Paris, April 23.-Theodore Roose-

audience composed of members of the
French cabinet, students selected
from the University of Paris and many
guests, by whom the oc-
casion was regarded as the most i'm

Americans visit to France In the
course of his address Mr. Roosevelt
made reference to the subject of hu.
man rights ana property rights. He
said: my position as regards monied
interests can be put in few words.
In every civilized society property
rights must be carefully safe-guarded.
Ordinarily and in a great majority of
cases, human rights and property
rights are fundamental and in the
long run identical, but when it clear
ly appears that there is a real con-
fiict between them, human rights
must have the upper hand. Property
belongs to man and not man to prop

CONGRESS WILL
ADJOURN EARLY
1t Is Expected to Pass Five
Administration Measures
by That Time
STATEHOOD BILL AMONG THEM
Postal Savings Bank Act How
ever, viii Have Rough Time
in House.

Washington. April 23.-That Con-
gress will adjourn before the middle
of June and possibly by June l is be-
lieved by President Taft and the ad-
ministration leaders. Before that
time, it is expected that most of the
so-called administration measures now
before Congress will have been pass
ed, Or if not, be in such shape that
they can be enacted into law soon af-
ter Congress meets in December. One
thing operating in favor of the early
passage of five administration bills,
which are the railroad bill the state
hood bill, the postal savings bank bill,
the conservation biK and the anti-in-
junction BILL is the belief of the Re-
publican leaders that the surest way
to prevent further Democratic con-
gressional inroads is the passage of
these measures. The Postal Savings
bill is in more danger than any other,
It will have rough road In the House.
Taking Postmasters Out of Politics.
Washington, April 23.-Postmaster
General Hitchcock has asked Presi-
dent Taft to put under civil service
all the second and third class post
masters in the country, and to adopt
a rule that no first class postmaster
shall be deprived of his position for
any cause save the good of the serv-
ice. By such a plan, which Mr.
Hitchcock believes the President will
take steps to enforce, the postmaster
general contemplates elevating the
entire postal service above the reach
of mere job seekers and politicians
who wish to reward their constituents
with places on the federal payrols
The administration has already prac-
tically decided to put all the fourth
class postmasters under the classified
service by executive order. To ac-
complish, such a, result with. the post
masters of the Second and third class
Legislation by Congress will be neces-
sary.

Washington, D. c., April 23,-With
the evident purpose of showing that
there was a conspiracy between Gift
ford Pinchot, as chief forester, and
certain of his subordinates, to accom-
plish the removal of Secretary Bal
linger, the defense" today put on the
stand Director George A. Smith of
the geological survey TO relate a con-
yersation he had last September with
Acting Forester Price. Mr.. Smith
swore that Prince said to him: "We
like you, but we don't like your chief y
Smith said he intimated in reply
that if he did not like Mr.. Ballinger,
he would resign as director of the
geological survey. We'll, we know
you are in an embarrassing position, y
said the witness, quoting Prince, but
it won't last much longer, if we don't
get him one way We will another" The
defense regards this as an important
disclosure that if Pinchot was unsuc-
cessful in bringing about Ballingers
downfall, by proving the CLAWS
charges, he had prepared to attack
him from another quarter.

Kansas City, April 23.-Owing to
the attorneys in the Swope murder
case having made arrangements to
take another deposition in DR.. Hyde's
libel Yik there was only a morning
session of the Hyde murder trial to-
day. Miss Houlihan, the nurse, re,
sumed her testimony this morning.
Defense is Well Pleased.
Kansas City, Mo-, April 23.-Dr.
Hyde's attorneys were well pleased
with the result of the cross-eXamina-
tion of Miss Houlihan, the nurse, this
morning. Miss Houlihan admitted
she never saw Stella Swope eat any of
the candy said to have been given her
by Dr. Hyde seven days before she
was stricken. She also admitted that
she did not see Dr. Hyde administer
the capsule to Chrisman Swope the
day the patient had the first convui-
sion.
Moaned Like Dying Animal.
Kansas City, April 23.-Seven days
after Dr. B. S. Hyde gave Miss Swope
box of candy, the young woman de-
veioped typhoid fever, testified Miss
Anna Houlihan, nurse in the Swope
family, during the murder trial yes
terday afternoon.
For the first time in all the broad
investigation of the Swope tragedies
was the question of the candy brought
into the case.
The mention of the candy came as a
surprise to DR.. Hyde and his counsel,
DR.. Hyde who was sitting tilted back
in his chair, smilingly listening to the
testimony of the nurse, quickly moved
over to his attorneys and entered in
to a conference. Mrs. Hyde soon join
ed the little group and for several
minutes they talked earnestly.
1T is a significant feature, but
cannot say just what will develop
from an investigation of it," said Spe
cial Prosecutor James A.. Reed later
Attorneys for DR.. Hyde said they
did not regard the testimony seriously
The death of Chrisman Swope and
the illness of Margaret Swope were
reviewed on the witness stand today
by Miss Houlihan. She caused the
threatened wall-out of the nurses at
the Swope home and demanded an in
vestigation of DR.. Hyde December IS
Miss Houlihan was on the stand
practically all day. Her story was long
and interesting. 1t was filled with
striking utterances and vivid descrip
tions that held the attention of the
spectators.
At times the testimony was almost
gruesome. In telling of DR.. Hyde's
actions after Chrisman Swope haC
died, lying crosswise. on a bed, she
said:
DIR. Hyde grasped the dead man by
the feet and turned him around ir
bed"
How did he do it?'
Roughly" was the reply.
In attempting to initiate the moans
/ OF Chrisman and of Margaret Swope
the witness gave utterance to weirG
cry of anguish like that of a suffering
animal
Spectators unaware of her intention
to make the sound, rose quickly from
their seats thinking some ill had be
fallen her.

acts in almost the same way in Transforming
the force of side wind into force in the direc-
ton of motion of the boat. Then, if the boat
encounters no friction, it will evidently speed
up until the wind exerts no further pressure.
To when this will happen, take pencil
and sketch roughly the plan of boat, and to
give the ideas concreteness suppose the boom
is sixteen feet long and that the end is five feet
out from the center line of the boat. The base
of the triangle of which these two sides are the
hypotenuse and altitude respectively lies along
the middle line of the boat; that is, in the di
rection of motion, and by the law of squares is
approximately fifteen feet long.
Now, as the boat advances the length of this
side. or fifteen feet, the wind can blow sidewise
only the amount of sidewise displacement of
the sail from mast to end of boom; that is. five
feet. This means that the boat would have to
be going sixty miles an hour for the sail to feel
no pressure from a side wind blowing only
twenty. Since however, there is always fric
ton and air resistance to be considered, the
ideal case will never be realized and the boat
will never go quite SO fast as would be COM
puted from the velocity of the wind and the
setting of the sail
