DEsERTER SURRENDERED.
Man Who Fled Army Service Miscal-
culated Time for Leniencv

DETROIT, Mich, July 11--George Baker,
who deserted from the United States army
at Fort Smelling, Mimi, in July, 1903, has
surrendered himself to the officers at Fort
wayne, Detroit. 1t is said that by
slight miscalculation Baker faces convic-
ton and sentences for desertion He was
under the impression that his surrender
would be followed Immediately by a per-
fnctory trial and his discharge basing
his expectations of leniency upon law
that when two years have passed after the
expiration of deserter's enlistment il he
has been living in the United States under
his own name, no sentence will be i'm
posed. Baker made the mistake of think
ing that the two years dated from the time
of his desertion instead of from the expira-
tion of his enlistment
The two years from the expiration of his
enlistment will not be up for another
month. He surrendered month too soon
to benefit by the law upon which he de-
pended for his immediate release.

TROUBLE OVER POWERS.
officials Arrested by United States
Court Officers in Kentucky.

CINCINNATI, o., July 11.-Jailor Ploeger
and three other men are out on bail after
their arrest by order of Mayor Helmhold
of Newport Ky. Policemen Flynn and
Ratican are out on bail, having been ar
rested charged with resisting United States
officers in the discharge of their duty, ana
the mayor himself was today bound over
to appear in court Thursday and make
answer to charges of resisting United States
officers These were among the results of
an attempt of some of the friends of Caleb
Powers. former secretary of state of Ken
tucky. under indictment for completely in
the murder of William Goebel, to furnish
the cell which the prisoner was to occupy
with more comforts than usually fall to
the lot of inmates of the Newport jail.
In the fight which followed when the
jailor refused to obey the mayors orders to
place Powers in a cell other than that pre-
pared for Powers the mayors front teeth
were knocked out, revolvers were drawn
and almost the entire police force of New
port was called into action. The jailor
claims that the order of United States Judge
Cochran, when that official assumed juris-
diction in the Powers case and committed
Powers to the Newport jail. gave direct
control over the prisoner to the jailor and
that the mayor had no right or authority in
the matter.
The charges against the jailor and the
three men arrested with him is assault and
battery and resisting an officer. The war
rants against the mayor and the two po
licemen were issued by the United States
commissioner, after consultation with the
district attorney, who first directed the
Unttd States marshal and the jailor to take
Powers to his cell and try to leave him
there This was resisted by the two police
men, acting under orders from Mayor
Helmhold, and the warrants We're then
issued by the commissioner
