KENNEDY Will
HAVE HEARING
NEXT MONDAY
Held In The LEESBURG JAIL
Denies Statements Attributed
to Him Yesterday

Robert Kennedy was carried yester-
day from Carrollton, Ga, to Lees
burg upon charges connected with the
tragic death recently of Mrs Maud
Childers, at Smithville, and is now
in Lee countys Jail to await trial n
this sensational case that has inter-
ested the entire state, as has no other
quite recently
Preliminary hearing will be given
MIR. Kennedy next Monday before
Judge Henry Long at Leesburg, aud
until that hour interest will remain ut
fever heat.
The arrest of young Kennedy, as
we'll as other features in this cause
celebrae, is the absorbing topic in the
little capital of Lee county and its
metropolis -Smithville-almost to the
exclusion of all other matters.
1t is said that opinion is still very
much divided, and while it is true
that charges have been preferred
against young Kennedy many are there
who protest his innocence.
1t is said that when the morning
Central train bearing him from Car
rOllton to Leesburg arrived at Smith
vile yesterday friends crowded about
Kennedy, expressing belief in his abil-
ity to clear himself of the charges
against him. Many are there in both
towns who do not believe that he ad-
ministered the fatal dose.
Kennedy, it is said, makes EN-
phatic denial of statements attribut
ed to him in the Atlanta papers yes
terday, alleged to have been made
while in Carrollton Jail.
These statements were to the effect
that, while he did not himself put poi
son in the bottle of sal hepatica, that
he knew who did do it; also, that he
loved the deceased too we'll to see her
the wife of another.
These statemnts, it is said, are de-
MED in toto by him.
Another alleged statement accredit-
ed to him was to the effect that he was
passing by the door Of Mrs. Childers
room when he heard her cry out that
she was poisoned, whereupon he ran
from the house to procure a physician
This, too, Kennedy now denies.
The trial on Monday next will com
mand more interest tha nhas any 9th
er in Lee county in years, owing to the
prominence of all the parties concern
ed in this dreadful tragedy.
At the preliminary hearing Solicitor
General j. R. Williams, City Court So
licitor z. S. Childers and probably Co!
J. B. Hudson will appear for the state
while MessTs. Ragan Long and c. B.
Beazley, of Leesburg, and Mr.. Hollis
Fort, of Americus, will appear as coun-
Gil for Kennery. A great through will
attend the hearing then.
Mr.. Kennedy will, of course, remain
in Jail until that time. 1t will then be
in the discretion of the presiding judge
to determine whether the case is one
wherein bail can be allowed.

to the state and county. During 1909 and 1910 applications were made to commit 160 boys to the State Industrial school, 9s of which were refused, and the GUS tody of these boys remanded where it be- longed, upon the fathers or other rela- tives. In addition to these, applications were made to place 132 smaller children in charity institutions. T of whom went the same route, when it was proven that rela- tives should bear the burden.
 ':Ffty-seven other dependent boys have been placed in private family homes in stead of institutions, and are today mak- ing good In these homes. Thus, due to a careful sifting-out process 226 boys and girls have been kept from being public charges within these two years: Their natural rights as children have been con- served as well.
 At the rate of s100 per capita the cost of maintenance as paid by the state at present. this represents money saving of S22, 600 within this period to the public purse. Is 1t worth while?

Montgomery, January 26-tSpeciaL) The new mining. bill came to Montgom- cry today for it's introduction>hto the channels of legislation.
 Mine Inspectors Hillhouse and Me Neil, Jones Moore. G. B. Mccormack, Col. J. C. Maben. H. s. Matthews and Sydney J. Bowie formed its escort.
 These gentlemen circulated among the members of the legislature today, telling the lawmakers of the provisions of the bill and how the provisions would affect the people of the state.
 Senator Moore will remain on the scene for several days, during which time he will continue to talk the good points of the bill and eventually have it introduced into the legislature.
 The lobby from Birmingham feels confident that the bill will be enacted into law, as it is, according to their claims, simply a greater safeguard for the lives of those who enter the mines and dig out its coal.
 MT Bowie is especially interested, too, in the various anti-fee bills which have been introduced. Tomorrow night
  in the behalf of one of the measures. It is expected that additional members of the Chamber of Commerce will ar rive tomorrow.
 MT. Bowie is especially interested in that bill which prevents sheriffs from raiding craps games without war rant This bill. as stated yesterday, has stirred up a hornets nest among the sheriffs of the state, who have a lobby here at the present time.
 Col. John W. Tomlinson. J. B. Babb, J. c. Patterson and Wick Brown were other well known Birmingham men who had business here today.
 w. H. Manly. cashier of the Birming- ham Trust. who has done excellent work in regard to the new banking bill, which was reported favorably this morning. returned to Birmingham this afternoon. MT. Manly is deligh ted with the success of his efforts and states his belief that there is hardly doubt but that the bill will be enacted into law.
 .-In other years" stated MT Manly "the bank have been very moderate in their efforts to get suitable legisla- tion. But little bills were fnvariaply shot to pieces and then it was difficult to get them out of the hands of com mittees.

FRACTIONAL TROUBLES CAUSE
CONCERN TO MADERo AND
DE LA BARRA.

MEXICO CITY, July 5.-With his
work of pacifcation practically finished,
for by the end of the month all revo-
lutionary troops must be mustered out,
Gen. Francisco 1. Madero will have a
chance to meet few of the many
political problems which confront him.
The road to the presidency bristles
with troubles General Reyes. received
as candidate by promise of the min
istry of war, is trouble center. Bit
ter opposition has developed against
him in Madero 3 ranks. His enemies
are raking up some of his acts under
General Diaz. and General Madero has
difficult task to quiet this element.
Still more serious is the rumor that
all is not harmony between General
Madero and the brothers Senior Don
Vasquez Gomez and DR.. Emelio Vas
quez Gomez, minister of Gobernacion.
Close friends of General Madero de-
clare that if the break does not come
before election it will afterward. All
states had to be divided into election
districts under the new census by July
]. The work proceeded slowly and
there was grand rush 10 come In
under the law. Some hold, however,

The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1911-07-25

that the election can be held in states
which did not complete the work in
time.
Still another story is going the
rounds, that President de la Barra is
getting tired of having his work handi-
capped by the fact that General Ma
dero and others have to be consulted,
and that unless he is allowed to have
his own way he will qlit his job in
disgust.
Several public statements of the pres
ident have strengthened the conviction
that his patience is worn threadbare.
The government has already taken
not ornamental, style will be pushed, :"
said the president, in speaking of the
matter. This was a decided slap at
the former government, which had a
weakness toward the ornate.
General Trevino, whose candidacy
for president was launched a few days
ago, will not enter the fight.
President de la Barra is suggested
as a possible candidate should he re-
sign, but his repeated refusals lead
to the belief that if he does quit he
will seek rest in trip abroad and
win avoid the turmoil of political
campaign.
