DAMAGING EVIDENCE
 AGAINST POWERS
A Witness Who Was Promised Inn munity Told the Story of the Con spiracy.

| Georgetown. Ky. Dec. 7.-Wharton
 Golden for the prosecution testified to-
 day in the trial of Caleb Powers. giv- f ing the most damaging testimony against Powers so far brought out Golden told of an alleged conspiracy | duplicating not only Powers. but Gov
 crnor Taylor. Howard. Youtsey. John | l.. Mowers and others. He related
 numerous conversations he had with Powers about the killing of GoebeI. The day Goebel was shot Golden said he was in the adjutant generals of flee where he saw Tallow. Dick Combs. Mason Hockersmith and Gardner Wal lace. the first two negroes. Combs was making threats against Goebel. declaring, "I could kill Goebel now. - - him."
 Later he saw John l.. Powers give Henry YOutsey a key to the secretary
 of states office and John Powers
 shortly afterwards told him that Goe- bel was to be killed that day. Golden
 said he protested against the killing of Goebel, but Powers said: You need not be uneasy; l gave him the
 wrong key
 Golden said afterwards that he saw
 John Powers exchanging keys with Youtsey. He was on the train with
 Powers going to Louisville when he heard that GOebel was shot. When Powers heard of the shooting he exclaimed: Its a damn shame on the people" On cross examination Golden said he did not know who fired the shots and had not arranged with anybody to do the shooting. He told how he made a confession of connec-
 ton with the assassination to Col. T c. Campbell and a reporter at a hotel

Home Sanitation.

4 general discussion of the city's
health is promised in several an
swers to the question propounded in
these columns last Saturday:
What's the matter with Washing
ton!
Those answers win all touch upon
imperfect sanitation in our alleys.
In that light there is special signifi-
cance in the resolution adopted last
night by the Chemical Society look
ing to popular lectures on house
hold sanitation All the laws, in
spection, and supervision in the
world cannot accomplish so much TO
rid a city of typhoid, tuberculosis,
and malaria as the removal of the
causes of those ediseases-and not the
least of the causes is carelessness N

indianapolis Not Alone.

We'll done, Indianapolis!' Thus
exclaims a contemporary after not
ing that the capital city of Indiana
had raised 100000 in thirty days for
the support of her young peoples
Christian associations.
indianapolis has done well, indeed.
But she is not alone. Within a few
months Baltimore, Richmond, and
Detroit have done their share
equally well, and our sister city of
Virginia has surpassed even Indian
apolis. We of Washington must not
forget our own record in this con
nection, for we have builded and
equipped as fine a Y NJ. c. \. build
ing as we could have sought, and
done so by virtue of a giving quite
as general and almost as generous
per citizen as that of indianapolis.
Thus indianapolis, with a popula-
tion of 10000 and a total fund of
100000, has a credit of $3.50 per
citizen. Baltimore, which has JUST
finished raising 100000 and has a
population of 500 1000, has a CORE
spending credit of ST. Detroit, with
2SG.000 residents. has raised S40O. 600,
or $1.4O per citizen. Richmond, with
q population of S5.O5O, has given
$225,0O0, or the unequaled average
of $500 for every man, woman and
child in the city. Washington's rec
ord is S35O,OoO, or S1.26 per citizen.
\ curious feature of all these
campaigns is that they have been of
short duration. Washington alone
excepted. they were all encompassed
within thirty days Locally, the last
Ss5,0G0-the hardest of all to get
was obtained in a month.
Two things make such achieve
ments possible. The first is a
mighty good cause. The second,
and of at least equal Importance, is
mighty hard work. In both, Balti-
more, Detroit, Richmond. and Wash
ington share the hoRors with In
dianapolis.

Some Rays of Light.


Matters are not all at skies and

isthmus of Panama, it is good TO see
According TO reports of committees
from commercial clubs in Boston,
Chicago, Cincinnati. and st. Louis,
who have just arrived at Charleston,
s. c., things are extremely favora ble
for the completion of the canal in
less than eight years.
From these statements n general
one will be prepared by the chair
men of the several groups under
whose direction they were made,
and a large and comprehensive re-
view will be issued later. These
gentlemen say that work is going on
with intelligence and zeal, and that
the officers and executive men down
on the isthmus are young and full
of unhesitating faith in their chiefs.
There is said 10 be a magnificent
esprit de corps which will lead to d
vigorous and patriotic prosecution
of the work.
Such reports come as decided rays
of light, dispelling the gloom that,
in the Northern Hemisphere, from
time to time surrounds the workings
and the prospects of this gigantic
undertaking. OF course, none of us
ever hesitate in our faith that at
some time the United States would
complete the job, but there has
been so much pickering and backing
and filling among those high up in
authority over the matter that there
were occasions when it looked as if
the whole thing might be set back
for years. The people will be glad
to hear from the commercial clubs
agents, and the sooner their report
is announced the better for the
work and for the temper of the
public.

What's the Matter
With Washington?

To the Editor OF The Washington Times:
Anent your thoughtful and spirit
awakening editorial. What IS the mat
tre with Washington am led TO make
the following observation:
Washington's chief ailment is civic
torpor. This is induced by the fact that
a large part of the population claims
citizenship elsewhere. and thus. it seems
10 me. residents are only half-heartedly
interested In those problems which per
tain to the city's advancement and we'll
being. The other part Of the residents,
though they are citizens. have no no
ticeable voice in its government As
the average stOckholdeT IN a corporation
gives little thought 20 its management,
so no man can take deep interest IN
the affairs Of his city until he helps 20
elect its governing body.

There is a man who should have

united, their arguments might have
had some weight. but Mr. Sinclair's
assertions alone are crude, profitless,
and false. For what is the comfort
and dignity of q belt encircling the
corporosity OF a fat man? Surely if
it is TO perform its part in m;in-

tUde, there can be little comfort in

Nor can we agree that suspenders
are unsightly objects. knitted of

CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY
GETS RUSSIAN LITERATURE
Famous Yudin Collection of 1000 Volumes Bought For
Two-Thirds of Its Value, and Will Soon
Be Shipped to Washington.

The magnificent Yu3in Siberian Lii
brary OF $1,000 volumes Will soon be
on its way from Russia to Washington.
where it will become a part Of the Ii
brary of Congress. Coming from the
snowy wastes OF northern Asia. where
libraries of any sort are rare, this
latest addition to the Library of Con-
gress is one Of the most important of
recent years.
The collection has been nominally pur-
chased from G. V. Yudin, a Russian
merchant of Siberia. bGt IL comes also
in the nature Of a gift. for Mr.. Yudin
let the Library Of Congress have 1t for
two-thirds of what 1t cost him. He was
influenced to this by his belief that in
the Library Of Congress IL would be-
come famous and would give to Ameri-
cans opportunities for the study Of
Russian subjects such as are not avail
able this side Of Europe or. possibly,
outside of St. Petersburg.
Discovered by A. v. Babine.,
The Yudin library was discovered by
Alexis V. Babine, formerly in the SER
vice Of the Library Of Congress. three
years ago. He saw the value Of it and
has finally persuaded Mr Yudin 10 let
the Library of Congress have it. Mr..
Babine is now in ST. Petersburg and is
mkaing arrangements for the shipment
of the $1,000 volumes to this city

mense two-story log house near his resi-
dence on the slopes Of the hills overlook
ing the broad, swift flow of the lev
EniSei river. As it neared the large
proportions IL finally attained, Mr.. Yu-
din despaired OF arranging the books in
anything like alphabetical or class or
der, and piled them on shelves as their
size permitted and ended by stacking
them on every available part OF the
flooring Of the log house.

bought, using kilograms to agents as
his instructions about what should be
sent him.
He is himself pre-eminently a bibli-
ograPheT, having already written three
volumes of a photography of Russian
literature. In his library he collected
many complete sets of. the periodicals
of Russia and Siberia, believing that
newspapers and magazines are one OF
the best mirrors of changes of sentf-
ment among the people
The collection is especially strong in
history Of Russia and Siberia. OF po-
htcal writings, and Of rare text books
on army regulations and such Important
subjects in Russia there is a wealth in
the Yudin collection.

MI. Hartman says these 3 per
cent bonds, selling at 65, represented
approximately the same fixed charge
as a 8 per cent bond selling at par;
therefore, the railroad was no worse
of so far as concerns its interest
charge. But, in the first place, the
bonds were worth a good deal more
than 65, and the treasury of the
company, not The stockholders,
should have got :he benefit. And
In the next place, when the day of
redemption comes for the larger
issue sold at lower interest, a larger
sum must be paid off. Mr. Hartman
calmly ignores this. Would a man
rather have his farm mortgaged for
$4,000 at 3 per cent or for So, 900 at
8 per cent? True, the fixed charge
would be the same; but on tie
day when the mortgage came due
he would have to pay twice as much
IN one case as in the other. Mr..
Hartman just omitted that little
detail
The best that Mr.. Hartman has to
say in favor Of his reorganization OF
Alton is, in short, TO insist that it
was legitimate. The public doesn't
agree; and the public, in this matter
of financial morals, will have its
way as against the manipulators of
