GARNER SAYS NEXT
HOUSE Is DEMOCRATIC
Champ Clark Is Going to Be
the Speaker, Says Texas
Congressman.

Washington, D. c., June 9.-Renewed
assurance based on the result Of letters
to every congressional district in the
United States, that the next house will
be Democratic and the assertion that
Champ Clark will be the next speaker
were features of a statement given to
the press here today by congressman
John n. Garner. Of Texas, who is act
ing as whip for the minority in the
house.
Garner said: I'VE will win a great
victory in this falls elections and the
next congress undoubtedly will be
Democratic. This will result from the
Payne Aldrich tariff law. The Lemo
Gratis are united and the Republicans
are split. The prospect of defeat. which
grows more apparent daily, seems to
irritate the present majority. Cannon's
New York speech that the insurgents
ought to be hanged was not exactly
like pouring oil on troubled waters.
Naturally in view Of the impending
defeat of the Republicans, the Demo-
Gratis are looking forward to the cleo
ton of a speaker and Champ Clark, of
Missouri, is certain to be the choice de-
spite reports circulated by his oppo-
nents for political effect. I believe
Clark's name will be the only one con-
sfdered by the caucus"

RAILROADS APPEAL TO
PUBLIC AND SHIPPERS
Ask That Their Request for Better
Rates Be Given Consideration in
PrOpcr Business Light


Rates Be Given Consideration in
Proper Business Light.
New York, n. Y, June 9.-The gen
eral executive committee of the railway
business association, which within its
membership, represents $500, 0O0 0OG of
invested capital and which speaks for
a group of industries giving employ
nent to 100000 workingmen and upon
which 100000 people depend for sup
port. has given out a statement ad-
dressed to congress, to the railroads,
to the shippers and to the public.
The appeal TO the shipper asks that
they look upon the railways precisely
as they would look upon any other con-
Germ for whose solvency the manage
ment not the government, is respon-
sible. and says: "A going concern must
have an adequate revenue. The present
problem involves not merely the
amount which the railroad shall receive
for carrying a consignment but its
ability to carry 1t at all. 1t embraces
not alone the transp ortation efficiency
but general prosperity. We suggest to
the heads of freight paying enterprises
that they study this question at first
hand in the broadcast way. By so do
ing, they may conclude that an ad-
vance may be for their own best in
terests'''
The statement to the public urges
that it frankly concede to the railways
the necessity for adequate revenue and
await with patience and good nature
the findings of the commission as to
the reasOnableness of proposed rates.

EVIDENCE IS CIRCUMSTANTIAL
BY, JUDGE IN IN
STRUcTloN TO JURY.
Prosecutor Openly Assails Hyde of
Committing Two
Murders.

Kansas City, May 12.-Attention
was directed by the court in the
Swope case to the fact that all evil
dence against DIR. Hyde was circum-
stantial BY virtue of the law in this
state the instructions to the jury were
read before the attorneys began their
arguments.
Assistant Prosecutor Henry l.. Jost
opened the argument for the state
talking two hours. Three more
speeches will be made by each side.
Ten hours are given to each set of
attorneys to make their addresses.
Mr.. Jost's attack on DR.. Hyde was so
severe that he was reprimanded by
the court several times, following OBJ
jections of DR.. Hyde's counsel.
The attorney openly assailed the
physician as the murderer of Col and
Chrisman Swope and James Moss
Hunton, and accused him of attempt
ing to kill Margaret Swope and max
ing ill other members of the Swope
family. The main part of Mr.. Jost's
address was confined to the illness
and death of Col Swope. However,
every point of the testimony was
| touched upon by the attorney.
Dr. Hyde's alleged crimes were COM
mitted, said Mr.. Jost, for the purpose
of obtaining money. The attorney
pointed out how the death of Colonel
Swope would benefit Mrs. Hyde to
the extent of about $275,000; and the
! death of Chrisman and Margaret
| Swope, each, $4,000. He also told Of
Col. Swope's plan to give $1,500,OO0
| to the poor of Kansas City.
If DR.. Hyde used the proper course
in bleeding James Moss Hunton, said
Mr.. Jost, he treated Col. Swope i'm
properly provided the latter had apo
plexy.
DR.. Hyde became attentive to the
Swope family during the typhoid cpl
demic merely to have chance to com.
nit crimes he is charged with, argued
the attorney.
The testimony of DR.. and Mrs. Hyde
averred Mr.. Jost, had been carefully
rehearsed by the defendant and his
wife.

Omnibus Indian Bill Passed.

Washington, May 12.-The omnibus
Indian bill amounting to revision of
the Indian land laws was passed by
the house.
A limit to the allotment of public
land to Indians is fixed by the bill.
Under the present law it is claimed
that Indians have secured patents for
two or three tracts Of land. This is
accomplished by the repeal of the sec
ton of the statute which makes it pos
sible for anyone who can prove that
he has the least Indian blood to take
up land at any place on the public do
main.
It is provided that the purchase of
Indian supplies shall be made as are
all other government supplies. This
will result in the advertisement for
bids on Indian supplies and do away
with the present system of handling
this business entirely through the
warehouses.
