Look TO South to Name Taft.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Secretary Taft
will be nominated for the presidency on
the first ballot in the Republican Ma
tional Convention at Chicago next June,
if the delegates from the southern
states stand together and support him.
At least this is the way the political
analysts among the members of Con-
gress who have remained in Washing
ton during the holiday recess have fig
ured it out. A number of them got to-
gether in one of the committee rooms
at the Capitol and held mock conven-
ton. One of their number called the
roll, and as each state was reached, the
political conditions in it were discussed.
and the vote credited as the consensus
of opinion directed.
The total result was favorable to the
secretary of war, provided the admins
tration could bring into line the forces
that have been so well organized by
Frank H. Hitchcock, assistant post
master general. 1t was the belief that
by standing together and voting one
way, the southern delegates might
nominate Mr.. Taft.

Railroad Business Picking Up.

Business on the Norfolk G. Western
is fast picking up. The eastern ship
ments are almost normal. The daily
average for the last week has been be-
tween $50 and 700 cars. This for the
same amount of time is more than the
company shipped east many a week in
the best of times. The number of emp
ties that are being shipped from sea-
board is increasing, which would show
that there will be a continuance of the
eastern shipments. This is really good
news for Bluefield and the coal field.
There are reports coming in from every
section of the country that business is
resuming and thousands of men are be-
ing put back to work. The opening of
the markets in the larger cities on the
10th of the present month will without
a doubt result in the placing of large or
ders with the result that labor will find
work and plenty of it. AS soon as the
manufacturers genarally commence to
work at full blast there will be
demand for shipments which will give
work TO the railroad men. .-Bluefeld

Big Stone Gap, Va, Jan. The In
terstate Finance and Trust Company,
which on December 18th went into vol
untary liquidation, will resume business
before February 1st.
This comes as a result Of the negotia-
tons of General R. A. Ayers, its presi-
dent, who has succeeded in enlistine
fifty thousand dollars of new money
which will be paid into the companv's
treasury as soon as a transfer of the
bank can be made by A. L. Whit.
trustee, to those con posing the new or
ganization, which will be done, it is un-
derstood, at the direction of Wise coun-
ty circuit court, before January 18th.
1t is stated that General Ayers has
personally made a great sacrifice that
his bank might resume business. He
voluntarily agreed to pay all attorneys
fees IN connection with its liquidation.
stating that none of its depositors
should be at one cents cost in obtaining
his funds.
The bank is capitalized at fifty thou
sand dollars, and has some ten thousand
dollars in surplus and undivided profits.
With the fifty thousand dollars paid
in by the new organization, the bank
will have one hundred and ten thousand
dollars with which to conduct its busi-
ness, making it the strongest bank be-
tween Bristol and Bluefeld.
Hon. r. T. Irvine, of this place. and
Morrison Brothers, of this place, Gate
City, Va, and johnson City, Tenn,
head the reorganization.
All the old officers of the institution
will retire.
The new organization cannot be au-
thoritively stated, but it is probable
that r. T. Irvine will be made presi-
dent; W. I. Goodloe, vice-president, and
R. P. Barron, cashier.

w. 7. Goodloe, C. S. Carter, ]. S.
Hamblen, H. L. Moore, w. w. Taylor.
j. w. Kelly and w. S. Beverley will
constitute the board of directors.
These gentlemen are the most prom
inent men of this section and represen-
tative of all classes of industries.
The new organization will have the
complete confidence of the people and
its ultimate success seems assured.
With the reopening of this institution
and the resumption of work at practi
cally every mining operation which sus-
pended work during the stringency, the
situation here is brighter and more
hopeful than it has been at any time
since last summer.

Meyer to jury, unless there was con-
siderable additional connecting testi-
mony to that which has been shown in
the two cases that have been tried, and,
for that reason, the case will be dismiss
ed, and an order entered generating
the bail of the defendant "
At the request of the state, the case
against DR.. Magee and C. w. Alter,
charged with prejury by reason of the
testimony given by them in the Hay
wood case, were also dismissed.
Although the Pettibone jurors agreed
that their deliberations should be kept
secret, it has been learned that on the
first ballot the vote was 8 to for ac-
quittal. The second ballot resulted in a
vote of 8 to 3 for acquittal The third
stood 10 to 2, and SO the jury
remained all through last night. The
two holding out for a conviction were
finall won over.
Pettibone and Meyer tonight received
many kilograms of congratulation,
chiefly from Colorado friends. Petit
bone, although almost sick, walked to
the Boise headquarters of the Western
Federation of Miners this afternoon.

American churchs. More uaItsd.

London, Jan. 4.-"The churches of
America are far more united in Chris
tian progress than any other country in
the world" said the Bishop of London
in q recent sermon, land while was
over there Imade up my mind to try to
unite England churches on all the points
that we possibly can.
81 do not believe in Sunday closing as
the authorities of New York have tried
to enforce it recently, although do be-
feve that in regard to Sunday we have
one of the greatest points on which
Christians can be united. l look on the
observance of Sunday as one of the
finest pieces of Christian evidence we
have.
In Sunday we have what / might
call the workers charter, and as a clev-
er man observed to me few days ago,
Sunday is Gods eight hour law.
81 do not belong to those who Ike the
breaking up of conventional religion,
and conventional religion is nothing but
hipocracy. People that go to church
merely for the sake of appearance had
better stay at home, and ! would far
rather have five men in church because
they wanted to be there, than five hun
dred who are there because they are
driven in.
The first use of Sunday is worship,
! and the man who sleeps till one O'Clock
Fis not keeping Sunday any better than
TIE one who goes in for worldly pleas
ures. Sunday is day for home life,
and reasonable recreation in the best
sense, but it should not be made day
of torture to people by depriving them
of enjoying themselves during the only
day on which their work permits them
to do so"

Bartram was a candidate for re-elec-
tion and the election was held Thursday.
While the returns were coming in at
the city hall dispute arose over certain
methods employed during the days vot-
ing and Bartram and Kinser came to
blows. In the alteration Kinser drew
a revolver and fired the fatal shot.

Atlanta, Ga, January THE sec
ond section of what is known as the
Collver Special, running from Cleve-
land, Ohio, to st. Augustine, Fla, was
wrecked this afternoon between Dallas
and Hiram, Ca, on the Southern Rail-
road, on trestle twenty-five feet high
over the nearly dry bed of what is
known as Copper Mine Creek. Five of
the seven cars went into the mud, and
as result a score or more passengers,
most of them residents of Ohio, were
injured.
The only seriously hurt are Engineer
Edwards, who was caught beneath the
cab of his engine when it overturned
after clearing the trestle, and Road

man will probably die. Snapp will re-
cover.
The injuries to the passengers consist
chiefly Of broken limbs and bruises.
The Collver special is an annual ex-
cursion run from Cleveland, Ohio, to
Florida points and Cuba, and under the
direction of General Passenger Agent
Collver, of the Big Four system. 1t
started from Cleveland yesterday at
1925 p. m. in two sections. The first,
consisting of four Pullmans and din
ing car, and the second of five Pull
mans, diner and baggage car.
On board the train were some two
hundred excursionists. That they es-
capped without fatal injury is considered
remarkable. E. E. Norris, of Atlanta,
superintendent of the Atlanta division
of the Southern Railway, was on the
second section, and was caught in the
wreckage and suffered fractured col
lar bone.
1t was nearly midnight when the
southern Railways relief train reached
Atlanta, bearing the body Of Engineer
James Edwards and about fifty of the
injured, among whom was Mrs. Emil
Hoover, of Columbus, Ohio, who is in a
dying condition, and Florence A. Stude-
baker, of Cleveland, internally injured.
and probably fatally hurt. Road Fore
man OF Engines Snapp and the negro
fireman, Nose Baldwin, both fatally in
jured, were also on the relief train.

JURY AC0UiIS PETTIBONE.
Celebrated Trial at Boise Ends-Moyer
Dismissed by the Court.

Boise, Ida, Jan. Am end of the
prosecution of the men charged with
the murder of former Governor Frank
Steunenberg, except the cases of Harry
Orchard and Jack Simpkins, came today
with the acquittal of George l. Petit
bone and the discharge of Charles h.
Meyer, president of the Western Fed
Grafton Of Miners, both charged with
conspiring with William D. Haywood to
murder Steunenberg. Meyer will re-
turn with Pettibone in a few days to
Denver. Haywood was acquitted last
summer and Meyer will not be tried.
Only two men on the Pettibone jury
voted persistently for conviction and
they finally ceded the verdict to the
other ten jurors.
The case of Orchard, confessed assas-
sin of Steunenberg. and chief witness
against Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone,
is in the hands of Prosecuting Attorney
Vandyun. of Canyon county, Ida. No
statement as to the-future procedure in
that case has been made, but it will be
called during the next term of court at
Caldwell, when it will probably be final
ly disposed of. Simpkins is still fugi-
tive.
After fourteen hours deliberations a
verdict of not guilty was reached today
by the jury trying George A. Pettibone.
The verdict was brought into court at
Ills this morning. No demonstration
of any kind marked the reporting of the
verdict which made Pettibone a free
man after two years awaiting trial.
All night the balloting of the jury
stood ten for acquittal and two for con-
viction. There was no change until the
final ballot was reached, both of the
men who had been holding out, giving
way at the same time.
The defendant, Pettibone, pale and
maeiated because of his long illness,
merely smiled as he heard of his free
dom, and moment lats- he was sur
rounded by his attorneys and friends.
His wife, who has been by his side at
every session of the court during the
trial, wept with joy.
When the Meyer case was called by
Judge Wood this aftarnoon, James H.
Hawley, representing Prosecuting At
torney Van Duyn, signified the desire of
the state TO have an order Of dismissal
entered.
81 am satisfied" said Judge Wood,
THAT the course taken by the district
attorney is the proper course. have

as the connecting and corroborating
evidence under the statute was concern

Georgetown, KY, Jan. 4.-After be-
ing out more than forty-eight hours,
the jury in the case of Caleb Powers,
tried on charge of completely in the
murder of William Goebel, today re-
ported for the second time that they
were unable to agree upon a verdict,
and were discharged by Judge Morris.
This was the fourth trial of Powers.
In two of the former trials Powers was
convicted and sentenced to life impris-
onment, and in the third trial he was
also convicted and given a death SEN
tence.
The jury stood ten for acquittal and
two for conviction. Foreman J. L.
Price and ]. w. Renaker, juror from
Harrison county, held out for conviction.
Powers was showered with congratu-
tions. He said:
Il am pleased"
There came near being an acquittal
today. Mr.. Renaker made proposition
to Mr.. Price to vote for acquittal. Price
held out, although sick man. Renaker
thereupon said he would vote with
Price. C.. ]. Marshall first voted for
conviction, but soon changed. The ju-
rors were greatly wrought up.
After the verdict was read in court
two of the jurors shook Powers by the
hand and actually cried.
udge Morris overruled the motion
for bail. He fixed July 6 as the date
for the next trial.
In their appeal for bail, Powers at
torneys pleaded i'll health of the pris-
oner.
Few criminal trials have attracted
more attention than has the case of
Caleb Powers, who eight years age was
just entering on his term as secretary
Of the state, when William Goebel,
Democratic contestant in the guberna-
torial contest, then pending before the
Kentucky legislature, was shot and
killed at Frankfort, the shot having ap-
1parently been fired from a window of
the executive office. Powers was ar
rested and for nearly eight years has
been in various jails in this state, part
of the time as a state prisoner and part
of the time as federal prisoner. Pow
ers was charged with being an ances-
sorry before the fact, and the open win
dow In his Office has played large part
In the various prosecutions. For more
than four years he has not been brought
to trial, his case having gone through
various stages in the state and federal
courts, reaching the supreme court of
the United States, which, however, re-
manded it to the state courts and the
present trial followed that order. This
fourth trial has continued for seven
weeks. The case was given to them at
9:O5 on Thursday. Judge Morris then
making his final charge, and they were
kept together until las this morning.
At the end of the first twenty-four
hours they declared that they were un-
able to agree, but the court insisted on
further time being taken. Today an
agreement seemed to be impossible, and
they were discharged.
