Witnesses In Hyde Case
Confirm Each Other
Court Angered by Theft
KANSAS CITY. April 26.—Miss
Rose Churchill and Miss Elizabeth
Gordon were heard In today's ses
sion of the Hyde murder trial. Both
are nurses who went to the Swope
house on December 4 and remained*
during the typhoid epidemic. Their
evidence was similar to that of the
other nurses who have testified.
The strongest feature of Miss Mar
caret Swope's concluding testimony
was her Btory about how Dr. Hyde
came to her room while the lights
were burning low one night and in
the semi-darkness gave her a hypo
dermic Injection. The physician walk
ed into the room, announced he
would give a hypodermic, roiled up
her sleeve and Inserted the needle and
left, she said. Dr. Twyman was in
charge of the case at the time.
This arm has since become sore.
The state contends t be Injection
was of pus germs and not campho
rated oil, as Dr. Hyde claimed. Miss
Elizabeth Gordon, a nurse, testified
late in the afternoon that once
while Dr. Hyde was giving Chrlsman
Swope a hypodermic he filled his
syringe with water which had been
used in giving the patient a bath.
During the morning session O. H.
Gentry, a druggist of Independence,
said the strychnine tonic he sold
James Moss Hunton and which was
used by Colonel Swope was harmless.
And to show he believed In bis pre
scription he pulled a six-ounce bottle
of the tonic from his pocket and
took a draught of it.
Had Judge I.atschaw known last
week as much about the disappear
ance of the grand jury notes which
fell Into the hands of I)r. Hyde’s
counsel last Wednesday, as he does
now, three persons would have been
ordered arrested by him, acocrdlng
to announcement made today.
Furthermore, the judge believes
that If he had been notified of the
loss of the papers as soon as they
were missed, they never would have
gotten into the hands of the defend
ant’s attorneys. The court has put
the matter up to Prosecutor Virgil
ConklLng and the latter has asked
the local bar association to solve the
mystery.

Dedication at Washington
Participated in by Dis
tinguished Gathering
WASHINGTON, April 26.—The
beautiful new home of the Interna
tional Bureau of the American Re
publics, was today formally dedicat
ed in the presence of a most dis
tinguished company. Just two years
ago President Roosevelt laid the cor
ner stone of this building, which has
been described by Andrew Carnegie
as a "Temple of Peace, Commerce and
Friendship,” and which Secretary
Root has called a "Capitol in the
Capital of the united States of all
the American Nations.” The cere
monies on that occasion were most
impressive and elaborate and those
of today ^prere fully in keeping with
them.
The International and local appre
ciation of the significance of the dedi
cation of this diplomatic palace was
abpundanty proved by the presence
at the exercises as participants in
the program of the President of the
United States, the Secretary of State,
the Mexican Ambassador, Cardinal
Gibbons, Senator Elihu Root, Andrew
Cat negie, • Bishop Harding, Director
Jona Barrett, members of the dip
lomatic corps, of the Supreme Court
and the Cabinet as well as senators
and representatives of the National
Congress, high army and naval offi
cers, and a long list of distinguished
men and women.
The celebration, to which the
President referred, as the most im
portant international event which
Washington had witnessed in many
years, was divided into two parts, in
the afternoon were held the actual
ceremonies attending the formal
dedication, when impressive speeches
were made by eminent officials and
individuals. The ceremonies were
initiated by an invocation by Car
dinal Gibbons, who was followed by
Secretary Knox, who delivered the
formal opening address, in his ca
pacity of chairman of the Governing
Board of the International Bureau of
the American Republics. Director
John Barrett made a statement de
scriptive of the building and the
work of the bureau, while Albert
Kelsey, of the Philadelphia firm of
Kelsey and Crett, who designed the
beautiful structure told of its archi
tectural features.
Secretary Root, who was secretary
of state when Mr. Carnegie conceived
the project of erecting this building,
delivered an address, which was re
sponded to by Senor Don Francisco
Leon de la Parra, the Mexican am
bassador, In behalf of the Latin
American diplomatic corps. Mr. Car
negie delivered a characteristic ad
dress. There were readings of cable
messages from the presidents of the
Latin American Republics, congratu
lating Mr. Carnegie and the Bureau
of American Republics upon the com
pletion of the great work and then
President Taft added his tribute in a
speech of about half an hour in
length.
Just preceding the benediction by
Right Reverend Bishop Harding,
which concluded the afternoon exer
cises, occurred one of the most
unique and interesting features of
the program, when President Taft
and Mr. Carnegie Jointly planted a
“Peace Tree” in the patio, or court
yard.
Tonight the governing board of
the bureau and the director gave
a reception in honor of Mr. and Mrs.
Carnegie, which will be attended by
the President, the diplomatic corps
and officers of the army and navy in
full uniform. Altogether, as ex
pected, it was one of the most bril
liant functions of the social season.
The music was provided by the
Marine band.
The new home of the bureau rep
resents the expenditure of one mil
lion dollars, of which sum Mr. Car
negie contributed seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars and the twen
ty-one American Republics the re
mainder. It is described by the best
critics of architecture and construc
tion as one of the most artistic of
ficial buildings in the world. Its
style of exterior and its arrangement
of Interior, are entirely different
from the conventional architecture of
Washington and yet it is adapted to
its environment. It occupies one of
the most commanding sites of the
capital overlooking the Potomac

. PROVIDENCE. R. I., April 26.—
Developments up to date indicate
that through a great swindle manu
facturing Jewelers of Rhode Island
and other states have been robbed of
goods valued at half a million dol
lars. Ten arrests have already been
made in Alabama and Texas.
Details of the swindle were made
public here today by Representative
Harry Cutler of this city, who was
a member of a committee of the New
Jersey board of trade which was set
the task of capturing the conspir
ators.
The scheme worked upon the man
ufacturers was to buy jewelry
throughout the country and ship to
Montgomery, Alabama. After that
purchasers for the Montgomery firm
would ship to other stores con
trolled by it. These were then cred
ited as the real shipments of valu
able goods and so listed. Stores
were then set on fire, it is alleged,
and dummy packages were listed as
lost assets by the firms In bank
ruptcy proceedings.
New York Machine Will
Probably Not be Able to
Shake Him; Would Like to
ALBANY. N. Y„ April 26.—Mes
sages in generous numbers poured
into the executive chamber today,
bearing congratulations to Governor
Hughes on his appointment to the
supreme bench.
Friends and supporters ot the gov
ernor, however, are plainly down
cast at the prospect of losing so val
ued a leader. On me other hand,
those opposed to the governor's pol
icies as pursued during his term,
have little to say, other than to ex
press gratification at his appoint
ment, which will remove him from
the field of active politics. The
executive program in the legislature
probably will not be materially af
fected by the governor’s action.
Wuile It Is expected that Governor
Hughes will be confirmed with little
or no delay, it Is understood here
that he will remain as tne chief ex
ecutive of New York until October
and will not take the oath of his new
office until the fall term ot the su
preme coWrt opens, the a*#nd Mon
day in that month.
There has been much speculation
ever since It was first intimated that
Governor Hughes would be tendered
a place on the supreme bench, as to
whether bis appointment would take
him out of the fall campaign in New
York where Republican leaders say
he is sorely needed.
President Taft would not discuss
this phase of the case. He has been
anxious to secure the best man he
could for the supreme court vacancy
and he feels that he has done so.
He was much elated over Governor
Hughes’ acceptance.
The appointment of Governor
Hughes came as a surprise, despite
the fact that it had been generally
understood the position would be
tendered him. President Taft had
been warned Governor Hughes might
not be able to accept because bis
service as governor of New York had
depleted his small private fortune
and he felt the necessity of again en
tering the practice of law to earn
a competence for himself and fafin
ily. This did not deter the Presi
dent, however, and he had optimis
tically awaited a reply.
