when he asked for them she struck
him in the mouth, knocking out two of
his front teeth. The trouble gained
quite a headway and officer Frenck
was called to take Blockson away.
Former Fiance.
When interviewed by a LAKE COUNTY

had been engaged to Mrs. DuBridge
and expected to marry her some time
next month, but now as she was mar

her further. but only wanted his clothes

is really Mrs. DuBridge No. /, and that
she deserted her husband at Chicago

would soon be married. The next day

Blockson formerly lived at Chicago
Heights, but is now working as fore
man for the LaPorte Braiding company
at LaPorte.
Whether or not Mrs. Andrews will
appear at the station to make a COM
plant against Blockson is not known.
but If she does not appear before ?
o o'clock the man Will be discharged,
says Captain Austgen--
Blockson said that even If she did
not appear and make complaint
against him he wanted an officer to ac-
company him TO the house on Sohl
street that he might get his clothes
which Mrs. Andrews has been keeping
for him
I Blockson went on TO say that he had
given Mrs. Andrews numerous amounts
+ Of money since his acquaintance with

Many Exposition Visitors VIII Take
in All Cities of Southern
Atlantic Coast.

While there has been quite a large
number of votes added to those cast
for the various candidates there have
been few changes of positions during
the past few days. THE LAKE COUNTY
TIMES Jamestown contest is an assured
success now and it will be nip and tuck
until the winners are finally selected.
BY June 10 the exposition will be in
full swing and from that time until
the close it will improve in attract
iveness.
1t is true that the Jamestown ex-
position does not compare in size with
some of the larger worlds fairs that
have been held in recent years but it
is certain that in. the selection of the
site for this great exposition all of the
other projects of its kind will be put
in the shade and jamestown will stand
alone as the most attractive of all
There will be no such thing as being
confined within a few acres at James
town as al Chicago and st. Louis. The
range of activity of the jamestown
pleasure seeker will be all the way
from Washington, D. c., 10 lower Flor
ida and many of the visitors will avail
| themselves Of this opportunity to see
the cities of the whole southern Allan
tic coast
VIII RedoubIe Efforts.

unexampled in its generosity and there
Will be many a young woman who will
find that by a little pleasant work
/ among her friends she can earn her
right TO take a trip that il would take
weeks OF hard work to earn if it was
merely a question of saving up for it.
! It is still early enough TO warrant a
young woman's entering the contest
j with a good chance of winning and if
I some of the candidates that are entered
would work little harder they would

/ be made.
/ \ trip like that offered by THE LAKE

will show that they have qualities that
will make them winners IN other thar

 Washington. Nov. 1S.-Commissioner of Internal Revenue Capers. upon be- ing shown a dispatch from Cincinnati. Ohio, to the effect that he had author ized internal revenue collectors to ac- cept cashiers checks in payment Of taxes, tonight said:
 "I have never authorized internal revenue collectors to accept certified checks within themselves. because had no authority to do so. The Sec- retary of the Treasury and the Com missioner of Internal Revenue are with- out power to direct collectors to ac- cept anything but coin or lawful mon ey of the United States in payment of revenue taxes or stamps. What the equivalent of cash Is. however, is a matter the collectors has to decide for himself because he is under bond.
 But fin order to relieve the situa- ton, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue has directed tax payers or rather has suggested to them that they get a certificate of deposit from any national bank depository, file that cer- tificate of deposit from any national bank depository with the collectors and on the receipt of that certificate of deposit, the collectors can issue the stamps or the receipt to the tax payer.H

TRIAL
THE DEFENSE FILES A BILL or
 EXCEPTIONS.
Two Questions VIII Go Before The Federal Court If Any Verdict Short of Acquittal is
 Rendered.

Georgetown, Ky. Nov. 1s-Two question win go before the Federal court, if any verdict short of acquittal shall result from the present trial or Caleb Powers.
 This was made certain today when Attorney S. M. Wilson tendered bill of exceptions, challenges of the jurors already sworn. challenge of the venire last summoned and affidavit of Caleb Powers and others preparing without doubt for grounds for trial in the Supreme Court of the United States.
 Attorney Franklin for the prosecu- tion was given time to digest the af- fidavits offered by the defense and to prepare for a hearing. Court adjourn ed before the examination was com pleted The motion and affidavit filed by the defense seeks to set aside call ing for a venire from Harrison county on the ground that the sheriff of Scott county did not go in person to Harrison county to summon the Veniremen.
 In Powers affidavit he gives the political history of his case beginning with his election as Secretary of State through to the assassination of Goebel and charges that the case has been the subject of political agitation since 1900, that the Democratic party campaign managers have devoted their efforts to fastening the commission of the
  upon the affiant as a matter of the party.
 In other respects, Powers affidavit corresponds with that filed in support of the challenge of the jurymen quali- fled. That challenge affirms that in sending his deputies to Harrison coun- ty. Sheriff Warning telephoned to the sheriff of that county. who Is alleged to be Democrat and Goebelite. re- questing two Harrison county depu- ties to assist in the selection of the venire men. that in discharging that duty, they purposely overlooked a large number of citizens of Republican and independent politics. because they might be disposed to give the defen- dant a fair trial. The statement fur ther affirms that Sheriff lwarring dis obeyed the order of the court by not summoning the venire himself in the first place and secondly By not re- quiring them to be summoned without outside aid.
 The argument and the examination of witnesses will begin tomorrow morning.
