FOREIGN DECORATIONS
DENIED TO OFFICERS
American in Official Life Practically Barred from Re
ceiving Titles or Gifts in the Future

II recommendation made by the Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Relations are
accepted by Congress. no American Of
fetal in the future will be allowed to
accept a foreign title. Also decoration
may be accepted only in rare cases for
highly meritorious and extraordinary
acts.
Little presents inteded as souvenirs and
marks OF courtesy may be accepted in
certain instances. while such trifiing
gifts as photographs may be accepted
by almost anybody IN the government
service.
These rules were laid down by the
committee in passing on some 2OO-odd
decorations and gifts that are now in the
possession OF tho State Department. and
the members OF the committee recon-
mend that the regulations be adopted by
Congress for guidance in future cases.
The 800 decorations and gifts now in
the hands of the State Department were
conferred on officials of this country by
foreign governments The Constitution
OF the United States prevents the ac-
ccptance OF these favors without tho
consent CT Congress. These requests for
authority have been accommodating since
1906. but the Senate committee has pass
ed favorably upon only thirty OF them.
It looks now as II the State Depart
ment would have about 10 decorations
and gifts upon It's hands.
The action OF the Senate committee, as
reported by Senator Root. attracted a
good deal OF attention at the Capitol. and
there was a good deal OF curiosity TO
ascertain who among the officials of the
government have been favored by foreign
nations
Among the number recommended favor
ably by the committee are Rear Admiral
Charles S. Sperry, who was in charge of
the American battle ship feet that made
the trip around the world, and who re-
ceived a silver flower bowl as a token
of appreciation from the Emperor of
japan; Capt Dorr r. Tozier, who re-
ceived a sword from the King OF Eng
land for assistance rendered in the search
for II. M. S. Condor along the west coast
Of Vancouver Island. and Capt V. H.
who received a sword from the
Emperor of Germany after the Pekin
campaign.

Against Monopoly.

In discussing the conservation move
ment and its objects, Mr.. Garfield said
that the principal object was to prevent
monopolistic control
'All persons are agreed as to that, are
they not?" asked Mr.. Vertress.
81 am afraid not" replied Mr.. Garfield
II am afraid that unless there is a re-
striction by Congress, there will be a
monopoly of the water power"
Mr.. Vertrees introduced a letter writ
ten to Mr. Garfield by Director Smith,
of the Geological Survey. dealing with
Withdrawals made by the Reclamation
Service, and called attention TO the fact
that the information contained In that
letter was not used by Mr.. Garfield in
his letter to the President. Mr. Gar.
field replied that he had his information
direct from the Reclamation Service.
He declared that the Smith letter and
Information given to the press by Smith
was unfair and prepared for the pur-
pose Of discrediting the Garfield admins
tration.
When A. P. Davis, chief engineer of
the Reclamation Service. was called TO
the stand he declared that he did not
wish to testify unless ordered by the
committee to do so.
Chairman Nelson informed him that he
had been invited to come before the COM
mittee at the behest of counsel for Pin
chot, and that II he did not take the wit
ness stand voluntarily it would be SIM
pie matter TO issue subpoena. Davis
waived the subpoena and began his testi-
mony. He had scarcely begun his de-
scription Of the service with which he is
when the committee adjourned
until 10 o'clock this morning.

correspondence between the two read to-

Mr.. Vertrees' cross-examlnation Of Mr..
Garfield in the early part of the day
as to the merits Of the Gale bill. drafted
by Mr.. Ballinger and advocated by him
before the House Committee on Public
Lands, was not particularly productive
OF results.
Mr.. Garfield insisted that he was even
now uncertain as to the meaning of
some portions Of the bill. He could not
state positively. however. that the bill
would validate any fraudulent claims.
It was during a discussion about the
power exercised by him as Secretary or
the Interior that Mr.. Garfield lost his
patience for the first time since he has
been on the witness stand.

LIFE SENTENCE EOR HYDE
To Get Control of Millions Belong
ing to Col. Swope, Whose
Daughter His Wife

Kansas City, May l6.-Dr. B. &.
Hyde was charged during his trial
with series of startling poisonings,
having for their object the gaining of
control of the fortune of Col. Thomos
H. Swope, the millionaire philan-
thropist
Col. Swope died on October last,
after severe convulsion. 1t was
charged that this convulsion followed
the taking of capsule prescribed by
DR.. Hyde and the capsule contained
cyanide of potassium, deadly poison.
DR.. Hyde said the capsule was diges-
tive tablet. On January 18th Col.
Swope's body was removed from its
tomb for chemical analysis of the in
ternal organs, which disclosed, accord
ing to chemists reports, 52-66 of grain
of strychnine.
Two days before Col. Swope's death
Mr.. Hunter, his cousin and business
adviser, died at the Swope house of
apoplexy. 1t was charged at the trial
that DR.. Hyde bled Mr.. Hunter too
profusely after the apopletic attack.
DR.. Hyde sat motionless. He looked
firmly at Judge Latshaw while the
verdict was being received. AS the
words imprisonment in the state
penitentiary during his natural life, !"
were pronounced he gazed steadily at
the floor.
The physician will be sentenced in
open court by Judge Latshaw either
Thursday or Friday. The law allows
the defence four days in which to file
motion for a new trial and DR.. Hyde's
counsel announced that new trial
will be requested.
"Treat that prisoner the same as any
other" Judge Latshaw ordered County
Marshall Joel d. Moyes. ''Glve him
few privileges and no luXuries." DR..
Hyde will be allowed to send out for
his meals, privilege common to all
prisoners.
An hour after the verditc was reach
ed Mrs. Hyde was able to go to her
home.
Frank P. Walsh, the leading counsel
for DIR. Hyde said:
"The case will be appealed and we
have every confidence in its final out
come.
