MERCHANDISE?

Spokane, Was b., May 2nd.-Attor.
ney General Bell of the state of
Washington has given an opinion to
Secretary of State Howell that a
newspaper is merchandise. The
decision was rendered in response to
a request from Mr.. Howell whether
he could permit a claim. of trade
mark to be filed for the title, Votes
For Women" for a newspaper. Mr..
Bell shows that the state law per-
mits trade mark claims to be filed
for the purpose of designating,
making known or distinguishing any
goods, wares. merchandise or other
products of labor"
Newspaper men in Spokane and
other parts of the state are divided
in their opinion regarding the
decision, it being generally accepted
that q newspaper is a product Of
labor, rather than merchandise, and
there is much comment that Mr..
Bells ruling is based upon a news
paper being merchandise. Votes
For Women" is the makr of journal
to be published in Washington as
part Of the propaganda for equal
suffrage in this state.

Expert Testifies in Hyde Trial
at Kansas City.
DEATHS NOT NATURAL

Dr.. Ludwig Hektoen Of Chicago, Who
Performed Autopsies on the Bodies
of Colonel and chrisman swope, De-
cIares That, in His Opinion, Both
Men Died From the Effects Of Some
convuIslve and Paralyxins Poison.
Kansas City, May 2.-Answering by.
pothetical questions relating to the
deaths Of Colonel and Chrisman
Swope, DR.. Ludwig Hektoen, the Chi.
cago patholegist, said in the criminal
court that in his opinion both men
died from the effects OF some convul-
sive and paralyzlng poison. Cyanide
OF potassium, testified the. scientist,
was such drug.
Nothing about tho vital organs of
either of the Swopes, upon each of
whom DR.. Hektoen performed autop.
sizes, suggested death had resulted
from natural causes.
Judge Latshaw turned over to attor-
neys for DR.. Hyde the letters relating
to the Swope analysis which passed
between John G.. Paxton and DR.. HEX
toen. The court said he had read the
missives and had found nothing
which would prove of value to the de-
Tense. In order, however, that DR..
Hyde might have every opportunity
to prove his innocence he would give
the physicians attorneys the letters,
said the court.
A recess was taken to permit the
defense to examine the letters.
Upon his return to the courtroom
Attorney Frank P. Walsh said the re.
ports saying there was no strychnine
in the contents of the stomach OF
Margaret Swope or the capsule which
DR.. Hyde threw away was not among
the papers, Mr.. Conkling responded
that in so far as he knew the state
was not in possession of such a letter.
But if he found it he would hand It
to the defense. :"
DR.. Calvin Adkins, city physician
of Independence, testified as to the
condition of Colonel Swope's body. He
did not believe the natural bodily all.
ments would have caused death.
