RumOr Says Action VIII BE Taken
This Week. Maybe
To-day.

Frankfort. Ky. May S.-That Gov Will
son has made up his mind to pardon
Caleb Powers and Jim Howard was
learned tonight from one high up in au-
thority here, and from the same person
It was learned that the pardons would
be granted this week. probably to-mor-
row.
Gov. Wilson will leave here Saturday
for Washington, 10 attend a conference
Of the governors. and he feels that the
cases must be disposed Of before he takes
his departure out Of the State The State
Republican convention meets at Louis
vile on Wednesday, and 1t is predicted
that Powers will make his first speech
on regaining his freedom at this conven-
tIon
There are rumors that personal vio-
lence will be done both Powers and How
ard If pardoned. but the majority OF the
people at the capital here regard these
rumors as only town talk. Gov. Will
son has been studying the records of
the trials in both cases day and night

Mayor Says There Must Be No

Declares Even Paris MutueI system

Fight.

Louisville. KY, May 3.-Louisville's s
race meet was endangered to-day, when
Mayor James F. Grinstead issued an
ultlmatum that sufficient police would be
at Churchill Downs next Tuesday, Derby
Day, to maintain order and to see that
the statutes against gambling were strict
ly enforced.
The mayor says that the Paris mutuel
machines will not be allowed to operate,
nor viii any form of bookmaking, pool.
selling, or gambling be permitted.
Charles F. Granger. president of the
new Louisville Jockey Club, said tonight
that the meet would be carried out as
scheduled. and that provision would be
made for the betting end. It is consid-
cred probable that the Jockey Club will
sue for a temporary restraining order.
and that the matter then will be carried
to the Court Of Appeals following any
attempt Of the police to prohibit betting
by the Paris mutuel system.
Hundreds of horsemen and turf follow
ers are here already and there, is the
greatest anxiety over the threat to end

sure the victory Of United States Senator

Nearly complete returns have been re-
eeived from 300 voting precincts out of
the 1900 in the State. On these reports
he has a majority of $1,000
These 500 precincts are located in the
more thiekly settled sections, and repre-
sent approximately one-half Of the vote
cast yesterday.
Next TO his own success, the most
gratifying feature of the result to Mr..
Bailey and his friends is that practically

Is any serious doubt as to the complexion

his friends At least thIrty-four Of them
will be OF that complexion. Even the
