The Powers Trial.

Georgetown, Ky, Nov-In the Ca leb Powers trial Tuesday morning the commonwealth scored a victory by having three jurors removed from the panel for cause without eXhausting any more of their peremptory challenges. Two of the jurors discharged are Re publicans, while the politics of the other is doubtful. The defense re- taliated by announcing it would chal- lenge the entire second Grant county venire which has reported for jury service on the ground of irregularity and partisan discrimination in it's se- lection. This general challenge was based upon the alleged partisanship of Deputy Sheriff Jack Chipman and Ar thur Goebel, who accompanied the sheriff's party. Over the objection of the Commonwealth the motion and affi- davits rendered by the defense, chal- longing the second Grant county ve- lAiIe, were allowed to be filed The court granted States Attorney Frank lin time to examine the documents with view of filing counter affidavits.

Killed Slayer of His Father.

Walter Oxford, a young man aged 21 years, living at Hot Springs, shot and killed Will Trammel, also resi- dent of that city recently. About a year ago Trammel had some difficulty with the Oxfords and shot and killed Lee Oxford, the father of Walter. It is alleged that Trammel followed OK ford, who was unarmed, into the country and then shot him with re- volver. While Oxford was reeling about in the road, half dead it is al legged that Trammel pulled a shot gun and finished the job. Trammel was arrested, and held in jail until a week or so ago, when he furnished bond for S10,000 and was released. He was giV en trial in Benton, out there was a hung" jury. Members of the Oxford family were disappointed at the out come of the trial, and the shooting of Trammel by young Oxford resulted. The wife of Trammel, who is also an aunt of the Oxford boy is in a very critical condition as result of the tragedy.

Chicaqo to Lift Lid.

Chicago, Nov-Direct reports to the Chicago Clearing House from hun dreds of Western cities encourage To- cal bankers to believe that a resump tion of cash payments will be possible within a fortnight. When the Clear ing House Committee met, the mem bers had before them more than 500 letters in reply to the circular letter sent out last week asking for state ments of conditions throughout the West. Practically all the letters, it was announced, expressed a willing ness to cooperate with the Chicago bankers in resuming a cash basis There was considerable diversity of opinion, however, as to how a general resumption should be brought about. Some thought it feasible to lift the lid in every banking center on the same day; others that the loosening of cash should be gradual movement beginning in the East and spreading to other parts of the country.

WILL RESUME CASH BAS s
New York Banks Will Soon Be Meet
 ing All Demands in Cash.

New York, Noy-New York bank CTS are expecting resumption of cash payments in lieu of the check system, which has been employed dur ing the present financial stringency, within a very short time. The return transactions is largely dependent upon the loan rates on money. These rates are steadily declining and call money went practically begging in Wall street late Tuesday at three per cent and below. Rates in time loans continue comparatively high, but are gradually being reduced. As soon as the time loan rate reaches per cent it is be- lieved the bankers will feel assured enough of their position to resume cash payments.
 New circulation from the issue of three per cent treasury certificates of indebtedness will be available within a few days and this will be an impor- tant factor in hastening the return to the usual banking conditions. The premium on currency was in evidence again Tuesday, but the rates were nominal and the demand comparative ly light. The early disappearance of all premiums is freely predicted. While it is declared that the New York banks are in a position to resume currency payments having been made within the last few days, they are said to be awaiting assurance from the interior that the wants of the cities there have been satisfactorily supplied. So long as the interior demands are heavy the New York banks are inclined to hold their currency in readiness for transfer and then ask the indulgence of their local patrons to the extent of accepting checks, which will be han dled with mparatively little incon- yenience
