Powers May Lead to Trouble.
Frankfort, KY, March 12.-Secretary
of State Caleb Powers and Capt. John
W. Davis, two alleged suspects, for
whom warrants were issued Friday
night, have not been arrested. They
are said to be in the executive building
of the state capitol, and the soldiers
guarding the building have refused to
allow the police to enter the building
to search for them. 1t was rumored
around the streets two or three hours
before the police went to the Davis res
idence Friday night to look for them.
Warrants had been issued, and they
got wind of it and took shelter in the
house. The police made a second de-
mand to be allowed entrance to
the executive building Saturday MORN
ing, but guards said they had
orders not to admit anyone. They
declined to say who gave the or
ders. Gov. Taylor and Adjt. Gen. Col
lier sent no answer to two messages
sent to them by the police. It is re-
ported that Gov. Taylor has issued Or
ders for all state guards who recog-
nlze him as. governor to come to the
state capitol at once, and stirring
times are apparently not far away
Shut Out of State House.
At 10:30 a. m. Sheriff Suffer took
the warrants for the arrest of Secre-
tary of State Powers and Capt. Davis
to the state house and was admitted
to see Adjt. Gen. Collier. He informed
Gen. Collier that he desired to enter
the executive building for the purpose
of serving the warrants, and in the
name of the commonwealth demand
ed that he be permitted to do So Gen.
Collier refused, saying that, acting
under orders from Gov. Taylor, no.
body would be admitted to the exec
utive building for an indefinite pc
riod.
Sheriff Swearing in Deputies.
There is report that Gov. TAYLOR
and other republican state officials will
leave for London. The police lined up
on Broadway in front of the state
house Saturday, but they made no
decisive move after being twice re-
fused entrance to the building for the
purpose OF arresting Secretary of
State Powers and Mr.. Davis. Sheriff
Suffer at noon began swearing in
big force of deputies to aid in arrest
ing Powers and Davis, who are sup
posed to be under the protection of
the militia in the state house.
Say They Will Surrender.
Capt. Steve Sharpe, of Lexington,
ex-state treasurer, came out of the
governors Office at 1880. He said:
'Messrs. Powers and Davis will surren-
der in few hours. They simply waited
until they could communicate by wire with
their attorneys, who advised them to give
up. The only reason they had not pre-
viously surrendered was because they
wished to avoid public arrest and being
