GOT MEAT AND MONEY
JIM HOWARD'S ALLEGED REMARK
AFTER GOEBEL WAS SHOT.
witness Says Howard Admitted the
Killing-HOvard Identified as the
Mon Who Jumped the Fence.

FRANKFORT. Ky, Sept 1.-THE first
really sensational testimony in the trial of
James Howard. charged. with having fired
the shot that killed William Goebel, was
given to-day by Bowman Gaines. a local
liveryman. and James Stubblefield, a for
mer deputy sheriff of Clay county. The
former identified Howard as the man who
ran out from the rear of the S~tatehouse
grounds and jumped over the fence. imme-
diately after the shooting. Gaines was
positive in his Identification of the prisoner
as the man, and said the latter then wore
a mustache, and was followed by a man
who was tall and slender. A boy who was
near by at the time will be introduced as
a witness to corroborate Gaines.
The most sensational witness, however,
and at the same time the most important
witness from the prosecutors standpoint,
was James Stubblefield, a one-legged n
one-armed ex-deputy sheriff of Clay coun-
~. Stubblefield testified that Howard ex-
ultingly told him that he fired the shot
that took Goebel's life. Stubblefield lost his
last year. His testimony in detail was that
Howard stopped at his house in February,
shortly after the shooting. Shortly after
he came in, Stubbleheld says. he remarked
to him: Jim. you all have been having
trouble down at Frankfort"
Yes" responded Howard. according to
the witness, I'VE have raised HI and
cleaned the platter and added: IL never
sight down my barrel but what L get meat
or money, and this time / got BOTH"
The witpess said Howard was again at
his house several days later, and he asked
what he meant by his remarks on the for
mer occasion Howard responded: by
Cd, / meant just what ! said" Wit
ness said he then pressed him., put
ting the direct question: Jim, do you
mean TO say that you killed Goebel?"
Howard, he says, responded in the affirma-
tive, and said he believed his mountain
friends would stand by him, and that five
hundred men could not take him to Frank
fort for trial. Stubblefield said he did not
tell the story of Towards confession to
him till he heard that Howard and his
friends were planning to kill him..
The defense subjected the witness to a
severe cross examination, but failed 10
tangle him TO any extent.

Many Miners, 1t Is Said. Feared to Go
to Work Yesterday.

WILKESBARRE. Pa, Sept. 17.-Every
mine in the Wyoming valley. with the ex-
ception of one. was closed to-day by the
miners strike. The exception was the
colliery operated by the West End Coal
Company at Mocanaqua. The men there
refused to go out, saying they were salts
fled with the present condition of things.
The total number of men idle in this val
ley is a little over g, 1000. The operators
say many men who had intended to go to
work were inundated and rather thar run
the risk of being Knocked at and probably
assaulted they remained at home. One
operator said this feeling of fear would de-
crease in a few days and then there would
be any number of applicants for work.
A Hungarian who attempted TO go TO
work in the Woodward mine of the Lacka-
wanna Company was set Upon by some of
his countrymen and badly beaten. The at
tention of the officials of the company has
been called to the matter. and they saw
that tomorrow they will nave a number of
special officers sworn in to protect those
who want TO go TO work. Sidney Bryant,
an engineer at Bryant's colliery, Luzerne
borough, says that while on his way to
work he was attacked by foreigners. who
pointed a pistol at his head and threatened
TO shoot him if he did not return home. Not
being armed, he could offer no resistance.
and took the advice of his assailants and
went home.
From present indications there will be
no mines in the valley in operation to-mor-
row. and the United Mine Workers will
make a strong effort TO close the colIiery at
M0canaqua.

CUTS NOT WIDESPREAD
AND CHAIRMAN GODDARD SAYS THE
PRACTICE HAS BEEN STOPPED.
A Consolidation of the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois and Cotton Belt
Expecfed-GeneraI Notes

Freight agents of the trunk lines are
much interested in the prospective results
OF the conference last week. at which
means were considered for the prevention
of a Generalization In freight rates in
trunk-Iine territory 1t appears now that
the matter was rather more serious than
outsiders were led TO believe. The quota
lions of reduced rates. emanating at first,
il is said, from the Lake Erie & Western,
had gradually affected almost all the prom
inent central freight lines. Such rates,
according TO one OF the agents, were
quoted by the Pere Marquette, the Mich
igan Central, the Grand Trunk and other
lines via Cincinnati. Some Of the agents
believe tina if the disturbance had been
permitted 10 run its course, trunk-line
rates would have become demoralized in
side of six weeks. Chairman Goddard,
of the Trunk-line Association. when asked
about the present status Of this matter,
said: 1T is true that some of the West
ern lines have been monkeying' with the
rates, but 1 do not think that these cuts
have been quite as widespread as some
people would tsy TO make one believe. But,
however this may nave been. 1t is GER
tain that an effective stop has been put
to these practices" This statement of the
chairman applied only to west-bound rates.
AT a meeting of the Central Freight Asso-
citation on Sept. 5 an attempt was made TO
check rate-cutting in e~ast-bound ship

SHORTAGE OF $40, o
A Chicago Bank Teller's Reason for
Committing Suicide.

CHICAGO, Sept. IA shortage of 500
in the accounts of the First National Bank
was discovered to-day through an investi-
CATION prompted by the suicide of Teller
George s. Forbes. Before the bank teller
sent a bullet into his heart yesterday he
wrote a farewell note to his mother. in
which he said:
II was weak, and let the one I consid-
cred my best friend get me into trouble /
have not seen him since the LIST Of Septem-
Der, and do not know where he is"
Officials of the bank now believe that the
friend referred to in the letter is William
B. Dunton. Dunton and Forbes were both
employed by the Union National Bank at
the time that institution was taken into the
First National. ID. r. Forger, president of
the Union National, and now president of
the First National, to-day said: when
the Union was taken into the First Ma
tional each of the clerks was ordered to
send out statements Of individual accounts
to each of our correspondents for confirma-
ton. We now find that all were correct
save the business handled by Dunton. Our
investigation of the books to-day shows a
shortage of $20,0 00. Dunton did not have
access 10 the books, and TO keep him from
showing his peculations must have had an
accomplish" Dunton is being looked for.
