of these countries have been looked upon
with much favor by many Americans.
The members of the commission. repub-
lican and democrat. have acted Thoroughly
in harmony up to the present moment.
They have endeavOred to obtain full
and exact information from the best
available sources and TO lay aside all
preconceived opinions and theories. 1t
was the desire of the commission to make
their report mine of exact information
upon monetary matters. After having
accumulated exhaustive information on
the subject they will then endeavor to
frame a measure adapted 10 the needs of
the United States. 1t does not follow
that a system which may be thoroughly
satisfactory in a country like France OF
England should be best adapted to the
United States with its great eXpanse of
territory and its enormous and increasing
business.
NO attempt will bA made to frame
measure along these lines to present at
the coming short session. 1t is probable
some recommendations will be made
to a revision of our administrative bank
ing laws: for example. a more efficient
examination of national banks. Beyond
this. nothing will be attempted.
THE work of the campaign will take
up the time of most of the members of
the commission The commission meets
again in Washington November TO- and
will continue its work until the begin
ming OF the short session in December.
We expect to devote a tlarge portion of
the year 1909 TO the completion of the
work We have begun. and we hope to
make report and recommendation as
TO needed changes in our monetary SyS-
tenn to the next long session of Congress.
The emergency currency bill passed by
the last Congress will prevent a recur-
renee of any such money panic as we
had in 1907.
Will Hold Hearings Here.
I'm our final report we hope to be able
to agree upon a system which will be
satisfactory to the bankers and people
of the United States generally. SO far
as we have been informed, the bankers
are wei, satisfied with the course the
commission has taken in endeavoring to
make thorough and exhaustive exami-
nation and report prior to making any
:ion changing our banking or
currency system Ample opportunity will
be given to the bankers and business men
OF the United States to present their
views to the commission.
The commission gave special attention
to the workings of the postal savings
banks of England a!d France The
bankers of Paris gave us one bit of in

prise to us-that is that at least S40c-

RESULT OF A RECENT QUARREL.

Jackson, KY, Feb. 6, Especial
to Courier Journal.
Former Judge James Hargis
was shot and almost instantly
killed by his son, Beech Hargis,
a few minutes before 8 O'Clock
this afternoon.
The murder was as deliberate
and cold blooded as was ever
committed. The tragedy occur
red about 2::45 o'clock this after
noon, andsswas witnessed by sew
eral ofithe clerks and a number
of customers, who were making
purchases at the time.
The news soon spread over
town, and in a quarter of an
hour the streets were filled with
the excited and horror stricken
people, who stood around in
groups discussing the awful deed.
Judge Hargis was killed with
his own pistol, a Colts forty-fve,

will end, no one knows. No
right-thinking man can endorse
such methods, and every true

but the powers that be are un-

The Adair County news., 1908-02-12

The killing OF Judge James
Hargis last Thursday, by his son,
was received throughout the
State, so far as we are able to
learn, with much regfet. Not
withstanding the fact that Mr..
Hargis has been prosecuted for
murder,:t ,:that deep down in the
convictions of the great majority
of the people he was guilty, yet
Kentuckians do not indorse or
even find IAN excuse to justify
his taking..as it happened. Had
he fallen before a common en-
emy, had he succomed to his foe
in mortal combat, the deep re-
gret would not have been so
prevalent, but to be the victim
of his own son, a wayward
youth, and without provocation,
strucks.the people generally, with
horror. At any rate, one of the
most prominent figures of that
part of....the State has passed
away. For several years he had
been involved in trouble, and
contributed largely to the unsav-
oryireputation of his section a
reflection on the fair name of the
State-but his passing from the
scene Of action at an unexpected
time, by an unexpected party,
will tend to draw the veil over
his misdeeds, and bring to light,
to public view, some of his vir-
tues. Judge Hargis, a mountain
man, ..true to a friend, unrelent-
ing to an enemy, with a master
mind,,and a powerful will made
no compromise with foe, but
characteristic of the people of
his section, he met force with
force, an eye for an eye, and a
tooth for a tooth. The wife of
the deadssman, the mother Of the
slayer,sGod pity her in her ter
rible mental agony. She has
made her mind to stand by the

was usually kept. A few min
utes before the murder, Judge
Hargis was walking around in
the store chatting pleasantly

time his son, Beech, was in a
pool room a block away down
the street playing pool,

front door of the store, where
she wasswaiting on customer,

that in a very few minutes he

on walkeds onsthrough the arch

Judge Hargis, James Brophy and
another clerk, a customer whom
Brophy was waiting on and
Beech Hargis in the drygoods de-
partment. She had scarcely
reached the other room until the
firing began.
The Others who witnessed the
shooting say that Judge Hargis
walked toward his son and said
something to him, and the boy
at once d1ewItheSpistol and COM
mencedssfring, emptying the con-
tents intoyhis fathers body. AT
ter he drew the gun and began
shooting, Judge Hargis caught
hold of him, and in an effort to
disarm him the young desperate
threw his coat over his fathers
face, and thus binding him,
pumpedsthe contents of the re-
volver into his fathers body, one
of the five shots taking effect be-

men and one in the leg.
June Jett was at the desk max
ing an entry. When he heard
the report he rushed in, reaching
the wounded man in time to
catch him just as he slid down
by. the counter to the floor.
Judge Hargis said to him in a
deathly whisper, Mercy, I am

These were the only words he
spoke. DR.. Kash arrived and di-
rected removal OF the wounded
man to his home. He expired as
they were carrying him in, less
than ten minutes after the shoot
ing.

and Grover Blanton,- who arrived
on the scene Immediately after

Hargis and took him to Jail. He
fought like a maniac on his way
and had to be taken by sheer
force.

was drunk and threatening to
start a rough house in Jackson.

DAKoTAS ARE NEARER OMAHA
Two states Brought Closer by Means
of New Night Train
Service.

North and South Dakota will be brought
nearer to Omaha by the establishment of
new night service between Omaha and
Huron, s. D., which the Northwestern
road will install Monday night. Hereto
fore the train service to the Dakota from
Omaha has not been of the best, but the
establishment of the new service with
through sleepers will put the jobbers of
Omaha in immediate touch with the buyers
Of South Dakota and also North Dakota.
A through sleeper will leave Omaha each
evening at $40. which will connect at Alton
with a train for Huron, where it will ar
rive at s o'clock the next morning. Re
turning the train will leave Huron in the
evening and arrive at Omaha at $50 the
next morning.
At Huron connections are made with
another train to Cakes, N. D., which prac-
tically puts Omaha in close touch with all
the Dakotas.
