 in the Case.

 Powers wrote a pathetic letter to Tay- Tor in which he stated that his two trials in the courts of Kentucky for a crime of which he know nothing had stripped him of every cent he had in the world. He says it will be absolutely necessary for him to have money before he can prose- cute his appeal to the Supreme Court, and he asks that Republicans here be appealed to for assistance.
 Nearly all members of the conference today expressed a willingness to assist the condemned man. but in order that there may ba no question as to the amount needed Taylor was requested to ascertain how much money Powers wants. Another meeting will be held as soon as an answer is received and sys- tematic plan will be adopted for raising the money

REFUSE TO GET OUT.
Brooklyn Police Magistrates Decline
 to Surrender Their Jobs.

New York Jan. IA great acgal en- tanglement was precipftated in the Po- lice Courts of the borough of Brooklyn today:
 The last Legislature passed an act abol- ishing police magistrates and providing for the election of city magistrates whose functions should embrace those exercised by the police magistrates. The validity of this act was attacked in in- junction proceedings. Supreme Court Jus tice Marean in Brooklyn dissolved the injunction on the ground that the ac- ton was not properly brought. but held tha opinion that the law creating the city magistrates was unconstitutional. The proceedings were brought by ap- pointees of ex-Mayor Van Wyck against those elected to the city magistrates last November.
 Today both the old and the new magis- trates appeared at the several places of holding court to conduct the courts Three of the police magistrates had slept all the night before In barricaded courts and one of the new city magistrates was arrested during the day by order of the police magistrate he was supposed to succeed. In the afternoon Justice Marean rendered another decision upholding the police magistrates. President Alfred Steers of the Board of Magistrates of Kings County has arranged for a meet ing of all the rival claimants next We'd nesday. when an effort will be made to settle future court assignments.

When Napoleon entered Genoa in
1905, the rich patricians of the city
exerted themselves to gain the favor
of the ronqueror by all sorts of fiat
tering attentions. The most elaborate
of these was banquet patterned after
the famous one offered by Antony to
Cleopatra.
t The tables were set in an artificial
garden. floating on pontoons. which
were lowed out to sea during the prog
ress of the feast. At the conclusion OF
the banquet-again in imitation of An
tony and Cleopatra-all the costly gold
and silver plate was flung into the sea.
This little tribute of honor to the en-
peror was not so expensive as it SEEM
ed, for the floating garden was sur
rounded with nets, and the plate was
subsequently recovered.
