til. Southern gave notice in the SUI

pee%cd from the $4,000 fine. Gov
et:lnr Glenn, seeing that the law was

tue law the railroads are entitled to

had also joined in the agreement, and
other lines are expected to follow suit
President Finley of the Southern said
later that the "a cent rate had been
rcEi.ted because it was confscatory
aud that the railroad had yielded it's
clear right in the interests of peace
and amity. Mr.. Finley had been
promptly released upon habeas cor

for lie fourth time has been placed on
trial for conspiracy to effect the MUIR
der of the late Governor Goebel.
Juuge J. e. Robbins, who presided at
the preceding trial Of Powers and who
was designated by Governor Beckham
for the present trial, was accused in
an affidavit by Powers of having
ruled unfairly in the former trial and
of holding prejudice against the de-
PENDANT on account Of his political af-
filiations. Judge Robbins, while de-
claring that the allegations against
him We're utterly untrue, gave notice
that he would vacate the bench. This
caused an adjournment indefinitely
for certiication of the fact to the gov
ern0r.
Powers appeared to be in perfect
physical condition despite his long
confinement, as he has taken vigorous
exercise regularly and given great at
tention to his personal appearance.
