JENKINS FAMILY TROUBLES.
Father and Sons All Indicted by
Grand Jury.

NEW WORK, December 11.-John q.
Jenkins. formerly president of the First
National Bank of Brooklyn, and his three
sons were indicted by the Kings county
grand Jury today on charges or conspi-
racy and perjury. This is the first indict-
ment against the elder Jenkins, but his
sons already had been indicted on other
charges. They are John G. Jenkins. jr.,
former president of the jenkins Trust Com
pany: Frank Jenkins, former president of
the Williamsburg Trust Company, and
Frederick Jenkins, director in these in
stitutions.
The doors of these institutions were
closed several weeks ago. The four Jen-
kins had been warned that they would
be wanted in court and were present to
be arraigned. Their counsel pleaded not
guilty in their behalf, and bail for John
G.. Jenkins, sr., was fixed at $1,000. while
that of his sons was made $500, as they
cases.
The charges against them are based on
the loans alleged to have been made by
the First National Bank of Brooklyn and
the two trust companies to the accused
men. 1t is charged that they engaged
in a conspiracy to secure these funds in
excess of 10 per cent c. the paid-in capi-
tai stock of the various concerns. and
that reports to the state superintendent
of banks were so falsified by them as to
conceal the facts that the loans were
made. The charges of perjury were based
on this alleged concealment.

DELEGATES By PRIMARIES.
Novel Situation Confronts the Re-

Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, December 1.-THE
prospect Of going to a primary election
through the snow in overcoats and hfp
boots, something never heard of before
In this state. confronts the republicans
Of Ohio now. Chairman Walter Brown
of Toledo of the republican state central
committee spent last night here con-
serring with State Insurance Commits
sioner Arthur l. vorys, the Taft leader,
and left for Chicago later. saying that
he would not call the committee together
vention until after the holidays
The call will be issued in a few DAYS
and will no doubt fix the date of the
meeting, Immediately after New Year,
that will give just the required thirty
days time that must intervene between
the call and the state convention. which
Is to be the first week in February.
1t will require all the counties to have
their primary elections during January
The earliest convention in the history of
the party here was March II, when Nc
kinley was a candidate for the presi-
dency for the first time. There is no law
in Ohio by which a state primary election
can be held, but the state committee,
which is supreme in the party, can pro-
vide in its call that the delegates to the
convention must be elected at regular
primary elections and county committees
will thus be forced to choose their dele
gates or run the risk of having them
barred from the state convention. The
Ohio election laws do provide for county
primary elections.
Representative H. c. Bannon of Ports
mouth, who was here yesterday. stated
that he favored a later date than the
first week in February for the state con-
vention. and he Is an ardent supporter of
Senator Foraker. 1t is being interpreted
as an indication that Senator Foraker
wants more time to prepare for the state
convention.

LEXINGTON, KY. December 11.-Henry

the penitentiary for alleged completely
with Caleb Powers, Gov. w. S. Taylor
James Howard and others in the plot
which cost Senator William Goebel his
life, Is today undergoing cross-examina-
ton at the hands Of Maj. w. c. Owens
which has already greatly weakened the
charges he made against Powers in his
direct examination. Youtsey has contra
dicted himself on several statements.
Maj. Owens is bringing out with much
emphasis the conflicting stories told by
Youtsey at various times concerning the
case, and Youtsey, like other ear-wit-
nesses. is taking refuge in Il don't re-
member"
The commonwealth will likely close lts
case tomorrow after a statement OF the
defense as to what it expects to prove
Powers will be the first witness called
to the stand In his own defense.
Today Youtsey admitted that some OF
his statements were untrue.
Most Damaging Evidence.
Youtsey has given the most damaging
evidence so far produced against Pow
ers, but under the grilling cross-exami-
nation of Judge w. c. Owens he weak
ened and became badly tangled. On di-
rect examination Youtsey told of numer-
Gus plots to kill Goebel participated in
by Powers and Gov. w. S. Taylor. He
swore that suggestions were madS by DIR.
w. r. Johnson to blow uD Goebel with
nitroglycerin in his room at the Capitol
Hotel, and when that plan was abandoned
Johnson suggested sending bottle of
poisoned whisky to Goebel in the name of
Senator Joe Blackburn or some other
prominent democrat. Youtsey says he OPP
posed that because Goebel did not drink
much and others might secure it. Johnson
abandoned both plans when the idea was
suggested to shoot him from the window
Of Powers office.
II told Gov. Taylor about all these
Powers acquiesced in all plots to kill Goe-
bel, and offered his office for the
use of any man who would kill Goe-
bel, and fixed his door so 1t would open
easily In telling of Goebel's murder.
Youtsey repeated the same story he had
already told three times. He said that he
accompanied James Howard to Powers
Office, raised the window, drew the blind
and pointed Goebel out to Howard. How
ard took careful aim at Goebel and Yout-
sey says he left the room. In minute
there came rifle shot. followed by some
he tried to cross fence near the capitol.
He did not again see Howard.
The prosecution sprang a surprise on
the defense by introducing various de-
malls that Youtsey had made of the truth
of his story, Youtsey saying they were
him in securing new trial. This ended
Youtseys direct examination.

small-boned short bodied type little

there is a ditferece Of 40 to so per
