Different Store" Olds, Woftman & King Fifth and Washington Kentucky People on Suspense Over Murder Trial, FEUDISTS NOT AWED BY TROOPS 4 I , : m Bouea of "Witnesses Are Almost Sure to Be Burned it They Do Xot .Distort Their Testimony to Favor Alleged Assasslas. JACKSON. Ky.. June 15. Interest In the trial of Curtis Jett and Thomas "White lor the alleged murder of J. B. Marcum was secondary today to the preliminary hearing of the teamsters of Hargis Bros., arrested by the soldiers on the charge of burning the hotel yesterday morning of B. It. Ewen, the principal witness of the commonwealth against Jett and "White. Many people spent a sleepless night, ex pecting the torch to be applied to their houses next. Fourteen residences and stores, owned by those known as Card-well-Cockerill sympathizers have been burned In Jackson since 1S00, and the number of lives lost greatly exceeds that number. Since the burning of Ewcn'a large new hotel and the rally of the Hargis faction to the aid of the men suspected of having burned it, the citizens, hopeful that when the militia arrived the intimidation would cease, shake their heads and say the state can render no relief. The Ewen family. Including seven chil dren, presented a pitiable spectacle today. Ewen tried to console his heart-broken wife and daughters, but their distress was great. Kind-hearted citizens, although feeling that in doing so they are risking their lives and property, have sent them clothing and bedding. They were break fasted by the soldiers. The Jail last night was under a heavy guart. The prisoners suspected of the burning of Ewen's house were kept in the camp guardhouse, man acled so they would have no opportunity to escape. They were greatly frightened during the night, fearing a mob would come to release them and that the sol diers would shoot them. Crawford cried during the night and repeated, ""What a fool, what a fool I am!" It Is believed that these men will be re leased because the grand Jurors are resi dents of Breathitt County, and will fear vengeance similar to that wreaked upon Ewen if they Indict the men. Joe Crawford and Ed Tharp were brought before Judge Redwine this morn ing and testimony heard on the writ of habeas corpus sued out by the Hargis people yesterday. Gray Haddlcks and Jerry Lunsford Identified Crawford as one of the men seen coming from the Ewen Hotel Just before the Are was dis covered, and A. P. Short said he saw Crawford and Tharp crossing the bridge before the fire. The prisoners told con flicting stories of their whereabouts on their detention yeeterday. Judge Hargis and the attorneys he employed to 'defend Jett and White represented the prisoners. Judge Redwine decided to hold them to the grand Jury, which was reconvened this morning. After the habeas corpus proceedings of Crawford and Tharp was disposed of, the trial of Jett and "White was called. The prisoners, who have been greatly alarmed over the arrest and detention of Crawford on the charge of burning the Ewen Hotel, were brought into court by the militia and turned over to Elisor Jones. The mothers of both the alleged assassins were In court, as was Miss Sarah Harglss, the young daughter of Judge Hargis. There -was much excitement about the Court house and those, entering the courtroom were not -only searched, but also closely watched. SliAI.V IX COURT BY XECItO. "White Man.

In addition to that, the Increase of cholera In the Phil ippines made it expedient to remove from that section as many American naval vessels as could bo spared, and they havo been gathered in the more salubrious Chi nese waters. Admiral Evans also has planned some squadron maneuvers, which cannot be undertaken without a specified number of ships, and the squadron Is now gathering for that purpose. Rebel Flotilla Is Scixed.

New York Tribune. There is not the slightest question that the 11th and 15th amendments confer civil rights. They are not merely political dec larations under which Congress acta at discretion, as in the matter of executing a treaty promise or annexing territory. The former has time and again been suc cessfully invoked to secure citizens of the United States against misuse by state governments of their powers. Nobody at tempts to deny that constitutions like that of Alabama are meant to deprive the negroes of their rights as Federal citlzena without taking the same rights away from white men. Some Southern politicians say that they have been clever enough to do this Indirectly, but it is a fundamental principle of law that what la forbidden directly cannot be done indirectly. Courts are supposed to go to the heart of ques tions, and not bo put off by transparent subterfuge. As the counsel for the appel lants In the present case pertinently said In his brief: "To the negro, if the guar antees of the 14th and 15th amendments are stricken from under him, under the pretense of want of Jurisdiction in the courts of tho United States to enforce them, he has only one other guarantee between him and actual slavery; that is the one contained In the 13th amendment. What reason would he have to hope for protection under that one, should the Southern States by similar methods under take to deprive him of Its guarantee?" If a case cannot In some form be brought to the court so that It will forbid dls crimination in granting tho franchise. It would seem, indeed, as If states might re-enact the old black codes and indirectly enslave the negroes without any redress left to them but the doubtful mercy of an appeal to the political branch of the Gov eminent. Wo hope that some case will be brought forward under which the legal and not tho political supremacy' of tho constitutional guarantees of the negro will be tested. And we still have faith that the Supreme Court would firmly uphold those guaran tees. Any other solution would be most unfortunate. Many of the Southern poll tlclans have doubted the success of the discriminating schemes, and, if they were declared Invalid, there would be general acquiescence, and probably suffrage lim ited by educational and property quallfi cation operating equally, and that Is all the beat friends of the negro ask. We are persuaded that the worst thing that could happen to the negro would be the renewal of political agitation concern ing his rights. It would stir up Ill-feeling and put back the progress of civilization many years. Yet, If the courts offer no protection to his rights as plainly guaran teed by the Constitution, the almost In evitable result will be the turning of the negroes toward Congress and the starting of movements by politicians for partisan ends to epforce the amendments by re duced Southern representation and other drastic laws. This would be unfortunate. Far better for the country would be a quiet enforcement of the Constitution by judicial process, which would vindicate tho American principle of equal laws, while leaving the intelligence of every state master of tho political situation.

(Special.) The Spokane flyer narrow ly escaped a serious wreck this evening at a point one mile west of Oneonta Gorge. A huge boulder, weighing several tons, had toppled from the over-hanging bluffs and rested on the edge of the track. The rock fell after the track walker had passed and there was no warning to the engineer of the Impending danger. The engine and baggage cars cleared the rock, but the right hand steps on all the passenger coaches were torn off. Before the Atlan tic passed, two hours later, part of tho rock was blasted off and removed. Owing to the danger from high water and the fear of washouts, the late pas senger train proceeded very slowly along the dangerous points on the Columbia and was 50 minutes behind time when it reached Hood River. Conductor Allison, In charge of the train, took every pre caution for tho safety of his passengers. Itefnue a Xcw Trial. SAX FRANCISCO. June 15.

Other barbers are expected to follow them. The pres ent hours of barbers are as follows: 7 A. II. to 0 or 10 P. M. week daya- 7 A M. to 11 P. 1L Saturdays. 7 A. H. to 1 or 2 P. M. Sundays. Such houre as these are Intolerable. They make the men who serve under that schedule little better than slaves, without time for their family or themselves, with out recreation, relaxation or self-Improvement. Selfish, thoughtless customers havo been largely responsible for the long houra of the barbers, as they have been for those of any other workers. They have assum ed that the barbers ought to be always on duty, ready to shave them or cut their hair at unreasonably early or unseason ably late hours. The shorter hours of labor which the barbers rightly demand are ample for the accommodation of the public The employers the boss barbers are not averse to the shorter hours. They, too, dislike close confinement in the shops. All they ask is that all shops observe the same hours. They do not wish to see some men opening earlier or closing later than they do, and so stealing away their customers and making more money. May the barbers make their point, short en their hours and gain for themselves, their wives and children soma of the things which make life worth living. 311 ss Anne Morgan an a Bridesmaid.

At pres ent, it is said, it can be manufactured for about 20 cents a gallon, and by the acetylene process the cost may be halved before many years.

Every now and then its abolition is proposed in tho Interest of the arts, the suggestion being coupled with another to prevent a wider use of alcohol a3 a beverage.
