NO DECISION REACHED.
President Will Consult Members Be-
fore Calling Extra Session.

Oyster Bay, NJ Y, Aug. 15.-Finan-
cial legislation and other work OF the
proposed extraordinary session of con-
gress were discussed during the day
by the president with several OF his
callers The first arrivals were Sec
retaries Shaw and Hitchcock. respec-
lively Of the treasury and interior de-
partment. In addition to some depart
mental questions which they desired
to bring to the presidents attention
they considered with him the sugges-
tions made by the members OF the
senate subcommittee on finance at
their conference with the president
on Wednesday night. particularly with
regard to an extraordinary session OF
congress at a date earlier than Nov. y.
Considerable opposition has devel-
oped to the idea OF calling the extra
session In October. The point Is made
that many senator's and representa-
tiyes will be engaged during October
In their state campaigns and that II
would be politically unwise for them
to leave their states at such time
It was announced during the day that
no definite conclusion regarding the
date of the extraordinary session yet
has been reached and that no decision
would be announced until the presi
dent shall have consulted members OF
both branches of congress and otners.

cRosscUP SOUNDS WARNING.
Supervision of Monopolies Necessary
to Save Nation.

~ S0VC sNoeiOts
Dixon, ILL.,, Aug. 15.-Judge Peter s.
Grosscup OF the United States circuit
court. In an address before the Lu-
theran assembly. expressed his belief
that in the supervision of monoplies by
the government lies the only hope for
the perpetuation OF the American ma
tion and sounded a warning against
the manipulation OF securities in the
interest of unscr W.lous promoters
and spectators
In the fact that within the last ten
years the deposits in savings banks
have increased from $2,000,000, 900 to
$40 ,O00, 900 900 q sinister rather than
q sanguine meaning was traced, the
judge declaring that under normal
conditions this vast amount would
have been invested by the laboring
classes, but that it was lying idle be-
cause polite swindlers and highup
rascals" were able to subyert the laws
and give to stocks value that they
do not really possess.
1--WE can never go back to the days
OF our boyhood." said the speaker,
but we can go back to the days when
the man with 500 did not have to
hoard 1t or entrust it to his neighbor
for safekeeping, but could put 1t into
industries. sure that ii would return
with earnings.
What should be done? Change the
law3 so that no set of men can or
ganize a corporation except on a strict
legal basis Then put 1t under such
supervision as the national banks are
subject to, and believe that, little by
little. this immense boarding In the
savings banks of $4,000 100000 Will
be trickling into ownership again"

PARLIAMENT PROROGUED.
Kings Speech Read to Joint Session
of Both Houses.

London, Aug 15.-Parliament was
prorogued during the day until Nov.
2. The house of commons assembled
with the lords, where the speech from
the throne was read. The speech was
OF little general and political interest.
1t alluded to the cordiality of the
kings reception In Portugal, Italy and
France and to the return visit Of Presi-
dent Loubet, whose visit has given
rise to a striking exhibition of the
feelings of mutual good will which
prevail in the two countries"
The most interesting portion of the
speech to America deals with Ireland.
1t says.
"The warm expressions of good will
with which | was everywhere received
greatly touched me- My visit enabled
me to realize how much was being
attempted to improve the housing ac-
commodation for the working popula-
ton, stimulate commercial activity,
advance the methods Of agriculture,
develop technical education and pro-
vide for the sick and infirm. Much re-
mains to be done. but it was with feel
ings of the deepest qualification that |
noticed signs OF increasing concord
among saall classes in Ireland, presag-
ing, as | hope, new era OF united
efforts for the general welfare
Referring to the Irish land bill the
speech says 1t offers inducements to
the land owners to continue their resi-
dence among the countrymen and pro-
vides facilities for improving the con.
ditions of life In the poorer districts
of the West. II adds:
"This reform. by removing the
ancient causes OF social dissensions,
will, | heartily trust, conduce to the
common benefit Of all my Irish sub
iarfS"

CONVICTED OF ASSASStNATING ].
q. MARcuM AND GIVEN LIFE
IMPRISONMENT.
FIRST VERDICT IN NOTED FEUO
TWENTY-SEVEN LIVES LOST IN
eREATHiTT COUNTY, XIV, IN
PAST TWO YEARS.

Cynthiana, KY, Aug. 15.-The jury
IN the case OF Curtis Jett and Thomas
White, charged with the assassination
OF James b. Marcum at Jackson, KY
returned a verdict OF guilty during
the morning, fixing the punishment
on each ct life imprisonment.
The verdict was returned at time
when there were but few persons In
the courtroom. The only attorney
present was County Attorney Web
ster Jett received the verdict with
comparative Indifference and calmness.
White, who has apparently been under
a severe strain during the trial, flushed
up and his eyes filled with tears.
Attorney Golden, for the defense.
stated that motion for new trial
would be made as soon as possible.
The general opinion seems to be that
the motion will be overruled by the
court and that it will then go TO the
court OF appeals.
The verdict occasioned little sur
prise here after the deliberation OF the
jury had been so prolonged. The only
question which caused the delay, 1t Is
said, was that Of punishment, death or
life Imprisonment.
The verdict on the whole is regard
ed as a victory for the defense. as the
prosecution asked that no middle
ground be taken and that the men
either go acquitted or be hanged.
First Conviction In Noted Feud.
The case has been on trial almost
three weeks, having been begun July
q At the first trial at Jackson the
jury disagreed and it is believed that
the present verdict was compromise,
with juror opposed TO capital punish
ment.
The friends of Captain b. l.. Even
and other witnesses for the common
wealth, who have suffered greatly and
were living in fear OF their lives, are
greatly relieved. They expected the
death penalty, which, they were conf
dent, would have been followed by
confessions from the condemned men
exposing parties high In authority In
Breathitt county who are considered
to be back of the conspiracy.
There have been twenty-seven lives
lost within the past two years In the
Hargis -Cockerill feud in Breathitt coun-
ty and this Is the first conviction. NO
arrests or indictments had been made
until last May, when the troops were
ordered to Jackson TO protect the
grand jury and afterward the trial jury
and witnesses Jett is still under in
dictment for killing Town Marshal
COckerill.
Jett maintained his composure on
hearing the verdict as much as ever,
while White was greatly affected
Jett said previously the rope had never
been made with which to hang him,
but he made no remarks after the Ver-
dict. The friends OF the defendants
showed such relief as to leave no
doubt OF their previous apprehensions
OF the death penalty.
Later In the day the attorneys FOR
the defense made motion for a new
trial and the court took 1t under ad-
yiSement.
