PEIOE FIVE CENTS MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS vZov BELT )f 2 V ST TO BE IS Late Death of Justice Brew er Thought to Be Chief Reason for Order NO DECISION FOR MONTHS PROBABLY Court "May Not Hear Cases Until Successor Named for Brewer WASHINGTON, D. C, April 11. Unwilling nt this time to render deci sions ia the dissolution suits against tho Standnrd Oil company and tho so-called "Tobacco Trust, ' the supremo court today ordered tho re-argument of tho cases'. , This postpones final disposition of tho application of tho anti-trust law to theso corporations for weeks, probably until nftcr October. Tho present term ends Juno 1. The immediate cause of tho reassignment of tho cases is thought to have been tho demiso of Justice Brewer. His death left only seven justices actively at work, as Justico Moody has been ill dur ing all of tho term. It is believed tho court will not ad vnnco tho cases for ro-argument until Tnft has" boon "given amplo timo to fill tho vacancy created by tho death of Brewer. If this vacancy is not filled beforo tho senate adjourns for tho sum mer, it is probablo tho eases will not bo taken up again until nftcr tho first of December, when tho senate meets ngain. Review of Tobacco Oaso In so far as tho decision below of tho United States circuit court- was against tho tobacco men, it was against them on tho broad ground that there was a combination which interfered with com petition in trado and all such combina tions were declared to bo jirohibited by tho Sherman law. Tho law was conced ed to bo "drastic," and littlo doubt was loft that it did not meet tho ap proval of that court. The government's proceeding was against tho American Tobncco company nnd sixty-five allied concerns and thoir oUlcers. all of them charued with form ing and maintaining a trust. Tho suit was based on allegations of violation of the Sherman anii-trusl law and also' of sonio of tho provisions of tho Wilson Gorman tariff law. Tho purpose of tho government was to force tho dissolution of tho combination and tho destruction of what wns declared to bo- a monopoly of the tobacco business in restraint of commerce, not only in tho United States, but throughout a largo- part of tho tobacco using world. Pour judges sat in tho hearing of tho caso in tho trial court, and wliilo threo of them ultimately . found common ground for a verdict, they wero so di vided in their respective lines of rea soning that each propounded an opinion of his own. In general terms tho verdict wns a declaration of guilt for a majority of the corporations on tho ground that they constituted a combination contrary to tlui law, and wliilo an injunction against theso combinations was granted there was no pronouncement on tho sub ject of monopoly, which tho government had especially sought to obtain. Cigar Stores Dismissed Tho bill as to tho United Cigar Stores company, n domestic corporation, was dismissed, as wero also tho bills against the Imperial and Hritish.Americnn com panies, English corporations, and their subordinate American concorns, not withstanding the contention by tho gov ernment that tho Cigar Stores company was tho retail instrument of tho trust in this country, jid tho English com panies, tho foreign divisions of it.

Disregarding tho pica of the govern ment on the point of monopoly, tho circuit court adjudged tho American Tobacco company and many of tho sub ordinate general companies to bo par tics to an unlawful combination; to bo each in itself an unlawful combination, and eacli to bo a holder of shares in other companies. Thoy wero enjoined generally irom continuing in tlio. com bination or from doing anything in fur therance of it; from engaging in inter state and foreign commerce, and from acquiring tho plants or business or ex orcising control over issuing companies. Tho issuing companies were also enjoin ed ngaint permitting such control. Tho bills against the various officials of tho companies who wore included in tho original complaint were dismissed. Both Sides Appeal Both tho government and the1 tobacco companies appealed tho caso to tho' su premo court tho former because of tho failuroito include all tho defendants in tho prohibition and also because of tho limited scope of tho verdict as to tho others, and tho companies, on tho Gen eral ground that thoro should havo been no verdict at all against them. Tiio argument of tho caso in tho su promo court consumed three times as much timo as is ordinarily allowed tor tho presentation of cases. Tho govern ment, which was represented, in the hearing by Attorney Gcnoral Wicker sham and Special Assistant Attorney Uoncral JMcKeynolils, mado tho most sweeping charges concerning tho combi nation. They sought especially to havo tho oxempted organizations included in tho prohibition, declaring that tho Im perial company and tho British Amer ican company had been so manipulated as to provide for a complete monopoly and division of tho tobacco business of tho world. An effort also was made to havo tho verdict of tho lower court so extended as to havo tho ontiro combina tion declared a monopoly in restraint of trade. On behalf of the companies it was contended that no effort had been made by them to restrict tho production of tobacco or to work a hardship to in dependent tobacco dealers. It was charged by tho government that over since 1902 thoro has been an. apportionment of tho tobacco -business of tho world between tho American Tobacco- coinpany and tho Imperial .com pany and a practical monopoly of most of tho important branches of tho. busi ness. Tho British American company' was alleged to bo an outgrowth of this arrangement, that company having been organized by tho other two to carry on tho business outsido of tho United States and Great Britain. It was es pecially contended that no judgmont would bo effective that did not prohibit tho continued operation, oven as purch nsors, in tho United States.

GOOD START FOR JURY IN HYDE HEARING Thirteen Temporaiy Jurors Chosen to Tiy Kansas City Physician DAUGHTER FAILS TO RECOGNIZE MOTHER Wife of Accused Man Aban dons Parent to Stick to Her Husband KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 11. Thirteen of tho temporary jurymen from whom tho final twelve will be chosen to try Dr. Hyde on the charge of murdoring Colonel Thomas Swope wero selected at the opening session of tho trial today. Extreme precaution is being taken by Judge Latshaw to obtain an un biased jury. Tho men temporarily se lected and more than fifty veniremen not examined wore remanded to the cus tody of the marshal at tho close of court. Attachments have been issued for seventy-fivo veniremen who failed to respond today. Tho court is anxious to obtain a jury tomorrow. Mrs. Logan Swopo, who is respon sible for tho prosecution of Hyde, met her daughter. Mrs. Hyde, in tlio court room today, and neither spoke. This is tho first time tney nau seen eacn other since December 18, when Mrs. Swopo ordered Hyde from tho house, and Mrs. Hyde, spurning her mother's gravo charges against tho doctor, .left with him. On March 7, while tho ac cused man was in jail, Mrs. Swope called at her daughter's home and was refused ndmission. Hyde displayed keen interest in tho selection of jurors and was cheerful throughout. History of Caso Tho most serious charges under the indictment which the grand jury found against Dr. B. Clarke, Hyde on March 5 of this year aro that he caused the death of Colonel Thomas II. Swopo and Chrisman Swopo by giving them strych nine. The indictment for manslaughter is based upon tho cliargo that Dr. Hydo caused tho death of James Moss Hun ton, a cousin of the Iato Colonel Swope, bv bfeedinc him. Perhaps not quite so serious, but far more sonsational, aro the remaining eight indictments wlncii chargo Dr. Hydo. witli having attempt ed to murdc Margaret Swope, Stella Swopo, Sarah Swope, Lucy Lee Swope, Nora Bell Dickson, Georgia V. Conipton, Mildred Fox and Leonora Copridge by inoculating them witli typhoid fever germs. Dr. Bennett Clarke Hyde, tho defend ant, is tho son of a Baptist minister, now retired, at Lexington, nnd went to Kansas City in tho early nineties and studied medicine. A short time after ho had been licensed to practice Dr. Hvdo was appointed police surgeon by Mayor Webster Davis. Beforo ho had served a year he was rcmovetl tor un unprofessional conduct. When in Octo ber, 1898, several unusually gravo rob beries wero committed, Dr. Hyde's name became connected will tho matter, but no suflicient proofs wero found against him. It was three or four years later that the announcement was mado of Dr. Hyde's engagement to Miss Frances Swope, daughter of Mrs. Margaret Swopo ot Independence anu ncico or tho lato Colonel Thomas II. Swope. Tho engagement was strongly oppos ed by Mrs. Margaret Swope, but Miss Frances was determined to marry Hydo and oven tho fact that several breach of promise suits were filed against him, which did not roilect credit upon his character, did not change her determin ation. Sho became tho wifo of Dr. Hyde and, after a wliilo, truce was, declared and a fairly cordial entento established between tho Swopo family- and Dr. Hyde. The door or tho bwopp homo was opened to tho young doctor last summer and soon thereafter began a chain of events which caused the death of three persons and came near wiping out the' entire Swopo family. Hunton First Victim The first victim was Jiunes Moss Hun ton, a cousin and trusted confidant of Colonel Swope. Ho died October 1, 1909, and apoplexy was given as the cause of his death. Subsequent investigation de veloped tlio fact, however, that death was not, caused by apoplexy and the state will attempt to show that Dr. Hyde was in some way responsible for the death of Mr. Hunton. Colonel Thomas Swopo, a millionaire real estate and mine owner, who gave Swopo park to Kansas City, died sud denly on October 3, 1909, shortly nftcr having taken a capsulo at tho direction of Dr. Hyde. Drs. Hektoen and Haynes of Chicago, two eminent exports, wfio made an analysis of tho viscera of Col onel Swope, round strychnine in his stomach and liver. In tho month of December a perfect epidemic of typhoid fever broke out in the Swope household. On December 1, Miss Margaret Swope, a nieco of Colonel Swopc, camo down with typhoid fever. Two days later Chrisman Swope, her brother, developed symptoms of the dis ease and on December, ho died at In dependence, after having taken a cap sulo given to him at tlie direction of .Dr. Hyde, hike Colonel Swope, young m.: ci .1! 1 fi ;i i v nriMiiiiiL Quju muu uitur viuient con vulsions and an analysis of his stomach showed the presence of strychnine. Between December 3 and 21 five other members of tho Swopo family and a col ored maid became ill with typhoid fovcr but all of them recovered. All of them aro legatees under tho will of Colonel Swope, who left an estate valued at more than $3,000,000. It will bo con tended by the state that Dr. Hyde had contemplated to murder theso legatees to increase his share in the estate and that ho had inoculated them with ty-phoid-fovor forms which' tin lm1 nl.tni... . - C - --. .uu UUIUIH- ed under a plausiblo pretext from Dr. xi. u.-oiewarr, a noted bacteriologist, on November 10, 1909.

Refers Report of Hx V iss to Legislators Wit. Stinging Rebukev ., THOUSANDS SPENT TO INFLUENCE LAW Political Somebodies Lav ishly Entertained by Insurance Men ALBANY, N. Y., April 11. Declar ing that the revelations of the Allds Conger bribery inquiry and tho facts brought out by Superintendent of In surance Hotchkiss had "Caused every honest citizen to tingle with shame and indignation," Governor Hughes sent a special message to the legislature to night recommending a "Thorough and unsparing investigation of legislative practices and procedure, and iuto the use of Corrupt aud improper means to defeat legislation." Accompanying the message was tho preliminary report of Hotchkiss out lining the facts developed in the fire insurance investigation at New Y'ork, and setting forth tho difficulties encoun tered in following up various leads that had been uncovered. The superintendent says obstacles ap parently insuperable developed in the courso of the inquiry. His judgment would warrant further investigation, but- ho had no power to pursue them, and therefore has laid the facts thus far developed before the governor for action. Hotchkiss says his investigation war rants the statement that legislative ex penditures in New York were consuic upus in 1901, 1903, 1904, 1905 and 1909. "''Moneys paid were disbursed as travelling expenses of individuals and delegations, retainers for counsel to so ctlled legislative lawyers, contribu'eions to political committees, gifts aud pay ments to men of political prominence and influeneo and entertaining legisla tors and others at times in a lavish man lier. , "The aggregate of disbursements cf this character as tho records now stand was largely from the treasuries of the fire insurance companies and probably exceeds $150,000." Hotchkiss says tho system of bill kill ing and law getting was a reproach to the people of the state. A system prior to 1900 is also apparent. The message was referred to the finance committee in the senate and the, ways and means committee in the as sembly. Senator Davis of Brooklyn present ed a resolution proposing tho appoint ment of a committee of threo cilrzfus three senators and threo assemblymen to conduct the inquiry. Fifty thousand dollars is asked to defray the expenses of the commission. KILLED PARTNER IN BUSINESS QUARREL Trouble Expected Over To nopah Shooting TONOPAH, Nov., April 11.
