u. S. Steel Drop to Its
Lowest Price Features
Day ON Stock Exchange

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-A further
decline in the common shares Of the
U. S. Steel corporation to 48, the mini
mum price established by the ex.
change authorities, was the feature
of today's stock market. The entire
active list fell back to the lowest
level recorded since open dealings in
all stocks were resumed on Tuesday
of last week.
Taking today's low range as a
basis, prominent stocks are down 4
to points from their recent high
prices. AS steel cannot be sold un-
der 48, according to the present rules
of the exchange, 1t Is believed that
the minimum in this and other stocks
will have to be revised downward

They are never satisfied. Candy
should be taken away from all chill

in the world when candies are abol-

Nuts and fresh fruits, Dr. Wiley
said. are fine for children, and when
ever they want something on Christ
mas they should be given these in
stead of candy.
Candy is good for football players
or anyone else who exercises a great
deal, but not for children. My boy is
two and one-half years old and he
has never tasted candy, cake or Ice
cream. And, besides, he never wants
it. When he goes to a party he puts

TRAGEDY AT FRANKFORT

One life snuffed out, another
hanging by a thread while a third
is lingering close to death, is the
tale of saloon brawl at the Capital
Cafe, operated by o. N. Smith, in
which Deputy Sheriff r. L. Kirk
shot and fatally wounded Collins
Wright, sent a bullet crashing
through the right shoulder of his
father Charles Wright and in turn
was mercilessly slashed by Henry
Wright another son of Charles. The
latter is dying at the Kings Daugh-
ters' Hospital and Kinks condition
is declared critical.
Coming as it did while the Christ
mas revelry was just beginning short
ly after 6 o'clock Thursday night the
tragedy was the sole topic of con-
versation on the streets, the
prominence of the men concerned
adding to the shock caused by the
trouble.
An old grudge, declared due to
political factionalism in the neigh
borhood of Bridgeport, where all of
the parties had lived for many years,
is said to have caused the trouble.

PARDON FOR
H. E. YOUTSEY
Is Opposed by Justus GoebeI Who
Says He Spent Fortune to
See Justice Done.

81 wrote letter to the warden
of the Reformatory at Frankfort
asking for an explanation of state
ments in communication from
Henry Youtsey to me-" said Justus
Goebel, brother of the late Gov
William Goebel Monday.
Youtsey appealed to Justus GoebeI
to aid him in obtaining "a pardon
GOebel said:
81 am opposed to a pardon for
him. The man is guilty of killing
my brother and should serve his
sentence 1t would be shame to
grant him freedom. Some of the
statements made in his letter are.
not true. He tells me | did not
prosecute him. That is not true. L
spent 100000 of my personal for
tune to have justice DONE"
Youtsey's letter to Justus Goebel,
in which he makes "a personal ap-
peal that Mr.. Goebel aid in securing
his pardon, follows
frankfort, KY, Dec. II, 1914.-
Mr.. Justus Goebel, care of Lowry &
Goebel, Cincinnati, O.-Dear Sir:
The most loyal friends of William
Goebel could not regret his assassi-
nation more keenly than l do, and
shall always do, and tell you truly
that | never felt the least malice
or hatred against him, or cursed
him, as some have been wicked
enough to do, and l hope you will
believe me when | tell you that the
day before the tragedy / tried to
save his life.
81 was making preparations to
leave Frankfort and take a position
in the civil service, in the event the
Taylor crowd lost out, and with
that in mind, on October 2, 1899, q
few days before the Taylor Goebel
election, took the civil service ex-
animation at Danville, KY, and
could easily have obtained as good
or a better position than the one ]
had, as the service was very short
on stenographers at that time.
81 have been in prison for almost
fifteen years, and, inasmuch as
was the victim of improper in
huences and you did not prosecute
me, | hope you will forgive me for
my connection with the case and
consent to my pardon"
Hoping to hear favorably from
you, am, most respectfully,
(Signed) "H. f. YOutsey."
