ley and John Black, col, under in
dictment for the murder of Special
Deputy Robt. H. Coffey near EN-
pire in October, 1901, were called
Tuesday, both sides announced

The jury was not made up until
Wednesday morning when the TAX
ing of testimony began. The Com
monwealth elected to try Anderson
Woodruff, Drake and Wiley hrst.
Reynolds attorney asked a sepa'
rate trial for his client, which re-
quest was granted. Merica and
Black will also be tried later.
There are about $50 witnesses in

The principal witness introduced
up to yesterday afternoon was Guy

dictment for the murder.
He told of joining the union camp
near Nortonyille, where a great
number of guns and much ammuni-
ton were stored. He testified that
on the night before the murder he,

Jim Merica, Francis Drake, Mace
Young. Joe Bowling and John
Black left the camp to make an at
tack on the nonunion miners at
Empire. About sunrise the next
morning while the strikers were on
the brow of a hill near the mines
several nonunion miners pass
ed near. Somebody fired, then fol-
lowed fusilade of perhaps eighty
shots. The strikers fled and as
they were Fastening back to camp
a man on horseback came on them
in pursuit.
Reynolds said John Woodruff ex
claimed: my God!" and fred.
The man fell from his horse. The
strikers fred several times in the
direction of the man and hurried on.

BUSH WILL WIN.
Judge Cooks Supporters in
Christian Now Few.
His Own Managers Oazed By the
WaIIOnia Disclosures in Re-
gard to Trust Funds.

The disclosures made by Judge
Bush in regard to the record of his
opponent, Judge Thos. P: Cook, in
the speech at Wallonia last Satur-
day, are having a far-reaching eff
feet, Judge Cook has lost much of
the following he had in this county,
which was confined principally to
Hopkinsville and Pembroke. Some
OF his strongest supporters in Hop
kinsville have changed front and
no serious effort will probably be
made now to organize this county
for Judge Cook. Information comes
from Pembroke that practically all
opposition to Judge Bush has dis
appeared and his friends are now
claiming a practically solid vote
tor Bush at Pembroke.
The canvass is being conducted
this week in Lyon county. Judge
Bush has a list of appointments
covering the whole week and it is
understood that Judge Cook is with
him. Next week they go into Cal
loway county and will spend two
weeks. Judge Cook is clearly get
ting the worst of it in the joint dis
cussions and it is not certain that
he will accept a division of time all
the way through. In fact it is being
limited in some quarters that Judge
Cook will sooner or later realize
the utter hopelessness of his cause
and decline to put up his entrance
fee. Whether he runs through or
not, it is the general opinion of the
best posted politicians all over the
district that Bush will carry every
county in the district. OF course
the situation may improve, but that
is the way it looks at this stage Of
the campaign
The improper use of the trust
funds in Trigg county is not the
only issue that is weakening Judge
Cook. The record of his cases il
the Court of Appeals is also proving
load to carry.
When Judge Grace was on the
circuit bench, it was a very rare
thing for one of his cases to be re
versed. Judge Linn and Judge
Breathitt also made good records
during their brief terms, but the
fact stares Judge Cook in the face
that 81 out of 49 cases, or more
than GO per cent, have been re-
versed in FIVE years. Judge Bush
is charging that the record is one
of the worst in the State. Almost

M( =. w. Riley, Of Newstead,
has sold his fine saddle stallion,
Waco Dare, to J. h. Walker, of

best price ever realized for a saddle
stallion in Christian county. Waco
Dare's first colts are just now
coming into the market and as high
as $500 has been refused for some
of his three-year.olds.
Mr.. Riley is making quite a rep

Men are driven and horses are led
They have little wagons called rick
shaws there which men sit in and Jap
anese drag around. The man thus
drives the Jap. When horses are
doing heavy carting you see the la
borers leading them.
This country is like the South be-
fore the war. There they got slaves
and for awhile the country beat the
North in progress. A negro standard
of labor was set up and the immi-
grants from Europe found it no use
for them so they went to the north,
found the better conditions for labor
and it is this that makes the North
more prosperous today. The same will
occur here. You have Asiatic-the
lowest standard of labor now. That
will be broken up and while it is going
on you will be losing the white i'm
migrants. Then finally after the Ash
atics are gone the Americans will come
in and the country will go ahead
again.
I'm the Philippines T do not think
there will ever be many Americans but
there is no need for Chinese as the
Filipinos will soon progress enough so
that they will be able to do the work.
ct understand that these Korean
suits have been brought to the atten-
ton of the American Federation of
Labor and that they heartily endorse
them. They will assist in opening
the eyes of the federal officials and
stopping the Japanese. 1t is the same
here as it was in Pennsylvania about
twenty or thirty years ago. AT that
time the mines imported, by assisted
passage, large numbers of cheap la
borers from Europe. Assisted pas
sages are now helping to flood this
place with Japanese.

for them. This is contrary to the law
recently passed by Congress. Some
one is liable for each one making up
that ninety-nine per cent to the ex-
tent Of big fine. The federal gov
eminent will soon find a way to stop
this"
Thus said Ed. Rosenberg while seated
in his comfortable room at the Young
hotel yesterday. Mr.. Rosenberg was
reading a volume giving the report of
the Mitchell Investigation Commission
and thus trying to learn conditions
here. He produced a short letter sign
ed by Samuel Gompers stating that he
had been sent out by the American
Federation of Labor to investigate Ia
Dor conditions in Hawaii and the Phil
ippines. He has been away from San
Francisco about six months on this in
vestigation business and during this
time his expenses have been paid by
the American Federation of Labor. Mr..
Rosenberg does not impress one as an
American but is a naturaliZed citizen.
He was born and lived in the Baltic
provinces of Russia until he attained
the age of manhood.
"There is something very bad" he
continued, connected with immigration
here. Hundreds of Japanese are COM
ing here monthly contrary to the pro-
visions of American law. l will report
this to the American Federation of La
Dor and 1 think that action will be
taken to stop this immigration. The
Japs are also entering San Francisco
| in large numbers and I think that they
will be stopped from entering Ameri-
| can territory at all unless they can
conform with the present immigrat ton
| laws.
| I'm Hawaii the planters do not want
American labor. They have set up an
Asiatic standard of labor and so no
| American will care to enter. Thus
think that the prospects for white
| American labor here are nil at this
time. The Asiatics will first have
to be stopped in order to improve con-
ditions. Then, / think, as this report
by the Mitchell commission shows
that negroes can gradually be brought
here and in time a few white men car
gradually work their way in. The
planters have taken advantage of an
| nexation to flood this country witt
Japanese and this is not developing
the country in and on the traditional
lines that President Roosevelt ha
spoken Of The American Federation
of Labor is strong and 1 think tina
there will be enough influence in TIL
United States to prevent the bringing
} of any more Asiatics here. I thinl
the Japanese can be stopped in a shor

it will take to do it.

the negroes were brought here before
the mistake was made of getting them
