Powers Held to Grand Jury.

Frankfort, KY, March 29.-The
fourth day of the examining trial of
Republican Secretary of State Caleb
Powers began with the court room
cleared of all people, excepting attor-
neys, newspaper correspondents and
officers of the court.
The attorneys for the defense held a
consultation and afterwards called
County Attorney Polsgrove.
The pardon issued to Powers by
Governor Taylor was rendered by ex-
Governor Brown as a bar to the prose-
cution and he asked that the defendant
be dismissed.
Colonel Campbell said the common
wealth denied Governor Taylor's right
to issue pardon at the time the par
don was granted. Governor Brown
moved that the prisoner be dismissed
upon the evidence. The motion was
overuled. Bail was asked for Judge
Moore said:
1T Is not my belief that Powers
fired the shot which killed Goebel, but
from the evidence, it is my opinion he
was connected with the conspiracy to
kill him. | shall, therefore, order that
he be handed without bail to the
Franklin county grand jury, that the
case NAV be further investigated

THE DANISH WEST INDIES.
Frances Claim of an Option Would
be of no Avail.
RUMoRS ARE CONTRADICTORY.

Washington, March 29.-The state,
the Danish government intends to in
troduce bill at present in the Danish
parliament providing for the sale to
the United States of the islands of St.
Thomas and st. Croix. The opinion
prevails here that if any such measure
is introduced at this stage, it will be
through the independent action of
some persons not directly connected
with the government of Denmark. The
reason for this belief is found in the
fact that the negotiations which have
been in progress by the two govern
ments in rather indefinite fashion for
some time past, have not yet reached a
stage where legislative action would
seem to be necessary. 1T is said that
our government knows of no interest
superior to its own in connection with
the transfer of title to these Danish
West Indian islands. and if some other
government has, through previous
negotiations, secured what it regarded
as an option on the islands, the same
would be of no avail as against the
pre-eminent rights of the United States
should our government incline to the
purchase of the islands and the Danish
! government be willing to sell at all.
London, March ga dispatch to
the Exchange Telegraph company from
Paris says the sale of the Danish

Copenhagen, March 29.-Nothing is

of the Danish Antilles to the United
! States has been practically COMPLETED.

A full human voice, speaking in the

at distance of 460 feet; a powerful
human voice, speaking in an observ-
able breeze with the wind, is audible

band, 15,840 feet; a drum 10,560 feet;
very heavy canonading ninety miles.
Conversation has been maintained
over water a distance of 6,696 feet in
the arctic regions. The velocity OF
sound in gases increases with the tenn
perature; in air this increase is about
two feet per second for each degree,
centigrade. The velocity of sound in
fresh water at temperature of fifteen
degrees, centigrade, is ALA feet per
second, as determined by experiments
made in the Lake of Geneva in 1927
In air it moves at the rate of about
1,090 feet per second.

IA par.a,.. for wa.h.rvomsn..

Sergt. Wilson, of the Howitzer Bat
terry, writes from Modder river to his
parents at Northampton: I'VE bathe
now every day and wash our own
clothes. Like the poor ledger Dickens
wrote about, we go half naked while
we swill our shirts. This would be a
paradise for washerwomen with the
sun shining and wind blowing nearly
every day. Our things are dry to put
on a few minutes after they are
washed. That is the one remarkable
thing about the climate. You may get
soaked to the skin and go to sleep
in the open air all night, but in the
morning you wake up as fresh as a

"a the Potato overdOner

One eminent authority on cooking,
who has issued several books upon
the subject, calls for crusade against
the potato. 1t is, she holds, an over
estimated vegetable. Certainly there
is something odd in the place it has
taken in the domestic economy. There
are other vegetables quite as cheap
and quite as palatable, that might at
least occasionally be offered in its
place. But still the potato triumphs.
1t has become a sort of superstition
How many times have children who
did not like. potatoes been made to
eat them? And they are not par
ticularly valuable article of food
either.

my boys entirely, and now 1 have three

Some Curious Facts.

1t is a curious fact, brought out n
Prof. McKim's new book on heredity,
that 26S people to the thousand are
morbidly afraid of cows. There was
an English dog fancier who had set
ter, which "set" a passing ship. In
vestigation showed that the captain OF
the merchantmen had shot a brace Of
ducks as he sailed into the harbor.
The setter smelled those ducks across
a mile of water and through a wall Of
oak. But we can beat that record.
We can produce an example of smell
ing ''errancy'' across 700 miles of land
where there is none McKim says there
are 203 people to the thousand who
are morbidly afraid of ghosts. We

Washington, March 2S.-Representa-
tives OF the Pottawatomie Indians were
before the house committee on Indian
affairs to urge the submission to the
court of claims of claims made by these
Indians to valuable land in Illinois
fronting on Lake Michigan, and said
to include the Chicago lake front. The
contention is that the Indians who
originally occupied this soil never sur
rendered the fishing and hunting
rights, and that these cover the accre-
tions between the old survey line and
the present water line. The attorneys
for the Indians were heard and the
attorneys for number of private in-
terests affected will be heard.
