Nothing Known of the Pro-
posed Armistice in
Manchuria.

Washington, June 21.-August !
is now mentioned as the probable
date Of meeting of the Russian and
japanese peace conference. That
date is said to be acceptable to Rus
STA and Toxic dispatch says it will
be possible for the Japanese plenipo-
tentiaries to leave Yokohama on
June 30. In view of the absence of
President Roosevelt for a few days
from Washington no important de-
velopment in the negotiations are ex-
pected.
According to reports current in
st, Petersburg some preliminaries
looking to an armistice have already
taken place between Gen. Linevitch
and Field Marshal Oyama, but the
War Office offers no confirmation OF
this. On the contrary, the news
from the front, although meager,
seems to indicate that the japanese
advance has already begun.

"0ld Kentucky" Leads ALI
Other States in Prison
Work.

The Prison Work of the Christian
Endeavor societies of Kentucky will
be one of the important parts of the
National Y. P. S. C. E., which meets
in Baltimore July 9th. Kentucky is
really the founder of prison work,
which has been taken up by many of
the states, and of late years has &C.
complished great good in reforming
men while behind the bars, and at
the expiration of their terms sent
them out into the world to lead hon
est lives. The societies of the differ
ent states look upon Kentucky as the
leader in this work.
Miss Lucy Starting is the superin-
tendent of prison work in Kentucky
and will represent the society of the
First Presbyterian church of Hop
kinsville. She will have a Kentucky
booth in the building in which the
meetings are TO be held IN Baltimore.
She will also deliver an address be-
fore the convention and will distrib-
ute a pamphlet detailing the work
done in Kentucky during the past
two years.
Mr.. Fred'k A. Wallis, of New
York, now treasurer of the General
Assembly's Committee of Young
Peoples Societies, has also been in
vited to deliver an address. Before
going East Mr.. Wallis was a recog-
nized leader in prison work and was
repeatedly urged to accept the presi-
dency of the state.
MIR. Lyme Starting, who is now in
Asheville, N. c., studying Y. M. c..
A. work, will attend the convention,
and it is probable that many others
will go from this place.
The fare for the round trip from
Hopkinsville will be S22.25, on sale
July 2, 3 and A, limited to July Is.
On payment of one dollar tickets
will be extended to August 31st.

,Griffiths said nothing, but quietly

Head And Causes In

ASSASSIN AT LARGE.
No Cause AS To Foul Deed
Has Been Brought
To Light.

EdAly HCobCAAdy hlOAAAAiS PNAS~
headquarters was notified of the
killing of negro woman on the
farm of Judge Joe McCarroll, about
six miles from the city, between the
Cadiz and Princeton roads.
The name of the unfortunate
woman was Carrie Johnson. She
had been living with her husband
for several months, though she had
been divorced. She had been mar
ried previously to a man by the
name of Lewis.
The particulars of the killing SO
far obtained are very meager. The
sound of shot was heard at l
o'clock Wednesday morning, and
when the woman was reached she
was lying on the ground with a hole in
her head just behind one ear. The
shot caused instant death. She was
shot from a window on the porch.
The whole matter is shrouded in
mystery and there seems to be no
real ground of suspicion as to who
the assassin can be. The woman
was about 80 years old and had
lived as a domestic on the farm of
Judge McCarroll for several
years. Her last husband had been
living with the Judge for number
of years-in fact, was almost raised
by him.
He has been a good servant, but
he and his wife did not get along
well before the decree of divorce
was granted, and since their living
together after their divorce, quar-
rels have been quite frequent.
Johnson gets "a little off" at times,
and from what we can learn, is of a
jealous disposition. Still there is
not the slightest suspicion attaching
to johnson. eff the green-eyed mon
ster" prompted him to take the life
of his former wife, nothing, so far,
has developed pointing to the fact.
The police were asked to go out to
the scene of the tragedy with the
bloodhounds.
Coroner Allensworth held an in
quest yesterday morning at 10
o'clock and the verdict of the jury
implicated Geo. Johnston, her
former husband, who has disappear
ed. He was seen going in that di-
rection at 8 o'clock p. m. She was
shot in her bed at the window. The
murderer stood up in a chair and
shot through the glass and curtain
of the window. She was evidently
sitting on the side of the bed, fully
dressed. Some one had been with
her until about one o'clock. She
was found about 1:30 a. m. by Mr..
Geo. Startling, who heard the dog
bark and found her lying outside the
door grooming. She lived but few
minutes. The lamp in her room had
been blown out but was still warm.
The jury, after reciting the facts
reported:
1--WE further find that the evil
denee points to George Johnston as
the murderer. We further find that
it was cold blooded murder"

NO POWER TO INVESTIGATE.
The Presldnt Cannot Appoint An Equitable
Commission.

Washington, D.. C. (SpeciaD.-It is
stated that there will be no investigation
of the Equitable Life Assurance Society
by Federal commission or any other
commission appointed by the President.
The Commissioner of Corporations,
who has been inqurinig into the law on
this subject, at the request of the Presi-
dent, informed Mr. Roosevelt that there
was no legal authority for him to APP
point a commission of investigation for
specific case of this character. Mr..
Garfield takes the ground that only Con
gress can delegate such authority. The
law creating the Department OF Com
nerce and Labor empowers the Bureau
of Corporations to make general inquir-
les into interstate business, but it is made
for the information of the Government,
except in such cases as the President
may decide to make public.
In the case of the Standard Oil Com
pany, the House by a resolution directed
the present investigation, specifically
naming the corporation to be investl-
gated. Some such action by Congress,
il is held, would be necessary before
commission appointed by the President
could make any inquiry into the Equl-
table affair

were driving through the estate. The
horses bolted, the buggy was overturned,
and Mr. Ziegler, clinging to the relns,
was dragged face downward. He was
picked up unconscious, and for weeks
was in a precarious condition. He was
hurt internally, and, to add to the COM
plications, had swallowed large guam
tity of dirt, which lodged in his intes-
tines.
Specialists from New York treated
him, and after several months he recov-
cred sufficiently to go about the estate
Six weeks ago he began to fail again
The decline was rapid.
Then came serious accident to hi:

ing, the 12-year-old youngster was caught
on the steel hook of folding bed ane
tore a great hole in his thigh. The boy
was in a serious condition for long
time, but he is now out of danger.
Worriment over the boy and return
of the intestinal trouble caused Mr.
Ziegler's critical condition.
A member of Mr.. Zicgler's household
said:
There was an understanding between
Mr.. Ziegler and Mr.. Champ, his secre
