MILITIA MAY
Be CALLED GUT
Excitement so Intense Over the Hyde
Murder Trial that Court Has
Ordered the Doors
Closed
STATE WINS mt
Prosecutions Secrets are all in the
Hands of the Defense and
an Explanation is in
Order.

KANSAS CITY, April 2i.-Excite-
ment over the Hyde murder trial was
SO intense today that Judge LatshaW
this morning ordered the court room
doors closed and said he would order
out the militia If necessary to insure
fair play for the defense.
The state won another important
point when Judge Latshaw overluled
an objection to Miss Kellars evidence
as to Marguerite Swope's illness. Miss
Kellar said she heard Or. Hyde tell
DR.. Twymann that he had given Miss
Swope an injection of oil. Witness de-
scribed Miss Swope's convulsions al
ter visit By Dr. Hyde.
An antidote was administered by DR..
Twymann and part of the elected con-
tents from her stomach put in a bot
tile. This was given to Tom Swope.
States Attorney Conklin at noon put
detectives at work to discover how
state records left the possession OF
the prosecutor. The p-esnt prcsecu
tor has no definite information. He
knows that all the guarded secrets o1
the case have been delivered to the
defense. He is not satisfied with the
report that the records were lost
found by negro woman and turned
over to Attorney Walsh.
4 The adjournment -Four was rendered
exciting by clashes between the law
! yers. Miss Kellar will be cross,ex
Ial.lined this afternoon.

HUGHTOWN, st. Marys, Sicily ISL
ands, April 21-The inhabitants of
the rocky Sicily Islanus were famous
wreckers in primitive times, but the
present islanders will forever remem-
ber this as the greatest day in their
history. The Atlantic transport liner
Minnehaha, which ran ashore early
Monday morning, disgorged part OF her
III 900 tons of valuable cargo, casting
it upon the waters all day long, to be
gathered up by taose who cared to
take the trouble.
Farming and fishing were aban-
doned, school even was dismissed, and
most of the population of the islands,
men, women and children, devoted
/ themselves to obtaining treasures
from the waves.
/ TIE salvagers decided to try to res
icue the Minnnnehaha in the same way
they did the White Star steamship
/ Srevic, which went ashore near the
Lizard in March, l907--by cutting hel
in falf Every effort to tighten the
ship is now imperative. The waves
beat up too high and strong for tugs
to go alongside. Consequently good:

Falmouth, could raise them to th'

Huge eases containing automobile

a great splash Sewing machines AM
clocks went with them, while Michigan
furniture noated everywhere. Man
bales Of cigarettes bobbed on the sun

American novels drifted to the nearb
shores of Bryer, where they were pile
like seaweed.
Tidings of this jettison of wealt

DISARMAMENT OF
ATLANTIC FLEET
Secretary Knox Says that the Plan
ie Practicable by the Establish
ment Of Court.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The
ultimate disarmament of the nations
of the world is practicable, in the opin-
Ion OF Secretary Knox He believes
that the establishment of a court oi
arbitral justice to which the nations
of the world may appeal, will nave
that effect, as its own natural conse-
quence OF not merely reducing arina-
ment but ultimately making iarse
armaments unnecessary.
Knox is unwilling to go into aetaiis
as to progress made, but it Is known
that reports so far received justify the
expectation that court OF arpi.rai
Justice will be established before tne

says that President Has Accomplished
More in One Year Than
Roosevelt Did in
Four
A GREAT ENDORSEMENT
Hearst Does Not Believe there is
Another Man in the Party
Who Could do so
Much.

WASHINGTON, April Pin the
York. Taft has accomplished more in
his first year than Roosevelt did in
his first term. Further, he says,
Roosevelt entered the white house
when the country was fairly prosper
Gus, and left it in state of panic.
Taft entered when the conditions
were troubled, and at the end of his
first year, the country is in a fair
state of prosperity. Mr.. Hearst, in a
statement issued last night, shows
an interest in President Taft's admin
istration, crediting him with earnest
ness, sincerity and efficiency.
Mr. Hearst has been in Washing
ton for two days on business, and at
tending to social duties. and called
at the white house and chatted with
the president for thirty minutes. He
told the newspaper men that his visit
was purely of social nature.
In his statement Mr.. Hearst says
one can not talk with the president
without an appreciation of Taft's
earnestness, sincerity, and personal
ly, believe in his efficiency
Taft will probably not conclude
his term with a panic" he says
Taft found the country in state Of
panic and placed it in high state o.
prosperity at the end of the year
Roosevelt entered in prosperity anG
left the country panicky. Taft, IL
my Judgment, will do the things thai
Roosevelt should have done and did
not do Mr. Hearst says.
Speaking of railroad legislation he
said Taft is trying to stiffen into fr
active force, the spineless railroad rate
bill of the last administration.
Taft is prosecuting the sugar
trust, the evidence against which
was smothered by the Roosevelt I'd
ministration. TAFT has passed th'
corporation tax bill, the over-capi> q
ization bill, the postal savings banl
bill, and is trying to get through tn
parcels post and the income tax bills
If the people want more Q
achievement than Taft is giving them
they must turn TO another party, TO
! don't believe there is another ma
in the republican party who viii d
more or do SD much
Concluding his statement, Nj
Hearst says the republican party
more than the friend of the tariff
1t is the father of the tariff and tn
mother of the trusts. We can surel
never hope to see either the tariff c
the trusts much molested by the
close family connection in the repul
lican party
While republicans are trying
guess why Mr.. Hearst has bange
Roosevelt and boosted Taft in tn
way just after visit at the VIII
house, democrats were struggling WI
problem of why Hearst was pralsif
a republican administration so stron
IL. They recall that it was only
few nights ago that John Temp
Graves delivered a message from N
Hearst to the democrats assemble
here at the Jefferson day dinner. II
purport of this message was that M
Hearst was willing to come back III
