K|NKEAD TO AID MOORE
IN WORK FOR POWERS
Kentuckian's Attorney Will Assist
in Raising Fund to Save Life
of Secretary OF State.
POSITION OF POWERS

James H. Moore, of Louisville, KY, who
is in the city attending the Republican state
convention to raise subscriptions for the
Caleb Powers fund, received letter yes
terday from Powers himself stating that
one of his attorneys, Robert kinkead, Will
arrive to-day to assist in the raising of the
fund. Mr.. Kinkead acted in Powers's de-
Tense in his last trial, and has since been
tireless in his efforts to aid the condemned
man.
A sum of about $4,000 is needed for Pow
ers TO carry his case to the United States
Supreme Court of Appeals in case he is re-
fused a new trial by the Kentucky State
Court of Appeals Part of this amount
has been raised. and Mr.. Moore and Mr..
Kinkead hope while here to increase the
subscriptions materially. People from all
parts of the country are responding iber-
ally to the call for aid in behalf of Caleb
Powers
In a letter recently published Powers sets
forth his position as follows:
1T grieves me very much indeed to be
forced TO call upon sister States for finan-
cial aid. but 1 have fought for over four
years a relentless and powerful monied
prosecution, and during all this time have
been wrongfully deprived of my liberties,
bounded and denounced as an assassin. 1t
looks as though the partlsaned courts of my
native State have decided TO judicially muir
der me- The 10000 corruption fund has
been a powerful leverage in the accom-
plishment of this together with the political
hatred of my political opponents. In the
event that / denied a new trial by the
Kentucky Court of Appeals l want TO carry
my case 10 the Supreme Court of the United
1 H.
cient to print the record and employ the
Hon. John G.. Carlisle, Senator w. NJ. Lind
say and Ex-Governor Black. of New York,
or other able counsel, to properly present
my case in the Supreme Court. 1t will be
too late to do all of this if / wait until the
Kentucky court has passed upon my case.
And if L am granted new trial here the
expenses of another trial will have to be
incurred and the federal question in my
case properly solved. Any means given me
through my friend James II. Moore or
otherwise for the accomplishment of the
end above set out will be gratefully re-
ceived and duly appreciated.

WANTS GIFT OF STOCKS
EXCLUDED FROM THE FUND
Col. Harrison Files Another Brief
in Exceptions to Trust Com
pany's Report.

Another brief filed by Col. Russell
b. Harrison in the exceptions TO the report
filed some time ago by the Union Trust
Company as executor for the estate of the
late General Benjamin Harrison. Colonel
Harrison's contention is that the securities
in the s125.OO0 fund left for Mary Lord
Harrison, the widow of the deceased,
should be counted at their present market
value and not at their cost value. He in
sists that sixty shares of stock of the
Safety Car Heating and Lighting Com
pany, valued at $1,000. should not be taken
by the trustees of the estate as a part of
the fund at all. because they were not
earned or purchased by the deceased. but
that the delivery of the stock was made TO
him from year 10 year that he should not
appear against the company in trial. A
clause of the brief which sets out Colonel
Harrison's views on the question. is as
follows:
"The late Benjamin Harrison was not
called upon 10 render any service 10 said
company. therefore. the delivery of the
stock TO him from year to year was only
retaining or hiring him not TO appear
against the company in any litigation and
was therefore not clearly a case OF ex-
change or barter. he did not pay for
said stock even in services. but simply
took engagements not 10 appear against
said company"

MINISTER'S IN FAVOR
OF 4 HALF HOLIDAY
Subject Is Discussed by Method
lists, Who viii Confer
with Employers.

At the meeting of Methodist ministers
held yesterday the subject of half holidays
for those who are employed was preached,
and ali of the ministers declared in favor
of the holiday. There was some question,
however, as to what day should be Sc
lected for the employees recreation, and as
to what would be the best means of bring
ing about the reform.
The Rev. Robb Earring expressed himself
as being of the opinion that most of the
large business houses favored Friday, and
Rev. Stanisfield said he believed it use
less TO try for a Saturday half holiday,
when so many of the merchants were in
terested in keeping their places of business
open on that day.
The .Revs. Hurlstone, Hyde and Earring
were appointed a committee to look into
the matter and report later
