WANTS FAIR TRIAL
COURT SUsTAINS MOTION OF
POWERS DEFENSE TO DIS
CHARGE vENIRE.

Georgetown. Ky. Nov 2l.-The
attorneys for Caleb Powers in his
fourth trial on charge OF killing
William Goebel won for him today
the first substantial victory when
Special Judge Morris sustained the
motion to discharge the second
venire. The main contention
throughout the proceedings 80 far
has been that politics has been In.
jected into the case at all pre-
vious trials that an effort to con-
tinue this condition has been made
in the selection of the yenire Of
county. and that the defendant
could not obtain justice al the
hands of a jury composed entirely
of political opponents.
In sustaining the motion of the
defendant. Special Judge Morris, an
ardent democrat and appointee OF
Governor Beckham. said:
," THE proof indicates that the
democratic majority in Harrison
county Is somewhere in the neigh
borhood Of 1000, perhaps more, in
the last election. 40 .
The proof indicates that in the
precincts where the veniremen
were summoned there is an over
whelming predomination OF demo-
Gratis, not SO much in the last elec-
ton is in previous elections, per-
haps. Now in looking over these
lists in proof here 1t must be strik-
ing that so many democrats We're
summoned ON these venires and so
few republicans.

So Many Things That Are Not SO.
Four or Ave days ago Mr.. Thoma
Taggart. chairman of the democrat.
ic national committee was reported
as having called a meeting OF the
national committee at his home at
French Lick for the purpose of an
tagonizing MIR. Bryan. Mr.. Taggart
himself appears in denial of that
statement. Next we learn that at
a meeting called at Lafayette. Ind.
none Of Mr.. Taggart's friends were
present. But there were seven
hundred men at the banquet tend
cred Mr.. Bryan. twenty-five hun
dred men on the outside of the
hal, and 1t is estimated that In
all nearly ten thousand people came
to that Indiana city to meet him.
incidentally two OF Mr. Taggarts
chief lieutenants were active In the
reception. II seems to be fair TO
explain that, the news of what Mr..
Bryan does or what his friends are
doing is very apt TO be barbled.
Here In Washington some OF his
friends have been organizing a lit
tie dinner, confined entirely to resi-
dents of the District of Columbia,
and with no invitations sent TO
men living outside of the district.
The date OF the dinner is the
twenty sixth. Notwithstanding earn
est endeavors to correct it, every
New York newspaper and many out
side of New York have repeatedly y
printed 1t as the eighteenth.
II is purely local dinner, not a
national one. but nevertheless many
of the local papers have tried to
make 1t appear tnat 1t was intend
ed to bring all members OF the ma
tional committee and all democratic
members OF the house and senate

TOLEDO, OHIO, NEXT
PROMINENT MEN INDICTED BY
A GRAND JURY.
Master Plumbers, Lumbermen, Brick
Men and Others Are In the Clutches
of the Antitrust Law-e3 Are In
dlcted, but Are Not Yet Arrested
Asked to Come and Plead.

Toledo, -Ninety-three of the
most prominent men in Toledo's busi-
ness life were indicted on 245 counts
by the grand jury which has returned
its report to Judge Morris. The men
indicted are the members of the To
ledo Master Plumbers association,
numbering 60 persons; "a lumbermen
and nine brickmen. The indictments
are returned for violation of the Val
entine antitrust law and are the re-
suit Of an investigation covering a
period of about two weeks.
The National Supply company of
South st. Clair street is the only cor
poration indicted. This company deals
ir plumbers and oil well supplies and
is accused of having been concerned
in the regulation of prices fixed by the
Master Plumbers association.
The Toledo Brick Supply company,
alleged to have been an Illegal com
bination Of brick manufacturers in
restraint of trade, is alleged to have
been organized for the purpose of con
trolling the price of the product of
local brick manufacturers. Since the
passage of the Valentine antitrust law
1t is said to have changed its form
but the prosecutor expects to show
that it has continued as a monopoly
of the brick business locally.
The Toledo lumber dealers bureau
of credit is charged with being the
controlling organization of the lumber
market, its members, it is alleged, hav
ing combined to boost the prices OF
lumber at will. Several building con
tractors testified before the grand
jury as to the manner in which its
operations affected them. the manipu
lption of the price Of building materia
and the cost of construction by the
lumber dealers, brick manufacturers
plumbers and the supply dealers, some
times having a ruinous effect upor
their work under contract.
Nobody will be placed under immedi
ate arrest The prosecutor will give
them a chance to come in voluntarily
plead to the indictments against then
and give bond for appearance for trial
These preliminary measures will b.
accomplished within the coming weel
and the cases will be assigned 70
trial later.
