WANT ROOSEVELT
TO GO TO SENATE
Party Needs Personality Of Great
Traveller to Make Sure Of New
York State.

Washington, April 2S.-Theodore
Roosevelt for the United States senate
as successor to Chauncey Depew. This
is the way the political prophets and
wisacres in Washington have the sit
uation in New York state figured out
They arrived at the conclusion from
many different viewpoints, but there
apparently is a consensus Of opinion
that this suggestion offers a solution
to multitude of problems confront
ing the republican party, not only in
the Empire state, but in the nation at
large.
In the general discussion of the sit
uation growing out Of the appointment
of Governor Hughes to the supreme
court bench 1t already has been agreed
that his retirement from politics
leaves Colonel Roosevelt as the prob
able dictator Of the party in New-York
state. n.
The party leaders in Washington
realize, and they believe Mr. Roose-
welt will come to realize the same
thing, that the exigencies in New York
demand strong factor in the race this
fall II the republicans are to gain sue
cess at the polls.
With Roosevelt as candidate for the
senate, it is predicted that the republi-
can party would easily retain control
OF the legislature and that the Roose-
ivelt personality in the campaign would
bring success to the entire state ticket.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 2S.-Thomas
H. Swope, Jr., testified in the criminal
court today as to how he had found
the capsules, which DR.. Hyde had
thrown away on the street and recog-
nized the odor they emitted as cyanide
Of potassium DR.. Hyde was about
three feet from him when the capsules
were thrown away, said Swope. The
physician stamped them into the snow
after dropping them, testified the wit
ness. In SO far as Swope knew, DR..
Hyde did not know his actions were
observed by anyone. Accompanied by
John G. Paxton, said Swope, he made
a second visit to the point where he
seen DR.. Hyde and they found frag-
ments Of three capsules. All the parts
of capsules were sent to Chicago and
the chemists announced that they
found traces of cyanide in them.
After smelling wet cyanide, on the
hand of Hugo Brecklein in the court
room, Miss Van Nuys said it was the
same drug she smelt on the hand of
Swope after he had handled the cap
sules he picked up in the street.
DR.. B. C. Hyde's bond of 100000
was revoked and the physician was
placed in the county Jail by order OF
Judge Latshaw at the close of the
criminal court session last night. This
action means that Hyde will remain
in Jail until declared innocent by the
jury or permitted by the court tc
furnish new bond.
This action by the court was due
to the nature Of the evidence present
ed by the state against Hyde yester
day. Without notifying anyone of his
intention Judge Latshaw summoned
Joe L. B. Mayes, county Marshal into
the court room, after the jury had beer
removed, and said: 'In view of the
testimony that has thus far been Civ
en- in the trial, the court is constrain
ed to say that it amounts to the pre-
sumption that under the law, deprives
the defendant of the right to go OF
bond, and he is hereby remanded tt

he finished and she then threw hel
arms around her husbands neck ant
sobbed Historically.
BE brave, little GIRL said DR.
Hyde as he embraced her.
Mrs. Logan o. Swope arose from hei
seat and hurried from the court room
as soon as she understood the import
of the judges words. Later, when
she met Mrs. Hyde, standing with the
attorney in the hall, sobbing, she pass
ed quickly by, and boarded an auto
mobile and went home
Scarcely had the court ceased speak
ing when Attorney John Lucas rep.
resenting Hyde, had the following
statement entered upon the record:

the remanding of him to the county
jail, pending the trial Of his case, will
have the effect OF prejudicing his right

as a declaration ON the part of the
