when his counsel appeared 60 be about
to accept q nsan the prisoner leaned
forward and whispered to his lawyer
shaking his head in an emphatic way
whereupon the man IN the chair was
promptly rejected.
The prominence Of DR. BfoWwer, who
Is one of the best known physicians In
the county, and the wide publicity
given to the case made it difficult to

Treyonian Hser and Miss Elizabeth
Hyer, brother and sister Of the dead
woman, have for a year persistently
urged the legal authorities to prosecute
the physician upon the charge Of caus
ing his wife's death on Sept, %, 1908.
Mrs. Bronwer's relatives had opposed
her marriage to the physician years
ago, ana stories Of their Quarrels, bis

sisters dying words, construed as IN
accusation, were repeated to the pubIis
prosecutor.
Arsenic and ground glass are said tc

Hyer and his sister, who are wealthy
say Nley have positive evidence or the
physicians guilt and that they will re.
veal new and startling evidence that

lieve that Brouwer is innocent have
contributed $500 to aid In his defense,
The case against Dir. Brouwer In It's
principal allegations resembles those Of
Carlyle Harris and DR.. Buchanan. In

FORT SCOTT. Kan. Oct. 9.--Wil-
liam J. Bryan made his first Kansas
speech of this campaign here He said
in part:
II am glad to come to Kansas, and
I am glad TO find a spirit here that we
have not always found in politics. In
fact, unless l am very much mistaken,
we are approaching time when we
can consider public measures with less
of partisanship than we have before in
generations.
81 can remember when | first enter
ed politics that there was such a
strong feeling in regard to parties that
1t was almost impossible for a man
belonging to any one party to find any
thing good in another party. This
state mas done much to break down the
old feeling President Roosevelt has
done good deal to convince the pub
lie that there is something good in the
Democratic platforms. He had the
courage to take up some of the re-
forms the Democrats advocated before
his party had advocated them.
"The president has done much good.
don't know what he might have done
had he had an environment favorable
to reform. He has done remarkable
things for a man who had to fight his
leaders all the way through"

FINDI.AY, O.. Oct Enlarged with
conspiracy against trade lna violation
of the antitrust laws of tie state, the
Standard Oil company of Ohio. and its
alleged constituent companies, the
Buckeye Pipe Line and the Manhattan
oil company, We're placed on trial here
today before Judge Gideon q. Banker
and a jury In the probate court OF
Hancock county.
In the original information filed by
County Prosecutor William L. David,
John ID. Rockefeller was made party
to the suit, but through the granting OF
a request for a separate trial MIR.
Rockefeller will not be called as de-
PENDANT until the case against the COM
pany has been disposed of. Mr.. Rookie
Teller, it Is said, will not be summoned
as witness and will not attend the
trial.
The information. to which plea of
not guilty was entered, alleges that the
formation OF a Standard OIL trust"
in 1882 and its continuance to the pres.
ent time In domination of the oil in-
"
statutes of the state.
II the manner of instituting the suit
by information instead Of by grand
jury indictment-and the jurisdiction
assumed by the probate court are mp
held in the higher state courts the case
will assume added Importance as In
dicating an easier and more direct
method for action against alleged trade
conspiracies.
Both the manner Of bringing the suit
and tie jurisdiction OF the probate
court were questioned by the attorneys
for the defense. but Judge Banker de-
cided against them on all points. and
no appeal can be taken on these pre-
liminary questions until after the case
has been tried.
Judge Banker ruled that violation
of the Valentine law constituted a mis-
demeanor and that the last session OF
the legislature gave probate courts
concurrent jurisdiction with common
pleas courts over all misdemeanors.
