REPUBLICANS TO
 AID CALEB POWERS
THE ACCUSED MAN WRITES A LETTER, IN WHICH HE SAYS HIS TRIALS HAVE STRIPPED HIM OF EVERY CENT.

Indianapolis, Ind, January 4.-William s. Taylor of Kentucky held conference with Mayor Bookwater and other lead- ing Republicans today with view to starting a movement in aid of Caleb Powers. former secretary of state of Ken- lucky, who is now under conviction for complicity in the murder of William Goe- bel and is trying to get into the Supreme Court with an appeal. Powers wrote a pathetic letter to Taylor in which he stated that his two trials in the courts of Kentucky for a crime of which he knew nothing had stripped him of every cent he had in the world. He says 1t will be absolutely necessary for him to have money before he can prosecute his appeal te the Supreme Court from his recent conviction and he asks that Re- publicans here be appealed to for assist ance.
 Nearly all members of the conference today expressed a willingness to assist the condemned man. but in order that there may be 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 a systematic plan will be adopted for raising the money.

 Another Patient, J. B. Dunnivant, Is still missing, but whether he escaped or his charred remains are still in the build ing. cannot be learned.
 The fire was discovered at 630 o'clock and the four-story brick structure was wiped out. All of the 15o patients were safely removed from the building hav- ing been erected forty years ago and was known as the Old Tower
 Defective wiring is believed to have caused the fire.

 Prompt and effective. work by hospital attaches, students of Williams and Mary College and citizens of the town rescued the inmates. A few of the patients, how ever. escaped their keepers in the excite ment after having been removed from the ward. The weather was bitterly cold.

 PetreI of Politics.

 Personally, I like Mir. Roosevelt. I tliink he is an honest man. striving to do right. But I must admit the conviction that he is utterly incapable of performing the duties of the President of the United States as they should be performed He is too much of a stormy petrel. He can't fly when the wind is not high. Many of his acts are not only radical they are rash"
 Speaking of the Republican party. he said:
 With Roosevelt at its head, it is play ing right into the hands of the Dem crats. The Booker, T. Washington incl dent, the Schley court of inquiry and other recent events have worked lasting injury to the dominant party"

Four Additional Towns Want Aid for

On the 18th day of July the ,ast in
stallment of the States temporary
loans Will be paid by Treasurer Smith,
and Maine will then owe nothing above
its bonded debt. When Governor Hill
assumed the duties of the chief eXecu-
tive, on the first Wednesday OF Jan
uary, 1901, the State owed $500, 600 of
temporary loans. OF this sum $150,00O
was raised on account of the Spanish
war and the balance was borro;. ed on
account of the construction of the new
insane hospital at Bangor and for other
incidental State expenditures. The
Legislature of 1901, although liberal in
its appropriations. was kept within
reasonable bounds by the influence of
Governor Hill. who desired to wire out
the temporary loans before consenting
to any marked increase in the running
expenses of the State government.
The result of this business like fore
sight was that within | month of the
Inauguration of Governor Hill $2OO, 900
in temporary loans were paid and the
interest STOPPED; and in one more
month the remaining loan of 100000
Will be settled as Treasurer Smith has
the money in sight for the purpose.
