tor injected cholera germs into his
patients blood and the BaTon's death
followed in due course. The Baroness
suspected foul play and the investgat-
ion that followed resulted in the
doctors complete confession, in which
he established himself as a wholesale
murderer. In every instance he had
used diseases germs to bring about his
victims death.
The facts in the Hyde-Swope case
which were thoroughly aired at the
doctors trial last April. are still fresh
in the public mind.
About five years ago the doctor,
whose full name is Bennett c. Hyde,
married Miss Frances SwOpe, one Of
the nieces of Colonel Thomas H.
SwOpe. an octogenarian millionaire.
Between his wife and the SwOpe mill
lions stood nine other relatives, and
DR.. Hyde is accused of having planned
the death OF all of them by the inOcu-
lation of typhoid germs. In the case
of the aged colonel, who died October
8, 1909, il was charged that the doctor
administered strychnine after having
first inoculated his victim with the
fever germs.
The SwOpe Duplicate Crime.
In addition to the colonel, Christian
Swope. a nephew, and Colonel Moss
HuntOn. one of the old SwOpe servants,
met their deaths in a similar fashion.
and no less than eight members of the
Swope family were stricken with ty-
phoid at the same time, although all
of the latter recovered. DR.. Hyde was
tried for the murder OF C9lnn>
convicted and sentenced TO life inn
prisOnment.
These TWO cases, which stand unique
in the annals of crime, lend consider
able weight 10 the theory of the Grim
inOlogists that cleyerly planned crimes
are usually committed in duplicate. Ii
is certain that there was no material
connection between the twn physicians
and there could be none but a meta
physical mode of communication be-
tween them.
Think of what this meansl For
every murderer's hand that grips the
knife, there must be another deadly
hand, and for every victim of the one,
somewhere another victim is marked,

But the duplicate crime law ope-

The cases of Dr.. Crippen and of
young Porter Charlton form a perfect
illustration OF the working of this
mysterious system. Charlton, an
American of good family and of eX-
cellent education. married woman
who resembled in temperament and

abroad to live.
Charlton confessed to having killed
his wife in a fit OF passion. He hid

BY JAMES Il. WILKINSON,

associate of the late Inspector
Thomas L. Byrnes)
ATORDEAU and BertillOn have
N only voiced a theory which was
held by Inspector Byrnes during the
latter part Of his career, but which he
felt would be thought so fantastic that
he never voiced it except To his init
mates.
Byrnes called the phenomenon the
law of duplicate crime. He held that
any unusual, striking crime, in which
either passion or intellect played an
unusually strong part had and must
have its parallel either at the time or
shortly after. For instance. if a muir
der were done that had extraordinary
elements of reconciliation, motive and
execution, sooner or later an almost
similar case would be brought 10 light,
occurring at or about the time of the
other Sometimes the duplicate crime
would be discovered first and some
times the initial crime would first be
exposed But invariably crime trav-

Perhaps the most remarkable OF
these parallel. crimes were the Hyde
SwOpe and the Observation-Disclosures
cases. which occurred at the same
time, the former in this country ana
the latter in Russia, and which are
particularly noteworthy because they
involved an entirely new mode OF
murder-that Of inOculating the VIC
tim with disease germs.
In their general features the two
cases were almost identical. In each
case the defendant was a physician.
the victim a man of wealth and the
motive was TO change the line or sue
cessiOn of a great fortune. In the
Hyde case the germs of typhoid We're
used, while in the Pantchenko the
cholera bacillus was employed.
For the murder of Colonel SWope
DR.. Hyde has already been convicted,
but he is still under indictment for
encompassing the death Of other
members of the Swope family. Dr.
Pantchenko has not yet been tried. al
though he has confessed that Baron
Buturlin for whose murder he Is
about TO be tried. was by no means
his only victim. In this respect, too,
the two cases are strikingly similar,
the culprit in each instance having
calmly encOmpassed the death Of
every one who stood between himself
and the fortune to which he aspired
Grimes in Russia.
The Russian crimes were planned
and committed at various times within
the past two or three years, but il was
not until the death of Baron Buturlin
and the subsequent confession of Dr..
PantchenkO that they were discovered.
In the meantime, and before he could
possibly have had any knowledge OF
DR.. PantchenkO's diabOlical plans, Dr..
HYDE is believed TO have been dupli-
eating the Russians crimes in this
country the only difference being that
whereas the Russian was using the
cholera germ, DR.. Hyde was inOculat-
ing his victims with typhoid germs.
The crime for which DR.. Pantheon
kO is TO be tried was the murder of
Baron Vassill Buturlin of St Piers

 Long before I came here l had known of the work that was being done in Uganda, and felt particularly anxious to see it.

There must be some visible fruit in the life and work of the man who breaches if his preach ing is going to have very great eff feet upon those to whom he breaches. That visible fruit can be shown in many different ways, and one of the most efficient ways of showing it is by just such work as is being done in connection with this building, which it will naturally be a source of pecu- liar pride to myself to have my name associated with, and which I now take pleasure in declaring to be open"

Brood SOWs.

In selecting gilts from any young lit ter for raising as breeders, the number of teats should always be ascertained A SOW can rear no more little ones than she has teats, for each keeps jeal- ously to it's own. says the Rural World of England. And, singularly enough, if one of the litter dies, it Is rarely, if ever, that one of the sur viving youngsters takes to the spare teat. The number of teats that sows have varies from 10 to 16, but 14 is quite goodly array. The numbers vary with the breeds a bit, and most of our big, free-breeding sows are pretty we'll furnished with teats.

A DETERMINED WOMAN Finally Found a Food That Cured Her

"When I first read of the remark able effects of Grape Nuts food, de- termined to secure some," says wom- an in Salisbury, Mo. At that time there was none kept in this town, but my husband ordered some from a Chi cago traveller.
 T had been greatly afflicted with sudden attacks of cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Tried all sorts of remedies and physicians, but obtained only temporary relief. AS soon as began to use the new food the cramps disappeared and have never returned.
 My old attacks of sick stomach were a little slower to yield, but by continuing the food, that trouble has disappeared entirely. I am today per fectly well, can eat anything and everything I wish, without paying the penalty that I used to- We would not keep house without GrapeNuts.

At the present time we are importing 20.000,000 bushels of DO tatoes from Europe, which should and can be raised in this country.

PROMOTE FARMERS WELFARE
St. Louis Conference Reached Conclu- sion That Organization and Co.,
 Operation Must Be Perfected.

That systematic organization and determined cooperation are necessary to promote the material, social and mental welfare of the farmer was em- phasized at the recent meeting of the Farmers Educational and Cooperative Union of America, at St Louis
 Every meeting of the Farmers union (together with the American Societ of Equity, which met in con junction. resolved itself into a plea for organization. Every speaker who touched on the subject was given the most careful attention and invariably was heartily applauded, while the farmers in attendance were broad minded and frank enough to acknowl- edge that the efforts to organize and cooperate in the past had failed, mainly because the farmers them selves had failed to live up to their contracts and to keep their agree ments. Individual pledges were re- peatedly made that hereafter farm CTS would stand together and abide literally by every contract, both yer bal and written. The fact was re- peatedly emphasized that the farmer is the only business man in the world who does not set a price upon his productions, but who is compelled to take the price assigned by the pur- chaser.
 To the end that this condition of affairs may be done away with and the a kn o1a the manufacturer and all fellow crea- tors it was decided that organization and cooperation must be perfected and maintained all along the line The affiliation with the labor union was simply the first step In this cam paign.
 One of the most practical addresses of the convention was delivered by John A. Miller president of the Mis- souri State union, who narrated his experiences in organizing the farm CTS of his community. He stated that when corn was selling on the St. Louis market at 52 cents per bushel, the commission men in his home town offered but 43 cents per bushel Mir. Miller believed that if the farmers would cooperate they could name their own price and materially benefit | themselves. To this end, he secured the agreement of half a dozen farmers to withhold from the market 10000 bushels of corn until the local com mission men paid approximately the | St. Louis market price. Two days after this agreement was entered into, | the commission men raised their of fer from 43 to 53 cents per bushel, | within two cents of the St. Louis price, | and Mir. Miller and his associates ac- cepted the offer and disposed of their | 10000 bushels at an increase of S70O for this one instance of the organiza- | tion.
 MT. Miller confessed, however, that his tentative efforts to better the farmers condition and to raise the price of corn fell fiat because of the farmers withdrawing from their agree. ment. MT. Miller admitted that all efforts to organize and cooperate
 would fail as this plan failed if the farmers would not resolve to stand by
 their contracts and to sink or swim | together.
