.HARGIS CASE IS CHANGED
Judge Adams Comments Upon the
Remarkable circumstances
Surrounding 1t.

JACKSON, Ky, Aug. S1.-A change OF
venue was granted the commonwealth In
the Beach Hargis case by Judge Adams
today.
The court delivered a carefully prepared
opinion amid breathless silence. The evil
dence in this case" said Judge Adams
presents the most unusual state Of affairs
l " ever known to exist. The common
wealth has proved that an overwhelming
sentiment exists in the county against
the defendant, while the defendant in
reduced a number of witnesses to prove
the same fact. In the face of these condi-
tions the commonwealth insists on a
change of venue. The defendant on the
other hand is demanding a trial among the
people whom the proof shows are clamor-
ing for his conviction.
1T is proven by one witness, at least,
that efforts have been made to influence
men to qualify as Jurors and hang the
jury. No evidence is offered by the de-
PENDANT to deny this charge"

NETHERLANDS MAKES REPLY
Proceedings of Venezuela Have Been
Irregular All Through Com
ference,

LONDON. Aug. S1.-The reply of the
Netherlands government to President
CastorO' last note will. 1t is understood, be
in substance that the Dutch cruiser Colder
land did not salute the Venezuelan fla 2
upon entering La Guaira because under
International naval practice. a war vessel
does not salute a flag in a foreign port II
II had entered that port and saluted within
a year. The Gelderland had done this.
Besides, II is declared. 1t was not known
whether the forts would reply should the
Gelderland salute them, and all chance Of
further embarrassment was saved by the
cruiser keeping within the international
precedent of s%aluting once within a year.
AS for the alleged insults to the Vene-
zuelan consul at Willemstad, Island of
Curacao, the gentleman so entitled, it is
stated. was never accepted by the Neither
lands government as consul. hence he could
not officially be styled consul, and was in
Curocoa simply as a citizen of Venezuela.
The Dutch colonists at Curacao expressed
great Indignation when, following the ar
rest Of a man distributing leaflets denounc-
ing the Holland government. the man said
he was hired by the so-called Venezuelan
consul.
In conclusion, it is said the treatment of
NJ. De Reus, the Dutch minister at Caracas,
who was expelled by President Castro, was
irregular according to international
etiquette. as President Castro, instead OF
sending NJ. De Reus, his passports and ex-
polling him from the country, should have
informed the Netherlands government that
he was no longer persona grata and should
have requested his recall. The method
President Castro preferred to follow was
offensive and in violation of diplomatic
procedure.

WI TING-FANG TO RETURN
Chinese Government Embarrassed by
Attitude of It's Minister in
United States,

PEKING,. Aug. 81.-The Chinese govern
ment is considering the recall Of WI Ting.
Fang, the Chinese minister at Washing
ton, on account of recent. disclosures on
his part which are believed here to have
been indiscreet.
The government for some months pas
has been embarrassed by Mr.. Wu's plat
form and other utterances and by his at
titude as a public character in America.
LANG Tuen Yen. assistant secretay of
the Board of Foreign Affairs, is the lead
ing candidate for the position az Wash
ington in succession to WI Ting-Fang.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3l.-When Minister
WI was finally. REACHED by a reporter he
said that he had heard nothing about his
being recalled and smilingly added that he
did net care if he was. g
The only indiscteet speeches or inter-
views that | know of are some which |
never gave out. The words were put into
my mouth by other people. l understand
that in some Japanese newspapers were
stories stating that l had been indiscreet
and that l should be recalled If such was
the case" .,
Mr.. WI said there might be hundreds
Of people in Picking who want his job, but
he cannot think Of the names of any of
them at present, and he also said that he
had not solicited the appointment when
he went back to China.
During his second term of minister to
the United States, the general opinion of
his admirers and of his critics as well
has been that Mr., WI has been much more
reserved and circumspect both in his habits
and private utterances than he was dur
ing days of his previous term as minister.

HOW THE PEOPLE HAVE RULED
Continued from First Page)

Continued from First Pagc)
publican committee. In that same speech
he declared that the republicans could
have revised Tie tariff AT any time during
the last ten years. As a mere physical
possibility this Is true, for they have been
In charge of all branches OF the govern
ment during that time. But Mr.. Bryan
ought TO have known, and knowing, ought
to have said that, whatever he himself
would have done i'm the circumstances, the
republicans, as intelligent legislators, were
forced to recognize and to act upon sew
etdl important facts. The first was that
the present tariff. ten years age, was
satisfactorily adjusted to the commercial
requirements of the country. The second
taCt is that the conditions which now
underlie the present just demand for revi-
sion had not until recently evolved as
Incidents in the great economic growth Of
the country, made possible by the adoption
of the Dingley tariff. a third reason Is,
that the first requisite Of business being
a reasonable stability of fundamental or
basic conditions and the tariff being the
very foundation of business in this coun-
try, constant tinkerinE with the tariff,
after the democratic fashion, would be dis
astrous to business. Just as democratic
ftinkering with the tariff has always been
disastrous alike to manufacturers to pro-
ducers, and to consumers-in short, to the
whole people.
Another picture is a more pleasing one.
IL relates TO our country as ruled by the
republican party, 1t reveals a vista of
prosperity from the dark days when MIR.
Bryan first menaced the public welfare
to the happier days when Theodore Roosc-
welt gave a new ana a better meaning to
public integrity In that period Of twelve
years we behold our country, wisely gov
erner, expanded in area, Increased by twenty
millions Of people and forty billions Of
wealth; our credit redeemed and our rev.
enues a hundred millions in excess of ex-
~pendtures. We behold our farms. in
creased four hundred millions of acres i'm
area, more than doubled. in the value of
both the land and its, products. We be-
hold our home market the largest and the
richest I'm the world and our annual eX-
port Grown to four hundred millions In
excess of our imports. We behold the pro-
ducts of our mines increased in some in
stances SEQ per cent, and our. manufactures
doubled and tripled, and even -quadrupled.
We behold labor the best paid in the world.
We behold the decrease of intemperance,
crime and paupertsm and the correspondents
multiplication Of homes and Of savings de-
posits. We behold education advanced
and religion expanded. We behold ruthless
wealth forced by the streng arm of the
law to subserve the public veal. while on
all sides we behold industry winning its
just reward. And over II all we behold
the beneticent rule OF the people. You who
are just beginning to enjoy the birthright
vouchsafed to you by the republic, and
you veterans I'm the ranks OF citizenship,
gaze upon this picture and upon this
and then answer the question: Shall Mr..
Bryan rule or shall the people rule?
