HOWARD TEsTIFIEs.
Defendant Declares He Had Nothing to
Do with Murder of Goebel-Tay-
Ior's Stronc Talk.

Frankfort, Ky, April 21.-James
Howard testified in his own defense
today in his trial for the murder Of
Governor Goebel. His defense is an
alibi. He denied he knew either Tay-
Tor, Culton or Goebel, and emphatically
denied he ever say Youtsey until he
mel him in the Jail after their arrest,
or that he ever received a letter from
Governor Taylor or did anything to
which Youtsey testified.
TayIor's Strong Talk.
Indianapolis, Ind, April Civ. S.
Taylor, ex-governor Of Kentucky, who
says SO far as he remembers he never
governor of Kentucky. He also says
he did not know Frank Cecil, who gave
evidence Wednesday charging him with
being responsible for the murder of
Goebel. and says he never conferred
with Youtsey upon any important mat
.er, denying having ever dictated any
letter to Howard.
Governor Taylor's statement of his own
innocence is not dissimiiar to others he
has made before. The fact, however, that
he fled from kentucky as soon as the
tragedy following Governor Goebel's as
sassination had begun to develop signs of
conspiracy, and has ~strenuously resisted
all efforts to get him back into Kentucky,
has been against him.. He has been in In
diana most of the time, the governor there
having refused to honor requisition papers
for him.. He was also for a time in New
York, while MIR. Roosevelt was governor,
and in that case, too, requtsitton was de-
Ned by Mr.. Roosevelt.

ConcIare I'm Session.

Rome, July 3l.-The conclaye which
will elect a successor to Pope Leo XIII.
began today. The Cardinals this morn
ing entered the Vatican for the last time,
preparatory to their voluntary imprison-
ment until the new Pope is elected.
The first ceremony of the COnclave prop
err was mass of the Holy Ghost, celes
brated in the Pauline Chapel by Cardi
nal Oreglia. In the sermon which followed
the Cardinals were exhorted to make
nrompt and holy election, choosing from
among them the most worthy and sublime
dipnitary as Christ's yicaron earth. After
the sermon the Sistine choir sang "Venl
Creator" and this in turn was followed
nv the conclavists trayersing in process
sion the royal hall. They entered the
Sistine Chapel, where the bulls regulat-
inc the conclayes were read and the oaths
of secrecy administered. These prelimi-
MES having been finished Prince CHM,
ordered the clearing of the Vatican OF all
except those permitted to enter the
conclave, while the Cardinal Camerlengo,
with three other cardinals, inspected the
doors and windows to see that all was Sc
cure Finally when all was found IN
order Oreglia locked the last door upon
the inside, while Prince Chini locked II
ON the outside and stationed himself
there to prevent the approach of all un
authorized persons. The session thu
evening will be spent in informal discus
T sion. Tomorrow morning the first ballo
for Pope will be taken.
Rome, July 3l.-It is stated that thu
final development in the campaign TO
the election of the new Pope was tn
consolidating of the foreign Cardinal
under the leadership of Cardinals Glib
bons and Kopp, who oppose the election
of any cardinal who belongs to tn
Roman curia. 1t now seems NOR
5 probable than ever that the can
J didate elected will be compromise
, probably one of the cardinals fror
e the Italian provinces. The lates
mentioned in this connection is Car
dinal Bacilieri, archbishop of Verona.
0 Rome, July 31.-5:S0 p. m. Tn
a Cardinal Archbishop of Naples was Tn
e last to arrived for the conclave.
: is announced that the old rule
t governing the conclavists will no
e hold strictly during the presen
y meeting, especially the rule relating t
r the passing of eatables to each in hI
d "CeiP'. Forty-two of the Cardinal
will eat alone, but the others will din
together table d'hote.

War TO the Knife.

Denver, Colo, July 3l.-A war OF
determination is likely to ensue as the
result of the expulsion of miners from

Idaho Springs trouble, the miners have
ordered their State branches to boycott
every Denver house and not to handle
supplies of any character that originate
from this city. In addition the miners
are preparing to follow their action
through legal channels BY institutine
damage suit against the leaders of the

sary to pile the dead in common graves

THE RICHMOND STRIKE.

Taking the stand to defend himself
from charges of incompetence and neglect
of duty, brought by the Richmond
Passenger and Power Company, Sheriff
Simon Solomon, of Henrico county yes
terday proved the best witness who has
vet testified for the defense. He told OF
his whole connection with the strike,
and explained his actions from his own
point of view, and made q good inn
preston.
Taking of testimony was concluded IN
the case Yesterday, and the instructions
TO the Jury were argued. The counsel
for each side will today argue the case,
and it will probably go to the jury in the
afternoon.
Other witnesses for the defense yester-
day were county officers and one or two
of the city police who were present when
the alleged riOting was in progress in the
western part of the city. Their testi-
mony was largely corroboratiye Of what
was heard yesterday. All of them were
of opinion that there was no necessity
for the calling for troops until after
the guards on the company's cars opened
fire.
Sheriff Solomon told of advising
against the running of cars on the Sun
dav that the labor people held their
parade. He said he felt that to run
cars that day would have been like
Haunting a red flag in the face OF an
angry bull. He would not have been
able to preserve order in so large a
crowd.
Six men from the ranks of the strikers
were put back to work on the lines Of
the Passenger and Power Company yes
terday. and Superintendent Buchanan
has II more applications under consld
Grafton.
Several members of the union have
presented a petition to their president
asking 10 be allowed to withdraw from
the union and seek work. Presiden
Griggs returned the letter, declining tt
present it to the association, and thu
men took it to the newspaper offices anC
it was published yesterday afternoon
They say that there are others ready Il
sign it.
The reports of the motormen and con
ductors show that there was very littl'
disorder wednesday night, the only IN
cident of any importance being TIT
striking of a motorman on the hea'
with brick at Lombardy and Mar
streets.
An attempt was made last mig t
blow up a street-uar with dynamite 0
giant powner just outside the city. Tn
force of the explosion blew open tn
trapdoors in the bottom and shattered
most of the windows. There were
dozen persons on board, among then
ladies. but no one was injured.
The boycott declared by the bricklay
ers' union against the Sitterding- Carneal
Davis Company on account of the con
nection the senior member Of the firm
had with the street railway company, be
ing its president, has been lifted. Thi
is a result of the union, and as a conse
quence of the lifting Of suits brough
against the members of the boycott
the suits have been dropped.

FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 81, 1903.

THE PAMPHLET recently issued from
the Bureau of Interstate Commerce, IN
Washington, wherein it is shown that
for the first three months of the year
over 800 persons we're killed and nearly
II, 500 injured by railroad accidents IN
this country, is of much interest and
concern to the travelling public. Inns
is in marked contrast with the statistics
furnished from Great Britain which show
that during the entire year OF 1907 not
one person was killed by railroad acci-
dent in that country. There must be
some reason for this difference and some
thing radically wrong in the manage
ment Of railroads on this side of the At
lantic and the reason and the mrong are
in most instances carelessness, negI-
gence or indifference on the part OF the
trainmen. There must be a remedy for
this, for passengers have a right to ex-
pect safe conveyance, and money secured
as damages from a railroad corporation
does not restore life or lost limbs. In
England and in few of the States OF
this country where accidents are few,
railroad trainmen are arrested by the
authorities Immediately upon an acci'
dent occurring wherein anyone is killed
or Injured. and must stand trial, possibly
for their lives. Should it be proven tha'
the accident was due TO their negligence
or carelessness, they must stand the con-
seouenees and the knowledge OF tins
makes them careful and attentive tc
their duties. By this means Their OWL
lives and those of the passengers are
greatly protected. A gentleman OF thii
city. while travelling in one OF the New
England States recently, was impressed
by the alertness of the trainmen an'
commented upon it to one OF them
The mans reply was significant, I'VE
must be two men are in prison now be
cause a passenger was injured" Now
if the fear of the law makes men careful
then proper laws should be enacted TO
this purpose in all the States. ouci
laws would impose no burden upon am
one but would in a great measure pro
tect the trainmen themselves, while the.
were protecting the passengers Mel
who have the lives of others in thel
keeping cannot be too careful.

Che Met Vanderbilt.

New York, July Sl.-William X.
Vanderbit's name figured in a separa-
ton suit in a Brooklyn court today,
when Mrs. Florence b. Friedlander, of
% Hart street, asked Justice Gaynor for
alimony and counsel fees in her suit
against Edward J. Friedlander. in her
affidavit she says of her husband: Gin
December, 1900, he struck me three or
four violent blows in the face at Fifty
third street and Sixth avenue, giving as
a reason that | was about to keep au en-
gagement with William X. Vanderbilt,
whom have met on an Atlantic steam
ship some time before. The idea was
utterly absurd. | had him locked up,
but he pleaded with me to procure his
release, which | did the same day. "
The husband denied the allegations, and
said that he desired to live with his wife,
but was unable to support her as she
desired. Decision was reserved. In an
interview Mrs. Friedlander said: "Be-
cause | happened to meet a millionaire
my husband has been jealous. Five
years ago | went to Europe, and on my
return voyage met Mr.. Vanderbilt. He
was very kind to me, and made the voy-
age very pleasant. | have not seen OIL
heard from him since we landed.

THAT THE spirit of lawlessness has
not been crushed out in Richmond is
shown by an effort made last night to
wreck a car with dynamite. This ex-
plosive was used for the first time in
connection with the strike. A car well
filled with people, including nearly a
dozen ladies, was passing the old fair
grounds when the explosion occurred.
The trap doors were thrown open, the
windows shattered and the car somewhat
damaged. There was intense excitement
for a few minutes, but none of the pas
sengers was injured. 1t seems strange
that in the capital city Of Virginia such
lawlessness should be permitted to con-
tinue

OVER HALF a century ago a ciuzen OF
Alexandria went to Boston to recover
runaway negro named Anthony Burns
The abolition mania was then in Its
acute stage and riot seemed imminent
in the streets of the so-called club.
The Alexandrian was exercising a right
guaranteed him by the laws Of the land
and wanted his property restored to HIM
only this and nothing more. Charles
Dickens, the novelist, witnessed the tur-
moils in the Boston streets incident to
the recovery of the negro, and his com
misseration, as was his wont, overlooked
his Judgment, and his american Notes,
after he had been feted and given bad
case Of topheaviness, contains some IN
solent illusions to the Alexandra slave
holder. Half a century has elapsed
since the scenes referred to above.
Nearly every actor in the drama Is
dead. The slaves have been free dur
ing the past two score years. Negro
phlism has run its course. Manumis-
sion and attempts to elevate the great
majority Of the race have proven signal
failures, and Booker Washington, an
ideal of the Bostonians of fifty years
ago, was nearly mobbed last night by
members Of his race while endeavoring
to carry out the dreams of ante bellum
abolitionists. Pepper was placed on
the platform and a riot call had to be
sounded. Old Esop in some Of his
fables over two thousand years ago drew
moral lessons which show that certain
specimens of the genus homo cannot be
metamorphosed against the fat OF
nature.

FRANK JACOBSON, a college graduate,
then school teacher, later laborer with
pick and shovel, shot himself at Chicago
last week. He left letter in which he
advised young men to learn a trade
rather than seek a. college education, as
the latter was hindrance, instead of an
advantage. He called college lore de-
fusion. Without saying single word
against college education it must be adj
mitted that in many instances the sui
cide's advice if followed would bring good
results, and that some OF his conclusions
in equally as many instances have been
proven to be correct
