Georgetown. Ky. August Tt is be- lieved tonight that the Caleb Powers case will be continued until the Nov ember term of court. No movement has been made today toward securing special judge to succeed Judge J. E. Robbins by the prosecution. Attor- neys for the defense have written a letter to Governor Beckham who is at Rardstown. asking him to appoint judge so that the trial can proceed. but no action has yet been taken.
 Powers and those of his counsel who were still here held a conference today and are preparing a hot reply to the statemtns made by fudge Rob. bins when he was vacatng the bench. They refuse to state of what the re- ply would consist. but will likely give 1t out Saturday. Attorneys for the prosecution have all left here and will not return until a new judge Is nam ed

 About 5000 men willingly disbanded, marching without arms through the parade grounds, where according 10 rank they received gratuities ranging from 2s to 30 yen. At o'clock this morning the Minister of War read the rescript of disbandment to the higher Korean officers at the house of Gen eral HaseGawa.
 Major Paksung Huan, commander or the first battalion of the 1st Shiwa regiment. returned to the barracks ana committed suicide. This excited his subordinates and also battalion or the End Shiwas who attacked two Jap anese officers and their orderlies. one battalion. marched on the south gate where a clash occurred in which Cap tain Kajiwara and two others were killed. Over 100 Koreans escaped with their rifles and divided into two bands They are still abroad, but on account of the rain no trouble Is expected to- night.
 The rescript of disbandment begins by saying that the existing army oi hirelings Is unfit for the native defense and orders them to disband and receive a gratuity and not to commit any rep rehensible acts.

SEN. TAYIOR'SVIEWS
DECLARES THAT BRYAN WILL BE
 NOMINATED.
Says Country Needs Man Who Will Treat OMcials of Corporatiops the Same as the HumA.
 lest Citizen.

Chattanooga. Tenn. Aug. IA spe- cial to The Times from Lincoln, Neb., says:
 Tonight. while seated in the home of William J. Bryan. Senator Bob Taylor declared that Bryan was the choice of South ani that it was a foregone con- clusion that he would be nominated next year. He declared that the na- tional government has been steadily encroaching on the rights of the States and denounced the action of Judge Pritchard in North Carolina in vigor- ous terms.
 But whats the use to prate about State sovereignty?" he asked Tt per ished long ago on the field q glory at Appomattox. What's the use to hold up our constitution as a chart of safe ty? There is but one way to restore the equilibrium. It must be done at ballot box"
 He said Democracy stood for put ting the bit in the mouth of aggre- gated capital, thorough overhauling of the robber tarif system. and said the country needed a man who would treat ofi1cials of corporations who vio late the law the same as he would the humblest citizen-not by fining them, but by giving them free pass to prison.
 The struggle is coming in the vol unteer state. It will be fercer and more vigorous than ever. Certain rail roads are up to their eyes in politics in Tennessee, and are striking to con- trol its policies and to dictate its non- inees. We have a national law prohib iting free passes. but that law does not prohibit it in Tennessee, and the railroads are showering free passes everywhere over the State. and 1t Is ell for political reasons.

Philadelphia, Aug. 1.-Edmund R. Watson. President of the Northern Ma tional Bank. and Treasurer of the Henry Hess Brewing Company. of this city. met death early today in the swimming pool of the Columbia Club. one of the leading organizations of the city.
 Owing to the reticence of members of the club. some mystery at first sur rounded the tragic end of the bank eS's life. This was dispelled. however, When it was given out by several mem- bers thats MT Watson's death was &C., cidental.
 According to these members MT. Watson was standing on the spring ing board and was about to dive into the pool. when he slipped and fell. His head struck the concrete coping of the pool and with the aid of long pole MT. Watson was taken from the water in an unconscious condition. He was hurried to hospital. where he was pronounced dead by the physician. Mir. Watson was about 50 years of age.

 OF STRANGLER Shocking Tragedy in Foreign Section. LITTLE GIRLS BODY FOUND Had Been Assaulted, Killed and
 Horribly Mutilated. All of Crimes Have Been Committed in Section of New York Known
 as the Grave
LITTLE GIRLS BODY FOUND

New York, Aug 1-The Ora vc- yard, as the foreign populated neigh borhood on First Avenue between Thir- teenth and Fourteenth Streets is known locally. gave up today a fresh crime. rivalfng the notorious and mysterious butcheries of last week.
 The latest discovered victim was sn S-year-old girl and. like the two young women murdered. she has been shock tngly mistreated before death and badly mutilated when life was extinct The three murders are strikingly sim liar.
 Last Thursday night a woman was strangled in boarding house; the next morning the body of still unidentified woman. who had been choked to death was found in an areaway. Katie Pritchler. daughter of restaurant waiter. disappeared a week ago today and was killed that night. A ribbon placed about the throat and drawn so tightly that 1t cut the flesh, showed how she died If the brutalities of the murders can be qualified. that of the Pritchler girl ranks first. She was assaulted. murdered and then her lifeless form was horribly mutilated.
 ''The Graveyard" takes its name from the proximity of the old Thir- teenth Street cemetery and the local ity has been the scene of several re- volting murders. The majority of the residents are foreigners.
 Carl Pritchler, father of Katie, is a hard working. respectable citizen. He has several other children. all younger than Katie The girl left home at BIO East Thirteenth Street last Thursday night to play in the street. When she failed to return. the father notified the police. and a general alarm was sent out. The body was today discovered within a block of her home. and scarce- ly a hundred yards from the location of a placard placed by the father call ing attention to the fact that his child was lost. How the body could have remained undiscovered for a week Is not explainedI
 The girls body was stumbled upon by woman who visited the basement of the house at POS First Avenue It lay upon a berry crate with seemingly no effort at concealment.
 You can say for me-" Coroner Har- burger declared that the crimes in Berlin Of which the newspapers have told, have not been one thousandeth part as bad as the murder of this little girl"
 The coroner would not permit the body to be photographed.
 At the coroners direction, Gaetano Rippolano, whose cobble shop adjoins the girls home, was arrested and ask ed to explain his absence from his shor on last Friday. He established the fact that he had spent the day at Bris toI Conn The girl Is said to nave fire quently Rippolanos place. and 8 SC; rch of the shop brought to light 8 Ins n's shirt which bore red stains The ctobler was arraigned and remanded to the coroner
 When news of the finding or the lit tie ones body spread through the neighborhood, excitement rose to such a bitch that the removal of the body and the arrest of Rippolano caused al most a riot. Many thousands of per
