NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-John F. Ahearn,
Democrat, who ten days ago was renewed
of the office of president of the borough
of Manhattan by Governor Hughes, TO-DAY
was elected by the board OF aldermen TO
succeed himself. He received twenty-tour
votes against twelve for Max f. Grifen-
hagen, Republican. Ahearn's supporters
included all the Democratic members OF
the hoard in this borough, and in addition
he received the votes Of three Republicans
and four Municipal Ownership league
aldermen.
Ahearn's removal by the governor fol-
lowed an investigation into the affairs OF
the Office, which was made at MS own
request after charges had been prelerreu
by two officers of the City club.
Governor Hughes, in passing on the evil
dence brought out at the hearing, held
rhat the charges had been sustained, but
in his communication directing the re-
moval of Ahearn from office he said that
nothing had been disclosed which In any
way tended to impeach Ahearn's personal
honesty.
In calling the meeting to order Mayor
Mcclellan read his message, In Wnlcn ne
ruled that the selection of Ahearn to sue

nyIlihcation of the governors removai

CONvICTS, CALLED BY
POWERS, REMAIN SILENT
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
GEoRGETOWN, Ky. Dec. 19.-The
Powers trial took a decidedly sensa-
tional turn today when the defense IN
an effort to break down the direct tes-
timony of Henry Youtsey, an accom-
plice in the Goebel murder, who was
brought from the state prison today TO
testify. introduced two fellow convicts
from the state prison named William
Mullins and Floyd Helton to contradict
Youtsey and show that he had said TO
them in prison that Powers was in :
nocent as an unborn babe" and that he
himself had fired the shot that killed
Goebel; that Powers and Howard had
nothing to do with It, and that he was
forced to testify against them to save
his own life.
When put on the stand both Mullins
and Helton declined to answer ques-
tions asked them and the judge was
powerless to compel them. Helton re-
fused to open his lips even when the
Judge interrogated him. Eli Collins, a
recently released convict took the
stand and declared that Youtsey had
asserted the innocence of Powers and
Howard.
Grant Roberts. former postmaster at
frankfort, who at the time of the
tragedy was a clerk in the state audi
tors office, testified today that a rifle
mysteriously disappeared from vault
where he had placed 1t before the
shooting. Witness saw Youtsey with
the weapon ffteen minutes after the
shooting. when the rife was delivered
to the vault.

of December IA at mining camp called
The Potrero, about 100 miles southeast
from Ensenada, by the Mexican police
on an order issued to Governor Vega
through the secretary of state at WASH

Mexican government at Mexico City.
HOFFMAN. the Pinkerton detective in
charge of the hunt, accompanied the po-
lice into the mountains and was present
at the time of the arrest.
The photograph sent from Connecticut
corresponds with Walkers description
and the number in the case of the watch
he carried is the same as that sent out
by the Pinkertons.
He confesses that he is the man want

only $4,000 in cash and about $325, 600 in

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-George Rex Clark,
the blind boy who graduted from the
University of Chicago Tuesday, wants to
make politics his life work. He made a
special study of politics in college, and
intends soon to take an active part In
the affairs of his ward, the Seventh. He
aspires, first, to become an alderman, but
hopes to climb high on the political ladder.
politics, / believe, makes great field
for blind men, and / am surprised that
more of them are not In it," said Clark
Yesterday. There is no doubt that the
blind man could be good and efficient
politician if he would. Blindness in itself
should not be a great handicap. On the
contrary, it might aid. 1t might give one
more time for reflection and consideration
of the problems of state"
Speaking OF the benefits Of his college
education he said: college education Is
a questionable luxury. 1t has been
question to me whether the four years
time man puts In is worth the while.
In one way it isn't worth 1t. But for a
blind man college education is the best
thing possible.
'I believe that every state ought to set
aside $4,000 year for fund to send each

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.--At session
which lasted less than ten minutes the
Republican county committee of New
York county tonight by an almost unan-
imous vote refused to consider at this
time d resolution indorsing Governor
Charles e. Hughes for the Republlcan
presidential nomination.
No sooner had the resolution been Of
fered by friends of the governor and its
adoption moved than there came motion
to receive and print the document and
make 1t special order for the regular
meeting in January.
This latter motion was carried with a
shout that could be heard far out into
the street
Immediately motion to adjourn was
also carried.
During the late afternoon the executive
committee had somewhat heatedly dis
cussed the subject for three-quarters OF
an hour, and finally, on motion of Con-
gressman Parsons, 1t had been agreed by
vote of 377 to 95 that consideration of
the Hughes resolution should be deferred
for one month.
Before the meeting was called to order
several members of the committee were
busy distributing buttons proclaiming
Speaker Cannon as the next presidential
nominee.
In discussions following tne adjourn
ment of the committee tonight many OF
the most ardent supporters of Governor
Hughes declared that the action OF the
committee in deferring his Endorsement
could not be construed as inimical to Mr.
Hughes candidacy.
On the contrary, it was said that there
was general disposition on the part OF
the members to sound the sentiment Oh
| the voters at large before the committee
| committed itself. These men declared the
resolution would be unanimously passed

1t now remains with the State
Senate to decide whether Thad NJ
Talcott (Rep) of South Bend or f
Volney Bingham (Dem.) of Misha-
waka shall represent St. Joseph
county in that branch of the legis-
lature. Bingham holds the certificate
of election, but Talcott has contested
and is prepared to open the contes'

is in session.
A mass of evidence has been sub
mitted and sworn to or both sides
and this is in the hands of two jus
tees of the peace, ready to be turned
ovr to the Senate when the Commit
tee on Elections calls for it.
From a nonpartisan standpoint, the
best information obtainable is to the
effect that both the Republicans and
the Democrats resorted to question
able tactics in the election, with the
Democrats possibly getting the more
benefits. Mr. Bingham is not dispose J
to give up his seat. now that he holds

Archbishop Ireland spoke at the
Immaculate Conception Church "a
Minneapolis Sunday evening on the
church separation law now being en-
forced in France. His sermon was ill
defense of the church in France and
its struggles against the Govern
ment He reviewed exhaustively the
relations OF the church and state in
that country during the last quarter
of century.
The archbishop denied that the
church is opposed to the law of sep
aration, but declared that it must be
fair separation, carrying with it the
liberty and justice that separation
means in this country or in England
or in Germany He told OF the pri
mary causes of the trouble in France
blaming a few demagogues and agi-
tators who have a hold on the Re
public. The archbishop said that this
class had forced the issue and de-
clared the trouble would continue
and that the church in the end would
defeat the efforts of the state and
come into the full exercise of its
rights and liberties.

Money. Markets and Business.

Another year has drifted by, and
such a year as it has beenl To the
commercial world it has been a year
of satisfactory conditions; from all
sections almost all of the time have
come reports of unparalleled pros
perity. Trade records have been brok
en- right and left; in fact, the coun-
try has almost had more business
than it could attend to. Pass the
year. with the observation that the
country has never experienced such a
business year.
Remembering that at the opening
of the year it was said that it would
be next to impossible to increase the
volume of business done during 1905
during period of twelve months,
it is obvious that commercial leaders
are averse to predicting that the vol
ume of business in 1907 will exceed
that of the year just closed. 1t can
not be denied, however, that the out
look is brighter than it was a year
ago There is not the feeling of hes
itation that there was a year ago.
The scarcity of labor is one OF the
few drawbacks. Retrenchment on the
part of large concerns will be due
to this rather than to any misgivings
as to the permanency of existing con
ditions The compelling considera-
ton with the ordinary business man
the one that always looms up in any
analysis of the business situation. is
that agricultural conditions through
out the country are satisfactory AMI
have been for many seasons past
Large crops year after year, at strong
prices, have put the tilling class in a
position, financially, never reached
before Agriculture is the basis oil
the Nations welfare, and with reason
it is figured that fa1ure, a very re
mote possibility, of any important
crop during the coming year would
not cut very important figure. 1t is
this fact that always comes to the
mind of those tempted to believe tina
New York stock prices are too high
OF course, there are interests tina
are always declaring that a reaction
is bound to come, but even these
have showed along the date on which
it is to begin into the dim and dis
tant future
