Arraens Him for Refusal to Honor Re


Frankfort. KY, Nov, 12.-Governor
Beckham last night addressed to Gov
ernor Durbin, OF Indiana, letter re-
plying to the criticism of that execu-
tive of the courts and officials of Ken
lucky in a recent letter refusing to
honor the requisition for Taylor and
Finley, wanted for alleged completely
in the assassination of Governor Goe.
bel. He severely arraigns Durbin for
his refusal, charging that in doing so
he violated mis- oath of office to sup
port the constitution of the United
States and he has become party af-
ter the fact to the most infamous
crime in the history of this state, the
cold bIooded and dastardly murder Of
an eminent and distinguished citizen
of kentucky"
He also charge that Durbin's action
was the result of political bargain
made before his election, and ciarac-
terizes his charges against the courts
and officials Of Ke>Sucky as SANDER.
Gus and ineXcusable mSSrepresenta-
tons He takes the stand that the
governor of the state has no oiscre-
tionary powers, but is only ministerial
in the honoring of legally drawn requi
sitions from other states. This is tax,
en- here as an indication that steps
Will shortly be taken in the courts to
compel Durbin by mandamus TO honor
the acquisitions. If such proceedings
are instituted they will be in the
courts of Indiana and will be taken on
appeal to the supreme court.

climbers which operated in this city

ed Saturday through the efforts OF
Sheriff Black. The outfit was located
through the diligence of our sheriff,
who at once left for that city and re-
turned bringing Tom Conway in whose
possession two watches taken during
the raid were found. The time pieces
are both of the most expensive pattern
and are the property of Mrs. Risk and
Mrs. Stubbs Another watch which
the gang took, belonging to E. B.
Kearns, was not recovered. The rob-
berry was rather clever piece of work,
entrance being made to the houses
through second story windows. while
the families were at supper, but clews
were left which gave the officers GER
tainty in regard to the identity of one
member of the crowd and by this the
rest were also discovered.

WHY Dc WIZ. oF EHNEF.
Hon. w. L. Eaton is Suggested for the
Position,


Des Moines, Nov. 11.--Hon. w. L.
Eaton, representative from Mitchell
county, will probably have no opposi-
ton as candidate for speaker of the
house of representatives. 1t Is even
improbable that the democrats will
nominate any one against him. There
will only be seventeen of them in the
house, and if they did put up a man,
lit would be merely matter OF form.
Should they nominate man, however
he would become the leader of the OPP
position. Mr.. Eaton was one of the
few nominees for the legislature who
had no opposition in his own district.
The democrats did not put any one in
the field against him and his election
was practically unanimous. George
w. Clarke. of Dallas, was mentioned
! as candidate against Eaton. but
probably will not be.
/ In the last house Mr.. Eaton was
chairman of the committee on ways
land means, before which came all tax
questions. His elevation to the speak
ershlp will leave the craftsmanship va
cant, and Representative John Hughes
of Iowa county will probably become
4 floor leader.
