IN BREATHITT COUNTY.
Not Feud Conditions, but the Rule
of Hired RufSans.
To the Editor of The Tribune:

TO the Editor of The Tribune:
Sir: Much is said in editorials, squibs and
cartoons in newspapers all over the United
States about the 'feud" and the "feudists' in
Breathitt County, KY. But there is no feud,
no vendetta. nor anything of the kind in
that county and>has not been for many years
In order to understand the conditions prevailing
in Breathitt County which result so often in
murder and arson. we must transport ourselves
back into Italy of the sixteenth or seventeenth
century.
Such conditions are we'll described by Man
zoni in his great story The Betrothed CT
Promessi Sposi'). The scene is laid in 1921 in
the duchy of Milan, then under the Spanish
crown. The book opens with proclamation
by the Spanish Governor in which he forbids
the keeping of "bravi'' (hired ruff1ans) by the
barons and other great men of the duchy under
penalty of Imprisonment. conf1scation and death
But the author adds that every governor had
issued proclamations of the same kind for nearly
hundred years, and that the evil had not been
cured.
The story then begins in good earnest with
Tomaso, peasant boy from the mountains ana
a pretty girl whom he is to marry in few
weeks; the village priest, however, receives
message from the neighboring baron Through
one of his hired ruffians. forbidding the cere-
mony. The priest, knowing that disobedience
means death, tells Tomaso that he cannot unite
him to his girl. Tomaso then goes to the lawyer
in the next town for advice and help. When the
lawyer hears that the baron is to be proceeded
against, he deems discretion the better part OF
valor, and declines to meddle in the business.
The girl is put into a convent for safety; but
the baron obtains the help of a bolder and more
powerful man than himself who has her kid
mapped even from this sacred abode.
Now, there in Breathitt County some
comparatively rich men, who keep in their en-
ploy hired ruffians C'bravi'D, either perma-
nently, or as the emergency arises. Quite apart
from the late assassination of Cox, Cockrell
and Marcum. a case came before the courts a
few years ago in which four men were accused
and convicted (two of them on their own confess
sions) of having for hire waylaid and shot a
man who was obnoxious to their employer.
At the trial of Curtis Jett, the murderer Of
Marcum, his lawyer claimed that the evidence
was very weak, and said that if Jett was not
the nephew Of Jim Hargis he would hardly
be suspected. THE Louisville Times the DEM
ocrauc evening paper. urges Hargis's removal
from the Democratic State Committee
There is no family feud in Breathitt like that
which few years ago filled Clay County with
fresh graves; but there is one powerful, bold,
bad man, served by minions and ruffians. among
them officers of the law who lords it over his
neighbors in the fashion of a medieval baron.

ENGLAND, RUSSIA AND UNITED STATES

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Nathan Appleton. in his letter to The
Tribune of the 9th inst, would like to know
how the guns (Armstrong's make which he says
he examined at Five Forks came across the At
lantic Ocean and became part of General Lees
army of Northern Virginia" Did it ever occur to
Mr.. Appleton that they might have been procured
by very unpatriotic Northerner, who disposed OF
them to the Confederacy for considerable sum !?
Unfortunately, every army and nation in the world
have their traitors, who will do anything for a
price"
In the last clause of his letter Mr.. Appleton al
lows his generous spirit to soar high. He says:
Let Russia take Ianchuria any other places
she wants by the Pacific Ocean, especially If, IN so
doing she will excite the antipathy or ire or the
Britishers'
1t may be that I not well versed in geogra ply
but 1 have dim idea that Hawaii and the Phil
ippine Islands by the Pacific Ocean" Does
Mr.. Appleton in the fulness of his generous heart,
want Russia TO take these. too? l wonder whether
the acquisition of them by the Russian Bear
would excite the antiPathy and ire of so peace i
loving a American? In conclusion would IKE
to that Russia, with all her warlike prepare, a.
other place in which the great British Empire has
an interest. MRS. j. b CAMPBELL"

THE LYNCHING OUTRAGEs.
Passions Infamed by Sensational Press Re-
ports.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The mob seems to be calling the roll Of
States, and many of them appear to have respond
cd thus far. Iowa has answered. according to the
press dispatches and has promptly lynched mig
ger" Where and how will it all end?
beg to call your attention to excerpt from
an English newspaper just received commenting
upon an alleged interview held with the Rev. r. J.
Campbell, of the City Temple London, at the time
Of the Wilmington lynching, which represented
that gentleman as being in sympathy with and
giving expressions to- sentiments unworthy of a
Christian clergyman and gentleman. I quote
from 'The New Age of London, July 3 1903:
A correspondent has recently called our atten-
in the list Of the committee of the General Sir
hector Macd4Rald @ Memorial AS me- no address vas
that it was not the pastor of the City Temple who
was taking part in the business of glorifyng Cen
era1 Macdonald But to represent him as approv-
ing lynching is atrocious lbel-of that. at least
is perhaps the biggest liar on the face of the
ear earth and in this we he are sure that he has
and wonted virulence. Mr.. CampbelIs friends may
American reporter, and have thought it needless
to contradict foul lieobviously, on the face of it,
i'll advised They should have lost not an hour in
cabling to Mr. Campbell for for an an authoritative con-
tradiction of this abominabie libel
The American correspondents and interviewers
are not fattered by this opinion OF them 1t is to
their pernicious activity. their forid maginations
and their alleged graphic accounts OF some Of the
very ordinary offences committed by negroes that
we are indebted for the saturnalia Of lawlessness
and exhibitions of barbarism which are Of almost
daily occurrence in this country.
Professor James, in his article quoted in The
Tribune OF few days ago on lynching, might have
that class of Wing reporters Who manufacture SEN
sations that arouse the sleeping devil in men, pre-
ing to know that the English press does not swaI-
low the output of these accommodating and mis-
Yonkers. N Y, July 26. 1903. JOHN E. BRUCE

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.


THE Tribune Fresh Air Fund was the first
movement of the kind in the country. Every
other one. here or elsewhere, has been started
after or in imitation of this pioneer. The Trib-
une cordially welcomes all cOlaborers in the
field: but without wishing to deprecate in the
least the work of others. thinks ii it's duty to
remind readers that the Tribune Fresh Air Fund
is, so far known, the only in which alb
solutely every dollar contributed by the public
goes directly to the work of sending a poor
child to the country, keeping him there for two
weeks and bringing him back again. Every So
insures such vacation to at least one child.
There have been years in which, owing to the
magnitude of the operations Of the Tribune
Fresh Air Fund, such result was insured by
every 81 50. No collectors are ever employed,
and all collections made for it are purely vol
untary All expenses for organization, agents
and the general machinery of the charity are
privately betrayed by The Tribune Itself and by
the trustees of the fund. There are no per
centages to collectors to come out of the con-
tributions Of the public, and no payments to
agents. manager, secretary or others Every
dollar goes straight to the benefit of a child
