CAVALIER BILLED.
BESSIE ABOTT SINGS
Italian Prima Donna on
High Seas for Eu-
rope.
Advertising for Grand
Opera Misleading to
The Public.

Two celebrated prima donnas are
announced to sing the role OF Mimi in
La BOheme" with the Metropolitan
Opera Company at the National Thea
ter tonight They are Mime. Lima
Cavalieri, the noted Italian prina
donna, and Geraldine 'Farrar. the fas-
cinating American who has all Europe
and her own country at her feet
According to statements made to-day.
however, by members OF the company,
neither will sing the role, which will
be interpreted by Bessie Abott. She is
said to be the understuGy OF the COM
pany.
Nine Cavelieri is on the high seas
bound for her native land. Geraldine
Farrar is a guest with her mother at
the Shoreham hotel
For weeks Nine. CavaIieri has been
advertised to appear in Washington.
Yesterday afternoon she sailed for Eu-
rope. but II the managers OF the COM
pany in Washington were notified last
night that the singer would not appear
here no mention was made OF the fact
and those who had bought seats 10 hear
the celebrated singer have been in ignO-
rance OF the change.
Nine. Cavalier Advertised.
Outside the theater this afternoon Is
big billboard bearing Nine Cavalieri' :
name in the cast for tonight, although
members Of the executive staff OF both
company and theater have known since
this morning that the prima donna had
sailed away. incidentally the advertise
ments in this mornings and this after
Moons papers remain unchanged.
When paragraph IN a New York
morning newspaper announced that
Cavalier had left the country. inquiries
were made at the theater as TO who
would take her place. An announce
ment then was given out that Geraldine
Farrar would sing. that she had been
telegraphed for and would arrive in
Washington some time this afternoon.
Geraldine Farrar arrived in Washing
ton last night and has since been
guest at the Shoreham Hotel She had
heard nothing this morning as 70 hay
ing 20 sing in la BOheme'- tonight.
and had received no notice from the
management 10 that effect.
Miss Abott Will Sing.
Another member Of the company's
stan was communicated with. who said
that while announcement might have
been made that Miss Farrar was TO
sing. stiIl Bessie AbOtt would actually
I'LL the role.
So while Cavalieri is making for her
native shores, Geraldine Farrar is rest
ing in Washington in preparation for
her performance Saturday afternoon
and Bessie Abott is probably on a train
somewhere between New York and
Washington.
The National Theater management Is
not responsible for the arrangements as
the theater is rented for the engage
ment by outside parties. who are in
charge locally

Strength of the Speaker.

What has taken place demonstrated.
public men say To-Day. the wonderful
control which a few Tner exercise over
the House. The fight Of the President
and his Democratic allies against dom
ination by the Speakers policies and
associates, has in the main failed; and
out Of the confusion Of conflict emerges
the figure OF the Speaker as the real
arbiter Of legislative policy.
The political effects of this demonstrE-
tion are now getting consideration.
There is q great mass OF Republicans
in the House who feel that this out
come Is most unfortunate for their
party. They lock forward in vain 10 a
time IN future when these policies
which the President has strengthened
in tho public mind. may get attention
at the hands OF Congress The short
session next winter is not expected To
accomplish much. The President will
be out OF once before the rext long
session, and whoever may be President
there is small expectation that these
measures viii b pressed with the vigor
with which he urged them or with the
success he attained at the first long ses-
sion OF this Administration.

Martial Law Demanded.

The citizens of this city have finally
become so alarmed by the vi lent as

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 6.-Kentucky
passed into the hands of the Repub-
licans at IL o'clock this morning and
will, for the next four years, be UNI
der the control of the men elected on
the ticket with Governor Augustus f
Wilson last November. The formal
transfer of the various State offices
took place between 10 and IL o'clock,
the last man to be sworn in being At
torney General James Breatnitt. The
formal introduction of General Breath.
lit to the Judges of the Court of APP
peals was made by the retiring Attor-
ney General, N. B. Hays, immediate
ly upon the converting of the court
for the January term, General Hays
presenting the commission of his sue
cessor, which was accepted by the
court, and the oath was then admin
istered to General Breathitt by Ma
pier Adams, clerk of the court.
The administering of the oath of Of
flee to Mr.. Adams was the first act
looking to the change in administra-
tons. and following the swearing in
of Mr.. Adams by his predecessor, j.
Morgan Chinn, the new clerk admin
istered the oaths of office to Auditor
Frank p. James, Secretary of State
Ben L. Bruner, Assistant Secretary
Of State Jackson Morris, Superintend-
ent of Public instruction ]. G. Crabbe,
Treasurer Edwin Farley, Commission
er of Agriculture Merrill C. Rankin
and Attorney General James Breathitt.
Clerk Adams then administered the
oath of office to w. B. O'Connell as
chief clerk and c. S. Wilson as dep
uty clerk, and when this was oomplet-
ed the Republican Administration was
in full control of the State offices.
All of the new State officials have
not as yet selected their full office
force and as result several of the
Democrats will remain in the various
offices for two or three months to
break In the new clerks and until the
full forces have been completed.

for where Powers stood and for sew
eral minutes he was given an ovation,
scores of persons pressing around him
shaking his hand and congratulating
him upon the favorable outcome of
the case. During this remarkable de-
monstration the two Jurors, ]. l..
Price and j. w. Renaker, who had
stood for conviction, stepped in the op
posite of the prosecution and shook
hands with Arthur Goebel and States
Attorney Franklin.
When Judge Morris announced that
July had been fixed as the date for
a new trial of the case Powers attor-
neys protested against taking so much
time and Major Owens declared that
ten days would be a sufficient interim
to get ready for a new trial
Following the refusal of Judge Nor
ris contrary to all established prece-
dents, to grant Powers bail after every
man on the jury but one had express
ed their belief in his innocence, the
attorneys for Powers late Saturday af-
ternoon appealed the case to Governor
Wilson, in the hope that he would ex-
ercise the pardoning power and Ii
berate the noted prisoner and put an
end to the case.
Citizens of Georgetown, irrespective
of party, are preparing an address to
the people of Kentucky calling upon
them to petition Gov. Wilson to par
don Caleb Powers. This address will
be accompanied by petitions, which
will be sent into every county in Ken
lucky. The committee of George
town citizens at the head of the
movement is composed of four Dem
ocrats, two of whom are ex-Confed-
crates, and three Republicans. The
address and petitions are expected to
be ready for circulation soon.

DEMOCRATS USURP
rights OF LIEUT.. GOV.
Take From Him Authority To
=: Appoint the Committees of
The Senate:

Frankfort, KY, Jan. THE Demo-
cratic Steering Committee, which is
to make up the committee appoint
ments in the Senate, was named this
afternoon and the work of preparing
the list of committeeman was begun
at once by the Democratic members
of the Upper House. The committee
which will name the standing COM
mittees is composed of the following:
Conn Linn, of Murray, and Thomas
Combs, of Lexington, chairman ex-
officio, members by virtue of being
president pro tenn. of the Senate and
chairman of the State caucus; Sena-
tor H. S. McNutt of Louisville; Sena-
tor Watson, Senator ]. w. Newman.of
Versailles; Senator Jack CHM. of Mer-
Ger, and Senator Frank Rives, OF
Christian.
Under the rules which will be adopt
ed tomorrow, the committee instead
of the presiding officer of the Senate,
will select the committees, the power
being taken out of the hands of the
Republicans. The Democratic Senators
believe that the Republicans would do
the same thing if the conditions were
reversed and that they have nothing
to gain by allowing the Republicans to
have the naming of the committees.
OF course the choice places or Ill the
comittees will go to the Democrats,
and they will have almost complete
control in the Senate. The rules of the
last session provided that the president
of the Senate should name the commit
tees, and the new rules, which are
ready, will have to be adopted at once.
before the Republicans have a chance
to move to adopt the rules of last year
until the Comittee on Rules can make
its report. The new rules provide that
the Steering Committee shall make
the appointments.
1t probably will be several days be-
fore the list of committees is COM
pleted and before they are given out.

EVERITT EMPLOYS
EXTREME MEANS
To Gain Trust and Favor
With|A. S. of E.
Prefers Charge Of Criminal Libel
Against President Barnett
and Secretary Pauley.

Not content with continual attack
through the columns of his paper, Up
to-Date Farming, on everybody who
attended the National convention OF
the A. s. of E., in Indianapolis, in
October deposed President ]. A. Ever
lit Tuesday preferred the charge of
criminal libel against President C. NJ.
Barnett and Secretary o. d. Pauley,
who were attending the Board of Di-
rectors at Indianapolis. Information
of such charge is contained in the
following dispatch from Indiana
polls:
President c. M. Barnett and Secre-
tary o. d. Pauley, of the American
Society of Equity, were arrested yes
terday afternoon on charges of GRIM
inal libel preferred by ]. A. Everitt,
deposed President of the organization.
Ex-Gov. w. S. Taylor, of Kentucky,
assisted in furnishing bond for Bar
nett and Pauley in the sum of $500
each, and Taylor will act as Barnett's
attorney.
A warrant has been issued for the
arrest of Garrett M. Walrod, of Ten
nessee, member of the Executive Board,
now in ses, ion. Everett's action is
based OF allegations made against him
in a circular sent out soon after the
close of the stormy session of the So
ciety in this city in October, when he
was removed from the control of the
society's affairs and his contract as
publisher of the official organ repudi-
ated.
The circular was sent out from head
quarters in this city to the agricultural
press of the county and it's evident pur-
pose was to convey the news that
Everitt ad been permanently retired
and his paper, Up-to Date Farming,
disowned.
1t sets out several things uncompli-
tary to Everitt, but the ones to which
he takes exception in the affidavit
Tiled in the Criminal Court are con-
tanned in paragraphs that say the Post
office Department had had Everitt
under surveillance for twenty years
for attempts to use the mails to
defraud. and that he had been arrested
for that reason; that he was prac-
tically driven from the State of Penn
sylvania because of crookedness; that
he sold as Columbia seed wheat,
wheat he had bought as No. mixed.
Only the statute of Imitation saved
him on this charge, said the circular.
During the October convention the
allegations related were freely made,
and the purport OF the circular is that
the allegations were shown to be facts
