q - .
Lisbon, Feb. The secret and
sudden flight OF Senior Franco, form
er premier, from Lisbon across the
frontier into Spain, accompanied by
5hds wife and son, was caused BY the
threats Of death made against him.
Since the murder Of the king, Franco
has been in receipt Of many letters,
all threatening vengeance.
Two OF Frances ministers also
have disappeared. Senior Carvalho,
~ Is said. fearing reprisa1s after the
murders. hid himself In the garrets

saw an opportunity to flee from the
city, while DR.. Abren, former minis

trouble and others will be released
today. Thirteen persons arrested al

History Of Feud.
jackson, KY, Feb. F,ormer
County Judge Hargis, for many years
member Of the state democratic ex-
ecutive committee, accused Of COM
plicity in many murders and a, prom
inent figure in the fueds that have
disrupted Breathitt county, was shot
and instantly killed in his general
store here yesterday afternoon by his
son, Beach Hargis. The son fired FIVE
shots in rapid success at his father,
who fell dead while his clerks were
waiting on customers. The exact
cause Of the murder has not been
learned, but it is supposed to have
been the result of differences be-
tween father and son that have ex-
listed for some time. The two men
are reported to have had severe
quarrel several nights ago, when the
father, it is alleged, was compelled
to resort to violence to restrain his
son.
Young Hargis, 1t is said, has been
drinking heavily Of late. He entered
the store late yesterday afternoon
and was apparently under the infiu-
ence Of liqnor. Judge Hargis, 1t Is
said, spoke to his son about his
drinking and "a quarrel resulted. The
Gather and son stepped behind the
counter dn the store, when the son.
after only a few minutes converse
tion, drew revolver and lred flve
shots. Four took effect, the noted
mountain character falling dead.
Young Hargis was arrested and plac-
ed in Jail. He was raying like a
maniac.
Judge Hargis has been for years a
prominent figure in Kentucky in. po-
litical and criminal circles. He hag
figured in courts in the mountains
for years on account Of the murders
3 of DR.. Cox, Attorney Marcum, and
Jim Cockrill. Judge Hargis was a
political leader Of the democrats Of
the Tenth district and was the
boss" of Breathitt county. For
years his sway was not opposed but
some years ago Mr.. Marcum had the
temerity to oppose Hargds In law
case. From that date Marcum was
marked man. Hargis had been on
trial at various times for completely
& iIi the murder Of James B. Marcum,
Jim Coc;yriN and DR.. Cox, but had
secured an acquitta1 on all charg-
es. He was recently forced to pay
a Judgment Of $4,000 to Mr.. Marcum
In connection with the death OF heT
husband, the verdict having been
found against him In the circuit
court at Winchester Judge Hargis
had Just disposed OF this last OF the
numerous cases in which he had been
involved by his connection with the

THE CURRENCY

There IS one thing upon which most men are agreed namely, thn, they al ways want money, and plenty of 1t. This IS about the only common ground. however, upon which men rub elbows with respect tO the currency question. IT an increase in the amour; of money in the world did not produce readjust ments in the relative purchasing power of money, 1t might be good suppes. ton to urge the manufacture of greater and greater outputs of the fundamen. tal standards of currency every year and change the standards so as to make the more common metals do the work that the very rarity nf the SO. called royal metals cannot accomplish Aluminium metals are quite attractive and readily portable, so that we might adopt this substance as a standard and make our dollar pieces out of it as n basis. It IS certain that, if all the nations would accept aluminium as the standard and agree to fixed price the renewed supplies of the "stand ard would he great enough to satisfy all the demands of ''progress.
 Strange to say. the increases in the gold supply do not satisfy the clamor for more currency On the contrary. the accommodating stocks of yellow metal are sometimes blamed for the conditions under which more yellow metal is required. In simple phrase, it IS too much gold that makes us want more.
 some folks perceive the contradic. ton and, therefore, argue for an in. crease in the credit capacity of our business, as foundation for more cur. rency. Followers arc found for the suggestion that we virtually monetize stock and bond assets by making them

ON THE VERGE OF REVIVAL.

Indications point to substantial mining revival during the present year. The curtailmcnt of operations, the re. siriction of production, the general r6. trcnchment and the slump in meta prices that marked the year 1907, will it is conceded hy close observers of conditions, be followed by e year of recovery, that will result in complete reinstatement of normal conditions. It is logical Co assume that the position rcacHcd by mining stocks is such as to make movements, other than forward rather unlikely
 X conservative New York capitalist recently stated that the sharp revival in the market, which had been notice. able since the first of the year, will probably be followed by reaction and that within few weeks, a decline will take place, which, however, will in turn be followed by the market as. suming n stable position, with prices well advanced and maintained. This same capitalist points out that the op- portunity for investment is now a splendid one, tna. at no time for many many months has there been chance to secure the issues of dividend paying propositions at prices so low. The big stocks that have been the market lead. CTS and have made such handsome re. turns on the original investment, and which, moreover, promise to continue in the same manner for some time to come, have commanded ridiculously low price, induced by the depression and the cutting of dividends.
 But this is not all The revival is not to be confined to tho markets or to the strengthening of certain stocks, but capital, recognizing the opportuni. ties open in the mining field, is going to turn its attention more intensely to-. ward the development of new mines. Those who follow the markets closely are confident of n quick return of bet. ter metal prices and demand that will insure steady. firm market for larger production than the assured ore supplies at present will be able to full fill

 Experience fails to show that o1y amount or kind of basic money ore. vents the periodical indations of credit which wrcak vengeance upon thc pco' plc, so why should we mate a bnsic money out of stockg, bonds and busi' ness, supplemented by government guarantees, when these are subject to far greater likelihood of ovcr.pro- duction than either gold or silver! lt credit money is desired and the remedy for imitation is taxation, why should not the remedy for credit inllatiOns at all times he found in some form of taxation? Gold may well be the ulti- mate foundation of all credit, properly regulated, but if there is not gold enough, let silver supplement it.. Stocks and bonds cannot adequately supplant inc monetary qualities which reside in such reserves. and the credit structure which gold alone, or gold and silver, can support will bc in every way more intclligcntly measured than such structure based upon the un certain monetary qualities of business or paper securities.
 The point here urged is that credit generally, necessary as 1t is, is the shifting substance of our monetary systems which periodically disturbs them. IT it K possible to subject all credit to an automatic system of taxa. ton or other means of regulation, in that domain will be found the solution of the problem of elastic currency Denver Mining Record.
