the trial OF Dr. B. c. Hyde for the mur-
der Of Col Thomas Swope and decided
to admit evidence relating TO illness or
death IN the SwOpe family other than
that OF Colonel Swope. This was a hard
blow TO the defense
Interest in the case has become more
tense since the "a liking Of testimony
began. and as a result the court room
was well crowded The women were
in the majority, and occupied places
Of vantage.

TEN MAY HAVE Persisted
SCHOONER WRECKED NEAR
CAPE .HATTERAS.
Crew Believed to Have Been Lost.
Life Savers Hurry to Aid
of Stranded Vessel.

NORFOLK, Va, February 1.-The
threemasted schooner Frances of New
York, bound from New York to Jackson
vile. is stranded near Cape Hatteras.
The vessel is a total wreck. Her crew
of ten men is believed to have persisted
in the terrific storm
Life savers from both the Big Kinna-
keet and the Cape Hatteras life saving
stations have hurried to sea to render
what assistance they can.
The stranded vessel lies in a perlous
position between the two life saving sta
lions at Cape Hatteras. 1t is feared
the schooner will be dashed 10 pieces
by the heavy seas and the fifty-two-mile
wind sweeping the shoals.
The temperature is below freezing and
thick and stormy weather conditions pre-
vail.
In Hampton roads there are today
many vessels which had just started 70
sea, or were caught in the storm and put
in for refuge there. No other wrecks
have been reported.
The Frances, a vessel of 643 tons net
register. was owned by Edwin S. Pendle
ton of New York. She was employed i'll
the lumber-carrying trade between Flori-
da and northern ports.
The schooner was built in Belfast. Me.
in 1887, and was in command of Capt
Combs.

TREES COMING
JAPAN'S GIFT TO NEW YORK
WITHOUT PARASITES.
Riverside Drive Will Be Gay When
Cherry Blossoms Bloom-Plant-
ing This Fall.

DIR. Jokchi Takamine of 1874 Riverside
Drive, the chemist. visited Park Commits
sioner Slower in the arsenal in Central
Park says the New York Sun. and had
a talk with him about the cherry trees
the japanese government promised to
present to this city to commemorate the
Booth anniversary of the discovery of the
Hudson river.
1t developed at the conference that a
number of Japanese cherry trees were re-
ceived in Washington some time ago and
were set out. Entomologists discovered
on the trees species of parasite that
threatened to cause trouble, SO the trees
were destroyed.
DR.. Takamine told the commissioner
that he was in the japanese embassy at
Washington at the time and that he ca
bled to his government to use extreme
care in selecting the trees that were to be
sent to New York, so that no parasites
would come along with them.
The commissioner and DIR. Takamine
decided that it would be best TO send a
cable to Toxic holding up. the shipment
of the trees until letter containing full
instructions could be received.
The trees when they come will be plant
ed along Riverside Drive, where they will
not interfere with the OInnlDuSeS ana VIII
present fine spectacle when they are in
blossom. They are to be two years old
and quite large when sent here.
There will be just 200 of them. The
number to be sent was decided upon by
the Japanese government in this way.
The number is held sacred in Japan,
and when the 30Oth anniversary of the
discovery of the Hudson river Is multi
piled by Japan's sacred number the re-
suit is 2,1OO cherry trees.
1t is expected that the oriental tree will
get to New York in time to be planted
next fall.

TESTIMONY IN SUPPORT

City Is Cited as Evidence of
Legitimacy.

LONDON. February IA crowded
courtroom testified today to the public in
terest in the Sackville peerage romance,
another chapter of which opened before
Sir John Bigham, president of the probate
court. The petitioner in the suit is Ernest
Henry Sackville- West. who asks the court
to declare him the eldest and legitimate
son of the late Lord Lionel Sackville
West. British minister at Washington
from 1881 to 1855. If he is success
full he will acquire the title to the
estates now held by Lionel Z. Sackville-
West, nephew of the late diplomat and
the present Lord Sackville, who married
his cousin. a sister of the petitioner The
present Lord Sackville denies that his
uncle legally married Josefa Duran, the
petitioners mother.
The court disallowed a similar claim in
1903.
History of the Case.
Ernest is the son of a Spanish dancer
who married Lord Sackville at Madrid.
Subsequently Sackville claimed that the
woman had a husband living when she
formed an alliance with him. and the one
son and three daughters born from their
union have never been recognized by the
courts as having any rights to the Sack
Vile title and estates.
Noted counsel has been engaged by both
sides. Sir Edward Clarke in opening for
the petitioners, said that he proposed to
prove the marriage by reputation and
the declarations of Lord Sackville him
self on documents attached to certificates
of the birth and baptism of his children.
The Claimants Case.
In support Of his contention Barrister
Clarke referred to the stay and recogni-
ton at Washington of Lord Sackville's
daughters He read volumes of documen-
tary evidence taken abroad regarding the
life of Lord Sackyille and Josefa Duran
at Arcachon, France. where they were
known as the Count and Countess West
Dispositions were submitted to establish
that the neighbors believed the two to be
married, though one deponent added
'Bad-natured people said they were I'M
married"
Counsel laid stress on the fact that
sorne of the birth certificates Of the
children and the death certificate of
Josefa Duran described the dancer as
the wife of Lionel Sackville West.
Lord Sackville's Testimony.
Sir Robert Finley, on behalf of the
present peer. was recalled and placed in
evidence the testimony given by Lord
Sackville when a similar suit was
brought during his lifetime. On that
occasion the defendant swore that the
declarations which he had made re-
garding his companion were inspired
solely by a desire to save the reputa-
ton of the lady. He affirmed that
there had never been a marriage of any
sort. and that all children born to them
were illegitimate.

McCumber Food Resolution
in subcommittee Hands

Senator McCumbers resolution for an
investigation by the Senate committee on

that committee this morning. 1t has been
referred to a special subcommittee, COM
posed of Senators Crawford of South Da-
kota and Smith of South Carolina.
Senator McCumber appeared before the

he contended, has been blamed. in the
midst of the present agitation, for the
present high prices of food 1t has been
maintained by some that the farmer was
demanding and getting too much for his
products.
Senator McCumber told the committee
that he did not think the charge was JUS
titled, and therefore wants an 1nVestlga-
ton to refute 1t.
The committee discussed the fact that
several other Investigations of the high
prices of edibles are under way and
thought that their scope should be under
stood by the members Of the committee
to enable it to do the wise thing in con-
nection with the McCumber resolution. 1t
was pointed out that the Department of
Agriculture and the Department of Com
merce and Labor, through the census bu-
reau, are both looking into the cost of
producing foodstufYs and the prices at
which they are sold to the consumers; 1t
was also explained that some investiga-
tons are under way in the House.
To consult with the heads of the fed
eral departments interested and to learn
the status of other investigation, the
