FOR LIFE
SENT VP FOR MURRFR OF
GOEREL OF KENTUCKY.
Ham Stood Three Trial for Hie Charge
ami Has Been In Jail Six Years, for
Five of WlUoli Time lie lias Studied
Ijiw A Typical Mountain Rose
rk in Everything Except Appear
ance Is 40 Years of Ago and tlie
Ylciini of a Feud. No Matter as to
the Killing of Goebel.
Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 2. James
Howard, convicted of the murder of
William Goebel, arrived nt the Frank
fort Penitentiary today to spend the
rest of his life there, unless some un
expected turn of fortune liberates him.
He Is one of the most interesting
characters that ever crossed the
threshold of a penitentlnry and his
arrival caused considerable stir among
the people of this city in general and
the prison officials in particular.
After spending nearly six years In
Jail, standing three trials and fighting
his case through the supreme court,
Howard was defeated in his struggle
for liberty and the supreme court con
firmed the judgment of the Kentucky
courts.
Howard never lost his nerve for a
single moment. He was as cheerful
on his way to the penitentiary and up
on his arrival, as he was on the first
day of his arrest and said he was con
fident that he would eventually be
vindicated and liberated.
In many ways Howard Is the most
picturesque figure of the Goebel mur
der case. The commonwealth repre
sented him as the typical mountain
feud fighter and dead shot who went
to Frankfort to kill Goebel in return
for a pardon for having killed George
Baker in a feud. Personally, Howard
does not fill the Idea of such a person
at all. He woutd never have been
taVon for a desnerate man from the
mountains. He is handsome and of
distinguished appearance, of fine phy
sique and unusually graceful, with
easy manners. He looks like a man
of fine intellect and a student. In
deed, he has been a student for five
years, as during his Imprisonment he
has devoted his time to perfecting
himwiir tn the law.
Howard was born In Clay county
40 years ago. His father was a scnooi
texoher. Howard lived in the moun
tains all his life and early became an
expert shot, like all Kentucky moun
taineers. He was first a deputy sher
iff of Clay county, then school teach
er lowver. reneral storekeeper In the
government revenue service ana ii
nally assessor of Clay county, which
he held when he became involved In
the Goebel trouble.
Howard is a victim of a Kentucky
feud, whatever were the circumstan
ces of the killing of Goebel. He was
In Frankfort the day Goebel was
shot, trying to procure a pardon for
killing George Baker from W. S. Tay
lor, then governor of Kentucky. The
prosecution has maintained that he
was to get his pardon for killing Goe
bel. Howard has maintained that in
this seeming connection he was a vic
tim of circumstances.
The Baker-Howard feud broke out
in 1S97. The Bakers one day am
bushed Jim Howard's father and two
brothers, killing the brothers and des
perately wounding the father. Jim
Howard, as soon as he heard of it,
mounted his horse and rode to the
scene. He claims the Bakers tried to
ambush him and that he escaped by
using his horse as a shield. In the
encounter he shot George Baker to
death.
Howard was indicted for the mur
der of Goebel in April, 1900. He was
then in Clay county, where he might
have remained Indefinitely, as the
mountaineers are republicans, and
would have afforded him protection
against an army. But in the month
of May Howard went to Frankfort
and surrendered. His first trial result
ed in a sentence of death, his second
of life Imprisonment, both being re
versed. The third verdict was life
Imprisonment and was sustained by
the supreme court.
TO STOP MILEAGE ABUSES.
Army Officers" Travels Run 1 1) Rig
Bills on Government.
Washington, W. C, Feb. 2. P. Is
expected that some provision of law
will be made at the present sesslrn
of congress to limit travel on the part
of army officers. The amount of
money paid out for mileage of offi
cers who travel under orders has
reached such proportions that fach
yar there is a deficiency ani mis
year the outlay is heavier than evr.
There h;is been evident In the
house and senate military commit
tees a denlre to know all the facts
concerning the mileage system, and
It is believed that limitations can be
put on the amount of travel, especial
ly In such cases as permitting officers
to return from the Philippines by
way of Europe. The war depart
ment authorities say there is little of
this round-about travel, and that
whenever It has been authorized
there were good reasons, which could
not always be published, for such a

home-coming route. It is also said
that there Is little of this extra, travel,
and that economy should be practiced
In other directions.
It has been found difficult, how
ever, to Impose any restrictions In this
respect, such as the disapproval of
recommendations from the depart
ment commanders and heads of staff
corps who are anxious that their sub
ordinates shall make certain trips. At
the same time It Is considered neces
sary to exercise greater economy In
the disbursements for army mileage,
and It would not surprise army offi
cers to learn that new rules will
shortly be adopted to this end, even
If congress does not enact special leg
islation on the subject.

All the Rrnnelies of tlw Service Will

Overcome and Muy Forestall the
Entire Undertaking Would Be In
Open Camp Three Months.
New York. Feb. 2. Plattsburg bar
racks. New York, will be one of the
seven or eight large camps In this
country next summer where the entire
army, with the exception of the coast
artillery forces, will mobilize, provid
ed a recommendation of General
Bates, chief of staff of the army, Is
carried out. The idea has the indorse
ment of President Roosevelt, who has
held that the service did not get
enough work In the field.
The entire cavalry. Infantry and
field artillery branches of the army
will be brought together on govern
ment reservations, such as Plattsburg
Barracks, Chiekamauga, Fort Riley,
Indianapolis, Cheyenne, Fort Clark
and American Lake and possibly some
place In southern California. It Is
planned to have the troops proceed
to their respective camps by march
ing, the Infantry commands to march
not more than 200 miles going and
coming, and the mounted troops to
cover 300 or 350 miles.
This will not be an economical
measure by any means, and Is not to
be adopted with any such understand
ing. As a matter of fact, it costs
much more to have troops proceed
from one point to another by march
ing than it would to transport them
by rail, as there Is a scarcity of wag
ous, and the cost of that clas of
transportation is considerable. At
most places where it Is proposed to
hold the camps It Is believed there
will be sufficient ground within the
limits of the reservation to engage In
maneuvers. It may be necessary In
some cases, however, to rent addition
al territory, and at those places where
the reservation Is not sufficiently ex
tensive for such purposes and addi
tional land Is not obtainable, the
troops will merely drill and have other
similar exercises.
It is planned by General Bates to
have the troops actually In camp for
three months, or away from their
posts for about four and one-half
months. In this scheme there is no
provision for a share for the national
guard, although this will be possible
if the state authorities choose to draw
upon the militia fund for this pur
pose. The details are now being prepared
under the direction of General Bates,
who Is very enthusiastic over the pro
ject and is backed by many other of
ficers of the general staff.

superior Judge, to disbar him from
practice of law in the state. A total
of 19 charges were filed. In these
19 charges the Judge is accused of
unprofessional conduct, especially
during the time he was Judge of the

one of them, If proven. Is sufficient to
disbar him. Martin's trial is now In

WILL TRY NEW AIRSHIP.
Cincinnati Capitalists Interested in
Stegman's Invention.
Cincinnati, O., Feb. 2. The infor
mation has been given out that a test
with a new airship will be made to
day, which was invented by Fred
Stegman of Hartwell, In this county,
a conductor on the Mlllcreek Valley
street car line. Several Cincinnati
capitalists are said to be interested
In the venture and it Is understood
that they are well satisfied with the
result of the trials heretofore made by
Stegman. '
Several times Hartwell people have
reported seeing an Immense body
floating over the suburb, but not un
til now has It become known that the
"Immense object" was Stegman's air
ship making trial trips. The Inventor
Insists that he has overcome the dif
ficulty of steering met by other In
ventors. Two fans are used and the
airship is directed by stepping from
one end of the ship to the other, thus
changing the balance of weight.

WHAT IS
Advertising?
A business force that within the last 15 years
has developed into a science. A a legitimate
and honorable way, if judiciously and properly
pursued, of keeping oneself pleasantly in the
minds of the public, to the benefit of both the
advertiser and the public.
It is a science as sure as political economy
is a science. It's development depends upon art
as certainly as that of any other science. "
Advertising is the greatest force in business
today. Advertising matter, if properly pre
pared, is sure to be read is sure to influence
the reader. The public looks with ever in
crersing respect and interest on the man who
advertises well.
The EAST OREGOMAN reaches more
people in Umatilla County than any other
medium.
The exact time for the test today
has not been given out, but it Is be
lieved that the flight will be under
taken this afternoon from some high
point overlooking the Mlllcreek val
ley. The capitalists interested In the
air navigation scheme will be present,
but th plaece of starting has been
kept secret to avoid the gathering of
a large crowd.
All old-time cough syrups bind the

clears the throat, strengthens the mu
