APPEARS TO Be A MISTRIAL
Jury in Caleb Powers Case Un-
able to Agree.

Louisville, Jan. A telephone
message from Georgetown stated
that the jury in the Powers case had
reported to the court that they could
not agree. The judge, however, sent
the twelve men back to their room
with instructions to deliberate further.
The trial is the fourth which Caleb
Powers has been compelled to stand.
The first in 1900 resulted in a con-
viction with a sentence of life i'm
prisonment. This judgment and ver-
dict was reversed by the court of ap-
peals.
The second trial in 1902 resulted in
a life sentence. This was later set
aside on the ground that Judge Jam es
G. Cstntrill had refused to vacate the
bench upon a motion filed by the de-
fense.
The third trial resulted in a verdict
of guilty and the death penalty was
imposed. Following this sentence the
case was taken away from the state
courts by Judge IA. M. !. Cochran of
the United States district court and
the accused became a federal pris-
oner and was confined in the New
port Jail. The case was appealed to
the supreme court of the United
States, but by that tribunal was re-
turned to the state courts and Powers
once more was brought back to the
iail here

EmpIoye Of Defunct Frisco Trust Conn.,
pany Confesses.
San Francisco, Jan. l.-Another
sensational chapter was added to the
California Safe Deposit and Trust
company scandal when H. T. Storrs,
one of the bookkeepers Of the con-
cern, broke down under a merciless
cross-examination and confessed that
the false entries in the books were in
his handwriting and had been made
under orders from j. Dalzell Brown,
the imprisoned manager of the bank,
and J. D. Robertson, the fugitive as
slstant secretary.
: The confession made by Storrs was
complete In every respect and estab-
lished the fact that nearly $1,00O,0O0
had been falsely added to the assets
of the bank in order to deceive the
state commissioners. More than $780,.
600 had been fraudulently added to
the accounts of Brown, Walter ]. Bart
nett and the San Francisco and San
Joaquin Coal company alone: In or:
der to balance the books Storrs said
that like sum had been charged
against depositOrs in the bank.

Tenstrike Debate Was Good.

Charles Hughes returned this
morning from Tenstrike, where he
has been visiting since Friday even.
ing. ~
Mr.. Hughes speaks in enthusiastic
terms of the debate which was held
at Tenstrike last Friday evening.
under the auspices of the newly
organized literary society.
According to Mr.. Hughes, the
subject of the debate was Resolved,
that circumstances make the man.
and the arguments, both for the
affirmative and the negative, were
presented in very able manner.
r. c. Hayner was the principal
speaker for the affirmative side, and
he made a good argument, being
assisted by Mrs. Elmer Bryant, D.
0. Driscoll, S. F. Thompson and
Rev. Bascom.
Henry Stechman was the leader
of the negative side, and his forcible
arguments were ably seconded by
George Hooper, Charles Carter, Mrs.
Hayer, and Rev. Feart of this city.
The verdict of the judges (which
included the entire audience) was in
favor of the negative.
From other sources we learn that
Mr.. Hughes and Mayor Pogue of
this city were impartial in their re-
marks for both sides.

COUNTESS OF YARMOUTH.

trial of Harry K. Thaw, brother
of the countess, who is to be tried
Monday next for the second time for
the murder of Stanford White at New
York. -
1t is said when the trial was about
to begin Yarmouth went to Egypt and
lived in seclusion in the select colony
of English folk who reside there dur
ing the winter months. The second
cause is said to be the action of the
Thaw family in determining upon an
insanity plea for Harry Thaw.
From reports received here from
London during the past month it is
said Yarmouth objected to insanity
figuring in the New York Thaw trial
on the ground that it would have: a
direct influence On the succession Of
the Yarmouth estate in the event
there was all issue from the marriage.

cause the present time Is not regard
