A large crowd gathered at thea Hippo drome last night to witness the third and last event of the masquerade carnival, which was the source of much amuse- ment.
 In the first class six contestants en- tered for the prizes for the biggest hat worn by skaters. and all wore creations of enormous proportions. Miss Carrie Scott won the first prize of $10 for wearing a big picture hat in red three feet in di ameter. The second prize went to G. R. Long of the Hat Box, who wore an enor- nous black stokepipe.
 About twenty-five contestants entered for the prize for the smallest hat, which was won by Nose Lebanoff whose hat was so small that microscope was nec- essary to discover it. J. H. Connolly won second prize.
 Miss Carrie Scott, who won the big hat prize, also won the first prize on Thurs day night with E. J. Deasy for graceful skating, and the same couple won sec ond prize on Wednesday for the most original costume. This young couple will soon make a tour through the south giv- ing exhibitions.

VENDETTA RULES
 IN APPALACHIANS How Boone Logan Cleaned Out
 the ToIllverS BIG PROBLEM IN KENTUCKY Political Influence of Leaders Makes It Almost Impossible to Convict.
 Minor Fueds Are Never
 Mentioned.
BY FREDERIC J. HAsKIN.

Every section in America has its crim- inal problem, but none has one more diff cult to solve than that of the Appala- chian region where the vendetta. Is as common today as 1t has ever been In Corsica. The newspapers print frequent accounts of "killings' in the feud region, but many murders done by mountaineers never find their way into print, for the very good reason that local correspon dents often fear to report them. The difficulties experienced In attempting to enforce the law against mountain aF sasslns are numerous. In many sections local sentiment is not sufficiently hostile to clan warfare to make 1t possible to se cure convictions, in other clan leaders are powerful in local politics and control the machinery of the courts, and no feudist is without sinews of war in the form of alibi witnesses who will testify to any thing suggested to them by the attor- neys for the defense.
 Far from being always primitive, the mountain feudist is often an advanced criminal capable of business affairs, fairly educated, well-to-do and of good address. According to his code of ethics he has the right of revenge. Like the Italian of the lowest social caste, he does not hesitate to strike in the dark, but like the Highlander of Scotland in the days of border forays and clan battles, he is proud of his position as a clansmon or clan leader in section where a record for unpunished murder Goes not result in ostracism.

SALOON NAILED UP.
Man Found Doing Business After Be-
 Ing Ordered to Close Up.

A saloon operated by W. D. McCarty at No. 2l24 Second avenue was ordered by the Mayor, to remain closed until the City Council meets in June, because it was discovered doing business after or ders had been given for all saloons to remain closed. The keys of the saloon had been taken away from McCarty but he obtained other keys and opened up yesterday morning when the rest of the saloons were granted the privilege. Cap tain Johnson went to the place, closed the saloon, nailed up the doors and placed new locks both on the front and rear doors. It is said that McCarty threatens to bring suit about the matter.

Young, who was charged by the .Logans with complicity in the feud. and who would have been shot down with Tolliver if the avengers had caught him in More head, was afterward chairman of the democratic state central committee, the governing body of the party in Kentucky, and Is now a circuit judge His brother, William Young, is an attorney for Judge James Hargis of Breathitt county, who IS charged with several murders growing out of the Hargis- -Cockrill feud in Jack son.
 Kentucky is just now wrestling with the prosecution of a number of men charged with complicity in the assassination or James B. Marcum, James Cockrlll ana Dr. D. B. Cox at Jackson, known as "the city of sudden death." The important figure in the prosecutions is former Coun- ty Judge James Hargis, the alleged leader of the Hargis clan. Thomas White and Curtis Jett, the latter a nephew of Judge Hargis, are now serving life sen tences for the Marcum murder. Harg1s IS charged with having hired assassins to
 kill the three men mentioned, and several confessions have lent interest to the case.
 Judge Hargis is estimatd to be worth $10O,000. His brother, Alexander Hargis,
 was formerly state senator. His cousin,
 the late Thomas Hargis. was one of the
 Judges of the Kentucky court of appeals.
 Judge Hargis, aside from presiding over a court of first instance in Jackson, and
 having one business partner In the office
 of sheriff and another business partner upon the circuit bench at the time of the
 assassinations was a member of the state central committee of his party, and
 powerful factor in state politics. Two of the three assasslnations were com mftted in broad daylight by men con- cealed in the court house, and the other was done by firing squad placed at the
 rear of the Hargis supply store at dusk to kill Dr. Cox as he returned from professional call. It is freely predicted in Kentucky that if the prosecutions against the alleged leaders of the liar
 gis clan fail because of the political in fuence of the defendants, another Boone Logan will be heard from.
 The larger feuds of the Appalachian region alone attract attention. Many mur-
 ders committed in remote sections or the mountains never gain publicity wider that that afforded by neighborhood gos- sip If feuds are ever stamped out in the mountains, it will be by the influx of a
 new population attracted by the great
 mineral resources of the section, and the reformation of the county and state poli- ties At present the mountain assassin finds the concealment of his identity, and escape from conviction if detected, such
 simple matters that he has very little fear of the law.

Romance has invested the feuds of the
 Appalachian region with glamor, but
 the feud of fact is sordid. The fighting
 is rarely done in the open. Assassination
 from ambush is the common form of getting revenge upon an enemy, and se-
 curing immunity for assassins by interfer-
 ing with the processes of courts is tho
 common form of protection relied upon by the clan in power in local politics.
 The mountaineer Is not, as a rule, lack
 ing in physical courage, but he avoids an open fight as the North American Indian
 did, upon the ground of unnecessary eX-
 posture, and shoots from ambush to avoid leaving a clue that may result In an moving if not serious clashes with the law.
 The dockets of criminal courts in tue
 feud states are clogged with cases against mountaineers, but convictions are few,
 death sentences extremely rare. and par dons secured by clan leaders with state wide political influence for convicted as-
 sassins are not uncommon. The focusing
 of public attention upon a single feud sometimes results in lull in hostilties, but rarely in the uprooting of the trouble. While a state is going to large ex- pense to prosecute one clan, others con tinue to practice their vendettAs without
 much fear of mloestation. Statistics show a greater number of nomlcides in the Appalachian mountains than in any other civilized section of the world and noly persons who are familiar with conditions
 there, and with the difficulty of securing the conviction of outlaws, can understand why the Appalachian states have made so little progress in eliminating their bad
 men, while the states west of the Msslss ipp have made such encouraging progress
 In the elimination of similar characters | there.

The most serious problem that con-

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as It can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
