Justice Must Be Done.

Today Barboursville, the county seat,
was visited by hundreds of people in
terested in the result, their avowed pur-
pose being to see that justice is done.
Counsel for Candidate Taylor began
action in the Knox county district court
to compel the county election officers to
certify the vote to the board of cleo
tions.
The contention is over forty-two bal
lots from the First precinct, but the
petition fled by Taylor's counsel as
serts that the election officers purpose
to throw out the entire county. Judge
Brown granted a temporary injunction
against such action. Johnson and Lewis
counties are affected by the Democratic
charges of Irregularities and legal COM
plications are likely to arise. At Hop
kinsville a contest of a precinct which
gave Taylor a plurality of ninety-five is
delaying the official return of the vote
of Christian county, which gave Taylor
a plurality of $50

Slow Progress In Count.

Slow progress was made in the count
of Louisville and Jefferson county to-
day, the commissioners being at work
on the Third ward when they adjourned
until tomorrow. Both sides are fighting
every inch of the ground
A number of precincts are in contro-
versy on the grounds of alleged irregu-
larities. In one such case, the Seventh
precinct of the First ward, the anti
Goebel people today secured an offer
from Judge Toney to compel the pre-
cinct officers to sign the tally sheets.
The Goebel people, however. claim the
ballot box had been opened before it
reached the county election officers. The
vote, so far as canvassed. shows little
change from the unofficial figures.
The federal grand jury. which was
adjourned over the election. reconvened
this morning, but was charged by Judge
Evans regarding election violations,
particularly with reference to the intim-
idation of colored voters. He recited
the charges which had reached the ears
of the court, and described in detail
the offenses upon which indictments
should be found

Informalities Not Fatal.

At the evening session Councilman
Romney was the only absentee. An
opinion was read fhom Assistant City
Attorney Stewart, advising that the in
formality of election judges falling to
return the registration list and poll
book is not sufficient to warrant the
boards rejection of the returns as
shown by the tally sheet.
Acting upon this advice the tally
sheet returns from district No. 2 were
taken up and canvassed without dis
covering any discrepancy.
Councilman Callister drew attention
to the fact that in nearly every instance
lected 10 comply with the law in certi-
flying their names to the poll book, en-
velope of returns or some other part
of the records or the registration agent
has failed to certify to the list of quail
flied voters, and on his motion the fact
of such omissions was noted in the can
wasting record as the canvass progress
ed
The official count of the returns from
the Fourth district showed a gain of
one vote for Hewlett. The judges of
this district reported their sustaining
of the challenges against Joseph Y.
Smith. NJ. NJ. Smith. John A. Johnson
and Amelia Johnson on account of nom
residence.
The returns from the Fifth gave
Stephens for city attorney III instead
of 172, as published last Wednesday
morning. Blakely. Thomas and Hew-
lett also lost one each and Timmony
gained one.

threw his gun aside and dashed down the
street Into the arms OF City Marshal Shar-

have no knowledge of what he had done.
On entering the saloon. Rooney stated that
he was after man who had done him a
wrong twenty years ago and who he had not

KANSAS VIEW RAILROAD Law.
Railroad Attorneys VIII Fight 1t ON
Constitutional Grounds.


Constitutional Grounds.
Topeka, Kansas, January 2.-The popu-
Est leaders OF Kansas are confronted By
serious problem. Beth branches of the
Legislature have passed railroad bill
which railroad attorneys declare is not
worth line paper 4. is written on. 1t was
announced yesterday that Governor Lecdy
had signed the bill, but 1t turns out that
he went to his home at Lawrence without
doing so. and that his failure to approve
1t Is prompted by desire to confer with
the steering committee with a view to a
change In the bill and its re- enactment
under suspension OF the rules.
The constitution gives the governor
power to assemble the legislature in extra
ordinary session when q grave emergency
demands Ii The Emergency" set forth
in Governor Leedy's call was the necessity
of railroad legislation. Now the Iegisla-
ture has passed bill which does not meet
this emergency" until the first Monday in
April next, ami one month after regular
session of the legislature shall have adj
journed.
The rei'roaGis intend to go into the courts
and fsht the new law on thl: ground and
have announced that they will carry The
matter to the supreme court of the United
States. T'hey will contend that no emery
ency exists. and that II 1t did exist the
new law would have been operative at
once. The railroads will also contend on
the grounds that the eiitle is not broad
enough to cover Its purposes.
