Louisville, Ky, May 6,-Scenes inde-
scribable took place at the Republican
State convention to-day. when Chairman
William D. Cochran, of Mayheld, an
nOunced that Caleb Powers and James
Howard had been pardoned by Gov.
Augustus Z. Wilson for the murder of
William Goebel.
The great Phoenix Hill Park. crowded
by Loo delegates and many others. WAS
rent with a storm Of wild cheering heard
for squares away, and the frenzy of de-
light of negroes and whites alike lasted
for a full five minutes one man cried,
Bring Powers here. Make him a hero,
Then came a money shower, the stage
being literally covered with donations
thrown from all about 20 pay the ex-
penses Of a special train TO bring Powers
10 Louisville TO the convention. SO much
in earnest were the delegates that a
couple Of hundred dollars was thus coll
lected and then the bubble burst
It was discovered that the report was
a hoax, and while Gov. Wilson is con-
sidering the papers in the application for
pardons for Powers and Howard. he has
not yet come 10 conclusion.
Conspiracy Alleged.
It IS openly charged that the announce
ment was made in an effort to stampede
the convention by those who had selfish
motives. and it was instigaTed and franz
ed up by enemies of Representative d. c.
Edwards, of the Eleventh district, who
desires that Powers he pardoned in time
10 run for Congress and that it also had
the backing Of the Fairbanks forces on
the outside
The convention adjourned after form
ing an organization and hearing the Pow
ers pardon fake, but resumed its ses-
siOns tonight with quite a number Of
speakers to be heard. Until the commit
tee on credentials makes its report no
final organization can be made and il
is TO report on these contests that the
committee has started in its work, which
will last all night. 1t being proposed TO
give twenty minutes to each county
where a contest is made, and the same
time TO a consideration of the primary
contests in each ward IN Louisville where
a contest is made. The convention Will
be in session practically all of tomorrow
as well.
Want Powers PardOned.
That the sentiment Of the Republican
party in Kentucky is strong for par
don OF Powers, Howard, and Taylor and
Finley as well, the latter two now being
exiles from the State. was shown by the
action of the delegates to-day.
Strong men broke down and wept when
they heard the tidings Of the supposed
act Of executive clemency, and many
would not believe but that the report
was true.
Never before was such a spontaneous
outburst Of feeling in a convention in
Kentucky
Il has been practically decided by the
committee on resolutions TO bring I'm a
report indOrsing the national and State
government. and giving ironclad instruc-
tons for Taft. An adjournment was ia
ken at $3.50 O'Clock this evening until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
The probable selections for delegates
at-large to the national convention are
Gov. Wilson, Judge A. R. Burnham, OF
Richmond; W Marshall Bullitt, Of
Louisville. and G. w. Johnson, colored.
Of Lexington
It is now the tip that Senator-elect
Bradley viii not be included in the list
Of delegates-at-large.

SWARTHMORE DROPS SPORT.
AbOlishes Football to stop
Alterations of ProfessiOnaIfsm.

Philadelphia, June 9.-The faculty OF
Swarthmore College has announced that
its decision aboUshing football at the
institution is final. In announcing this
decision. the faculty also set forth its
reasons for the action. AS was thought
by the student body and the public, tho
Jeanes bequest had little. If anything.
10 do with the adjustment OF intercone-
giate athletics. The faculty set forth
as its reasons that the football schedule
was too long and interfered materially
with the academic duties Of the students.
The student body is about evenly d.
vided in commenting on the decision, but
those favoring the continuance OF foot
bali have held so many mass meetings
and have been so insistent in their pro-
tests, which have been backed by hun
dreds OF alumni. that in announcing as
irrevocable it's decision, the faculty also
made a concession. This was that bas-
ket-ball weuld be played.
Ii is thought that the adjustment OF
the most important sports at Swarth-
more will not be lasting. but after year
or more Swarthmore will again see
football team in the field. The reason
for this belief is the announcement that
tho Jeanes bequest had nothing 10 DO
with its abolition. and that the. faculty
is taking this means Of hushing the
cry OF professionalism.

ALL LOOKING FOR WILLIAMS.
Seven Friends and the Police
Anxious TO Find Him.


A summer at Atlantic City is much
more desirable than a summer in Wash
ington. and because Of this fact seven
negroes were poorer by $3.50 each last
night than they had been yesterday morn
ing.
AT different intervals yesterday these
men, seven Of them, were approached by
friend. who, they say. is Beverly Will
ianis, colored. thlrty-elght years old. Ac-
cording 10 those who asked help OF the
police. Williams said the air was much
better at Atlantic City during the summer
than in Washington. and because he had
such a warm place in his heart for them
he would get them position at the sum
mer metropolis, where th@y might earn
their bread and enjoy themselves at one
and the same time.
Before obtaining the 'jobs," Williams.
they say. needed $3.50 from each of his
friends. and got It, He made appoint
ments with each of the seven. they al
lege to meet him at the home Of Mary
Posey, colored, 1871 L street northwest
At the appointed hour the men turned
UP al the meeting place Each expressed
surprise that the others chanced to be
there. Mary felt honored at such an as
semblage of callers, and inquired the rea-
son therefor. After a few minutes con-
versation. it became known. through
Mary. that she had forwarded $3.50 10
Williams 20 pay the rent OF a house with
the whereabouts OF which she was un-
familiar
Williams could not be located by his
fri ads or the police.

Before adjournlng for the summer

Commissioners celebrate the day when
they move into their new marble palace
which stands for those sacred principles
for which our forefathers fought. bled
and died. and which principles have been
annihilated I'm this District Of Columbia. &"
Practically no attention was paid to the
idea OF celebrating the event In fact.
some OF the members were inclined 10
treat the matter lightly, one Of them sug-
gesting to turn over to the District COM
missioners the sum Of 10 cents, the bal
ance left In the hands OF the treasurer.
Not even 70 cents from PetWorth will the
committee receive TO add 10 the celebra-
tion fund. Mr.. Oyster said as long as
there was need for public school build
lngs and other educational facilities. and
as long as the Eastern Branch was a
breeding place OF diseases. there was no
need for marble municipal buildings or
million-dollar bridges
A resolution was passed favoring the es-
tablishment Of a kindergarten in connec-
tion with the public school at Petworth.
