a Good Witness in His Own Behalf
Rifle That Killed Goebel Found
al Last.

The most sensational part of tbs
Powers case, the testimony Of the de-
fendent himself. has been passed. and
the trial Is now drawing a little near
err its close. There are still over a
hundred confirmatory witnesses TO be
examined. but probably nothing more
will be 30 exciting as what has passed
The defence sprung its great sensa-
ton this week in the promise to pro-
duce the Marlin rifle with which Goe-
bel was killed. This. II is said. was
given soon after the shooting TO one
Albert Helton. now OF Knox County,
but then a resident of Harlan. Why
he kept IL secret so long has not yet
been explained, but all the details OF
the long hunt for the gun have been
told.
Youtsey, whose testimony had not
been finished when The Citizen went
to press last week closed without tell
ing anything new or important. lie
was the last witness for the prosecu-
ton. and the opening statement for
Powers was then made
The defence stated that It would
prove that the shot that killed Goebel
was fired, not by Howard but by Yout-
sey, that Powers Is entirely innocent
OF the charges against him, and that
there was no plot among the Repub-
lican leaders, but Youtsey acted for
himself. Powers would have gone ON
the stand last week. but States At
torney Franklin took III. and the trial
was put over till Monday.
When It took up again Powers took
the stand at once and has made one
of the best witnesses over seen in the
courts of this state. He speaks care
fully, but shows that he knows what
he is talking about and certainly seems
to be telling only the truth. His
explanations clear away many things
that were insinrated by the witnesses
for the prosecution. and his clear and
firm denials of other things which
were testified to by Youtsey and Gold
en- show well beside their crooked
stories.
Powers admits freely his share in
bringing down the mountain men TO
Frankfort and explains that they
were not for violence. but to protect
the Republican office holders in their
rights. and to impress on the legis'a-
ture the fact that the people were be-
hind them. He had no conversations.

he says So far from helping Youtsey,
Powers says. he had thought the lat

on a friend to try TO quiet him. He
had only three conversations with
the man, and had positively refused
to give him a key to his office. Also.
he said. the transom OF his office was
found broken after the shooting. and
the lock had been forced.

in Congress are adding to the trouble
by attacking the measures which the
President has taken to stop the trou-

There was another bad mine disaster

WILL NOT RUN AGAIN
President Stops Third Term Talk.
Democratic Convention to Meet
in Denver July 7.

The political sensation of the week
has been the Presidents second an
nouncement that he would not run foI
President again. IL should not have
surprised any one. but certain little
politicians had been trying to con-
vince people that he did not mean il
when he said It, and so used this
as cover for their schemes for some
one else. So the President did well to
tell the truth, and he has stopped all
kinds of schemes that we're under
way.
This has left the field clear for
other men. and no one of them seems
far enough ahead to be sure of 1t. Mr..
Taft stands the best chance. but Sen
ator Foraker, who has always worked
for the corporations, hates the presi-
dent for furnishing them. and has
worked as hard as he could against
Taft. and may keep him from getting
the whole Ohio delegation. That
would probably beat him. Foraker of
course cannot get the place, unless the
party goes insane. but he still acts as
IL he thought he was in the race. Gov.
Hughes Of New York, who did such
fine work for the people in the insur-
ance Investigations, is another of the
candidates who is we'll 10 the front,
and stands a pretty good show, but
some OF the things he has been doing
have not turned out well. and he is
losing strength now. Other candi-
dates are Knox, LaFollette and Speak
err Cannon. It now seems likely that
there will he a long, hard fight in the
convention, and 1t is possible that
some man not yet mentioned may be
chosen.
The Democratic National Committee
has chosen Denver as the place for the
National convention, which will be on
July Z, or after the Republican one.
Denver offered 100000 for the conyen-
ton. which will leave about $50, 900 to
start the campaign fund with. There
has been some criticism Of this, but
really, every one knows that money is
needed to run a campaign and there
can be no more harmless way of get
ting It.
Gov. Wilson has begun his work
well by sending troops to Hopkinsvili
as is told elsewhere in The Citizen,
and in other ways the Republicans
have shown their intention of doing
their work in the best possible way.
The members of the assembly met in
a caucus and decided to stand togeth-
err on all important matters. They will
work for three things: A bi-parti-
san board to control the penal and

THE young men of Texas are
waking up to the value of an in
dustrial education. At the opening
of the Agricultural and Mechanical
College, eager students thronged
the corridors of the institution beg
ging to be admitted. The former
natatorium had been cut up into
rooms to accommodate the expect
ed crowd. The number of tents
used last year was trebled. More
students were put into each room
than formerly. Still every train
brought applicants who had failed
to secure room in advance. When
500 men had been received into the
College, President Harrington call
ed halt. There was no place to
lodge them and no teachers to teach
them. Many boys were forced to
go back home to wait until anoth
er session opens. Give me
chance" begged one disappointed
young fellow with tears in his eyes.
Put me anywhere, under any
conditions; 1 must have an educa
ton" Two boys persuaded a pro-
fessor to let them live in an unoc-
cupied servants house. Four sleep
in an attic. Seventy-two are oc-
tents. The men who live
in them do not realize that, in thus
uncomplainingly Submitting to
hardships in order to obtain an
education, they are playing the
part of heroes. The tents, however,
are surprisingly comfortable.

channel along the entire Texas
coast from the mouth of the Rio
Grande to Sabine Pass IS not only
feasible, but comparatively easy OF
accomplishment and at small cost.
It only remains to secure an act of
congress authorizing the work, and
the thing is done. The construc-
ton of the intercoastal canal will
insure the rapid development of
the Texas Coast country as no
other single agency could do. 1t
is necessary and it is feasible. As
stated above, its accomplishment
only requires concerted and in
diligently directed action on the
part of our people. 1t is bound to
be accomplished some day, and
the sooner it is done, the sooner
will be realized to the full the
wonderful possibilities Of this re
gien.

THESE are panicky times in fin
ancial circles, but it is the belief of
conservative observers that the sit
uation is not actually dangerous
and only requires confidence on the
part of the people TO forestall any
serious results of a general char
acter. The stringency prevailing
in the money market, however, as
the result of the recent bank fail
ures is bound to have more or less
effect upon development every
where in the country. RAILROADS
and other large industrial and de
velopment concerns all over the
country are curtailing expendi
lures, and labor is already feeling
the results, which in turn must af
feet financial conditions to a wide
extent, and have an adverse in
fuence upon enterprises of various
kinds.

JEWISH WOMEN LED RIOTERS.
Butcher Shops in Philadelphia Were
Sacked by Yiddish Mobs.

Philadelphia, Pa. = The Jewish
quarter in the southern section of the
city was the scene of many disturb
ances and incipient riots Thursday
following the efforts of Yiddish wo-
men to boycott kosher butchers who
have increased the price of meats. All
through the Ghetto there were fierce
outbreaks in which persons who at
tempted to patroniZe the stores were
roughly handled. In several instances
the stores were sacked and the meat
destroyed.
The women gathered in front of the
stores and seized every person who
entered. The meat the customers
had purchased was taken away from
them and tossed in the streets after
coal oil or acid had been poured over
it. In three shops oil was poured
over every piece of meat, the chop
ping blocks and counters were over
turned and the windows in the stores
were demolished.
The police of three districts were
kept on the run answering riot calls
and reserve squads had to be sent to
their assistance.
AS result of the outbreaks % men
and women were either sent to prison
or held in bail for court to answer
charges of assault and iaciting to riot
and as many more were arrested
and locked up for hearings on minor
charges.
Because most of the disturbers
were women the police at first hesi-
tated to use force in trying to dis
perse the mobs in front of the stores,
but. the situation became serious and
they were finally compelled to use Sc
we're measures and number of men
and women were sent to the hospitals
suffering from injuries received in re-
sisting the officers. None was seri-
ously hurt, however, and the authori-
ties have the situation we'll in hand
The kosher butchers at a meeting
last night decided to close their stores
until the wholesalers shall reduce the
price on meats to scale that will en-
able the retailers to sell to their GUS
toners at prices within their means

OF Guatemala Confirms
Death Sentences.
ALLEGED PLOTTERS
Against the Life of President Cabrera
are to be Executed, in Spite of
Protests by Diplomats.

Guatemala City. The supreme
court of Guatemala has con.
tirmed the death penalty on all those
sentenced in connection with the re-
cent attempt to assassinate President
Cabrera and who had appealed their
cases to the highest court.
On July 1 a dispatch from Guate-
mala stated that 100 citizens of that
republic had been arrested on the
charge of completely in an attempt to
assassinate Cabrera. All were thrown
into prison and subsequently many of
the accused were sentenced to death.
Among the men in prison were some
of the most wealthy and prominent in
Guatemala.
Immediately upon the arrestI be-
coming known the diplomatic corps at
Guatemala, with the exception of
Philip NJ. Brown, the United States
charge, protested. No attention be-
ing paid to these protests the British
minister was charged with drawing
up note in which the trial OF those
arrested were characterized as a
farce. This note was sent to the vari-
Gus governments having representa-.
tives at Guatemala.
On July % a dispatch from Guate-
mala stated that many of the minor
political offenders recently sentenced
by the courts had been pardoned and
that those under sentence OF death
would also probably be released
shortly 1t was also stated that Ger
many, Italy, Spain and Mexico had
sent notes to the Guatemalan govern
ment pointing cut that prisoners un-
der arrest for completely in the at
tempted assassination were still held
and that neither the civil nor military
courts had taken any action in the
case, in spite of the fact that the
time allowed by law had long since
expired.

SPIES HIRED BY TURKS.
They Are Alleged to be Engaged in
the Work of Discrediting Arme-
mans in This Country.

New York.-Rev. Levont Mar.
toogessan, once treasurer OF the
Hunchakist, the Armenian society
which outsiders say has fallen from
its high estate of patriotism to the
practice Of blackmail, on Friday gave
new twist to the district attorneys
investigation Of the organization.
The priest had been subpenaed to
tell what he knew. This was to the
effect that the present agitation, os-
tensibly directed by reputable Ar
menians against band of assassins,
was in fact inspired by the Turkish
government, whose hired spies sought
to discredit the patriotic Armenians
in this country.
The pastor of the Armenian Apos-
ties church had, he admitted,
formerly been a member and the
treasurer of the Hunchakist, but some
time ago withdrew. He knew nothing
of the murder Of the rug merchant
Tavshanjian, who had refused to pay
$4,000 for his life, and If extortion
had been practiced he knew nothing
Of it. On the contrary, he told the
district attorney that he himself was
the object of persecution on the part
of the Turkish government Pressed
to throw light on the work of the con-
spirators the priest replied:
You are rich and powerful nation
and you can find out more than
can"

MADE A NEW RECORD.
SONoMA GIRL WON THE MER.
CHANTS AND MANUFACTURE
ERS' STAKE AT DETROIT.
Second Heat Was Trotted in 2:o6A,
Worlds Record for Green
Mare.

Detroit, Mich.-Thursday' sun
set on the greatest renewal of the
Merchants and Manufacturers stake
ever trotted. The most remarkable
exhibition of speed ever known on the
light harness turf was won by So
noma Girl on her courage and speed
and stamped herself the feeteSt OF
her sex in parts of the journey, if not
for a whole mile, when the supreme
test comes later in the season.
The track was lightning fast, the
water under the surface serving as a
cushion to send the flying feet along
in their journey.
Sonoma Girl had closed a favorite
at $50, Highball s44 and the field s26,
and in some pooling she ranked $50 to
$35 over the field. When they scored
the first time Sonoma G.rl was on the
run, jumping as though mad. Time
and again she acted badly and there
was wild scramble among the bet
ters. Driver Springer changed sulkys
and she went level, then back-jumped
and finally when the word was given
on the ninth score she was ten
lengths behind the rest, though on a
trot. Highball, from the outside, shot
to the pole and the quarter in 80
seconds, being ten lengths ahead at
the half. Springer got Sonoma Girl
going on the first turn and she ratified
off middle half in 59A seconds, land
ing in second place, but being unable
to catch Highball, who went the mile
in 2:07R, a new record for the stake
Next time they got away on the
third score and rushed to the half in
1:00X, where Highball had an open
length on the mare. AT the three
quarters Springer set her going and
she marched up to and by Highball as
though he was tied to a post. Such a
fight of speed had never been seen
and when Sonoma Girl got down the
stretch Springer pulled her until she
was jogging in 2:06A, a second new
record for the stake and the worlds
record for a green mare.
The third heat was plain work
mile for Sonoma Girl, as she won at
every part Of it.
The rest of the racing was clever
and fast.

Is Accused of Cruelty.

San Francisco, Cal.-Third OF
ficer Halves, OF the wrecked steamer
Columbia, whose sworn report of the
disaster charged Capt. Hansen, of the
San Pedro, with refusing to aid in the
rescue Of the passengers, is now
charged by survivors who occupied
the same boat with him, with conduct
more cruel than that specified by him
In his report. The charges against
Hawse are: Refusing to give his coat
to an unconscious woman rescued
from the water in a freezing condl
ton. Ordering a sailor to strike a
crippled man who he believed occu
pied too much space in the boat. Re
fusing to assist in dragging men and
women from the water.
