He was the Ismal of the South-w est. His hand was against every man and every mans hand against him. As he lived he died, with none to mourn his loss and no one to envy him his fame; the day of the outlaw is passed, and forever.

GOVERNOR GUILD
Is INAUGURATED
HE SAYS IN HIS INAUGURAL AD-
DRESS EXISTING LAW is MADE
oUATE TO DEAL WITH PUBLIC
CONTROL OF RAILROADS,

Boston. January 2.-Curtis Guild, Jr.,
was inaugurated today for third term
as governor of Massachusetts. The two
houses were assembled in joint convention
and upon the administering of the oath
to Governor Guild and Lieutenant Gov
ernor Draper the former proceeded to
read his inaugural address
Governor Guild said in part:
The need of today is peace, and peace
with honor-peace between nations, comfy
between states, good temper as we'll as
honesty between individuals. We must
enforce, we have enforced, the law,
whether those who encroach upon its pro-
visions are corporations or indvid lals.
We must control, we have controlled
great public service corporations. The
alienation of such control is not indi~
vidualism, but socialism. If, however,
there is a year when it is particularly
desirable to avoid sensational onslaughts
on property SCATTERING public confidence,
curtailing commerce, checking invest
ment, reducing alike the earnings of
capital and temperament of labor, it is
this year, 1908.
THE most serious question to be de-
termined in this session is the settlement
of the transportation problem of Massa-
chusetts. 1t should be taken up in a
broad spirit, free from prejudice. Especi-
ally should legislative action that is
merely destructive be avoided. No policy
which has not been thoroughly and care
fully followed to its conclusions should be
adopted. 1t Is not an exaggerated charge,
but a simple statement of fact to say
that no steam railroad operated In Massa-
chusetts is giving the service that it
should give the public. Delay in the ship
ment of freight and a general tardiness of
all trains has marked the service OF
all of our railroads.
Existing law is inadequate to deal with
public control of railroads. The Massa-
chusetts railroad commission, the pioneer
in state control of public service corpor-
ations, should be clothed with ampler
powers -

HARDEN
TOO ILL TO APPEAR
Celebrated Trial Interrupted for
Short Time
PROSECUTOR IS WRATHY
Allegation Is Made That Harden Is
Shamming illness, But This Only
Brings Reproof From the
Trial Judge.
PROSECUTOR IS WRATHY

Berlin, January 2-The closing scene of
the Harden Won Moltke libel suit was
not enacted today, as had been expected,
because Maxmilien Harden, the defen-
dant, was again too i'll to make his ap-
pearance in court. Professor Eisenberg
reported that Harden had high fever,
had spent a sleepless night and was con-
sequently incapable of making his final
speech in his own defense. The court
then dispatched its official physician to
Hardens house to verify, these state
ments and this doctor upon his return,
confirmed the fact that Harden was I'M
able to leave his bed
DR.. Isenbiel, the prosecutor, then asked
the court to repair to IIardeh's house
and conclude the proceedings in his bed
room. He recalled with considerable heat
Hardens reproach at the first trial that
Prince Phillip Zu Eulenburg was sham
ming illness The court reprimanded this
suggestion.
The prosecutor then made series of
declarations on behalf of Prince Zu Eulen-
berg. He said the Prince challenged any
body to produce the slightest testimony
that he was guilty of the abominable
offenses charged against him. The Prince,
he continued, had caused proceedings to
be instituted in the local court of Lieben-
berg, his home, covering these charges.
He had asked Harden to produce his
proof, but Harden had declined to tes-
tifI The president of the court inter-
rupted DR.. Isenbiel to remind him that
further proceedings in the absence of
the defendant were injudicious, and court
was adjourned until tomorrow.
The Tageblatt affirms that Emperor
William has decided to restore Count
Kuno Won Moltke to active service and
give him a high position in his imme-
date encourage. Won Moltke, who was
formerly military commandant of Ber-
lin, resigned from the army when the
Harden accusations were brought against
him. The newspaper says also that the
announcement to this effect would be
made soon after the verdict in the pres
ent case is given 1t is assumed that the
| finding of the court would be victory for
Won Moltke.

TROUBLE BREWING
FOR HONDURAS
General Lee Christmas Is Said
To Be Active
AMERICANS ARE WARNED
In View of Peace Terms Made In
Washington the United States Gov
eminent Will Try To Pre-
vent a Revolution.

Mobile, January 2-What is believed to
be an incipient or pending revolution is
reported from Puerto Cortez, Honduras,
via this city by special correspondence.
Captain Maxwell of the United States
gunboat Marietta, was scheduled to sail
on December &C. He was notified by the
government of Honduras on Christmas
Day, however that an expedition was or
ganizing in Guatemala and Belize, destin-
alton unknown. 1t was claimed that Gen.
Lee Christmas, the American, was re-
cruiting Americans on the Guatemalan
frontier, and that two sailing vessels
had been obtained.
The commandment at Puerto Cortez re-
garded the information as authentic and
believed that the peace conference at
Washington would end about Christmas
Day. and feared that the Americans in
that country might be induced to join the
the morning after Christmas for Living
ston, Guatemala, and anchored at
o'clock in the evening at that port He
was requested to notify the American
charge d affaires in Guatemala and the
government of Guatemala officially in or
der to fix the responsibility. Investiga-
ton was started to ascertain IL General
Christmas had a commission from the
government and to warn all Americans
to remain out of the undertaking and
against taking part in any expedition
against friendly power as their vessels,
If encountered upon the high seas, would
be treated as pirates
On the morning of December q the gov
eminent of Guatemala notified Captain
Maxwell that it had Concentrated Gen.
eral Christmas and the other chiefs of
the former Manuel Bonilla government at
the capitol, where they were under OBJ
servation, and also that guards had been
placed along the frontier to prevent any
movement, and that the commandant had
strict orders to send to the capital any
chiefs that may enter the coast district.
The Marietta Returned to Puerto Cortez
on the evening of December 81, and from
last accounts General Bonlla remains
quiet at Belize, and it is stated the Be-
lie authorities will not permit any ex-
petition to organize there.

AGREEMENT NOT CERTAIN

Henry Youtsey.
AGREEMENT NOT CERTAIN

Georgetown Ky, January 1.-The jury
in the trial of Caleb Powers, former sec
rotary OF state, charged with completely
in the murder of Senator William Goebel
[ the time the latter was contesting the
gubernatorial vote began the consider
a ton of the case this morning Argu-
ments were closed late yesterday after
noon and the jury retired, but the Jurors
decided to postpone consideration of u
possible verdict until today.
Before the jury retired to the jury
room Judge Morris especially charged the
jurors to maintain the utmost secrecy.
Powers, accompanied by his venerable
mother and sister and attorneys was
in court early. Arthur Goebel, brother
of the murdered man, and his nephew,
William Gocbel. sat near States Attorney
Franklin.
Up to noon no verdict had been reached
In the Powers case Promptly at y
O'Clock Judge Morris called the jury from
the jury room and sent them to dinner
under guard of two deputy sheriffs. The
jury reported at 100 and resumed their
deliberations. After being out three hours
without arriving at a verdict the convic-
ton is growing that the jury may not
be able to agree upon a verdict.
When the jury ceased it's deliberations
at 5:30 this afternoon, so that the men,
bers mi!St dine, it was with the under
standing that at 7:30 O'Clock counsel shall
argue before Judge Morris the advisa-
bility of acceding to the jury's request for
transcript of the testimony of Henry
E. Youtsey, former auditors clerk, nov
serving a life sentence for completely
in the Goebel assassination. Among other
things about which the jury has asked
the court to refresh their memory is
from which door of the executive build
ing Youtsey made his exit after the shot
was fired and from which window of the
secretary of states office the shot was
fired.
This is taken by the public as an ndi-
cation that the jury is seriously consider
ing that phase of the case insisted upon
by the defense that Youtsey himself fired
the fatal shot and that Jim Howard had
nothing to do with 1t.
At $40 p. M, by agreement of counsel,
Judge Morris read to the jury from the
direct and cross-eXamination of Henry f.
Youtsey those paragraphs in answer to
the two written questions propounded
to the court by the jury.
The jury retired for the night at $50
o'clock The case will not be further
considered until tomorrow

viii Take Of Special.

Washington, January 2-(Special. 1T is
rumored that the Southern Railway COM
pany is contemplating emitting the palm
Beach Special from its schedule this
winter on account of lack of volume ex-
pected in tourist traffic. November reports
were made to headquarters in this city
by officials of the road throughout the
south, looking to the reduction of the
through and local train service over the
entire line. A number of changes were
then announced. AS none of the general
officers of the company was in Washing

rumor regarding the omission of the
palm Beach Special" No orders to that
effect. however, have yet been issued.

But All Motions Are Over
ruled BY Chairman.
FORAKER MEN IN MINORITY

Columbus. o., January 1.-The repub-
licans of Ohio will be given an opportun-
ity to express by direct vote their choice
for the partys candidate for President,
at primaries to be held on February Il,
when delegates and alternates to the re-
publican state convention will be elected
The convention will be held In Columbus
on March 3 and 4, and will select, in
addition to four delegates at large to
the republican national convention, can
didates for governor and other state
Offices
The call for the primaries and conven-
tion was adopted finally this evening by
the republican state central committee
after a protracted and lively discussion.
The friends of William H Taft, Secre-
tary of War, and candidate for the re-
publican nomination for President, were
in control of the committee, casting IA
votes to I for the supporters of Senator
Foraker, also an avowed candidate for
the presidency. The vote stood IA to Z
on every proposition which required a
roll call, except the selection of a tenn
porary chairman for the state convention
James r. Garfield, Secretary of the In
terror, the choice of the Taft supporters,
received 10 votes to cast for Harry M
Dougherty of Columbus. Richard Nc
Cloud of London, a close personal friend
of Mr.. Dougherty, but a Taft supporter
voted for him as against Mr.. Garfield.
The state committee decided that it had
nothing to do with the selection of ma
tional delegates in the congressional dis
tricts and declined to make any sug-
geston in regard thereto.
The committee met early in the after
noon and after a short session appointed
a subcommittee to draft call for the
primaries and convention. This commit
tee called upon Governor Harris during
the recess, to consult his wishes in re-
gard to the call. A committee repre-
senting the supporters of Senator Foraker
him to permit his name to be presented
for chairman of the state convention,
but the governor declined.
The call reported by the subcommittee
and adopted by the general committee by
a vote of IA to Z, is one of the most elab-
crate ever issued by a state committee
Several amendments to the call were
proposed by the friends of Senator For
aker, but in each case they were voted
down. The chief fight was made against
the direct primary plan for the selection
of delegates to the state convention. They
proposed that delegates to county con-
ventions be chosen by direct vote, the
county conventions to choose the dele
gates to the state, convention.

THAW TRIAL WILL
BEGIN ON MONDAY
INSANITY AT THE TIME OF THE
SHOOTING WILL BE THE ONLY
PLEA MADE BY THE DEFENSE
THIS TIME.

New York, January 2.-Counsel for
Harry X. Thaw consulted today and It
was reported that it had been definitely
agreed that the defense to be introduced
would be insanity at the time that Stan
ford White was killed. 1t will be con-
tended, however, that Thaw is now sane.
Those in conference were Martin w. Lit
Teton, Daniel ORellly and a. Russell
Peabody.
The defense, it is said, will offer much
new testimony. There will be a score of
eye witnesses to the shooting of White
who have not testified before and all
will testify that in their opinion Thaw
was crazed on the night of the murder.
Mr.. Littleton has a list of 800 persons
who have been summoned to appear Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, in the
criminal branch of the supreme court,
and detectives are Investigating the
record of each.
Mr.. o'Reilly and Mr.. Peabody called at
the Tombs today and consulted their
client.
There are signs that the second trial
will attract much less attention than did
the first. The applications from out of
town newspaper representatives and press
bureaus for seating accommodations arc
noticeably fewer. The Geographic ar
rangements for the transmission of the
reports of the trial will be greatly cur
tailed Unless new witnesses open a
new line of inquiry, the testimony, it is
expected, will be largely a repetition of
the testimony in the first trial.
District Attorney Jerome, who will
again be the chief prosecutor. with As
sistant District Attorney Garvan as his
aid, said tonight that the trial would
surely begin before Justice Bowling next
Monday morning.
