Trial of WoIter
 To be Very Brief
PREDICTION THAT FIVE DAYS
 WILL END TT.
SEVEN JURORS ALREADY CHOSEN
Ruth Wheeler. Mother and Two Sis
 ters May Testify Today -- Prisoner Appeared in Good Spirits Yesterday.

New York. April 1s.-There was ev- idence today that the trial of Albert Woiter, the IS year old youth charged with the murder of Ruth Wheeler. will go forward with the utmost despatch. Trial Will Be Brief One, says Judge
 The trial will be very brief one.' said Judge Foster, in the court of gen. eral sessions today, when talesmen seeking to avoid jury duty crowded about him. Seven jurors had been chosen when court adjourned until to- morrow and the defense had exhaust ed twenty of the thirty challenges all lowed it by law
 Ii was predicted that the trial would not take more than five days, and that perhaps half that time would be given to selecting the jury. With the jury more than half selected to- night it seems likely that this pre- diction will be verified. Because of the youth of the victim the peculiar brutishness of the murder, and the re- vOlt1ng manner in which the body was mutilated, the prosecution is anxious to make the case a signal example of the. swiftness of justice 1t is now just twenty-five days since Ruth Wheeler was strangled to death, and every effort made by Wolter's coun- sel to cause delay has been brushed aside
 Prisoner Looks Dapper and inoffensive
 Woiter seemed in good spirits today. There was nothing in his carriage or his expression to indicate that he re- alized he was on trial for his life. He was pale to be sure. but his color has always been so He looked mild, dap per and fnoffensive.
 Women Not Admitted.
 Before the scrubwomen had the courtrooms cleaned for the morning session. a crowd of morbid women was ready to peer at the prisoner and gloat over the testimony. But they were rudely disappointed when Judge Foster admitted none but the tales men, the prisoner and the newspaper men.
 The witnesses under subpoena and who may testify tomorrow include Ruth Wheeler's mother and two sis ters.

FORT INFER HAS A
 MILLIONAIRE ENLISTED MAN. Corporal Albert Myer is Also a Wash-
 ington Society Favorite.

Washington, April 1S.-Fort Myer. near this city, is said to be unique among army posts In tke possession of an enlisted man who is a millionaire. Not only is he a millionaire, but he is also favorfte in Washington society, and this somewhat to the consterna- ton of the officers of the fort. who themselves, sometimes through duty, but more often inclination, are fre- Quently in attendance upon the very events at which the rich enlisted man finds himself

 Already Corporal Myer has taken his examination for Q lieutenancy and, greatly, 1t is said, to the. reiie6 of the officers at the post, passed handsome ly. Soon they may be able to recog nize hiGn socially without feeling that their dignity and all that is due their rank is compromised.

TRIAL OF DIR. HYDE
 FOR MURDER OF COL. SWoPE
Death of Dr. Twyman, the Prosecu-
 tion's Most Important Witness.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 1S.-Scarce- ly had the state completed it's open ing statement today in the trial of Dr. B. c. Hyde for the murder of Col. Thomas Swope. before Dr. G. T. Ivy man, the prosecutions most important witness. died at a hospital of acute diyerticulitis by which he was strick- en last Saturday.
 Dr. Twyman was for years the Swope family physician. When the nurses struck at the Swope home and accused Dr. Hyde, they carried their complaint to Dr. Twyman. He called Dr. Hyde to his office and told him he was suspected. Dr. Twyman was a confidante of the Swope family. While the state depended much on the testi- mony of Dr. Twyman, he gave Dr. Twyman's attorneys a deposition in which he refused to criticise Dr.. Hyde. Without going into detail, pr. Twyman said he approved, in general, Dr. Hyde's work in connection with the Swope family.
 Dr. Hyde sat calmly between his wife and his father in the crowded criminal court room today and heard greed for gain made him a prisoner and murderer.
 After James A. Reed, special prose cutting attorney, closed the prosecu- tlons opening statement, Mrs. Hyde turned, hammered hey husband on the shoulder, and said: You did fine"
 A feet feet behind the Hydes sat Mrs Logan o. Swope, mother of Mrs. Hyde and employer, of MT. Reed She paid strict attention to the address, but displayed no emotion Many members of the Swope family were present when court opened The state objected to the presence of Mrs. Hyde Judge Latshaw ruled that all wit nesses in the case except Mrs. Hyde and Mrs. Swope should be. excluded from the court room
 Clashes between attorneys kept the spectators alert The defense made early and active objection to the states giving the jury and incidents in the Swope home not directly con nected with the death of Colonel Swope- The court decided to admit all circumstances which the state ayers will tend to show that a plot existed to exterminate the entire Swope fam ily-
 AS a result. all the events in the Swope residence from the first ill., ness. of Colonel Swope were reviewed. But when MT Reed began the history of the courtship of Dr. and Mrs. Hyde which ended in an elopement and for years caused family arrangement, the court sustained an objection to that recital.
 The charge that Dr. Hyde poisoned Col Thomas H. and Chrisman Swope with cyanide of potassium. as well as strychnine, was the only new feature brought in MT. Reeds. address.

threatened almost as great a demor- alization as that of last January Early in April the market suffered a very severe break under heavy liquidation, and at that time rumors were current that the bulls were abandoning their position, but a considerable recovery in nsprices since then suggested that the selling was largely in the way of out or ten days there have been renewed rumors of an impending squeeze.
 Sole Topic in Trade Circles.
 When news of the governments de- cision was at first circulated the mar ket became very weak and unsettled and inside of 9n hour May May cotton ,o sold old high level of the day and about 45 points under the high price of last week. May closed at 14-65 bid. Later months sympathized in the. near month break but interest was pretty much confined to the old crop and aside from the excitement with reference to May and July contracts there was no particular feature. Naturally the pro- posed government action was practi- cally the sole topic in trade circles after the close of the market All sorts of theories were advanced as to the basis for the contemplated suit. One interpretation was that government of ficia1s had themselves taken the initi- ative, while others believed a com plaint brought by some of the inter ests involved on the short side of the market may have been responsible. In some quarters an opinion was ex- pressed that the action was in the nature of a rebuke to MT. Patten, whose operations in grain of last year attracted international attention.
 Entire Cotton Trade Interested.
 Wall street was stirred by the news and it was widely discussed also in banking circles and much interest will be taken in the hearing by the finan- cial district and the stock exchange, as well as by the entire cotton trade
