SEATTLE, WASH, Feb. 9.-With
the overwhelming nomination Of
Hiram c. Gill as the republican
for mayor, Seattle today announced
Its decision In favor Of wide
open" town, and it's displeasure at
the recent period of restriction"
The fact that the republicans
cast, 31,43S votes, giving Gill a
plurality of 5000 over his opponent,
A..V. Bouillon, while the democrats
cast only 2746 votes, is taken by
many politicians to presage Gills
election. William Hickman Moore
was nominated as his opponent by
the democrats.
Gill went before the people with
the flat declaration for an open
town, asserting that certain re-
strictions which have been en-
forced would be Immediately re-
moved IL he was elected.
The campaign was clearly con-
Quoted along the lines of this issue,
and political observers today look
upon the result as one of the most
remarkable demonstrations at the
polls ever known in the northwest.
The municipal election will be
held on March 8, and 1t Is expected
that fierce campaign will be CON
Quoted. The supporters Of Bouillon
today predict that there will be a
break in the republican ranks, al
leging that it will be impossible for
certain elements of the party to
support Gill on account Of his dec
laration in favor of lifting the lid"
Some are asserting that strong
republican vote will go to Moore,
the democratic candidate. The
generally prevailing opinion, is that
the overwhelming plurality given
yesterday to Gills wide open plat
form means that he will be elected.

SWOPE'SDEATH
(By United Press Leased Wire)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Feb. g.
The coroner's jury today returned a
verdict finding that Col. Thomas H.
Swope, the millionaire, was killed
by strychnine in a capsule admin.
istered at the direction of DR.. B.
c. Hyde, a distant relative of
Swope.
The coroner's jury in it's verdict
says that Col. Swope came to his
death "by strychnine poisoning,
and, from evidence we believe that
the said strychnine poisoning was
administered in capsule at about
$3.50 a. m. on the day he died, by
direction of Dr., BIC. Hyde, but
whether with felonious intent, we,
the jury, are unable to decide.
The circumstances surrounding
the refusal of DR.. Hyde's attorney
to allow the doctor to take the
stand probably had its influence
with the jury when weighing the
evidence.

Of Mrs. Williams and asked fol Mrs.
Royal. Mrs. Williams said her sister
was sick and asked Names to leave.
Names drew pistol and shot Mrs.

bers of the crew swear they saw sea
serpent in the Gulf Of Mexico, just
north OF Campechy, Mexico, three days
ago.
The descriptions Of the serpent tally
precisely, except as to length, which
varies from rs to 100 feet Attention
was attracted to great commotion in
the water about 800 feet from the YES
sci at 9 O'Clock in the morning as the
serpent rose TO the surface.
1t appeared to be about % feet wide
and with fins stretching out about IL
feet from tip to tip, tapering to neck
and tail, The snake like head was Wis
ible and the mouth opened large enough
TO admit barrel.
An attempt was made to lower a life
boat for better inspection, when a
swish of the tail smashed the boat tc
pieces against the side OF the vessel.
After remaining on the surface OF the
water for half an hour the monster
slowly disappeared.
Two OF the fisheries vessels have beer
equipped with harpoons attached tc
cables, whaling outfit and other ap-
paratus To kill the monster and will de
vote several days to the search. No at
tempt will be made to take the serpent

New York, Sept 20. THE barometer
was very low in the Office of the con
tributing editor at the Outlook thi'
morning and there was no welcome
on the map for the score OF cores
pondents who sought from Mr.. Roose
welt his impressions OF the success at
tending bis conference with the Presi
dent at New Haven yesterday. The
former president was late in arriving
at his Office and quick in shutting the
door behind him. Word was sent Out
that there would be no statement fOI
the newspaper men other than that
there will he no compromise in the
state campaign" Just exactly what
bearing this had on yesterdays meet
ing could not be stated, but it was the
general impression of those who have
been closely enough associated with
Roosevelt to know his moods and
methods, that nothing in yesterday
encounter with the president had given
him grounds for exultation.
Mr.. Roosevelt today accepted an
invitation to address the National
League OF Republican Clubs at Car
negie Hall next Friday afternoon.
President Taft and Vice President Sher-
man will be the speakers at the leagues
banquet the following evening. Roose-
welt was invited to the banquet, but
pleaded a previous engagement.

number the sane. 'The cramped eX-

develops a nervous insanity never eX-

THE PENNsYLVANIA's NEW
SCALE.

That the new wage scale on the PEN

roads net earnings between six and
seven million dollars during the current
year, was the statement Of Vice Presi-
dent Thayer, in New York, last week.
He was testifying at the Interstate Com
merce Commission investigation Of
the eastern railroads contemplated
freight increases, and had admitted
that the company's net earnings for
the fiscal year ended June 40, 1910,
we're approximately 100000 more
than the preceding year. The system
east OF Pittsburg," said Thayer, as
the result OF the increases, showed a
loss of 81, 500, 900 in net earnings for
the last four months. / don't think
there will be any increase whatever in
out gross earnings for this year.
