Heads of Big Rail Road Systems
Meet in New York.

New York, Sept. 18.-Nearly every inn
portant line throughout the west as rep
resented today at the quarterly confer~
ence of western railroad presidents held
here. E. T. jeffrey, president of the
Denver and Rio Grande, presided. Among
the matters considered by the officials
was the partial failure of a plan formu-
lated last June for appointing district
committees at such centers as st. Paul,
Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago and St.
Louis. It is probable that the unsuccess-
full attempt to organize at Glenwood
Springs. Colo, a new transcontinental
passenger association will also come up
for consideration.
The session of the officials is expected
to last two days.

Witness Swears Defendant Told Him
He Killed Goebe1.

Frankfort, KY. Sept. 1S.-The first
really sensational testimony in the trial
of James Howard, charged with having
fired the shot that killed William Goebel
was given by Bowman Gaines, a local
liveryman, and James Stubblefield, a
former deputy sheriff of Clay county.
The former identified Howard as the
man who ran out from the rear Of the
state house grounds and jumped over the
fence Immediately 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 nearby at the
time will also be introduced as a wit
ness to corroborate Gaines.
The most sensational witness, how
ever and at the same time the most inn
portant witness from the prosecutions
standpoint was James Stubblefield, a
one-legged and one-armed ex-deputy
sheriff of Clay county. Stubblefeld tes-
titled that Howard exultingly told him
that he fired the shot that took Goebel's
life.

dent. Judge Caldwell of the United

init the use of his name in this connec-
ton and Towne's candidacy is predicted
on the Judges declination. The demand
for Mr. Townes nomination is said to
come from the gold Democrats and Re
publican anti-imperalists of New Eng
land.
at is asserted that Bryan would be glad
to have Towne for a running mate. Sena-
tor Pettigrew is another supporter His
programme is to have the National Popu-
lisa Convention at Sioux Falls. S. D., May
O. adjourn without nominating leaving
the matter to a committee which would
later on indorse the Democratic ticket
named at Kansas city. If this proves
impossible he will push for the nomina-
ton of Bryan and Towne at Sioux
