POWERS JURY
DISAGREE
FURTHER FROM A VERDICT

AND DISCHARGE WILL PROBA.
BLY, END FAMOUS CASE

GEORGETOWN, KY, Jan. g.
The jury in the Powers case report
ed to the court this morning, when
the foreman announced I'VE are
further from verdict now than
ever.'' Judge Morris sent the jury
back for further deliberation.
The jury this afternoon appears
to be settled down until the court
is moved to discharge it.
The last chapter of one of the
most tragic events in the history of
Kentucky was reached today on
completing the fourth trial of for
mer Secretary of State Caleb Pow
ers, indicted eight years ago as an
accessory before the fact, for, the
murder of William Goebel, the DEM
ocratic contestant for the office OF
governor.
II has been one of the most stub
bornly-contested criminal cases In
the history of American jurispru-
dence. The present trial covered
more than seven weeks, there being
i46 days of actual court proceedings.
The first trial resulted in a con-
yiction with sentence to life i'm
prisDnment. The judgment was re-
versed. The second trial had the
same result, the judgment being set
aside because of alleged partiality
of the trial judge. The third trial
resulted in verdict of guilty, with
the death penalty. The case was
taken from the state court and the
accused became federal prisoner
later being returned to the state
courts for trial, which has just beer
concluded.

PLAN new STATE.
FOR NEGROES
TO BUILD UP NEW COMMON
WEALTH WITH COL0RED PE0-
PIE WHO WILL FILL ALL OF
F1CEs AND CONDUCT BUSINESS

To found the forty-seventh state
of the union, and at the same time
to solve the much debated negro
question is the task to which the
Rev. Benjamin w. Swain. pastor of
the Belmont-Street African Metho-
dist Episcopal Zion church of Wor-
cester, Mass, has set himself to ac-
complish before the convening of
the sixty-first congress, according to
a letter received from him by Lew
iston acquaintance yesterday.
Mr.. SWANS plan has one feature
which recommends tit is brand
new. He plans to secure from the
United States permission to start a
new state, for negroes alone, by
slicing off a portion of Illinois and
portion of Indiana. There he
would gather all of his brethren in
the country, there he would estab-
lish a state government, with gov
ernor, council and general assemly
composed of members of his race,
and there he would build cities peo-
pied and stores conducted by ne
groes and negroes alone.
Mr.. Swain is not planning only,
for already he has had three rallies
in his own city, where there live
nearly 5000 members of his race.
He has secured the assistance of two
other ministers of his color, the Rev
William B. Perry of the Baptist de-
nomination, and the Rev. Johnson
B. Jones, also Methodist, and the
negro state proposition is being
preached from the pulpit and ar
gued enthusiastically on the street
Together, the three divines have
now issued circulars, which have
been sent to all parts of the United
States, calling upon their brothel
ministers and the colored citizens, t.
join in the grand movement. Then
says Mr.. Swain, they will pass ou
the copies of the petition which II
to move congress. This will b'
signed by every negro In the unlte'
States, they claim, and will then b.
ready to send to the rulers of tn
government.
Mr.. Swain has not, in his letters
explained just how he intends to &c
the cities within the proposed stat
vacated by the white people nov
resident there, but it is suppose
that he will ''just legislate ther
OUT when the time comes.
