IN FEAR OF FEUDISTS
Ewen Refuses to Swear Out
Any More Warrants.
ASSASSIN'S FRIENDS ACTIVE
They Jforr Propose Farther to Cor
rupt Breathitt County by Uniting
Political Faction,- and Turk
Control the Xevr Court.
lEXTNGTON. Ky., June SO. The i
Breathitt County feud has been the oc-
caslon of much talk among the state offi
cials and prominent politicians and others
here today and the past two nights.
County Judge Hargls, who accompan
ied Jett and "White here yesterday, was
with friends until last midnight and to
night. He remained in Lexington as the
guest of John S. Kaln, proprietor of the
Iceland Hotel, and a prominent politician.
Hargia is a member of the Democratic
State Central Committee, which recently
reorganized the local organization. This
action was afterward defeated by the
County Judge here redlstrictlng the city.
The members of the deposed lpcal organi
zation have been very attentive to Judge
Hargis. and have been In the different
conferences. This has caused reports
about alliances. Some of the conferees
were trying to get In communication to
day with people at Cynthlana.
"Whlle these conferences were In prog
ress, Joseph Bruner, a detective for the
Lexington & Eastern Railroad, who runs
to Jackson, was proceeding to arrest sev
eral visitors from Jackson, as "accessory
before the fact." and was prevented by
B. J. Ewen. who declined to swear out
the warrants. Ewen is still a prisoner in
the Martin home, and does not venture
out of the house day or night, a there
are many persons In Lexington now who
have recently arrived from Jackson. Word
also comes from Jackson of an agitation
there fbr the arrest of prominent people
for trial on changes of venue. Tonight
politicians of what Is known as the "City
Hall faction," who are arraigned against
the "insurgents," or Courthouse faction,
which Is now in power, gave Judge James
Hargls a eupper at the Leland Hotel.
City officials wore among the hosts, also
Henry Bostwrlght, recently nominated for
Treasurer.
There Is no doubt that the reauest of
Judge Osborne and Harrison County offi
cials that no troops be sent to Cynthlana,
while Jett and "White are placed on trial,
will be observed, unless enough feudists
from Breathitt County should be there
to make the situation threatening.
Judge Osborne will call a special term
of court for early next month to try Jett
and "White.
Notwithstanding Judge Hargls request
that Jett and "White be allowed "extras"
at his expense, both men ate the Jail
breakfast. This was visiting day, but vis
itors were not allowed to see the Breath
itt County prisoners. Jailer "Wallace says
he Intends to be present at every meeting
in the jail of any person who calls on Jett
or "White, and will take no chances on
either poison or collusion with outsiders.
He watches all food that goes to them.
Juror's Life Is Threntened.
JACKSON. Ky.. June 20. The situation
here Is still one of apprehension. The
foreman of the grand Jury that indicted
Jett and "White has been threatened, and
the soldiers were stationed around his
house last night, as well as around that
of Haddlx, who testified to seeing Craw
ford and Tharpe, teamsters for Hargls
brothers, coming from the Ewen Hotel
Just before the fire was discovered. Anx
iety Is felt for other witnesses and Jurors,
and the Provost Marshal will continue
holding Jackson under martial law.
Governor "Will Give Protection.
FRANKFORT. Ky.. June 20. Governor i
Beckham today received a telegram from
Postmaster Hurst, Mrs. J. B. Marcum and
other residents of Jackson, asking for the
continuance of the provost guard estab
lished by the militia. In response, he as
sured them that he would 'do all in his
power to protect the people of Breathitt
County.
No order recalling the troops has been
Issued. They will be held pending the
calling of another special session of court
to Investigate the burning of Ewen's
hotel.
JILTED LOVER SHOOTS GIRL.
Attack Is Mnde in a Crowded Manic
Hnll at Coney Island.
NEW YORK, June 20. Made desperate
by the repeated refusals of Olive Foster,
a concert hall singer, to marry him, Ed
ward Teets, 21 years old, of this city,
shot and probably fatally wounded the

of a music hall In Coney Island. Teets
fired two shots at the girl and then turned
the weapon upon himself, but it missed
fire and he was disarmed before he could
pull the trigger again. A performance
was going on at the time the tragedy
took place and the panic-stricken crowd
stampeded, making a rush for the doors
and fighting madly to get out of range
of tho bullets.
"When Teets approached the girl as she
sat In the balcony he drew with his left
hand a box of candy. "When the girl
reached for It he shot her. She screamed
and sank to the floor. Teets fired a sec
ond shot but missed. The uproar which
arose instantly seemed to terrify him and
he placed the pistol against his own head.
It missed fire and a policeman seized him.
Ho was Identified by the victim at the hos
pital, but refused to make any statement
regarding the affair. The bullet lodged
near the girl's heart and the doctors said
will cause death undoubtedly.

Other Ships.
"WASHINGTON, June 20. Attorney-General
Knox had prepared today a stipula
tion in the nature of a bond which, on
Monday, will be filed with Judge Grin
nan, of the Chancery Court of Richmond,
practically the Government's interest In
the cruiser Galveston. This stipulation or
bond, it s asserted, will more than cover
the claims of the creditors against the
Trigg Company for work done and ma
terial used on the ship. After the stipula
tion is filed It Is believed that Judge Grin
nan will immediately release the ship to
the Government.
It was learned at the Navy Department
today that far greater interests are in
volved In the decision of the question of
the possession of the cruisers Galveston
and Chattanooga than are represented by
NEW PRESIDENT OF OREGON
WILLIAM GALLOWAY,
"William Galloway came to Oregon In 1S52. He was born in "Wisconsin
In 1845, being of Scotch-Irish descent. He arrived at Amity, Yamhill
County, In November, 1S52, and his parents settled about four miles south
of the town. His father sold out in 1S62 and went to the Florence mines,
but after ten years he returned to Yamhill County and resumed his
former occupation. Judge Galloway was educated at Willamette Uni
versity, graduating with the class of 1SS8. He taught school until 1S72,
since which date he has been actively engaged on his farm near Mc
Mlnnville. He has been a prominent member of the Democratic party
and has held numerous positions of trust In Oregon.
the actual cash' value of those boats. It
is regarded as absolutely essential at this
stage to establish a sound precedent and
determine the question of title to war
vessels under construction. In order to
protect the Government's Interests In the
ownership of at least a dozen ships. In
cluding battleships worth nearly $5,000,000
each. Separate action will be taken In
the case of the Chattanooga, building at
Elizabethport. and it Is therefore probable
that no further delays will be encountered
in the completion of the Galveston and the
Chattanooga, while any show of force or
duress on the part of the National Gov
ernment will be avoided.
It la fully expected that similar action to
that about to be taken In the case of
these two gunboats will be necessary In
the case of much larger warships now on
the stocks.
May Complicate the Situation.
RICHMOND, Va., June 20. In the mat
ter of creditors asking that the William
R. Trigg Shipbuilding Company be ad
Judged a bankrupt. Judge Waddell ren
dered a decision today that the appoint
ment of a receiver by the Chancery Court
of the City of Richmond, December 22,
1902. which was the act of bankruptcy
complained of in the petition, could not be
taken advantage of under the amendment
of February 5, 1903.
Judge Waddell nolds that the amend
ment Ls not retroactive and could not ex
tend to the appointment of a receiver
prior to February 5, 1903, as was the case
In the appointment of a receiver for the
Trigg Company. It Is thought probable
that this decision may further complicate
the situation with regard to the cruiser
Galveston.

Only the fringe of white hair showing

marks of Time gave Indication that Sen
ator Chauncey M. Depew, as he recently
walked briskly into his office In the Grand
Central station, hadreached his C3th birth
dayonly one short of "three score and
ten."
For the rest he looked as much like 69
years as a schoolboy looks the age of his
father. The Senator's face was rosy, his
shoulders erect, his figure trim and his
step quick and youthful.

his clear eyes twinkling, "and It Isn't

than being CO. But then I heard the other
day of a man who was 137 so, you see,
I'm a youngster yet.
"There has been- a great deal that was
mighty pleasant In those 69 years, my boy.
and In the years that are left there will
be much more that Is pleasant. Travel,

They had been married only a short
while. He was a young and struggling
physician, and she a very sweet, devoted
little wife, but very much afraid of
burglars, so when It did happen that
the doctor had a sick call during the -wee
hours, they resorted to all sorts of
means that she might know that It was
he who -wished to enter the house upon
his return and not the dreaded night
prowlers. The calls were not many, but
somehow they had never hit upon a suc
cessful plan until the wife exclaimed one

had occasion to test it Some one was
dying, the messenger said, and wanted
a doctor immediately; would he come?
Whereupon Jack tumbled Into his
clothes and In the confusion didn't hear.
or, what was more likely, forgot all
about the five knocks that he was to give
the front door upon hie return.
During his absence the fearful wife
"could hear nothing but knocks," she
afterward said, "and I was Just so nerv
ous, alone In a strange house and neigh
borhood, that I thought Jack had been
gone an hour before he had time to turn
the corner. Finally I heard the bell ring
then somebody tried the door, and at last
began pounding upon the door. I was
nearly dead from fright and don't know
what would have happened had it not
been that any number of stones began
storming against the house. I knew this
was an unusual attack for burslars. so
with a prayer on my Hps that Jack would
return at least some time during that
dreadful night, I ventured to the window
and peeped, out. It was Jack, and he saw
me."
"You've waked up the whole neighbor
hood. Why don't you let me in?" he fair
ly shouted.
"Vthy didn't you knock?" came back
the small voice.
"Why don't I knock?" again shrieked
the irate husband; "dldn t you hear the

"I know," sobbed the timid little wife,
"but you didn't knock the right number

BACK FROM LAMAS' LAND
EXPLORER TELLS OF STRANGE
CUSTOMS OF THIBET.
Prayers Figure in All Affairs
Wages Are Two Cents a Day
Population Is Decreasing.
ST. PETERSBURG. Monday. June 8.
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
A Russian subject. G. Z. Zoublkov,
has- returned from Thibet, where he spent
year In L'Hassa visiting the sacred
monasteries. M. Zoublkov ls a member
of the Buddhist sect known as Bouriats,
and, being familiar with the Thibetan
language, found no difficulty in. passing
for a Lama. He brought back many pho
tographs illustrating the life of the coun
try, and will publish a book.
In the Summer of 1S0O M. Zoublkov en
tered Thibet from the north as a member
of a caravan of 70 pilgrims, including
many Lamas. He approached Central
Thibet by the Boumza Mountain road.
which led through a treeless Alpine land
scape with snow-capped mountains ex
tending east to west In parallel chains.
A thin Modoc population was found. Only
within 0 or 70 miles of L Hassa was an
agricultural community reached. The cli
mate Is harsh and dry. Snow falls, occa
alpnally from December to March;" rain
from May to August; April, September,
October and November are dry. Tho
mean annual temperature is 42. 67 and 50
degrees Fahrenheit for morning, noon
and night, respectively.
The population, which has at times been
estimated at 33,000,000, Is probably one-
tenth that number. It ls decreasing
through disease, particularly smallpox and
on account of the large number of cell
bate priests.
The Foreign. Residents.
The sons of Chinese soldiers and mer
chants temporarily resident in Thibet are
counted Chinese, the daughters Thibetans
Other foreign residents are Indians from
Cashmere. Mongolians and Nepaulese, the
latter being skilled artisans, architects.
sculptors and Jewelers. The Cashmere
Mohammedans ore traders. They usually
convert their Thibetan wives. Almost all
the land In Central Thibet belongs to the
Dalai Lima. Only high officials . in
L'Hassa have hereditary homes. The
Thibetan houses are of brick and stone,
but have chimneys only in the kitchen.
The other rooms have holes to lot the
smoke escape, and are cheerlessly cold.
Dried dung ls the principal fuel.
The common people wear white, the
wealthy red, officials yellow, and soldiers
blue clothing of homespun. Jewels are
worn In greit abundance by the women
Barley meal, soup, the raw flesh of the
yak and the sheep, butter, sour milk and
vegetables are the principal articles of
food. Wheat spirits sell for a cent a bot
tle.- The men smoke tobacco, and the
priests take snuff.
Prayers Figure in All Affairs.
The people of Central Thibet are
passionately attached to their religious
observances, which are purely formal.
Prayers are regarded as of magic
potency, and figure In all ordinary and
extraordinary affairs of life. Medicine ls
In small popular favor. Morals are
primitive and marriage ties are loose.
Both polygamy and polyandry are com
mon. Agriculture and stock-raising are the
principal employments. Wheat, barley.
peas, beans, cattle, sheep, yaks, horses,
asses and mules are the mala products.
Labor ls cheap, men being paid two or
three cents a day, while women usually
serve for their "keep." Even a Lama
receives only 10 cents for a whole day's
prayers.
L'Hassa Is small, having at most oniy
10,000 regular lnhabitnats. It ls, however,
an important trade center. The native
traders are all women.
Worlc of the Monlts.
M. Zoublkov minutely describes various
monasteries and temples, including three
near L'Hassa, where 15,000 monks axe
mainly engaged In learned pursuits. At
one of these, Brabun. nearly 6000 boys,
young men and even gray-pearaea pa
triarchs are studying theology, the total
number of resident monks being S000.
Since the 15th century all power, civil and
spiritual, has been nominally in the hands
of. the Dalai Lama, but China maintains
Manchu resident and an army. The
Lama ls elected by the Manchu resident,
who, with a staff, picks the name of one
boy from three placed in an urn. The boy
ls educated by a council of learned men,
and assumes power when he reaches the
age of 22. The present Dalai Lama is
27 years old.
The Dalai Lama Council, In whose
hands the actual authority mainly resides,
embraces four "galons," appointed by
the Emperor of China.
The administration is In the hands of a
closed aristocracy and bribery and cor
ruption are nearly universal. Among the
common penalties are drowning, torture,
flogging, banishment and fines. The
Thibetan army of 4000 men Is poorly dis
ciplined and ls ls armed with bows and
old-fashioned guns. Robbery flourishes.
LITTLE GUESTS OF CIRCUS
Six Thousand Charity Children
Cheered the Greatest Show.
New York World.
If Mr. Bailey saw the pale-faced, ragged
little urchin who, all-forgetful of his ban
danged head, dashed down the steps at the
close of the circus one afternoon and
turned a series of somersaults In the
sawdust ring. In what he fondly believed
a brilliant Imitation of the professional
tumblers he had been watching. It must
surely have compensated the proprietor
of the greatest show on earth for his
splendid generosity. It was the spirit of
the circus, which every healthy boy and

THE WILKES BOOTH "MYTH"
Like the Monmouth and Marshal Key
Myths. It Will Not Down.
Boston Transcript.
The story which comes from the West
that J. Wilkes Booth, the assassin oi
President Lincoln, died so lately as Jan-
uray last, self-slain, in a little town in
Oklahoma, ls Interesting oniy as snowing
that a historical myth, familiar to all
readers of the history of older nations. Is
making Its appearance In this new land.
Otherwise It might be dismissed as simply
the advance story of "the silly season.
If ever a man was killed In the manner
described by history that man was J.
Wilkes Booth. Not only was his Identity
proved by the Incidents of his pursuit, by
the papers taken irom nis Doay us uia
time of his death, but tho Government
took every precaution against the possi
bility of a mistake. When Booth's body-
was brought to Washington it was identi
fied by many "who had known him wen,
among them his physician who found the
scar of a peculiar surgical operation ho
bad performed In the removal of a tumor.
Again, when some years later uie Dooy
was disinterred and given to the Booth
family for final interment, Edwin Booth
took measures which placed Its identity
bevond all possible question. J. Wilkes
Booth's body was deposited In the family
lot in Green Mount cemetery, Baltimore,
more than 34 years ago, and Its inter
ment there has been offlclaly certified.
Yet such is the force of myth and the
nooular love for the mysterious that there
are persons In Washington itseir. wno sen
ouslv maintain that Booth's body was
3unk in the Potomac by order of the Gov
ernment. and that . President Johnson.
when he armed Edwin Booth with author
ity to make the transfer to Baltimore
cemetery, was either the victim of an Im
position himself or knowingly participated
In a decentlon.
Myths of this nature almost naturally

have played a great tragic part In a strik
ing historic drama. Thus, although the
Duke of Monmouth was publicly executed
In the presence of thousands, though
among those who accompanied him to the
scaffold were some who had been In
happier days his Intimate friends, there
was a large element, with whom he had
been an Idol, who Insisted that another
Monmouth was decapitated. It was grave
ly maintained by these denlers of all prob
ability that a follower of Monmouth who
creatlv resembled him bad died in his
place.
Still another "theory'r was that James
II must at the last moment have arranged
a plot by which, Monmouth escaped tho

the popular belief that Monmouth escaped
the -ax that at least two men appeared in
England, claiming to be Monmouth, and
for a time ran a course of successful lm
posture. .
The belief that Marshal Ney was not
shot in the Luxembourg Garden, but es
caped either by collusion with those ap
pointed to be his executioners or by the
devotion of one who resembled him and
died for him, still has strength enough
to survive to this day. Only a few years
ago a bulky volume In support of the
"theory" that Marshal Ney escaped and
came to this country was published. Yet
If any historical fact has been established
beyond peradventure, It 13 that Marshal
Ney was executed in pursuance of his
sentence. To break the force of evidence
the believers in the Ney myth have set up
various "theories." one that the firing
party used only blank cartridges, and: an
other that an officer devoted to him and
i resembling him "kindly consented" to take
his place before the soldiers appointed to
fire on the "bravest of the brave."

There ls this great difference, however.
between the Monmouth myth, the Ney
myth and the Booth myth that Mon
mouth and Ney were Immensely popular

respective countries and who In their last
moments were regarded as martyrs for
great causes, whereas Booth was held.

most detestable character, and was to all
Americans a hunted murderer shot by the
precipitate action of one of his pjursuers.
Thousands had risked their lives with
Monmouth and Ney, and in the heroic de
votion which they Inspired ls found the
origin of the myth that some Englishman
died to save Monmouth and some French
man to save Ney. Booth had no such
followers before he made his leap Into In
famy; very few had knowledge of his
guilty Intentions, and his sole associate in
his flight deserted him when they were
brought to bay.
Still, such ls the popular love of the
miraculous that some American historian
of the future may be compelled to demon
strate to the contemporary public by ex
dmination of dates and documents that It
really was Wilkes Booth who was shot in
the burning barn by Sergeant Corbett.
