tectives working for the defense of
DR.. B. c. Hyde, charged with the
murder of Colonel Thomas H.
Swope, the Kansas City millionaire
philanthropist, declare today that
they have made two important dis
coveries, that will have g bearing on
the case.
One is, they declare, that Colonel
Swope was habitual user of
strychnine, unlimited by medical
advice. The other is that Professor
Haines and Professor Hektoen, the
Chicago scientists who are relied on
by the prosecution to prove that
Swope met his death through poison,

cussing the incident, was firm in his
stand that the pardoning of Cooper
was only an act of justice, inasmuch
as Cooper could not, under the cir
cumstances, have had a fair trial.
The governors friends are stand
ing by him Loyalty. Today they urge
him to enter the race for senator. If
he does so, the whole matter will
again become food for political con-
troversy, say those who want Patter-
son to stay out of the senatorial race,
and the Carmack-Cooper troubles
will continue for a long time to
come.
1t is generally predicted here that
Robin Cooper, whose 2O-year SEN
tenee was overruled, will never be re-
tried. 1t is believed that the state
will soon make some move to have
case dropped from the record,
either by moving that it be dismissed
OF the indictment quashed.
Feeling against Governor Patter-
son here is so strong that plain
clothes detectives surround the ex-
ecutive mansion. Governor Patter-
son is reported to have slipped out
of town this morning, and gone
quietly to his country home near
Clarksville, where he will stay for an
indefinite time.
The feeling against Governor Pat
terson is not reflected in the attitude
of the people towards Colonel Duncan
Cooper, whose pardon caused the
storm against the chief executive.
Burned in Efigy.
Columbia, Tenn, April 14.-Indig-
nation is rife here today over the ac-
tion of Governor Patterson in par
doning Colonel Duncan B. Cooper,
who was sentenced to 20 years i'm
for the murder of former
United States Senator Edward w.
Carmack. Columbia is near the
home of the Carmack family.
The news of the governors action
reached here last evening, and mob
quickly gathered and burned the
states chief executive in effigy.
Mrs. Carmack, widow of the sena-
tor, refused to comment on the gov
step, or the action of the state
supreme court in affirming the 20
year sentence that had been pro-
nounced on Cooper.

SWAMP LANDS MUST BE RECLAIMED.

The present Congress at Washing ton will adjourn presently, and it's work will be subjected to a general review, says the St. Louis Times.
 The result will be deplorable showing of much time spent in bick- erings, in fights between politicians in political matters in which the pub lie should have little or no interest.
 And against this record of failure to attend to the public business broad-mindedly and with a realiza- ation of what first-class citizenship means, there is the fact that oppor- tunities for establishing record have been crying aloud for attention.
 The foremost fact in American af- fairs for the past year is that the price of living has advanced to a point unprecedented, barring the ab- normal imitation of values during the Civil war. The people in control at Washington, who have turned a deaf ear to criticisms of the present tar if schedules, have explained the ir-

ed to another disease-breeding mud hole and moss-covered pond almost in the heart of the business district yes- terday, and was asked to call Mayor Toneys attention to same. The pond is also inhabited by bull frogs and if the Mayor waits a few days it will contain an abundance of water lilies. The "disgraceful hole'' is on the lot recently purchased by B. B. Veil on Barraque street adjoining the old scull property. Maybe City San- itarian Parnell will give the nuisance some attention, if his attention is called to it.
 The property owners on the North side of Barraque street, between Wal nut and Chestnut streets would like for Mayor Toney to explain why the city employees were permitted to dump a lot of dirt and rubbish in the alley in the rear of their property, espe- cially after they had gone to the trouble and expense of having the al-
 ley paved with cinders, making 1t one of the best in the city.

sprinkled before the noisy. dust spreading sweeper is operated over them, they will appeal to the courts to remedy the evil.
 w. L. Cosper. who has given the subject of Tuberculosis much study and who is at present conducting an exhibit in this city to enlighten the people, both white and black, and urge them to resort to modern me- thods to prevent the spread of the disease, was amazed to witness the germ-spreader at work Friday night before II o'clock. He declared that the air is filled with germs by it and that it is one of the most harm full things that this city tolerates. Mayor Toney and all tbe aldermen are ''home in bed,' at least they ought to be, when the sweeper gets in it's deadly work. But there are hundreds of people down towp in various buildings and upon the streets who realize the disgusting effect of the sweeper.
 The sweeper had not been in op- eration thirty minutes before the phone began ringing at the Graphic office and complaints came in rap- idly. People in their homes are forc- ed to close their doors and windows these hot nights to avoid inhaling the awful clouds of dust that are sent into their rooms. Downtown stores cafes hotels and offices, that are open during the night, are also fill l ed with dust and gravel and some thing must be done to stop it.
 The Council has been petitioned to discontinue the sweeper Or sprinkle the streets before it's use, but the petitioners evidently were not influ- encial enough to prompt them to take any action If it had been some o1 Mayor Toney's political friends, ol some person to whom the Councilmer felt indebted there would possibly |have been a different story to tell
 At any rate hundreds of Pine
 Bluffians want the strdet sweeper nuisance abated some way, and it i:
 up to the City Council to take some faction, if Mayor Toney does not in lterest himself enough to do so.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1910-06-19
PLEASE, MIR. MAYOR, OH, PLEASE.


 The germ-spreading street sweeper is on the street again much to the regret of hundreds of Pine Bluffs citizens but our people will most likely have to get on their knees to Mayor Toney to induce him to eith- CT have the streets sprinkled before they are swept or abandon the idea of sweeping them entirely with the old piece of machinery. How many times will it be necessary for this paper and our citizens to call the attention of Mayor Toney and the aldermen to the disgraceful street sweeping? How will our people have to proceed to get relief? They do not think it necessary to go into the courts and ask for an injunction against the city, but some ot them declare that unless the Mayor or the council takes the old sweeper off the streets or makes some arrange ment Yhereby the streets shall be

THE DAVIS HOSPITAL.

On the first page of the Graphic is
 the Davis Hospital honor roll, includ-
 ing the names of individuals and firms who have agreed to donate $2.50 per
 months to aid in maintaining the new Davis Hospital for at least one year. after which time it is hoped to make the institution self-supporting. To all of these men and firms the people of
 Pine Bluff owe much. Their enter prise and generosity is to be com mended. They are the kind of men
 who make cities out of towns and who succeed because they have the
 best interests of. their city at heart.
 The Davis Hospital is needed. It is true that Pine Bluff has two well equipped and modern private hosplt-
 als, but there is no public hospital here and city the size of Pine Blur demands one of the sort of the new 1 institution. There are only a 1ew
 more subscribers to be listed and Ithey will be secured by Monday night.
 Az soon as the subscriptions are
 complete the Davis Hospital will be thrown open and then Pine Bluff will have added another institution oi

flation of prices by saying that the farmer is not harvesting crops pro- portionate to the growth in popula- tion.
 If this be true-as it doubtless is in part-how can Congress explain these two fac.s: Americans. largely of the agrarian classes, are going to Canada at the rate of 90,000 a year. Fact second is that on June 7 the Senate refused to make an appropriation of $150,000 for the re- claiming of all or a part of 25,000,- coo acres of swamp lands, lying mostly in the Missouri Valley, and comprising much of the richest soil in America.
 We can find no answer to the first question. The farmers are going to Canada because the Canadian govern ment has wisely discovered that it is a better policy to foster the enter prises of the millions of farmers than to promote the interests of a com paratively few corporations.
 Thus the second question takes the form of an arraignment, and be- comes unanswerable.
 American business demands the retirement of the politician. It de. mands that the swamp lands be re- claimed. People in all lines of en-
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1910-06-19

terprise make the demand. The rail- roads need to handle the train loads of crops which should be growing annually in the now submerged lands in Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Mls- sissippi and other States. The farmers plainly need the land; the people need products of the farm at reason able prices, and not those which are shipped at prohibitive prices, as IS to some extent now the case, from other countries. The mechanic neeos the work which would be provided by the towns which would spring up if the swamps were reclaimed.
 The need has been ignored by the politicians at Washington. It IS no" ''up to- the public.
 What does the voter mean to do as a rebuke to a body of men who nas0 permitted the most magnificent op' portunity of the century 10 sAp through their fingers?
 The Times believes that the on'''0 States will claim the gift of 20'ooV'- 900 acres of land, added to It's laiA- ing area. It believes that the eA0- dus of 9o,oo0 people annually liou this country to Canada will be cnecA ed. And when every voter 0'l braces this belief, the thing "" speedily come to pass.

DEMOCRATS OF
/. PHOENIX WILL
HOLD MEETING
Tomorrow They viii Decide on
Plans in Harmony With
Laws of 1901, as Required
by Act.

PHOENIX July 22.-An important
meeting OF the Maricopa democratic
committee win be held Saturday morn
ing at 10 O'Clock in the offices of Dis
trict Attorney Lyman, at which mat
tiers relating to the calling Of primar-
les TO select delegates TO the cinven-
ton that will nominate constitutional
delegates will be considered.
Under the laws of 1901, which the
statehood bill provides must govern
in this election the manner of Sc
lecting candidates is left entirely in
the hands of the political parties.
It practically sends the party back
to the days when it made all its
own regulations.
In all probability Saturdays meet
ing will decide TO hold, primaries
to select the members of the party
convention which viii take place
about thirty days before the election
on September u.
Several members of the committee
are strongly in favor Of proceeding
the same as If the laws Of 1905 were
in effect. These are for a party pri-
mary at which the candidates are
selected. They are nominated for
the primary in any manner the party
resires. usually by precinct caucus.
Calling the primary and fixing the
convention date are now the two
most important steps to be taken
With the election now less than two
months OF it is desired to get things
started as soon as possible in order
to give the candidates nominated a
campaign Of about thirty days.
At Saturdays session it is prob
able that a committee win be APP
pointed as was suggested several
days ago to take charge of the
framing of a plank for the county
platform that viii endorse the COM
plan city government.
Chairman Lyman and others have
expressed themselves as favorable
TO this step.
