Washington, d. c., May 16.-Fred-

interior department, was dismissed
from the government service today by
a special delivery letter signed by
Secretary Ballinger. 1t stated he was
dismissed because he was unworthy
to remain in the service"
The dismissal of Kerby is another
sensation in the development OF the
Ballinger case in the last three days.
Saturday Kerby made public state
ment in which he told Of the prepar-
alton of the Lawlor memorandum in
Ballinger's office. Following this
Wickersham sent copy Of the mem
orandum which previously could not
be found and the president then ex-
planned the order to Lawlor to frame
q letter and write ''as IL he were presi-

linger investigation is trying to figure
out why, the memorandum could not
be produced despite the numerous spe-
cific requests, until after che publi-
cation of Kerbys statement They
want to know whether the discovery
of Lawior's memorandum was influ-
enced by Kerby's statements.

Kansas City, May 16.-Dr. Hyde
was today convicted of murder in the
first degree, and sentenced to life
Imprisonment for the murder of Col.
Thomas Swope, the Kansas City mil
lionaire, whom it is alleged he pois-
oned for the purpose of inheriting
the Swope millions. The jury had
been out since Friday evening and for
a time it appeared that a verdict
would not be found and that the
Judge would have to declare a mis-
trial.
A great crowd was present when
the verdict was returned Mrs. Hyde
and her husbands sisters were with
Hyde, who was apparently unmoved
when the verdict was read. Mrs.
Hyde burst into wild tears, and was
lead from the court room. Afterward
Hyde was taken into an anteroom
guarded by deputies. and there at
tempted to console his wife. His sis
ters also wept. Hyde was remanded
without bail. Formal sentence will
be pronounced probably on. Thursday
and the attorneys will then move for
new trial and If denied that will
appeal.
Judge Latshaw said: 81 am awfully
sorry for the little woman" referring
to Mrs. Hyde. 81 will give the at
torneys the full limit time in asking
for new trial and preparing an ap-
peal"
DR.. Hyde was convicted on the in
dictment charging him with the muir
der of Thomas SwOpe, and there are
ten other indictments, one charging
him with the murder of Chrisman
Swope, the colonels nephew, who
died of typhoid fever and one charg-
ing him with manslaughter of Colonel
Moss Hunton, whom it is alleged Hyde
bled to death.
The eight others charged Hyde
with attempting to innoculate other
members of the Swope family with
typhoid fever germs.

SW|TzLER.S ISLAND
IN L|MEl|GHT AGAIN
EARNHART REGAINS
POSSESSION FOR AWHILE
Another Chapter in Controversy Writ
ten-Judge WOlverton's Injunction
Reversed in San Francisco Court of
Appeals.

Another chapter has been written
in the controversy for possession of
Switzler's island in the Columbia riv-
er, northwest of Pendleton. 1t will
be remembered that in March, 1909,
F. E. Earnhart Jumped" the island
which had been in possession of j.
B. Switzler for 20 years and took
armed possession. He alleged that it
had never been legally obtained by
Switzler and was unsurveyed govern
ment land.
Switzler brought suit to obtain pos
session and secured an injunction from
Federal Judge Wolverton, which put
Earnhart off the land and gave
through his attorney, D. w. Bailey,
appealed to the United States circuit
court of appeals at San Francisco and
secured reversal of the degree. The
San Francisco court held that VOL
verton's court had no jurisdiction, so
the decree was reversed and the case
remanded with instructions for Judge
Wolverton to dismiss. This gives
possession to Earnhart, at least tenn
porarily.
The island contains so acres of land,
much Of which is valuable for the pro-
duction of alfalfa.
