Monday. He was told Of the state
ments made by Col. j. ID. Powers and
gave out the following interview:
81 do not care to discuss the mat
ter further than to say that Col.
Powers Is in error in his statement
of the history" of the differences
one side and the Kentucky and In
between the Rural company on the
diana company and the Independent
Long Distance company on the other
side.
When these two companies pass
led into the hands of holding COR
lporation," called the Central Home
Company, a demand was made that
the Rural company pay about 81 600
or 1,2O0 a year for the privilege of
-Owensboro connections, and this IL
refused to DO. did not care to be
held up in any such style. It then
made a contract with the Cumber-
land company for Owensboro con-
nections. "The objectionable meth
DDS" as referred to by Col. Powers,
have been approved by the Kentucky
court of appeals with whom he
should quarrel, not with us.
Statement Untrue.
The statement that nay company
used the money credits and ap-
planes of the Owensboro Home
Telephone company is altogether I'M
true. This company had no money
and no credit except at the Owens
boro Savings Bank and Trust COM
pany IL really belongs to the de-
positors of that bank whose money
was used by 1t. as evidenced by the
large Indebtedness of Messrs. Carter,
Cole and Parrish about which Mr..
Pedley is now much concerned.
IF our wires were without right
on the poles OF the Independent COM
pany there was a lawful way in
which to have this question settled.
This statement that our wires We're
on these poles without right, we
deny But whether our wires were
rightfully~ or wrongfully on these
poles did not give Mr.. Powers the
right to send men here to destroy
our property in the night time and
without warning.
Col. Powers uses the Omitted
States Court as somewhat OF a
bluff. That court nor any other
court will approve his "Reelfoot
Lake" methods. He will be given
an ample opportunity to test this in
both civil and criminal courts"

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

Acting Secretary of the Interior Will
son has designated 1,65S,64O acres
more of land located in the north
western part of Montana along the
Missouri river near Fort Benton, as
coming within the enlarged homestead
act. This makes 25,466,200 acres thus
designated in Montana.
President Taft has appointed
Charles A. Overlook of Arizona as
United States marshal for that terri
tory. The retirement of B. F. Daniels,
who has served as marshal during the
past few years, marks the passing
from office of another OF Mr.. Roose-
velt's rough riders.
Facts recently submitted to Richard
A. Ballinger, secretary of the interior,
and Fred bennett, commissioner OF
the general land office, concerning
fraudulent entries on 100000 acres
of Alaska coal land, are expected to
uncover the biggest, most far-reaching
scandal ever brought to light by spe-
cial agents of the government.
secretary vi llc hNN Cd6h
is said to contemplate re-designing
the paper currency of the country
His idea is to put the same portrait
on all notes of the same denomina-
ton, and he also believes that the de-
signs should be so distinctive that no
confusion could occur. He thinks that
the present size of the paper money
could be reduced about one-quarter,
conforming in size to the French pa
per money.
Owing to the existence among sheep
in Wyoming of contagious, communi-
cable disease known as lip and leg
disease, the secretary of agriculture
has declared a quarantine effective
August 18th of all the counties in Wy
oming except those on the southern
border line, prohibiting the interstate
transportation, movement or trailing
or driving of sheep from the quaran-
tined area except under rigid restric-
| tions and inspection by the bureau OF
animal industry.
The visit of President Taft to the
Pacific coast and the South, upon
which he will start on the 18th of Sep
tember, will require him to travel a
distance of some 10000 miles and will
occupy very nearly two months.
