struction.
The assembly is averse to losing the
power of appointment of the head of
the common school system of the state
The sentiment seems to be in favor OF
the chancellor to govern the unified
school system being elected by the senate
and assembly as the members of the
board of regents and the state superin
tendent of public instruction now are 1t
is said that Mr.. Halls was upbradcd at
the conference by certain members of the
legislature for being too lenient with the
board of regents in framing unihcation
plan. 1t was stated that the board of re-
gents was given too much in the propos
ed plan. 1t was likewise stated that the
Horton academic law. which gives the
board of regents the power to distribute
certain moneys among high schools and
academies. would be repealed. No deci
sion was reached as to the plan to be
adopted.

pearcd before the judiciary committee of
the assembly in favor of his bill to amend
the domestic relations law by abolishing
common law marriage He read from a
number of textbooks showing that the

written contract of marriage must be
signed by both parties. Mr.. Weeks may
amend his bill so as to provide that the
marriage contract must be duly acknowl'
edged before notary.
Assembyman Bryan has introduced a

Contestant For Kentucky Gov

THE SUPPOSED ASSASSIN ARRESTED
Shots Were Fired From window
In the Statehousc - Intense Ex-
citcmcpt In Frankfort-Contest
Board Votes to Unscnt Taylor.

FRANKFORT, Ky, Jan. 31.-While
walking through the capitol grounds on
his way to the capitol building at ten
minutes after IL o'clock yesterday Will
liam Goebel, the Democratic contestant
for governor of Kentucky, was shot down
and very dangerously wounded.
Harland Whitaker, u farmer from But
Ter county the home county of Governor
Taylor, is now in Jail at Louisville charg-
ed with the crime. There is no direct
evidence against Whitaker, and he was
placed under arrest more because he was
caught around the capitol building when
the shots were fired than for any other
apparent reason. He denies in the most
positive manner that he had any connec-
ton with the shooting or knew anything
about it. He was running toward the
scene of the shooting when he was ar
rested.
Senator Goebel was wounded by rifle
ball of small caliber, not over .3S, which
struck him in the right side just below
the armpit. The ball passed through the
back part Of the right lung, across the
body in a diagonal line, passing out be-
low the left shoulder blade No vital or
gans were injured with the exception of
the right lung.
Mr. Goebel was on his way to the SEN
ate chamber in company with ColoDel
Jack Chinn and Warden Eph Lillard of
the Frankfort penitentary. Mr. Lillard
was a few feet in advance of Goebel and
Chinn, who were walking side by side,
Goebel beng on the right and Chinn up
on the left.
From the outer edge of the capitol
grounds to the steps of the capitol build
ing the distance is about 300 feet. Two
thirds of this had been passed, and the

ROBERTS SHUT OUT.
House Sustains Majority Report b,
Decisiye Vote.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The case
of Brigham ii. Roberts, the Mormon rep.
resentative elect from Utah, which has
occupied so much of the attention of the
house since the assembling of congress
has been decided by the adoption OF a
resolution to exclude him by vote OF
26S to 80.
The amendment to expel Mr.. Roberts
without seating him offered by Mr.. Lacey
was ruled out on point Of order and
the house only voted upon the resolutions
of the majority and minority of the com
mittee. The latter-to seat and then ex
pei Mr.. Roberts-were defeated by a vote
of 81 to 244.

men were walking slowly, when suddenly
a shot rang out from IA large three story
building which stands 30 feet east of the
capitol building. This building is used
for offices by nearly all the leading Off
gals of the state, Governor Taylor and
Che secretary of state having rooms on
the first floor. AS the shot was heard
Goebel gave a quick, involuntary excla-
nation OF pain and made an effort to
draw his own revolver. His strength
was unequal to the task, however, and he
sank upon the pavement. With great
rapidty several more shots were fired,
the bullets striking the brick sidewalk
close to where Goebel lay. None of them
touched him, however.
In less than minute a crowd OF men
was around Goebel. He was losing much
blood and was becoming very weak He
was hastily carried to the Office of DR..
Il. e. Hume, in the basement of the Capt.
tol hotel, about 1000 feet from the spot
where the shooting occurred. Here he
was laid on a sofa, while DR.. Hume made
hasty examination, pronouncing the
wound to be of a nature that must cause
death in short time. Goebel, who show
ed great fortitude and courage through
out, smiled weakly as he heard the ver-
diet and feebly rolled his head from side
