EX-SENATOR RARcIs
Gives Reasons for Asking that

was made by Judge
James Hargls that the case would
be prosecuted no longer.
When asked the purpose OF the
Hargis brothers in moving to dis
miss the case Senator Hargis said
'sWe have had three brothers as
sassinated. We have always been
law abidingcitizens and have never
bsen guilty of any infraction of the
law. We have stood for law and
order all our lives and have en-
deavored through the courts tol
bring to justice the assassins of our
people. In this case we have
proved by many of our best citizens
of the county from every section
that the defendant could obtain a.
fair trial in this county, where he
was horn and raised. There was
no witness introduced by defend
ant who did admit on cross exam
imination that the defendant could
obtain fair trial in this county.
The court being of a different
opinion, we are forced, as law-abid-
ing citizens, to submit.
eve agreed after consultation
with our attorneys weeks ago that
in the event the court should grant
change of venue it was to our in
terest and the interest of this COM
munity that we prosecute the case
no further. We know our brother
was foully murdered, but for the
sake of peace we are willing to let
the matter rest. We owe it to our
selves and our families not to put
ourselves in a position of danger
to which trial of this case in
Wolfe county would subject us and
our friends.

JUDGE JuLIAN's SPEECH
From The Beach at Breathitt
Court-A Deplorable
State of Affairs.

On August II wnen tne courD
convened at Jackson to consider the
case of the commonwealth against
Tom Cockrill one of the most sem
sational features of the hearing was
the talk on Breathitt county con-
ditions, which Judge Julian deliv-
cred from the bench in passing
upon the motion for change of
venue.
"I want to say" said Judge
Julian, "that from my experience
here / find that the reports of law
lessness in Breathitt have been ex-
aggerated; yet must say that it
is deplorable state of affairs when
number of men are shot down on
your streets, and, from one cause
or another, no one has been able to
discover the guilty party or parties.
/ assume that your grand jury will
take vigorous steps to ascertain
who these guilty parties are, and
to see that they are punished.
''But in the mind of the court
and in the minds of people gener-
ally there is a vast difference be-
+.,oo, N hor,;o;do oo,,,,,n;t ttod In on
open fight and homicide by one
secreted in ambush, coldblooded
murder, planned and arranged by
parties who never expect to be tried
and never expect to be discovered.
The admitted fact that there have
been such killings here is deplor-
able. Prosecutions must be set on
foot in this county and the good
people Of Breathitt, regardless OF
every other consideration, should
go before their grand juries with
what information they possess. The
prosperity and welfare of your com.
munity demands it.
AssAssINs MUST BE PUNISHED.

To discover the North Pole, and
to find out what is the matter with
Kansas have been leading questions;
one of podern science, the other of
philosophy, since Columbus demon
strated the rotundity of the earth
in the one instance, and John Brown
settled the windy prararies in the
other. 1t is indeed sad when in
either of the diagnoses, applied to
the respective objects of investigs
tion, some new complication arises
to make previous Investigations
worthless, and necessitate new de-
partures, involving the construc
tion of new theories to meet uneX-
pected and unaccountable phenom-
enon. Now, listen to an announce
ment of a Kansas politician-an
iconoclastic announcement that
may call for an immediate revision
of the variorum catalogue of whats
the matter with Kansas SIN an.

The Census.

The census bureau has issued state
ment showing the increasing age in
population from decade to decade.
The statement gives the results of
computing the median instead of the
average age. The median is such al
age that half the population is under it
and half is over it. The mediani age
of the total population in 1900 was
1913, as compared with 21.9 in 1900.
The median age of the white popula-
ton in the last census year was 23.4
and the colored, including engrose, in
dams and Mongolians, was 1911, while
in 1890 the white population was 22.4
and the colored 1873. The report shows
there was an increase in the median
age of the white population during
each decade from 1910 to 1900 amount
ing in the 80 years to IA years or an
average of about five sixths of a year
in a decade. The median age of the
colored population increased after 1880
but with less regularity.
The median age of the colored popu-
lation increased three years in the 20
year period from 1880 to 1900, or only
about half as fast as that of the whites.
But during the last 20 years of the
century the increase of the two groups
has been substantially the same, 10
years for the colored and years for
the white,

Aeitated-NOrthern Centers De-

Kingston, st. Vincent Sept. S-An ap-
day night. 1t lasted from p. m. till
o'clock Saturday morning. A dreadful
eruption of the Soufriere volcano envel-
oped this whole island in an electric cloud
and smoke. At II o'clock the atmosphere
was still unsettled, but the eruption was
apparently subsiding. The sun was OBJ
scured and oppressive heat prevailed.
The sea was slightly agitated. No sand
fell here The northern centers are de.
serted
An official who has just returned here
says that Chateau Bellair was safe. Only
small quantity of sand and stone fell
there. An adjacent estate, Fitzhughes,
suffered greatly, all the cultivation being
destroyed. The parish is being rebuilt.
There was no loss of life Georgetown is
also safe. No one ventnred within the
fire zone, the Soufriere being still in
eruption. The destruction of the Garth
country is presumably complete.
The eruption yesterday was longer In
duration and more violent than even the
dire outburst of May Z. With a haunting
recollection of the fate of st. Pierre, Mar
Unique. and the last disaster here, the
people converged on Kingston and ran to
and fro, seeking the safest shelters from
the electric cloud spreading over the hills
toward the town, while shocks of earth
quake, though not severe, increased the
panic.
