Montgomery Companies Disagree
 andTCar SerDice May Be Impaired.
7ractioss System Sues Power Company for $55,2O4, Cleyning Violation of Contract General Manager Chambers Says Bills Unpaid and htimates
 That the Current WM Be Stopped

made March 19. 1903. whereby the Montgomery Light and Water Power Company was to furnish power to the Traction Company for a period of ff- teen years. As in every contract be- tween two companies of this sort the cry detail was mentioned. 1t is claim ed by the plaintiff that the defendant has broken this contract in several ways and that 1t has cost the Traction Company an aggregate of $55,204.o4.
 When the contract was made the bill alleges that 1t was agreed that the Traction Company should be furnished with power 10 run its cars and to light its plant and parks that It might control. The current was to be be- tween $50 and 500 volts which was to be determined by the Traction Com- pany. Current was to be furnished at the rate of one and one-half cents per kilowatt hour.
 However. if the power company fur nished current to any consumer except of the City of Montgomery that used less than $50 volts at a cost less than one and oue-half cents a kilowatt per hour, then the Traction Company was to get the benefit of that rate. Now 1t Is charged by the Traction Company that the power company did sell it's cur rent to q consumer using less than $50 yoltS TOT ei8nty-seVen one nunureutHs of a cent per kilowatt hour, but 1t was done in ignorance of the Traction Company. It Is claimed in the petition that the difference between the two rates has amounted to $4S.507. Inter- est on that amount is also claimed.
 That the companies had meter trou- ble the same as do private citizens is evidenced by the statement of the Trac- ton Company that the power company made out their bills on the fastest of five meters. There was to be i've met CTS and If there were not five per cent difference in them. mean between the whole was to be taken and the bill based on that. The Traction Company claims that this was not done, but that tn power company charged on the reading given by the fastest meter. It is averred in the petition that this diff ference has amounted to $3,577.50.
 One of the most startling allegations

"But for the inconvenience to the public, the current would have been shut off before this. There will be an- Light COmpany's standpOint"-Vice- President and General Manager K. J. Chambers, Montgomery Light and Wa ter Power Company.
 As a result of a controversy between the Montgomery Traction Company and the Montgomery Light and Water Pow CT Company. which furnishes electric power to the Traction Company, 1t Is possible that the current used by the Traction Company will be cut off and it Is possible that an interesting chap ter in the already interesting history of street car operation in Montgomery will be written.
 The Traction Company has entered suit against the Light and Water Pow CT Company for s55.204.04 for alleged violation of contract. The biil py which the suit is entered alleges strange and unusual methods on the part of the Light Company.
 On the other hand General Manager R. J. Chambers of the Montgomery Light and Power Company intimates that the suit is result of the deter imitation of his company to collect the amount due his company py tue Trac- tion Company which it has so far fail- cd to pay.
 He declares further that but for the inconvenience to the public his com pany would have shut off the power of the Traction Company some time ago.
 In a bill full of pointed allegations and claiming peculiar business meth ods employed by one of the leading corporations of Montgomery the Mont romery Traction Company filed the suit against the Montgomery Light and Water Power Company to recover $s5.- 2o4.04 alleged to be due. The Mont gomery Traction Company claims in the petition that the contract held with the othef company has been violated in various ways and at dinerent times and if is for these ieviations from the agreement that the Traction Company wishes to recover.

 DeArmond's Version.
 According to DeArmond's version, the episode arose over the question of the correction of a conversation between himself and Mir. Williams about ten days ago regarding the committee as- signments of some Missouri members, and particularly of MT. Booher. Mir. DeArmond said he had spoken highly of MT. Booher and the other members as being competent to sit on any com mittee, hut that he had not specified to MT. Williams any special committee on which he would like to have MT. Booher or any other member placed. This, MT. DeArrnond said. Mir. Williams today denied. saying it was a matter of recollection between them. Upon MT. DeArmond insisting that he had not specified any committee or committees to which he desired to have his coll leagues assigned. MT. Williams, he said. brusquely repeated that 1t was simply matter of recollection be- tween the two.
 He said this" said MT. DeArmond. 'in such a way as to leave no other inference than the one suggested, and

These audiences. it Is also stated by Representative Hob son, approved the following proposi- tion, though he has not linked that with the resolution given above. and which he will endeaVor to have passed during this session of Congress:
 That present conditions call for the immediate adoption of a progressive naval program that will give the Unit ed States a navy capable of perform ing it's duty of protecting our vast sea coat, our great and ever-increasing volume of ocean going commerce, our growing interests in foreign markets our distant possessions and of exc cutting effectively all the just foreign policies of the nation"

RIFLE SHOWN JURY
CONVICT TEsTIFIEs IN CALEB Pow-
 FRS TRIAL.
Two Fellow Convicts of YOutsey Were Placed on the stand to Testify,
 But Refused to Answer
 s% Any Questions.

Georgetown, Ky, Dec. 19--Public in terest in the Powers trial today was centered in the Marlin rifle, which played so prominent part in the as- sassination of Goebel, and which was produced in court late yesterday. after an eight hours search.
 The rifle was put on evidence in con- nectton with the testimony of Grant L. Roberts. former Postmaster at Frank fort, who, at the time of the tragedy, was clerking in the Auditors office. Roberts was on the stand again today and testified to the rife mysteriously disappearing from the vault where he had placed it before the shooting and to his seeing Youtsey with 1t about fifteen minutes after the shooting, when 1t was returned to the vault.
 Reuben T. Miller. now of Indianap- oils, where he was partner of Ex- Governor Taylor, but who was clerk in the Auditors office. corroborated Caleb Powers about seeing Youtsey with a gun at the window, the Satur- day before the shooting. He said ne saw Youtsey in the room, excitedly raise the window, draw the curtain and crouch down near the window of the Secretary of States office, aiming the gun out the window and exclaiming' "It's on."
 
 was shot. Youtsey was brought from The State prison today tossee if he could identify the rifle.
 The case took on decidedly sem sationai turn just before the noon ad- journment when the defense, In an eff fort to break down the testimony of Youtsey given on direct examination, introduced two fellow convicts from the State prison named William Mul. lins and Lloyd Helton, to contradict Youtsey and show that he had said to them in prison that Powers was as innocent as an unborn babe, and that he. himself, had fired the shot that killed Goebel: that Powers and How ard had nothing to do with it, and that he (Youtsey) was forced to testify against them to save his own life When put on the stand, both Mullin, and Helton declined to answer ques. tions asked them, and the judge was powerless to compel them.
 Eli Collins, former convict, who was recently released from prison, took the stand and answering all questions asked him relative to conversations had with Youtsey, declared that the latter had asserted the innocence of Powers and Howard of the crime.

"A MODERN UTOPIA"

The growth of small concern
with a little second-rate outfit to a
fine system covering the entire val
ley in two years time is such as to
make the farmers of the county who
organized it wonder when it is 60
ing to stop. Such is the develop
ment of the farmers phone system.
Already the people of East We
natchee and of Southside are calling
for a phone service. 1t is hoped that
al the farmers of the vicinity may
get together on this scheme.
The organization of these local
concerns in the nature of the local
phone system, commercial clubs, ru-
raj mail routes, and all around local
pride has caused a writer in an
eastern magazine to describe the
Wenatchee Valley as "a Modern
Utopia"
