KENYUCKIAN SAYS
EXECUTOR DIDN'T
SETTLE WITH him

A tangled problem growing out of
the will of the late William Jones.
a former resident of Paducah. who
died several years ago at Clinton, Ia,
has been submitted to Attorneys
Eaton and Boyd, OF Paducah, by
James Jones, a we'll known farmer of
Bardwell. who. according to the pro-
visions of the will, is entitled to one
half of the estate of over $4,000.
Attorney A. f. Boyd Will leave Mon
day morning for Clinton to investi-
gate the cause why the executor did
not turn over half OF the estate to
his client. William Jones, according
to his son, left Paducah soon after
the Civil war and died several years
ago, leaving an estate valued at over
$40, 900. He left three children,
james. of Bardwell, and Rodney, liv-
ing somewhere in the west, each re
ceiving half of the estate. The third
child. daughter, received IS by the
win. The will was placed in the
hands of a Mr.. Hammond, who quail
fed as executor, but who died short
time ago without having settled with
James Jones 1t is said. According to
Mr.. Jones, his share of the estate
has been invested in valuable lands
near Vancouver. The property has
trippled in value in the last few years
and at the death of Mr.. Hammond,
the executor, his heirs put in claims
and are trying to get possession OF
the property in Washington. Mr.
Jones claims that he is entitled to the
property which, he says was pur'
chased with the money he was en-
titled to from the estate of his
father. The property in Washington
Is valued at about $4,000.

Constantinople. Via Frontier, Dec.
24.-The Young Turkish regime I'm
is getting into hotter
water every day There are dis
orders all over the country and a
general rebellion Is liable to occur
at any time. And II Is bitterly COM
planned that the severity with which
the government Is dealing with the
malcontents was never outdone in
the days of Abdul Hamid himself.
The situation in Turkey is very
peculiar. The revelation there, in
stead of being an uprising of the
masses against a small group of OPP
pressors, was an uprising by mere
handful of progress,ves against a ma
Ition which insisted upon it's right to
be oppressed. Reaetlonary out

sympathy of an overwhelming ma

Young Turks allowed them 10 attain

ST. Petersburg, Via Frontier, Dec.
I24.-(United Press)-The revolu-
tionaries who took steps recently to
work up a terrorist outbreak out of
the widespread manifestation of dis
content which followed Count Toll
toys death, have begun their cam
paign.
Workingmen adj over Russia are
presenting grievances to their en-
ployers and demanding increases i'm
wages, together with shorter hours
and better working conditions. The
movement is too general and is APP
pearing In too many places at once
to leave any doubt that there Is a
single central influence behind II.
The true explanation Is that the
|revolutionaries appreciate that they
ARE numerically too weak to act
effectively unless the working Glasses
generally corporate with them. II
is evident that they have secured
pledges OF cooperation from the
workingmen's leaders, though the
rank and file may not appreciate the
seriousness of the struggle upon
which they are entering.
Accompanying the demands made
upon each employer IL a threat of a
strike in the event OF Noncompliance
and inasmuch as IT Is certain that
|nine-tenths of the employers win dis
regard their mems demands, there is
sure to be an epidemic of walkouts.
IL is at this point that resort to
terroristic tactics is expected. The
lrevolutionists are believed to have
made all arrangements for supplying
the strikers with arms and explosives,
together with experts in their use, to
! take the lead in the work of destruc-
ton. The general impression is that
the intention Is to strike desperate
blow for the actual overthrow Of the
present government
There IS no question that the
authorities are much alarmed. Ar
rests are being made by wholesale in
st. Petersburg, Moscow Kioff,
/ Odessa and dozens of other towns.
but apparently the men who are
really wanted are keeping out of the
way with remarkable cleverness.
Apparently their policy Is to adver-
tise the revolt as widely as possible
in advance. partly as a means of ex-
citing the people, partly by way of
harrassing the police and partly for
the purpose of driving the govern
ment to repressive measures which
will anger the masses to the extent
of making them easy for the revolu-
ltionists to urge into acts of violence.
The conspiracy has thus far been
the most able engineered and
and promises to be the most formid-
able with which the Gar has ever
had OF deal. No only do the city
working classes seem likely to rise
almost TO a man. but discomfort is
also reported among the peasantry Of
the rural districts and IL the revolt
becomes serious. Finland and Poland
are sure to join ii.

New York, Dec. "a. Especial y
A somewhat better tone has been
maintained in the security markets
during the week, and this in spite
of the inactivity which usually de-
velops during the holiday season.
The main cause for betterment has
been the investment situation. This
is probably more satisfactory than
at any time for several months. The
decline in prices has brought many
securities 20 a level that now offers
more reasonable returns. Money is
easy, and the low rates obtained for
loanable funds naturally divert at
tention 10 interest-bearing securities.
For this reason the bond outlook is
much brighter and there is already
a larger inquiry for desirable issues.
The January disbursements will
be larger than usual, being esti-
mated as high as 6.00O.000; and
a fair proportion of this sum always
seeks reinvestment in Wall street.
Another encouraging feature is the
better demand for American invest
ments by European buyers. There
have been fairly liberal sales of
bonds to Europe during the last few
days, and International banking
houses report conditions as favor
able to the further placing of good
issues. Many of our best railroad
stocks are now selling at prices
which yield 8 to per cent COM
pared with 4 to per cent when
they were at the top level. On
bonds the returns are also "a to
per cent better than formerly. All
conditions point to a continued ease
lin money for some time to come. II
is possible that the year-end pay
lments may cause temporary furry
but no change of consequence IN
monetary conditions seems probable
between the middle of January
when funds return, and the first o.
April. This means a period of al
least two and half months o.
monetary quiet; indeed We may b'
facing a glut of idle money. Whether
rates will decline sufficiently to per

Business in all lines has been good
during the holidays. and today was
the climax in the purchases by
Christmas shoppers. The dealers in
all lines of trade report a satisfac-
tory trade, and the sales surpass the
trade OF last Christmas. The mer-

shopping. and the shop early" cru
SADIE and liberal advertising cam
paigns by the merchants has re-
suited in many shoppers purchasing
their gifts early in the Christmas
season.
The records of the rebate associa-
ton show that the influx of visiting
shoppers has not surpassed the rec
ord of last year. This is attributed
to the failure of a season to sell to-
bacco. The trade will come just as
soon as suitable weather for the sale
OF tobacco arrives. The mail order
business at the Iostofiice has been
the heaviest in the history of the
postoifice, and the money order de-
partment has been crowded for sew
eral weeks.
The Christmas trade has been
lively with the dealers in substan-
tial goods as well as the dealers in
novelties. The jewellers report
heavy business, While the clothiers
say they have had an unusually
heavy business in the sale of fur
nishings although the sale of heavy
goods has been a trifie slow. Fur
niture dealers report good sales in
accord with all of the other dealers.

excess OF exports for the month OF
nearly S76,0O0,000, compared with

not be forgotten, however. that the
large excess in exports was due to
the rushing forward of cotton in
anticipation of trouble over the cot

all probability, therefore, cotton ship
