Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, treasurer,
resigned their positions

declared their successors must be ap-

R CHIT OF WAY NOW
ENTIRELY SECURED

That he has reached a satisfactory
settlement with the o. r. & n. COM
pany regarding a right Of way through
his property five miles west of PEN
dleton, is stated by George Roberts,
who also says the company now has a
complete right of way for all the line
changes between Yoakum and PEN
dleton. The Estes suit was settled by
compromise. The. delay in the nego-
tiations over the right through Mr.
Roberts place was due to the fact that
an engineer had to pass upon the plan
for caring for an irrigation ditch that
will be affected. In speaking today
of his settlement with the company
Mr.. Roberts declared that ]. B. Eddy,
right of way man for the company
acted with the greatest fairness and
courtesy during the right of way ne
gotiations.

Kansas City. April 2O.-Pearl Kel-
Ter, the nurse who attended Col.
Swope during the latter years of his
illness, testified today for the state
against DIR. Hyde. The opposing
lawyers battled for several hours over
the admission of the nurses testimony
regarding the death of Colonel Moss
Hunton, friend of SwOpe and des-
gnated by him as the executor of the
Swope estate.
Judge Latshaw overruled the de-
fense and admitted the testimony.
Following the judges ruling, at
torneys for the defense announced
that in case of an adverse verdict
they would make the ruling one of
the grounds for an appeal. The coun-
sci for DIR. Hyde entered continual
objections to the remarks of the judge
while he was ruling.
In the course of his remarks, Judge
Iatshaw said: THE motive alleged
was that Hyde thought who ever
stands between me and the Swope
millions shall die. Hunton shall
die The state says the defendant
bled Hunton to death. AS a part of
the s-me alleged plot he is accused
of having poisoned Col. Swope. The
argument of defense is an absolute
waste of time"
In her testimony Miss Keller told
of DIR. Twyman's efforts to prevent
Hyde from drawing too much blood.
She said Mrs. Hyde also protested.
Miss Keller was also on the stand
yesterday.
Colonel Swope will never return
to Kansas City"
This prophecy, she testified was
made to her by DR.. B. C. Hyde in In
dependence, Mo, a few days before
Colonel-Swope died. She was Colonel
Swope's nurse DIR. Hyde's remark,
said Miss Keller, was made when she
informed the physician Colonel Swope
planned to come here to his office in
few days. Her patient was at that
time, testified the nurse. in better
physical condition than he had been
for weeks. He was able to take daily
drives and seemed in good spirits, she
said.
This was the only important bit of
testimony Miss Keller had given in
the trial yesterday afternoon when a
legal debate arose and she was ex-
cused while the court heard argu-
mentS.
The nurse testified that Hyde drew
two quarts of blood from Hunton She
further testified that Hyde asked her
to use her influence with Colonel
Swope to have him (Hyde) appoint
ed executor of the Swope estate after
the death of Hunton.

LAST YEAR BUDGET

London April 19.-David Lloyd
George, chancellor of the eXchequer
reintroduced last years budget in the
house of commons today. He declar-
ed that he realized that the present
deficit Of s131,24O.OOO would be more
than wiped out when all arrears had
been collected and that there would
be an actual surplus of s14,S00, 900.
If the budget had been passed as
usual last year, he said, there would
have been a surplus of s21 900, 900,
The chancellor commented upon the
remarkable decrease Of 80 per cent
in the consumption of whiskey de-
crease that he attributed mainly to
the extra duty imposed. The loss
in the revenue from spirits as COM
pared with the estimated figure was
$4,000. 900.

Havens in New York Defeats
AIdridge, Republican, for
Congress.
RETURNS SHOW REVOLT
AGAINST IMPURE POLITICS
Democratic Nominee In 32nd District
Secures Majority Of Ballots-New
York Newspapers Comment on tho
Result-Say It Is Reputation OF
Payne -AIdrich Tariff Laws-Polid-
clans Consider Outcome Important.

New York, April 20.-The victory
OF James S. Havens democrat, at Ro-
chester, over George Aldridge, in the
thirty-second district for congress
was the subject of much editorial
comment in all of the leading news
papers here today. The Times de-
clared the returns show more of re-
volt against impure politics adding:
"The people do not agree with Presi-
dent Taft when he says the Payne
Aldrich law Is a good tariff. They
have been unable to agree with his
view Of the works of the old leaders
Of republican organization that just
now is falling to pieces through the
overthrow of Cannon and the an
nounced retirement of Senators AID
rich and Hale" The World says:
Rochester doesn't differ from Bos-
ton or Kansas City in resentlng the
broken republican pledges"
Politicians generally see an import
ant indication of the outcome of the
approaching congressional campaign
in yesterdays election.
Mr.. Havens rode to victory on a
platform advocating tariff reform in
the interests of the consumer a re-
vision of the duties on wool and wool
en- goods: removal of the tax on
hides and lumber. a removal Of the
tariff on iron ore. an income tax, and
finally. advocating independence OF
political bosses.
Mr.. Aldridge. his opponent, con-
tented himself with general procama-
tions in favor of the policies of the
republican administration. On the
tariff proposition he was regarded as
a "standpatter."
Both candidates declared for reci-
procity with Canada, an employers
compensation act, 4 parcels post and
postal savings bank.
The democrats acknowledge one OF
the main factors in today's victory
with n personal issue raised by AID
ridges record as party boss and evil
dence presented at the fire insurance
investigation. Mr.. Aldrirge acknowl-
edged that he heceived n $1,000 check
from Elijah Kennedy. an agent of the
fire insurance companies. but denied
he benefited personally by the trans
fer. He declared he returned the
money into the treasury of the repub-
lican organization.
This so-called moral issue was ta-
ken up by the churches and no less
than 90 clergymen announced them
selves for Havens. Mr.. Aldridge's de-
fense was that his record stood for
itself. Outside OF the district he re-
ceived little II any assistance. Mr.,
Havens, on the other hand, was help
ed by the democratic national COM
mittee, which sent here such speakers
as Charles N. Hamlin of Massachu-
setts. former assistant secretary of
the treasury under President Cleve-
land, and Eugene N. Foss, the newly
elected congressman from the same
state. In spite of the excitement OF
the campaign, the election passed off
quietly with no arrests.
