JUDGE HANCKEL HOLDS TITLE OF
THE MANN BILL IS GOOD.

Judge Hanckel, of the Norfolk cor
poration court, handed down a long
decision in the now famous Virginie
anti-liquor Mann law.
In the case of Guy Johnston, bar
tender for j. M. Barton, fined $50 for
selling to minors, the contention was
a new trial upon the ground that the
section of the Mann law providing fol-
the punishment and revocation of the
license of those who permit theii
agents to sell liquor to minors, or on
Sunday, is unconstitutional, because
the title of the law is deficient and
makes no reference to the punishment
and revocation clause for illegal sell
ing.
The title is: can act to raise reve-
nue. for the support of the govern
ment."
Judge Hanckel held that while pro-
vision furnishing citizen for selling
LIQUOR to minors seems to be far
cry from the titled object of the Mann
bill, it must be held under a recent
decision of the supreme court that the
Mann bill is constitutional and the de-
PENDANT, Johnston, must be fined, with
decree following by which the $3.50
liquor license of Barton is revoked
Judge Hanckel bases his decision in
this case upon the following Language
of the supreme court of the state, which
he quotes:
''The title of an act will be sufficient
| If the things authorized to be done
though of diverse nature, may b.
fairly regarded as in furtherance O
the object expressed in the title, i
all the subjects embraced in the stat
ute, but not specified in the title, b,
congruous and have natural connection
with or be germane to the subject ex
pressed in the title The constitution
is to be literally construed so as t,
uphold the law if practicable"
The case goes to the supreme cour
as test case.

OHIO DEMOCRATS
NOMINATE
Name Full Ticket With Tom l.. John
son, of Cleveland, at It's Head.

The John program was carried out
completely by the Ohio Democratic
State convention. Although the opposi-
ton DISTRACTED the proceedings with
minority reports for some hours, the
name of Jno. L. Zimmerman, OF Spring
field, was not presented for the guber-
national nomination and every nomi-
nation on the state ticket including
Mayor Tom l.. Johnson for governor
was made by reclamation. Even after
the chair announced that the name of
Mayor Johnson was the only one before
the convention for gevorner, there was
some dissenting Zimmerman votes on
the motion to make the nomination
unanimous, but the Zimmerman sup
porters subsidized after the selections for
governor and senator were made The
following ticket was nominated:
Governor, Tom L. Johnson, of Cleve-
land.
Lieutenant-Go Governor, Frank B. Niles
of Toledo.
Attorney General, Frank s. Monnett

State Treasurer, v j. Dahl, of Wash

B. Jones, of Ironton.
Supreme Judge, E. J. Dempsey, O.

John H. Clarke, of Cleveland, was
endorsed for United States senator.
With the single exception of sena
torial endorsement, the Johnson mer
controlled the convention as firmly as
they did the committee meeting. The
convention was as distinctly witt
Bryan on national as well as will
Johnson on state issues.
Hon. M. A. Daugherty, who was
chairman of the state committee tive
years, ago, when Colonel James Xii
bourne headed the ticket for governor
stirred up the convention in an argu
ment for the minority report as one tt
save the party from socialism He at
tackled Johnson bitterly as one who
never favored free silver and was now
lodging his own record by ignoring
national issues an advocating STATE
politics, in which he did not himsel
believe. He charged that while John
son said there were no national issues
at stake, he insisted on the endorse
ment of a candidate for senator. Thu

CALEB POWERS SENTENCED TO
BE HUNG.

The third trial of ex-Secretary of
State Caleb Powers for implicitly in the
murder of Governor William Gobel,
in January 1900, closed with a verdict
imposing the extreme penalty of hang
ing for the distinguished prisoner, who
had been in the penitentiary for three
years on life sentence.
Powers sat unmoved while his at
torneys asked for time to make mo-
ton for new trial.
Powers has ben convicted twice be-
fore, this being the third trial in which
the jury brought in a verdict of guilty
against him. On his previous trials he
escaper with a life sentence, as the
evidence was not sufficiently strong
against him to lead the jury to infiict
the extreme penalty. All three of the
trials were he'd at Georgetown, and in
each of them he had the assistance OF
the most able lawyers who could be
procured.
The last trial was distinguished by
the fact that Powers addressed the jury
in his own behalf, and in long re-
view of the case showed himself to be
competent attorney, while his elo-
ouence in pleading for his life aston
ished those who had watched him care
fully in the past trials of the case.
The court fixed November 25 next
as the day for the execution. The at
torneys for the defendant secured the
granting of an appeal for the case to
the Kenetucky court of appeals
Powers was Immediately removed to
the Scott county jail to be held there
pending the appeal of his case.
