Were Men Accused of Night Rid
ing SIS Jury Made Quick
Work of Cases.

IIopkinsville, Ky, June 5.--In the
Christian Circuit Cour. this afternoon
two men charged witch being night ri
ders We're released as quickly as the
jury could write the verdicts and two
osher men were placed under arrest
as members of the outlaw band.
In the George Powell case, numerous
witnesses We're introduced this morn
ing TO establish am alibi substantial
ing his statement that he was not
in the raid ON Hopkinsville, but was
at home ON the night of the outrage
and did not hear of it until next
morning. The case was argued by ].
T. HanberTy and c. II. Bush for the
defense and by Commonwealth's Attor-
ney Smith and County Attorney Duffy
for the prosecution. The jury was
out of the room only few moments
and returned with a verdict of not

CRENSHAW ACQUITTED. 81
The case of the Commonwealth
against Herman Richard Crenshaw, a
well-known young farmer of Roaring
Springs, Trigg county, was sfmmed-
lately entered into. After establish
ing the fact of the raid by local cit
liens, w. d. Hawkins, on whose besti-
mony Crenshaw had been indicted, was
placed ON the stand. He told of be-
ing held up by gang of night riders
on the night of the raid, and said that
one of them was Crenshaw. He did
not know the defendant personally, bu
had seen him in town on two occast6ns
shortly prior to the raid. Cnenshaw,
he said, at the time he recognized him
during the raid, had some sort of cloth
fastened around his neck, but it had
slipped down, plainly revealing his
features.
On cross-examination, he said to
The jury, II will swear that Crenshaw.
to the best of my knowledge and be-
lief. was the man." That was the
strongest he would make the ids n
dification. Commonwealth Attorney
Smith stated to The court that The
evidence given by Hawkins was The
same on which he had advised for
mer grand jury not to indict, because
he saw no chance of conviction, and
that the jury had not indicted, and he
was willing on that statement to sub
NIT the case as T. stood to the jury.
The defense agreed, and the jury as
once found verdict of not guilty.

"Here | Stand"

In the House OF Representatives
John. Sharp. Williams. the Democrat
ic leader, issued challenge to Mr..
Payne, the Republican leader. Shak-
ing his forefinger at Mr.. Payne, Mr.
Williams said: Here I stand, to
challenge you that every dollar that
goes into a campaign fund shall be
published to the world the day after
1t is received so that the world may
know the motive of the giver and
may judge the means of corruption
in the hands of the recipient"
Referring to this incident, Henry
Watterson, writing in the Louisville
Courier-Journal, says: "The silence
that followed could be heard three
thousand miles. 1t could be heard
from Buzzard's Bay to Crater Lake
from the Dome of the Capitol on
the Potomac to the Lick Observatory
in Santa Clara Valleyz-as Mr. Payne,
tired of leading the majority, sank
helpless into the abyss of confession,
daring not to accept the challenge.
That single passage tells che whole
story. Never mind the past" said
Mr.. Williams, 'tthe Presidential rape
of 1876; the crisp new two-dollar
bills and blocks of five, of 1880; Bel
shazzar's feast in 1884; The whole
ale bribery and spoliation of 1896
and 1900 and 1904, when widows and
orphans were plundered 10 make a
Mckinley and Roosevelt holiday
Never mind the denials and the
proof of guilt! Never mind the
the lying and hypocrisy
that have been. Let bygones be by
cones! What do you say TO the fu-
ture? What will you do?" And poor
Payne could utter never a word.
Nor, in all thai. house full of Repub-
licans was there one voice brave
enough, one heart honest enough, 90
shout back in defiance-to call Mr..
Williams hand-"We will pass the
publicity bill here and now!" Shame
upon the Republican party; shame
upon its leaders; shame shame,
shamal"

IN PRESSING NEED.

y few weeks ago The Herald an
nounced that some sort of phrase or
expression was badly needed by the
Republican campaign managers to oak
the place of the delusive full dinner
pail cry of four years ago. AS If in
verification of this statement, the
Republican Congressional Committee
of Washington offers a purse of $3.50
for the best article not exceeding l.
00O words, on the subject: Why the
Republican Party Should be Success
full Next November" In outlining
the plan, the Committee says com
petition is open to ALL" and then
adds:
In judging the merits of
contributions, consideration
will be given not only to style
of arguments and facts pre-
scented, but to the convincing
power, and it should be borne
in mind that Members of Con-
gress are to be elected as
well as President and Vice
President. No manuscripts will
be returned but will be the
property of the Committee.
The best article will be widely
used both in the newspapers
of the country and in pamph-
let form.
We can readily appreciate the dire
need of the Republican campaign man
ayers for some by-word or slogan to
deceive the people and help the cause
of the former, but we can hardly con-
ceive of any answer or reason why
the Republican party should be
next November. We

CAN HAVE
RETURN BATTLE
JOHNSON is READY TO MEET
WHITE MAN AGAIN
Negro Says He Can Whip Vanquished
Adversary Any Day in the Week.
Latter Is Terribly
Punished

SYDNEY, N. S. w, Dec. 26.-Jack
Johnson is ready TO give Tommy Burns
a return fight, but it is likely the white
man will have to wait some time.
Burns did not seem particularly anx-
ious today for another battle with the
negro. He said Johnson is too big for
him.
Burns Is a sorry sight. His eyes are
almost closed, his face is puffed up to
almost twice its normal size, while his
body bears evidence of heavy punish
ment inflicted upon it by the negro.
Johnson showed practically no signs
of battle, but admitted he was decid-
edly sore about the stomach.
Tommy Burns got to me often" he
said, with a Vince at the remembrance,
but he did not hurt me at the time.
1t was when the muscles around the
stomach got sore this morning that
felt the effect of his punches. I can
lick him any day in the week. but
must say he is a game enough fellow"
Johnson has received several chal-
lenges by cable, as well as that hurled
at him by Bill Squires.
A belated message from Bob Fitz-
simmons got to him today when he
was talking with several newspaper
men, but he simply proffered it to
them with a smile and remarked
"Bob's getting bit too old to go after
the title"
1t is believed that Promoter McIn-
tosh made fully $4,000 on the bout.

MAGNETIC POPULAR
AS IGNITION SOURCE
ECONOMY is ITS STRONGEST
RECOMMENDATION
Manufacturers Are Experimenting
with Single Spark, Which
May Supersede
Others

There are evidences this season of an
increasing tendency to adopt the mag
neto as a source of ignition current.
On a great mahy of the small four
cylinder cars, selling at a low price,
some sort of magnetic will be offered
as a standard equipment. Most of the
larger cars fit a magnetic as matter of
course, though many of them will have
some other system either partly or
wholly independent of the mechanical
generator. For single cylinder and OPP
nosed engines, however, the vibrator
coil is still the favorite.
1t would seem that the general con-
sensus of opinion among designers is
that where the ignition work is inter-
mittent, as on a single cylinder or OPP
posed motor, the current cost is not
great enough to render a magnetic eco
nomical; but that where four or six
cylinders are employed the magnetic
gives enough less trouble to warrant its
extra cost. This less cost is much less
than formerly, for not only is the price
OF magnetos generally lower, but some
of the more recent types greatly sim
plify the wiring and so reduce the cost
of assembling the car.
The coil and battery are, however, by
no means dead" even for multi-cylin-
der work. While the vibrator coil is
used in many instances for a secondary
equipment, the tendency may De SAID
to be rather away from the vibrator
and toward the single spark system.
Quite a number of manufacturers OF
IGNITION equipment are known to be ex-
rerimenting with the single spark sys-
tenn. and It is very possible that they
may evolve something which will prove
a strong competitor of the magnetic on
both cheap and high priced four and
six-cylinder cars.
The initial cost and dihiculty OF at
taching have SO far prevented the gen
eral adoption of single spark general
ors, though their marked economy In
current consumption has gained fol
them considerable recognition.
