Anti Saloon League Pleased Though did

The Anti Saloon League of
Kentucky has won what they
regard as a real victory in the
General Assembly of Kentucky,
notwithstanding it. had been
made less acceptable to them
than the original measure, by
amendments taking from the
county unit all cities from the
first to the fourth class lnclus-
i've. The bill as amended and
passed makes Madisonville, for
instance, a unit in itself. and if
Madisonville temperance people
should choose to make a fight
against liquor they will have to
depend on their own resources
and votes within the city limits.
The officers of the State league
believe that liquor will now be
voted out of twenty-five more
counties in addition to the sixty
four already free from the traffic.

CALEB POWERS CASE
BACK TO KENTUCKY.
Justice Harlan Says Case May Get
Into Federal Court on Writ
of Error.
AS CASE STOOD TAYLOR PARDON
COULD NOT BE CONSIDERED.
Kentucky Courts Are Scored in the Opin.
ion Delivered.

Washington, March 12.-
Caleb Powers will be tried again
in the Kentucky courts. The
Supreme Conrt, in an opinion by
Justice Harlan, this afternoon
held that the case could not be
transferred to the Federal Court
upon the grounds set forth by the
defendant, and the State was
awarded custody of the prisoner.
Mr.. Justice Harlan, in dis
cussing the case, indicated that
it might yet come before the
Federal Conrt after the final de-
cision of the Kentucky courts.
He said that as the case stood
the question of the validity of
the Taylor pardon could not be
considered by th Supreme
Court.
He said that when the case
should be finally disposed of by
the State writ of error might
lie to the Federal Court and that
the Federal Court might review
the action of the State courts as
to whether any substantial right
of the defendant had been
violated.
/ The opinion was based on the
ground that the equal rights
statute-section GAL Revis e d
Statutes-does not apply unless
recognized by State laws or the
State constitution.
The opinion was unanimous.
Justice Harlan also discussed
the contention that there had
been q conspiracy to take Pow
| ers' life, and that he could not
secure a fair trial. He said:
1t is true that, looking alone at the
case, as made by the petition for re-
moval, the trials for the accused
make an exhibition of misconduct
on the part of the administrative Of
ficers connected with those trials,
which may well shock all who love
Justice and recognize the right of
every human being accused Of crime
to be tried according to law. Fur
ther, the case, as made by the rec
ord, it must be conceded, tends to
show, If it does rot justify the be-
lief, that administrative officers,
heving connection with the trial of
the accused, had 1t In mind at each
trial to exclude from the jury, so far
as it was possible to do so, every
person, however competent, who be-
longed to the same political party as
the accused.
