LUXURIES BEING CUT OUT
Imports Into the United States From
Germany Show Heavy Decrease .
in Past Few Months.

Berlin, Feb. 6.-The exports to the
United States invoiced by Alexander
H. Thackara, the American consul gen
eral, since the beginning of the finan-
cial disturbance in America, are from
20 to 40 per cent less each month when
compared with the corresponding month
of the preceding year. In December,
1907. they amounted to SS49. 1873, as COM
pared with SLOT. 479 in December of
1906. For January, 1908, the figures are
Ss13.sS6. as compared with sl,265,S54 for
January, 1907 For the three months
ending Jan. 81. the exports tOtaled 81
S54. S42. as against $685., 551 for the cor
responding period year ago. These
statements are roughly paralleled by the
reports from the American cOnsulates in
the German provinces. From them 1t is
obvious that America is buying fewer
articles of luxury in Germany. De-
creases are shown in almost every line,
particularly embroideries, dress goods,
gloves. laces, metal ware and leather
goods. only picture postal cards, of
which millions are shipped to the Unit
ed States, maintain their quality.

and Southern Pacific Detailed
in December Statement.

New York, Feb. 6.-The Union Paci-
fic and Southern Pacific statements for

ceipts for the last six months were

ass for the last six months. as COM
pared with s19,072, 6SS for the previous
year.
Officials of the Hartman system said
that the increased, expense was ac-
counted for partly by the reconstruc-
ton of the roadbed in a, number of
western states, where there were I'M
usually heavy floods early in 1907.

RESORT TO TECHAICALITIES
Abraham Ruef Doesn't Propose to
Be Tried for Bribery If He
Can Avoid II.

San Francisco. Feb. abraham Ruef.
through his attorneys. today made the
first move in what promises to be a long
technical battle to prevent his trial on
the charge of bribery
When brought before Superior Judge
Lawlor today for the purpose of having
a day set for his trial on the indictment
charging him with having bribed former
Supervisor Jennings Phillips in the pas
skge of an overhead trolley franchise.
Ruef set up the claim that he had never
been lawfully aTraigned- He claimed that
when he was aTraigned with the other
defendants in the trOlley>cases last May
the copy Of the Indictment handed to him
at that time omitted TO state that he had
bribed the supervisors with intent to
corrupt them" as contained in the orig
inal Indictment. and that hence he had
had not been served with a true copy as
required by law.
Upon request of the prosecuting attor-
ney Judge Lawlor continued the matter
until tomorrow afternoon. Should the
court sustain the contention of Ruef it
would not only nullify all arrangements
and pleas of Ruef. but would similarly
affect all the other defendants.

use of fifty acres of the park for ex-
detrimental purposes. Unless the police

Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, Feb. 6.-Senator Hey
burn today reintroduced his resolution
calling upon the president to make an
investigation and report to the senate
as to all matters connected with reor-
ganization of the Northern Pacific rail-
road property to ascertain what title
and estate in said railroad, telegraph
line and land grant is held or owned
by the corporation created by congress
by the act of July 2 1864, and If said
federal corporation has no title or es-
tate in any property then to ascertain
and report what reason, if any, exists
why the charter should not be repealed
by congress.
In a preamble to his resolution, Mr..
Hepburn says the Northern Pacific re-
ceived a grant of more than 100000 600
acres of public lands. Since receiving
the grant the company has been twice
reOrganized, once in 1875 and again IN
1896 The last reorganization was eff
fected by fraudulent conspiracy against

results in a fraud upon the government
of the United States by wrongfully
making ii appear that the ownership
of the Northern Pacific railroad is no
longer vested in the corporation of con-
gTessional creation. over which con-
gress is possessed of direct and imme-
diate legislative power.
1t further appears that the present
corporation, in litigation against it in
stituted by the United States govern
ment has undertaken to defend against
the enforcement of the law relative to
the exercise of franchises by railroad
companies subsidized by the United
States, and has averred that il is not
subject to the provisions of said act
because il never received any subsidy
from the United States, and because it
is not engaged in operating its railroad
under any franchise derived from the
government of the United States. IT
operates a railroad under the laws of
Wisconsin, under which II was incorpor
ated. and the laws of several states in
which the railroad is situated.

COMPETITION MAY RESULT
Western Pacific Railroad Negotiat-
ing for Service of United States
Express Company.

San Francisco, Feb. 6.-The Bulletin
says that negotiations which may re-
suit in another national express COM
pany entering the western field are now
being conducted with the Western Pa
cif1c Railroad company. The United

Special Legislation.

Indianapolis, Feb. e.-John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers,
when asked today in regard to the ru-
mors to the effect that there had been
inaugurated during the recent Mine
Workers convention a movement to
indorse the candidacy of certain aspir-
ants for the presidency of the United
States and for other political offices,
stated that so far as he knew there
was no foundation for these ,rumors.
He said. however. that the members of
the Miners union, together with all
trade unions affiliated with the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor were inter
ested actively in the election to all ex-
ecutive, judicial and administrative Of
fees of men who were known to be
sympathetic to the reasonable demands
of the wage earners of the country.
1T follows, therefore" said Mr.
Mitchell. that they would oppose the
candidacy of aspirants for political
honors who are known to be unsym-
pathetic or antagonistic to the labor
movement.

Judge HargiS, BIoOdthlrsty
Kentucky MOuntaineer,
Finally Killed.
MURDERER IN JAIL, MANIAC
TRAGEDY OCCURRED IN VIC
TINS STORE.

Jackson. KY, Feb. 6.-Former Coun-
ty Judge Hargis, for many years a
member of the state Democratic exec
utive committee, accused of completely
in many murders and a prominent fig
ure in the feuds which have disrupted
Breathitt county for Several years, was
shot and killed in his general store here
this afternoon by his son, Beach Har-
gis. The son fired five shots in rapid
succession at his father, who fell dead
while his clerks We're waiting on Gus
toners. The exact cause of the murder
has not been learned, but is supposed
to have been the result or differences
which have existed between father and
son for some time. The two men are
reported to have had a quarrel several
nights ago, when the father, it is al
legged. was compelled to resort to VIC
lence to restrain his son.
Young Man Had Been Drinking.
Young Hargis. it is said, has been
drinking heavily of late. He came into
the store late this afternoon and was
apparently under the influence of Ii
quor. Judge Hargis, it is said, spoke
to his son about his drinking and
quarrel resulted. Father and son
stepped behind a counter in the store,
when the son, after only a few min
utes' conversation drew a revolver and
fired five shots. Four took effect, the
noted mountain character falling dead
The young lady stenOgrapher and the
customers in the store rushed for the
doors and fed in fright
Young Hargis was arrested and
placed in jail. He was raving like a
maniac, and the officers were compelled
to drag him to jail.
Bought His Own Coffin.
Judge Hargis will be buried in a cas-
ket which he himself purchased about a
month ago. Some time during the early
! part of last month Judge Hargis went
| to the National Casket company, Louis
vile, and requested that he be shown
| the most elaborate collins the company
/ had in stock. Nothing suited him, and
he finally ordered one along his own
| ideas. costing $1,000.
This afternoon the following telegram
was sent to the company.
Express today casket selected by
James Hargis, as he is dead. Mrs.
/ Judge James Hargis."

Matter of Self Protection.

This activity on the part of the or
ganized and to a less extent on the
part Of the unorganized workers of our
country, is not a partisan movement.
I think there is little possibility of the
labor organiza tons entering the po-
liticsl field from a party standpoint.
In common with other citizens, the
working men seek the general welfare
of our country and at the same time
they ask such special legislation as is
necessary for the protection of their
own lives and the preservation of their
own health, so far as these ends may
be secured by legislative enactment In
other words, the labQring men believe
that officers of the law. whether they
be high or whether they be low, should
be especially solicitous for the welfare
of the members of the society who are
least able to serve themselves"
