SPLIT IN REPUBLICAN PARTY
is STEADILY GROWING WIDER

Washington, May O.-tspecial)-The
next few days will witness the most
earnest efforts to bring the Senate IN
surgents, at least all but a few black
insurgents back to the republican fold.
1t Is felt by some OF the Presidents S
advisers that there Is no really funda-
mental and irreconcilabe difference be-
tween a majority of the insurgents and
the administration.
The situation in the Senate is remark
able President Taft has tried to In
duce the leaders to put aside their
prejudices and support him in his effort
to "clinch' the Roosevelt policies, but
lust as he has accomplished that the in
surgents abandon him and demand ex-
treine measures, which President Roose-
velt never advocated and which 1t would
be impossible to induce the regular re-
publicans to accept even IL the Pres
ident approved them
The result is a split, which constitutes
a serious menace to party success. not
only now but in the future. Some of the
Presidents advisers hope that If the III
surgents can be brought to a realization
of the extent to which they are en-
dangering not only the Taft admin lstra-
ton, but the success of the republican
marty for long time to come, they will
recon sider their course and perhaps unite
with the regular republica MS for the party
veal against the common enemy.
There is no denying the fact that Is
things are going now the split In the

Washington, May 10.-Details as to the
identity of the actual purchasers of the
Philippine friar lands and host of other
information bearing upon the sale OF
lands In the Island of Mindoro are asked
of the war department in three resolu-
tions which the House passed today.
The resolutions were introduced by
Representative Martin of Colorado in an
effort to develop whether there is or was
any connection between the American
Sugar Refining company and Henry w.
Taft. a brother of President Taft, and the
sale of the lands or the arrangements for
their SALE They were ordered favorably
reported with some changes by the fnsu-
lar affairs committee and their passage
followed a spirited colloauy by Chairman
Olmsted of the committee and Mr.. Mar
tin.
A request by Mr. MarVn for unanimous
consent to insert In the Congressional
Record testimony given by war depart
ment officials as to the real purchasers
of the land in question was refused. A
fourth resolution by Mr.. Martin bearing
ON the same general question was ia
bled by the House on the recommends
ton of the committee as imposing q
doubtful duty upon the department. The
resolution directed the Secretary Of Wal
to ascertain by cable whether the Min
doro Development company has been au-
thorized to do business in the Philip
pines

DEFENSE CLOSES
In HYDE TRIAL

Kansas City, Mo-. May lO.-At the close
of a long cross-examination OF DR.. B. C.
Hyde by Prosecutor Virgil Conkling late
tonight the defense in the Swope murder
trial rested. The case will be in the
hands of the jury by next Saturday, II
is thought. DR.. Hyde and the prosecutor
were exhausted when the ordeal was
over. Every phase of the Swope case
was gone into in the physicians exam
nation.
II won't take the stand unless I can
tell 1t ALL he told his attorneys. That
DR.. Hyde could not name druggist other
than Hugo Brecklen Of whom he had
purchased cyanide in the 10 years the
physician said he had used 1t was re-
garded by the state as the most valua-
Bile development of the Interrogation
DR.. Hyde only began to purchase cyan
ide from Brecklein last fall. The state
laid great stress upon the fact that DR..
Hyde's office contained more than 10
culture tubes for the reception OF germs
The defense contends that this only
proves the physicians assertion that he
was stocking up for a laboratory. DR..
Hyde became irritated under the ques-
tioning at times and was sarcastic. The
court reprimanded the witness once for a
cynical remark. Mr.. Conklng was also
admonished several times by Judge Lat
shaw.
On direct examination DIR. Hyde said he
never poisoned any member of the fam
ily; that he never dropped capsules in a
street in independence, as Thomas FL
Swope, Jr., claimed to have seen him do !;
that he used cyanide mainly for killing
bugs in his office, and that he injected
campohrated oil and that alone In Mar-
garet Swope's arm.

Roosevelt Is Received
By Emperor William In
Most Cordial Manner

10 the American embassay and shortly
afterwards Colonel Roosevelt kept an ap-
poirtment with Professor Fraenkel. a
throat specialist.
At Potsdam the Emperor and Empress
treated their American guests with great
cordiality. engaging them In prolonged
conversation in the small drawing room

to deliver his lecture before the unlver-

will make another examination OF MS
eide whether or not 1t will be advisable
for the former President to visit the
battlefield.
Without making another statement re-
garding the condition in which he found
Colonel Roosevelt's throat, the physician
explained that laryngitis often follows a
long residence In the tropics and that
in his opinion the hoarseness In this case
is not due to the strain of speaking.
Colonel Roosevelt, he thinks. should be
entirely recovered within week.
No word has yet come to Colonel
Roosevelt regarding the possibility OF his
