Yesterday brought the sixth round of the
great fight that has been raging for n
week between the citizens of Washington
and Hot Weather and at the end or the
round Hot Weather bad tho residents of
the Capital City decidedly groggy All
previous records were broken Even the
mercury at the Weather Bureau which
lias persistently ranged In maximums
about S6 and 37 when nearly everyone In
Elated that it was ICO or over took a run
tip the tube and recorded a maximum of
101 shortly after 2 p m the highest that
lias been recorded this year
At Afflecks all records were smashed
Sweltering persons stood around the big
tuba and observed with well founded ap
prehension the mercury fairly spurt up
to 101 at 2 oclock That was the point
reached at the same hour on Friday and
tho optimistic ones began to entertain
hopes that yesterday would be no hotter
But they wero doomed to disappointment
The top of the red streak kept on rising
till at 4 oclock It touched 103 a figure
that has not lieen approached within 1 1 2
flegrees this year Then it began to slow
ly decline end at S p m marked 92
A brisk wind wa3 blowing all day but It
teemed to have little effect on the general
torrldlty save to act as a means of
evaporation for the thousands of beads of
perspiration that stood out on thousands
6f brows On the streets tho sun beat
lown with tropical vigor Even In places
Kbere tall buildings cast shadows there
rras no relief for hot blasts of air from
Ihe scorching pavements swept Into every
took and corner
Business enterprise was at low ebb and
residents were so listless that
Suburban to talk of the injustice of1 a
ouble fare The early closing hour in
rogue on Saturday enabled many business
nenr and clerks to get away to cooler
ilaces than desks and counters Street
ars en route to suburban resorts wero
irowded nil the afternoon Railroad ticket
31ces that advertise special rates to sea
ihore and mountain points were besieged
sy people anxious to get away over Sun
lay
Those persons who had taken early sum
mer vaeatlOES cursed the luck that com
piled them to remain in town at present
High temperatures prevailed all over the
East but In no place was it as warm aa
nt Washington Philadelphia sweltered
vtth the mercury at S7 and Atlantic City
twept though It Is by ocean winds sent in
o the Weather Bureau an official record j
M 88
There is reason to believe however j
that the hot weather will soon be over

Bureau last night the following statement

THE APPEAL OE NEELY
The Department of Justice Surprised
t - ly the Move
The Department of Justice Is completely
taken aback by the news of Neeljs cp
peal It was suggested to the Attorney
CcneEllareday3 ago that -this might b5
the defendants next move but he waived
the ddea aside on the ground that there
would be nothing on which the dfenc2
couldtas a habeas corpus application tl 1
Judge Lacombes order had been slgncJ
placing Neely In the custody of an officer
who was to take him to Cuba
The papers in the case have not reached
here yet so that it U impossible for any j
authoritative opinion to be formed at the j
Department es to Judjc Wallaces reason
for entertaining the application at all even i
to deny it and thus establish a ground for j
appeal It is thought in some quarters
that the application may hava been made to
relieve Neely of his present detention on
the plea that the United States Govern
ment had simply locked him up on the
charge which it had no intention of prose
cuting in order to hold him for extradi
tion en another charge and that this W2S
a frivolous proceeding interfering with his
liberty for no sufficient cause

GEORGETOWN Ky Aug 11 The
prosecution entered upon rebuttal today
and It was shown that Caleb Powers did
not spend the aftcrnooa of January 25 in
his boarding house as Irs swor he Cid
Some weeks ago Noake3 testified that he
had two talks with Powers on the after-
pioon of January 25 In the statehouse jard
Powers to offset this snore tfcat h2 was
not In the statehouse or yard that after
noon Today It was proved that he wag
in the yard and near the statehouse ubaut
i oclock that afternoon which leaves him
in a bad plight as to credibility
The testimony to the effect that Wharton
Golden exhibited a roll of money and said
it was a part of the 100000 reward was
also positively contradicted
A L Reed of London Ky said he
heard Attorney Sparks say Gocbel would
bo killed and that Taj lor would pardon
the man that did it
What did you say when Sparks ead
that a6ked Colonel Sims
I said It would be a low trick to have
a man killed and then paidon the murder
ers answered Reed
Zepsania Settle of Landon said he heard
Attorney Sparks say Friday before Goebcl
was shot that Goebel would be killed and
that Taylcr would pardon the man or men
that killed him
W C Lutkomcler Joseph Gobbcr W T
Reading and George Shaw merchants
whose stores are on Broadway fronting
the Statehouse Square all testified that
they saw a number of people on the street
just after the shooting but do threats anl
no evidence of any sort tf violence and
neither of them knew or heard of lhelmo
crats having 2000 guns or any guns con
cealed around Frankfort
Prcs Thompson a saloonkeeper on the
same street testified to the same thing
Mace Williams chief of police Austin
Robincon and Zach Thompson Frankfort
policemen said they hsl good opportuni
ties to learn of it If tbejguns were there
but had never known or heard of 2000
guns or of any guns being held or con
cealed by Democrats
Fiauk Kavanaugh Assistant Stats Li
brarian swore that he Saw Caleb Powers
on January 25 In the afternoon standing
near the legislative building talking to
Charles Flndley and Wharton GoIJen
after 3 and before 5p m This testimony
was extremely lmportanl because Powers
testified that he spent the whole after
neon at his boarding house in South
Frankfort Kavanaugh remembered It be
cause it was tho day the big crowd of
men was there because he walked hmr
with Miss Hardin the State Lltrranat
that afternoon on account of the big crowd
and because he spoke to Findley as he
passed He described minutely the posi
tion in which the three men stood
Percy Haley of tho
House of Representatives corroborated
Kavanaugh and said he left the contest
board about 420 that afternoon and saw
Ppwers Flndley and Golden talklt to
gether at the same spot -named by Ilava
naugh
George Barnes testified several days ago
that shortly after Gcebel was shot he saw
Fred Gordon with a gun running aboutila
tho crowd on Broadway Gordon wa3 put
on the stand today and said he was at
Flat Creek nine miles from Fracuor
when Gocbel was shot and did no get
back till 3 oclock and never had a gun in
his hand that day lV
At 210 this afternoon Mr Franklin said
the prosecution desired to adjourn over
till Monday to get witnesses to rebut the
questions asked today about boxes of guns
being carried into the Stateprlsop The
request was granted

YACHTS SAIL BACK TO NEWPORT
CSrt Amir Prom Vineyard Haven In n
Frexhciilnc Itrec zc
VINEYARD HAVEN Mass Aug 11
Tho harbor fronting this quaint old town
presented on animated appearance this
morning when the sun roso over the Xew
York Yacht Club cruising fleet lying at
anchor here It is not often nowadays that
more than two or Ihreo yachts are an
chored here at one time and merchant ves
sels only come Into tho harbor when seek
ing refuge from storm In consequence the
natives and summer guests here rose up
as one man and extended welcoming arms
to tho yachtsmen but at the same tlmo
they did not hesitate to take advantage of
the hospitality of the visitors All sorts
of sail beats put cut to the anchored yachts
this morning and those who had not
friends aboard cruUed about the flet pay
ing special attention to tho yacNs the
names of which have frequently nipeared
as cup winners In former regattas
Cottage City Edgartown and West Chop
were not one whit behind Vineyard Haven
however and the trolley lines leading from
these places to the harbor were taxed
beyond capacity Practically everyone
around here went down to the New York
Yacht Club station last night and In honor
of the assembled yachts the trolley cars
were gorgeously decorated with colored
incandescent Most of these lights were
arranged on the roof3 of the cat3 and when
they shot along through the darkness at
full speed the effect was striking Almost
all the motormen wore golf or bicycle
suits Whether however It was In honor
of the yachts or whether It was their or
dinary working garb could not be learned
A band was brought down to the harbor
front last night but the musical treat did
not take place because some one forgot
to put electric lights In the stand which
had been erected for the occasion The
band returned to Cottage City a very dis
gusted crowd of musicians
The yachtsmen were congratulating
themselves last night on the splendid run
from Newport tB this point The wind
blew steadily from the south southwest
and the racers made the Vineyard light
on one tack It was beautiful reaching
md there was not one of the racers titat
did not finish BegrtfS oclock The only
unpleasant incident of the race was the
foul committed by- the Virginia which
caused her to be disqualified after she bad
outsailed all of her competitors The trou
ble was that she crossed the line on the
wrorrs jldopf the stake boat It was a
serious mistake nnd cost Mr W K Van i
derbilt jr a race wbichhe had won quite
handily The cup was awarded to the
Mtneola wlrlch finished second Tho Vir
ginia showed thai she could foot as fast
If not faster than any of the seventy-footers
7
Mr Vanderbllt did not know that he w
disqualified -until after tho race When hu
ii iCl the news he appeared much sur
prised
The wind was blowing from the south
west this morning It was not particularly
strong tutlino prospect for improvement
appeared good

THE- DISTRICT DEMOCRATS
nnuhl tin in the Outc ome of Kfictlotml
nlfTerencrs
What will be the outcome of the row be
tween the two factions of the District
Democracy no oie In authority seems able
to tell From tvst to last the Norrls fac
tion which wanted to run things whether
or no received no encouragement from
tho National Committee As Is well known
the antl Norris delegates were recognized
at the Kansas City Convention the Na
tional Ccmmlttcc deciding that half a vote
should be accorded each faction Of course
this was a practical repudiation of Norrls
whose election It was allege- was not
strictly In accordance with the rules that
should govern the primaries
Tho recent action of the Democratic Na
tional Committee In Indlanapoli3 which
was In effect that the quesion of selecting
a representative for the National Commit
tee from the District should be left to the
District Democrats was a disappointment
to the followers of Norrls for they felt
confident that the question would be de
cided by the National Committee which
would elect him The Holmead people it
Is said are satisfltl with the decision of
the National Committee and are willing to
have arcther prln arj which shall be fairly
and squarely conducted at which only Dis
trict Democrats shall vote to decide the
question
The antl Norris people say that If an
honest expression of opinion Is had It will
be at least 10 to 1 against Norrls Ac
cording to the gossip in Democratic circles
last night Norrls Is said to have Informed
Senator Jones that It the question was
referred back to the voters of the Dis
trict he Norrls would receive an over
whelming majority Senator Jones Is re
ported as siylng that If that were the case
then he Norrls could have no possible ob
jection to another primary
There seems to be no hurry on the part
of -either faction to take the initiative and
order another primary as suggested by the
National Committee It was said last night
that unless some action ls soon taken It
Is not Improbable that Senator Jones as
Chairman of the National Commute will
appoint a new Central Committee and di
rect it to hold a primary to elect a mem
ber to represent tho District en the Na
tional Committee There Is a strong prob
ability that some decision will be taken In
the matter within the next ten dayr
