THE SANDERSVILLE HERALD. POWERS AND HOWARD Freed at Last-Were Accused of ’Murdering William Gobel. END OF THE FAMOUS CASE Great Excitement Prevail* When New* i* Announced—Ev-Governor Taylor Make* Statement. Ijcxington, Ky.—Cal?;) Power* and James Howard, charged with forming and carrying out a plot which result ed in the assassination of Senator WV.ktnt Goebel in 1900, were given full and free pardons by Governor W1I1- ton and will bo Immediately released. They have been confined in prison for more than eight years. Powers is now in jail In Georgetown, while Howard is In the penitentiary at Frankfort, serving a life sentence. Powers will go back to his old home ini Knox county, where his mother has fitted up the old place for his coming. This home was mortgaged early dur ing Powers fight for freedom by hits mother, who did all she could to help her son. Howard will go to Louisville and join his family, and will become an evangelist In prison work. Governor Willson affixed his official signature to the pardons after an exhaustive study of the cases and a review of the testi mony. He was ald.d by arguments of attorneys both for and against Pow ers and Howard, as well as by reading the entire transcripts of the testi mony, covering four trials of Powers and one of Howard. it is said that Willson even carried briefs of the most Important testi mony with him to Washington when he went to attend the conference of governors, in order to discuss various points with other governor.-. He has been steadily working on tue records since he returned. Remarkable semes were witnessed here, at Frankfort, Georgetown, Bar- bourvllle and other points when news of the pardons came. .Men grasped each other's hands and wrung tnem fervently as they almost soboed out the news. Women wept opently on the streets when news ot the pardons was flashed through the count y. In Frankfort and Georgetown, where ihe men are confined, crowds oT friends were standing in ihe corridors of the jail and penitentiary waiting for even one hand-clasp or look from the men who have suffered so long. Both men were almost too overcome with emotion to talk. Powers said: "I am glad to have my freedom, but would rather have had an acquittal by Ihe courts. 1 am not guilty and I hoped that 1 would be vindicated.” This marks the end of oije of the most noted cases ever tried in Am erica. Senator William Goebel, the dem ocratic aspirant for governor of Ken tucky, was murdered in January, 1900, in the state house yard at Frankfort. The shot was tired from Caleb Pow ers' office window, the latter being at the time secretary of state to Govern or Taylor. For a time it. looked as if civil war would lesult, Taylor and many of hin friends tied the state, tak ing refuge in Indiana. Powers was arrested here and found to have a par don for the murder of Goebel, signed by Taylor, in his pocket. He was found guilty three times, but in tue fourth trial the jury disagreed. William S. Taylor, former governor of Kentucky, and now a fugitive in Indianapolis, where he has lived since the assassination of Governor Goebel, made this comment when he learned of the pardons: "The pardon of Caleb Powers and Janies Howard is a most righteous act. Never before la the history of this country have two men suffered so much unjustly.” MBS. SAGE MAKES ANOTHER lilFT. A Flower Bed a Mile Long Given New York City, New York City.—A mile long bed of rhododendrons in Central Park, New York's beautiful breathing spot, is the recent gift of Mrs. Russell Sage lo the people of the city.

CONSUMERS’ LICENSE. New Solution of the Liquor Problem in I State of Waihington. Spokane, Wash.—Compel every man and woman who drinks intoxicating li quors to pay a license fee, exempt sa- loonmen and permit any one who de sires to engage in the traffic, the sole restriction being to sell only to li cense-holders. This Is tile solution Mr. E. E. Hall will offer the state leg islature If elected to that body. Out- ling his plan Mr. Hall says: "Mv plan would he to abolish all saloon licenses, pennlttlng any man desiring to do so to sell liquor. If a man wants to drink lie should be compelled to take out a license to do so, and it should be a misdemeanor for any person to sell to a man who does not have such a li cense. Such licenses should be issued by county and city, a reasonable fee being about $5 a year for county li censes, and from $1 to $3 a year for city. Tills would bring in a larger revenue than under the present license system, and would put the burden wnere it belongs. “'Each license thus Issued should have attached thereto a photograph of the person taking It out, so there could be no using of the license except by this man. It should also contain a pro vision that a conviction for drunken ness ai any time would be punished by a revocation of the license for a peri od of six months o ra year. This ap pears to be the logical solution of the liquor question in districts where sa loons are not barred by local option.”. WITHSTOOD THE TEST. Big Whitehead Torpedo Fails to Sink the Monitor Florida. Norfolk, Va.—Braving the dangers of possible injury, a score of naval official remained on board t.ie monii.or Florida when that vessel wus torpe doed off Bewails Point, in Hampton Roads. Bending an immense column of wa ter 5u fiei in tae air, the torpedo care fully aimed by Lieutenant John V. Babcock, commanding the torpedo boat Morris, exploded with terrific force against the Florida's side. The Florida, although her bulkheads were not p.i.rc d, settled gradually. She was towed back to the Norfolk navy yard, wiiere she will be placed in dry dock. It is expected she will bo pumped dry immeuletely. A careful inspection will then be made to deter mine the exact extent of the damage done. Never has a more spectacular sight been seen in Hampton Roads. With cooi heroism the party on board the Florida got under cover in 'he rear cabin and awaited the shot. There wus a moment ol appalling sk 1 trice when ihe Florida wigwag signal ed ail ready. One second of suspension, then Chiet Gunners Mate Cnarles T. Bald win pulled die trigger. With a bub bling wake of wmte that showed clearly its progress, the torpedo sped straight to the Florida's hull. There was a deep intonadon and a cloud of water, mist and smoke rose skyward. For a moment the Florida was hidden. Pieces of her null, chips and bits of torpedo rained down for several min utes covering an area of 1,000 yards. The Flolda settled slowly. The water was discolored and the a.r had an am- monilea smell. In a few minutes the test was over and the olticial party scattered. CHARGLD WITH FORGERY.

Now Orleans. La.—Scores of persons | are pimping on the roofs of their houses, and descriptions of improvised floating barnyards were among the striking features of a disastrous flood j of the Black river in northeastern Lou isiana. About 2.300 have been either driven from their homes or else coop ed up in tnem by tin overflow whicn started weeks ago and has been re lentlessly rising ever since. Around Jonesvilie, in this district, there are miles of land where there is from 6 to 10 feet of water on the j fields. In these sections people are i living in the second sioriea of their houses. In several cases they are camping on the roofs < f cottagi -. Only the tops of corn crops are seen above the floods. Hoping that there would be a fall, people built rafts of drift logs, planked . them on the upper surface, and are keeping their stock penned on these. The animals are kept alive with brush and willow leaves, brought to them by their owners. There are fully 2,300 men, women and children who are suffering ami fully half that number are in abso- ! luttly destitute circumstances. They ! have not even food to eat to last them | a week. The poorer white and colored families are In a pitiable condition. The swamp fever, which Is common in that section, aided by privation and ex posure, has begun one of its most act ive campaigns. Marksvllle, La.—Red river levees broke In two places below Moncla on Monday. The worst break is about 800 feet wide, with the water flowing through at depths ranging from 16 to 20 feet. Both breaks are on the left descending bank. The Moncla breaks are within about 30 miles of the Mis sissippi river, into which the Red emp ties. UNCLE SAM LOSES $100,000. Registered Mail Pouch From Lcs An geles to New York Missing. Los Angeles, Cal.—Reluctant admis sions made by postal officers of three cities, confirm to some extent the be lief that the disappearance of a regis tered mail pouch somewhere within the Jurisdiction of the Kansas City postoffice, will prove to be one of the largest losses in the history of the : postoffice department. From private sources it was learned that a package of at least $.10,000 in currency was among the contents of the pouch, which carried, in addition, an unusual i large number of letters and packages containing money and other valuables. The amount may reach a total of $100,000. The pouch was in transit from Los Angeles to Xew York, and the postal inspectors refuse any explanation of the manner In which it became lost. That a pouch of value has disappeared was admitted by the department at Washington by Postmaster M. H. Flint of Los Angeles, and by Inspec tor W. J. Vickery, attached to the Kansas City postoffice. There Is reason to believe that the $30,000 package of currency was a shipment made by a Los Angeles Dank to it- New York correspondent. $1,000,000 INVOLVED. Tract 20 Miles in Length and Eight Miles Wide in Dispute. Asheville, N. C.—Claiming title to a tract of land containing 7S,0o() acres in Swain county, for which tney ootained a deed on a hid of $100 at an execution sale conducted by Deputy United States Marshal Ramsey, at Bryson City, E. C. Coffin of Bryson City and Samuel White of Maysvllle, Ky., are now resisting an injunction suit filed against them in (he United States cir cuit court here by the Harris-Wood bury Lumber company. Some idea of the area of this tract of land, claimed in return for the in significant sum of $100, may lie ob tained from the statement in the bill filed by the plaintiffs, which states that the tract is twenty miles in length and from eight to fifteen miles in width, and an idea of the true vjlue of this land may be gotten from Ihe allegation that at a forced sale on September 1, 1906, the tract was pur chased by the Harris-Woodbury Lumber company for $449,024.05, and it is now estimated to be worth over a million dollars. EVANS AND MEMPHIS. U. C. V. Clote Their Convention in Birmingham. Birmingham, Ala.—With the selec tion of Memphis as the place for the next reunion, and the election of Gen eral Clement A. Evans of Georgia as commander-in-chief to succeed the late General Stephen D. Lee, the United Confederate Veterans adjourned their annual convention late Wednesday af ternoon. CLEMENT A. EVANS, The selection of the place of meet ing aroused great rivalry between Memphis and Atlanta, these two cities being the only ones put in nomination. Strong speeches were made for each place, but when Virginia came over to the side of Memphis, the Atlanta sup porters realized that the fight was lost. General Clement A. Evans, the new commander-in-chief, Is a man of pleas ant address, and one of the most loved In the army. He is a native of Geor gia. and born of North Carolina and Virginia revolutionary parentage. He was a graduate of the Georgia Law school, and began practice of law at 19 years of age. Hu was elected judge of the county court at 22 and stute senator at 25. The civil war commenced when he was senator, and although he was ex empt from military service he joined a company in his county in January, 1861, und began his military career. He was first elected major of the thirty-first Georgia regiment, and then promoted colonel. His regiment was put in Lawton’s brigade, afterwards Gordon's brigade. General Evans suc ceeded Gordon when lie was promoted major general, and again succeeded Gordon in command of tae division. His service was in the Army of Northern Virginia; he participated in all the bat tles fought on the soil of Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. He was wounded five times, two of them very serious, one at Monocacy and the other at Gettysburg. In command of his division at Appa- mattox, lie made the last fight, which was done after the surrender because he had not received notice of the truce. There was the greatest excitement In the convention hall when the tini-6 came to elect a new commander-in- chief. After General Irving Walker had taken the chair, General Bennett II. Young nominated General Evans in v lowing speech. General Withers nominated General Cabell and the vote resulted Evans 1,232, Cabell 1,084. In the contest for the place of next meet ing the result was Memphis 1,196, At lanta 1,120. Following the election of command- er-in-chlef, General George W. Gor don was elected commander of the | department of Tennessee to succeed General Evans; General Irvine Walker was re-elected commander of the army of north urn Virginia, and General Ca bell commander of the trans-Missis sippi department. The report of the credentials com mittee showed that there were 780 camps in attendance, and the total number of voting delegates 2,350. All the veterans were enthusiastic in their praise of the manner in which Birmingham entertained them. An interesting feature of the big re- j union convention was the inauguration of the movement to buy the birthplace | of Jefferson Davis. NEWSY PARAGRAPHS.

HUGHES WINS HIS FIGHT Succeeds in Making Betting on Races a Crime in New York. BILL PASSED BY ONE VOTE Large Crowd Attend* Graveicnd Track and Several Arreat* are Made for Violating the New Law. Albany, N. Y.—After a struggle, the precise like of which no man In or about the legislature has ever seen, the famous Agnes-Hart race track gambling bills are now laws of the state of New York. Governor Hughes, by his signature affixed to each of the bills crowned a legislative victory, the brilliancy of which, equaled only by its unexpectedness, is conceded even by those who fought him In the matter to the last ditch. The decisive votes, which passed the bills, were cast by Senator Otto G. Foelker, of the fourth senatorial dis trict of Brooklyn, who crawled from a sick bed and made a 60-mile rail- read journey to do it, so weak und dis tressed in mind ami body that he seemed on the verge of utter collapse, and by a new senator, William C. Wal lace of Niagara Falls, who was elect ed in a special campaign preceding which the governor himself toured the district, speaking in behalf of his elec tion. The vote stood twenty-five to twen ty-six In favor of the bill. Notwithstanding the new law, be tween 13,000 and 20,000 persons Jour neyed down to Gravesend race truck Friday to see the horse* run and. If possible, to make a wager on their favorites. Hundreds of gaily dressed women were In the crowds. Six races were run, and six favorites won. There was betting, too, on ev ery side, though Judge Cavanaugh, the master of the betting ring, announced tlmt no speculation should be indulged in. Nine persons were taken into cus tody by the police authorities, wno, in uniforms and plain clothes, circulat ed in large numbers among the crowd in the betting pavilion. The prisoners wero charged with violating ihe new anti-gambling law and each man wus held in $500 ball for a hearing tomor row. Something akin to u riot occurred when the first arrest, that of Richard Weldon, a bookmaker, was made, just as the horses were going to the post for the first race. Detective Carr, in plain clothes, grabbed Weldon, alleg ing that he lmd seen him accept a bet. A score or so of angry men sur rounded the pair and the detective and his charge were jostled severely. Each succeeding arrest was follow ed by a wild scramble of the crowds to get near the chief actors in the scene, but no violence occurred. Allan Pinkerton, the head of the detective force at the track, rushed hither and thither, shouting: "Go back, hoys—go back. Help the sport along by having no disturbance. Be orderly, boys, and everything will come right.” When the racing enthusiasts began arivlng at the track an air of ex pectancy was noted everywhere. Gath ered in small knots on the lawns could be seen men talking over the situation und speculating as to the probable effect the new laws would have upon racing*' In the betting ring the bookmakers hesitated to begin business, but doubt as to what would be permitted was early dispelled by John Cavanaugh, the master of the ling, who warned the layers that no infringement of the law would he sanctioned. "If you want to bet individually,” said Cavanaugh to the bookmakers, "you do so at. your own risk. There will be no giving and no taking of displayed odds, and no attempt to do these things will be permitted." BROUGHT GUNS TO COURT. Nearly One Hundred Texans, Who At tended Murder Trial, Disarmed.
