HIM TO WIN-WALkER THINKS
POWERS is INNOCENT.

There is one man in Richmond
ers-the man now on trial for compli-
city in the death Of Ex-Governor Gobel
is so great that he would have the
famous kentuckian released, and the
charges placed against him scattered
TO the forewinds. The man is Cecil
Walker. day clerk at the Arlington
hotel. who was formerly a Schoolmate
ker says he would not have Powers
released if he did not think the char.
without ground and the man innocent
A little academy nestled in the Dret-
ty valley near Barbersvilie, Ky,
known throughout that section of the
state as Barbersville school, was the
place where Walker met Powers and
where they were thrown together in
pursuing the old fashioned curriculum
of the quaint school.
Powers was the most brilliant boy
in the academy SAYS Walker. Through
extraordinary intelligence displayed
by the youngster. he soon became a
general favorite with the teachers He
was also well liked by the Students
Easy for him were the sums which
proved such stumbling blocks for his
classmates. He was lightning fast
with figures and arithmetic seemed to
Ne his strong point.
Went into Politics.
Powers extraordinary mental char
acteristics and thOughtfulness won
him his place as secretary of state for
Kentucky. for almost Immediately af-
ter he had completed his school and
college course he entered actively into
the political game, and was soon plac-
ed in a state office. The same win
ming traits that had characterized
Powers as q boy won for him the con-
fidence Of his fellow workers in the
political field, aud when the name of
Powers was suggested for the repubii-
can state ticket. it seemed the most
natural thing in the world that there
should be no objection to him.
Walker says that he still thinks an
unruly and spiteful mountaineer was
responsible for the death of Governor
Goebel. He says he does not think
Powers was in any way connected
with a scheme TO kill the governor,
and the act was not premeditated.
Walker is taking great interest in
the trial of his old school mate and
hopes to see him freed. He thinks too
that this will be the inevitable result.

HURRY REPORT ON TARIFF.
Experts Reminded German Treaty
VIII Need Legislation.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The State de-
partment has intimated to the experts
who were sent to Germany to confer
with German experts and to compare
notes relative to the complaints against
the American tariff schedule that it
would like to have report before the
middle of February. This request was
made necessary by the fact that if any
legislation is necessary to give effect to
the recommendations of the tariff ex-
perts, at least two weeks time will be
required to perfect it.
While it is hoped by the department
that as the result of their conferences
with the Germans, the American ex-
perts will be able to recommend some
changes in administration that could be
effected by mere amendment of the
rules by the secretary of the treasury,
it is regarded as probable that the
changes recommended will be such as
will require legislation. In this latter
ease If congressional action upon the
cannot be expected before
he adjournment of the present session.
men 1t will be necessary to ask the Ger
nan government to again extend the
of the present German law
.,dmitting America to the privileges Of
ne minimum tariff in Germany.

BLOCKS WAY

Western Men Do Not Like Presidents
Timber Order.
Inquiry by Special Agents Ta' es Too
Much Time-Mary Bills Proposed
to Change Coal and on Land
Laws--Sell Timber Only and Keep
Land.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Western meE
in congress do not take kindly to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's order holding up every
public land entry, pending investiga-
tion OF each individual case by special
agent. The president, upon advice OF
Secretary Hitchcock, made this order
in the expectation that congress, in or
Ider to relieve the congestion, would
hastily appropriate money to permit
the employment Of vast number Of
special agents, but it seems that no
such liberality will be shown if the
Western men adhere to their present
opinion. They are now, in most in
stances, inclined to believe that the
presidents order was too sweeping and
that it will work more harm than good.
Mr. Hitchcock, however, is firmly con-
WINGED that this is the only way to-
head off fraudulent entries. But as
one experienced Westerner said:
"Who is to guarantee the honesty OF
several hundred special agents?"
Senator Hansbrough, chairman OF
the committee on public lands, will
renew his fight to secure the repeal OF
the timber and stone act and the sub
stitution OF law authorizing the sale
of government timber at not less than
its appraised value. Mr.. Hansbrough |
has drawn new bill which shall re-
serve to itself title to all public timber
land and sell only the timber. The
bill stipulates that persons residing in
the immediate vicinity of any govern.

cost, not to exceed 100000 feet, b. NJ,
