REPORT AMBASSADOR
GRISCOM RESIGNED
DIPLOMAT IN ROME RELIN-
OUISHES PALACE
One Rumor Also Is to Effect That
Drago Palace May Have Been
Sold to United States for
Embassy

ROME, Dec. 26-The fact that the
American ambassador, Lloyd c. Girls
com, has given up the lease of Del
Drago palace, where he has made his
residence since coming to Rome, has
given rise to various reports as to the
ambassadors future.
One is to the effect that the United
States government has purchased the
palace for the use of the embassy.
Inquiry at the foreign office and
among attaches of the court, however,
indicate that it is the ambassador S
intention to retire from the diplomatic
service.
Indeed it is stated on good authority
that he has already forwarded his res
ignation, in which he declines to take
office abroad after the retirement of
President Roosevelt.
1t is understood that Mr.. Griscom
has informed King Victor Emmanuel
and the minister of foreign affairs of
his decision.
Both expressed regret, but they
agreed with him that it would be to
tarily in his prime so that he might
take an active part in the political af-
fairs of his country.
Mr. Griscom is known to be close
personal friend of the presidents elect,
and there is no doubt that the question
of his retaining his diplomatic post
under the new administration would
be of his own choice.
When questioned tonight with regard
to his reported resignation Mr.. Girls
com refused to deny the report, He
merely said he had no statement to
make on the subject.

JURY IN HARGIS
CASE DISAGREE
NINE FAVOR ACQUITTAL OF
YOUNG PATRICIDE
Story of Crime Brought Out in De-
tail-Mother Declares Husband
Taught Youth Bad
Habits

IRVINE, KY, Dec. 26.-The jury in
the case of Beach Hargis, charged with
the murder of his father, Judge James
Hargis, reported their inability to
agree this afternoon and were dis
charged. The jury stood nine for ac-
quittal and three for conviction.
Beach Hargis had been on a debauch,
it was said, few days before the muir
der of his father, and he had finally
been brought back to Jackson.
For some time the neighbors declared
that Judge Hargis had been dragging
the boy through the streets of the wild
little mountain town.
Beach entered his fathers store and
after a few words with the judge,
grappled with him.
They fell to the floor Beach on top,
and with the judges own pistol the
boy fired several shots into the body
of the PROSTATE man.
The defendants mother testified the
judge had early taught the boy bad
habits and when Beach was child
had given him whisky and buckled a
gun on his hip.
Beach is 2S years old and has always
been what in the Kentucky mountains
is termed 'feverish.
Judge Hargis was admittedly bar
on in Breathitt county, and even in
the Tenth congressional district, as was
ever medieval lords.
Had Control of County
His minions occupied al the county
offices. he was himself Democratic
committeeman and was chairman of
the district conventions.
Men rose up to question his rule and
to make personal attacks on him, and
these men suddenly were done away
with.
The Marcums, the head of which
family walked the streets of Jackson
for months with a baby in his arms to
avert his final assassination; the Cock
rills and others, disputed the scepter OF
the feudal king and paid the penalty
with their lives.
This summary and violent rule bred
the school of murderers and bad men
who gave to their country the world
known title of Bloody Breathitt.'
Such is the substance of testimony ad-
duced at the trial.
One of Judge Hargis enemies, Curtis
Jett, called by his picturesquely speak
ing neighbors as the wild dog OF
Breathitt," is serving a life sentence;
some are dead and others have fled the
state, or are living quietly since the
death of their chieftain.
Hargis had vast mineral interests in
this section, on which he lived, al
though the ostensible source of his
wealth was dry goods and general
store at Jackson, in which the killing
occurred.
A week before his death Judge Har-
gis purchased a $1,000 casket in Louis
vile.

The Stomach Does
Not Dyspepsia
Neither VIII 1t Cure 1t Because the Lack
Of Gastric Juices Prohibit
Relief

The stomach is a strong, powerful
organ, which is composed OF muscles
Of great strength. 1t is filled during
digestion with gastric juices which,
when the stomach, extending and COM
pressing the food, dissolve 1t and sep
arate the nourishment from the waste
matter. II, however, these gastric
juices are lacking, the stomach is not
capable of digesting its food because
1t has not the tools with which to
work successfully.
The gastric juices when in a perfect
state do away with all foul odors, fer
mentation and decay, reduce the food
to a disintegrated mass and the stom-
ach then presses it into the intestiness
where another form of digestion takes
place. Then the intestines take from
this mass of food all that Is nourishing
and give it to the blood. The waste
matter is thrown from the system.
II instead of nourishment the intes-
tines receive impure deposits combined
with a poisonous and imperfect gastric
juice, it can be readily seen that they
must turn such imperfect nourishment
into the blood. The blood then being
unable to give each part of the body
that which 1t requires, becomes impov-
erished and disease is spread broad
cast.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets correct
such condition at once. If the gas
trio juices are lacking and imperfect
these tablets do their work just the
same. They build up the elements in
the Juice which are lacking and remove
those elements which cause disturb
ance.
Meat, grains. fluids, vegetables and
delicacies, in fact each portion OF a
large meal have been placed in a glass
vial and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have digested them to a perfect fluid
Just as a healthy stomach would do
A large complex, hearty meal holds
no terrors for a dyspeptic IL Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets are used Abnormal

Roberts insisted that Miss Noreen had
agreed to marry him, and her refusal
to do so was assigned by him as the

NOTED BROKERS'
FIRM INSOLVENT
HENRY w. POOR, WEALTHY
FINANCIER, FAILS
Five Million Dollars Estimated as
Liabilities of Big Concern Which
Goes to the Wall With a
Sudden Crash

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Henry W
Poor. well known banker and broker
of Wall street, and for years the pub
Usher of Poor's Manual of Railroads,
failed today.
His banking and brokerage firm,
known as II. w. Poor & Co, with
offices at 33 wall street, made an as
signment to Mark l.. Cox of the firm of
Robert L. winthrop & Co., without
preference.
No financial statement was forth
coming, but as Mr.. Poor has been
prominent in the street and has had
influential connections, it is believed
his liabilities will reach $4,000, 900.
The entire failure is borne by Mr..
Poor, his former partners having with
drawn from the firm. The former part
p, Franklin w Hunt, Fred w. Cush-
man and Frederick Farrar.
The failure is one of the largest in
the financial district in some time. Mr..
Poor was looked upon not only as a
very wealthy man, but his family has
long held a high social position.
Has Two Fine Mansions
He has two magnificent homes. one
the old Cyrus w. Fields mansion, 1C
Lexington avenue, and the other a
stone chateau at Tuxedo, which have
been gathering places of the fashion
able for years. AS the stock exchange
was closed today the announcement OF
the failure could not reflect in market
conditions.
An effort was made by the lawyers
for several of the large creditors to
present a bankrupt petition to fed
eral judge, but none could be founo
sitting.
rim q
certain large creditors, authorize the
statement that there are no preferences
beyond such as the statute gives to
employees, adding:
"A superficial examination justifles
the belief that if the creditors, who are
few in number, will cooperate In en-
abling the assignee to effect a favor
able liquidation of the assets, large
sum will be raised for their benefit.
Assured of Assistance
written assurance of important
financial assistance to such creditors
as will cooperate to that end has been
given"
Poor are given significance since the
failure.
It is recalled that six weeks ago Mr.
Poor began the sale of his magnth-
cent library, which he had been thirty
years in collecting and which was re-
garded as one of the best in the coun-
try.
Five thousand works were included,
and the purchasers include j. p. Nor
gan, Mrs John D. Rockefeller, Senator
Henry c. Lodge and George Howard
Gould.
Another development was the bring
ing of suit by Howard Willets of
Westchester against Henry w. Poor &
Co. for more than 100000 on account
of deal in railroad bonds into which
Mr.. Willets says he went because of
the advice which he received from Mr..
Poor. The suit is still pending.
The transactions of the H. w. Poor
concern, 1t is said, were on an extern
sive scale, including big syndicate op-
erations
Mr.. Poor's connection with Poor's
Manual of Railroads has been that of
president and director. He also was
president and director of the Postal
Telegraph company of Texas.
