BERKELEY STUDENT DENIED
HABEAS CORPUS WRIT.
GRAND JURY MAY RETURN AN
INDICTMENT SOON
Chief of Police Says He Has Inter-

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
BERKELEY, Nov. 29.-Harry Klein
schmidt, the college student accused of
the murder of Frank Bellows. his rival
in love. has lost the first legal skirmish
conviction.
+ With the postponerient of the decision
on the writ of habeas corpus until Tues
day Kleinschmidt lost his chances of OBJ
tanning even temporary freedom, as the
grand jury meets Monday and District
Attorney Brown confidently expects that
body to return an indictment for murder
against the college student.
In arguing against the granting of the
writ of habeas corpus Brown presented
affidavits from Chief of Police Vollmer,
Deputy District Attorney Carey and De-
tective Jamison. Chief Vollmer's affi-
davit stated that after examining sixty
witnesses he believed the defendant
guilty of murder. The other affidavits
were similar in nature.
The police continue to carefully guard
their evidence against the accused and
have given strict orders not to talk to
all the witnesses subpoenaed to appear
before the grand jury.
An application by Kleinschmidt's at
torneys was made to have him released
on bail. In this matter Judge Harris
also postponed his decision until Tuesday.
The grand jury will convene on Mon
day. at which time the district attorney
firmly believes an indictment will be re-
turned against Kleinschmidt. 1t was for
this reason that Judge Harris postponed
his decision, as the returning of the in
dlctment would render unnecessary any
further action in the habeas corpus mat

RED PAINT KILLS
GOAT, ANOTHER is
WANTED ON SHIP
Mascot of Admiral Evans Vessel
Meets Tragic End and a Suc-

Sailors
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK Nov. 29-There is fine
chance for any healthy young goat that
desires to enlist in the United States
navy. The sailors on the U. S. s. Con-
recticut, flagship of Rear Admiral Evans.
which will lead tn. great batlteship fleet
on its journey to the Pacific, are looking
for mascot in the shape of goat.
Up to ten days ago the Connecticut
possessed a goat, fine animal, which
answered to the name of Nutmeg, an
appellation given him in honor of the
state from which the great battleship takes
it's name. But Nutmeg is no more, and
the jack tars are seeking another to take
his place before the ship sails for the
Pacific The taking off of Nutmeg was a
tragedy.
The great ship was being put in order
for the long cruise. Among other work
that was done was the painting Of the
great tunnels. They had been scraped
clean of all old paint and great tubs of
red paint had been mixed for the first
coat to be laid on the smoke stacks. Now
Nutmeg was of an inquiring mind, and
he investigated the paint. 1t looked good
TO him and ne too.1 a big swallow out of
the nearest tub. That was the beginning
of the end of Nutmeg Twenty minutes
later the Connecticut was without a goat
Next day Nutmeg had a funeral befitting
a rear admiral. Since then the sailors
have been looking for another goat, but
so far without success.

POWERS IN CHEERFUL
MOOD; TRIAL IS ON
JURY SEES WOOD IN WHICH
BULLET LODGED
Defense Agrees to Admit Ball Fired
at GoebeI from Office of
the Secretary of
State
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
GEORGETOWN, KY, Nov. 29.-With
the work of impaneling jury completed
and the opening statements of the prose-
cution already made, the state was ready
today for the introduction of testimony
IA the trial of Caleb Powers. charged with
the murder of William Goebel.
Powers was in gooA spirits, evidently
gratified that the jury is more evenly
divided politically than at any former
trial-four Republicans, four Democrats
and four Independent Democrats being
St ated in the box.
Major Owens of counsel for the defense
announced at the opening of the pro-
ceedings that the defense, in order to
save time, would admit the fatal bullet
which was fired from the windows of
Powers office when he was secretary of
state, the spot where Goebel fell and the
nature of the wound.
The first witness called by the state
was E. M Woodson, a civil engineer of
Frankfort. who removed the bullet from
the blackberry tree in the state house
grounds Woodson identified the blocks
of wood taken from the tree containing
the bullet and described the direction of
the bullet which he said came from the
window of Secretary of State Powers
office.
The Jurors were allowed to scrutinize
the exhibit and Juror Lider asked several
questions as to the position of the bullet
when found in the tree.

BANKS TAKE
NEARLYALL
NEW BONDS
TREASURY CERTIFICATES ARE
ALLOTTED
Twenty-Five Million Dollars in Cow
ernment Securities Largely
Taken--Panama Issue
Is Ready
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29-The final clos
ing of allotment of the 3 per cent, one
year certificates was definitely announced
by Secretary Cortelyou today. He de-
clared that no allotments had been made,
OF would be made after his announce
ment Of Wednesday night and that no
further subscriptions would be consid-
cred.
The point was not quite clear until his
statement today that some small allot-
rnents might be made from subscriptions
already in hand on Wednesday. AS the
matter stands practically all allotments
are to national banks which have agreed
to take out circulation, and in the major
ity of cases have agreed to surrender the
certificates before maturity upon payment
OF accrued interest on the date of re-
demption.
Information was still withheld at the
treasury as to the amount of the allot-
inents made, but such information as Is
obtainable indicates that the total will
not materially exceed $25,000,000.
If this proves to be the case and con-
siderable portion of the certificates are
delivered on the condition that they shall
be surrendered in six months with interest
to that time, or even for a shorter period,
1t becomes possible to calculate roughly
the cost of the issue in interest.
There appears to be no doubt that by
far the largest part of the amount yallot-
ted, probably three-fifths, is subject to re-
demption with accrued interest within
three months. On the basis of an issue
of $4,000, 900 this would amount to the re-
demption of $15.0OO.OOO with interest at 1h
rer cent, which would require $225,OOO for
the interest payments.
If $10,00000O of the certificates ran the
full period of one year the interest pay
ments of per cent would consume $780,,
coo. These two sums, therefore, making a
total of $525,000, would represent the entire
cost of the issue of certificates to the
treasury outside of the trifiing incidental
expenses of issues. This would be at the
rate of about 2A per cent capita for the
population.
The issues of the Panama bonds are
still reaching the treasury in large num-
hers. They will be opened tomorrow aft
ernoon at A o'clock. The number of bids
closely approximates the number received
for the loan of July 20, 1906, when an offer
of $50, ,0O0,O 900 was subscribed to the amount
of $446, 100000, or about fifteen times the
amount offered.
