The first sklrmUh over the damage

suits filed against tho city of Paducah

IIby Attorney J M Worten for variouspersons for damages fur working on thestreets is In progress this afternoon be

fore Circuit Judge Heed in the councilroom ut the city hall where court IIs be ¬

ing held on account of the heating nppa

mlial the court house not working

Tlds preliminary battle is In the formol a demurrer to the suits and as finallydecided will determine the fate of tillcase

The history of these suit IIs wellknown The city has been working

prisoners on the street under the presentcharter the same as under the thirdclass charter although it Iis claimed

there IIs no authority for It

A large nuiutier of damage suits haveresulted most of them for 10000 rachIAttorney Worten has filed all those thusfar filed

The citys demurrer being argued today Will filed by Judge Jumci Campbelland I In substance that the city taua right to work prisoners on the streetand that even if the city has not tiltright the city I not liable

Arguments will be made by AttorneyWorten for the plaintiffs and b yJudgeCampbell win firm was recently cmployed by the city at a cost of f1000to defend these suits for the city

The demurrer Is a general ono to allthe suits and If it is sustained thecourt will pick out somo single rue indeciding It in order that an appeal mayb<t taken

No matter which way the case Is decided In this court the toning sid willtake it to the court of appeals whichdecides it finally

The signlllcancc of the arguruenttoday1Is great ns the city has at stake manythousand dollars Even if only nominaldamages were awarded In each case tillattorneys and court costs alone woultf

run up into tho thousandsIt is not probable that Judge Reed will

lecido the demurrer todayIf the city Iloses it will appeal and

obould the city then lose In the court of

appeals the cas 1t will have to be regu

larly tried here on their merits

the charter went jnto effectSome republican have asked what

tile u e cf electing half of the board

but they forget doubtle that theyrun never ielecl more than half thoboard under the present charter and

half the board can stop the policies enforced by tho present city administra ¬

tion which so many taxpayera arekicking against

The democrats held a mass conven ¬

tion several weeks ago nnd nomlnalwtheir tickets With two or three excep ¬

lion I they named the same men wlio arenow In IIlOunrll board of aldermennnd school board

A large number of democrats In PadurAh never vote the democratic ticket atpresidential elections and a larger num ¬
