B1RER-HOWARD TRIAL,
One of the Defendants Turns States Evil
dence-Sew Indictment Found.

MANCHESTER. Ky. June GA new indlct-
mcnt was found by the Clay county Grand
Jury to-day charging Tom. Dee and Wiley
Baker with the murder OF Wilson How
ard and Burch Stores and wounding A.
Howard. The former indictment charged
Tom Baker. Dee Baker. Jim Baker and
Jesse Barrett and Charles Wooten with
having committed the crime. but last night
Barrett turned States evidence and the jury
made out a new indictment on his testimony.
This caused the arrest of Wiley Baker and the
release OF Charles Wooten and jim Baker. and
great excitement followed the findings.
The Bakers and their friends, when they
heard Of the turn in affairs refused to go to
court unless Judge Cook rescnded the order
that they be searched before entering the court
yard. This was not done. however. and court
convened ut O'Clock. ATTORNEY Little. counsel
for thu Bakers. asked tor change OF venue.
and it is more than likely that this will be
granted. because the feeling il so bitter on
sihc oven with the battalion OF State
guard to keep tn" peace. The former attempt
to try Tom Baker with State militia to protect
tn" court was failure. and the indications are
that this will also be as futile.
The confession OF Jesse barrett, on which
the new indictment was brought. is QueS-
toned by the friends Of the Bakers. They
say he has had falling out with Tom Baker
and did this in order to get himself and Charles
Wootan out Of the scrape The Towards and
the Whites are backed by political influences.

They cut through the plaster and pine board

Queen-Proposed Restriction on Rifles.

SpeClut taOle DeSpufH 10 Ink DUN.
THE HAGUE. June 9.-There was only short
meeting Of tho Arbitration Section Of the Peace
Conference to-day Most OF the delegates went
to Rotterdam to which city the Queen and tho
Queens mother were paying their first visit
since the coronation ceremonies The city was
crowded with visitors. and the Queens recep-
ton was very enthusiastic. A number OF bou-
quets were presented to her by school children
and pupils in the orphanages. who also sere-
naded her. The officers OF several public and
benevolent institutions and the City Council
entertained the Queen at luncheon. The
Burgomaster toasted the Queen. who replied
in brief speech expressing her best wishes
for the welfare OF Rotterdam.
Concerning the Disarmament Committee It
is learned that after the rejection of the Rus
sian proposal 10 prohibit the adoption of new
rifles for a period OF ten years Jonk heer den
Beer poortugael OF Holland submitted pro-
posal to restrict the period to five years and
limit the improvement OF the existing system.
There was no real decision upon this proposal
for many OF the delegates abstancd from vot-
ing Thereupon the Dutch delegate who sub
mitted the proposal delivered speech plead
ing for a conventional restriction from both
political and economical points Of view The
speech was loudly approved. 1t was decided to
communicate with all OF the Governments in
the hope that at a later conference. which is
probable, the new proposal will be accepted

vent further erroneous publications in thu

1t is evident that the permanent arbitration
tribunal scheme is in no wise unanimously
favored. Several OF the delegates severely
criticise the plan. creating the presumption
that they intend to defeat it,
