AFRAID TO TALK
ABOUT AFFAIRS
OF Government, Are Its
Employees.
GAG-RULE METHODS ADOPTED
Under President Taft Keep
the Peoples Business
Closed to Comment.

(By Clyde II. Tavenner, Staff WASH
ington Correspondent of The Herald.)
Washington, June 11.-Government
by stealth, is a. fitting expression to
describe the gag-rule methods inaugu-
rated under Mr.. Taft.
Not merely the average employee OF
the Government, but the highest Off
Gals, are afraid to give newspaper
men information as to what is going
on. Employees are being made to
feel that they owe no fidelity to the
public, but that they are mere person.
al servants of the coterie Of men
now in charge of the Government.
AS a result of the discharge Of
.pincbot, CLAWS. Kirby and other
interior department employees, the
average Government worker to-day
feels that it is worth his position
to discuss even matters of public
record with a newspaper man.
The following official order signed
Dy GeOTBe JUS OHlltHb uhOStOi VI
the United States Geological survey,
gives an idea of the Russian-like cen
sorship that has been established over
Government information:
Rule 2. That no interview shall be
granted without securing from tho
person soliciting the same a promise
that he will, before submitting the
material to his publication office,
present a copy of his manuscript to
the director George Otis SMITH for
approval"
So far as is known among newspa-
per men in Washington, nothing so
drastic as this in the way of press
censorship has ever been attempted
before in America.

Owner Of ReeIfOOt Lake Drowned.

Tiptonville, Tenn, June 11.-Judge
Harris, aged thirty, president of the
West Tennessee Land Company, who
life has been sought several times
by the Reelfoot lake night riders,
was drowned in Reelfoot while swim
ming, this afternoon. A post norton
showed that death was due to heart
failure.
Through his connection with the
land company, which claimed the
ownership of the lake, Harris incurr-
ed the enmity of the night riders.
He received a number of letters
threatening him with assassination.
Following the assassination of
Captain Quinten Rankin by the elan
in October, 1908, Harris had his
home strongly fortified, mines were
laid and a guard kept watch night
and day.
Harris was one of the wealthiest
men in the State.

New York, June 1.-THE Roosevelt

900 of them from all parts of the
country will be in line.
The Roosevelt neighbors" of Oys-
ter Bay and vicinity have chartered
the steamer Nassau to augment the

MRS. ZORAH EBLEN
WAS HELD OVER
Without Bond to Septem-
Der Grand Jury.
WOMAN WHO KILLED HUSBAND
AtlHenderSOn-NegrOW Woman
On Stand With An
other Story.

Henderson, KY, June 13.-Stating
il a her belief that she was in i'm
mnent danger of death or great bod
lily harm and that her children would
be half-brothers to a negro, Mrs.
Zorah ]. Eblen told the story of how
she shot and killed her husband, Balm
w. Eblen, a prominent liveryman and
stockman, in this city on May 2S last
The court Judge, S.A. Young, at he
conclusion of the trial, held her over
to the September grand jury without
bond. Matte White, the negro wo-
man with whom Mrs. Eblen accused
her husband of being intimate, took
the stand and created a sensation by
saying that all the statements she
had heretofore made concerning the
case were net true and that she never
did have improper relations with Balm
w. Eblen. She was shot at the time
of the tragedy and was the only eye
witness to the killing.
The negro woman said that she had
made the previous statements because
Mrs. Eblen said she would stand by
her. She said that the statement she
was then making on the stand was
the only true story of the shooting
She said that Mrs. Eblen persuaded
her to say that she had been init
mate with her husband.
The defense, through attorney, Judge
John i. Dorsey, undertook To prove
thaeashe had -Sbeen. influenced by q
consideration to change her former
statement, but failed. She said that
Mrs. Eblen told her to tell Mr.. Eblen
that he was responsible for her condi-
ton and to ask him for $50.
The testimony of Mrs. Eblen was
to the effect that her husband had
threatened her life the night before
and on the morning of the tragedy
and that was why she shot and killed
him. She said that she had made
reasonable propositions to part in
peace, but that he would not hear
to any of them and proceeded to
"cuss" the whole family, including
her brothers. She was calm and un-
ruffled while on the stand and un-
derwent a rigid cross-eXamination by
County Attorney McClain, assisted by
Gibney Oscar Letcher. She told that
her husband had frequent meetings
with Matte White and she didn't dis
cover it until about April 8.
81 then told him." said she, that
could not be his wife any longer
and that he could go away. Then he
cursed me and Matte White. then
said to my children: You are old
enough to know of your fathers re-
laticns with Matte White and you'll
be half-brothers to a negro and you
can choose who you will go with, me
or your father
Mrs. Eblen denied the statements If
Matte White rejecting on her. she
did not appear at all perturbed by
the judgment of the court in holding
her over without bond.
There was testimony as TO the
shots and the evidence was that the
bullet which entered Eblen's breast
was the one that killed him.

The members of the committee on

Friday evening. After supper they met
the Island Pond Business Mems Associ-

orally and practically discussed, many
taking part in the discussion, while the
members of the committee were very
thorough in their questions, showing a
keen desire to consider the matter in all
its bearings. They made favorable
impression upon those who met them.
The meeting lasted until ll.30, and in
