The fact that Holm was captured so easily was partially due to his being drunk, this being admitted by Sheriff wiio said he was "too full to run fast." The other four "yeg less intoxicated, men" were more and when Incited In separate ells at the reformatory became so drowsy that tlu-y were soon asleep. The whisky was given to them by the otllcers who had them in charge. This fact caused V. H. Whittaker.

of the Martin circuit Court, to the condition the men were in when received. Mr. Whittaker said it was not an infrequent thing for prisoners being taken to the institution to lie given a farewell drink" to cheer them. The practice will have to be stopped, he said, ami lie will begin at once refusing to accept prisoners in such condition. Sheriff Workman made no attempt to deny that the men were to some extent drunk and had been given liquor several times on the way to JelTersonvllle.

Sheriff Workman made no reply to Superintendent Whittaker. To Prevent Jail Delivery. The reason for ordering the men tnken to Jeffersonvllle was not to prevent a mob from hanging them, as that was not feared, but to keep them from being released from Jail by fellow thieves. The Jail Is a small brick building lined with iron plates on the inside and containing a good "cage." Be the "yeggmen" were taken to the officers were advised toJhave a. their hmM vj -ould be kept In safety.

The prisoners have been enjoying themselves at Shoals and it was the remark of Mr. Albright that they had been "blowing themselves." He said they hnd plenty of money to buy whatever they wanted and were allowed to have almost anything. James Martin, who seems to be the leader of the crowd, when asked yesterday how he liked Shoals, replied: Martin likes Shoals. good town and nice people." He was so drunk at that time that he was laughing over Bonn hwav. The four prisoners thought Bohn's leaving was very funny.

Workman is serving his first term as Sheriff and went Into office in January, 1905. Burglar Alarm Causes Excitement. In the last few days there has been considerable talk as to what might be done toward liberaiting the men. Monday morning at an early hour, a butg-lar alarm rcently placed in the Martin County Bank went off and considerable excitement resulted. The belief became current that burglars intended to rob the bank and then liberate the five prisoners, but that the alarm caused the men to flee.

As a restilt of this Judge Houghton ordered the prisoners taken to Jeffersonvllle until jlurther On the trip from Shoals Patterson, Cameron and Bohn were handcuffed together, v.hlle Martin and Clark had a pair of handcuffs between them. The prisoners faced each other in the carseat and made joke after Joke as they rode along. At Watson there is a branch road leading to Jeffersonvllle, but it had been the intention of the officers to go on to New Albany with their prisoners and take them from there to Jeffersonvllle. Jumps Out of Window. WTiile the train was at a standstill at Watson, Bohn suddenly raised a window and went out feet foremost, it being the supposition he had slipped ihls hand out of the handcuff, which was found to jbe unlocked.

Bohn, after being captured, said the handcuff had opened of ts own accord. j. When Bohn went out tjhe window-, Patterson and.Cameron began to shout loudly to cause confusion and the train had begun to move again before it was fully realized the prisoner had gone.

WILL BROOK NO INTERFERENCE Detectives Divorced From Any "Attorney at Law." Board of Public Safety Issues Official Statement. $1,000 Sent By Aaron Kohn May Be Retained. COLLUSION MEANS DISMISSAL The Board of Public Safety, In an official communication made public yesterday, announces that the Police and Detective Departments have been absolutely divorced from "the ofllce of any attorney-at-law or from any other outside interference." The board announces that should any member of the departments permit' any interference from an outside source the employe interfered with will be dismissed at once. The statement w-ap Issued by the board in connection with the Investigation of the acceptance of $1,000 paid by Aaron Kohn to the detectives. The board the detectives to retain this money, being convinced that It does not obligate them in any manner to any; one and that they have earned the money, 'which was offered as a reward for the return of the bonds.

The following is the statement: Board's Official Views. "Jan. 30. 1906. The members of the Board of Public Safety have made a very careful inquiry into the facts concerning the accepfance of $1,000 by the city detectives as a result: of the recovery of the bonds stolen from the store of J.

P. Albaugh at Shoals, Ind. The members of the board, as public servants, have no hesitancy in communicating these facts and their opinion relative to them to the public. "In the first place we regard the capture of the alleged safeblowers by the Louisville detectives as a splendid piece of police work. This fact Is attested by the comments of the heads of police departments throughout the.

United States. We. are iamiligrvsiih the days and nights' hardworlr which the members of the department gave to effect the capture, "We do not believe it can be disputed that the arrest of the alleged safeblowers by the detectives made possible th recoverv of the bonds. Detectives Responsible. "Therefore, we are of the opinion that the local detectives are primarily responsible for the recovery of the bonds and are entitled to the $1,000 which they received.

"The members of the detective department were not able to deliver the bonds to Mr. Albaugh and, fearing that they would lose the reward offered, which they felt they were Justly entitled to. they accepted the 51.000 sent them by Mr. Aaron Kohn. Not Obligated To Anybody.

"Regardless of any position in which the detectives may have been placed, it is mir oninion that they are in no sense obligated to any one for the part of jthe reward which they received, as we believe they merited It by faithful, ln-I dustrious and conscientious service. We should have preferred the $1,000 reward to have come to the detectives from Mr. Albaugh. who offered the reward and who really paid it. but naturally enough he wanted the stolen goods and paid the man who delivered them.

Mr. Albaugh cared little about the men who arrested the culprits as compared with the man who delivered to him the stolen bonds. Interference "Will Not Be Pennitted. "In this conenction the members of this board desire to state emphatically that during' their service the affairs of the local detective office have been divorced completely from the ofllce of any attorney-at-law or' from any connection with any other outside interference. Any such interference with a view of controlling' the action of any member of the Police Department will be met by a prompt dismissal of the employe interfered with.

"As direct results of the work of the detectives under this board the alleged safeblowers have been arrested and Imprisoned, the stolen goods recovered and the saloon where tho alleged culprits were quartered ha been closed. "These facts are all that are known to the1 Board of Public Safety, and the foregoing covers all points In the casa with which we had to deal. "JAMES B. SMITH. Chairman; "JOHN D.

Sewer THE BURNAM BILL SENT BACK. Frankfort. Jan. 30 Special. "The farmer makes his living by the sweat of his brow.

The fruits of his labor, the milk of his cow; He pays his big taxes on horses and hogs. And, of course, favors taxes on blamed worthless dogs. Had Caesar opposed such a measure in Rome. The growers of sheep would have torn down his home; And the star of his glory which greater did wax Would have waned from the time he opposed the dog tax." By the quoting of verse, "Ed, the dog tax man," pushed his measure through the House this morning. Representative Edward Croan he stands on the record.

His bill was made a special order for 11 o'clock, and for an hour and a half those few who opposed the tax and those who favored it apotheosized the dog. Nearly a dozen amendments wore proposed for the bill, most of them designed to kill it. Each time a new amendment was introduced, fairly writhed in agony. He regarded each amendment much as a woman regards neighborhood croup or scarlet fever to which her first-born is ex pi sed. When the speech-making began, Rep- resentP-tlve Croan beamed on all those who talked for the bill, scowled on all those who talked against it.

Representative Rose, who spends a great deal of time on the floor settling the constitutionality of bills, said the bill wouldn't pass the courts. "I am opposed to paying a one-dollar tax on a fifteen-cent dog, anyhow said Mr. Rose. "A fifteen-cent man must pay a poll' tax of SL50. and he does declared Mr.

Thornton. "I object to this bill because if- puts' the dog on equality with the man," twas Representative Stewart's protest. "We have been legislating aganst-trusts since Hec was a pup, and in the interest of the farmer, atl now when the farmer really ask3 us to do something for him, you men object," was Mr. McKnlght's contribution to the gems of the day. "This bill makes the dog a member of the household," declared Mr.

Croan. "Men of Kentucky, you will march up to the cannon's mouth and never tremble. When it comes to voting for a dog tax you show yourself cowards and run," he continued. Then he quoted his verses and "cinched" the passage of his bill by a vote of 65 to 21. It was decided in the House to make the address by former Gov.

Leslie a special order for 12 o'clock to-morrow. Two Louisville Bills. Two bills affecting Louisville were reported favorably. One of these is the Sewer Enabling Act and the other provides for the Assistant County Attorney In Jefferson county. The bills creating the Thirty-second and the Thirty-third judicial districts were also reported favorably.

A petition addressed to the Senate asked that a committee of five be appointed to investigate conditions at the Kentucky Confederate Home and that $3,000 be appropriated for paying the expenses of the Investigation. The petition was presented by Senator Johnson at the request of Alexander Lawson, formerly purchasing agent at the Home. Serious charges are made against the superintendent. Senator Bennett asked for the reference of his bill against betting on horse races. It had been printed for some time.

Lieut. Gov. Thorne referred the bill to the committee on Municipalities. Senator Bennett preferred that it go to the committee on Religion and Morals, but Senator Porter, of the latter committee, said he was perfectly willing that it go to Municipalities.

1 CHARLES G. DAWES TESTIFIES. Chicago, Jan. 30. Edward Morris, vice president of the Fairbank Canning Company, and a member of the firm of Nelson Morris testified to-day in the packers' case that he had been required by Commissioner Garfield to produce for the inspection of the Commissioner the secret profit and loss books of his company, after the Commissioner had prepared his report on the beef industry.

He further declared that Mr. Garfield had taken these 'books and had Inspected them. He told first of receiving assurance from the Commissioner that no knowledge that would be furnished by the packers would be used against them, of how he gave the information to the Commissioner and his representatives, and then he declared that Commissioner Garfield returned to Chicago with the greater part of his report in proofs, which he submitted to Mr. Morris. The witness said that he read the proofs and told Mr.

Garfield that tho report was correct. The Commissioner then, tho witness asserted, demanded that the profit and loss books of tho company be brought to the down-town office of Morris Co. for his inspection They were brought and the Commissioner looked them over. The statement that the Commissioner had called for the secret books after completing his report caused a stir in court, but the witness insisted that he was "required" by Commissioner Garfield to submit the books to him. The other witnesses of the day wero L.

Members of the House evidenced a more general interest in the discussion of the Railroad Rate Bill throughout to-day than on any topic of legislation for some time. The debate throughout was listened to attentively and many questions u-ere asked of the different speakers to bring out either obscure points in the measure or evils complained of, which no attempt had been made to include in the hill. The debate was opened by Mr. Townsend, of Michigan, in an exhaustive argument on the general subject and sharp criticism directed to those who had opposed railroad rate legislation. Mr.

Adanu-on. of Georgia, representing the minority, followed in commendation of the measure and in praise of President Roosevelt's stand on the question, which lie said the minority were availing themselves of in the present instance. Mt. Hinshaw, of Nebraska, depicted the benefit the legislation would do to the great trans-Missouri country, and Mr. Richardson, of Alabama, discussed as a Democrat the things done and left undone in the measure.

Questions addressed to the various speakers by Mr. Sherley, of Kentucky, and Mr. L-ittlefield, oi Maine, indicated that there is to be some opposition to the bill at least in debate. Mr. Towasends Speech.

Regarding the question as one of the most Important ever before Congress, Mr. Townsend advocated the bill as the correct remedy. for the evils which exist, and predicted that notwithstanding the protests of the reads, greater prosperity would come to them under its provisions than otherwise. To substantiate this, he called atention to the tremendous strides of a year in the transportation business and this in the face of the legislation which the last Congress initiated and which the present Congress Is taking up in somewhat more strenuous form. Like the bill of last year, which bore Mr.

Townsend's name, he said the present one was the very least the people would accept, yet the present bill confers wider powers and extends over even' facility of transportation. However, the present bill he believed not only fully within the constitutional powers of Congress, but was simply an expression of the plain duty of Congress to the American people. The Slain Feature. The main feature of the bill, bearing on the point about which the greatest controversy has been had and the one which Mr. Townsend believes lies at the foundation of the whole question.

Is that which gives the commission power on complaint, and after full hearing, to substitute a reasonable maximum rate in place of one found to be unjust or unreasonable. Mr. Townsend went at length into this phase of the proposed legislation. It was the point against which the weight of the opposition had been based alike on the questioned constitutionality, the impossibility for the commission to find a just rate, and the injury such a finding would en-tml alike on business, the railroads and- the widowed and orphaned shareholders. In the broader view of tho question and in the correct conclusion of any of these phases he hut one answer that to require the railroads to be just and reasonable could not harm anyone, while it would benefit all.

"7.200 miles of road had been built during the past year in the United States, and up to June 30 orders for more than worth of railroad equipment had been placed." In No Sense Political. "While Mr. Twnsend regarded the question as in no sense political, he expressed himself as pleased that the Republican party has taken it up. He arraigned the means employed by the opposition to rate legislation.

"To me It has seemed," he said, "that a systematic effort has been made to discredit the Administration in various matters in order to divert attention from this great question, and I have no doubt th a delay i 1 1 be ca used wherever possible in the vain hope that something yet will happen to prevent final action. As one of the younger and most humble Republicans in the House, let me admonish my party associates in both houses that this question will not down, nor will it much longer brook delay. The people have spoken, and every day to us their demand is more imperative. The day of grace' may be passed and the unpardonable sin of trifling with duty may not be condoned, even with deathbed repentance. Bumblings of Discontent.

"Temporizing will bring nothing but disaster. Already we hear rumblings of discontent and socialism smiles with satisfaction with every delay. Regulation of a public servant is not 'a departure from the principles of popular government, but disregard of a righteous law and indifference to legal restrictions imposed to protect the people's rights is more than socialism; It is anarchy, and were I a railroad agent Instead of a people's representative I would hail the proposed legislation aa a salvation to my master from the fate which an Indignant people is sure to visit on the corporations who believe that they are above and beyond the law and seek to become a law unto themselves. "Let the law pass." Mr. Townsend let the railroads heed Its provision's, and.

instead of retarding its execution, aid In its operation, and then, instead of being the objects of suspicion and hatred, they will be regarded as the instruments of progress And prosperity.
