Argument in the Power* Cane Wns \ot < 0110 1 11 (led—Cloning- Speech for 1 lie Prosecution Will Re Made This Morning—Powers, Campbell Said, First Thought of an Alibi tils Shrewd Means of Having One. Scathing Denunciations Made. Georgetown, Ky., Aug. 17.—The argu ment in the case of Caleb Powers, charg ed with being an accessory to the mur ]?r of William Goebel, was not conclud rl today, the court refusing td hold a night session. Commonwealth Attorney Robert Franklin will make the closing spe l h for the prosecution to-morrow morning. The argument for the defense was clos e! by ex-Gov. Jolfh Young Brown. The entire morning session and nearly an hour This afternoon were taken up by Col. T. C. Campbell for the prosecution. Col. Campbell intimated that Jim Howard fired the shot, but subsequently said: “I do not know who tired the shot that knit*! Goebel, but it was one of the five principals named in the indictment—Jim Howard. Berry Howard, Henry Youtsey, liarland Whittaker and “Tallow Dick” Combs, and every one of them was there by procurement of Caleb Powers and W. S. Taylor.” At the close of Col. Campbell's speech, the court announced a modification of the instructions to the jury, defining the words “unlawful act” to be “to alarm, in cite. terrorize or do bodily harm.” This v ion instructs the jury that if Powers ar l others conspired to do an unlawful c 1 and as a result of this William Goebel was killed, it should find* Powers guilty of murder. Col. Campbell cited statistics showing a comparison of the murders committed ;n Kentucky and Ohio. During the four years of Gov. Bradley’s administration, h said, there were 896 murders in Ken tuck;. There were 285 convictions for mur der and 216 pardons of murderers. For the same period. Ohio, with double the population of Kentucky, had only forty nine murders. Caleb Powers had, he de clared. in the brief time he' acted as Sec retary of State, attested the pardons of seven murderers who were set free by Gov. Taylor. H< took the diagram of the State Capitol grounds, and tftis in connection with the measurements of civil engineers and the autopsy on the body of Goebel, were used in :racing the bullet. By this he said U ;; . inclusively proved that the shot was find from Caleb Powers’ office and defied th* defense to try to shake the correctness of the demonstration. He referred to At torney Owens of the defense as one of Powers’ fellow' assassins, and said that while he always refrained from calling men liars, the temptation was great in tin case of Lawyer Sinclair, “who made himself one of three witnesses who test!-’ fi**d that the sound did not come from the direction of Powers’ office, while over 100 other witnesses testified that it did come from that direction.” Campbell continued: “All shrewd crimi nals, of which class Cal-b Powers is one, first arrange for an alibi. The mountain army was brought to Frankfort, Jan. 25, and, thinking it would perfoim its mur derous mission, Powers goes to bed t the house of John Davis, a conspirator, but he foul de and is not committed and Powers leaves his bed and waits for an other day. On J; n. 30, the second appoint ed day, he delves deeper Into the work of establishing an advance alibi. He goes into exhaustive details of locking his offi<*, though he never locked it before, and leaving for Louisville on pretense of bnnging more nun 10 Frankfort. This time th** plan is b tter laid, and as soon a* the assassin’s bullet is fired from the Secretary of State’s office, Powers raises his hands and exclaims: “I am innocent because I was in Louisville when the murder occurrrcd.’ ” Kx-Gov. John Young Brown, In closing the case, characterized William Goebel as a leader of men and the manner of his taking off accursed. The state had failed to make out a case connecting Ca leb Powers with the murder. He attacked the theory of the proseoufion that The bul let cut from the hackberry tree was the one which killed Goebel and declared that the mathematical calculations of every civil engineer who has testified here, if fallowed to its logical end, proved tha* fact. He ridiculed the idea that the mountain army was brought to Frankfort for the purpose of intimidation or murder, ns testified by Noakes, Culton and Golden, and declared Culton, Golden and Noakes absolutely unworthy of belief.

Washington. D. C., Aug. 17.—The death of Col’.is P. Huntington has led somebody to recall the fact that he and the late "William Goebel of Kentucky locked horns a few years ago in one of the greatest struggles between corporation and anti corporation Influences which any stale has know’n. The most important link in many ways in Huntington's plan for a huge trans continental railroad, connecting San Francisco with Newport News, was the Cincinnati and Ohio, which was charter ed in Kentucky. Asa member of the state Senate, Goebel fathered a measure which sought to forfeit the charter of this rail road. At first the big railroad magnate laugh ed at Goebel, but he soon found he was up against a hard proposition and person ally took charge of his Interests in the Blue Grass state. Then began a contest which was even fiercer In some respects than that between Goebel and the Louis ville and Nashville Railroad, which real ly culminated in the death of the ont-day governor. Goebel won, as he did In all of his fights before the Legislature. The result was that Huntington was glad to dispose of his railroad in Kentucky and had to aban don the most gigantic transportation scheme of the Huntington brain. COI LD 'PHONE THE NEWS. Lonsr Distance Line admitted of the President Being titan Washington, Aug. 17.—There is a good deal of wonderment expressed in diplo matic circles over the fact that during the past several weeks, when affairs abroad have been so critical, the Presi dent and most of the members of his offi cial household were absent from Wash ington. A leading member of the corps, who, of eourse.discialmed any thought of criticism, said that such a state of affairs would have created a great deal of unfavorable comment in his country, even with his monarch a virtual despot,to critilfse whom, even in the idlest terms, is lese majeste. This attache probably did not take into consideration ihe great part which the lone-dislanee telephone how plays in the business affairs of this country—not only of individuals, but as this crisis has has been made in electrical communication that the President could be off in Ohio and still keep himself almost as thoroughly posted on government affairs as if he had been in the White House.

MUCH MORE BEFORE POWERS. Germany Feel* There U a Great Deal to Be Done In China. Be fore All In .Settled. Berlin, Aug. 17.—The news regarding the entrance Into Pekin was further con firmed to-day by two telegrams received by the Japanese legation in Berlin, one dated Aug. 14, saying that the allied forces were only ten miles from the capi tal and the other briefly announcing that they had entered. This evening the German press accepts the fall of Pekin as a fact. While ex pressing joy at the happy discharge of one part of the China programme, the papers iwinf out that there is much left to do. The Berliner Post says: “A great thing has been done, but a greater thing must be done before the otllied l owers will be satisfied. It remains to obtain redress for attacks upon the le gations and other wrongs, particularly Ahe assassinsrion of the German minis ter, and to install a government which will punish the guilty and give ample guarantees against the recurrence of sim ilar crimes.” % The National Zeitung. the Freisinnige Zeltung and the Vosslsche Zeitung ex press themselves in a similar strain. Referring to a number of special dis patches appearing in German papers. whWh claim that the United States gov ernment. now that the members of the foreign legations are relieved, is to with draw from the international undertaking, a high official of the German foreign of fice said this evening: “The Washington government has as sured the other Powers of Its willingness to co-operate In carrying out a joint pro gramme. This assurance has sufficed . c o far and will continue to suffice in spite of newspaper stories to the contrary.” Mr. John B. Jackson, United States charge d’affaires, w’hen his attention was eallled to these specials, said: “The United States government has act ed with the greatest harmony regarding Chino, with Germany from the outset. In fact up to Pekin the Powers are all ugreed, but beyond that no agreement has even been attempted. The future must be left to new diplomatic negotiations.** WHY THEY DIDN'T FIGHT.

The rich Chinaman has had his club for centuries, and, as a rule, In the elegance and splendor of the Internal decorations there Is nothing com parable with It In London or New York. Most of the larger Chinese cities, like Canton or Pektn. contain a club for Man darins and rich men with pretensions to rank. Home have a political taint, some, are merely social, but all have one pecu liar feature. This Is a room or oratory set strictly apart for religious exercises. In the or atory the Image of a Chinese god Is placed. From time to lime members of the club enter the sanctuary to offer their devotions. Apparently tt Is no un common thing at the beginning or suc cessful ending of a great enterprise—such as, say. th murder of an enemy, or the consummation of a political conspiracy to see a Chinaman hastening from the secular part of his club bearing a rich Offering, or a prayer, for the got! In the club sanctuary. He observes his devotion# with a grav ity that bears witness to his sincerity, gome devout Chinamen visit the god the moment they enter the cltth building, and again proetratc themselves lari thing hefore leaving. The club god Is not usu ally a war divinity, but mat, In the cen ts r# where the Boxers hold sway undis turbed. It Is more than probable that the Boxer god has been placed In all the r.lubs.
