TWO DEATHS IN
KENTUCKY FEUD
Ed Callahan Killed by Broth
er-in-Law, Who Is Shot by
Son of the Murdered Man

Lexington, KY, May s.
Another chapter was written in
the celebrated Breathitt County
feud yesterday, when Ed Calla-
han, who with Judge James Har-
gis, was the leader of the Har-
gis faction in the feud. Gala
han was fatally stabbed by John
Spicer, his brother-in-law, who
in turn was shot dead by Calla-
hans young son, who was sur
rendered.
The trouble arose over sepera-
ton of Callahan and his wife,
who was Spicer's sister. When
Spicer entered Callahan's store
the two became engaged in a
fight, Spicer welding knife
with a fatal effect. Young Cal
lahan then secured a revolver
and shot his uncle dead. After
wards he surrendered to the au-
thorities, claims that the shot
was fired in defense to his faith
er.
This is the second death of
this character within a few
months. Judge James Hargis
was killed in his own store by
his son.
Neither Callahan or Hargis
had been punished in the crimi-
nal courts for the killing of Cox
and Marcum.

just as we'll for Mr.. Johnson that
he has negatived the proposal of
his friends whose enthusiasm
boiled until the steam scalded
their judgment. An attempt to
turn the visit of the Governor to
the conservation congress into
political ratification would blight
all his buds of hope for the NOM
ination, it is declared.
In a dispatch sent two weeks
ago it was said that Senator
Charles A. Culberson of Texas
was in line to be the heir of Mr..
Bryan's strength in the conven-
ton at Denver in case the Ne
braskan should find it impossi le
to control two-thirds of the dele
gates for his own nomination.
This information came from close
political friends of Mr.. Bryan.
Since it was given to the public
in the Middle West t e Eastern
public has had it through the me-
dium of the New York papers.
Today the Democratic expecta-
ton seems to be that if the claims
of Mr.. Lynch, Gov. Johnson's
friend and prophet, are well
founded, and the Nebraskan shall
find that his strength, is not what
he believed it would be, the votes
ne will CONTROL will be thrown to
Mr.. Cuibertson, thereby almost
certainly securing his nomina-
ton.

Superintendent Stuart Says Record
This Year Is Three Weeks
Better Than in 1907.

Although the sessions OF the local
public schools began a week ago. the
progress of many of the pupils is said to
be hindered because of delay in furnishing
classes with necessary supplies. In many
classrooms there is congestion because
the portable school buildings are not
ready for occupancy. Until the supplies
are forthcoming and the congestion Is re-
lieved teachers declare. little satisfac-
tory work in the affected classes can be
done.
Among teachers is heard quiet criticisms
Of the school authorities for failure to
have the supplies and equipment in readi-
ness for the opening of the schools.
THE board of education has been CIV
ing out statements as to how much work
had been done to have the schools all
ready at the ringing of the bells the
first day, and in what excellent condi-
ton all the schools were for prompt
beginning of the class work. teacher

and no signs Of the erection of portable

Most of the delegates to the conference

followed in behalf of public school chill

Providence. r. l.. who has been expert
menting with an outdoor school for the
benefit of scholars suffering from tuber-
culosis.
The open-air school. which is carried
on in winter without fires, consists of an
old barn with one side knocked out SO as
to make it perfectly open to the air and
at the same time form an overhead shell
ter. There are about twenty scholars with
tubercular troubles. The school hours are
not long and there is a short recess every
three hours, while at intervals of an
hour hot soup is served to the children.
They are warmly dressed and there are
foot warmers under the desks. the only
sort of heat in the room. At intervals
of an hour also they are allowed to go
for warming up into one of the neigh
boring buildings.
The school is only an experiment, but
it has been promising enough in the re-
suits so far to warrant it's continuation
and extension. The teacher and the
scholars are all Denented Dy the 1reSn-alr
life they lead and the tubercular scholars
are kept apart from their healthy mates
without being deprived of school training
at the same time.

cation and the citizens of the District Of
Columbia believe that there are no bet
ter teachers or scholars and no better
school system than in the National CAPT.
tai But we are all eager to see it i'm
proved in every way. We are working
together to secure more and better build

But we realize that no human system is

gladly pay one-half of the public school

budget, because there is no District in
terest which has more value in their
eyes.
About one-sixth of our population is

rest of the population are personally In

Macfarlands address by George I. AL
drich. superintendent Of public schools at
Brookline, Mass. who is also member
of the state board of education and chair

opened, but that they are being issued
now as rapidly as possible. The short
age affected nearly all the schools.
In many Of the schools, too. there was
a shortage of text books. This was due
in some cases, it Is explained. to failure Of
teachers to put in acquisitions for a
sufficient number of books or to an I'M
usually large number Of pupils in Certain
classes. And as to some Of the county
Schools. thei rush Of getting the books to
buildings in the city prevented the deliv-
cry of books long distances from head
quarters.
The text books, supply situation has be-
come so serious. it was stated today. that
the school authorities will endeavor to
supply large classes with textbooks from
schools where classes are small. This re-
adjustment is expected to somewhat re-
lieve the situation.
Kindergarten teachers also maintain
that they are having much trouble in
conducting their classes because of the
lack Of kindergarten supplies. When
teachers apply for the equipment for
which they asked last May they are told
1t has not been received at headquarters.
1t is pointed out in this connection that
the acquisitions for kindergarten supplies
were filed last May and that the money
for the same became available July l.
Delay With Portable Buildings.
The delay in erecting the portable build
ings is also causing much inconvenience
in many of the schools. The contract for
the structures does not require that they
be ready before October 1. and as many of
the parts which go into the construction
have not yet been delivered at the sew
eral sites 1t is not expected they will be
ready for several weeks.
After the buildings are in shape they
must be equipped with desks. blackboards
and other schoolroOm requisites. Until
the portable structures are ready for oc-
cupany the classes for which they are
intended must rooms in the perma-
nent buildings. This means that in the
case of every portable school building at
least two classes can have only halliday
sessions for the time being.
I'm issuing the supplies of books and
other essentials to the schools this year
we were three weeks ahead of last year."
Supt. Stuart remarked today. when his
attention was called to the delay in get
ting some of the supplies to schools. of
course, there is always some trouble
where the enrolment has been larger
than was expected. We always have to
send out second acquisitions to supply
special needs, which cannot be fore
