Critics of the school systems assert
that children are forced too much. that
they are over-stimulated and are set
impossible tasks. An instance is given
of a 13-year-old boy who had failed to
do Latin exercise properly and was
sent home 10 his father. The boy, th'
moment he entered his fathers room
shot himself. In identical circum
stances another boy threw himself ou

stopped but not until DIR. Twynan
had repeatedly protested that too much
blood was being taken from the old
man.
Beginning early in December, an
epidemic of typhoid fever broke out in
the Swope home, in which ten members
of the family were stricken and one,
Chrisman Swope, a brother of DR..
Hyde's wife, died.
Chrisman died after taking a cap
sule given at DIR. Hyde's direction and
after suffering a CONFUSION similar to
the one that attacked Colonel Swope.
Margaret SWope, Chrisman's sister
who was also treated by DR.. Hyde, had
a convulsion after taking n capsule
but she was given an emetic imme-
diately by DIR. TWyman and recovered.
On February the body of Chrisman
Swope was secretly exhumed, and four
days later the body of Colonel SWope
was removed from its tomb and the
visceras of the bodies were taken to
Chicago for analysis. The analysis of
the liver of Colonel SWope's body re-
suited in the finding of fifty-two sixty
sixths of a grain of strychnine by the
Chicago chemists
The coroner of this county then sum-
moned a jury, which, after investi-
eating the death of Colonel Swope, de-
cided that he died as the result of
Stfycnnlne poisoning, administered at
the direction of DR.. Hyde
The county prosecut then issued a
warrant charging Dr.. Hyde with mur-
der in the first degree after John G.
Paxton, executor of the Swope estate,
had filed an information against the
physician. Judge Latshaw then i'm
paneled a grand jury, which was or
dered to investigate every phase of the
Swope mystery.
The grand jury returned indictments
charging Dr. Hyde with murder in the
first degree in connection with the
deaths of Colonel Swope and Chrisman
Swope and manslaughter in connec-
tion with the death OF Moss Hunton.
In all DR.. Hyde was indicted on
eleven counts, the remaining indict-
ments charging him with trying to
murder members of tie Swope family
by introducing typhoid germs and poi
sons into the medicines administered
bV him.

BRYAN FAVORS COUNTY
OPTION IN NEBRASKA
Commoner Wants Special Ses-
sion of Legislature to Pass
Initiative and Referendum

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., May 16.--
Speaking at the Overland theater here
tonight after being refused the use of
the court house, William j. Bryan
urged an extra session of the legisIa-
ture to enact the initiative and referen-
dunn, whereby the question of county
option might be removed from partisan
politics.
Rumors that Mr. Bryan would re-
ceiVe a chilling reception we're not full
filled. The crowd, which was large,
was respectful and attentive.
Mr.. Bryan said the saloon interests
are so opposed to county option they
were unwilling the people should vote
on the question.
He criticised the attitude of the anti
optionists of this county, who, he said,
went so far as to discourage the free
discussion of the initiative and ref
erendum, and concluded:
'"The liquor interests are RESPONSE
BILE for the forcing of the county op-
tion question into the arena of politics
and they have only themselves to blame
for the results that shall follow the
growing indignation against the impu-
dence, the insolence and the sordidness
of the liquor interests"

COMMERCE COURT
IS SAVED TO TAFT
Senate Defeats CumminS' Motion
to Strike Out Entire
Six Sections
WON BY REGULARS
Iowa Senator Offers Several
Amendments Which May
Be Voted on Today
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Whatever
may be the fate of other provisions of
the railroad bill. the proposal to estah-
lsh a court of commerce will be re-
tained, the senate today taking affir-
native action in that direction as the
house previously had done.
The vote was obtained on motion
by Senator Cummins to strike out the
entire six sections providing for the
establishment of the court. The mo-
tion was defeated, 2S to 81.
The entire negative vote was cast by
Republicans, although eight Republi-
cans voted with the Democrats in sup
port of the motion.
The affirmative Republican votes
were cast by Senators Borah, Craw-
ford, BeVeridge, Bristow, Clapp, Cum
Minis, Dolliver and Lafollette.
The action was a distinct triumph
for the regulars" and was the first
fruit of recent efforts to solidify the
administration forces.
MIR. Bacon presented an amendment
substituting the United States circuit
for the court of commerce in the trial of
commerce cases, but it was voted down
without division.
The same fate also met an amend
ment by Mr.. Cummins reducing the
membership of the court from five to
three.
Following these votes Mr.. Cummns
offered amendments modifying his sub
stitute for the stock and bond pro-
visions, and substituting for the United
States the interstate commerce COM
mission as defendant in cases in the
court of commerce involving orders
of the commission. Neither was dis
posed of during the day.
During the debate Mr.. C1app said
he found in the court provision ten
dency toward Capitalization.
Declaring that if all senators should
vote their honest convictions the court
section would be voted out. Mr.. Ba-
con said he would rather lose his right
arm than be responsible for so radical
a change in the judiciary as was con-
templated. He urged senators not to
vote to strike down the great judiciary
system for some foolish sentiment
or other impulse
Mr.. Hepburn made a general argu-
ment in opposition to the proposed
court The Idaho senator declared that
it would not be a court at law, but
merely an equity court and said no
other court in the country was consti-
tuted on this principle
Mr. Nelson announced his determi-
nation to vote to retain the court sec
ton. because he thought the estab-
lishment of the court would result in
the eXpediting of interstate railroad
cases.

TROOPS SENT To QUELL
FOREIGNERS IN STRIKE
Fifteen Hundred Rioters Drive
Rioters from Cement Plant
at Hannibal, Mo.

HANNIBAL. Mo. May 16.-The
strike of 1900 foreigners at the Atlas
Portland Cement company's plant at
Ilasco, four miles south of here, as
sumed a serious aspect tonight.
Reports of firearms and shouts OF
drunken men caused hurryup orders
for companies c of Kirksville and E
of Hannibal. They arrived at mid
night. A clash between the troops and
the strikers is feared.
The companies at Ilasco will be
joined by two companies from st.
Louis and one from Louisiana, when
it is the intention to move on the
plant just outside of Ilasco.
Col. w. j. Hill Of Governor Had
leys staff delegated by the executive
to Investigate the situation, reported
shortly before midnight that he ex-
pected trouble. He asked the governor
to declare the place under martial law
and to order the saloons closed.
The men, dissatisfied with labor con-
ditions. struck at noon and forced the
company to shut down the plant,
throwing 2100 employees out of work
They We're paid off and began drink
ing.
Several hundred Americans living
here who went to Ilasco were ordered
to remain on the train and return to
this city.
The strikers drove everybody op-
posed to them off the streets Of Ilasco
and the county authorities, fearing Sc
rious trouble appealed to the governor
for protection.
The present trouble is the outcome
of a strike of a year ago when the
foreigners demanded higher wages
Thev have made no demands thus far,
but have simply quit work.

MANUFACTURERS WANT
TO IMPORT SKILLED MEN
Urge an Amendment to Contract
Labor Law and Canadian
Deep Water Canal

NEW YORK, May 16.-Three impor-
tant subjects for the consideration of
the government were put forward today
in the opening session of the annual
convention of the National Association
of Manufacturers.
One urges the participation by the
country in the building of deep water
canal through Canada as a means of
aiding the transportation of ores and
grains in the lake regions; another,
amendment of immigration laws to pro-
vide more liberal terms for the admis-
sion of skilled labor, and the third
steps to see that aliens are distributed
in the farming sections where they are
needed, instead of being allowed to con-
gregate in large cities, also were ad-
Vocated.
The recommendation of the committee
on immigration in connection with the
contract labor law was as follows:
THAT it shall be lawful to import
skilled labor when the persons import
ing cannot obtain laborers of like kind
in this country who will work for him
at the rate of wages prevailing gener-
ally in this country for such labor"
WILL OPPOSE HIGHER RATES
Attention was called to the question
of freight rates, with the recommen-
dation that preparations be made to
oppose an increase in rates as pro-
posed by the trunk line associations.
Figures are cited to show that at
present rates the roads have pros
pered.
The subject of immigration was dis
cussed at length by Ormsby McHarg,
former assistant secretary of the de-
partment of commerce and labor. The
problem, as he saw it, was proper dis
tribution, rather than exclusion.
1.-The problem must be solved by the
government" he said. ut is absurd
to talk of building a Chinese wall about
this nation. We have neither the legal
right, viewed from the standpoint of
international law, nor the power to
keep out desirable persons
Gwen China may, and she should,
resent our treatment of her people.
Our reckless disregard for the feelings
of these people has cost us the great
est market in the world. A distribu-
tion of the immigration from the east
coast to the west would make an end
to the yellow peril
"All sections of the country have
benefited in the past by immigration,
with the exception of the south, and
the south should be educated in this
regard"

service by Secretary Ballinger today.

The text of the secretary's letter to

"Sir: You are hereby discharged
from the public service because you
are unworthy to remain in it. In di-
vulging information obtained by you
in the confidential relation of steno-

ior; in communicating that informa-

vice, you are hereby dismissed. Res
pectfully,

Mr. Frederick NJ. Kerby. Washing
ton, D. c." f~4'si
Kerby said the secretary's action
had not been a surprise to him.
"Of course, when l issued my state
ment," he added, II realized that the
secretary would take some such ac-
tion. AS to the charges made by Sec
retary Ballinger against me, am per-
fectly willing to leave to the Judgment
of the people of the country as to
whether I acted treacherously or pa
triotically. and I fell certain the gen
eral verdict will be in my favor At
any rate, I think Secretary Ballinger
is not an excellent judge of ethics"
