Lexington, Ky„ Nov. 11.—Caleb Pow ere, one of the several men Indicted for the murder of 'William Goebel, In Frankfort, several years ago, was placed on trial again here today before Special Judge Morris, of Henry county. Arthur Goebel, who Is backing the prosecution, Is here. Goebel has little hope, since the Republicans hare come Into power In the state, of seeing Pow ers hanged. He says, however, he pur poses to fight the case through the courts, and If the governor turns the man loose after he Is convicted he will feel that he has done his duty. powers fears a trial at this time, and says that while there is danger of the bitter feeling over the success of the Republican victory working against him, he la determined to answer "ready." Few of the witnesses are here yet and there was a general feeling before the trial opened that the common wealth's attorneys would ask for a con. tlnuance. As soon as the case was called State's Attorney Franklin asked for a contin uance until Tuesday morning, saying that a number of commonwealth's wit nesses had failed to arrive, but that all would be on hand tomorrow.

PEACHTREE GAMES TOUCHED UPON Produces His Degree to Re fute Remarks of Mayor Joyner on “Doctors.” KAISER GROPES WAY THRO’ LONDON FOG London, Nov. 11.—Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany Is In London. One of the most dense and dripping fogs of the year tried hard enough to keep him out of Portsmouth harbor until tomorrow, but there was a sudden rift and the pilot of the Hohenzollern, trying for the third time, made a run for the landing stage and the kaiser's yacht was tied fast just as the fog again settled. It was a most melancholy reception. The brilliant pageant, teemed with enthusiasm and joy which had been planned, was as cold and uninteresting as It could be. The kaiser and his con sort had to grope their way from Ilia yacht and were almost compelled to feel about to And the prince of Wales and duke of Connaught, who were there to greet them. The crowd could not see the emperor and the emperor could not see the crowd. Mustache Drooped. There wae little or no cheering, for the reason that the people did not know whom and when to cheer. The kalser’e mustache, always pointing sky ward, had started to droop before he entered the automobile waiting for .hint. The marine guards were soaked. The kaiser wae muffled up nnd it was evi dent that he feared the effect of the dampness on his throat, which has troubled him greatly for some time. The British warships ran up the Ger man ensign as the Hoheniollem ap peared. The flag could not be seen from the deck. Couldn't Be Seen. Emperor William, In the uniform of the British admiral, stood on the bridge of the royal yacht. He could not be seen from the battleships and the line of sea fighters looked like emudges In the background of fog. Moot people who had gathered at the dock to witness the landing of the emperor had gone home, but the boom ing of twenty-one guns brought some of them back. The prince of Wales and the duke of Connaught also had departed under the Impression that the emperor could not land until the fog had lifted, and they were summoned and lust arrived In time to greet the royal visitor. The welcome* were quickly over and every one hurried to the special train which carried the party, to Windsor, PROHIBITION BILL FOB AJEHEARING Bill Will Come Up as a Spe cial Order On Tues day.

Another Inspector's report on the physical condition of a railroad—prob ably the Southern—will be made early this week by the railroad commission. This Inspection has already been made and Is now In the hands of \the commission. It Is said to be as thor ough and painstaking In Its character as that made on the Georgia road. While there will be no let-up In this Inspection work. It Is believed that pub lication of the report on the Georgia road will have the effect on other lines of causing them to make Immediate repairs where needed. It is believed that all rood* now have forces busy- getting things ship-shape so that the silent and unheralded Inspectors of the commission will not llhd the road* re miss. It develops that these Inspectors have been at work some weeks, and It Is believed that many roads have already- been thoroughly covered. It Is proba ble that every report will be verified In eome way before being given to the public. Money- to pay these Inspectors was a problem at flrst; as the legis lature made no provision for doing It. Governbr Smith, however, agreed to ■use a part of hit contingent fund for this purpose. Before a congregation that filled ev ery seat and overflowed Into the aisles of the vast auditorium of the Baptist Tabernacle, Dr. Len G. Broughton de voted his entire sermon Sunday night lo a reply to the cards of President l.’abanlss, of the fair association, and Mayor Joyner, In which they had an swered the charges made by Dr. Broughton the previous Sunday night. Dr. Broughton took as his text the quotation from the Bible with which the mayor closed his reply: “Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the thing! that are God's.' Dr. Broughton went In with glove* off, repeated substantially every charge that he made In hla previous remarks on the subject of gambling at the horse races at the fair, added that they were true and he stood ready to prove them, stated further that other officials than the mayor had bet on the races and he could name them, and then left the gambling question long enough to pay hla respects to one of the side shows, which he characterised as "a shameful display of woman.' While Dr. Broughton devoted only a slight reference to-President Cabantsa, of the fair, in hi# previous remarks on this subject, he divided hi* lime be tween him and the mayor Sunday night In the reply to their cards. Law Will Be Enforced. Speaking lo the legal phase of the question. Dr. Broughton paid hla re spects to the courts and to the houses on Peachtree, where, he maintains, gambling Is permitted. "As a matter of fact," he stated, the law was violated. Whether the courts will lake IL up or not. I do not know, but there will come a time when the courte will enforce the law. (Ap plause.) The fair authorities maintain, ed a place of gambling; Just as regu lar a place as was ever maintained on Peachtree street, and there they are al most as thick as the houses.” Referring to the other city officials, Dr. Broughton had this to Bay: "The whole business, It seems to me, as made up of city daddies—all these encouraging the children to come In and play." President f'abanl**' card In reply to his flrst remark* was characterized as a series of "why not*.'' and Dr. Broughton. In reply, propounded some why note" to Mr. Cabanlss. "Stick to the Istue.” "Now. 1 have one or two 'why not*,' ” he stated, "lo put to Mr. Cabanlas aa the president of the fair, which Is now- under discussion. Why not tell the people about that charge of permitting gambling at the state fair? This was the charge that was up. This was the thing that dligraced the whole concern. This waa the thing for which Mr. Cab- anlas was criticised. Why not be man enough lo come out and tell the peo ple what they want to know about the gambling, and the extent of the betting on the races? Why not tell the people about those bookmakers that were known to be there every day at their business of fleering the people and disgracing the moral sentiment of this community? Why try to play off upon 'the Atlanta spirit’ when we are talking about a distinct Issue—that of gambling? Yes. why not stick to the Isaue? "Again I charge Mr. Cabanlas as the president of the fair association with aiding and abetting In one of the most disgraceful gambling occasions that this city has had In It for many a day. He knew It, permuted It and encour- aged It.” Dr. Broughton read an editorial from The Christian Index, the official organ of the Georgia Baptists of the state, MINERS HURLED TO THEIR DEATH Htrinne, France, Nor. ll.-U.niflrmntlon bft* Ihn*i» received of a fatal nrrMent at the Itoniinl mini* *h.ift.

'tat** that the beat sentiment of the city Is "misrepresented by the man that occupies the mayor'* seat." The Mayor’s Betting. Dr. Broughton dwelt at length upon the fact that the mayor admitted that he had bet on the races, but had placed only a few bet* of a few dollars each, and upon the Justification which, he said, the mayor sought on the ground that the money was hla own, and the betting wae not against the law. He made the point that It was against the moral law to gamble, and against the eplrlt of the civil law. He held that lhe fact that It was the mayor's own money did not Justify the action any more than putting hla money Into the moat degrading business In the world to corrupt the city would be Justified because the money waa his own. Dr. Broughton staled that his attack upon the mayor waa not a personal one. and that he had hothlng to say against him as an Individual, but aa a representative of the city he was deal ing with him. He argued that the of ficial head of a city had greater re sponsibility than a private citizen, and that hie actions should be beyond the reach of criticism, more ao even than those of a private citizen.

In reality, he waa only a doctor of medicine. Dr. Brough ton showed the degree of doctor of di vinity conferred upon him by Wake Forest College, and read It lo the con gregation. Dr. Broughton charged that the mayor had gambled before, at least one time, when chief of the Are de partment, with some of the. boys at poker, and that he had then promised never to do ao again. On this subject, and by way of conclusion. Dr. Brough ton had this to say: 'if this had been hla only offense we might not have so much to say, but Mayor Joyner knows that I know when lie waa chief of the Are department he was guilty of playing poker with the Are boys. That he did this at least on one occasion. Will he deny this? He dare not. And now In spite of that ex. perlenco, of which ho remembers well, when he promised In the presence of a witness, never to gamble again at any thing. he goes straight on aa mayor and gambles and then laughs at It. "I say again that such conduct Is un worthy of the mayor of the city of At lanta. and as a citizen of this city of ten years' standing, representing a church with two thousand members and thousands of other people who at tend my services, I say again that I denounce for myaelf and for. them all Bitch conduct by him or any other man who holds a like position, who Is held up as the representative of our city and our homes, our business and our church." The mayor made only a short state ment In reply. The statement follows: "My statement of a week ago covers the situation, and I have nothing to add to It further than to say that he practically pleads guilty to the charge that he has been sailing under false colors In poalnr aa a doctor of divin ity.

President Rooie- velt desire* that power be lodged with the executive department of the gov ernment summarily to atop the busi ness of a big corporation If It la found violating the laws. He proposes this a* a means to avoid the delays and uncertainties of court proceedings, and the almost Impossi bility of enforcing court degrees even when once secured. In short, he wants a plan of Federal charter or license, under which, when ever the executive Is convinced that a corporation Is violating law, he may suspend It from the right to continue business. This plan of regulation ha* been suggested by the president to some Influential callers of late. It caused a decided sensation with at least one group of very prominent men to whom It was addressed, and is said to have beep greeted with alienee. HAND Of A STATED TRIAL Of MRS, A1 BRADLEY Court Adjourned in Memory of Justice Mc- Comas. Washington. Nov. 11.—Mr*. Annie M.

It Is believed, will dominate the trial so far as the defense Is concerned, Rnd, although It le evident that the technical defense offered by Mrs. Bradley's attorneys will be that ahe was temporarily Insane, there la behind this the oft-tried poten. cy of the unwritten law, besought by Slot!- LITTLE GIRL HURT BY TROLLEY CAR Little Garda Horton, the 7-year-oId daughter of Mrs. Thaddens Horton, of 3 Peachtree court, waa struck by aa electric car at Peachtree and Tenth streets Monday morning at S o’clock and painfully Injured.
