GATHERING De 7HE Clans

At ErauIfof both pfanehsl o the
LseiSintdts VIII be IN Session 10
day; and the llain Question e as 70
who win Preside Over tie Senate.
FRANKFORT. KY. Feb. ls.-llany
Of the Democratic Legislators returned
here tonight and numeraus confer
ences wero in progress during the eyen-
ing relating to the political programme
tomorrow, when the Democratic and
Republican branches Of the Legislature
win meet together for the first tins
since the assassination Of Gcebel. The
question Of whether Lieutenant Cover
nor Marshall CRepublicanl, or RresI-
dent pro tom Carter (nemocrat), will
preside In the senate tomorrow, Is as
Wide open tonight as ever. The DEM
ocratIc leaders say Senator Carter will
preside. Lieutenant Governor Marshall
Is not here tonight but before leaving
the city last night he stated positively
that he would return Monday and I'M
sist upon tis right to preside, The Re-
publican leaders assert positively to-
night, that he win preside. Neither
side goes farther than these bare state
ments. =
Governor Taylor went to church to-
day without a military escort and spent
the remainder of the day at the mansion
with his family.
Governor BsckhaIn returned to the
city tonight with The Democratic legis-
lators and win have his headquarters
at the Capitol hotel. Messrs. Justus and
Arthur Goebel. brother Of the late
Democratic governor. also returned. ana
viii remain here TN the body Of their
dead brother is finally buried. The
body stlll lies in the little chapel in thn
cemetery. the relatives having been
slow to determine the exact spot Of
burial.
The question Of reopening the contest
over the sovernorship by presenting
resolutions in both houses ratifying the
action taken by the Democratic leglsia-
tors on two occasions declaring Goehel
governor, was favcrably discussed by
some of the Democratic members to-
night. They say this would not be a
concession that the former proceedings
were illegal, but would probably put an
end to tho controversy sooner. The
matter has not been decided on officIai-
ly but majority OF the members who
are outspoken on the matter expressed
themselves as opposed to reopening the
matter in any form. They will abide by
the decision of the party managers
however, and there may be some refer
ence TO 1t. in the session Of the legIsla-
ture Tomorrow.

The slot-Machine Question

To the Editor OF the Inteligencer.
SIR:-The slot machine question is
not settled, and there is only one con-
dItion on which this question can be
satisfactorily settled to the good clti-
gems. of Wheeling, and that is that the
law against them be enforced. The
wheeling officials seem to take light
view OF the question. but there are
other officials in the cities larger than
this who have taken so serious a view
Of this form of gambling as to say the
slot machine must go, and from scores
of cities they have gone.
The state excise commissioner OF New
York, in his report to the legislature,
devotes paragraph to the slot ma
chine evil. He says: 'This form Of

was early apparent that these gambling
devices were doing great injury. School
children were allowed to enter saloons
and allowed to gamble. Many very
poor men and women, often with needy
families, were feeding their money to

At the conclusion of the preliminary
hearing Saturday afternoon, Squire
Rogers dismissed the charge of murder
preferred against George Hunt on ac-
count of insufficient evidence to sub
stantlate the charge. The result was
not unexpected, us many witnesses
showed that Hunt acted in selt-defense,
and that Harvey Wells was the aggres-
sor. 1t was not clearly determined,
either. that the wound inflicted by Hunt
last November, was the cause of the
death of Wells on February TO-.
Throughout the hearing, Hunt main
talned his composure. but after Squire
Rogers spoke the words that released
him, the young man broke down. He
win likely resume his duties as teacher
Of the Valley Grove school to-day.
