's ar
rival, scores of prominent names vir-
tually dropped out of circulation.
These names now are heard cou-
pied with Wilson's, charged with vir-
tual treachery to France.
This palpable cooling Of friendship
is worrying many Americans, but it
leaves the British unruffled. They
smile and say they have been through
it before, and it won't last long.

Kentucky Court Of Appeals Affirms
Mason Circuit Court In Peculiar
Judgment - Aged Father
Shares In Estate Of His
Dead Son.

On Tuesday the Kentucky Court OF
Appeals affirmed Judge Newell's deci-
sion in the case OF Penn VS.. Penn,
which is probably one Of the most pc
culiar suits ever filed in the state of
Kentucky since the adoption of the
State Workmens Compensation act
It will be remembered that Harvey
Penn, son of James Penn, was killed
while employed by Bates e. Rogers on
Dam 33 just East Of the city. A suit
was filed and Judge Newell threw the
suit out of court ruling that the state
Workmens Compensation act covered
the case and that 1t should be han
died through the Compensation Board.
Recently the court of appeals affirm
ed his decision in this matter.
The Workmen's Compensation
Board ruled that young Penn's widow
was entitled to all of the compensa-
ton for her husbands death and al
though the aged father of the dead boy
set out that he was living with and
dependant upon his son while the
sons wife did not live with him, the
compensation board refused to permit
him to share in the compensation.
Attorneys for the father filed pc
tition in the Mason Circuit Court ask
ing for review by the court of the
commissions decision and after hear
ing the evidence Judge Newell revers-
ed the state Workmen's Compensation
Board and held that the aged father,
being dependant of the son, was en-
titled to one-half of the compensation.
An appeal was taken on this case and
the Court of Appeals yesterday affirm
ed the Mason Circuit Court.
This decision is the first of the kind
ever made in the state of Kentucky
and will be an established precedent
of law which will be of much interest
to the practitioners of the state.
No judge in the state of Kentucky
has had so many very important and
new cases affirmed by the Court Of
Appeals than has Judge Newell. With
in the past month he has had three
very important cases affirmed by the
high court which speaks we'll for the
Judges fairness and ability to dis
pense justice.

The Committee in charge Of the pro-

at the Presbyterian church, this Fri
day evening at $50, has been quite
busy the last few days endeavoring to
have the State offices of the Y. M. G..

the novelty of the event appeals to tn,
men of the city and the committe

tendance that will greatly surpass an.
such event in recent years.
Chairman Dawson of the Decoration
Committee, with the cooperation of

High School are arranging some move
decorations for the occasion. Mr..

BETTER SERVICE NEEDED
AT LOCAL EXPRESS OFFICE

The effect Of government manage.
ment Of the Express companies Is be.
ing felt In MaysyiIle and has been felt
in Maysyllle for some time.
The service that the local office Of
the Adams Express Company is giving
the public is a joke and the people
have stood It SO long that they have
had their patience worn and now ask
that something be done to relieve the
situation.
There once was q time when ship.
per by express could feel that any i'm.
pOrtant shipment would be delivered
promptly and In good condition.
Then came time when the public
did not know whether their package
would reach the person to whom Il
was consigned or be appropriated by
some Of the company's employees for
their own personal use. Upon the OK.
pose Of systematic system Of theft
through the express office, the guilty
ones, In short order, were let of by
the payment Of a small fine for petit
larceny and the owners o. iile goods
stolen were allowed to wait probably
twelve months, go through mile Of
red tape and spend half the value Of
the article stolen In Notary fees In
making out aifidavits In a claim
against the company.
The time now seems TO have come
when spirit Of 81 don't Care" pre-.
walls. Instead of collecting packages
to be expressed the local officials will
inform you that yog must deliver II
yourself and when II Is delivered you
don't know whether one Of the EN-.
ployees is going to 60 to sleep ant
fail to make the first train or not.
A very important package was de-
livered to the local office Of the Adam.
Express Company last night with in
structiOns that It mast be shipped OF
the first train this morning. The pack
age was not shipped on the first trair
and the excuse given by the com
pany's representatives was that th,
driver did not make the train.

the next step will be but waits breath

of interest. 1t was shown that when

the Selden patent on internal combus

patent for seven years and won and by

from its shackles and made possible
the wonderful growth which has mark

THE PRICE o. DREAMS

We dream; and the mounting vision,
Freed from the reek and stain
Of unbound cities, is lifted
To skies that are clear again
Homes redeemed from the spoiler,
The child at his happy play;
But for every dream we win to fact,
With blood and with tears we pay.
There kindled dream of freedom,
1t burned with holy flame;
When slowly with lips that trembIed,
We spelled out that awful name,
Down in the dust of battle
Our best-our dearest lay.
We dream and the dreams come true at
But we pay, we pay, we pay [last]
