FRIGHTENS HARGIS CROWD John Smith Makes Con
 fession. HE coRRoBoRATEs sPIcER Was Paid to Aid in Killing Dr..
 Cox. Many of staunch Friends of Breathitt County Boss Are Turning Away From Hfm-Declares Con-
 fessfon Lie.

Lexington, Ky, Jan. 11--JudEe James Hargis and his supporters are stupe- lied today as the result of John Smiths confession that he helped assassinate Dr. Cox at the order of Judge Hargis and Sheriff Ed Callahan.
 e Smiths confession bears out in ev- cry detail the story told by Asbury Epicer, who also swore he was employed to kill Cox by Hargis and Callahan. His confession was made last June. Hargis swears that Smith is lying.
 Some of Hargis' most staunch sup porters are turning on him since the Smith confession Smith fears for his life and Is begging for protection against the wrath of Hargis and Call lahan. The situation is acute. Har- gis remains closely in his store. State Inspector Hines has just arrived here from Jackson and says the situation does not warrant sending troops to Jackson and he will recommend to Governor Beckham that no one be sent
 Adjutant General Lawrence left Jackson this morning for Frankfort to make hisl report to Governor Beckham. General Lawrence refused to discuss the pature of the various conferences he held or to express an opinion as to the \ situation. 1t is we'll known that the representative of the Commonwealth, went over the entire case with the Ad- 5utant General and told him the state of feeling that existed on the part of anti-Hargis faction was due to the rui~ Jug of the court.
 General Lawrence wanted to know of them if it was not in their power to prevent trouble. and they told hip they had succeeded in quelling the dis turbance on Wednesday, when things looked so serious. but they frankly told him they did not believe even a company of soldiers could have pre- vented riot had Judge Carnes pro- coeded with the trial.
 Judge Carnes convened court this morning and made the announcement that the Court of Appeals had issued 6 writ of prohibition restraining him from further action in the case. and adjourned court until next Friday.
 He a1soA@aassea SA@ eases of Eibert fiargiss Bi1l Britton. John Abner and John Smith until the same date Judge Carnes said he did not know what final action the Apellate Court would take but that he would return to Jackson Friday and make some orders in the cases.
 Attorney c. H. Pollard was the only one of the defense attorneys in the court this morning and neither Hargis nor his supporters were present. The tipstaff of the Court of Appeals arrived at noon and served the writ on Judge Carnes and the court and attorneys left Jackson this afternoon for their homes.

SMITH CONFESSION.
Was Employed By Hargis to sIay pr.
 Cox.

COXs
 Louisville. Ky, Jan. 11.-A special from Uackson, Ky, says:
 John Smith, who is one of the men under indictment for the murder of Dr. B. D. Cox, has made a confession which is in the hands of Attorney Jouett, for the commonwealth.
 In this confession, Smith names James Hargis and Ed Callahan as nov ing spirits in the crime. He says Har- gis and Callahan induced him to enter the conspiracy against Dr. Cox, mak- ing promises to see that he. was ac- quilted and to give him a job. He tells of the murder in detail, and says Ed Callahan gave him $100 after the killing, saying Jim Hargis sent 1t to him.
 According to the confession, three men shot Dr. Cox. Smiths words, in describing the murder. are:
 ''So Judge and Ed put us three, Spicer, Abner and myself. under the barn shed and sent Ebert Hargis to stand on the corner and when Dr. Cox left his office and started home and got opposite to where we were in hiding. Ebert Hargis was to call to him so we would know 1t was Dr. Cox.
 We stayed under the shed about one hour, and while were were there Ed Callahan came to us and stayed with us until just about twenty minutes be- fore Dr. Cox was killed, and he told us to be sure and not miss him. And when Dr. Cox did start from his office and came down just across the street from us. Ebert Hargis called to him and said: Is that you, Doc and he said yes, and stopped. and all three of us fired at the same time, or so near the same, that it was all one report"

CAHNEGIE's PLAN.
Favors the Aggressive Tax On All
 Swollen Fortun14

[
 London, Jan. 11.--An artit1e by An drew Carnegie in The Review of Re. views regarding great fortdlnes, is at tracting attention. In 1t, 1Ir Carnegie expresses the belief that fnillionaire ought to share his wealth with the poor. but with the lirnitation that his fortune should not be divided before the miilionaire's death. Then the com munfty should exact q large share.
 Further discussing the aiarmingly unequal distribution of wealth arising from the new industrial conditions of our day, MT. Carnegie says:
 We shall ultimately have to consider the adoption of some such scheme as aggressive tax on all fortunate beyond certain amount, either given in life or bequeathed at death, so that it will be impossible for the owners of enor- nous fortunes to hand more than a certain amount to any individual"
 In the coming day, Mir. CarneEie says, brains will stand above doilars. and conduct above both The making of money as an aim, will then be rated as an ignoble ambition.

 New York, Jan. 11.-The recent com plaints of local brokerage houses that little interest was taken by the public in cotton speculation during the last seasons cotton trading and that a large proportion of their accustomed business had been lost seems to have been borne out by statement by one of the largest brokerage firms since the books have been balanced prepare tory to the new year.
 This shows that trade fell of with that particular house from an average of $3s.000 monthly last year to less than s5.000 monthly this past season The bulk of the trading which comes to New York. is from out of town con nections mainly in the South.
 Decline in profits and poor prospects for the near future have led at least four important cotton houses here tn abandon their Southern wire service, Another firm has cut its service in half.

Hawsers Were Parted From Ship In
 Heavy Cafe.


 Hamilton, Bermuda, Jan. 11.-At 4 o'clock in the afternoon of December 30. the tail end of the shaft of the Ponce broke and she drifted at the mercy of the wind current until the night of January [. when she was sighted by the German steamer Eliz- abeth Rickmers, Captain Walsen, from Philadelphia for Japan.
 At 6:30 D. m. the Ponce sent up a rocket and a few minutes later the headed for the disabled steamer. The Rickmers reached the Ponce at D.. m., but as the night was dark and the weather stormy, Captain Walsen decided to stand by the Ponce until daylight. At 9 o'clock in the morning of January 8 the Rickmers got two hawsers on board the Ponce and soon afterwards began to tow her towards Bermuda.
 The two steamers were then $40 miles from Bermuda. The tow proved to be a heavy strain. During the night of the 9th both hawsers parted in a heavy gale and the Rickmers hove to the rest of the night. The morning of the tenth, the German steamer sent two new lines on board the Ponce. which were got ready and both ves- sels anchored off Bermuda at Il o'clock this morning.
 Barring the discomfort and anxiety, the passengers suffered no inconven- fence, the food supplies being ample. All the passengers express themselves as being grateful for the kindness and solicitude of the officers of the Ponce.
