night that Gov Wilson has made up
his mind to pardon Caleb Powers and
Jim Howard probably tomorrow. It
is declared that the governor has
found nothing in the records of the
trials of the noted prisoners to hold
them.
1t was learned this afternoon that he
called Commonwealth Attorney Robert
Franklin to his apartments yesterday

extending late into the night. Those
who talked with the man who has
prosecuted Powers and Howard for
the last eight years say that he was
not satisfied with its result.
Gov. Wilson promised Arthur Goe-

William Goebel, that he would confer
with Commonwealth Attorney Frank.

the meaning of the testimony There
is a sensational rumor current that an
effort will be made to do both Powers

Judge Who is Trying the Case
Decision Reserved On
Important Point.

New York, May 4,--F'or mere tan
three hours tonight, Judge Hou9h, Of
the United States district court,
the question of the right cf President
Roosevelt to summarily dismiss three
companies of negro soldiers for al
legged participation in the Brownsville
riot.
The argument was on the demurrer
to a portion of the answer to the
government in the ac ion commenced
by Private Oscar w. Reid, to recover
$122, which sum represented his
wages as a soldier from the date of
dismissal without honor and the date
of the expiration of his enlistment.
United States District Attorney
Sumson entered a general denial and
for additional defense. alleged the
right of the president to dismiss the
soldiers of these companies and also
referred to reports of various army
inspectors, recommending such action
making the reports a portion of the
case. 1t was to this portion of the
governments answer that Chase Me-
Ion, counsel for Reid, demurred.
Mellon contended that enlisted men
were protected by constitutional
rights which the president had no
power to ignore, even as commander
in-chief the enlistment ofera ing
really from a legal viewpoint as a
civil contract between the solder and
the government. The real power of
removal the attorney contended, was
vested in congress, the president, as
commander-in-chief, possessing In
times OF peace only the application of
the congressional act.
Stimson characterized the legal
propositions. of Mellon as most start
ling, and insisted that power had
been vested in the nations chief
executive to dismiss commissioned
officers since the government began,
and he could not see how the enlisted
man should therefore be surrounded
by such constitutional safeguards that
even the commander-in-chief could
not get by them if he deemed it
proper for the beterment and moral
welfare of the service.
Judge Hough reserved the de'is'on.
but told MeIlcn plainly that 1t would
require considerable legal proof to
convince him that the relations of en-
listed soldiers and the government
amounted simply to a civil contract.

of considerable uneasiness to the
British government at the present
moment. The difficulties with the

Plot of Internal Machines.
All frontier kilograms are carefully
censored at Simla. From Calcutta
comes the news of the discovery OF
a plot to murder Europeans by means
of bofmbs. The conspiracy appears
to be of an extensive character and
many arrests have been made. A
number of discriminating documents
have been seized, together with a
supply of bombs and other explosives.
The discovery of the plot was made
through the arrest and confession of
the author of the bomb outrage at
Mocufferpur the capital of the pro
vince of the same name in Bengal in
which two Europeans were killed.
The morning newspapers referring
to the Indian news, generally concur
that there is no cause for alarm or
for grave anxiety, if as is hoped, the
Ameer is not directly responsible for
the attitude of the Afghan tribes, but
they point out that until the Ameer's
attitude is definitely known it be
hooves the government to be alert
and prepared for eventualities.
