KENTUCKY EXHIBIT is
TO BE MADE PERMANENT
Fine Displays at Worlds Fair Will
be Returned for New State Cap
ital.
PRESIDENT FORD AND SECRETARY
HUGHES HIGHLY COMMENDED BY
THE BOARD.

lucky Worlds Fair Commission
is not to die with 1T. The better
part Of the magnificent exhibit
of the States products and re-
sources made at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition is to be re-
turned to the commonwealth to
become the nucleus of a per
manent museum in the New
Capitol at Frankfort. Plans in
line with this action were for
mulated at a meeting of the
commission held Nov. 20 in
Louisville.
The State Geological Bureau
and the State Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station at Lexington
are to be made custodians of the
exhibits, subject to further dis
position by the General AS
sembly. The mineral and for
estry exhibits are to go to the
Geological Board and the agri-
cultural exhibit to the Expert
ment Station.
During the meeting President
A. Y. Ford called up Gov. Beck
ham by telephone, explained the
plan and got his approval as pro-
vided in the bill making the APP
preparation.
1t is the hope of the Commis-
sion that "A place will be made in
the new State Capital. All of
the acts Of President Ford, of h.
E. Hughes, the Secretary and
Director of Exhibits, and of the
Executive Committee were ap-
proved unanimously and reso-
luton adopted strongly com
mending them for the work done.
One act which was especially
applauded was that of the sale
of the Kentucky Building on
such favorable terms. 1t wilt be
remembered that when Keptuc-
ky was allotted a site for a
State building at the exposition,
the commission had to agree, as
did all other commissions, TO re-
move the building within sixty
DAYS of the close of the fair,
clear the site of all rubbish and
restore the grounds to shape and
grade. In estimates the Ken
lucky Commission has figured on
absolutely no salvage from this
source, believing it would cost
as much to conform to the rules
of the exposition in this regard
as could be secured from the
sale. This belief was natural, ,
the Commission having for its
guidance the results of wreckage
at Chicago, when the California
building, which cost $50, 900,
was sold for $500. After taking
several bids on the Kentucky
Building, some of the exhibitors
wanting to charge the Commits
sion for removing the structure,
the bid of the Chicago Wrecking
company, amounting to 1925,
was accepted. This acceptance
followed statement by the
architect of the building as to
the amount of salvage that
might be expected from the
building, which was only a few
hundred dollars. The board COM
plimented Mr.. Ford very highly
for getting rid of the contract
with the exposition so advan-
tageously. Other State o. T.
missions consider themselves
quite fortunate to get one per
cent of cost for their buildings.
The financial report made by
the secretary showed that there
would be funds left on hand at
the wind-up of business to be
turned back into the State
treasury. This report also dis.
closed the gratifying information
chat no commissioner had spent

POWERS CASE
is REVERSED.
Death Sentence Set Aside and
New Trial Granted by Court
Of Appeals.
FOUR OPINIONS ARE DELIVERED.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 6.-The
Court of Appeals, in an opinion
delivered by Judge Barker, to-
day reversed the Scott Circuit
Court in the case If Caleb
Powers, under sentence of death
for alleged completely ia the
maEder of William Goehel.
Judges Paynter, Hobson and
, Num- disseuted, Judge Pdynter
writing the opinion. Judge
O'Rear wrote seperatr Opin-
ion, concurred in by Judge Bur-
nam. In addition to the opinion
of the majority reservlng the
decision, Judge Barker also
wrote separate opinion.
This is the third time the case
has been reversed, TWO former
convictions having been for life
imprisonment.
The main opinion rendered by
Judge Barker reverses the case
on these grounus:
First-The court refused TO
give the defendont time in which
to discover and file additional
grounds for a new trial.
Second-Because the sentence
was pronounced on the same
day the verdict was returned.
Thrd-Because of the remarks
of an attorney represen ing the
Commonwealth.
The point of error was made by
Attorney Campbell in argument
when he said ''Howard was not
hung, but eleven Of the twelve
Jurors who tried him were in
favor of hanging him and one
was for life Imprisonment, and
the eleven had TO come 10 one"
"We are of the opinion" the
court says, "that under all the
circumstances of this case the
court erred in sustaining the
motion in regard to this state
ment of counsel. That is, to eX-
clude it from the jury.
"There was not, and could not
have been, legally any evidence
In the case warrantlng the OBJ
noxious statement; il was
gratuitous declaration without
lawful foundation, in substance
and effect conveying incompe-
tent evidence to the jury.
"No statement which counsel
could have made more certainly
fraught with danger to the ac-
cused or which was more likely
to arouse the passions of pre-
iudice in the minds of the jurors
than that under consideration.
con the same day upon which
the verdict was rendered the
appellant was required, over his
protest, to file his motion and
grounds for new trial; they were
required to be Immediately ar
gued by the counsel, and were at
once overruled by the court. The
lawyers were wearied by their
prolonged labors, and hat a fev
days time would enable them to
produce additional grounds,
which they did not then possess,
in support of the motion. The
accused, especially, insisted that
the court should not pronounce
Judgment upon him in pursuance
of the verdict of the jury until
after the expiration of the time
provided by the code. These
motions were overruled and
Judgment pronounced upon the
same day the verdict was rem
dered.
"Unless we are to hold that
section 283 of the code was en-
acted for no useful purpose, it
contains a most solemn and vital
right of the accused; its mean
ing is upon the surface; it re.
quires no reflection to under

stand it; it was enacted for the
express purpose of giving the ac-
cused time in which to show
cause against t he sentence
about to be passed upon him.
This trial was had during a spec
ial term of court, and it cannot
be said that within the meaning
of the code that the term was
about to end, because, having
been called, for the purpose of
the trial of this case alone, it of
necessity would not end until
that was completed"
Judge Paynter's dissenting
opinion discusses at length the
three grounds set out for reversal.
The separate opinion of Judge
Barker, in which he contends
that there is a Federal question,
is concurred in by Judges Bur
nam and O'Rear, and discusses
at length the Federal question
raised.
The Powers Case.
This is the third time that the
Powers case has been reversed.
On the first trial the jury found
a verdict of guilty, and the sem
tence was imprisonment for life !;
the second trial resulted in the
same verdict and the same SEN
tence. The third trial resulted
in Il sentence of death, and it is
from this that Powers is now re-
lieved by the decision of the
Court of Appeals.
Caleb Powers is a native of
Eastern Kentucky, and was born
near Barbouryille. He was edu-
Gated at Centre College, and in
1899 was candidate for Secre-
tary of State on the same ticket
with w. S. Taylor, at the time of
the Goebel- Taylor election. Ho
was given the certificate of cleo
ton, and while a contest was
pending Mr.. Goehel was assassi-
mated.
1t has always been the theory
of the prosecution that Mr.. Goe-
bel was killed by a bullet fired
from Powers office, and that the
latter was a conspirator in ar
ranging for the murder.
The various trials of Powers
have attracted national attention.
The chief claim always made by
Powers and his attorneys was
that the jury was composed sol
idly OF his enemies.
