A representative of the Burley Tobac co Society from the society headquarters here went to Falmouth this afternoon to confer with Dr. G. W. McMillan and other growers of Pendleton county relative to the receivership suit filed by them in the. Fayette Circuit Court In this city last Wednesday against the society.

The principal mission of this representative was to lay before Dr. McMillan and his associates an official statement, showing the amount of tobacco the society handled for the Pendleton county growers In the 1906 and 1907 pools and also how much money the society has paid to them for those two crops. According to this official statement Dr. McMillan and his co-plaintiffs have Mttto upon which, to base their action, as they claim the crops have been eold and part of the proceeds distributed, yet large sums remain in the hands of the organi zation and the officers have refused to distribute same. This statement, however, shows that the Pendleton growers got more than their pro rata.

According to this statement J449.300 worth of tobacco out of the 1SU6 and 1907 crops were piacea In the hands of the society for disposal, and S451.000 in round numbers has been paid to the Pendleton growers. This ebows thev have received approximately about $1,700 more than they are entitled to. A strong enort win oe innae seiue ut the controversy and have the suit withdrawn. Lesington. Notes.

Nov. 9. While reiterating his oft-expressed belief that the United States should attempt a national expedition Into the Antarctic regions, Commander Robert E. Peary tonight declared that because of the fact that Commander Robert F. Scott, of the British navy, is working on a South Pole expedition, it would be improper to attempt to utilize his route or the region in which he Is to work.

Therefore, he said, he has given the matter no further thought since his return from the North, when he stated that his field work was at an end. Commander Peary repudiated the announcement printed in several newspapers that -within Ave years he would head an expedition to seek the South Pole under the auspices of the Peary Arctic Club. Commander Scott, who Is mentioned in Peary's statement, led the British national expedition toward the South Pole in 1901, spending nearly four years in those regions. It was his pioneer work which made the last Antarctic expedition by Shackleton so successful. Commander Scott Is now engaged in raising money to lead another expedition next summer.

Commander Peary and family will remain here for the winter. REPLY TO INQTjTRIES. As a Mail Ieaves North Pole He Would Be Going South-Washington, Nov. 9.

STATE SENATE Thomas Hercules Hays, former State Senator, Confederate Veteran, and one of Kentucky's best known citizens, died j'esterday morning at 8:30 o'clock at his home, 124 Ormsby avenue, after a brief illness of pneumonia, brought about by a cold contracted last Wednesday while attending the funeral of his lifelong friend, Sanders. maj. Hay a had been in the best of health for many months and had frequently remarked that he never felt better in his life. But on the afternoon of Maj. Sanders' funeral, which, was held from the Hays home, Maj.

Hays caught -a slight cold while standing on the damp ground at the cemetery. He thought very little of It at tho time, but when it grew worse, ho was compelled1 to go to his bed last Thursday morning. Dr. Cecil and "Dr. Shaunty were called immediately, but nothing known to medical skill could save Maj.

Hays' life. Maj. Hayg was born at West Point, Hardin county, October 6, 1S37, and was the son of Nancy Neill and William H. Hays. He later was one of the earliest Sheriffs of Hardin county.

Mai. Hays spent his early days on his father's farm and soon learned lessons that fitted him for the strenuous duties of life. The land was wild, anrt was a Dart of Daniel Boone's original holdings, and young Hays spent most of his leisure time in hunting. To this open-air life may be attributed his wonderful vitality and al most perpetual youxn. Loved Young Peopla.

It Is said of Mai. Havs that he desolsed anything suggestive of old age and loved young oeoDle and their companionship. At a gathering of any sort, where boys and girls chanced to be, Maj. Hays could never be persuaded to remain with the old folks, but enjoyed himsc'f with the young people. At St.

JoseDh's College, at Bardstown, he was graduated with the degree of isacneior or Arts, ana aiso tooic nign honors in civil engineering. That was in 1S72, and he later pursued the study of engineering. Returning to Hardin county he taught school in several districts, but his ambition would not allow him to remain a country school teacher, and so he decided to study law. Accordingly he took up this sutdv under the direction of Gov. John L.

Helm and the Hon. James W. Hays at Elizabethtown. With singular dlliffence and success he pursued his work until the outbreak of the Civil War. Although he had just been admitted to the bar and had before him every pros- MAJ.

T. H. HAYS. pect of a brilliant future as a jurist, he abandoned his ambition and ease and entered the army to fight for what he deemed the rightthe Confederacy. He enlisted in the Sixth Kentucky Infantry, of which Gen.

John C. Breckinridge was commanding officer, and was soon raised to the rank of a Major. Saw arucH Active Service, He saw active service during the entire war, and was in some of the greatest battles. At Shiloh ho was in command of his regiment and fought valiantly at Corinth, Vicksburg. Chicka-mauga and other notable battles of the war.

In 1S63 he was made Adjutant and Inspector General for the army-at-large. In this connection he distinguished himself by cutting off communication between Sherman and his post at Chattanooga. He also was with Ge'n. Joseph E. Johnston until the latter was relieved by Gen.

Hood, and continued with Gen. Wheeler until the surrender at Appomattox courthouse. Although he had fought, for the lost cause, yet, when the strife was over and the nation had again become one, there was not in all the land a firmer supporter of the Stars and Stripes than was Maj. Hays. He was of the type of citizen and patriot who believes that true love for country lies In good citizenship and right living rather than a display of willingness to fly to arras.

In accordance with this, he took a keen Interest In politics and all affairs of the nation, aiding, as best he could, the. cause of good government and every worthy movement, Engaged In Farming. Returning to Kentucky he engaged In farming for some time in Hardin county, but in 1869 was elected a member of the State Legislature. After serving for two terms he went to New York, where he engaged In banking for three years. On his return to Louisville his knowledge of business affairs and executive ability was rewarded by his being appointed general superintendent of the Pullman Car Company and a member of the railroad board of arbitration of the Chicago and Ohio River Railway Commission.

In 18S2 he became vice president of the Ohio Valley Cement Company and in 1SS3 was elected president-of the Springer Cement Mills of New Mexico. Besides many other business ventures, he was Interested In the building of the Louisville railway. tin 1SS2 Maj. Hays was the Democratic candidate for Congress in the Louisville district, but -was defeated by Albert S. Willis.

In 1883 he was elected to the State Senate from the district composing Jefferson countv and the First and Second wards. In "that body he was an opponent of the Goetei bill, and In the crisis following that bill Maj. Hays withdrew his support from the Democratic party and allied himself with the Republicans. Republican Candidate. In tho recent campaign lie was the Republican candidate for School Trustee in the Sixth and Seventh wards, but It was found before the election that he was Ineligible, owing to the fact that he had not lived in the district the required length of time.

Maj. Hays was twice married. On July 15, 1861, ho was married to Miss Sarah Hardin Helm, daughter of Gov. John L. Helm.

She died in 1S68. Of- the three daughters born of this marriRge two are living. Mrs. Alexander S. ThWeath, of New York, and Mrs.

FOUR NEGROES UNDER ARREST Cairo, 111., Nov. 9. Evidences that Misa Annie Pelley, a shop girl, engaged in a terrific struggle before succumbin; to assailants last night was discovered to-day when the authorities were confronted with the task of solving the mystery of her murder. Bits of torn clothing strewed the alleyway in which cnuarer. round ner disfigured body, these evidences revealing that she fought against her murderers for two blocks.

Miss Pelley was a -untry girl of rather unusual strength, and the authorities are inclined to believe that more than one person was involved in the attack upon her. Pour negroes, a woman named Green and three men, Will James, Arthur Alexander and Will Thomas, were arrested to-night and are beine held in jal! as a result of blDodhounds follow ing a trail to Mrs. Green's home. The first two dogs on the scene followed the trail to the negro house at the rear of 2515 Poplar streft. On a second trial they ended at the same place.

Three bloodhounds brought over from WIcklifle, were put on the scent later and wound up at the Green cottage, and for six consecutive trials the dogs went to the same place. Two more bloodhounds arrived here to-night and will be pat on the scent Mayor George Parsons, who offered a reward of S200 early In the day, increased it to S1.000 later and a large fund is1 being subscribed by citizens in addition. Evidence indicates Miss Pelley was attacked In irom of her home and dragged nearly a block end a half to an alley. The victim of the crime was 24 years old. She came here a few months ago from Anna, 111., and has been living with a married sister.

Because of her habit of spending the night with girl friends, no fear was felt by her relatives when Miss' Pelley failed to return home la3t night. She was on her way to take a car home from work in a local dry goods store when last seen by friends, and it is thought that crime occurred early In the evening, at leaat twelve hours before the body was found. "HAVE PITY ON ME!" WAILS TvnvrR STEEHTfEIL AT BESTJMPTIOII OF TTTVTt TRIAL. Mystery Underlying Murder of Wom an's Husband and Stepmother Stills Kemains Unsolved. Paris, Nov.

9. The sixth day of the trial of Mme. Steinheil no further ad vanced the solution of the mystery underlying the murder of the woman's husband, Adolphe Steinheil, painter, and her step-mother, Mme. Japy. While.

the testimony given to-day was indi rectly more damaging to the defendant, the whole case still rests upon purely circumstantial evlccr.ee. The Judge's attitude toward the ac cused woman Is becoming distinctly more lenient and at the same, time the defendant's powers of resistance seem already exhausted under-the terrific ordeal to which she 'has been subjected. "Have pity on me! I should not be tortured! she exclaimed soon after the case opened this morning, but during the latter half of the flay she sat forlorn and dejected, the personification otgrlet and misery, allowing the grav-esfaecusations to pass unchallenged. Several newspaper reporters who had Interviewed Mme. Steinheil soon after tho crimo gave testimony that was most damaging to her defense.

One of these witnesses declared that Mme. Steinheil had said, after a whispered conference with Marlette Wolf, tho cook at her home, that the Wolf woman would denv everything if her mis tress was arrested. Judge De Valles called the witness' attention to the gravity of his testimony, and the witness replied: "I accept full responsibility." It is learned that the line of defense to be followed hy M. Aubln, Mme. Stelnhelrs counsel, will De based in largo measure on the woman's mental condition.

While insisting upon her entire innocence of complicity in the crime, M. Aubin will admit the wnole miserable story of her Immoral past and will contend that exposure and the suspicions aroused against her had so affected her hysterical and passion ate nature that it drove ner Into a condition of frenzied despair, rendering her Irresponsible for her acts and accusations after the crime.
