DELAYED
Dying Wife Compels His
Absence-Court Sits
Heavily Upon Defense
KANSAS CITY, April 29.—Delay
betaine imminent in the Hyde mur
der tiial this afternoon, when Wil
liam Beebe, tt Juror, was called to
the bedside of bis dying wife. Re
ports from the local hospital in which
she Is confined were that she would
probably live but a few hours.
The Juror was excused and the
court adjourned until tomorrow
morning. If at that time Mrs. Bee
bee's condition Is so critical as to re
quire the presence of her husband at
ber bedBlde, the adjournment will be
extended.
The morning session of the court
was devoted largely to the testimony
of undertakers, cemetery employes
and persons who guarded the bodies
of Colonel Swope. ChrlBman Swope
and James Hunton after tbelr
deaths.
John S. Paxton testified during the
morning that It was with the hope
Ur. Hyde would be purged of all sus
picion that John G. Paxton, as a per
sonal representative of Mrs. Logan O.
Swope, began tbe'lnvestlgatlon of the
Swope tragedies.
“I Knew the terrible scandal any
other report regarding the Inquiry
would cauBP,” he Bald.
"When 1 employed I)r. Ludwig
Hektoen to examine the viscera of
Colonel Thomas H. and Chrlsman
Swope, I told hint I hoped he would
find every one Innocent.”
During the session attorneys tried
to prove Mr. Paxton harbored mal
ice against Dr. Hyde when he began
his Investigation Mr. Paxton dis
claimed that he did. When Dr. Hyde
was ordered from the Swope home,
•on December 18, said Mr. Paxton, he
shook hands with the physician. Dr.
and Mrs. Hyde laughed heartily when
Mr. Paxton told about his employ
ing detectives. Asked why he em
ployed the sleuths he said:
“To shadow Dr. Hyde and prevent
him from escaping.
Mr. Paxton «ud Attorney Walsh
♦exchanged warm comments during
♦ ho . ross-examlnatlon of the witness.
Mr. Walsh Insisted upon knownlng
how much money the witness got for
his work. Mr. Paxton charged Mr.
Walsh with custing aspersions on his
honesty.
"As an attorney Is paid, so propor
tionately will he work on his case,”
was Mr. Walsh's comment.
Calling attention to the fact that
the defense had served a subpoena
♦luces tecum on Mr. Paxton, ordering
him to produce the papers which
passed between him and the scientists
who made the autopsy on Colonel
and Chrlsman Swope, Mr. Wnlsh ask
ed the court to force the witness to
give them to I)r. Hyde's attorney.
Judge Latschaw refused the request,
and remarked:
"If all the state's evidence were to
he turned over to the defense In crim
inal cases, you might as well lock the
front doors of the Jails and open the
hack.”
Baltimore Belle Who Shunned
Society For Nomadic Life
"There in more love In a tent than under the roof of a Fifth avenue man
sion." That Is the startling announcement of "Queen” JesRle, formerly Mias
Jessie Key Habersham, scion of a distinguished Baltimore family, who, after
forsaking the high circles of Maryland society two years ago, became the wife
of "King” George Mitchell and "queen” of bis wandering Romany band of
gypsies. According to A. W. Habersham, father of the former society belle,
she became fascinated with the nomadic life while visiting a camp with school
chums when quite young. "Queen” Jessie, as members of her band call her,
Is a relative of Mrs. Marie Lloyd Key, a daughter of Francis Scott Key, author
of "The Star Spangled Banner.”

POLICE MAY
KEEP ORDER
IN THE DIET
BERLIN, April 28.—The Prussian
Diet will be placed under police sur
veillance if u decision of the rules
committee today be adopted by the
House. At a meeting of the commit
tee Herr Delbrtieck, Minister of the
Interior, declared the willingness of
the government to place a police of
ficer at the disposal of the president
of the House whose duty would be to
remove obstreperous members who
refused to respect the ruling of the
chair.
The committee acted at the In
stance of the Clerical and Conserva
tive parties, and the Incident Is an
outgrowth of the recent hissing of
Chancellor von Betlimann-Hollweg
by Socialist members when he at
tempted to speak upon the electoral
reform bill.
AUSTIN. Tex., April 29.—B. F.
Yoakum, chairman of the Frisco rail
rond, said today.
“There are two things that will
operate to solve the high prices of
living and these are a higher produc
tion per acre of the farming lands of
ithis country and better methods of
marketing larnt products. If these
two essentials are developed to their
highest possiblitles, there would be
no tiet'd for the government to ap
point boards of Investigation.”
Senate Adopts Provision
Party Lines Lost—Bris
tow in Attack on Rates
WASHINGTON, April 29.—The
physical valuation of railroads is pro
vided for by an amendment to the
railroad bill offered by Mr. Madden,
of Illinois, and adopted by the House
today.
The vote for the amendment was
130 to 67, in favor of its passage.
The Democrats voted as a unit, while
the Republican “Insurgents” and
many others of the majority joined
them.
Senator Bristow of Kansas today
resumed his discussion of trans-con
tinental and interior rates, saying the
railroads discriminate against inter
ior points and in favor of coast ter
minals.
Mr. Elkins said one cause of low
trans-continental rates was the com
petition of the Canadian roads.
“That’s a reflection on the Ameri
can roads” promptly responded the
Kansas senator who asserted there
should be no good reason why the
foreign roads could operate more
cheaply tnan the American roads.
When Mr. Elkins called attention to
the connection me Canadian gov
ernment with the Canadian roads.
Mr. Bristow declared the American
government had built the Unton Pa
cific and had presented it to its own
ers.
Mr. Smoot came to the assistance
of Mr. Bristow in contending for the
adoption of the long and short haul
amendment whereupon Mr. Elkins
charged the effect would be to raise,
rather than to decrease local and
noncompetitive rates. The Utah and
Kansas senators said their states
were willing to take their chances on
that.

Uprecedented Action Is
Taken by Wickersham in
Starting Investigation
NEW YORK. April 29.—The
federal government hurled a bomb
shell into the cotton market to
day by serving subpoenas on half a
dozen prominent members of the New
York exchange to appear before the
grand jury. The presence of these
men is demanded “to testify general
ly and give evidence in the action be
tween the United States as com
plainant and Frank B. Hayne and
William P. Brown of New Orleans
and others, and to produce records
and papers as follows:
"The original or copy of an agree
ment made Feb. 26, 1910, by Hayne,
Brown and others and other parties
who did thereafter subscribe to an
agreement by which it was provided
among other things that the parties
of the first and second partB should
each purchase 150,000 bales of cot
ton for delivery during the months of
March to July 1910, at certain prices
and under certain conditions named
in tne agreement.
The “others” in the case are be
**•-*"•* tu Vnjrpnp O. t\%A
Texas plunger who lost $2,000,000
and more In the January decline, and
James a. Fatten of Chicago, who Is
said to have the greater part of a
fortune of $10,000,000 locked up in
, the May and July options.
One surprising feature of the in
'vestigation is tnat the men under
subpoena are members of “spot”
firms or handlers of real cotton, and
as such are on the opposite side of
the market from the Brown and
Hayne party. Among those reported
to be subpoenaed are:
Richard A. Springs of Richard A.
Springs & Co.; Edward Moyse of Ed
ward Moyse & Co.; Norris Sellar of
Dick Bros <v c,o.;E. W. Weld of S.
M. Weld & Co.; David H. Miller, Wil
liam R. Craig of Craig & Jenks and
J. Temple Gwathmey of George H.
McFadden & Bros.; Nathaniel M. Car
penter of Carpenter, Baggott & Co.,
ana J. s. name of J. s. Da«h. & Co.
None of these men was willing to
admit that he knew of the alieged
■ agreement of Feb. 26 as specified in
' the subpoeuas. There was much
talk of the government’s action point
I ing to a thorough probing of the
“bull pool” which dates back about a
year or more.
Whatever agreement was entered
into on eb. 26 as specified, follow
ed the acceptance by Messrs. Brown
and Hayne of all notices for March
JpItvPK of cot toil. The spot hrmti
which needed cotton for their cus
tomers amollg the Southern and New
England mills had effected a break
of a cent a pound or more, and were
expecting that the unfortunate
‘•long" being unabie to advance ad
ditional margins would add to the
display by throwing their holdings
on the market. Instead announce
ment was served on all the exchange
i.rms that Brown and Hayne would
accept all the cotton tendered for de
livery in March. There were nearly
100,000 bales In the local stock and
the bulls assumed ownership of fully
two-thirds of these. They began
shipping cotton immediately to
Liverpool. The result in this mark
et was that the May and July options
advanced before the shorts repre
sented by the spot firms could cover.
They have been unable to cover since.
