Resulted.

Electric cars No. }sl and No. 3s5 on the
Brookland division of the City and Sub
urban railway collided while on the switch
at Michigan avenue and Attn street north
east last evening about . O'Clock. Both
cars were damaged and the men in charge

preached the point where the switch con-
meets the main tracks with the tracks that
were formerly used on 4th street. One car
was in charge of Motorman j. T. Turpin
and Conductor B. 7. Bradley, while Con-
ductor w G. Anon and Motorman j. T.
Sullivan composed the crew of the other
car
The cars Were going at about the usual
rate of speed when they approached Michi-
gan avenue and 4th street. 1t was not un-
til the cars were almost together that the
motormen realized the danger and made All
effort to stop their cars In time to prevent
the accident. short time after the acct
dent the wrecking crew returned the dam
aged cars to the tracks and they were
taken to the barn for repairs.

FRIENDS OF CALEB POWERS.
Effort to Raise Funds for His De-
Tense

The progress being made by the COM
mittee that is engaged In soliciting funds
to be sent to Caleb Powers, the young Ken
lucky politician who is soon to have his
fifth trial on the charge of having con-
spired TO murder William Goebel, the dem
ocratic candidate for governor at the time
OF the Goebel-Taylor contest, was consid-
cred at meeting held last night at the
residence of John Speed Smith, treasurer
Of the fund, 1914 X street northwest
Considerable interest is being manifest
ed in the forthcoming trial of Powers as
1t is claimed that it will be held under
different circumstances than those that
have preceded it. The trial judge in the
former cases, against whom charges of I'M
fairness were made has since been elected
to the state supreme bench and will not
preside at the next trial. The principal
prosecuting attorney, Thomas Campbell,
the famous criminal lawyer of Cincinnati,
who is said to have been the indirect cause
of the riot In Cincinnati several years ago
that resulted In the burning of the court
house, has died since the last trial, which
will greatly weaken the prosecution, it is
said
Tie Powers soliciting committee is anx-
ious TO raise sufficient funds TO supplement
those being collected In Kentucky IN order
that Powers may have the benefit of good
legal talent and to secure the attendance
OF important witnesses, who must be
brought from the far eastern part of the
state. The legislature appropriated $100, 900
to be used in securing testimony and the
employment of attorneys In these cases,
and II Is to combat this enormous fund In
a degree that the friends of Powers are
now appealing to the people of the country
for assistance.

Ellen Spencer Mussey Tent, No. l, DaUgh-
tiers of Veterans, has adopted resolutions
expressing regret that an effort Is being
made by the lawmakers OF our country to
enact law that Will reduce the earnings
of government employees as they reach tle
ages Of sixty-five, sixty-eght and seventy,
and which will also provide that In 1913 All

The resolutions declare that the mem

against the enactment into law of section
