MARCUM ONCE SAVED BY BABY Second Trial of Judgo James Hargis Begun in *tfie Mountain Courts ?Mrs. Mamuti's Story?State's i Witnesses [ntiniidated. BeattyviTTe, Ky?All the men | known to 1)9 members of the Hargis or of I he Mar cum faction were searched by the Sheriff's officers for firearms before they were permitted to enter court. More than a dozen revolvers were confiscated and several Ions knives taken from the Breathitt County visitors. B R. Joueft made the opening statement of the prosecution's case in the new ffiol ruflnro fomoa HTfirS'ifit nnrl Ed ward Callahan for the murder of James B Marcum. He announced that many of the State's witnesses had remained away because they feared assassination, and warned the jurors that the Hargis-Cockrell feud, which had disgraced Kentucky, j would continue unless justice were done. One incident he promised to prove was a plot by which it was arranged that Tom White was to kill Marcum with a shotgun as he passed the Hargis store. Marcum passed by holding his baby in his arms. White, he said, was upbraided for not shooting and replied that he did cot want to kill the baby. Hargis is quoted as saying: ' You ought to send that brat to hell with its daddy." Jouett's statement was dramatic in the extreme and the picture h drew so vivid that Mrs. Marcum and other women in the courtroom cried Mose Feltner, upon whose testimony the Commonwealth depends largely was the first witness. Peltner told of many alleged plots against the life of Marcum, all of which were instigated by Hargis and Callahan they agreeing to "stand by him.' ,r,u - ?=?

Mrs. Marcum had seen Smith, Abner and Jett entei and leave the house of Alexander Hargis, where the window in one room was raised about six inches. Mr. Patrick, a lawyer of Jackson, saw Curtis Jett enter the side door of the Court-house in Jackson and a few minutes later shots were fired and Marcum fell dead in front of the Court-house. It was called to the attention of the court that partisans of Hargis and Callahan were intimidating witnesses for the prosecution, causing some of them to leave town. The court announced that the intimidators would be severely dealt with. CLOSE MARSHALL FIELDS. Building Inspectors Allege That Necessary Alterations Were Refused. Chicago.?Marshall Fie'id & Co.'s big retail store-was closed on orders from Building Commissioner Bart- | zeu. Police were stationed at the entrances to the big State street establishment and customers wer? turned away. Persons in the store were not interfered with. The closing of the establishment was ordered by the city authorities on the ground that the building does not comply with the city ordinances and that the firm has persistently refused to make efforts to observe the law. Sergeant Dougherty and six policemen were ordered to the store, accompanied by deputy building inspectors. At the store the order had been anticipated. The doors were closed as soon as the police arrived, and it is said that admittance was denied them. A great fight iu the ! courts is expected. KAISER HAS A GRANDSON.

CHOLERA RAGlNG IN HU The Epidemic Confined Almost Entirely to Native Population. Health Authorities Have Thtia Far Beeu Unable to Stop Spread of the Disease. Washington, D. C. ? Information received by the Insular Bureau of the i War Ronfirfmont fvnm TVyTonilo io fr* j the effect that cholera in a very virulent form is raging there. During the week ending July 4 there were 110 | cases and ninety-nine deaths from the disease. That the health authorities have thus far been unable to stop the spread of the disease is indicated by the further report that during the twenty-four hours preceding 8 o'clock a. m., were twelve cases and five deaths reported from the provinces. During the same period in Manila there were twenty-nine cases which came to the knowledge of the Health Department, twenty-three of which were fafal. The situation has assumed a very grave aspect, and tha authorities have taken stringent measures to stamp out the disease as speedily as possible, but it seems to have gained a headway which is regarded with some apprehension. It is said that the disease is confined almost entirely to the native population, although several cases among white persons have been reported. It is believed, however, that the army and the civilian employes of the insular Government have thus far escaped from the ravages of the disease. It has been the practice the Philippine authorities to cable the names of employes of the Government in case of death, and as none have been reported in this manner it is thought that there have been no fatalities among them. The islands have never been entirely free from cholera, but up to the present time the disease has been practically under control, only an isolated case having been reported to the authorities from time to time. After an absence dating from March 21 cholera again reappeared In Manila early in May, when there were six cases and six deaths. During May there were also fifteen cases and twelve deaths from the same disease in the provinces. Every possible effort was made to trace the source of infection, but so far all attempts have been unsuccessful. The first case occurred in the person of a beggar, who was known to have been in the city for at least several weeks. As far as could be learned, he ate only such i'ood as is common to the nnnrpp r'asses. While it has not been possible to trace any connection between the cases, yet they have all occurred in the district of Tondo, and all of them in houses that border on the same estero. H. M'K.

BRITONS LOSE FAMOUS CUP. | I Grand Challenge Trophy at Henley Captured by Belgians. Henley, England.?The crew representing tbe Club Nautique deGrand (Belgium) defeated Trinity Hall, Cambridge, by three lengths in the final for the Grand Challenge Cup. Time, seven minutes nine seconds. The cup thus leaves England for the first time in its history, and for the next twelve months will adorn the headquarters of the Belgian Rowing Club. The ease with which the Belgians beat the crack British crew was a rather rough shock to the complacency of the home oarsmen and to their belief in the hitherto unshakable invincibility of their methods of rowing. The short, quick stroke and lack of leg-work of the Belgians have been criticised by the British experts since the first appearance of the fori eign crew. Heavy Penalty For Land Fn???d.

Emma Stephany Tells IIow She Shot Her Sweetheart James Frizznell While Celebrating the Fourth. Pottsville, Pa.?First Implicating two young men of prominent families in the murder of James Frizenell, whose body was found in the street on July 4, then clearing the men and taking the blame for the shooting on her own shoulders, Emma Stephany, nineteen years old, daughter of a prominent merchant of this place, amazed the police by the stories which she told. Because of the sudden change in her stories the police are inclined to believe that the girl is demented, and that neither she nor the young men whose names she told know anything about Frlzznell's death. Yet both her stories at first glance appeared to have the imprint of truth, and the girl now is under arrest awaiting the result of an investigation by the police. Frizznell's body was found in the street on the mbrning of the Fourth of July with a bullet wound in his breast. Among those whom the police questioned in regard to the shooting was Miss Stephany. She said that she had seen the man slain, and she mentioned the names of those who she said did the shooting. The police visited the young men mentioned by the girl, but apparently they were able to prove a complete alibi, for they were not arrested. The police continued their work on the case, and they were surprised when the girl walked into headquarters and said that she wanted to retract the story she told and take all the blame for the killing. She asserted that she shot Frizznellacicdentally with his own revolver in celebrating the Fourth. She said he loaned her the pistol and that she meant to fire it in the air. She shut her eyes when she pulled the trigger, and when she opened them again Frizznell was lying on the ground i with a bullet in his breast. JAIL FOR TRUST LAWYERS.

In a short speech to the court the Admiral declared that he took all the blame on his own shoulders and asked that he alone be punished to the fullest extent of the law, virtually an appeal for condemnation and death, which is the penalty for hauling down the St. Andrew's Cross to a hostile vessel.

ADMIRAL RUED I FOBMALLY ACQUinEB c Four Other Officers Found Guilty and Sentenced to Be Shot. CHARGED WITH COWARDICE Indictment a Scathing Arraignment of Men Who Surrendered to Jnp- v anese ? Sailors Left to Be ^ Drowned?Czar May Interfere. ' Cronstadt, Russia. ? Admiral Ro- j jestvensky, who was tried on the f charge of surrendering to the enemy v after the battle of the Sea of Japan j: before a court martial here, was ac- i quitted after the court had deliber- a xted for nearly ten hours. ^ Four officers of the torpedo boat j destroyer Bedovi. who were placed J on trial with the admiral, were found c guilty of having premeditatively sur- ^ rendered the Bedovi, and all four E were condemned to daath by shoot- c ing. On account of extenuating cir- T cumstances the emperor will be re- t quested to commute the sentences to r dismissal from the service. The full report of the court mar- r tial shows that Admiral Rojestvensky r was acquitted on the ground that he 1 was not in his full senses and, there- 1 fore, was' not accountable for what a transpired at the time of the surrender. i Some of the officerswho were tried c with Rojestvensky were acquitted, j their guilt not being proved. c The recommendations for mercy in i c the cases cf Captain de Colongue, | t chief of Rojestvensky's staff; Captain I Baranoff. of the torpedo boat de- f stroyer Bedovi; Fillipovsky and e Leontieff, who were found guilty and sentenced to be shot, were in accord- i ance with the regulations, and based on the physical and mental demoralization produced by the long voyage and shock of the disaster in battle. They were also credited with a desire to save the life of Rojestvensky. The indictment charged Admiral Rojestvensky, who commanded the Russian fleet at the battle of the Sea of Japan, and the officers of the torpedo boat destroyer Bedovi with cowardice in surrendering to the enemy. The indictment was a crushing arraignment of the demoralization and cowardice of the officers, contrasting their conduct with that of the officers of the torpedo boat Grozny, which, in practically the same position as the g Bedovi, engaged and sank a Japanese torpedo boat. The testimony brought out details of the coldblooded way in which Cap- 1 toj" + V,?
