Detroit, Michigan, August 20: Al
the bar association Governor Wilson
of Kentucky, in choosing as his text
the opinion of the United States su-
preme court case Of Crowley against
Christianson that Liberty is not an
unrestricted license to act according
to ones own will" entered into an ex-
position Of the Kentucky character
and the causes which led to the recen,
might rider troubles in Kentucky
and Tennessee. The governor said:
"My promise to the people that they
would need no lawyers If they hurt
anyone in defense Of their homes was
kept but there will be no pardons fol
crimes Of pii!aging, plant scraping'
burning and organized murder. Now
the people are coming into their
own and I look for trials and .convic-
tions, q rare thing up to this time.
The politician who is a partisan
with crime in a straight American
state like Kentucky, will be rebuked
instantly and woe will come to him:
believe there can be no renewal OF
the trouble The night riders are
still unpublished, but no statute OF
limitations protects them. The muir
derers Of Hiram Hodges are still at
large, but the peoples law will pun
ish the criminals In time"
The programme Of the regular ses-
sion of congress includes the fight over
the revision Of the trust laws and the
hopes Of the president to make the In
terstate commerce commission more
effective body. The antitrust laws
inc
pose for which they were framed. The
United States supreme court has rem
dered void the provision of the Hep
burn act which was intended to re-
strain the railroads from seizing and
maintaining contro' Of the coal trade.
The decision permits the railroads to
hold their power over Independent
producers by the simple expedient OF
forming subsidiary corporations. The
control must be crushed II independent
ownership of coal mines Is to have a
fair show and consumers are to be
protected against price combinations.
The antitrust laws, too, contain an
element Of unfairness in that they hit
the good and the bad alike, many large
companies which do not operate in re-
straint Of trade suffering injury. Mr..
Taft wishes to alter the character OF
the interstate commerce commission,
making it a judicial institution that
can investigate complaints against the
carriers, prosecute offenders and en-
force its rulings. The fight will come
between the reactionaries, as repre-
sented by the forces Of Aldrieh and
Dolliver, Cummins, Beveridge and
Mulvane The insurgent groups will
in this be more certain Of the presl-
dents support than they were during
the extra session.
bert Latham the French aviator, to-
day took glorious revenge for the
hard luck which he experienced in
his recent attempts to cross the En-
glish channel and his indefatiga-
Bile, but hitherto unsuccessful ef-
forts to accomplish some nota-
BILE achievement during the present
meeting, by establishing new
worlds record for distance, 154 kilo-
metres, ESQ metres, or 95.SS miles.
Latham covered Is laps, or $50 kilo-
metres, in two hours, thirteen min
utes and nine seconds, and the full
distance in two hours, eighteen min
utes nine and three fifths seconds
which also are worlds records, the
fight being at the rate Of about $50
kilometres an hour, as compared
with 53s made by Wright at Lemans,
and a fraction under fifty made by
Paulhan yesterday. Except for the
one-lap speed records made by Bleri-
OF and Curtiss this week, and Paul
hans time record in the air, Latham
now holds every record for distance
and speed. Like Paulhan he descend
ed only when the gasoline tank was
empty. Nothing could have exceed
o,,1 t,,a, nf
the prolonged flight. In grace Of lines
no other aeroplane here compares
with Latham's monoplane. The slight
ly tilted planes from the long skiff-
like body gives 1t resemblance,
when closed, to a winged canoe, while
sailing high up in the air 1t looks
from the distance like a mammoth
dragon fly. For an hour with fiutter-
ing wings, like a living thing, 1t
fought its way against the storm OF
rain and wind at an average height OF
$50 feet, mounting higher as the
wind rose, until during the worst OF
the storm it was up 500 feet. The
contention of the advocates Of the
biplane that the monoplane would be
unable to live in a strong breeze has
been amply refuted.
Monroe, La, Aug. "a: Angered, 1t
had recently been shot by police off,
GERS in this city, William S. Wade, a
negro, today ran amuck on the princi-
pal business street Of Monroe with a

Fred McGrath, clerk: three negroes
shot in face and body. Wade's body
was publicly burned after it had been
cut down from a pole on which it hung
for half an hour or more after he was
killed An investigation by the police
showed that when Wade purchased
the shotgun and box of shells few
minutes before he opened fire on the
first man that there was nothing un-
usual in his manner or behavior. 9th
er negroes who were with him in the
morning say that he had not been
drinking nor did he show any evidence
Of having taken cocaine. Wade came
to Monroe recently from Pine Bluff
Ark. He was accompanied by several
other negroes and they commenced to
make trouble for the local police soon
after they arrived. 1t was alleged that
they were members of a society in
Arkansas which had as its object re-
yenge for all injuries done the black
