LIBEL SUITS
Are ADJUSTED
Woodward and DeWeeSe Con-
sent to Dismissal of Cases
Upon Messengers Publishing
Complete Retract ion and
Paying Cost.

The libel suits filed in the Ohio
Circult Court by Supt. James NJ. De-
Weese and County Attorney Il. NJ.
Woodward sometime III the early part
of 1906 against the Owensboro Messen-
ger for alleged libelous matter pub
lished by that paper concerning
Woodward and DeWeese growing out
of The suicide of Miss Prudie Ford
have been adjusted by the parties and
will go off the docket at the present
term of court.
The Woodward case was tried more
than a year ago and the jury award
ed MIN $4,000 damages. A motion was
made by the Messenger Co. for a
new trial, and after many months of
consideration Judge Birkhead awarded
the defendant a new trial.
Al the present term of Court the
Messenger Company made a motion
10 change the case 10 some other
county for trial but the adjustment
came before Judge Birkhead ruled on
he motion.
The basis of adjustment is the publ
ca,ion by lhe Messenger of a complete
and full retraction of the
libelous article complained of, and the
payment of all the Cost. The retrac-
ton which the Messenger agrees 70
and has published il as follows:
IN the mater of a reference in
this newspaper in It's issue of March
%, 1906, concerning Messrs, E. NJ.
Woodward and Jas. NJ. DeWeese, Hart
ford, concerning which suit has been
pending in the Ohio Circuit Court in
favor of each OF these gentlemen against
the Messenger, this paper, after a hear
ing of the whole matter was had upon
trial of the case in courT, is con-
WINGED that a mistake was made in the
apparent connection of Messrs. Wood
ward and DeWeese with The unfor-
tunate incidents leading up to the sui
eide of Miss Prudie Ford. We desire
now 10 state that anything in said
article or in any publication in tins pa
per which seemed 10 reflect in any
way upon The conduct of Messrs.
Woodward and DeWeese in that matter
was not authorized by the facts and
in truth they were wholly blameless
and treated the unfortunae girl with
perfect kindness.
In the hurry and great amount of
work incident TO getting out a daily
newspaper such mistakes sometimes
creep into i,s columns. When this
occurs il is always matter of regre.
and this paper is glad 10 make prop
er and timely correction

money be used for substituting lines
plying to South American ports.
AS a matter of fact, 1t is a case
of whipping the ship subsidy devil
around the stump, because the amount
for South American mails is a subsi-
dy pure and simple, even If 1t Is tuck
ed away in the postoffice appropria-
ton bin as compensation for carrying
the mails. The amendment which
prevailed was offered by Senator Gal
linger, of New Hampshire, one of the
most ardent champions of subsidy in
either House of Congress.
This small beginning was the re-
suit of compromise between the adj
vocates and the opponents of ship sub
sides. 1t was agreed this experiment
in a small way should be made. Ii
it proves all that has been claimed
for subsidized shipping, there will be
other appropriations. If it fails, the
subsidy advocates might as well go
bay the moon.

NO PROSPECT OF AN
EARLY DECISION
Governor Wilson Still Struggling
With Powers and Howard
Cases

Frankfort, KY, May 23.-No decis-
ion in the Powers and Howard cases
will be made by the Governor for sew
eral days or, perhaps, longer. Ii had
been thought by some persons that the
Governor would announce his decision
to-day, but the reason for this was
that the Governor had said, before he
went to Washington, that he would
decide the cases not later than May
%. The Governor concluded, howev-
err, just before he caught the Grain
for Louisville the afternoon he started
for Washington that II would nos do
to announce any maximum period for
any limit on the time which he would
allow himself. His change of plans
was not generally known and the or
iginal statement gave rise to the re-
port that the decision would be made
on May 20 or sooner.
The Governor to-day gave out an
official announcement in which he
said that no more applications for par
9ons or remissions would be considered
until after the Powers and Howard
cases have been settled. The Official
announcement is as follows:

that no applications for pardon, remis
sion or executive clemency in any

reason | am strongly in favor of the

JUDGE BIRKHEAD SIDE
Steps SAUNDERS CASE
Plaintiff Forced 10 Amend His
Petition Stating Who he
Bet With.

The case of b. F. Saunders the earst
wnile campaign orator of Hartford who
began suit last November 10 recover
money bet on the election and which
was later appealed 10 Circuit Court
has come into the lime light again.
This time it attracts attention by rea-
son of the fact that Judge Birkhead re-
fuses to preside in a trial of the case
and the further fact that Saunders
has been compelled by the courts ru-
ling to amend his petition stating
whom the money was wagered with.
1t will be remembered that L. L.
Birkhead was the stake holder and it
is against him that Saunders seeks TO
recover $50 wagered. The amended
petition discloses the fact that az
torney S. A. Anderson of Hartford
agent for Ed Taylor placed the money
($25.) against Saunders $50.
IL will now be necessary TO appoint
special judge 20 try the case un-
less the parties in interest can agree
upon someone to try il.
The petition as amended in part is
as follows.
After seoting out how an election
was held at which S. w. Hager and
Augustus Z. Wilson were contending
candidates for the office of Governor,
tie petition concludes as follows:
He states that, on che-day of
November, 1907, and proceeding said
election day, this plaintiff and S. A.
Anderson agent for Ed Taylor made
a bet or wager on the result of said
gubernaJorial election. Plaintiff says
that he bet put up and placed in the
hands of the defendant Birkhead, as
stakeholder the sum of $50 and that
against this sum, rhe said Anderson
agent for Taylor bet put up aud pla-
ced in the hands of the aforesaid de-
PENDANT, as stakeholder, the sum of
$25. He says that it was agreed at
the time of making the said bet, be-
tween this plaintiff and the said An
derson agent for Taylor and the said
defendant, as stakeholder, was so in
structed that if the said S. w. Hager
should be elected governor the
amount of the said sums OF money
to-wit $500, so placed in the hands
of the said defendant, should be turn
ed over or paid TO this plaintiff and
that If Augustus e. Wilson should
be elected governor. the sair $500
should be pain or turned over to the
said Anderson Agent for Taylor.
Pleading further, plaintiff says that
on the - day of November, 1907
and al numerous times thereafter while
the aforesaid sum of $50 remained in
! the hands>of the said defendant, al
stakeholder, he went to him and in
structed him not to turn over the sale
$50 to the said Anderson agent for Ia.
lor and then and there requested and
demanded of said defendant. to return
same to this. plaintiff, which the de-
PENDANT wrogfully and unlawfully fail
ed and refused and still refuses to do.
