WASHINGTON CLAIMS FARMERS
ARE ASSUMING FAVORABLE
ATTITUDE.
TAFT'S CHICAGO SPEECH
SAID TO BE RESPONSIBLE
Pepper, Of Iowa, After
Trip TO State, Declares Sentiment
Rapidly Changing-Senate May Have
Two investigations Of Members on
Hands at Once.
Especial correspondence

Washing June 23-Has Presi-
in the country, especially among the
farmers, on reciprocity? The informal
ton which is reaching Washington
from a good many sources is that it
has. President Taft has not been
fortunate in some Of his tariff speeches.
it is true, and when at Winona he sue
ceeded in stirring up hornets nest.
But the evidence as to his Chicago
speech is of a different order.
Testimony in plenty is reaching the
capitol and White House that the tide
Of sentiment for the reciprocity meas
ure is growing When the president
charged that certain of the big trusts
were trying to use the farmers to head
off reciprocity for their benefit, he
made statement which has apparent
~ wrought a large influence.
Representative Pepper, Of Iowa the
only democratic member Of the Iowa
delegation in congress, has Just return
ed from his state and bears interesting
testimony on the subject. He took
pains to find out what were the views
of the farmers on reciprocity. He says
that the farmers are unquesuonaoly
rapidly turning to the support OF reel
procity and coming to be convinced
that il is in their interest. He says,
moreover. they are becoming con-
WINGED that other Interests are trying
to use them to defeat reciprocity and
they do not like II.
or
says plainly that President Tafts Chi
cago speech had a great effect and that
it has been widely read by the western
farmers.
If the senate reaches a point where
it has two investigations of members Of
its flock under way at the same time
the situation will be without precedent
since the beginnings Of the govern
ment.
AS a matter Of fact. the senate has
been slow to start Investigations OF Its
members. But it looks now as ii II
might we'll happen that while the Lor-
inner case is still on its hands the
Stephenson case will have to be taken
up.
In the course OF the debate on the
Lormer case last session, the fact was
empha sized that for the first seventy
years Of the republic there were no
Investigations into alleged bribery IN
the elections Of senators. And IT was
much lamented that in the latter years
Of the government these cases nau
been numerous.
While in one way, the LorlIner
charges and the Stephenson charges
are calculated to bring discredit on the
senate, there is another view Of 1t. me
senate is ripe for the enactment OF
drastic corrupt practices legislation
and if this goes thru the purchase OF d
senate seat will not be easy or likely.
Two years ago. the senate would not
have listened seriously TO sweeping

Chicago Horse Market.

Chicago. June 23.-With 1927 horses
reported in the last four days, pros
poets are that several consignments
viii have to be carried over into next
week, and the outlook for any material
Improvement in the trade is decidedly
gloomy. The arrivals for the week thus
far show a decrease Of little more
than 400 head from last weeks receipts
for the same period, but they stand
nearly 500 head in excess Of arrivals
for the same time last year, and that
is the reason for the present unsatis-
factory condition of the trade. The
market had a bad opening. and it has
been getting worse every day since
Monday. Prices are lower than they
have been at any previous time this
year, but definite declines from last
weeks basis are not quoted for the
reason that the values secured during
the last four days have been so uneven
that even the best posted traders could
not discriminate between the actual
market value and that paid by buyer

Chicago, June 23.-Cooler weather

Gets the Biggest.

A special from Lexington says:
President Clarence LeBuS of the Bur.
ley Tobacco Society, and his tenant on
his farm, the old Capt. John Fl. Carter
property at Fenwick, Fayette county,
Mr.. CrittendOn Pepper, sold their to-
bacco crop of 1910 yesterday on the
loose leaf market in Lexington, one
basket Of 3S6 pounds bringing the re-
cord price Of 40 cents a pound. The
entire crop of 6 l25 pounds averaged
$20.05 hundred. The American To-
baccO Company was the purchaser Of
most of the crop.
|. 1t was one of the best crops ever Of
fered on the Lexington market. Mr..
Pepper, who raised it, is one of the
best and most expert handlers Of to-
bacco in the State and the care given
it, Of course, had great deal to do
with its price
This was Mr., LeBuS first sale on the
loose leaf market, though he was chic
fly responsible for the putting up for
sale Of pooled crop of the Burley To-
baccO Society at the local warehouses,
The price paid, 50 far as could be
learned yesterday was the highest
that ever figured in an actual transac-
tiOn on the Lexington market. One
crop Of few hundred pounds was sold
last year at AZ cents, but the transac-
tion, for some reason, was not compile
ted and the crop.was not paid for"

Home Market Wanted.

Whatever may be the ultimate solu-
ton of the tobacco question, whether
the crop be cut out, pooled or what
not, it is sincerity to be hoped that be-
fore the marketing of another crop
rolls around we will have local mark
ct. Surely Garrard county with her
more than 5000. 900 pounds of tobacco
is entitled TIC local market of some
kind.
During the recent seasonable wealth
er it was an every day occurrence to
see from ten to twenty five wagon
loads of tobacco crossing our square,
headed for Danville, or even so far as
Lexington. Surely there is some rem
edy for this, and some kind Of arran-
gements can be made to enable our
farmer to market his products at
home

Death Verdict Found By Lincoln County Jury
Against Shay Pellman Upheld By
Court Of Appeals.

The Court Of Appeals has affirmed
the decision Of the Lincoln Circuit
Court which found Shay Peilman gull
ty and fixed his punishment at death.
All that now remains to be done is for
Gov. Wilson to fix the date for Pell-
mans electrOcutiOn.
Pellman was found guilty of having
committed an assault on the little
twelve year old daughter of Mr.. Lee
Rankin. who resides near Hubble in
Lincoln county. The father of the
child was absent from home at the
time, and but for the determination of
Mr.. Thomas Rankin. an uncle of the
child, to allow the law to take its
course. the man would have met sum-
airy justice at the hands of the enraged
residents of the neighborhoOd. He
was taken TO Stanford and placed in
jail, but the following morning Sheriff
Mccarthy seeing that the people were
becoming aroused and fearing mob vi
Olence, sent the prisoner to the Lebar
on Jail for safe keeping. He waived
an examining trial and was then sent
to the Louisville Jail to await the con-
vening of the Lincoln Circuit Court.
When that court convened Judge Wal
ker deemed it advisa BILE to have a de
tachment of soldiers from Somerset to
escort the prisoner into Stanford and
remain there during his trial. 1t took
but short time to empanel a jury,
hear the testimony and render a ver-
dict Of guilty and fix his punishment
at death. The case was taken to the
court of appeals with the above result.
Pellman is now in Jail at Lexington,
but will be conveyed to the peneten-
tiary at Eddyville, there to await the
day of execution to be named by the
Governor.
Under the new law 1T is the duty of
the warden, or one Of his deputies to
electrocute condemned prisoners. Pell-
man will PRODIGY be the first prisoner
to be electrocuted under the new law
of 1910 in Kentucky.

Calico Held Without Bail.

The examining trial of John Calico
charged with having shot and killed
his cousin Irwin May at Buckeye on
the night of the 18th inst, was held be
fore county judge Ford Saturday and
after hearing the evidence of both the
Commonwealth and the defense, Judge
Ford held Calico without bail to await
the action of the grand jury. The teS
timony was somewhat conflicting, but
it seems that Calico fired once at May
and missed him, Calico claiming that
May was advancing on him with an
open knife, he claims that May con.
tinued to advance on him with drawn
knife when he fired a second shot
which took efftct in Mays head inflict-
ing wound from which he died.

The Tobacco Situation.

The tobacco growers of the county
held an impromptu meeting at the
court house on Monday. 1t was for
the purpose of securing additional
pledges and to further the interests of
the Burley Tobacco Union in their eff
fort to pledge the county to the cut
ting out of the 1911 crop. The meet
ing was presided over by chairman
Rose. Mr.. Bradley Wilson of the
campaign committee Of the BurleY TO-
bacco Union was also present Several
Jew pledges were secured and books
were placed in the hands of several ad-
ditional solicitors to assist in the work
now under way. The solicitors for
the Burley Tobacco Union who were
appointed at their recent meeting at
the court house to secure pledges are
diligently pursuing their labOrs and
will submit the result to the Union by
February goth, when it will be deter
mined whether or not the cut out will
be put into effect.
President H HI. FrOman, of Client,
KY, president of the Kentucky branch
of the American Society of Equity is
authority for the statement that In
the event of the failure of the Burley
Tobacco Union to effect the cut out
plan for the 1911 crop, then the Amer
lean Society of Equity will submit to
the growers a new pooling pledge,
which he hopes to effect compromise
and to result in harmonizing the situ-
alton.
President Froman says: 1.-THE Amer
lean Society of Equity is pledged to
the organization of the farmers for bet
ter prices on its products and whether
the Union succeeds or fails, the pool
ing proposition which shall offer for
1911 will give them chance to get
better prices"
He further states that the American
Society of Equity would do nothing
to deter the growers or to prevent
them from joining the no crop move
ment.
