C. Hyde as a man whose evil propensities led him dur- “ing Wr boyhood to torture antmala. In later life to abuse the poor and helpfiess, and In the fullness of pro fessional success to conceive the most colosaal murder plot In the history o# crtmlnaTltfT^ Attorney Jilnea AV Reed made the opening statement for the State In the physician's trial at Kansas City Monday. Hyde Is charged with polsonjng bis wife’a father and members of his family so aa Mrs. Hyde woulflTnherit . afl the wealth of her father. In leading up to the motive which the State claims caused the alleged mur- . drra to be committed, Mr. Reed ex plained an overpowering gree^ for money had manlsfested Itself In Dr. Hyde. With a purpose of adding to his wvajth, said Mr. Reed, the physlclnn made love to women and then ob tained money from them. The deaths of Col. Thomas H. and Chriaman Swope and of James Moss Hunton were dealt with In detail. The charges that Dr. Hyde was responsible for the spread of typhoid fever in the Swope house, and that on throe occasions he tried to poison Miss Margaret Swope, composed a considerable part of the address The story of Col. James H. Hun- ton's death was made a little more clear. According to the statement, Dr. O. T. Twyman protested against Dr. Hyde treating Hunton to such sa extent as he |ld. Dr. Hyde was In dlctad (or negligently killing Hun ton bf bleedlfrg.’ “The charge that brings the der fendant to this b|r of Justice Is th^t of .having with delltwratlon. premed itation and cold and calculating pur poae murdered one of (Missouri's dis- , tlngulahed citizens, the kinsman of . hit wife, a benefactor to him,” said Mr. Reed In opening his addreas The proper Investigation of this ' charge compels, the State believes, delving Into a aeries of crimes each of which la a part and parrel of a gigantic acheme of criminality, an Investigation of a sequence of laF- Invading wrongs so far-reaching, »0 tremendous and ruthless ‘in Its con ception and partial execution, as fo k challenge the horror and astonish ment of the world and to stand with out parallel In the annals of crime iBarllec In .his address Mr. Reed dwelt at oome length upon the intro duction of Dr. Hyde into the Swope family Mra. Swope, when Importun ed by the physician to give him the hand of her daughter, atarted an Investigation of the physician and thus said the attorney, Hyde's char acter was first shown to her in Its true light. Regarding the Inquiry, he said: “Her investigation disclosed the fact that he was i>os»eBsed of abnormally cruel tendencies; that as a boy he tortured animals, a characteristic whloh manifested Itself when as a man and a physician he held the pos ition of city surgeon and in thatpoa- IMon he so demeaned himself toward the unfortunate pauper patients that fell to Jils charge that he was dis charged for cruelties. “The specific occasslon for his dls- dlscbarge was the Injection of oil of ^mustard Into the body of an unfor tunate woman who was in his charge aa police surgeon. “Mrs. Swope's further * effort* disclosed upon hlg part an abnormal longing for money. In the gratifi cation of hla desire, though in reas onably good practice, he made love to women and under the guise of a Sweetheart obtained from them large riiBt °f money, amounting to thoidB ands of dollars. It transpired also that he had been a grave robber." The deaths In the household were taken up chronologically, Mr. Reed attempting to show that Dr. Hyde had planned his conquest of the wealth of the Swope helra with cun- " ning. The first step, according to Mr Reed, was to do away with Hunton, an executor of the Swope estate, and then get posession himself. There for, said Reed, the physician drew two quarts of blood from Hunton's bo4y after he had been stricken by apoplexy and in four minutes Hun ton was dead. “Within an hour after Hunton died he requested Miss Kellar, a nurse, to Intercede with Col. Swope,” said Reed, "to the end that he, Hyde, b« made executor In Hunton's place. This was declined by Miss Kellar.” Details of Col. Swope’s death were then entered Into. It was rehearsed "tcrw; af^ftw ordsr-of Dr, Hyde, Mbs Kellar gave Col. Swope a capsule. . Convulsions ensued. Again at Hyde s orders a hypodermic Injection was given. Death fol’owed. Having com pleted (he history of the case tc this point, Mr.' Reed said; “The foregoing pvldence might be said to be the first evidential chap ier that makes plain the plan and scheme of Dr. Hyde to accomplish an acqnisRlon ot a large pa t of th? fortune, testimony that will be in- t-oduced will be Indicative of the that the next move In th* car- nit of tfcb plan and purp*s> ^^ffcmhirs »f aa might be i > the rouWi swell hi* eootrol.” Pi The dead ere.

The wreck was caused by the en gine leaving the trgck and plunging down a fifteen-foot _embankment, carrying with It the baggege car. mall, library car and two Pullmans The remainder of the train remained on th* track. The wreckage caught fire and the bodies of the dead mall clerk# were cremated. Col. Wm. C. Crane, of New Or leans, who was officer of the day during the recent 3hrin£r drills at New Orleans, was on the train and organized a relief crew, taking the passengers out through the windows Procuring fire extinguishers from the mail car, Mr. Crane and his fel low passengers played streama on the flames In an effort to rescue the mail clerks, but without any effect on the fire. .t A few of the passengers sustain ed minof bruises, but none were seriously Injured.

He reach ed New York with absolutely n< Ideas, so far as willing to admit about ‘ the political affairs 'n tnls country. “The late subject of my trip” he said, “was a study of economic and sociological conditions in South America “ “What are the chances of the Democratic party?” "Good, always good," was Bryan's reply. He thought the chances of the party In the com Ing congressional election unusually bright. He was asked if he would consider another candidacy for presidency. “I have said all I am going to say on that subject," he replied emphatical ly. “I think my position Is under stood perfectly. He hardly thought it necessary to deny stories that he was to become a candidate for the United States Senate and that he was going to embrace the prohibition movement. AT MERCY OF TRUSTS OHIO LEGISLATIVE committee SO REPORTS. Drowned by Automobile. IMargaret Brennan, a nurse, twen ty-two years of age, was drowned in two feet of water in Muck Creek, 19 miles from Tacoma, Wash., Friday, being ptnlonpd under an automobile. Saye Price# Paid the Farmer Are Beat Down While Prices to Re tailers Are flaised Up. Ohio *food consumers are at the mercy of the truete says a report of the food probe committee appointed by the Ohio Legislature to Investl- gate the cause of high prices. The committee says: “The responsibility for high prices lies chiefly at the door of the pack ers, who beat down the prices paid to the farmer and put up the prices paid by the IlttltOTB. “Storage refrlegeratlon and spec ulation, the packers, ~the exporter and the prlcemaker are the princi pal conditions and causes responsi ble for high prices.” It la declared that there are 50,- 000 trusts In America, including as sociations of dealers and simular or ganizations, and all have contribu ted to the advanced cost of living. The report goes on to say; “Residents of cities are capitaliz ed and forced to yield dividends with out regard to the law of supply and demand. Free trade between pro ducer and consumer has been elim inated, selling to consumers at wholesale rates Is forbidden by the manufacturer or some association The retailer's profit on trust-made goods Is reduced so low that he is forced to overcharge on other com moditles or give short wei-ghts.' The federal tariff law is atteked as sheltering monopolies. Increase in food production could not bene fit either city people or wage ear ners—those who suffer most from the high living cost—the committee points out, because the laboring peo ple’s wages are under trust control If there were an increase in produc tion, it Is asserted, the trusts would simply reap greater profits by eclil"« K more and paying less to the pro ducers. Jn 14 years all prices have ad vanced, according to the committee, at least 61 per cent., as against an fncreae in wages of 40 p^r cent.

Stewart and the appearance of typhoid fever in the Swope residence followed. This ty phoid could not have come from the water uood, it was said, because the water came from a cistern and was well filtered. It was on the occas slon of Dr. Hyde’s taking dinner with the Swope family on November 25 that he is thought to have spread the germs, it was said. The alleged attempt of Dr. Hyde to poison Margaret Swope was then taken up. Mr. Reed said: ““One night while the girl was sup posed to be almost recovered from typhoid, a nurse learned that Hyde had given her a hypodermic Injec tion. “When asked why he had made the injection, Hyde replied that he had only given oil of camphor for Intermittent pulse. Miss Swope de nied the physician felt fyr, nulee and the nurse found no odor like oil of champhor. “A sore has recently developed upon the girl’s arm and the State believes it Is due to the physician's Injection of some of the germs he ob tained from Dr. Twyman Into this member. “A few days after th* Injection In cident. Dr. Hyde left a capsui# among the medicines belonging the girt. A nurse administered the capsule. Miss Swope was seiz'd with conTuleloes. An examination of the contents of her stomach showed It, fo be strfChnlhe." A significant feature of that sec tion of the statement which rr'erred ro Hyde's purchasing poison was the reference to th- store of th* drug* being burned recently. Trembling and tVylng Man Dies in Electric Chair. Showing fear In every movement and expressing It in a voice that tremblingly muttered "Oh, GodI oh, God!" Efirl . B. Hill, convicted on May 7, 1909, of the murder on Aug net, 26, 1908, of Eldridge Davis, a farmer, living at Balnbridge, Chen- ago county,, N. Y., was put to death In the electric chair in Auburn pris- •on Tuesday. One contact of 1,850 volts at eight amperes and of a minutes' duration was all that was required to carry the law's mandates into effect. Hill passed his 21st birthday In the pris on four days ago. His crime had as Its motives revenge and robbery. He and David H Borst, now a life convict in th* prison,, murdered Davis In his pasture lot. Six shots were fired into the victim. Then they robbed the body of a gold watch, the only thing of value that they could find. Borst, first arrested, laid the crime upon Hill. The latter, suspected of the murder, surrendered on August 30. He was placed on trial at Norwich on May 7th, was found guilty and sentenced to death COMMON LIAR AND SLANDERER That Is What Horvle Jordan Says Tom Watson Is. Harvie Jordan, former editor of the Cotton Journal, of Atlanta, an nounces his intention of appearing at once before Fulton county's grand Jury and charging Ton. E. Watson, editor of the Jeffersonian, with libel. “I mean to press the charges against Mr. Watson without delay,” said Mr. Jordan Monday, so, as the grand Jury meets again Thursday, it is probable that Mr. Jordan's charges will be presented to It then. In a recent Issue of the Weekly Jeffersonian Mr. Watson made cer tain charges against Mr. Jordan in connection with the Cotton Journal and the Southern Cotton association In a letter dated Atlanta, April 16th, Jordan responded by a vigor ous denial of everything said by Watson reflecting upon him, and said he proposed to present Watson's "slanderous accusations to the Ful ton county grand jury and make him prove his charges or stand convicted as a common liar and slanderer.” THIRD REGIMENT HONORED By Being Selected to Go to Chica- mauga This Summer. iThls State's allotment for man euvers this summer being only $23,- r 0W. sufficient to pay subsistence and transpartation, Gen.

BSlgh- The Democratic Victory Has Liitle Hearing on State Politics Except as Regards the Issue of “Boss- Ism"—Revised Returns Cut Down Haven's Plurality Somewhat. In the first flush of victory the friends of James S. Havens, the Dem- ocrat who was r elected to congress Tuesday by a large plurality in one of the strongest Republican districts In the state of New York, or in fact, in the whole country, are al ready talking Habens„ for governor this fall. Judging from the conser vative tenor of the successful candi date's remarks, however, he accepts his victory as bearing little on the political situation in the State ex cept as regards the issue of “boss- ism.” “This is not wholly a partisan vic tory,’’ said Havens. “It is a victory over the things for which Cannon has stood and for the ideals which Governor Hughes typifies. The Hughes Republicans declare that although Haven's election shows that the people of the district are dissatisfied with the tariff policy of t.he Republican national administra tion and with the political control of George W. Aldridge, Havens' de feated opponent, the result entrench es Governor Hughes and his policy more strongly than ever. (According to Mr»,Havens, the high cost of living was mainly responsible for Tuesday's political revolution. Revised returns from the towns re duce aHvens' plurality slightly, mak ing the figures 5,4 4 0 for the dis trict.

Jennings Bryan and Presi dent Taft spent more than an hour closeted together at the White House late Tuesday. The two great trav- elfers exchanged reminiscences, it is said, and both commented upon how well the other was looking. The President rather intimated that be ing beaten at the polls did not seem to be such a bad thing for one's health and happiness after all. “The call was purely a social one," said Mr. Bryan. “Did you discuss the tariff bill?" wa« asked. "No," smiled the Nebraskan. "We forgot ail about it." "Or politics?” "No. that did not occur to us eitJier." Roth the President and Mr. Bryan seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed the quiet chat, Mr. Bryan walked in Democratic fashion to the White House. He was received with unus ual courtesy by the attaches and was shown without a moment's delay in to the President's office. Mr. Bryan left at 7.55 Tuesday night for Lin coln. Neb. WANTS MONEY WASHED.

Mr. MaeVeagh exhibited a dollar bill, half of which had been washed in chemicals at the Philadelphia mint and the other half left as it was when received. There was the same noticeable difference as in a clean collar and one worn a week without changing. Mr. MaeVeagh said the govern ment would save from $200,000 to $600,000 annually by washing its paper currency instead of destroying It.

A correspondent of The State writ ing from Batesburg call attention to a new cotton pest, which he says has acquired a keen appetite for the cot ton plant. This enemy is the “tet- ranychus gloveri,” commonly %nown as the "red spider.’’ He Is a spider by virtue of the fact that he has four pair of legs, Instead of three, and would not be considered such in the common acceptance Of the term. He Is rather a “mite,” and his presence would hardly be noticed except for the effect that his rapacious appe tite has on growing vegetation. iL. O. Howard, who is chief ento mologist In the bureau of entomol ogy, which is a branch of the United States department of agriculture has made two recent trips to South Caro lina in the study of the “red spider.’' At present H. T. Wilson, who is con fleeted with the bureau, has head quarters at Batesburg and is devot ing practically his entire time to a study of the pest. And to means of its era-dification. In his study of pests he has traveled over most of cotton States, devoting much time to those along the Atlantic Coast. Mr. Wilson states that the red spider is found in practically every portion of the cotton belt. In some sections the spider is scarce, but in others it is becoming quite preva lent. It begins early In the year, probably living on other vegetation till the cotton Is up. But little dam age, however, is usually apparent, until July or August, unless the weather is very dry. It usually works on the underside of the leaf The egg from which it come is described as a “minute translucent pearl-like object,” found only oy close observation, and then only to the initiated. The egg Is hatched In four or five days when the mite im mediately Is busy helping to bull the market, although it takes from 10 to 14 days before it can claim ma turity. The distribution of the mile Is effected In several ways. It Is not much for walking, and flying is an Impossibility, so he has keen observed ' traveling ovef fhe country riding Insects. The grass hopper seems to be Its favorite steed. If th* convenience of his choice is slow in arriving It will get on the first vehicle coming along, unless it happens to be a water wagon. It is adverse to water, and has never been known to thrive in rainy weath er. It will get on the clothes of laborers and then get back on the cotton further down the row. The chief method of combating the mite is by proper culture—rotation of crops, deep ploughing in fall and winter, the destruction of all vege tation after crop is gathered, and keeping down weeds and grass in the spring Powdered sulphur is used to destroy the mite, and sprays of sulpher and lime, or of sulpher and lye are also used. There are other mixtures that are more or less effective, but those containing sul phur have been found to be the b-wt. In determining the attack of the red spider, or “rust mite,” as he is sometimes called, attention is call ed to the facts from Mr. Howard's circular on the subject. "Th* earlier attacks of the mite are quite characteristic; the leaves presenting on the upper side near the base a scarlet appearance, which, occurring at first between the larg er ribs, gradually spreads over the leaf as the mites multiply, then dies out and is replaced by a dirty yel low, the leaf finally shriveling and falling to the ground. Larger and older leaves show the effect of the attack before younger leaves." Of his trips to South Carolina dur ing 1904 and 1 905 Mr. Howard has the following observation: "In sev eral instances it was noticed that from a point on the margin of a field where there were growing large poke-berry plants the infestation by the r*d spider had spread over a fan shaped area of the adjoining cotton. At that time of the year (July and August) these weeds, as well as the cockleburr showed the ef fect of the red spider's work.” It will be well for the cotton grow ers, especially in this section, to keep a sharp lookout for the first indi cations of the spider. Its appear ance is not hard to detect, nor is it any considerable trouble to control in favorable weather; but permitted to multiply it will attack large areas, and its presence in hurtful quantities cannot be determined for in the sea son when it Is too late to accomplish much. The first signs should be re ported to Mr. Wilson, who will be able to give valuable advice, and, If circumstances justify, will make a personal visit to the infected field. A SERIES OF TRAGEDIES.
