AT FRANKFORT
DEFENSE WILL CLAIM AN ALIBI
Will Endeavor to Prove That the
Defendant Was Two Squares
Away at the Time of
the killing.

FRANKFORT, KY, Sept 1S--The pros
ecution concluded its direct testimony in
the case of James Howard this afternoon.
Ben Rake, a stable boy, corroborated
Bowman Gaines as to seeing Howard run
from the rear of the state house grounds
shortly after the shooting.
James F. Daley and R. O. Armstrong
testified to seeing Howard standing on
the steps of the executive building later
that morning.
W. H. Culton, one of the alleged con-
spirators, went over his former testimony,
which indirectly affected Howard He
claimed that Howard exhibited cartridges
to him, and also pointed significantly to
a broken paling of the fence Culton said
he asked Howard what he meant by this.
and the latter told him mot to ask so
many damn fool questions This was
the afternoon of Jan 80 Cuiton also said
the day after@the shooting Youtsey came
into the secretary of states office. He
had just received his salary as a clerk
in the auditors Office, and laid 1t down,
saying: "I am going to take the num-
ber OF these bills. 1 am likely to be ar
rested, and if this money is taken from
me 1 want to have some sort Of a mem
orandum for it."
Culton said he asked Youtsey what he
expected to be arrested for. Youtsey
said:
''well never mind. I am likely to be
arrested
DEFENDANTS COUNSEL FINED.
During the examination of witnesses this
afternoon Col T. c. Campbell called on
the court for protection from "the insult
ing insinuations," as he termed refer
ence made to him by Maj. Owens, of
the defense, and added: This is no time
or place for Maj. Owens to attempt to
heap insults on me. He knows the prop
er time. If he desires to say such things
to me, is outside the court room" The
court imposed a fine of IS against Maj.
Owens, of the defense.
The defendant will take the stand as
the first witness in his own behalf He
claims an alibi, and the attorneys for the
defense say they will bring overwheIm-
ing proof that Howard was standing in
front of the Board of Trade hotel, two
squares away from the scene of the trag-
edy. when the shooting occurred.

STATES GENERAL OPENED
QUEEN WILHELMINA's sPEECE
CNNSERVATIXE

THE HAGUE, Sept. 1S.-The states
general were opened today by Queen Will
helmina, who was accompanied by the
queens mother. In the speech from the
throne her majesty referred to the con-
tinued friendly relations with foreign
countries, with the exception of China,
and mentioned that the conventions of
the peace conference had been ratified
by almost all the powers. The queen also
said Il hope the international bureau
of the arbitration tribunal will shortly be
established here and that it will fulfill
the end for which it was founded by as
sisting more Jeaceful settlement of the
differences between nations, as a work
of Importance which cannot be too highly
rated
The only direct reference to the South
African war and the Chinese troubles
were her majesty's mention of the two
deplorable events neeessitating the
presence of Netherlands warships for the
protection of Ho!landers.
Her majesty pronounced the finances of
the country to be in a satisfactory con-
dition, but said further taxation measures
were necessary, principally to cover the
cost CT compulsory education.

SECOND DAY Of STRIKE
LIST OF TIED-UP COLLIERIEs IN
THE ANTHRACITE DISTRICT
INCREASES
STRIKERS REMAIN ORDERLY
Only Triding Cases OF Violence or
Intimidation Are Reported
Price of Coal Ad-
vancing.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept 1S.-The
leader OF the strike says at the end of
the second day that 118,O01 of the i41, 1,0OO
mine workers in the anthracite coal fields
are idle. No representative of the mine
operators makes a statement for their
side of the matter, but individual mine
owners dispute the strikers figures, say
ing there are more men at work than the
urlfcn leaders will admit
The first advance in the price If ccaI
as a result of the strike was made by
the Philadelphia & Reading company to-
day, 25 cents per ton being added. This
advance was promptly met by the local
dealers, who increased the price to con-
sumers so cents a ton. A cloud appears
on the otherwise peaceful horizon i'll the
shape OF a report from Harrisburg that
litter feeling is developing between the
UNION and noIi- union mel: in the I.ylens
district, ecated in the upper end of Dau-
9hsn county, and ii. feyf 1s.. about 2.SgJ

Lehigh Coal and Navigation company III

will hereafter work ten hours a day,
with a consequent increase IN earnings
These men were sunorga aa;zed, and had not
presented any grievances.
MINES ABANDONED.
True to it's declaration made before
the strike was ordered. the Philadelphia
& Reading company today brought it's
mules to the surfaces in two mines near
Shamokin tina, had been closed by the
strike and announced that they were per-
naHantIy abaraoned. This action makes
it tglect ssary for the mine s who formerly
worked in these collierics to seek work
elsewhere.
The action of the 400 or more employees
of the West End Coal company, at Mo-
canaqua, near Wilkesbarre, in sticking to
their work, stands out prominently as the
busy feature of an otherwise idle terri
tory. They say they have no grievance,
have always received kindly treatment
from their employers, and therefore re
sist every effort to induce them to strike
Father Phillips, the Catholic priest, who
has been an interesting figure in the
strike both before and after, made a
statement to the public tonight, present
ing an argument in behalf of arbitration,
and urging both sides to get together
