SHERMAN DECLINES POSITION.
Illinois Lieutenant Governor Refuses
RooseveIts Offer of Place.

Washington, May 24.-Lieut. Gov
Lawrence Y. Sherman of Illinois
Thursday declined to accept his ap-
pointment by President Roosevelt as
a member of the Spanish treaty claim
commission. The reason assigned by
Senator Cullom, who took Mr.. Sher-
mans declination to the White House,
was that Mr.. Sherman did not feel
like leaving his present position when
the legislature of Illinois had not yet
formally adjourned its session Of this
year. According to reports in other
sources politics has something to do
with the decision of Mr.. Sherman.
Mr.. Sherman had already accepted
the office to which he was named by
the president and his commission had
been signed. 1t was understood that
he would take the Office next week at
the latest Senator Cullom said that
Mr.. Sherman had never asked him for
any appointment, but that he had sug-
gested his name to the president at
the solicitation of some of Mr.. Sher
mans closest friends. The appoint
ment which Mr. Sherman declined
now goes to Pennsylvania. Senator
Knox made formal application for the
place, and the president promoted
Harry K. Daugherty of Pennsylvania,
at present connected with the COM
mission in the capacity of assistant
secretary, to the vacancy.

EX-JUDCE HARGIS
ACQUITTED BY JURY
VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY RE
TURNED IN NOTED KENTUCKY
FEUD MURDER CASE.
TRIED FOR MURDER
OF THOMAS COCKRill
Trial for Staying of Or. Cox to Be
Begun May 27-Second AcquittaI
for Defendant Once Tried for Mar.
cum Killing.

Lexington, KY, May 24.-Almost ex
actly three years after the shooting
of Town Marshal Thomas Cockrill al
Jackson a verdict of not guilty was
returned here Thursday in the case OF
ex-Judge James Hargis, the first OF
those who were jointly charged with
that murder, and another chapter ir
nails was concluded.
When the verdict was announced
a great cheer arose from the friends
of Hargis, who crowded the court
room, and it was necessary for Cir
cult Judge Watts Parker to rap re
peatedly for order.
Gets Fatal Shot In Courthouse.
On June 81, 1904, Cockrill was shot
in the courthouse at Jackson, dying
later at Lexington, where he was
taken for medical attention, and dur
ing the trial several witnesses swore
that Hargis, his brothers and Sheriff
Callahan had entered into a murder
conspiracy, promising immunity tc
any one who would shoot Cockrill, DR.
ID. L. SOA anu y. ID. hdTCuUl, dill IuItt
of whom have since died by shooting
The defense, however, presented testi
mony tending to disprove the con
spiracy charge and Hargis, testifying
III his own behalf, denied all connec
tion with the shooting. Curt Jett, who
confessed to killing Marcum, fol
which he was given a life sentence
was witness against Hargis.
Cox Murder Trial May 27.
Ex-Judge Hargis left in the after
noon for Sandy Hook, Elliott county.
where on next Monday, May 27, the
trial of Judge James, Senator Alex
and Elbert Hargis, Edward Callahan
John Smith and John Abner for the
murder of DR.. B. d. Cox will be called
1t is believed now that the cases OF
Alex and Ebert Hargis and Edward
Callahan, also charged with compile
ity in plots to kill Cockrill, will be
filed away in the coG4c here. The
evidence is practically the same
against the other three men, as well
as Bill Britton, who is awaiting 8
trial for this killing.
Britton gave bond Thursday morn
ing for his appearance at the next
term of court in the sum of $500
His bond was signed by James and
Alexander Hargis. Britton was not
allowed to leave the county Jail, be
ing at once rearrested for the assas
sination of DR.. Cox.
In Jail Nearly Three Years.
Britton has been twice tried for the
Cockrill murder. He was sentenced
to life Imprisonment once and the jury
disagreed here three weeks ago. Brit
ton has been in Jail here nearly three
years.
The Hargis case has been on trial
here for over two weeks. More than
0 witnesses were examined This is
he second acquittal of Hargis, he
aving been declared not guilty of the
murder of James B. Marcum at his
rial at Beattyville last July.

OPENS OIL MANDAMUS HEARING.
State of Ohio Seeks important Rulings
on Common Carriers.

Findlay, o., May 24.-Arguments
were heard Thursday before the cir
cult court in the case of the state
against the Buckeye Pipe Line com
pany in mandamus to compel the COM
pany to establish fixed schedule of
rates for transportation as common
carriers and to cease alleged unlawful
discrimination between the producers
in transportation of oil through its
lines. The Standard Oil attorneys
contend that no demand has been
made or notice served upon them. o.
E. Harrison, from the attorney gen.
erals Office, said that the law in it
self was notice, and that no formal
demand is necessary.
A case of just this character has
never been before the circuit court, it
is said, and the questions involved are
so large that a decision is looked for
ward to with great interest. The
first suit against the Standard COM
pany is set for Monday, June 10.

Columbus, o., May 24.-Rumors

ton, will bring up resolution strik-
ing out these words in the resolution

The resolutions further declare that
the church as an organization would

At the same time the resolutions
commend the Anti-Saloon league as a
in the advancement of the cause Of

Individually the Presbyterians are
at liberty to join the league and adopt
any policy they see fit in fighting the

TALKS TO BANKERS
OFFICIAL DECLARES ALDRIcH
LAW BENEFICIAL, BUT RE-
FORMS STILL NEEDED.
FAVORS A PLAN TO
EXPAND CIRCULATION
Believes National Institutions Should
Be Allowed to Issue Sc Per Cent.
of Circulating Notes-Prase for
Secretary Cortelyou.

Kansas City, May 24.-Charles H.
Treat, treasurer of the United States,
addressed the Missouri Bankers as.
sociation, meeting here in annual con.
vention Thursday morning, on Some
Comments on the Aldrich Law" Mr..
Treat said the law was of much bene.
fit, but that banking reforms still re.
main to be made. He believed our
national bank system meets the needs
of the country as whole better than
any other system in existence, and he
favored a modification of it rather
than an attempt to introduce any revo
lutionary scheme such as credit cur
rency.
Important Reforms Needed.
Mr.. Treat asserted that the Aldrich
law was of great benefit, but that i'm.
portant banking reforms remain to be
made. He said he believed that the
national banks should be allowed to
issue so per cent. of their circulating
notes on the basis of other securities
than United States bonds deposited
with the secretary of the treasury.
such notes to be retired in four, six
and eight months after September l OF
each year. This plan, he said, would
provide the expansion of circulation
that is needed every fall to move the
crops.
Mr.. Treat continued: There is
much discussion regarding the nation.

to the country if more thought were
given to the manner in which the
banking system could be modified and
perfected, rather than to attempt any
revolutionary scheme such as credit
currency | believe our present system
contains elements that can be devel.
oped to meet every reasonable exig-
ency in our business life
Praise for CorteIyou.
Referring to Secretary Cortelyou's
action in depositing government money
in the banks last March, when the
financial institution reached an acute
stage, Mr.. Treat said:
"This statesmanlike comprehension,
this broad understanding of the funda.
mental as well as the practical opera
tions of national and international
finance, at once secured for him the
confidence of bankers throughout the
world-a tribute that has probably not
been bestowed upon any other new
secretary of the treasury"
Mr. Treat said that no secretary of
the treasury had been quicker to avail
himself of all the benefits of new leg
islation and put them promptly into
action than Mr.. Cortelyou.
