Georgetown. KY, Nov. 9.-For the
fourth time Caleb Il. Powers. Ken
tucy's most noted prisoner, will be
placed on trial Monday. charged with
completely in the murder OF Govern
or William Goebel. For seven years
and eight months Powers has been
behind the bars. the center of one
of the bf:terest battles ever wagar
In this land OF feuds and blooishad.
As result OF his three convictions.
sentence OF death has been passed
upon Powers once and sentence OF
life imprisonment twice. The at
tempt of Powers to secure the re-
moval OF his case from the state
courts to the United States circuit
court was fruitless, the United States
supreme court refusing TO uphold
the order Of removal which the de
PENDANT had secured.
Powers Is a Republican and war
the secretary OF state of Kentucky
under former Governor w. S. Tay-
Tor. When Senator Goebel, the
Democratic contestant for governor
was assassinated In 1900, Governor
Taylor and Secretary Powers were.
charged with the crime. Taylor fed
to Indiana, and is now a resident OF
that state, extraditlon papcrs having
been ignored by the Hoosier execu-
tivss. Powers was arrested on
March 10. 1900, and since that time
has been for most of the time an
occupant Of the Georgetown Jail.
There Is no reason to think, and II
Is not claimed by those who havc
been so determined in their e@orts
ito secure conviction, that Powers
shot Goebel. Tho shot that killed
Goebel ID believed to have come
from a window of Powers offce III
the state capitol at Frankfort, ana
this Circumstance Is the basis OF The
prosecution.
Whether or not Powers Is guilty.
1t is generally believed that the as
sassination OF Goebel grew out of
thu fierce partisan conflict between
Fhe followers of Taylor and Goebel.
On the face OF the returns Taylor
had been elected by majority OF
over 1000. Powers was one OF the
leaders In that intense political
struggle. He was at that time abouf
30 years Of age. He hailed from
tho mountain regions OF kentucky
and was very popular there. These

better and purer; that the price is too nigh, and that the city could not make interest on the investment proposed.
 It has been estimated that the city's Nineteenth street spring could be con- nected with the spring at the shops a 100000 gallons water reservoir con- structed and many other improvements made for few thousand dollars-much less than 1t would cost to put the old compsny's water plant in condition. It is said this would cause no further expense for the pumping.
 Might Secure Change of Contract
 It has been suggested, also, that the city might secure a change In the rail- road pumping contract should it seek to do SO. The old contract was made with the saving clauses to the railroad at a time when the whole proposition was theoretical. There had been DO and 1t was feared that it might not work out exactly as figured. Now that there has been three years the matter should be fgur- ed so that the option to charge more than a stipulated price for stipulated service could be removed.
 City Has PrOmiBo oR Business
 h answer 10 the contention that the income iromthe old electric lighting and water plant is $500, it is said the city has been promised nearly all ofHthat which comes from water, estimated at from $I25 to Sl5O per month.
The daily Alaskan., 1907-05-24

The question of the hour in Skagway is, shall the city buy the water-wOrks and electric lighting plant Of the Northwest Light & PowerCompany2i It is understood 8 majority of the city council, from the partial investigation they have made, are inclined iavOrably toward the proposition of the company to part with lt to the city for S25,OOO, but che Daily Alaskan is informed chat aconcluston has not been reached by any means The public generally is taking sides in the matter, the maj rity among the business men being appar- oau,Iy gainsg the proposition.
 The importance Of this matter makes a brief resume of the present situation and the arguments for and against the purchase of lhe plant timely.
 Prasout Situation
 IL is conceded that these negotiations are to give the city an uniailing water slpp'y, first, and to eliminate the obli. gatl5us of the city, under the contract in force, to the railroad which pumps the water supply of the city from the spring at the shops to the reservoir on the mountain side above them, The city now pays sI0Oper month for this pump ing and furnishes water to the railroad the White Pass Athletic Club, the official shack" next to the club building, and the railroad offices. The contract provides that should the price prove insufficient
The daily Alaskan., 1907-05-24

the railrroad can rise the cost of it's pumping to $50 per month and that ii two pumps should be required to run at the same time to pr0viJe the water needed, the cost Of the pumping can be raised to 52OO 8 month. However, the pumping has been.done for thro year at the minimum cost mentioned,and there has been DO intimatiOn that there will be a raise or that raise is being or or ever has been considered,
 The water supply is admitted to be ample in the summer time, but dImin- isbed last winter, which was long and cold, SO that it was feared there might be 8 failure of 1t on some important occasion. IL is estimated, however, that there was DO time during the winter that four streams of water could not have been kept playing on 8 fire for from four to five hours before the water would run out
 The ci5y council appointed a com. mittee to investigate the sources of water supply for this city. Mr. Me- Gratb is chairman of the committee. He took the question of supply up with the Northwest Light & Power company and the latter company said it was im- practicable to consider anything unless it included the purchase of the lighting plant.
 What Advoo ats8 Say Those who support the purchase of the water and light plant urge that it affords the city m opportunity to get
The daily Alaskan., 1907-05-24

an unialliug water supply, (though they admit that it would cost several thou sand dollars in addition to the S25,OoO investment to develop ltl, chat it would be a profitable lnYes'mert
 In support of the last named proposi- tlon they say the management of the company claims to have an income of $500 a month, that the city would get this and save the 8lOO per month for pumping and the half of the street lighting bill which has been paid the railroad comp ,ny-about st8OO per year, all told
 What Opposition Says
 Those who oppose the purchase say the city has plenty of water now; that the railroad company has shown no dis position to act otherwise than in good faith in the declaration that it seeks only to make the actual cost of the pumping; that the old water system is worn out, unfit for service and in position where 1t must go out of busi- aess or have thousands of dollars eE- pended upon it, that it would cost less by several hundred per cent. to more than double the supply the city has in theR north end Of town than 1t would cost to make the supply of the old com pany adequate to the city's needs lto say nothing of the original investmentl that the water now used by the city is warmer and less likely to freeze than the old company's water, and that it is

BOSTON CHAMBER
Of COMMERCE
HOLDS MEETING

Boston, Jan, l5.--The annual meeting
OF the Boston Chamber Of Commerce was
held today the principal business being
the report OF the board OF directors and
the election OF officers for the ensuing
year.
The board finds that there must be some
roadjustment OF the railroad rates on
grain to Boston II this city is 10 compete
with the gulf ports IN the expectation of
grain The report says: "The effect which
II was anticipated would result from the
adoption Of the rate law has begun to be
fully realized While an the North At
lantc ports are suffering 10 "A greater or
less degree from the rapid growth OF the
grain exporting business Of The gulf ports
Boston's grain business makes a relatively
poor showing. as compared with those At
lantic ports enjoying the differental rates
fixed by the Interstate commerce com
mission at the time OF the decision made
Ia May, 1915, which practically sustained
the contentious OF the differential ports.
If Boston Is 10 retain any fair pro-
portion OF the North Atlantic business in
competition with these ports and with
the st, Lawrence and provincial ports,
readjustment Of these rates must even
tually be made one thing is certain,
however. that New England is likely To
be al disadvantage IN many features ot
her railway transportation on account of
the relatively long huls TO secure not only
her food supplies. but the raw material
for the manufactures
Speaking of the tariff. the report SAYS:
mo material progress has been made to-
ward securing legislation. favorable To-
more reasonable tariff regulations be
tween our neighbors on the north and our.
selves. There is no probability OF oh
tanning any legislation AZ this time but IL
may be considered wise 10 continue the
agitation I'm the hope that by doing
II will bring nearer the time when con-
gress will undertake remodelllng OF our
tariff schedule"
