Both Sides Announced Ready
When Case Was Called.
Special Judge Bradburn Ordered Spe-
cial Venire OF $50 Men to
Report.
ADJOURNED UNTIL TOMORROW

The indications are that the noted
Holland murder case will be tried
his time.
AT Benton this morning when Spe-
'ial Judge Bradburn, of Bowling
Green. called the case, both sides an
nounced ready for trial. The court
ordered a special venire of $50 men

Iii Brown. of Owensboro, was spe-
al Judge at previous trials
Ii is believed that considerable diff
iculty will be experienced in getting
jury, owing to the widespread mo-
1riefy attained by the case. The de-
endant, former Sheriff w. w. Hol-
and. of Murray, Galloway county, is
harged with shooting and killing
Iardy Keys. leader of an opposing
,olNical faction. He claims Keys
nad an open knife at the time. and
when he found Keys outside the door
where Holland and his friends were
'olding a political meeting a quar-
ell arose over the alleged charge that
>eys was eayesdropping.
The case was transferred from.
cal,oway county on change of venue
o Marshall county. At one trial Hol-
md was convicted of manslaughter
nd given FIVE years, but secured a
lew trial.
Most of those who went to Ben
on this morning to attend the case
eturned this afternoon and will go
back tomorrow.
The attorneys in the case are John

RAILROAD EMPLOYEES
Cautioned Against Too Free a Use
OF Telegraph Wires.

The /. c. road has sat down on It's
employees for the excessive use OF
telegfeph. privileges and has issued
bulletin instructing employees rel-
ative to the use OF the |. c. wires
and the wires of the Postal and
Western Union companies.
There is an agreement between
the raiircad and telegraph com
panies by which the railroad is given
a reduction in telegraphic rates and
cllowed certain amount of free
service Every month the road has
70 pay rates for excessive use of the
wires and the expense has become
great.
The buMet.n instructs against us
ing the wires of either railroad com
rany or telegraph company except
when absolutely necessary and even
then to abbreviate and use tire com
mercial code when possible.

In Order to Test Portions of the
New License Law.
a Number of business Men DO Not
Believe They Can BE Made to
Pay Certain Licenses.
THREE WARRANTS ISSUED.

Exall & Co., commission brokers
were warranted and arraigped in
pclice court this morning. ON a
charge of breach OF ordinance by
operating a business without paying
license but the case was con-
tinued.
Exafl with Roy Mckinney. an
other broker, were warranted yes
teTday at the instance of Licer9e In
spector LshnAard and also was Mr.
c. w. Ingram. a milk dealer. who
has refused to pay a license. 1T Is
proposed to make test case ont Of
both the Exall and Ingram cases.
"The commission brokers take out
wholesale grocers license and
claim that this covers their business
operations. while the whclleAace
grCcers claim they are doing a dual
business and should be made to pay
a double license-one for wholesale
groceries and commission brokers. q"
the inspector explained.
Ingram and a few other milk
dealers claim that formers who come
pa:o the city only twice a week with
milk are not required to pay a Iii
cense.
There is great deal of dissatis-
faction resulting from the license
ordinance and more warranrs in
other branches Will probably have to
be issued. but just what lines they
will be IN cannot say at present.

THE POWERS CASE.

Caleb Powers has lost his case in
the supreme court Of the United
States, but not because he did not
deserve TO have 1T taken from the
state courts of Kentucky. Powers Sc
cured a removal TO the federal court
on the grounds that he had not been
accorded equal protection under the
law. Justice Harlan held that the
remedy for wrongs of that character
is in the state court, and ultimately
in the supreme court upon writ of
error. Justice Harlan also discussed
the contention that there has been a
conspiracy to take Powers life, and
that he could not secure fair trial
He said:
at is true that, looking alone at
the case, as made by the petition for
removal, the trials of the accused
make an exhibition of misconduct on
the part of the administrative Off
GERS connected with those trials,
which may well shock all who love
justice and recognize the right of ev,
cry human being accused of crime TO
be tried according 70 law. Further,
the case. as made by the record, it
must be conceded, tends TO show, if
it does not justify the belief, that ad-
ministrative officers, having connec-
tion with the triad OF the accused,
had it in mind at each trial to ex-
clude from the jury, so far as 1t was
possible to do so, every person, how
ever competent, who belonged to the
same political panty as the accused"
The Louisville Herald says in re-
gard to Powers:
Kentucky's opportunity has, with
the relegation of the Powers case to
the state courts, come. Time wa,
when justice was denied no man In
this grand and fair minded common
fairly constituted Kentucky jury
would deny any man, however strong
the case made out against him, that
just consideration due under the law.
Caleb Powers has been thrice tri-
ed. and the verdict in each trial has
been. by a higher state court, set
aside. He is now to have another
trial before the state courts. We be-
lieve that the judges of this state
compare. as body. favorabIy with
those of any other We believe that a
Kentucky jury, fairly constructed, is
the equal of any on earth.
In the case of Caleb Powers. for
six long years a prisoner, let bygones
be bygones. No more ordinations
and recrimlnations. Time for trial
against whose fairness not
breath of doubt will issue. Governor
Beckham, who is yet young, with, we
believe, a splendid future yet in
store. owes 1t to himself to see that
executive authority be used for JUS
tice, pure and simple.
A judge who will try the case i'm
partially is not hard TO find. Offi-
ciels who will not abuse authority
by eliminating Republicans as such
from jury service ought TO be found.

WHAT IS THE MATTER?
Have Our Desires Outgrown Our Abil
 ity to Meet Them?

From the Portland Oregonian
 Industrial conditions and conditions of business and traffic in every section of the country seem to indicate that demand and supply are not pulling evenly on the yoke. Everywhere there were bountlful crops. and everywhere there was a scarci- ty of men to handle them. There is great building activity served by contractors who are constantly fuming because or their inability to get material Tn every line on time. Clamoring at the door or the hardware merchant for relief, build CTS have been met by the plea of busy, so busy; we will serve you as soon as we can" Calling hotly upon the millmen Tor the flooring, the siding, the doors or the shingles that were to have been oehVereu a week or more ago, the same answer has been shortly returned and the receiver of the telephone hung up with bang. Urg- ing the plasterer, the painter the plumb CT, the brick mason, to come to time, as his tardiness is working vexation. delay and expense, the response is the same.
 Business in one line is not able to han dle business in another and auxiliary line. Prunes have routed by tons in Oregon or chards because pickers were not to be had. The hops in many yards were left on the
  sible to get help" is the cry, beginning in the kitchen and pulsing through every line where capable cheerful workers are in demand.
 What is the matter? Is this nation, this community, like a great family that has outgrown its quarters without developing the ability to take care of itself in indi- vidual lines? Is prosperity to be served is it being served-by energetic, willing,
 kA I@ Il. his part, or are men in the role of great hulking unwilling boys hanging on to it's skirts and impeding as far as possible its movements? Why is 1t that it Is so diff ficult and even impossible to get prompt and intelligent service in all lines of in- dustry? Why is 1t that a man who two years ago took care of the lawn about the house for 20 cents each hour employed, and proved a cheerful laborer in his voca- tion, now has to be run after and coaXed and cajoled into doing the same work for 30 cents? He does not need money less now than he did then, but the more rath- CT, since, as he aggrievedly observes. "ev- erything is so high" and the advance in his wage is not questioned. Why is he less willing to work now than he was then? 1 Is it because he, in common with Che others who form the great rank and file | of labor, falls to recognize his opportu- | nity?
 And this is not all Business in unprec- edented volume cIamors at the door of railroad offices. and is met with the words mo cars;" householders call upon fuel companies for needed supplies. and mo coal' Is the answer; builders clamor at the mills, only to hear the words mo lumber" And so all along the line. Is it possible that the desires of the Ameri- can people have outgrown their ability to meet them? Or is it our system of supply and demand that is cranky and out of gear. it's operative forces hinaerng where they should help each other?
