HE IS EVASIVE.

New York, Jan. I5.-The Knicker
booker Trust Company, wishing to be
rehabilitated from its recent failure
has offered the presidency of the com
pany to Secretary Corte1you Gossip
on Wall Street is TO the effect that he
will accept. When Cortelyou was
interviewed in Washington in regard
to the rtmor, his answer was very
evasive, and he would give out no de-
finite information. Following the ru-
mors of this offer comes the ru4nor
that Postmaster General Meyer will
succeed Cortelyou in the treasury de-
partment, but this is unconfirmed
It is said in Washington that Sec
rotary OF War Taft is soon TO re
sign his scat m the cabinet to engage
actively in the campaign for the re-
publican nomination, and that Cover
nor Magoor1, of Cuba, is the presi-
dents favorite TO succeed him. Flu

CULPR|T RETURNS
TWO NEGRO MURDERERs
HANDED OVER TO AUTH
ORITIES LAST NIGHT.

Frank Edwards, who killed his wife
near the Metealfe place in 1906, was
caught in Fulton, KY, Tuesday and
in the custody OF a Fulton officer
and brought to this city Wednesday
night and lodged in the county Jail
Edwards case is one of the strang-
est that has come up in this commu-
nifty for "a long while as he had never
been heard from since the killing and
in fact he had never been indicted by
the grand jury. His conscience
troubled him and after lodging the
officers for so long he finally went
TO the Fulton officers and told them
his story saying that he had travel
ed very extensively and always when
he got on train there were always
detectives right behind him. But
for this hallucination it is probable
that Edwards would have never been
caught.
Edwards has very strong case
against him and his chances for &C
quittal are very slim.
Hezikiah King, OF Hollandale. who
was arrested for the killing of an
other negro, OF. at least that is tne
charge against him, was brought
to the city Wednesday night and plac-
ed in the county Jail King however
according TO his employer, has
strong array of witnesses IN his de
Tense. and it is believed that he wi!
be let ont on bond today.

PRESIDENT STATES HE is
FOR TAFT FOR NOMINATION

Washington, Jan. I5.-President
Roosevelt will not let up on the ad-
vocacy OF Secretary Taft for his sitc-
cessor. notwithstanding the Foraker
fight in the senate on post office ap-
pointments. Four new names or Taft
supporters will at once be sent TO the
serate to replace those turned down.
Taft admirers believe that every time
Foraker succeeds in turning down an
appointment he makes new enemy.
His only point scored was that four
rejected by senate were formerly For
aker adhefents and were turned to
Taft on promise of a position under
the administration.

 HORRORS OF WAR


 NcT York, A.ril So.--eapt. Richmond F. Hobson contributes an article in the forthcoming Cosmopolitan for June, glv- ing an imaginative description of a pos sible war between Japan and the United States. Captain Hobson gives diagrams of probable naval engagements, showing the advantage the Japanese would have with their new Dreadnaughts "Satsuman and "Oki." After lengthy details of va rious military and naval movements, the article says:
 'It is time patriotic Americans were considering the possibility of war for our very existence. They should realize that everything would hinge on the con- trol of the sea in the Pacific. We must take no chances of having the permanent control of the sea in this ocean. If our fleet were on the Pacific coast at the outbreak of war it should remain on that coast, moving out no further than Ha- waii, and allow the Japanese to occupy the Philippine Islands for the time. Ex- cept for cruises by our armored cruisers we should stand fast and build as big navy as our present fleet, and in the meantime should undertake no offensive of the Hawaiian islands and establish a great naval base there. Of course, Japan would proceed ot build new ships also, but we could ask nothing better than a race in building ships We should so move that the Japanese fleet could get a general action only by crossing the ocean,
