The Supreme Bench has passed i'm
portant rules regulating receiverships

showing, so far as the same can BE- then
ascertained, the assets and liabilities Of
the estate.
"All the receivers shall within 80
days after their appointment file an
account of all their receipts and disburse-
ments and shall thereafter file additional
accounts every six months (unlesS the
time shall be changed by order Of the
COURT until the estate in their hands
shall be fully administered.
Receivers and other fduciaries ad
ministering trusts under the order and
direction of either of the equity courts
shall not prosecute or defend any suits
or incur any financial obligations in re-
spect to such suits without the previous
order of the court.
''No such order will be passed except
on probable cause shown for the institu-
ton or defense of such suit.
within 80 days prior to the first
day of April in every year it shall be
the duty of every trustee or receiver
appointed by decree Or order of either
of the equity courts, and of every trustee
executing or administering any trust,
howsoever created under the supervision
Of either of the said courts by which he
may have been appointed, or under the
orders Of which said trusts are, or have
been administered, report or account,
verified by his corporal oath in which
he shall clearly and fully set forth the
nature of all the assets and properly held

any moneys may be deposited and under
what name and particulars of securities,
real or personal, whether the same were
received by him in the same form or
parts of the trust estate. or have been
investments made by him.
These rules will enable the courts to
keep in close touch with its receivers
and trustees acting as its officers and will
prevent the misuse or perversion of funds
in their care.

HULL MEETS HYDE.
The Two Physicians Charged With
Murder Become Acquainted.

Kansas City, April 16.-Pending a
more detailed statement of DIR. Twy-
mans illness, the jury in the Hyde
case is held without being sworn. In
the event of DR.. Twyman's death be-
fore Monday, the case would go to
trial Immediately. If however, his ILL
ness is not fatal but lingering, the
state may ask that the jury be dis
missed and the case continued indie
hnltely. Such a course will be opposed
by the attorneys for DR.. Hyde as they
are desirouS of their clients being
given an immediate &rial. An opera
tion was performed on DR.. Twyman
today. DR.. Jabes Jackson diagnosed
his case as acute diverticu1itis. This
according to physicians, is even more
dangerous than appendicitis. DR..
Twyman passed through the opera
ton successfully, it was announced at
the trial started, the court room was
crowded today. 1t was expected that
the state would make its opening
statement.
One of the early arrivals was DR..
]. T. Hull of Kirksville, Mo-, who is
jointly indicted with Mrs. Alma
Vaughn for the murder by poisoning
of her husband, Prof. J. T. Vaughn.
DIR. Hull greeted DR.. Hyde and was
introduced to Mrs. Hyde. He talked
er mentioned his case. The physicians
had never met before.
DIR. Hyde is a fine looking man."
said DR.. Hull. II was very glad to
meet DR.. Hull" was DR.. Hyde's re-
mark.
DR.. Hyde is disappointed because of
the delay in the case but he is philo-
sophical about it.
1T has been said that the mills of
justice grind slowly" he remarked af-
ter court.
Frank C1aypool, for whom physi-
clan was called last night to attend
an afflicted eve. told Judge Lathsaw
this morning that his optic was much
improved and he apprehended no
further trouble from it. Every effort
is being made to make the jurors
comfortable. Adjoining the criminal
court building is a baseball diamond
and arrangements have been made to
play game there with the jurymen
as spectators The jurors will be Civ
en- seats at the windows of the court
room.

GIVEN Jaw OF A CALF.
Patient Is Supplied With New Bone
and Revenge at Same Time.

Los Angeles, April 16.-The new
surgery department of the Los Angeles
county hospital has been inaugurated
with an unprecedented operation,
which supplied John Schilheimer, a
Long Beach rancher, with a part of a
calf's lower jaw to replace maxillary
bones that were destroyed when the
calf's sire, a Jersey bull, gored the
man and butted him in the face last
November. DR.. Carl Deichmiller, who
performed the operation, first picked
out a sheep to supply the needed por-
ton of the lower jaw, but Schilheimer,
who had ordered the bull slain imme-
diately after It had gored him, carried
his revenge 10 the offending animals
offspring. He could not talk, but
made his wishes known with pad and
pencil.
Let the sin of the father be visited
on the son. he wrote. xiii the Jer-
sey calf
1t was slain an hour before the oper-
alton and the living cells in the calf
bone are expected to knit with those
of the human. Three hours later
Schilheimer emerged from the anaes-
thetic with everything under the flesh
of his chin made of calf and his face
bound in a east to hold his toothless
gums. In two months it is expected
he will be fully recovered and able to
eat solid food

In his cell Carter penned poem under
the title of Ballad of Mercy" The
verses read:
Haggard faces and trembling knees,
Eyes that shine with a weakling' hate,
Lips that mutter their blasphemies,
Murderous hearts that darkly wait.
These were they who were men of late,
Fit to hold plough or a sword.
If a prayer this wall will penetrate,
Have pity on these, my comrades. Lord.
Poets sing of life at the lees
In tender verses and delicate,
OF tears and manifold agonies
Little they know of what they pirate.
Sounds deeper, wilder chord.
If song be heard through the narrow

HORSES CHLOROFORMED.
The Late @Silent" Smiths Team Put to
Death as Requested.

Chicago, April 1.-two handsome
black horses, property of the late Mrs.
Beatrice Smith of Chicago, mother of
the late James H. ("Silent") Smith,
have been chloroformed here in ac-
cordance with the dying wish of their
owner who preferred that they be kill
ed rather thar to fall into the hands Of
some one who might mistreat them.
The horses had been owned and
used by Mrs. Smith for fifteen years,
the age of one being 25 and the other
21 years. Mrs. Smiths affection for
her horses is shown in her refusal to
purchase an automobile. Although age
had rendered the team of but little
use, she refused to allow even an in
animate machine to supplant them.
