Attorney Franklin sat with staring eyes,
while Arthur Goebel looked as If he was
about to faint. Powers sat looking
straight in front of him, until the jury
was dismissed and his ovation began.
Juror Jouett said: Il voted for Goebel
and have his picture in my home, but l
could not vote for Powers conviction on
the evidence brought against him.
Cost of the Trial
The trial has been in progress for eight
weeks. and forty-eight days have been
used up. The jury was in elaboration
two days and two nights. Some idea of
the expense may be secured when 1t is
stated that it cost approximately $1,000
a day. The third trial. four years ago,
which lasted about forty days, cost about
SO 00O and al this fourth trial. to which
and which lasted longer. it is estimated
that it has easily cost $4,000 more Pow
ers says each trial has cost him 10000.
Tonight c. J. Doyle of Chicago, sent as a
special representative of former Gov.
Yates of Illinois. said: The result of this
trial is remarkable as the various pro-

REVIVAL OF THEIR EARLY LOVE;
REMARRIAGE OF MR.. AND MRS.
JOSEPH P. CALDWELL.
Romance Begun in Newspaper Office
Has Interruption, But Cupid
Finally Overcomes Obstacles. i

A romance which had its origin in thsr
"city room" Of a southern newspaper Gull
minated yesterday in the marriage in the
parlOr of the Metropolitan Hotel. this city
OF Mrs. Adelaide Williams Caldwell to her
divorced husband. Joseph p. Caldwell,
editor and part owner of the Charlottel
IN. CO Observer, and one of the most
prominently connected men of the state.
The marriage was performed by the Rev
Donald c. Mcleod. pastor OF the Firsts
Presbyterian Church. John Marshall place
and street. Adding to the interest of
the occasion the couples six-year-oldI
daughter, Adelaide p. Caldwell, was "a
witness to the remarrage.
Fifteen years ago Mrs. Caldwell who
was at that time Miss Adelaide Williams.
became interested in newspaper work and
determined to make her livelihood by that
means. She obtained a position with the
Charlotte Observer, and went through
the various grades of reportorial work
under her husbands guidance, gradually
becoming SO proficient as to justify her
promotion to the city editorship of the
paper. The association which naturally
fell to the lot Of the city editor and the
editor. who was widower. ripened into
friendship and gradually into love, and,
despite the objections from family sources,
they were married in September, 1900
They lived together for three years when
Mrs. Caldwell obtained divorce In
Sioux Falls, S. D. The particulars Of the
essential to this story.
Continues in Chosen Profession.
Following the divorce Mrs Caldwell con-
tinued In her newspaper work, but with
other publications. until comparatively
recent period, when she devoted herself to
private writing, and for several months
past has been engaged in this work In
New York city. With the growth of their
child, however, the former differences
were gradually forgotten, and IT Is said
that both husband and wife decided to
begin over again, and finally arrange
ments were made for remarriage. and
Mrs. Caldwell came to this city Friday
night in response to a telegram from Mr.
Caldwell, sent from Charlotte, to meet him
here.
Both arrived in Washington between s
and o'clock Friday night, and efforts
were made at that time to procure n
license In order that the ceremony might
be performed Immediately. but owing to
the lateness of the hour the effort was
fruitless. With the aid of the hotel as
sistants, however, the necessary arrange
ments were made early yesterday and the
wedding took place shortly afterward. Mr..
and Mrs. Caldwell are spending a portion
but will probably leave for New York
Monday morning to remain several days
before returning to their home in Char
lotte.
Speaking of her marriage yesterday to a
Star reporter Mrs. Caldwell said:
I'VE are married and supremacy happy
1t was the best for our child, and though
it was not done Intentionally. we were
married upon her sixth birthday. We will
take a short trip north before Mr.. Cald-
we'll returns to Charlotte to take up his
work again."

Municipal Ownership.

When asked about the ideas he would
advocate the bishop said: Partisan pol
itics is the curse of municipal elections.
The dominance Of the republican party in
Detroit and Michigan is as bad as the po-
litical dominance of democracy in the
south. The only place for parties in city
affairs is in neutrality-suspicious.
as that may sound.
"In settling municipal problem imme-
diate results may not be looked for. Prom
ises to do what the candidate knows he
can't speedily accomplish are worse than
nothing at all. 1t takes patience to gain
any public good. and there must be hon
est, able and aggressive leadership to win
over the obstacles that are sure to be
thrown in the way by opposing private
capital.
.'I believe in municipal ownership; it is
conducting for the people and by the
people what is essentially their own"

CROWDS ATTEND LAKE
MOTOR BOAT RACES

Good racing, fine weather and
large assemblage of spectators served
to make the annual motorboat regatta
of the Palm Beach Power Boat asso-
citation last week one of the most sue
cessful yet promoted by that organiza-
tion. Interest in the races drew large
crowds of motorboat enthusiasts to
the shores of Lake Worth, where the
events were conducted.
The first days racing plainly indi-
Gated that a good class of boats were
on hand, and the spectators were
pleased with the events contested.
There were four races, the winners
being the Dolphin (two racers), General
and Irene The Dixie started in two
races, but the water was too shallow
for her to attain any speed. On the
second day the feature was matched
race over a flve-mile course between
the Dixie and the General, the former
winning by a good margin. BY far the
most interesting event of the week
was the trial for the Dewar challenge
shield, which was won by the Dixie.
AS she was also the winner last year.
her owner T.. J. Schroeder, becomes
permanent owner of the emblem. The
Dixies time was 2 m. IS 3-5 c., which
is at the rate OF 29.728 miles an hour,
a record for the Lake Worth course.

TOURISTS BUTT OF JOKES
FROM MANY SOURCES
Travellers in Air or on Land Have
Amusing Experiences with Those
Stopped to Answer
Questions

Tourists, whether in the air or on
land. tell all sorts of funny questions
asked them by people along the route
and of funny replies.
The observation comes from ques-
ton put to Monte Roberts, when stuck
I'm a snowbank, less than twenty-four
hours from New York, while en- route
to Paris. The farmer asked. In all
seriousness: what day do you think
you will reach PARISH" AS the indica-
lions seemed good that the car would
be driven across America in path
which would have to be shoveled, Rob-
erts could not say, and so said moth
ing. but did heap of heavy thinking.
Major Hearsey, in the international
balloon race, dropped down at an ex-
penditure of gas to just above farm
house to ask where he was. up IN
the air, you gol darn fool" shouted
the farmer, and the balloon passed on
it's way with mad bunch throwing
ballast of sand at the wise farmer.
The Great Arrow, on it's pathfinding
trip last year, met many wise men. in
cludjng one who wanted TO know where
all the steam was stored to run the
pesky thing, and another, who wisely
sent the car along to Boston, or tried
to do so, when asked the way to Buff
falo. The farmer was taken on board
for a ride and carried many miles in
the right way, being forced. to walk
back.

SAVANNAH MOST POPULAR
FOR VANDERBILT AUTO RACE

1t seems to be Savannah for the Van
derbilt race, with little chance for 9TH
ers in the running. That the Wander
bilt race will be run is now certain, and
Savannah owing to Its great race of
March 10, and the perfect conduct of
the race, together with the active sup
port of Governor Hoke Smith, seems to
have the right to demand the race.
Mayor Tideman of Savannah and Pres
ident Battey of the Savannah Automo-
bile club, together with the many other
prominent men who worked In unison
to make the last race a success, nave
already started work and the new 20
mile course has been laid out.
The Vanderbilt race commission Will
meet shortly and determine the matter
and the date will undoubtedly be set Tor
October next Savannah will at once
secure accurate data of Its possible ac-
commodations, including private
houses, and will publish this matter to
the world.
The city believes it possible to handle
with ease 10000 people, and countless
others will go south in private cars and
in special steamboats, and reside in
these while at the race. 1t will be pos
sible to place the cars right along the
course and to anchor the boats at the
Isle of Hope, where the course may be
seen from the decks.
Active bidding for the great race is
being done, but Savannah has the call,
for Savannah has experimented sue
cessfully and conducted the greatest
race the world ever saw

YALE COACH PICKS ALL
AMERICA BASKET STARS

NEW YORK, April 5.-Billy Lush,
the former outfielder of the Cleveland
club and the coach of the Yale basket
ball team that tied for second place
with Columbia in the intercollegiate
series, has selected the first and sec
ond All-American collegiate basketball
teams. This is regarded as virtually
official, as Lush is one Of the best au-
thorities on the game in the country.
He names Keinath of Pennsylvania
as the greatest player in the inter-
collegiate ranks and the most remark
able floor player in the history of the
league. He gives Keinath one forward
position, while the other goes to Capt.
Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania. Yale, on
its good all around showing, gets two
men on the team-Van Week, at CEN
ter and Capt. Noyes, at guard. The
other guard position goes to sturdy
Kimble of Columbia.
Cornell gets one place on the second
team. while the other four are divided
between Pennsylvania, Yale and
Columbia. Crosby is the Cornell man
chosen and he is little behind Keinath
and Fitzpatrick. Kiendel, a great point
scorer and Columbia's handspring on
offense, is the other second team for
ward, with Ryan, of the same team,
center. and Murphy of Yale, and Nc
Crudden of Pennsylvania, the two
guards. Keinath of Pennsylvania is
officially declared the winner of the
point championship with a clean lead
over all rivals.
