POISON TESTS FAULTY,
SWEARS HYDE EXPERT
Vaughn's Analysis for Strychnine
in Col. SWope's Liver
Criticised

KANSAS CITY, May 5.-Testifying
at the Hyde trial today, DR.. Walter
M. Cross, city chemist of Kansas City,
branded the analysis made by Dr. Vic
tor c. Vaughn on the liver of Col
Swope as incomplete.
Ninety per cent of the substance that
remained when DR.. Vaughn made his
final estimate of the amount of poison
in the organ might have been foreign,
said Dr. Cross. The witness pointed
out that as Col. Swope had used a
tonic containing cinchodine, this drug
would remain after the process DR..
Vaughn used had been completed.
No claim was made by DR.. Vaughn
that he got entirely pure strychnine
from the liver of Col. Swope. He said
the foreign matter was so small, how
ever, that he could make good es-
innate of the amount of poison pre-
sent.
S. w. Spangler, for several years
business agent for the millionaire,
said Mr.. Swope drank heavily until
eleven months before his death. The
millionaire was user of patent medi-
cines and remedies containing strych-
nine, said Spangler.
While the defense interposed num-
erous objections, the state brought out
that Col. Swope on the day before his
death, told Spangler he would be in
Kansas City within a few days to
make a new will disposing of the resi-
due of his estate.
Typhoid fever, uraemic poisoning, or
meningitis, said DR.. f. w. Froehling,
often caused convulsions similar to
those produced in the cases of Thomas
H. Chrisman and Margaret Swope.

Throat and Stomach Trouble

Mr.. Carl Reiche suffered for

WHY CLUB CAN'T SEE WHY
COUNTY SHOULD DIVIDE

At a meeting of the "Why club at
the Young Mems Christian association
last evening the subject discussed was:
Resolved That the city and county
governments of Los Angeles be merged
into one"
According to the general opinion of
the members of the "Why club" it
would be absurdity itself for such a
consolidation to become effective, be-
cause of the widely spread territory
comprising the county of Los Angeles.
A debate on the subject of county
division followed. The affirmative was
taken by Messrs. Bell and Harker,
while the negative, which was accorded
the victory, was supported very ably
by Messrs. King and Arnoldy. r. w.
Law acted as critic.
Next Thursday the Why club MEM
bers will meet at the Association build
ing on Hope treet and enjoy the usual
monthly dinner in the banquet room.

OREGON Gets BIC
BOOST IN SENATE
Senator Bourne Praises States
Election SYSTEM and SoIons
Fall Into Line
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON May 5.-Commend-
ing the election system of his state,
Senator Bourne of Oregon In an ex-
tended speech in the senate today
aroused general debate on the ques-
tion of representative government
which dealt especially with the effect
on the southern states of the system
of selecting federal officials in that
.section.
Mr. Bourne dwelt in terms of ad-
miration on the methods of conducting
elections and selecting off1ceholders in
Oregon. No sooner had he taken his
seat than Senator Bacon of Georgia
entered upon a plea for more voice in
the appointment of federal Officials for
the southern states
When Mr. Bourne concluded, Senator
Brown of Nebraska asked general con-
sent that $4,000 copies of the speech be
printed for circulation, but Mr. CALM
ger objected
Mr. Brown spoke of the speech as
remarkable one" and said it had dem
onstrated that the Oregon system was
no longer an experiment.
The Georgia senator's speech evoked
extended remarks by Senator Carter of
Montana, who advocated taking the
postoff1ce out of politics.

NOW WILL YOU BE GOOD,
RAILROADS.&C. SAYS HOUSE

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Represen-
tative Knowland of California, offered
an amendment to the railroad bill to-
DAY providing that when a railroad,
in competition with a water route,
lowered a rate, it should not be per-
mitted to increase the rate until, in
a hearing before the interstate com
merce commission, it had shown rea-
son for the increase aside from the
question of the water route
Democrats, insurgents and some reg
ular Republicans, even members of the
committee reporting the bill, support
ed Mr.. Knowland's amendment, which,
it was said, would prevent railroad
from eliminating water route compe-
tition by a low rate and then Increase
the rate as soon as the competition
was removed.
BY 1O6 to II the amendment, was
adopted

HURRY BACK, PAULHAN!
HERE'S A NEW WRINKLE
Exhaust and Suction System to
Impart Great Speed to
Aerial Craft

H. c. Berry mining man, long resident
of California, who, in his spare time, delights
in plttng his ingenuity against difficult me-
chancal problems, has evolved method of
propulsion for aircraft which he believes Is
destined to revolutionize the theories by which
1t is now sought to improve navigation of the
air, and will make airships of both the lighter
and heavier than air types Immediately prac-
ticable commercially
Setting about to discover substitute for
the screw propeller which. while the only
successful means of propelling ships through
the water is far from efficient when applied
to air craft. Mr. Berry began to experiment
with the exhaust pressure and suction system.
and was so impressed by the efficiency Of a
small working model which he constructed that
he has applied for patents, which he expects
to receive soon from Washington.
The great defect of the screw propeller, when
applied to air craft, is the creation of a
vacuum Immediately in front of tho propeller
blades, which has a tendency to retard the
advance of the ship By the suction and ex-
hau5t system nj. Berry mas that the Gre
alton of a partial vacuum in frog Of the
ship, added to the pressure of the air being
forced out at the rear, is capable Of produc-
ing high rate OF speed
The model which he has constructed, and
which is now In preparation in his shop on
Olive street, consists of an ordinary twelve
inch blower. such is used by blacksmiths
or for ventilating, driven by motor Of ono
and one-half horsepower. The machinery Is
mounted on a pivoted frame work Of ten feet
radius, weighing about 500 pounds and offering
considerable resistance to the air. Solely by
the force Of the suction and exhaust Of the
blower the framework is revolved twenty
times a minute. developing a speed Of fifteen
miles an hour.
The inventor is preparing to build dirigi-
BILE with a capacity Of three persons, which
will cost about $4,000 and which, he expects,
from the speed developed by his crude model,
will show much more speed than any Of the
dirigibes now built

HEARING ON INCOME TAX.
Much Interest shown In Proposed Con-
nUtutiOnnI Amendment.

Montpelier Oct. 19.-Tho committee on

this evening In the Senate chambers on
the proposed change in the constitution
OF the United States in regard to an in
como tax, the communication recently
sent TO the House by the Governor being
placed In the hands of that committee.

proposed amendment taken to-day by
senator Carroll s. Page in his address
10 inc General Assembly had n tendency
10 call out large number of people
this evening to hear the matter discussed
Ihe committee Itself Is somewhat in the
oark IN regard 10 the proposition and
gladly welcomed all suggestions
Ex-Gov. John l.. Barstow of Sheburne
supports the proposition. quoting ex-
tensiveiy from Senator John Sherman,
senator Elihu Root and others, and
argued II the proposed amendment Is de-
1eated vermont vii pay 40 per cent.
hisher taxes than will New York and
other states The amendment was also
supported by Senator John W. Gordon of
barre, who argued that the man who Is
able to pay an income tax is the one
who Is opposing this amendment. No
poor man Is against it. Massachusetts
had had such an income tax law on it's
statute books for l67 years South Carolina
FOR more than 100 years, and Vermont had
such a tax until 1870. The only opposI-
tion to this amendment Is that of
selflshness.
Senator Max l.. Powell of burlington
also defended the proposed amendment.
While at first he was opposed to IT he
had been forced to see that the proposi-
ton is fair and right. The necessity of
such tax would be only In time OF dis
tress. Incomes OF 5000 or less would be
exempt and those In Vermont who would
be affected are comparatively few We
can safely put this matter In tho hands
of the general government without fear
that the privilege will be abused. The
Vermont Legislature ought to vote in
favor Of this amendment. OF course New
York State does not want this amend
ment for that Is the State that will be hit
the hardest. 1t has more property that
escapes just taxation than has any State
in the Union.
