Also Freed, as PlOtter in
GOebel Assassination.
KENTUCKY'S EXECUTIVE
TELLS WHY HE ACTED
Wins Fourth Battle in Tragedy,
Chapters in Which Whole
World Watched.

FRANKFORT, KY, June 13.-Caleb
Powers and Jim Howard, convicted OF
completely in the assassination of Sem
ator William Goebel, were pardoned by
Governor Wilson today. Powers was
tried four times, the last trial result
ing in a disagreement.
Caleb Powers was released from jail
and went at once to a hotel.
Howard was released from the peni-
left for Louisville.
Governor Wilson gave out reasons
for the pardon.
Caleb Powers was charged with be
ing accessory before the fact to the
wilful murder of Goebel." The appli-
cation was supported by petitions rec
ommending the pardon of the accused,
signed by nearly 100000 persons. some
100000 Kentuckians, and a large propor-
ton are Democrats.
Governor wilson's statement says

may be it will be harshly criticised.

BODY Of SUPPOSED
{. ORANGE WOMAN
FOUND IN HOTEL
Victim of Escaping Gas Believed
to Be Miss Sadie
SaItzstein.
MEMBER OF SELECT
FAMILY In ORANGES
Tragedy Occurs in WOman's HO-
tel in Abingdon Square,
Manhattan.

A beautiful young woman, believed
to be Miss Sadie Saltzstein, of S6 Carle-
ton street, one of the most exclusive
sections of East Orange, was found
dead today in a room in the Trowmart
Inn, a woman's hotel. in Abingdon
square, Manhattan.
The gas was turned on and not
lighted. and death was from asphyxia-
tion. The first report that reached the
Oranges said that there was a suspi-
cion of murder in the case.
The young woman. who had been
making pin money working as a stenog-
rapher in the Wall street district. left
two notes, one addressed to Mrs. Shep-
pard, the housekeeper of the inn, and
the other to Miss Bessie Coyne, Orange.
These letters were turned over to
Coroner Shrady when he took charge
of the case.
The fact that she had left the letters
led the police to at once send out the
hasty report that death was the result
of suicide.
It had been the custom of Miss Saltz-
stein to remain in Manhattan over
night, when she would be detained
there late at work, or when she would
20 to a theatre. On these occasions
she invariably went to the Trowmart
Inn. which is exclusively for women.
She was well known there and had a
high reputation.

ness Experiment.
Especial to the Evening Star. ]

FORTRESS MONROE, Va, June 13.
The crack New Jersey-buil monitor
Florida was again made the target
for American gunners today, in the
second experiment conducted by the
/, Navy Department to determine the re-
sistance of armor plate to the fire of
heavy guns and torpedoes and once
again came out victorious.
The most powerful Whitehead that is
made was used.
The missile hit the Florida a terrific
blow that shook the ship from stem to
stern, churned the waters violently md
sent pieces of steel flying through the
air. One huge piece struck the water
several hundred yards away, near the
shore and within only few feet of
where crowd had gathered to watch
the test.
Although sadly wounded the monitor
did not sink and was not vitality injured.
Further tests, 1t was said, would be
unnecessary, the usefulness of the spe-
cially designed watertight bulkhead
having been successfully demonstrated.
The torpedo was fired at the Flori-
da's watertight bulkhead compartment
from distance of 400 feet, from a float
specially prepared for the occasion, fit
ted with a bombproof to protect those
aboard from injury. To prevent defiec-
tion in the course of the torpedo and
to insure it's hitting the exact spot in
tended, it was run along a trolley wire
connecting the fioat and the monitor.
Two hundred and twenty pounds of
guncotton comprised the explosive
charge carried by the torpedo, which
was aimed to strike below the water
line armor belt of the ship. The COM
partment struck by the torpedo was
crammed with cellulose, the belief be-
ing that this would resist the inrush-
ing water and still not expand suffl-
ciently to burst the inside of the YES
sci.
Todays trial was the second for the
monitor within a very short time. The
srst trial was made two weeks ago.
len a shell was fired at the eleven
h arnor on the forward turret and
ers at the fighting mast. The mon
emerged from the first test prac-
lily uninjured.
ne experiment today was conducted
. ne presence of Secretaries Taft and
calf and Postmaster General
yer. besides a number of other Of
ais who sailed last night in the
sident's yacht Mayfower.

in an alleyway next to the Charlton

Afraid to go home in the dark, they
huddled together in the shadow of the
big school until long past their usual
bedtime. They were crying, not softly,
but just as Justify as they could, when
they were found by pedestrian.
Their fears were dissipated when Mrs.
Sagues held them in a close embrace
and showered kisses and tears upon
them.

school and had lots of fun playing"
said Lille. "But when the dark came

24-HOnr Endnrance Race Begins
 70night With 5frang And St7ickeY Drilling

ployed the past several days in overhaul the drivers will be seated and it is in perfect shape. Stricker declared last night that unless some unforeseen accident occurs he felt confident that he and Strang will establish a new record. Strang will arrive this morning from Savannah, and he has already declared himself con- fident of winning. The two men are anx- ious for the time of racing to come, for it is true that inured to the nerve-racking task as they are, they love it.
 Each driver will go four hours without halt. Each man will be accompanied by a mechanic. Anderson will ride with Strang and Jiemmez with Stricker. These skilled men are carried in order that damages may be repaired in the quickest time possible. Anderson states that he can change an entire set of tires in four minutes, and can replenish the supply of gasoline in three. The repairing of minor breaks can be accomplished in five. The drivers figure to lose two hours during the 24 on account of stops for changing tires and damages to the car, so it is to be seen that they will be compelled to cover 1200 miles in 22 hours of actual running,
 This speed about the course in the hours of the night thrills, and many spectators, it is probable, going to the grounds with

Birmingham tonight at o'clock, will witness the beginning of an automobile endurance race destined to break the now existing worlds record
 Lewis Strang, the great American champion, whose fame had it's beginning In Birmingham last season, and Emile Stricker. one of the most daring drivers from sunny France, are planning to wrest from Robertson and Lescault their rec ord for miles covered in A hours.
 In the accomplishing of this feat the two, with their lives in their hands, will endeavor to go around the circular mile track at the fair grounds 12Oo times in the allotted hours.
 The race begins at o'clock Through out the long hours of the stilly night the drivers will dash madly about the course When the east lightens the car will still be swizzing at breakneck speed, and the rising of the sun will cause no pause When the hour of noon comes the never halting race will be continuing, and the setting of the sun will witness the strife between man and Father Time.
 The present worlds record, that held by Robertson and Lescault, is TIT miles in 24 hours. Strang and Stricker will go 12O0 miles if their predictions are accu- rate The drivers consider the local course an excellent one. Weather conditions will be favorable. Mechanics have been em-

the intention of remaining a few hours will be seated in the grandstand when the sun peeps in the east.
 In the center of the arena a tent will be erected, provided with cooking uten- sls cots on which the drivers will rest after their relief, mechanical tools. r full sets of tires, and all other requisites. A surgeon will remain in the tent at all times.
 When a driver, after his four hours of mad driving, is lifted from the car to which his stiffened muscles have bound him, he is carried into the tent, given nourishment, undressed and put to bed. He will sleep four hours and then be ready to relieve his partner at the stipu- lated time
 The course will be lighted by the Arm strong Light company of Birmingham. The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company will put on an all-night car service. On the canvass stretched in front of the grandstand the score will be posted at the conclusion of every hour.
 The race will be under the auspices of the local automobile club, which club will furnish scorers and timers
 There is much local interest in the great event, and it is probable that thousands of people will, at one time or another, witness the endurance race, something new to the south.

Chicago, November 15.-(Specia1 )--Chief Wilkie of the United States secret ser- vice is expected to arrive in Chicago some time tomorrow to assist in the hunt for the counterfeiters who have circulated in Chicago more than $50,000 in counterfeit $5 silver certificates. That the counter feiter is an expert is shown by the ease with which he makes s5 counterfeit bills correspond with the genuine article. Only an expert would recognize the discrepan- cies in the bogus bill. The paper is al- most identical with that used by the treasury department and silk threads are run through it in such manner as to de- ceive the ordinary citizen.
