PETTIHONE JURY RETIRES,
 BUT NO VERDICT AS YET

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 3.-The jury in the case of George A. Pettibone, charged with conspiracy in the mur- der of former Governor Frank Steunen- berg, began it's deliberations at $50 o'clock tonight.
 The last day of the trial was occu- pied by the argument of James flaw ley for the prosecution and the in- structions of the court. The defense carried out it's announced resolution not to argue the case, thus preventing Senator Borah from addressing the jury. Hawley fairly dared the attor- neys for Pettibone to speak in behalf of the defendant Tout they sat dumb when he concluded.
 The court room was cleared before the fury retired but the attorneys. the defendant and few of his friends. waited for time of the hope of hear ing a verdict tonight. No session of court was held this afternoon on ac- count of the illness of Juror Stahl but he recovered sufficiently for the trial to proceed tonight. Pettibone was sick during the day but he insisted that the trial be concluded. He was carried to the court room tonight.

TO LOWER RATES
THE GEORGIA RAILROAD COMMIs-
 SION TO ACT.
This Order VIII Come As The Result of The Conference of Cover nOrs Recently Held In
 Atlanta.

Atlanta. Ga, Jan. 3-The Constitu- tion tomorrow will say:
 An order establishing a flat rate of two and one-half cents per mile for passenger travel on the railroads in Georgia. elective April 1. will be is- sued in short time by the State Rail road Commission.
 This order will come as the result of the conference of governors held in Atlanta several weeks ago, when Governor Glenn of North Carolina and Governor Conner of Alabama met with Governor smith to discuss transporta ton problems. IL was known that the flat rate was discussed but no decision was given out Since the conference negotiations have been in progress in practically all the Southern States. The railroads. 1t Is understood are very anxious to reach an agreement which will give the same scale of rates in all the states and there has been con certed effort on their part to bring about such compromise.
 In Georgia, the flat rate will mean an increase on several of the lines over the present rates, which now range from two cents a mile charged by the Atlanta and West Point and Western of Atlantic to two and half cents for the Southern, and three cents for some of the smaller roads.

 J.NH Moseley. Russellville.
 Captain W. R. Bruce, the chief of police, as soon as he heard the noises hastened to the fire tower, where he att tempted to sound the alarm. but was overpowered by four of the masked night riders.
 Two merchants, J. R. Mclean, pro- prietor of a grocery store, and J. Henry Moseley, proprietor of a dry goods store, did not hurry into their homes as fast as the night riders desired and were shot.
 The most seriously injured is pr. Charles M. Roberts, a guest at the Forst house, who was wounded about the head and face by . charge of buck shot. Dr. Roberts was shot as the night riders were leaving town. He heard the general confusion, and think ing that the raiders had departed, ran out to see what had happened. He came face to face with a group of the departing mob and as he started to run was shot
 It was said that the mob came to Russellville from the direction of Cave Springs, near where the members are mob seemed to be well organized with a head and lieutenants. All the men were mounted and wore white eapes. false boards and masks. Except for the shots at those who appeared on the streets. there was little shooting. the chief business of the mob seemed to be the destruction of the two tobacco houses.
 This is the third raid which has been made by night riders in Western Ken lucky and comes in the face of the an nouncement by the Governor that dis order must cease. At this time a court is in progress at Hopiinsville investi- gatinE a similar raid which was made on that city several weeks ago. Troops are now on guard in Hopkinsville.

GOV. WILSON'S STATEMENT
Mob Rule Must Stop, Says Chiel
 Executive.
The Ku rxIux Klsn Must Ne Longer stain the Fair Name of xen- lucky, If wiIIson Has
 His Way.

Frankfort. Ky, Jan. Ex-Governor wilson. in statement issued today on the Russeliville outrages of last night, planes the tobacco association for breaking it's promise to keep order and offers reward of $500 for the convic- ton of any man through advance tn- formation of an intended raid or out rage He says the informant will be protected and the secret guarded.
 In his statement, Governor Wilson says:
 .The Russellville raid was clearly a violation of the promises made by the managers of the association in that part of the State. and was made to hin- der the prosecution at Hopkinsvtlle by intimidating the officials-and witnesses, hut the only result will be to add new criminals and to make 1t harder for the tobacco growers in that region over to get diving prices for their tobacco; i; to further disgrace the State; infiict further immense destruction of values of farms and all property in that dis trict. to destroy the tobacco market there; to oppress and drive the people end to take away their liberties; TO shake their faith In the protection or the laws and to force capital and val uabie immigration to shun Kentucky and all this without the least nope or chance to help the men who formed these conspiracies.
 To Imprison COwards.
 'It means the penitentiary for in- famous men who formed this conspir- acy and for many of their dupes, for though their associations number thousands, the law-abiding. law-lov- ing people number hundreds of thous- ands and there can be no possible hope that the Ku K1ux can govern Kentucky and a possible escape from punish ulent. when, as it surely must come to mass in a short time, the full extent Of the crime and hurt Is understood, and the conscience, duty and faith Of the people resume control and restore the full and irresistible power of the pee. ple,s law. Meantime every power or the law will be invoked to instantly supprsss disorder; to discover and im- prison the towards who secretly con splred to intimidate the people Into pbeying Alnob rule.
 whether night riders or day riders, are strrniv taking into their own hands. tbe rule of our people by mob law, and the generals who figure as lead- CTS. will figure as chief criminals, ana ali alike will be found out and pun Ished. The State Government will not relent. Mob rule cannot stay in ken tucky even though it strikes coward ike in the dark, and runs and hides. prasantly the forces of the State will catch. the night riders and the day rfd- ers in tha act, and the consequences will fall upon the heads of the men whose plots have brought those things to oaSa"
