Fired From the Secretary
of States Room.

GEORGETOWN, KY, Aug. 1.-THE trial
of ex-Secretary Of State Caleb Powers to-
day developed that both sides in the cases
are dealing extensively In contradition
and impeachment of some of the wit
nesses who have testified in the case.
The most important testimony heard to-
day was given by Corporal Milt Trosper,
of the military company at Barboursville,
of which Caleb Powers brother John was
captain. Trosper gave testimony indi-
eating that the shot Which killed Gov.
Goebel was fired from the third story of
the executive building, and not from the
secretary of states Office, which is on the
first floor.
room, looking out Of window toward
the executive building, when the shoot
ing occurred. He saw a window on the
third floor of the executive building
raised, he heard the shots and saw
smoke, but could not see either man or
gun. Witness did not go up into the ex-
ecutive building where he saw smoke
coming from for over an hour after the
shooting. He claimed that he found two
boxes one upon the other, near the win
dow he had noticed when the shots were
fired. Cross-examined, the witness said
he was member Of John Powers mill
tary company. The latter sent for him
on Jan. "a and told him he had orders
from Gov. Taylor to bring his military
company to Frankfort. Witness was
afraid trouble might come up over the
soldiers going in this manner and pre-

regularity about him. Witness did no
military service at Frankfort until i'm
mediately after the assassination. John
Powers met him and told him to get his
gun, which he did.
The defense further sought to contra
dict w. H. Culton by introducing two
witnesses who testified that Culton told
them that he had an agreement with the
prosecution by which he was not to be
confined in jail. Culton, on the stand, de-
MED that he ever made such statement,
and it was also proved that he has been
ctAfined in jail since his examining trial.

MUST eve Quotations
AN IMPORTANT DECISION c1vrx
OUT AT KANSAS CITY
YESTERDAY
ARE OF A PUBLIC NATURE
Western Union and Postal TeIe-
graph Companies Restrained From
Withholding Chicago Board of
Trade Grain Quotations,


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. fudge
John Henry, in the circuit court today
granted the Christie Street Commission
company and the Brokerage Grain COM
pany, both of this city, a permanent in
junction restraining the Western Union
and the Postal Telegraph companies from
disseminating the sending OF grain quota
tions to complainants.
In his decision Judge Hencv held that
the Quotations" of the Chicago Board OF
Trade are impressed with public interest,
and that telegraph companies handling
such quotations must deliver them to
commission companies that desire them,
whether they be sent by parties operat-
Ing leased lines or be contained in private
kilograms. Judge Henry held that, being
of public nature, these quotations could
not be converted to private use, TO the
exclusion of the public; that they had be-
come interviewer in the grain and stock
trade of the entire Western ana North
western portions of the United States, and
that the knowledge of them had become
so essential to dealers in agricultural
products that, deprived of that informa-
ton, the thousands of dealers would be
compelled to go out of business. The re-
suit would be, the court held, the con-
version of the Chicago Board of Trade
into the most gigantic monopoly in the
world.
Separate suits were filed last week by
Harkless, O'Grady & Crysler, represent
ing the Christie Street company and the
Brokerage Grain company. The suits
We're consolidated and set for hearing to-
day, when arguments were heard.

MISS CHAMBERS CHARGES.
Alleges That Army Medical System
in Philippines Is Defective.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Miss Margaret
Astor Chanler, of New Yorl., has for
warded from Manila to the secretary OF
war a severe criticism of the army's med
ical system in the Philippines, alleging
that there is a lack of surgeons, lack OF
rurses, lack of medical supplies. including
such articles as sheets, and asking that
SIC be allowed 800 sheets for emergency
distribution. A copy Of Miss CHAMBERS
criticism has been forwarded to Mrs.
Cowles, the sister of Gen. Roosevelt, and
to several officials and individuals of
prominence.
Secretary Root referred Miss CHAMBERS
letter to Surgeon General Sternberg, who
has been making a thorough inquiry into
the various points raised. He has COM
pleted today and submitted to Mr.. Root
what is regarded as a complete refutation
of the arraignment of the medical service
in general and of the specific points of ar
raignment made by Miss Chanler.
The correspondence has not been made
out but it is understood to be of rather
spirited character. From the standpoint
Of the medical Office here, Miss Chambers
criticism loses much of its force from the
fact that it was written only two days
after she arrived at Manila. 1t Is said
this shows the lack of that nature judg-
ment and knowledge of fact that long
observation would have given The rec
ords of the war department have been
brought forward to show that many Of
Miss Chambers specific charges lack
ground. The records are said to disclose
repeated kilograms from Gen. Sternberger
to the authorities at Manila asking them
how many nurses and doctors they
required. and to give early notice Of their
requirements, in order that all needs
might be met properly. 1t is said that
practically the same showing was made
as to supplies. Miss CHAMBERS specific
criticism on the lack of sheets and her
appeal for 500 sheets to meet pressing
needs is considered unaccountable, in view
of the almost lavish provisions which are
said to have been made.
Secretary Roots disposition of Miss
Chambers charges has not been made
known, as he now has before him the
original letter from Manila, and Surgeon
General Sternberg's comprehensive rejo.n-
der.
