Union City, Tenn, December B.-That a strict censorship of the press will be established during the night-rider trials was indicated when court opened this morning. After cautioning the jury to confine their reading to novels and good books, Judge Jos. E. Jones said: Be fore we commence the taking of testi- mony, I want to make a request of the men who represent the newspapers here. As you know there are over 100 indict- ments yet to be tried. A juror who has heard from either a witness or from one who has heard from witness what purports to be an account of what hap pened, is incompetent as a juror. The supreme court has held that newspaper report of testimony comes within the for bidden field. Hence if the newspapers re- port this testimony at this trial, 1t will make 1t impossible to secure a jury in the cases to come and thus justice will be defeated.
 This is a very serious phase of the trial. The court will first make this re- quest in very polite and informal way, trusting that the good sense and patriot ism of those who own the papers will ltdu lItiii u COiIpig Nilu il+ VI tOuISGg if 1t be disregarded, then the court will be compelled very reluctantly, to take such steps as may be necessary and legal to protect the interest of the common wealth.
 Tt has been suggested that the rul- ing apply only to papers which circulate in this county and that papers at a dis tance be exempted. I do not believe this would be fair, hence no exemption will be made"
 This statement created a decided sen satlon. Quite a number of the Tennes- see daily papers have a staff of men here and these men quickly consulted, but reached no decision Most of them, how ever. are sending out the testimony in detail.
 The little court room was packed to suffocation, even the aisles being crowd ed, while an eager throng unable to ob- tain admission. stood all day upon the stairway leading to the court room and

filled the corridors. The crowd is made up almost entirely of townspeople, few if any of the Reelroot inhabitants ap- bearing on the scene to the evident de- light and relief of the court officials.
 The prisoners, unkempt seowling and silent, pay little attention to the proceed ings. Only once today did they betray any emotion One witness, who had been sworn into the band against his will, testified that the only part of the oath he remembered was that part that provided that they would kill him If he revealed anything. At this sardonic grin spread over the faces of more than one of the eight prisoners.
 Edward Powell, husband of the only woman witness yet to be called, was an important factor in the states behalf. Powell was dragged from his bed the night of the Rankin murder and forced to accompany the band to the Walnut Log hotel, from which Rankin and Taylor were taken. Powell recognized Frank Fehringer as the man who opened Rank in's valise. took out and read d letter. He recognized Garrett Johnson as the leader, and Boy Ransom as the man in the white mask, the only one so dis guised. Fehringer has confessed and will be used as a witness by the state.
 When the riders took Powell along he heard the riders questioning the two men as to their title to the land in the Reel fcot district. Near the spot where Rank in was murdered they halted Powell until the murder was done. They asked him if he recognized any of them and when he said no they told him to tell Ward the hotel proprietor, to come down for the bodies of his guests.
 Powell was arrested by the soldiers and testified before the coroner that he failed to recognize the riders, but did so because he feared for his life. He was present when the body of Rankin, wrapped in a sheet was carried from the spot upon which he was assassinated to the Walnut Log hotel and one of the men who helped carry the body was Tom Will son, who Powell recognized as one of the night riders who helped to murder Rank in the night before. Wilson has since died in the Nashville hospital. while under the indictment for the murder. He was one of the men named by Fehringer in his confession.

Washington, December 1S.-Senator Knox's first appearance as national figure was when he entered the cabinet of William Mckinley as Attorney Gen eral in 1901 to succeed John w. Griggs of New Jersey. He was continued in the same office by President Roosevelt and continued to serve until he resigned in 1904 to accept the appointment of United States senator from Pennsylvania
 Senator Knox while Attorney General established high record for his relent- less prosecution of so-cai1ed trusts. One of his important victories was the suit against the Northen Securities company, a corporation with an authorized capital of $400,000,O00. organized for the purpose of taking over the capital stock of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern rail- roads, two connecting lines, and in ef- feet merging them.

Rules were formulated for the gov ernment of the House. These rules were right and proper. Under them the House wrought wise and proper legislative measures on the statute book. There were wild howls from partially selfish newspapers and magazines because the 'Czar' did not remove 15 per cent ad valorem due on print paper and wood pulp. They said they wanted it removed because the cost of print paper and wood pulp has increased 50 per cent, but they could not show that the increase was due to the duty and the Speaker refused to allow the duty to be removed
 "They were ashamed" MT. Cannon said, turning to Vice President Sher- man who was a guest with him at the function. they were ashamed to explain that this was the real reason for their pounding during your campaign and mine. They forgot that the Speaker could be removed any day or hour. They forgot that nothing could be done without the will of the majority. They enlisted the great head of the American Federation of Labor, and the anti-saloon league, but the great republican party was victorious, and the government will go on He add ed that he was still Speaker of the House.

SOME NEW LIGHT ON THE
 ROOSEVELT INCIDENT

''The girl who seemed most resentful against MT. Roosevelt was Henrietta Greer, Texas girl, whose exact place of residence I do not recall. She talked rather wildly. l did not pay much at tention to her fighty remarks because it came out that she was a democrat and bore political grudge against the presi- dent. I remember that we laughed at her for being so heated over the affair and some of the girls jollied her for her party feeling.
 There were four or five of the girls in the party. They came up behind the Presidents cortege in the road near the seminary. As I recall the road, it was roomy enough for them to pass, and I think that in a burst of girlish spirits they spurred ahead and crowded by the riders who were in front of them
 They said the President did not take kindly to their escapade. They said he spoke to them making some such remark as You ought to know better than to ride by us,' or to ride by the President l do not recall the exact wording

CANNON CRITICISES HIS
 CRITICS IN SHARP WORDS

Philadelphia, December 1s.-Joseph G. Cannon, speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives, in an address at the annual banquet of the New Jersey society of Pennsylvania here tonight aroused his hearers by taking an unexpected fling at his critics and defending his policies and the manner in which the House was ruled at the fast session.
 Tear said MT. Cannon, "comes to the tmid man temporarily invested with power, who wants to retain that power and listen to the improper proposals from without and does not make g protest founded on higher resolves crossed with splendid courage and desire to do right.
 Away with that old story of one man power and Czarism. Franklin made protest against the veto power of the executive being made absolute and he was right.
 Tn the chapter of accidents I became Speaker of the House. When the minor ity undertook to control the majority, they were met with a refusal from the majority and the Speaker. The Speaker would have been like a cat in hell with out claws If he had not fought against such usurpation.

REQUEST FOR MORE MONEY
 FOR PANAMA CANAL WORK

Washington, December 1S.-A request for an urgent deficiency appropriation of $5. 45S,0O0 to carry on the work on the isthmian canal at the present rate dur ing the balance of the fiscal year, and for new projects, was received by the House today from the Secretary of War.

 The principal share of the desired appro- priation is for the Atlantic division, where are located the Gatun locks and dam, For this division an appropriation of sS,- 451 oOo is required.

For these purposes s2.5Ooooo is now asked.
 Of the total appropriation requested B. 45S 900 is for labor and $2,400,o0o for na- terialS.

Knox Will Accept.


 Washington, December 1S.-Senator Philander c. Knox of Pennsylvania, former Attorney General of the United States who is to be Secretary of State in President Taft's cabinet, tonight dis tive of the Associated Press
 "It is true, as MT Taft has an nounced" he said, that I have been cabinet as Secretary of State I have some time and have been persuaded by those with whom l have been con cerned ip and out of Pennsylvania that it is my clear duty to accept. I will leave the Senate with great regret as have enjoyed its duties and associa- tions, and with extreme reluctance will lay down the commission of the Pennsylvanians who have so splendidly supported me by their approval of my public service.'
 When ask ed whether he would rath- CT remain in the Senate than to accept the cabinet portfolio he replied that never having served as Secretary of State he could really make no compar- son.
 With me-" he added, public service is duty which I accept because not of any honor which l feel I may derive therefrom but because l feel that I owe it to my state and my country. have therefore, accepted philosoph ical- ly the offices which have come to me- being content to remain where I was serving as long as I was doing my duty as a citizen thereby"

 Confusion of Terms.
 The Hague, December 1S.-It is the opinion of the foreign office here that the rumor that Venezuela has declared war against the Netherlands arose through the confusion of the term ''state of defense," recently declared by acting President Gomez of Venezuela, with "state of war" According to Amsterdam agencies Minister of Foreign Affairs Van Swinderen has personal reason for be- lieving that news of entirely different character will speedily be received. all though he admits that 1t Is not impos- sible that affairs have taken new turn. General opinion inclines to the belief that President Castro's rule is drawing to an end.
 The Germany official attitude toward Castro Is greatly resented in The Hague. The newspapers ask how a friendly na- ton can thus receive Hollands aVowed enemy and whether Germany wishes to drive Holland into the welcoming em- braces of the Franco British entente.
