shot BY HIS son
Terrible Chapter Added to the
Blood Red Book of kentucky's
feuds

Jackson, KY, Feb. Former Coun-
ty Judge James Hargis, for many years
member OF the state democratic ex-
ecutive committee. accused Of COM
plicity in many murderers and a
prominent figure in many feuds which
disrupted Breathtt county for several
years, was shot and kill by his son
Beach Hargis in his Judge Hargis)
general store yesterday afternoon. The
son fired five shots, four Of which took
effect, and Judge Hargis fell dead.
The exact cause OF the murder has
not been learned, bu; 1t is said to have
been the result of differences between
father and son, which have existed for
some time. 1t IS reported that the
two men had severe quarrel several
nights ago. when the father, it is al
legged, had to use violence to restrain
his son. Young Hargis is said to have
been drinking heavily lately and when
he entered the stVre yesterday after
noon he apparently was under the in
fluence OF liquor. Judge Hargis spoke
to him about his drinking, and this re-
suited in a quarrel and the murder.
Young Hargis was arrested, raving
like a maniac, and the officers were
compelled to drag him to Jail.
Judge Hargis ordered a special cas-
ket about a month ago, costing $1,000,
in which he will be buried.
Judge Hargis, or Jim Hargis, as
he was known over the entire noun
taip section Of eastern Kentucky. was
among the most noted figures in the
trying times and stirring deeds Of VOL
ence surrounding the election of Gov
ernOr GOebcl, for whose murder Caleb
Powers has been tried four times, Jim
Howard is in the penitentiary. Henry
Youtsey has been accused and used as
a witness against all the rest, and for

S. Taylor, contestant with VIM. Gobel
has been an exile from his state for a
number of years Through all these
trials and during the days early in the
history of the case in particular. Jim
Hargis has been identified with the
leaders in the politicO- civil fight. For
years he has been counted among the
mOuntaineers who are most ready with
their guns to end war Of words and
the Hargis family has been in the fore
front in the history OF Breathitt county
feuds for generations.

PRICES OF STOCKS SHOW UP STRONGER Erie Settlement Frees Market
 from Indecision CLOSE GENERALLY HIGHER Some Depressing Influences Are Felt From London, But They Are Not Broad Enough To Affect the
 Whole List.
CLOSE GENERALLY HIGHER

New York, April 9.-The bewilderment in which the financial world has been syroping for over a week over the Erie problem and amply explained by the dis closures over night of the extent to which the principals in the working out of the problems should be confused in their in- tention and open to the failure of the whole project. Wall street has clung to a conviction that the Fries bankers must have safeguarded their plan by measures to take care of unassentng notes, in ad- dition to the giving assurance to them selves of the assent of a sufficient num- Der of the noteholders to leavef only an important residue to be cared for. Any assumption that such precautionary measures had been neglected have been met by the assertion that a desire to force a receivership for the company would be fair inference from such a state of affairs.
 Yet the event proves that such was ex- actly the state. of affairs and the impress sion made by the knowledge of such an attitude on the part of the financial in- terest which has been accorded with greatest zeal and influence in the con- servation of affairs, was not pleasant. This impression was strongly offset by the determination with which means were rendered for the rescue of the Erie situa- tion by E. H. Hartman. That the Erie was saved from a receivership and that the advance of relief funds expressed confidence not only in the property, but Pm the financial prospect in general were the results summed up to be accepted from the episode as whole
 The effect in the stock market in the day, however, was of slow growth and was not uninterrupted. Depressing inf1u- ences were another decline in the London copper market and Reiterated assertions that a cut in prices of steel products was in contemplation. United States Steel was affected by these reports and did not share largely in the recovery in prices, in spite of the renewed assur- ances from the chairman of the board of the corporation, issued in public statement that no reductions in the pre- yailing prices of steel are contemplated. Some of the notable advances were due to special causes.
 In the New York local fractions there was evidence of the forcing to cover of a distressed short interest. The advance in Third Avenue which caused this was started by the relief of the company from part of the transfer obligations. which

April 9.4(special.) )-The market has been affected by Liverpool influence Reports from road were de- pressing the failures in the grain trade lowering prices indirectly. and while here the oversold appearance was evi- dent, the market could not withstand the adverse feeling abroad. At the decline a good demand for new crop deliveries checked the selling, and dullness followed with the trade bearish, but timid. The lack of speculation is the main reason for the easy movement of prices on foreign despondeney Traders are beginning to realize, however, that prices are low, and that a reaction is almost inevitable.
