4 MOST PERPLExNG VOYAGE

New Orleans. La, Dec. es.--Of the many ships which make mysterious and oftentimes venturesome voyages from New Orleans to Central American ports, not one has made such per- picking trip as the steamer Alps. to- day reported ashore on Giover's reef of the coats of British Honduras.
 Not dozen persons knew when the Alps left here that she carried William Adler and Moses Schwartz. respective Iy the heads of two of New Orleans largest firms which have since gone into the hands of receivers. Adler. in addition. was one of the city'si lead ing bankers. The Alps carried about s25,0o0 worth of groceries from Ad- ler's wholesale grocery firm.
 The Hondnran government to which this cargo was consigned, has been ask ed by it's consul here to detain the shipment and also to look for arms on the Alps. The consul claims the groceries were not intended for his government. An explanation offered by Adler's friends is that he hopes to recoup his firms losses by selling the groceries at Central American ports.
 Today's dispatches do not indicate that the Alps is In serious danger but the fact that she is an old boat may make 1t impossible to save her cargo.
 As the Alps did not reach Puerto Cortez. the port for which she cleared. on time. much speculation as to the steamers real destination was started and the consul here for Honduras cabled his government the full details of the Schwartz Adler affair and asked if the large cargo of stores which had been taken out of the Adler grocery store and consigned to the govern ment of Honduras. was really intended for his government.
 The cable message received by the United Fruit Company was brief. sim ply stating the position of the steamer and saying that aid had been sent from Port Btlize. A mate of the Alps made his way from the steamer to Port Be- iize and reported the accident.

JURY IS NsTRDcED
CALEB POWERS TRIAL IS NEARING
 THE END.
Mother And Sister of Noted Prisoner Will Be In Court Monday To Hear The Argu-,
 unentm.

Georgetown, Ky, Dec, 2S-Little was done in the Caleb Powers trial to- day The entire forenoon was Ntaken up in reading official transcripts of this and former trials for the purpose of calling the jurys attention to all legged contradictions in the testimony of certain witnesses who have testi- fled in this and former trials.
 Official stenographer Clarence Walker was on the stand for nearly three hours for this purpose. The testimony of several witnesses was at- tackled, certain alleged discrepancies fp their testimony at this and former trials being pointed out. Both sides closed rebuttaI at II o'clock and it was announced that all evidence in the case was closed.
 At the conclusion of the testimony, Attorney Wilson for the defense offer ed 8 motion to exclude certain DOT tions of testimony on the grounds Of immateriality. This testimony related to the bringing of the mountain army to Frankfort and the acts and declara- tions of its members, the acts of the state election commissioner, or any acts or declaration of witness brought to Frankfort to testify in the contest cases, acts or declaration of Governor Bradley Governor Taylor and Adjutant General Collier in their official capaci- ty, :n prosecuting the contest or in calling, out the state troops, acts or 'declarat tions of any of the alleged con spirators independent of their rela- tions with Powers
 The motion concluded with a state ment that Youtsey Is a self-confessed principal in the crime Judge Morris announced that in view of the decision of the Kentucky court of appeals, on former trials he could not exclude the testimony and over-ruled the motion. Some legal suggestions which the de- fense asked the court to embody in his final instruction to the jury, were then presented and submitted by the court for the approval of the attorneys of the commonwealth.
 Upon reconvening of court after the noon recess, Judge Morris delivered his instructions to the jury. The in- structiops which are almost identical ly the same as those delivered by special Judge Robbins on the third trial of Powers. simply deals with the existence of a conspiracy to murder Goebel. If the jury believes from evil dence, beyond reasonable doubt, Powers guilty of being an accessory as charged. Judge Morris said they should find him guilty and fix his punishment at death or life imprison- ment After the instructions had been read, court adjourned until Monday. when the arguments will begin. It was announced that Mrs. Elizabeth Powers, mother of Caleb Powers, and his sister. Mrs. Rebecca Green. would arrive on Monday to attend the clos Ing days of the trial

Ever since the report that President Roosevelt had cohsepted to permit the troops to remain intGoldfield provid- ed the Governor would call an extra session, the feeling on both sides has been that the troops will remain and that the Governor can hardly refuse to ignore the call. The Indications are tonight that the call will be Issued.
 The mine owners are jubilant over the new turn of afairsl and while re- fusing to say what their program 6 procedure will be. openly assert that they will now be in position to car ry every point they have contended for.

F Mahoney. president of the Western Federation of Miners. says that the going or staying of the troops will have no effect on the plans of the union miners. and that neither he nor the officers of the local union are con cerned about the troops. The plan to be pursued provided the legislature is favorable, is, it seems, now to form a body of rangers, such as Arizona has and to station them in Goldfield as long as there Is a possibility of trouble Sheriff Ingalls, Is. however. proceed ing to organize his force of deputy sheriffs and today new deputies to the number of twenty were sworn in. making his available force now 100 fully armed men, some of whom will be mounted.

 President Eliot of Harvard stated at the meeting of the committee:
