Washington, April 21.—Viscount
Chinda, Japanese ambassador, con
ferred today with President Wilson
over the provision of the pending Im

because we feel that they have no place
In a crisis like this. We come out for
Colonel Roosevelt as a Republican
newspaper. Intending to remain Repub
lican, and we feel that In doing so we
are doing the best thing not only for
the nation but for the Republican
j

Justice Hughes might have iipoken If
he had been free to speak. Indeed, we
feel sure he would have spoken, and
for Americanism, had silence not been
imposed upon him and then we should
have preferred him. But the plain fact
is that he did rot, could not, speak.
If the justice should be chosen leader
In the fight for a worthier nationalism,
he would have to take the torch that
Colonel Roosevelt has thus far bone.
He would have to accept an Issue that
meant Its most only In another man's
hands. Surely In the transfer we
should lose our stride. As a people we
should feel that we, had hung back,
that we hadn't "gone the limit" In the
true American way. -The governments
of Europe would feel this, too. They
would conclude that we meant to «tem
porize. Something would be lost of
the moral effect of moving straight on
under the leadership of the man who
represents the purpose of this country
as no one else does or can.
The colonel stands for the things
the Tribune stands for. These things
will be advanced more by his nomina
tion than by any other nomination that
can be made. The Tribune must sup
port him. .
We are doing more this year than
chooslng a new president. We are
choosing which way the country shall
go in th? era that Is now opening. Just
as our fathers chose the nation's path
in the days of i860. -

HYDE MAY HAVE
TO STAND TRIAL
A FOURTH TIME
v
Kansas City Physician Is
Arraigned on New Infor
mation Charging
With Swope Murder.
Him
Kansas City, Mo., April 21.—Whether
Dr. B. Clarke Hyde, the central figure
in one of the most sensational cases of
alleged murder with which the Kansas
City police have ever had to deal, Is
to be tried a fourth time on the charge
which has been held against him the
past seven years. Is expected to be
determined within the next few daya
Just when It was generally expected
that the case would be dropped for
lack of prosecution a new Information
was filed against the accused phyal
clan and today he was arraigned in
court for a preliminary hearing.
Dr. Hyde la charged with the murder
In 1909 ef Colonel -Charles H. Swope,
a millionaire philanthropist of Kansas
City. The case presents many strik
ing points of resemblance to the sen
sational Dr. Waite case now In the
New York courts. Dr. Hyde's wife was
a prospective helreas to a part of the
large fortune of Colonel Swope. The
prosecution undertook to prove that
Dr. Hyde planned to murder the aged
millionaire and likewise dispose of the
Intervening heirs so that hs might,
through his wife, come Into possession
of the Swope millons. The injection
of typhus germs Is alleged to have
been the medium employed by the phy
sician ta accomplish his purpose. Colo
nel Swop* died and other members
of his family were stricken with the
fever. Dr. Hyde was tried three times
on the murder charge and waa once
ponvictad, but the verdict was reversed
by the higher courts and a new trial
ordered. The family of Colonel Swope
Is undsrstood to havs furnished a large
amount of money to aid the prosecu
tion at these trials. Since the third
trial, which Vas brought to a sudden
and sensational end by the disappear
ance of a juror, the prosecution has
remained Inactive.
Hyde haa been at liberty under bond.

MORE RUSSIANS
WILL BE SENT TO
WESTERN FRONT
Understood That Quarter of
a Million Men Will Fight
Beside French and Brit
. ish Troops.
Marseilles, Francs, April II.—The
coming of Russian troops to the west
ern front has been talked of by mili
tary people for two months. The rea
son. as now explained. Is that It la
easier for Russia to arm and supply -
fighting material to Russian troops
on the western front than on the
eastern.
Russia still has many hundred thou
sand more men under training than she
can use on her own fighting lines be
cause the Russian problem continues
to be not how to get then, but muni
tions. The Allies can provide oomplete
equipment for the Russians more easily
In France than by shipping to Russia.
Possibly a quarter of a million men
will be sent Into France this spring.
The Russians, in camp here, are re- \
celvlng much attention. The author!- ,

men In the camp to be made publia.
