Judge Stout announced in the
Scott County Circuit Court at
Georgetown Wednesday morning
AS to his jurisdiction in the Pow
ers case. which is that either he or
Judge Robbins has legal right to
sit in the case, but that for per-
sonal reasons he, Judge Stout,
will vaoate the bench.
This decision was reached after
several days argument by the
counsel for each side anu consid-
Grafton of the authorities offered
by them. The defense was anx-
ious for Judge Stout to try the
case. while the prosecution wants
either Judge Robbins to occupy
the bench or another special Judge
to be appointed by the Governor.
Judge Robbins is the special Judge
appointed to try the case three
years ago.
Judge Stout stated that his per-
sonal reasons for declining to try
the case are that he will violate his
conscience in SO doing because of
his association in consultation with
the Commonwealth in former
trial, and his connection with the
Howard case.
At the suggestion of Common
wealth's Attorney Franklin the
following names of persons to
try the case were submitted to
Powers himself;
Judge j. +. AIKEN. Of George
town: Judge j. b. Black. of Bar
bouryille: Judge :. b. Dishnlan,
of Barbourville, and Judge Elliott
Humphrey, of Louisville. None
of these names were accepted by

The Lexington Lea doI's exp

profits squeezed out of newspapers
by a new paper trust. In March,

supposed to be independent and
in competition, but eveIy one is
for identically tit Same ii = are. and
alike in every detail, showing an
absolute agreement.
One of these bids the the Leader
will be compelled to accept or
retire from business, and it means
an advance in cost over last year
equal to Sl44 IL car load, or from
l,200 to 81 800 on the years

Thousands of newspapers, and
smaller than the Leader, must pay
this tribute to the combined print

be granted an increase in pay. The
rumor, however, could. not be veri-
fed" remarked a conductor when
asked if there was any basis for the
rumor. We've been talking little
about organizing, and l guess it has
reached the ears of the big chiefs
I'll believe we are going to get a raise
when l receive official notification of
it,
A raise of a half-cent an hour would
mean that the highest paid man in
the car service was still receiving less
than the first-year men in Omaha and
St. Joseph, where the men are organ
lied. 1t would also mean that the
four-year men were getting from 5 to
cents an hour less than the first
year men in the cities like Detroit,
Buffalo, Louisville and Cleveland,
where organization is strong.
