MUST GO TO WORK
Judge Sanders to Punish All
Migrants Arrested.
Made Plain Statement of What They
Must Expec: Hereafter.

Judge Sanders this morning in va
grapcy case tried before him au-
nounced that there was so much COM
plaint relative 10 idle aud dissolute
negroes loafing about the city and re-
fusing to work that crusade would
be started against them at once.
The boats cannot get enough labor
at any reasonable price to enable them
to make schedule time. This morning
shortly after police court Capt. James
Roger Of the st. Louis and Tennessee
River Packet Co. complained at the
city hall that enough labor could not
be procured to enc BILE his boats to load
or unload here.
Judge Sanders stated today that the
vagrancy law is one very hard TO en-
force, because some men can make
enough money in few days to last
them several weeks, and after they
have laid in a supply they remain idle
until it is gone. He said that idle,
dissolute negroes who are supported
by women or steal and gamble for a
living are a disgrace to the respectable
colored people, who should expose and
punish them whenever possible, and
that hereafter everything possible will
be done to arrest aud put to work the
loafing darkies in the city, and the
authorities desire to now give them
fair warning.

DAILY MARKET LETTER.

Wall Street, New York, April 1s-
Stocks-The opening of the market
was strong. and while there were no
special advances in any one stock the
uudertone was firm. The bank state
nent was about as expected, and had
no effect on the market one way or
the other. and the only disturbing ele-
nent in the market was the Metropol-
itan matter. As to the position Of
we'll known leaders in the market
there seems to be some doubt. Re.
cent eastern advicss have put the
Gates party well in the lead on tine re-
cent recover. Yesterday they were
reported good buyers. A dispatch
from Charles Gates today however,
fatty denied this saving that he and
J. W. Gates were ut the launching Of
the Minneapolis day before yesterday
and that the firm did little buying.
Further he said he had talked with
Schiff, Hartman and other influential
men, and reported them as not partic.
ular in favor of an upturn. New York
advices say negotiations are under way
which If successful will result in the
formation Of great s25, 600, 900 ma
tionsl bank institution, which when
formed will be one Of the most power
full on this continent. According to
the plans of the finanoiers who have
the project in haned IL is proposed to
amalgamate the National Bank OF
Commerce which is Familiarity known
as J. 2. morRan's bank, with the wes-
tern National Bank. both Of these in
stitutions have capitals OF $4,000, 90,
and rank among the first five powerful
Wall street institutions. The merger
of these institutions when brought
about will result in drawing closer to-
gether the Mutual Life Insurance COM
psny and the Equitable. A great
many people seem to think reaction
due owing to the fact that stocks have
advanced from five to ten dollars per
share since Monday last, and if this is
to be true we think il will take place
between now and next Wednesday,
when it is planned the new Stock Ex-
change shall open and it REGARDED as
almost a certainty that prices will adj
vance ON the first day that members
do business in their new home.

SATURDAY, APRIL, IS 1908.
YOUTSEY'S ACRoBATIC
vERACITY.

NEhAOll /.
The verbatim report of Henry Yout-
sey's evidence in the Jim Howard tri.
al is sufficient to convince any unbi-
ased person that he has sworn to
cleyerly concocted lie. His evasive
answers to certain questions, and his
confused. reluctant replies to others,
impress anyone with the fact that he
was induced to make the confession"
through q spirit of revenge and hope
of immunity. There is nothing thus
far however to show that he was ex-
pressly promised clemency. The pros
ecution is too shrewd for that. But
there were other ways of leading the
alleged murderer to believe that he
would be rewarded IL he testified in
such q manner as to convict others
charged with completely in the crime.
and by such convictions vindicate the
position of the Goebel prosecutors in
their disreptutabie efforts to convict
innocent men and prejudice people
against an opposing political party.
Henry Youtsey's claim that he con-
sidered some one else''morally respon-
sible' for the part he says he played
in the killing of Goebel is mere sub
. terfuge, pucrile whine that would
brand any man making it Contempt
BILE coward and liar, man whose
principles are such as not TO entitle
him to belief.
Another thing that Youtsey fails to
explain is, if Governor Taylor, Caleb
Powers and others Matched plot to
kill Goebel and selected Jim Howard
to do the work, why was it necessary
for Jim Howard to go to Henry Yout-
sew and ask what che was to get" for
it? Why didn't the men who Youtsey
saws picked Howard out and sent him
there, settle on the terms? Another
thing is that Youtsey's statements do
not tally with those he made at other
times, nor with the evidence of other
"star" witnesses for the common
wealth. Youtsey yesterday admitted
ON the stand that he previously said
either Jake Van Bibber. Berry How
ard, "Tallow Dick" Combs or jim
Howard fred the shot but that he did
not know which one it was, and that he
knew he was lying at the time and lied
simply to lease the mind of Justus
Goehel." He also admitted, as the
evidence shows, that he did not think
IL amounted to much to implicate these
innocent men In a murder they
knew nothing about. Youtsey admits
further that the affidavit made by him
in the Louisville Jail and stating that
he, Youtsey. never saw or knew Jim
Howard until they met after Youtsey s
trial at Georgetown, was also lie.
There are scores Of other instances
of where he has contradicted and con-
fused himself and made admissions
that brand him a perjurer and an TN.
scrupulous scoundrel Of the worst type,
and entitled to absolutely no belief.
Tn, people of Kentucky. before be.
ing led to believe Henry Youtsey's
"ccnfession" in this Howard trial
should we'll consider the facts before
they decide whether or not anything
such a self-confessed perjurer says Cal
be taken as true.

because a charge of 90 cents was made
to carry people TO and from the mont
tor Arkansas this week. The only
explanation necessary to make, in be-
half of Paducah, is that the monitor
could not land at the wharf or bank,
that the boats regulate their own
prices, and people who did not desire
to pay the price did not have to go, or
could swim or take a skiff.

According 20 Dr. Ber.llon. there Is
a strong analogy between the delir-
ious in,oxlcatlon Of speed and that Of
morphine. Those who indulge in alb
normal speed simply for its own sake
and without any useful object in
view are mostly degonerates, devoid
OF selfrestraint and having absolutely
no control over themselves. They
may sometimes be seen 10 dash furi-
ously against even the most insignif-
cant obstacles. Examples are on rec
ord where furious speeding has
brought automollists into the most Sc
rious difficulties. and yet, after a
short interval. they would again In
dulge their passion. For instance,
the French automobilist who ran over
a customs Official and was compelled
TO pay a heavy indemnity to the fam
lily OF the latter while abstaining from
excessive speed for a while, soon had
n relapse and speeded his machine
as recklessly as before The speed
