TOWED INTO PORT WITH
THE PASSENGERS PRAYING
Russian Steamer Korea Arrives at
New York after Eneounterine
Perils Of Deep for a Month.

New York.-The Russian steamship
Korea was towed into port by two
tugs on Friday with 1900 passengers
kneelng on her. decks in a prayer
Of thanks for deiverance from perils
of the sea that had beset them for al.
most month.
With her wooden deck fitting
chopped up for fuel and part Of
her cargo burned to keep the engines
going, the Korea had fought an al.
most incessant storm
For three days the ship was help.

an in the middle of the night. AS
the vessel reeled and pitched in the
heavy trough of the sea her officers
had difficulty in restraining the 1900
Russian steerage passengers in their
wild plan of taking to the boats to
save their lives Provisions ran low
and there was a shortage of fresh
water. This condition of affairs
threatened to become worse, and Cap

CLEARED ON ONE
MURDER CHARGE
Judge James HargiS. Kentucky
FeudiSt. Found Not Guilty
of COckerill Murder.
Another Chapter in the Famous
Breathitt County Feud Annals is
Closed, the Charges Against
Other Defendants Being Filed
Away.

Lexington. Ky.-Almost exactly
three years after the shooting OF
Town Marshal Thomas Cockrill at
Jackson. a verdict of not guilty was
returned here on Thursday in the
case of Judge James Hargis, the first
of those who were jointly charged
with that murder, and another chap
ter in the famous Breathitt county
feuds annals was concluded.
On June 81, 1904, Cockrill was shot
in the court house at Jackson, dying
later at Lexington, where he was tax
en- for medical attention, and during
the trial several witnesses swore
that Judge Hargis, his brothers, and
Sheriff Ed Callahan had entered into
murder conspiracy, promising inn
munity to any one who would shoot
Cockrill, DR.. B. d. Cox and ]. b. Mar
cum, all three of whom have since
died by shooting. The defense, how.
ever. presented testimony tending to
disprove the conspiracy charge and
Judge Hargis, testifying in his own
behalf, denied all connection with the
shooting. Curt Jett, who confessed
to killing Marcum, for which he was
given a life sentence, was a witness
against Judge Hargis.
The next trial in this series will be
called at Sandy Hook, Elliott county.
when the same defendants will be
tried for the murder of DR.. Cox a:
Jackson on April IA, 1902, a change
of venue having been taken from
Beathitt county.
When the verdict was announced a
great cheer rose from the friends of
Judge Hargis, who crowded the court
room. 1t Is believed now that the
cases of Alexander and Albert Har-
gis and Edward Callahan also
charged with completely in plots to
kill Cockrill, will be filed away in the
court house. The evidence is practi.
cally the same against the other
three men. as well as against Bill
Britton. who Is awaiting third trial
for this killing.

PETTUs TIRED OF INQUIRY.
Says Senate Has No Right to Go Into
Brownsville Affair.

Washington 'Damnum Abse In
juria," said Senator Pettus of Ala.
bama at the White House Friday, in
reference to the Brownville investi-
CATION. Senator Pettus is a member
of the committee investigating the
subject. The senator continued:
The senate has no more right to
go into this business than you have.
1t can express its opinion, but as to
going into it, that is all foolishness.
The senate can do nothing with the
action of the president. II he trans
crosses the law or violates the con-
stitution, it is provided that he shall
be dealt with by the house of repre-
sentatives."
The senator said he was tired of
the whole thing, and would not con-
sent to an adjournment of the COM
mittee with view to having another
meeting.
