HARTFORD, OHIO COUNTY, KY. FRIDAY APRIL 5, 1907

Certain interests have worked every.
conceivable scheme to get the boat
out of this trade, and its loss would
be black eye to Hartford.
1t has been difficult to get the en-
gineers representing the Government
to do any work on this river, to keep
it clear of distractions. Last week
this paper took the matter up with
Engineer Oversreet, who is in charge
of Green and Rough rivers, with bead
quarters at Bowling Green, and re-
ceived the following letter in re-
sponse:
Bowling Green, KY, April 2, 1907
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 30th, ul-
timo, Just received. In reply, desire
to say that a boat and snagging party
will be dispatched at once to your
river and, it is hoped, that the great
er of the distractions may be remov-
ed without delay. | am sorry that the
rivers has become so obstructed but If
the stage continues favorable / think
we may be able to relieve your dis
tress in a short time. This party
should reach the vicinity you
refer to by not later than the 9Th,
instant, anyway"

Ne Apology Needed.

The fact that no Tariff disturbing
movement is now in sight, Congress
having adjourned without paying at
tention to agitation in that direction,
is having an exhilarating influence on
business affairs in various directions
From iron manufacturers and steel
mills come reports to the effect that
new orders are coming in more rap
idly than deliveries can possibly be
made, and in many important lines
night and day operation are not suffi-
cient to even keep up with current
requirements. This is q situation
which makes necessary no apologies
or explanations so far as the advocates
of protection are oncerned.-Cadillat

PLAN TO TEST
Juvenile court ACT.
H0pkinSville Case Will be Taken
to Court of Appeals for
Final Determination.

Hopkinsville, KY, April 2.-The for
NAL steps have been taken prepara-
tory to the testing of the new Juven-
lie Court law in the case of Charles
Tuck and Jim Moore, two colored
boys, claiming to be thirteen and four
teen years of age, who were convicted
of throwing stones into an Illinois
Central passenger car in this county.
The jury fixed as their punishment a
fine of 5000 each and one year in the
penitentiary.
The attorney for the boys filed a
motion for new trial on the ground
that the Circuit Court did not have
jurisdiction in the case, as the new
Juvenile law expressly states that all
prisoners under seventeen years OF
age shall be tried before a Juvenile
Court. This motion was overruled
and an appeal was then prayed and
granted.
The case will be presented to the
Court of Appeals, and the question
whether or not the Juvenile Court
shall try felony cases, or, in such in
stances, these shall be submitted to
the Circuit Court, will be passed up
on. This will be the first test of the
new law and the decision of the high
er court will be anxiously awaited.

BOISE, July s.--Part OF the San
Fmncisco depositions dealing with the
bradley explosion were read to the jury
trying Haywood for his life on the
charge that he murdered former Cover
nor Stcunenberg and the balance are
TO be presented tomorrow. Reading be-
gan directly after the court sat with
Clarence Darrow and Senator Borah al
tcrnating for their respective sides aud
although they pressed ahead as fast as
possible a folio calculation made at ad.
journment showed that much Of tomor-
row will be consumed by unread afIi-
davita The depositions have an inn
portant bearing on the case but they
contained no interest for the crowd.
The attendance was the lightest since
the trial began Both sides seemed
satisfied with the showing made by the
depostions and the contents will prob
ably furnish much material for the di.
rectly opposed contention when the trial
reaches the argument stage. The state
counted II victory that Fred Bradley
had receded from his first and positive
statement that It was gas explosion
and was prepared to believe that bomb
might have been used, Bradley's first
statement was made before he knew of
Orchards confession or any Of the other
evidence locating Orchard in the vicinity
of his house The prosecution were also
pleased to have II shown that while
Bradley was still inside the door when
the explosion occurred particles of glass
from the door, hairs from the rug that
was outside the door, pieces of stone
and cement from the mosaic floor OF
the restibule were blown into his body
II will be contended that this shows con.
clusiyely that the explosion was from
the outside and could not have been
caused by gas explosion inside the
house, The defense on the other hand
Is satisfied that the depositions viii
show that it would have been impossible
for Orchard to have reached the vesti-
bule and have placed the bomb in the
manner and time described by him ami
that evidence and particularly the ex-
plosion shows that gas leak was the
cause; that there were not two explos-
ions; that Orchards testimony as to
his movements in the rear of the build
ing when he claims that he poisoned
the milk is shown by physical conditions
to be false.

MISTAKE ABOUT BATTLEsHlPS
The American Delaware Battleship Does
Not Resemble the British Dreadnaught
But is in Glass Of Its 0wn--Same
Tonnage.

WASHINGTON, July s.--"There Is
no such thing as American Dreadnaught
nor is any projected" said a distinguish.
ed naval officer yesterday. He was re.
ferring to the two great 20,000-ton bat :
tleships, contracts for which have lust
been Professionally awarded, and which
were mentioned in the congressional
debates and newspapers as of the
Dreadnaught class.
"rhe new ships should be called the
Delaware class, for, without knowing
what the second ship is to be called the
first vessel OF the kind usually fixes
the name OF the class, and Secretary
Metcalf has christened No. 2S Della
ware,' said this officer. The officer then
pointed out the difference between the
English Dreadnaught and the American
Delaware classes, going into some de-
tails as to the plans for the latter which
is not deemed polite by the navy de-
partment to make public even at this
late date. Generally stated, the salient
points Of difference were to be found
in the arrangement of the armament

lines from bow to stern and in the

At another time, Attorney Metson, Of

san FRANCISCO, July s. Th'
sentencing Of Mayor Schmitz to fv'
years in San Quentin penitentiary fol
extortion and the partial completion oI
the work Of selecting jury to try Vice.
President Glass Of the Pacific States
Telephone Company were the features
today in bribery graft proceedings. Th'
sentencing Of Schmitz was one Of tht
most dramatic scenes ever witnessed in
a western court room. At l0:45 O'Clock
in the presence oil the largest crowd that
has as yet gathered in his court room at
Temple Sheriff Israel, Judge Dunno
sentenced Mayor Schmitz to Eve years
Imprisonment in San Quentin peniten-
tiary for the crime of extoring sll75
from French restaurant keepers Of San
Francisco, Of which crime he was con-
victei by jury June l3.
As the last words of the sentence fell
fro mthe Judges lips, the great crowd
that had stood throughout the dramatic
scene, sent up thunderous cheer.
Good for you,' shouted man in the
back of the room.
His ejaculation was echoed and re-
echoed by one after another of the
spectators. Several threw their hats
into the air. Others scrambled upon
chairs to look over the shoulders Of the
crowd. The greatest confusion pre-
vailed.
Attorney Fairall of the defense, rais-
ing his voice above the din called out to
Judge Dunno:
Your Honor. this cheering is very
unseemly occurrence
'Well," retorted Judge Dunno with
spirit, ''if we had a Sheriff worthy the
name it would have been stopped in
stantly.'
Sheriff Thomas 0'Neill was standing
inside the rail. He turned to the court
and protesed:
Nobody could have stopped that,
Your Honor"
Special Agent Burns, of the prosecu-
tion, led number Of bailiffs in the cry:
Clear the court room; clear the court
room!"
But only few Of the hundreds of
curious and apparently delighted men
obeyed the command. Some OF them were
hustled unceremoniously out into the
Railways, About 100 others kept their
vantage places around the counsel
table, where Schmitz sat debating
statement to the newspaper men.
