Judge NUNS Friends Control
the Meeting lat Princeton
and Practically Eliminate
All Opposition.

Princeton, Aug. 1S.-The Demo
cratic committee Of the first appel
ate district, which convened here
yesterday, called a primary for the
second day OF the coming November
to nominate a candidate for the
Office of judge Of the court of appeals
to succeed Judge T. ]. Mum, OF
Hopkins county. Judge Num- s
term will expire the rrst OF January,
1911. and the tenure of the Office is
eight years. Friends of Judge Reed,
Of Paducah, who is a prospective
candidate, attended the meeting with
the object of asking for a later date
than November, but got little IL any
satisfaction, as the plan for an early
primary seemed too well laid out.
They accused Judge Num- OF having
made a gumshoe campaign for sew
.eral months among the committee
men with the snap primary plan in
view. The meeting was character
lied by considerable bitterness on
the part of those who claimed they
were thrown down, and II is said a
personal encounter was narrowly
averted on the floor.

almost every organ OF the body becomes
affected, the nervous system is broken
down, the digestion 10 weakened and
symptoms of kidney trouble develop.
Women who become pale and lose
weight and ambition and are subject to
headaches and fsinting spells, need such
a tonic as DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
They are especially adapted for girls
and women Of all ages and give just the
aid required to bring back health and
strength to the nervous and exhausted.
Mrs. L. A. Warmer. Of Litchfield.
Mich, says: II was sick for about q
year and every woman OF my age will
recognize the symptoms. My stomach
would not retain food, but filed upwith
gas, causing me to vomit. My kidneys

Warships on Pacific

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-PresideEt
Roosevelt talked cautiously today with
his congressional visitors about the
Jaranese-C California situation. He said
he thought nothing before congress
now is OF half the Importance as this
serious problem. The president talked
with great elaboration and care. rec.
osnizing as he went along, the exist
ence OF a deeply laid and antagonistic
sentiment to the japanese on the
coast. 1t is hoped by the president
that this sentiment can be placated so
as TO end the serious agitation
The president sent for Senator
Flint OF California, and talked with
Him for some dine, impressing upon
the senator the necessity OF Callfor
MAS congressional representation
using it's influence in allaying existing
antagonism so far as Il is likely to
shape in laws that may be resented by
Japan Senator Flint, like other CON
gressmen, thinks that the question
rests entirely with the people Of Cali
iornia themselves.
The inference gathered at the White
House is that the figures given in re.
gard 70 the Immigration and omigrd-
ton OF the japanese are correct. The
people OF the coast are moi doubling
according to representative from
California who called AT the White
House. that the figures that are given
out from the department OF commerce
and labor are correct, but cannot ac-
count for the fact that hundreds OF
japanese are getting into this country
by other ways and are crowding the
whites hard in California
Senator Perkins, OF California, said
today.
u do not think there Is any imme-
diate danger of conflict between the
United States and Japan. or any other
country. | also believe that the pres
.cnt irritation ia relation TO Japanese
immigration into the United States

 Officer Reynolds, 1t will be recalled, shot and killed John Mclean in the furniture store of the latter at 404 South Twen- tieth street Tuesday morning.

Mclean is said to have de- nied the charge that he stated that Key holds was ',scab and ex-convict," and when he declined to come to town on account of the matter of leaving his business the policeman shot and killed him.
