FAMOUS FEuDIST KILLED
Judge James Hargis, of Kentucky
Shot by Son.
Wife of Victim Telegraphs From
Jackson to Louisville For an
Expensive Coffin He Bought.

Jackson, Ky.--Judge James Har.
gis, for years one of the central fig
ures in the Hargis- Cockrill feud, was
murdered in his own store by his own
son, Beacher.
Judge Hargis was shot five times.
The son, who was crazy drunk, is
only twenty-one years old. He is the
only son, the other child of Judge
Hargis being a daughter, Evelyn, who
was married only month ago to DR..
Hogg, a prosperous physician of this
town.
Beacher Hargis has been unruly
for several years and has frequently
run away from home. He was re-
Gently arrested for vagrancy in Gin
cinnati and his mother brought him
back to jackson.
Several nights before Beacher Har-
gis and his father had dispute, and
Judge Hargis restrained the boy from
doing him violence by superior
strength. About 3 O'Clock in the af-
ternoon he walked into his fathers
store and when the father upbraided
him for drinking he ran behind a
counter and getting revolver began
firing at his father. The first shot
struck Judge Hargis in the breast
just under the left nipple and he fell.
The boy then ran toward him, firing
as he approached until he had fHed
five shots.
In the store were James Brophy
and two women. Brophy grappled
with the boy after he had emptied his
revolver, and in few minutes Off
GERS arrived and he was taken to Jail,
where he is raving maniac
Besides the bullet in the breast
which made the death wound, three
bullets entered his abdomen and one
his left leg. The boy when he began
shooting threw his overcoat over his
fathers face.
Judge Hargis was County Judge
for many years, had made many
friends and was political power
The ,Cockrills, Cardwells and Mar
cuses stood in his way. Marcus, a
young attorney, headed a contest to
the election of Hargis and Ed Gala
han, which started the Hargis-Cock-
rill feud, which almost bankrupted
Hargis, and was blamed for many
killings
Judge Hargis inspected the stock
Of the National Casket Company at
Louisville, recently, and asked to be
shown the most elaborate collins the
company had in stock. Nothing
suited him. and he finally ordered
one along his own ideas, costing
$500.
The following telegram was sent to
the company:
Express to-day coffin selected by
James Hargis, as he is dead
MRS. JUDGE JAMES HARGIS."

THAW COUNTESS FREED.
Marriage With the Effeminate
Earl of Yarmouth Void.
He Made No Defense, as Defense Was
mpossibIe-Secret Hearing
Lasted Only rs Minutes.

London. Miss Alice g. Thaw's
marriage to the Earl Of Yarmouth,
which took place in Pittsburg April
II, 1908, was declared null and void
by Sir /, John Govell Baines, Presi-
dent of the Divorce Court
The decree was granted on the only
possible statutory ground in England
that except in name the Countess
has not been wife to Yarmouth
The hearing, which was held in
the strictest privacy, lasted only TWEEN
ty-flve minutes. The Countess testi-
fed briefly, the Earl was not present,
nor did he defend, although he was
represented by counsel, b. Newton
Crane. The Countess intends to drop
the title.
The rumor is false that her mar
riage was nullified because Yarmouth
is bigamist. Bigamy would not he
ground for such decree, nor would
suit based on that ground be heard
in private.
The court doors were carefully
guarded the only persons admitted
being the lawyers engaged on both
sides, two medical men who testified,
and two other witnesses. Through
the glass doors part of the brief pro-
ceedings we're visible, but not audible
in the corridor.
Rufus Isaacs, distinguished law
yer, opened her case with brief
statement. While he spoke the Coun.
tess ayerted her face. Only once did
she glance hastily at the lawyer and
once she raised a little gold smelling
bottle to her nostrils.
Then she took the witness chair.
Mr. Barnard, yet another of her law
yers, questioned her
One of the doctors was the next
witness, testifying for the Countess.
He answered, concisely, a few ques-
tions, then left the court.
Another witness was a middle
aged woman, dressed in black, and
closely yelled, who, presumably, testi-
FLED. that the Earl and Countess have
dwelt under the same roof for months
at time. This woman's testimony
lasted only three minutes, and in an
other ten minutes all the formalities
were finished.
Sir John Govell Baines, who was
been on the bench for eighteen years,
made short statement before giving
Tue decision winch trees forever the
American heiress from the unworthy
son of the Marquis of Hartford
The doors were kept locked until
the Countess and the woman who tes-
titled had departed by the Judges
private entrance.
The Earl of Yarmouth offered no
defense, and the only part his lawyer
took was to correct one statement
made by Mr. Barnard The reason
Yarmouth withdrew the defense he
had filed was because no effective de-
Tense was possible in the fsce of evil
dence the Countess could have pro-
duced if need be.

Expenses of Printing For Congress is
Called to RooseveIt's Attention.


Washington, D. C. President
Roosevelt temporarily suspended as
Public Printer Charles A. Stillings

President:
"The information you have given
me this morning is so important that
I deem it best that there should be a
written record thereof. I had al
ready begun some weeks ago an in
vestigation into the Government
Printing Office under Mr.. Stillings;
this investigation originating because
of information which reached me as
to the increased cost of printing to
the departments. I accordingly di-
rected Mr.. Havenner, of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, to in
vestigate and report upon this matter.
His report on it's face was severely
condemnatory of Mr.. Stillings. L

ANOTHER BLOW TO
ORGANIZED LABOR
Court Holds 1t Responsible For
Damage Caused by B0yCOtting.
REvERsEs A CIRCUIT DECISION
Section z of Antitrust Act Award
ing to Complainant Three Times
Amount Of Damages Sustained
by Highest Court.

by Highest Court.
Washington, D. C.-Thc Supreme
Court was unanimous in holding that
the section of the Antitrust act
awarding to complainant three
times the amount of damages sus-
tanned by combination in restraint
of interstate trade can be invoked in
the case of a boycott by organized
labor.
The case was that of D. G. Loewe
G Co., hat manufacturers, of Dam
bury, Conn, VS.. Martin Lawlor and
zoo other members of the United
Hatters' Union, of that city.
The decision of the court was an
nounced by Chief Justice Fuller, and
it reversed the holding of the Circuit
Court of Appeals.
In our opinion" Chief Justice
Fuller said, sthe combination de-
scribed in the declaration is combi-
nation in restraint of trade or COM
merce among the several States, in the
sense in which those words are used
in the act The combination charged
zdltS WlLulH Iu0 GLASS Vi lCOIl cb4Ato VI
trade aimed at compelling third par
ties and strangers involuntarily not
to engage in the course of trade ex-
cept on conditions that the combina-
ton imposes, and there is no doubt
that, to quote from the well known
work of Chief Justice Earle on trade
unions, at common law every person
has individually, and the public has
81 1o4f win - frn
that the course of trade should be
kept free from unreasonable obstruc-
ton
But the objection here is to the
Jurisdiction. 1t is said that the re-
straint alleged would operate to en-
tirely destroy the defendants bust
ness and thereby include interstate
trade as well; that physical obstruc-
ton is not alleged as contemplated,
and that defendants are not them
selves engaged in interstate trade.
We think none of the objections are
tenable, and that they are disposed
OF by previous decisions of this court.
The suit was instituted by Loewe
& Co. in the United States Circuit
Court for the District of Connecticut.
The company, alleging damages by
extent of $4,000, asked for judy
ment for $4,000 in accordance
with the terms of the Sherman act.
Not only the members of the Hatters
Union, but the American Federation
of Labor, of which the union is sub
ordinate organization, was included
in the bill.
In the complaint it was alleged
that the labor organization had un.
dertaken to compel the manufacture
ers to unionize their factory, as a
large majority of other hat factories
in the United States had been forced
to do, and it was asserted that when
they failed in this effort the union
hatters withdrew and induced other
employees to do so. This act was fol-
lowed by the declaration of boycott
against Loewe's hats wherever they
were found, and as the firm con-
trolled an extensive trade throughout
the country the boycott extended to
many States.
