GOOD NEWS FOR HYDE
Mystery of Where He Secur-
ed Cyanide Is Cleared.

Helena, Mont, Nov. 25.-If DR. B.
C. Hyde gets new trial it will prob
ably be because Joe Edgerton, prom
of the last legislative assembly, saw
Hyde's name in the directory of the
Phil Gamma Delta fraternity. Mr..
Edgerton has told the story of how he
sent Hyde a box of cyanide estimated
at two pounds. and how, over II years
later, he came to let Hyde's attorney
know of this fact.
EdgertOn's statement is considered
of great importance to Hyde, in view
of the fact that the latter during his
trial could not explain to the satisfac-
ton of the jury where he had pro-
cured cyanide which he admitted he
had been using for many years
Edgerton. in his statement, says:
"In April or May, 1893, after having
lost my health in Montana, was on a
crowded train between Cherryvale and
Kansas City. My seat mate was a
young man, whom it afterward devel-
oped was Hyde. l was just able to be
about and our talk naturally hinged
about my illness. and from that we
got to talking about cyanide. Hyde
appeared to be interested in cyanide
and. as had been using the stuff in
mining operations. promised to send
him some

20 spurious diplomas of graduation

The fraud was discovered when one

sent back to the city college. where
no record of the graduation OF the per-

Kansas Governor Is Radical

San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 25.-Rail-
roads and illegal combines were given
sharp raps in resolutions introduced
unanimously adopted by the trans.
Mississippi commercial congress.
One set of resolutions urges the Ma
tional congress to enact legislation
providing for the valuation of railroads
in detail These resolutions conclude:
ut is the fire conviction of this con
vention that the railroads of the trans.
Mississippi country are, on present
rates, earning fair return on any
reasonable and fair basis of valuation
A second set calls upon the National
congress to amend the Sherman anti
trust law, making it mandatory and
providing Imprisonment for all viola
tons.
Another resolution urges congress
to enact law to regulate the issu
ance of stocks and bonds of interstate
railroads without intrenching upon the
right of states to regulate their cor
porate and domestic affairs.
Still another set of. resolutions is
worded thus: -.
THAT we urge upon the interstate
commerce commission that it correct
these abuses by prescribing rates te
the gulf ports which. with due regard
to cost of service and distance. are
reasonable. and which are not based
on rates to and through these so-calle6
gateways plus the rates back over the

$4,000 IS ASKED
FROM GOVERNMENT
To Refund Bonds that a De-
ceased Eccentric Char
acter Had Lost.

FIT. Wayne, Ind, Nov 25-Former
Congressman Clarence C. Gilhams of
Lagrange, has gone TO Washington to
complete the arrangements necessary
for the collection of $4,000 from the
United States government for an old
estate in Lagrange county. 1t is ex-
pected that he will be successful
Ten or IL years ago there died in
Lagrange county an eccentric char
actcr named J. Calvin Kinney. He was
man of wealth. and during the clos
ing years of his life he turned. nearly
all his property into government
bonds. When an administrator was
appointed for the estate, il was impos-
sibIe to find the bonds which c'..stitut-
ed the old mans wealth. though it was
known that he possessed at least $780,
900 in these securities.
Cody Taken From Grave.
In exploring the attic q the home a
small tin can, badly rustei. was found
1t contained more than a score OF
from the bonds, showing that he had
not collected even the interest. Frag-
mentary records about the place gave
the numbers of certain bends held by
the old man, and it was ascertained
that they had never been redeemed
by the government. Heirs in the
south became suspicious and alleged
/ that the old mans wealth had been
buried with him They obtained an
order of court and the body of the
dead man was taken up and very
thorough search made of the grave
and the clothing which enveloped the
body Nothing was found
Bonds Probably Buried.
Little by little. however. evidence
showing the ownership of bonds by
Kinney was collected by the admins
traitor. and the government, was ap
pealed to on behalf of the heirs. They
were able to satisfy the government
authorities of the possession of $4,000
worth of the bonds. and during the
congressional term of Mr. Gilhams hi
/ introduced bill to reimburse the
heirs. This bill was finally carried
through by Congressman Cyrus Cline

STUBS INSPIRED
TO ENFORCE LAWS
Example of Texas Gun Men
Led Kansas Executive to
Use Similar Methods.
american News Service,


San Antonio. Texas, Nov. 25.-Gov.
w. r. Stubs of Kansas, who is one of
the prominent figures at the Trans
Mississippi Commercial congress in
session here, tells an interesting story
of his first inspiration for law enforce
ment. The executive, who has be-
come a national figure since taking Of
flee. because of his enforcement of the
laws in Kansas says that the quick,
effective work of the gun-carrying
Texas Ranger in the suppression of
the bad man" led him to apply that
principle to his public life. Il was
building railway. from Twist, Texas,
to the Canadian river, about 20 miles,
in 1901 and 1902" said the governor.
1T was during the time the Rock Is
land was building over to Ell Paso. The
life was rough, smacking very much
of the frontier times, and the thing
that impressed me most was the splen-
did enforcement of the law by the
Rangers. Our camps were filed with
boot-leggers, bad men, and gamblers.
At times, they gave us SO much
trouble, we had to appeal to the law.
The effective work of the Rangers in
cleaning them out made such an inn
preston of vigorous enforcement that
will never forget it, and l have been
trying to do the same thing in Kansas
in the enforcement of the laws on the
state statute books. / admire the
Texas people, because they mean what
they say. and they do what they prom
Use. You people enforce your cor
poration laws here in way that it
would we'll behoove the United States
to do. Why. if the laws on the statute
books were enforced in Texas, we
would never hear of the railroads of
the country combining to raise the
freight rates by $400.000,000. We
would have them tied up in short or

This is an executive duty. 1t Is
the enforcement of criminal statute
under our Sherman antitrust law
which prohibits the railroads from
combining in restraint of trade. The
states have control only of matters in
the limits of the states. Therefore,
this is distinctly up to federal govern
ment.

west as he ever was. The west is all

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-On the
whole, the sixteen great mountain
states of the west gained four sub
stantial benefits at the hands of the
session of congress now closed.
These victories were non-partisan
victories in every sense Of the word.
Patriotic and progressive Republicans
and Democrats Joined hands to Sc
cure such legislation as would remove
unreasonable strangle-holds on the
lands of the west, so that regions
now worthless because of forced idle
ness, may be opened to settlement.
The three Colorado Democrats of
the house were always in the fore
front of the battle, cooperating with
the far-western Republicans. Repre-
sentative Taylor of Colorado. a mem
ber of the public lands committee,
deserves the thanks of each of the
sixteen far western states for hard
fighting.

Appropriation of $20,00O,O for

Provision that homesteaders under

years residence, and allow their as
signees TO pay government for land.
About 100000 acres of so-called
withdrawn coal lands in Colorado
will be subject to agricultural entry
as a result of the passage of the

that perhaps half of this 100000
