Tony Withdraws.

the State Board of Contest with
Hon. st. John Boyle, in
a contest for the office of
Judge of the Appellate bench
from the Louisville district, has
written letter of withdrawal from
the contest. It will be remember
ed, upon the face of the returns
Judge. Toney received 1929 votes
at the November election and Mr..
Boyle 17,704 votes. The certificate
of election was issued to Judge
Toney, but Mr.. Boyle contested his
claim to the office. Judge Toney
believed himself honestly elected to
the office. He thought he would
have the unqualified support of the
Board of Contest, but when he
found he would secure a majority
and not the unanimous vote of the
Board he refused to further have
anything to do with the contest.
The following is an extract from
his letter:
with a cloud cast upon my til
tie by the action of two members
of this Board, feel that my self
respect, the interest of the Demo-
cracy of the State, nearer and dear

rity and purity of the bench of
Kentucky, makes it my duty to re-
fuse to accept the office under
these conditions. Coming to me
under such circumstances, under
the suspicion Of faint, however I'M
supported, in fact and in law, the
office would be without value and
without honor. The mans mind
must be weak, indeed, and his am
bition most depraved, who would
accept even the exalted office Of
Judge of the Appellate Court Of
this proud Commonwealth with his
title thereto besmirched by the dis
senting votes of two out Of five

to accept the office upon such
terms, and under no circumstances
would accept a commission to it
without the unanimous judgment
of your honorable board. This, of
course, | know to be impossible
from the action already taken by
your Board.
when l determined upon this
course, in view of the action of
your honorable Board, | requested
the Acknowledgement of the State
to allow me to read the opinion
which l rendered before your Board
in support Of my election. l have
read that paper. 1t contains my
case, and the vindication of the
Democratic party's action, which
is sought to be impeached by the
contest in this case. Upon that
opinion by the Acknowledgement
| am willing that my case shall go
before the people Of Kentucky and
into the history Of Kentucky and
before posterity. l would have
your honorable Board, therefore, to

AGAINST THE LAW.
ALack of Order at Iron Camp Last
 Sunday.

Dennis Gallagher, the saloon keeper arrested at Iron Camp for stabbing an- other saloon keeper named c. H. Adams last Sunday night, was given 8 preliminary hearing before Justice Kincaid yesterday and was discharged, :, not on account of belief of his inno- cence, but on account of an absence of evidence Of his guilt.
 The stabbing was an incident of a general TOW m which the principals were Gallagher and Adams. When 1t was over two inches of broken knife blade was found sticking in Adams hip. It could not be shown that Gal lagher struck the blow or even that he had ever had the knife in his posses sion.
 About the only thing developed at the trial was that they have loose way Of doing things at Iron Camp and that 8 general aversion to litigation pre- vails. This is gathered from port submitted by special officer, Ben Hall, who undertook to subpoena witnesses in the case. Hall, by the way, is the individual who furnished the lnforma- ton against Gallagher. When he went back to Iron Camp he found strong sentiment against him. The witnesses expressed their disapproval of him and 8 disregard of his sacred character as a minion of the law by licking him and tearing the subpoena in two. Mir. Hall returned to the city early with lip bruised and swollen from violent con- tact with the fist Of an unwilling wit ness. He says he will remain in the city until the climate becomes more salubrious at Iron Camp.

$1,ooo REWARD
Offered for the Capture of
 Smiths MurdererS.
The Assassins Had Planned to Ride Away on the Horse of
 Their Victim.

Rewards were offered yesterday by the governor and the county board of supervisors for the murderers of Frank Smith. The reward in each offer is $500.
 Though the reward can not stimulate officials to greater effort, for they are already doing everything that can be done, it is hoped that it may have the effect of loosening the tongue of some one and thus establish a starting point.
 The hunt is going on quietly, but last night nothing had been learned to afford hope at the sheriff's office that the capture of the murierers would be an early proba bllitv.
 An interesting thing in connection with the murder which has not yet been made public is that on the morn ing following Smiths horse was found saddled and bridled under a shed near the house. The supposition is, and there can be no other supposltion, that the murders, or at least one of them. was intending to use the horse in his flight. In the excitement which at tended and followed the fatal shot the horse was possibly forgotten. Or pos sibiy they feared that pursuit would be so close that the horse would become instrumental in their capture.

SINGULAR IGNORANCE.
A Bridegroom Unable to Tell the
 Brides Name.


 A day or two ago David Alverde de- termined to bring long courtship to a successful termination. The lady in the case WAS willing. 80 David retained the services of Justice Johnstone. He paid the marriage fee i'll advance and gave the justice enough money to procure the license. In reply to an inquiry as to the lady's name Mr. Alverde said Clara" But her last name?" sug- gested the justice. "Quien sabe," re- piled the bridegroom. The justice was astonished and MT. Alyerde had to go to her residence to get the required in- formation.
 The case was so extraordinary that on his return with the pane written in memorandum book the justice desired to know whether the bridegroom had been affected by lapse of memory or whether he did not know the name. It turned out that in 8 coartsbip of two years he had never thought to ask if his proposed wife had any other name than "Cfara D

AN IMPORTANT SUIT.
The Value of Life Insurance Policy
 to be Tested.

Mrs. Alice A. May, by her attorn eys, Street & Frazier, commenced suit in district court yesterday against the Bankers Alliance of California, for the sum of $5000.
 It will be remembered that Mrs. Mays husband died very suddenly in Prescott last summer; at the time of his death he was insured in the above named company and the policy was payable to his wife, Alice A. May. All dues and assessments had been paid on his insurance polio until sometime in 1896. After her husbands death Mrs. May notified the company of his death and furnished 1t with all the proof it desired and after waiting about four mounths she was informed that the company refused to pay the policy.
 In other words the Bankers Alliance of California pays agents to solicit and receive money from citizens of the ter ritory and elsewhere, but when it sus- tains loss it has other use for it's money than that of payment of policies.
 This case is one that the general pub lie is interested Tn as well as the widow. The public wants to know whether it is to receive consideration for the money paid this life insurance comnany, if not it will govern itself accordingly.
 With this case in Street & FraZier's ha1ds the public, as we'll as the widow, can rest assured the defendant com. pany will be brought to terms.

BEING WEIGHED. The Constitutionality of
 the Income Tax. The Test Case Brought
 by a New Yorker Is Taken Up in the District
 Court of Appeals.
Claimed by the Appellant That it Makes an Arbitrary Distinction
 Between Classes.
By the Associated Press.

DS bnS ASSOCthteO EEesS.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The case of John G. Moore, the New York broker, who instituted suit against the com- missioner of interna! revenue to test the constitutionality of the income tax, came up on appeal before the district court of appeals today.
 The points discussed 1n the hearing were mainly reiteratioRs Of those raised in the equity court several weeks ago. The lower court had erred. 1t WAS claimed in holding that the act imposr ing the tax was constitutional; that a double taxation as in the case of an income tax was lawful and that the in- come tax WAS an indirect tax though not apportioned among the several states as provided by taxation.
 Ex- Senator Edmunds of Vermont, who made the argument for MT. Moore, sought to show that even if it were an indirect tax it was not levied consti- |tutionally, Tn that it makes an arbi- trary distinction between classes of in- dividuals and therefore lacks uniform ity. He also upheld the legal right of the petitioner to bring the euit in its present form.
 Aesistant Attorney General Whitney held that there was no ground for equitable proceedings in the case and reiterated his former contentious as to the constitutionaG.y oi' tho act. NIT. Edmunds made short closing argu-
 ment and the court took the case under | adyisement.
