DEMOCRAT Can.
DIDATES SCARED.
Accuse Beckham of Bad Faith
In HargiS Affair.
Appointment of CarneS May
+ Cause Defeat of Entire
Ticket.

CONSERVATION has seized the candi-
dates for State offices on the Demo-
cratic ticket as a result of the action
OF Gov. Beckham in appointing Judge
Carnes to try the cases against the
Hargis clan in Breathitt county and
the way Carnes disposed of the cases.
The Democratic candidates on the
State ticket are up in arms over
what they term an effort made by
Reckham to pay a political debt. They
believe that the Democratic ticket is
placed in jeopardy, by the appoint
ment of Carnes, followed by his
strange rulings, which have aroused
the people in the State.
Many of Beckham's enemies in the
Democratic party boldly declare that
he does not care rap for the State
ticket, and that he will continue to be
the friend of the Hargises no matter
what happens.
One of the candidates, a man who
is unfriendly to Beckham, advised by
many of the party leaders, is trying
10 arrange meeting of all the cam
didates to protest against the appoint
ment of Carnes and men like him to
try the Hargis cases. 1t is proposed
TO demand of Beckham that he APP
point a man of high legal attachments
and one known for his fairness and
honesty.
A prominent Democratic politician,
says that the success of the Democrat
ic ticket is far from certain. He
said that he feared that the Repub-
licans were going to get together, nom
mate strong candidate for Govern
or. put good men on the ticket with
him and wage an aggressive campaign
with Hargis as the issue.
IF they do, the Democratic ticket
is doomed almost at the beginning of
the campaign to defeat" he continu-
ed. IF the ticket is defeated Beckham
will be responsible. When he appoint
ed Carnes to try the Hargises he hurt
the ticket no little, but when Carnes
made the stupid blunder of transferr-
ing the cases to Elliott county irrepar
able damage was done.
In this connection, however, one
thing is certain. If the State ticket is
defeated Beckham will never go to
the United States Senate. The DEM
ocrats will never consent to the elect
ion of the man who caused the defeat
of their ticket. 1t matters not if the
Legislature is Democratic and Beck
ham the party nominee he will be I'M
horsed and sent down to defeat I'M
less there is some light shed on this
Breathitt county affair.
The voters have come to believe
that politics is at the back of it. They
believe that a political promise is be-
ing fulfilled. They demand the light,
and if it is not turned on the DEM
ocratic party will have to answer for

SENSATION PROMISED
COUNT WITTE REPLIES TO GEN.

ST. PETERSBURG, December 21-The
court having refused him an opportunity
to refute on the witness stand Gen. Ku-

Stoessel that before the war with Japan
Count Witte had recommended the aban-
doning of Port Arthur. considering that
the opening of Port Dalny he'd destroyed
the strategic. Importance of the fortress
Count Witts has broken his long silence
IN two-column letter to the Novoe
Vremya.
1t is an interesting disclosure of ex-
cerpts from secret documents which throw
light on the inner councils before the war,
and seeks to prove that Kuropatkin was
guilty of misleading the whole government
py an estimate OF Russia's preparedness
lor war In July, 1913, according to
Count Nitte, after a tour of inspection in
the far cast. Gen. kuropatkin, in a writ
ten report to the emperor, said:
Two yea 8 ago we thought ourselves
ready to defend the Amur region and
north Manchura. To-Day we cannot only
do that, but can be per ectly confident OF
The fate of Port Art.lur.'
Count Witta narrates that the site of
Port Dalny and the idea to create a COM
mercial port there We're suggested by Ku-
ropatkn himself as a means for restrict
ing Port Arthur to military uses and at
the same time carry out the promise to
open any acquired Chinese port to the
trade of all nations.
Count Witte multiplies instances of dis
crepancy in kuropatkin's Official acts and
the generals testimony in the Stoessel
case. He also accuses him of not having
provided sufficient siege guns at Port
Arthu-.
The controversy promises sensational

BLACK HAND OUTRAGE
ATTEMPT TO MURDER ENTIRE
FAMILY WITH DYNAMITE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 21.-Three sleep
ing girls were buried under falling plaster
and shattered glass in their room on the
ground floor off G33 1st avenue to-
day when a Black Hand miscreant at
tempted to murder an entire family with
dynamite, and imperiled the lives of more
than twenty other families, all of whom
were asleep In the five-story tenement
house.
More than a score of persons most of
them children, were cut by falling glass
and ttmbers. the lower floors of the house
and the stairs were wrecked, windows OF
other houses in the neighborhood shat
tered, and the houses for radius of two
blocks were shaken from foundation to
roof. The neighborhood was thrown into
panic.
Peter Dooley. night watchman for a
brewery. saw man emerge from the
tenement about o'clock this morning
and hurry off. Shortly afIerward .he heard
an EXPLOSION. Then came screams from
all the neighboring tenements, and a
minute later the street was filled with
an excited half-dressed crowd.
Bomb Placed Near Bed.
On the ground floor to the south of the
tenement at No 633, lives Angelo Trasi-
can't, barber. whose apartments are in
the rear of his shop. Immediately back
of the shop slept Trasicantis three
daughters-Josephine, twelve; Frances,
ten, and Jennie. six. In the next .oom
slept Trasicanti, his wife, his daughter
Annie. five, and Virginia, two. In the
next room to the rear were sleeping the
BARRIERS father-in-law, Joseph Wareno,
and his wife
1t was plain that the lives of the Ira
sicanti family were the ones sought. and,
perhaps, the three girls We're particularly
marked for death. The bomb was placed
within a foot of the head of their bed.
and when the explosion occurred the wall
separating the hall from the sleeping
room curled in and fell, covering the
sleeping children. The bed covering I'M
doubtedly saved them from serious in
jury or death.
The rear walls of the hallwa. also
caved in, falling on the sleeping occu-
pants of the other rooms. Shattered glass
also fell on the sleeping inmates on the
floor above the barber shop.
Trasicanti denied to the s,olice that he
had received any threatening letters.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. December 21-Next
Monday a conference of the Foraker lead
ers in the state will be held here. Senator

of the Lake Shipping Association of
Cleveland this evening. will come from
Cleveland to Columbus, arriving here to-
morrow evening, and will spend Monday.
and perhaps Tuesday. here. comforting
with his friends regarding the political
situation in the state.
1t will probably be the last visit of
Senator Foraker to the state before the
ruary. and for that reason his coming will
have an important bearing on the situa-
ton 1t will probably be the signal for u
general gathering of his friends in all
parts of the state here at the capital of
the state.
1t Is expected that in his speech at
Cleveland this evening Senator Foraker
will take occasion to explain his position
on the matters concerning which he has
differed with President Roosevelt, espe-
cially the rate bill. which will form a
very proper subject for discussion In such
a meeting.
1t is expected also that from this he WILL
pass to a review of the position taken
by Secretary Taft on these matters. and
his proposition to take UP at an early
date the revision Of the tariff schedules.
and make the occasion one for a general
attack upon the Secretary's position-the
first gun as 1t were. of the contest be-
tween the senator and the Secretary for
the support of the state for the republi-
can nomination for the presidency.
