Klishu Smith Hiul 1cvi Johnson Trail ed by Bloodhounds From Scone of HhootiiiK to Their Homes in Perry County Placed I'nder Art) st. Lexington, Ky., June 9 Sheriff Breek Crawford, ot Breathitt county, accompanied by Captain V. G. Milli ken and his famous bloodhounds from Lexington and a posse ot twelve deputies late yesterday afternoon ar rested Elisha Smith and Levi John son in Perry county, just across the Breathitt county border, and charged them with the attempted assassina-j tion of former Sheriff Kd Callahan. The. men were trailed to the house in which they were arrested by the bloodhounds. The dogs hit the trail in the rear of the coal bank, whence the shots were fired and started in the direction of Perry countyA short ' distance from the Callahan home it was found that the men had mounted I their horses and ridden away, and at j this point the dogs took up the trail' of the horses and continued on into! Perry county. j The officers learned from people ; living along the road that Smith and Johnson had passed and as they knew nothing of the shooting at the time they readily furnished the informa tion.' Since the shooting of Callahan word has been received by the fam ily that it was the purpose of the anti-Callahan faction to exterminate the entire family. The Callahan home is heavily guarded day and night. Circuit Judge Adams will press his request to Governor Willson to send a company of state militia to Jackson to preserve order during the present term of court. The men arrested are known to be staunch henchmen of the laton fne tion, while Smith is a close relative of John Smith, who confessed to par ticipating In the assassination of Jim Cockrell and Dr. Cox at the Instance of Judge Hargis and lid. Callahan. Governor Smith, brother of Klisha Smith, was placed und-r arest last night by Sheriff Crawford and his posse. The officers are now search ing for John Smith and ' Ashurg Spicer.

C., June 9 "Does the Chicago speech of Secretary of the Treasury .MacVeagh, in which was promised 'revision such as the 'peo ple will ace 'pi,' in your opinion im prove the chances for downward re vision?" This ri'iestinn was asked of Minor ity Leader Champ .Clark: 1 don't sc" that. Mr. MacVeagh's speech throws any light on the tariff question or cl.i'iges-. the situation in ny nianiu r wluifsoc ver," said Clark. That I'H'sid.-nt Tiift would like to see a bill passed w hich would redeem republican I'V.ieiints, 'especially, his own p-.or'is-s, el levision downward cannot he doitliled. but he is in the hands of the ii publican Philistines and b."!; been s'nee March l.i, when the house iviiehine triumphed through the aid Hf rabinet members, "J tat tl lil! : will be nulisi ant tal ly what Senator .ldrich and Senator Smoot v.a it it to be Is as certain as un'M liit.g 1 1 .jit has pot happened, and th; t the pie'idciit w ill sign it prompt-, ly is taken for gii-nted by all exctpt those w'ao hope i.cainst patent and potent fact.

So the republicans I t r.oi keeping their promises are betwixt the devil and the deep blue sea." The same question was put. up. to other leading democrats and republi cans friendly to bona fide downward revision. Tne replies were similar to that of Mr. Clark. All who have watched the business methods of the Aldrich crowd tit' clow range re.iltze that what they dolre is law, and of a great deal more import ance than what the president wants.

A president of the I'nited States can promise certain legislation, but as long as Aldrich and Cannon occupy i heir present position, he cannot de Iner t lie goods. . That is why observes here ou the ground state with positiveness that ('resident Taft will never be able to make good his promises of downward revision. Senator Aldrich is the one man who could make such a promise ami fulfill it. as conditions now exist. "Tlion w-hy. doesn't Air. Taft ;isk Aldrich lo please give the country downward revision?" is the question w.hicli naturally arises In the mind of the average man. i lie answer is that Senator Ald i !( Ii does iiot take his orders from ilie p'csident of the I'nited Slates. Seiiaiiir Aldrich and his co-workers tali ihei:- orders from tiie interests rthich .p'-oiit by high tariff duties. He is iepi e.seut ing t heir interests as con seii nt iously as if he was their attor liey. And as long as the tariff barons keep Aldrich in his s'at in the senate, he will represent them to the best of his ability.
