LOOKING BACK
against W0L1ER
ASTONISHING ARRAY OF EvI-
DENCE AGAINST ALLEGED
MURDERER.

New York, April 2O-No prisoner
on trial for his life in New York
courts is ever remembered to have
faced such an array Of hostile facts
and heart-rending testimony with
such stolid indifference as did Albert
Wolter today when confrnted with
the charred fragments of the body
that once was Ruth Wheeler, whom
he is charged with Turing to her
death in his fiat not a month ago.
Philip E. O'Hanlon, coroner's
physician, testified that Ruth Wheel
er had been assaulted before she
was murdered and that there still
was life in her body when it had
been soaked with kerosene, jammed
up the chimney of VOTERS fiat and
set afire. He found human hair not
her own adhering to the burned fin
gers. Therefore, he knew she had
fought for her honor. There was
SCOT in her lungs; a corpse does not
breath. Therefore, he said, he knew
a living body had inhaled smoke
and bame.
During this appalling testimony,
which made the jurors fidget in their
chairs, Wolter sat listening, scan
ming the jurors, the grewsome ex-
hibits themselves and his lawyer.
He gave no sign of emotion when
Adelaide Wheeler, 10 years old, and
said to bear an extraordinary re-
semblance to her dead sister, took
the stand.
With perfect poise, the girl identi-
fed braid of artificial hair that
had been her sisters, bits Of under
clothing that she knew by their tex
ture, jewelry Ruth had worn, and,
lastly, what came as surprise to
the defense, a seal ring engraved
with Ruth Wheeler's initials, which
was found on the body. The prose-
cution will contend that this clinches
beyond doubt the previous identifi.
cation of the body, which it had been
thought the defense would attempt
to overthrow.
There was no indication of what
the defense will be. The audience
today contained twenty or more wo-
men, couple of clergymen and per-
haps 200 laymen, and hundreds were
turned away.

PACKARD IS AGAIN
= = To Be Candidate
PRESIDENT OF MANDAN CITY
COMMISSION TO RETAIN
:. REGISTERS OFFICE,
Thinks Mandan Has a Bright Future
and Gave Some Good Reasons for
His Statem nts,

A. NJ. Packard of Mandan, presi-
dent of the city commission of that
city, and register of deeds for Nor
ton county for number of years,
was among the guests in Bismarck
yesterday. having come over to con-
suit DR.. McLachlan.
He reports Mandan enjoying a
steady and substantial growth. Work
is going on along the new branches
of the Northern Pacific and this will
add largely to the commercial devel-
opment of the west Missouri city.
Mandan is figuring now on a system
of sewerage and new water sys-
TEN, and all things considered, very
healthy growth is in prospect.
Mr.. Packard is candidate for re-
election this year, and says he has
run for register of deeds so often
1t is getting to be habit with him.
He is an old timer in that section,
was one of the pioneer newspaper
men, having run the old Mandan
Times for many years, and has wide
acquaintance in Morton county and
through the state.
His friends were enthusiastic ad-
vOcates of his nomination for the Of
flee for governor, but in the troubled
condition of state politics he did not
care to enter the race.

STATE PAPERS
GREAT EXCITEMENT IN THE
HYDE MURDER TRIAL At
KANSAS CITY.

Kansas City, April 2O.-A stormy
court room scene, in which many
lawyers addressed the court at the
same time, bandieu charges of I'M
fair play among themselves. The
bond of DR.. B. c. Hyde was almost
revoked, and attorneys for defense
threatened, upon certain conditions,
to attempt impeachment of state
witnesses, marked the Hyde murder
trial this afternoon.
The trouble all arose over an at
tache of Prosecutor Conkling's oBce
losing the grand jury notes in the
testimony of DR.. Walter S. Haines
and forty-two other witnesses. A
woman found the notes and gave
them to Frank P. Walsh, chief coun-
sci for DR.. Hyde. These notes, ac-
cording to Mr.. Walsh, contain state
ments of DR.. Haines that no cyanide
of potassium was found in viscera
of Col. Swope and that not enough
poison was found in Chrisman

Washington, April 20--It was de.

of Indianapolis, the recalcitrant wit

Investigating committee, another
chance to avoid being reported to
the house for contempt in refusing
to answer the committees questions.
Maxwell had been asked particu-

he obtained the information on which

London, gathered, not to consider
raising Atlantic and Gulf rates to
Europe, but to head off merchant

The select committee informally
concluded today to try to secure the

way, the idea being that a report

Second DAY Of MEETING
of TAESU PER|NIENDENTS
OF RE ENDAToNs OF THE CON-
M,T1EE OF SEVEN - SUGGESTIONS EN-
poRsED DckEv ENCOURAGES CORN GROWING
CONTESTS.

The second day of the meeting OF
the county superintendents began at
half-past ten o'clock Wednesday
forenoon, in the senate chamber OF
the capitol. Professors Schmidt and
Knowlton, Superintendents Wallace
and Godward, and President Kern,
members of the committee Of seven,
were present at the sessions yester-
day and took part in the various dis
cussions. Prof. Weeks, who has been
named as member OF the commit
tee to succeed Prof. Willard, was
also present and participated in the
deliberations.
A further consideration of the rec.
concentrations regarding arithmetic
was the first topic on the program.
The recommendations Of the CON-
mittee were, after considerable con-
sideration, endorsed. Following out
these recommendations, the future
course of study will provide more
drill in the Observation-Disclosures
training in ejciency in the simple
processes.
The recommendations regarding
reading were given aan endorsement
the consideration of the subject.
Prof Knowlton took a leading part
in the discussion of this subject and
pointed out that in future it is pro-
posed to place more stress upon the
emotional and appreciative sides and
less emphasis upon the information
al side of reading. There was con-
siderable difference of Onion, but the
committees recommendations were
endorsed.
The recommendations about lang
uage were endorsed with but little
discussion or debate. Accordingly,
it is recommended that the course of
Study will hereafter be framed with
a view of securing for the pupil
proper power of expression as the
principal aim, rather than the devel-
opment of literary taste.
The subject of history and civics
was disposed of and recommends
tions endorsed in short order, as
were those regarding agriculture
also.
Prof. Randlett, Of the agricultural
college, spent a few minutes in dis
cussing corn and other contests for
the benefit of the superintendents.
At the afternoon session Pres.
Kern began the discussion of the
training Of teachers for work along
problem of the preparation AMI
industrial lines.
In addition to endorsing the fajor-
ity of the recommendations regarding
the preparation and training of the
teachers, the superintendents went on
record as approving the bill for aid
for rural schools, that was before the
legislature at the last session.
Before the adjournment of the af
ternoon session it was decided to hold
another state spelling contest next
year, and the same committee of
superintendents was elected to make
the necessary arrangements for the
contest of 1911.
Dickey County Corn Contest.
The land dealers and other busi-
ness men of Dickey county have sub.
scr1bed more than $500 for the use
of County Superintendent Lowell in
conducting corn growing contest in
1910. Mrs. Lowell states that about
$400 will be used for prizes and that
the balance viii be used to take seven
or eight of the winning boys to the
agricultural college. for two weeks
course in corn culture.

Going.
The vaudeville show at the Bijou
last evening was hit the applause
given the performers can be cri-
terion. There were six acts and all
of them were good. The bill runs
rather heavy on the comedy and sing

pleased that is what was necessary.
The performance will be repeated
this evening at $3.50 and a number of
the acts will be changed, and it is
probable that there will be another
good sized house.

BOARD OF CONTROL WOULD
ABANDON JACKSON PRISON
viii Make Recomme ndation 10 Leais-
Iature That New institution Be
Erected Outside City.

JACKSON, Mich, Dec. 6.-The
abandonment or the present Jackson
prison and the erection OF modern
institution outside the ely, is a plan
that VIII be submitted at the coming
session OF the legislature by the pris-
on board or control. The board Ia
unanimous In the opinion that a new
prison should be erected TO take the
place OF the one that has done ser
vice for 80. many years. The board
will ask for an appropriation for the
purchase OF 500-acre farm where the
convicts can be put at work. Ii will
be impossible, without an amendment
Is made b. the next legislature, for
the state to let any prison contracts
after Dec. IL, 1911.
There are many objections to the
present prison buildings and il they
continue In use many hundreds Of
thousands OF dollars in improvements
must be made. AT least $225.000 must
be expended in the near future for q
new cell block in the east wing. An
other drawback to the present build
Ings Is the easy manner in which an
escape may be affected. II convict
can make his escape through any OF
the windows OF the cell blocks, which
face in the streets, and has Ave or
ten minutes start, he is practically
lost as far as discovery Is concerned.
The city shelters hundreds of ex-con-
victs who are, as rule, willing TO
help q man after he has made his es-
cape.
The unions are rapidly forcing pris.
on contract labor out OF existence. II
is. believed that the institution could
be made practically self-supporting II
the inmates We're put TO work raising
the materials they consume. The mill
bill alone at the prison for the past
year amounted TO the sum of $4,000
and the cost OF farm produce attains
very high figure. An appropriation
OF $4,000, for repair work during the
next two years, will be asked of the
legislature providing the proposition
for new institution Is voted down.
