Church Workers VIII Ask Kentucky'a
Governor TO Extend Mercy 10 the Al
legged Slayer of Gov. GoebeI.

Chicago, April 5.-Resolutions re-
questing Gov. Beckham, of Kentucky,
to interfere in the case of Caleb
Powers, convicted and sentenced to
lie for the murder of the late Gov.
Goebel, have been passed at meet
ing of evangelists and Christian
workers conducting services here un-
der the auspices of the Presbyterian
church. The resolutions request
Gov. Beckham TO make use of the
pardoning power, either setting
Powers free or securing the convict
ed man new trial.
The meeting was called by certain
evangelists whose sympathies had
been aroused by knowledge of the
conditions surrounding and causing
the conviction of Caleb Powers.
These men have friends who were
present at every trial and who say
there are positive the man had a
"political' hearing.
A committee has in charge the re-
hitting of the resolutions to the gov
ernor of Kentucky. Letters are being
sent by the committee to the COVER
nors of all the states and territories
in the Union, requesting cooperation
and formal remonstrance on the part
of those officials.

WITHOUT ANY QUESTION.
That Is the WAY Chicago Gives Citi-
zensiip to Aliens.

New York, April 5.--Arnoldo Wac
ber, young Italian, was arrested by
the immigration authorities at Ellis
Island Monday on the charge of hav-
ing fraudulent naturalization papers
in his possession. If the story he
tells is to be believed some Chicago
officials have been making citizens of
foreigners who have not been in this
country the required time.
Waeber says that while living in
San Francisco he married and started
for Italy. He reached Chicago about
a year ago on his way to New York.
On the night of April .. 1908, Waeber
claims he went to an Italian political
club in Clark street with about 100 of
his countrymen. They were asked to
hold up their right hands and swear
that they forever renounced the king
of Italy and would be for all time to
come Il subject OF the king of the
United States" Each man in turn,
the Italian swears, was then handed
certificate of naturalization. Wac
ber says they were asked no ques-
tions as to how long they were in
this country, nor were they required
to pay any fees for the issuance of
the papers.
In return for the free papers,"
Waeber says he was requested to vote
Mt the municipal election in Chicago
a week later, and to register vote
against Mayor Carter Harrison. The
Italian says he did not vote as re-
quested, but left the following day
with his wife and fellow country
man for New York, where all three
took steamer for Italy.
After remaining in Italy nearly n
year, Waeber and his wife decided to
return to the United States. They
took third class passage, and on ar
rival the husband informed the inn
migration authorities that he was a
citizen and produced his papers. On
being asked when he came to the
country, Waeber gave the correct
date, which disclosed the fact he was
not legally entitled to the citizenship
papers. His arrest followed. When
arraigned before United States
commissioner Waeber waived eNami-
nation and was bound over to the
next federal grand jury.

JAPS MOVING NORTHWARD

Toxic, April i.-The advance guard
of the Japanese army in northwest
ern Korea occupied the town of Seng-
Cheng Saturday afternoon without
opposition. Seng-Cheng is on the
Pekin road, is miles west of Cheng
Ju and about 40 miles south of Wiiu.
When the Japanese drove the Rus
slams out of Cheng Ju last Monday the
Russians withdrew in two columns,
one going over the HOAX San road
and the other over the Pekin road.
The Japanese advance from Cheng Ju
was made very rapidly. 1t was an
ticipated that the Russians would re-
sist this advance, but they failed to
do so, and now it is not probabl that
there will be any further opposition
south of the Yalu river.
Cheng Ju, because of its superior
natural surroundings, is the strong
est place between Ping Yang and
Wiiu. Besides these natural advan-
tages there is an old Korean fort
there, which, had it been defended
with spirit. would have been hard
to take. The Japanese are gratified
at the ease with which they drove
the Russians from this fort.
huuSlan paIrOiS are reported TO be
in the country east of the Pekin road,
but it is not probable that there is
any considerable force of Russians in
that section. The patrols are with
drawing gradually to the northward,
toward the Galu.
Port Arthur, April 4.-Preparations
have been made to give the Japanese
a warm reception in case they again
attempt to block the harbor.
Seoul, April 4.-Five Japanese
transports, carrying light artillery
cavalry and infantry, have arrived at
Chemulpo. The men are entraining
for Seoul.
London, April 4.-Reports of fur
ther skirmishing between the Rus
slams and japanese in the Yalu river
region are reaching London, but no
reliable details are given.
The Daily Telegraphs Seoul cores
pondent believes that the defenses
of Port Arthur have been so weak
ened that the early capture of the
port is to be expected. There is
little doubt, the correspondent says,
that only a narrow passage is left
and that at the first favorable oppor-
tunity the japanese will block the
channel.

A Big Blaze at West Tampa.

Tampa, Fla, April 5.-Fire swept
West Tampa yesterday and caused a
loss of 100000 to cigar factories and
ed to death in cigar factory. The
factories of Santaella & Co., Sam
Caro- & Co., both of Chicago; j. NJ.
Martinez and L. Sanchez, of Tampa,
were the heaviest losers. The San
taella Co. lost $125,000 worth of to-
bacco, besides large number of
cighrs. Fifteen blocks of business
houses and nearly 200 tenements
were destroyed. West Tampa has a
small water plant and the water sup
ply gave out. Hundreds of families
of ciparmakers are homeless

Monday by the supreme court of the

VIII Move to Idaho.

Binghamtos, n. Y, April 4.-The
work of dismantling the Binghamton
beet sugar factory, which is to be re-
moved to Blackfoot, Idaho, will be be-
gun within few days. This change
is made because it has been difficult
to persuade the farmers here to raise
enough beets to successfully operate
the plant. The Idaho soil and climate
are well adapted to beet culture and
farmers there are eager to contract
to raise enough to supply the fac
tory. Already 1000 acres have been
contracted FOR near Blackfoot, more
than ever contracted for within O
radius of 100 miles from this city.

enthusiastically received the sur
vivors of the gunboat korietz and
the cruiser Variag, destroyed by the
Japanese in the battle of Chemulpo.
The steamer Malaga, with the sur

afternoon. A parade was formed,
headed by the clergy and the sur
yivors, surrounded by guard of
honor. The streets We're decorate
with flags and bunting. An immense
crowd thronged the pavement, and
the enthusiasm reached such pitch
that the people brushed aside the
guard of honor and raised some of
the survivors on their shoulders,
while others were seized and kissed.

THE fate Of Joe Garbutt Of Oxford
ought to serve warning to all office
holders under the present state admins
tration. Joe was safely ensconced in a
good soft berth at the capitol but in an
unguarded moment when the plans for
the Third district campaign were being
laid, innocently remarked that the Gov
ernor might be "biting off more than he
could chaw" in the contemplated assault
upon Babcock. Such rank treason from
a hireling was brought to the notice of
the Governor and few days later Gar
butt was told he might take leave of
absence and when he, was wanted again
he would be sent for. No word has since
been received at Oxford calling for Joe's
return, neither does the pay roll any
longer contain his name.

The support which Mr.. T. X. Luse is
receiving for Justice of the Supreme
Court is not confined to any party or
faction. He is SO we'll known in this
part of Rock county that it is perhaps
needless for US to give opinions from
other parts Of the state. It is very graf
flying, however, for his friends in this
vicinity to see the way in which his work
has been appreciated and the high stand
ing which he has attained as lawyer.
The Hon. Neal Brown of Wausau writes
as follows concerning him:
Il have known Hon. L. K. Luse Of Su-
periOr for great many years and have
always been impressed with his lawyer
like ability ia the practice of his profess
sion. He has the judicial temperament
and is man of solid mental qualities
and attachments. He is we'll equipped
as a lawyer. and is hard working, honest
and faithful in the practice OF his pro-
fession. would consider him a very
strong member Of the Supreme Court if
he is elected to that position. He is now
in the prime of life and has many years
of usefulness before him. I most earn
estly hope that he will be elected
Mr.. Luse has been engaged in a mum
Der Of prominent cases lately and his
success in them is very gratifying to his
supporters. One of the most important
OF these is that of the Ohio Coal Com
pany vs. The Receivers of the Wiscon-in
Central, where Mr.. Luse appeared for
the plaintiff. This was case involving
an alleged discrimination in freight
rates, as it was claimed that the Receiv-
ers charged the company for switching
and made no such charge for other SINH
lar customers. The case was twice tried
in Federal Court at Madison and Judge
Bum on the second trial directed YER
dict for the defendants, holding that the
discrimination did not come within the
law. This decision was reversed by the
Court of Appeals at Chicago, and on q
new trial held last month the plaintiff
recovered nearly $4,000. This case
shows not only Mr.. Luse's ability as a
lawyer, and the way in which he car
fight railway company if the occasion
arises, but also shows the remedy fol
freight determinations which can be in
voked under the present laws.

MANY of our readers will remember in
the last political campaign how young
attorney in speech in Edgerton was ex-
tremely bitter towards corporate inau-
ence. That young man was Mr. Corri-
gan, the second assistant attorney gen
eral of the state. whom the State Journal
says is now accused of having carried a
railroad pass in violation Of law. This
makes three cases in the attorney gen.
erals department, and now exposures of
the same practices in other state offices
are promised. The general feeling con-
corning the discovery chat three officials
in the department of justice have been
carrying railroad passes in violation of
the spirit, if not the letter OF the law,
is that there has been a great deal of
cheap hypocrisy in the manner in which
the administration has posed as the
champion of the people against the cor
porations. To denounce corporations as
robbers of the people while holding an
open hand behind ones back for such
favors as the corporations have to give,
is not considered an evidence of sincerity
and indeed, might be characterized by
a much harsher term.

IT WOULD be interesting to know what
it will cost Wisconsin for the fight the
administration is putting up in the Third
district, inclusive of the transportation
bills, the service of employees, postage
and other incidentals There are men
who have only occasionally appeared at
their desks for weeks, and have not
made even a pretense of work Detail
evidence of this fact can be shown by
tracing the whereabouts of score or
more employees since the campaign com
menced The taxpayers of Wisconsin
are paying for the campaign being
waged against Congressman Babcock.-
