absolutely inaccessible to outsiders, and
to friends even was silent as a sphynx.

Frankfort, KY, March 21.-The report
that special trains would be run from
various mountain counties to bring
crowds here Friday, the day set for the
evaurining trial of Caleb Powers, John
Davis and W. S. CultOn, charged with
bs.nr accessories to the GOebel assas-

General John y. Castleman arrived here
tonight in response to a telegram from
Governor Reckham, and conference
ef the Democratic leaders was held,
lasting several hours. Local railroad
mon were called in and asked concern
ing the report thai crowds would be
brought here, but what information
WAS gained from them on this point is
not known.
County Attorney Polsgrove spent the

Wharton Golden. The latter has not

side but the prosecution are expecting
him to come here Friday without a
summons.

speeches, beginning at $3.50 in the
morning at Sterling, then at II O'Clock
at Ephraim, with a third at 4 o'clock in
Fountain Green, and during the even
ing at MOrOni, were astonishing. When
} 1t is considered that one of these was
practically in joint debate, with both
! Candidate Hammond and Attorney
/ George sutherland against him, his eff
/ fort was indeed surprising.
In the little town of Fountain Green,
/ the little stronghold of Republicanism,
/ where, of about $50 voters, only fifty
/ were Democratic in the last election,
the two. candidates for congress met.
MIR. Hammond and Mr.. Sutherland
talked from 2 o'clock until and Judge
King arrived in time to hear the last
! part Of Mr.. Sutherland's address, which
dwelt chiefly upon the Porto Rican
tariff bill and expansion, which he
would not call Imperialism.
Come up to the mourners bench. -
said he, as Judge King entered the
door,
"Oh, when you repent of your past
, political sins 1 will follow" exclaimed
Judge King, from the back of the hall,
| and the crowd eheered at the auickness
| Of the repartee.
Played By King.
When he was given the floor before
the same audience, Judge King took
up Mr.. HammonG's statements, one af-
ter another, and tore so many holes in
them that even his Republican audi
ence cheered heartily.
He took up the Republican orator s
argument on the currency bill and tore
it to tatters, showing that Mr.. Ham,
mOnd either did not understand the bill
or had purposely withheld facts about
IT. With a copy OF the Congressional
Record, containing the speech of the
author of the bill, Congressman Jesse
Overstreet, in his hand, he showed that
the law was the death knell of both the
free coinage of silver and of interna-
tional bimetallism. Mr.. Hammond's
statement that it favored bimetallism
seemed ridiculous by contrast.
The two Republican orators could rot
stay to hear the speech, but rushed on
to Gunnison.
A Busy Day.
Judge Kings campaign began early
in the morning. He drove nine miles
to Sterling from Gunnison, and arriving
at $3.50, found an audience of sixty peo-
pie, half the voters Of the town, await
ing him in the little brick school house.
He spoke for an hour and then drove
fourteen miles to Ephraim, where 900
We're gathered at II O'clock in the opera
house. Mr.. Hammond on Tuesday had
spoken to an audience there Of $50.
Judge King talked right through the
noon hour and drove rapidly to the
Sanpete Valley train without even
stopping for lunch. He went on to
Fountain Green.
Reception at Moroni.
There was a magnificent audience 70
meet the Democratic nominee at the
Moroni Opera House this evening. Mr..
Hammond. who spoke earlier in the
day, had fifty listeners. Judge King
had 200, and third of them couldenot
find seats. The speech was quite diff
terent from most campaign effusions
IL was of tone far above Mr.. Ham
mend's ability.
Why, he seems like a college pro
fessor historian, a statesman and a
politician combined" said Jim Chris
Jensen, chairman of the Democratic

rich before the law, it is now the. other
way, as far as the corporate property
Of the rich is concerned. The courts
are so constituted that they seem IN
able to give equal protection to prop
erty."
For reform, Mr.. Mayer suggested
hrst, uniformity in corporation laws of
dl1erent states; second, that the cor
polatlons be given every power that
al. lIIulVlduaI or association Of indi-
viduals possesses; third, that national
incorporation act be passed and that
the constitutional amendment probably
necessary for this be provided: and
fourth, that the methods by which DO
htical conventions create judges be
changed.

WOULD WIPE OUT STAIN.
Citizens Of Kentucky Want to Re-
trieve States Reputation

Lexington March 2l.-A meeting was
held here today, attended by leading
citizens of this city and surrounding
cities. The object was 20 put on foot a
Don-partisau move, looking toward ac-
ton 10 retrieve the reputation OF Ken
lucky and obliterate the reputation the
present complicated state Of affairs and
aciG leading t. them have given it.
a similar move is on foot in Louis
vile and CovingtOn. So far the work
is being done with more OF less secrecy.
il was decided today to issue an ad-
dress to all counties in the state, call
ing conventions TO select delegates on
April 20 to Q state convention 10 be

this nothing definite was done.

of the prison. Thereupon the witness
said colored soldier who was on guard
on the outside showed his bdyOnet at
the protruding fingers, infiicting a
bloody wound.
a copy of the permit required of those
seeking work in the Occur d'Alene dis
trict was introduced. It recited at
length the facts concerning the holder;
that he was not a member of a union,
and that he took an oath to obey the
law. The witness said he had not ia
ken out a permit, regarding it as a
badge of servitude and un-American
to require an oath to obey the law.
representative Jet made the point
that the law presumed that q citizen
oheyed the law until otherwise proved.
The crOSs-examination was directed
to showing that the permit system was
designed TO secure an orderly force of
WOrkmen in the mines. The witness
maintained, however, that its effect
was to blacklist those who did not take
out a permit and also to make an
"oligarchy or aristOcracy'' of those in
control of the permit system. He said
the class of miners had deteriorated
under the system so that now women
did not take the night trains as many
drunken men carrying dirks in their
belts were on board.
Warrants of Arrest.
Representative Lentz produced a
form of warrant, which the witness
identified as the one in general use. 1t
was in typewTiting with blank spaces
for the insertion of names, and direct
ed that the person named be taken and
held for violating the proclamation OF
the governor of Idaho declaring mar
tial law and the rules and regulations
Of the military district established

W. r. Shields. a commercial traveller,
testified to being at st. Regis, Mont.
some distance from the Occur d'Alene
trouble, when a miner named Francis
was placed under arrest by soldiers.
Shields said the towns people stated
that Francis had worked there for
many months, including the time of the
riot, but he was nevertheless arrested
and taken to the pen The witness
also testified-to the harshness OF the SOL
diers. A recess was then taken until
2:30 p. m.
When the committee recOnveDed Mr..
Lentz asked that Bartlett Sinclair take
the stand Mr. Sinclair is the official
appointed by Governor Steunenberg to
take charge of affairs in the Occur
d'Alene district, and his name has been
most frequently used during the course
of the investigation.
Chairman Hull said Mr.. Sinclair could
not be called at this point, as the COM
mittee had heretofore determined to
hear all witnesses to support the
charges and there were several yet TO
be heard. An animated discussion fol-
lowed. Mr.. .5ulzer declared that the
minority would not proceed further if
the committee insisted on calling Mr..
Young instead of Mr.. Sinclair at this
time.
Mr.. Capron Of Rhode Island charac-
teriZed this as a threat.
BY vote of 8 to the committee de-
cided not to call Mr. Sinclair as q wit
ness for the prosecution.
Mr.. Sulzer thereupon announced that
the prosecution would rest its case.
This cleared the way for the opening of
the defense, but as the hour was late
the committee adjourned until tomor-
row morning, when il is expected Gov
