after she had given him capsule at
the direction Of DR.. B. C. Hyde, were
two startling statements made under
oath by John G. Paxton, executor Of
the SWope estate today.
These new and important features in
the SWOpe mystery were revealed by Mr..
Paxton only after ne had been threat
ened with commitment II he refused 10
answer the questions asked MIN by Frank
=. Walsh DIT. Hyde's attorney. Mr. Pax
ton was giving his deposition in the SIAN
der suit for $4,000 brought against him
by DR.. Hyde
Miss Swope is a niece of the late Colo

Dr. Hyde cared FOR her.

ties in the contents OF Miss SWOpe's stOm-
ach by DR.. Victor Vaughn said Mr..
Paxton.

Attorney Walsh eagerly demanded of
the witness:

Dr.. Hyde gave Chrisman SwOpe?"
i do not remember the exact words,
answered Mr. Paxton, but Miss HOule-
han told me that DR.. Hyde had given her
a capsule to administer to Chrisman

said:
People are being murdered in this
house" The departure Of DIT. Hyde and
mis- wife from the home followed amid
q fearful scene. Accusations were made
regarding the physician. His wife, in the
house of her mother. stood firmly by him
as he Was turned away from her parental
doors.
Much time was passed in questioning
Mrs. Paxton regarding letter he wrote
To Stewart 5. Fleming. one Of the SWOpe
heirs, telling him of the mystery. 1t was
upon this letter that DR.. Hyde brought
his suit

ALWAYS
PROVES TRUE.
John Hays Hammond Princi-
pal Speaker at the Banquet
Of the Ohio League Of Re
publican Clubs at Dayton.

Dayton, Feb. 12.-John Hays Ham
mond. president Of the National
League Of Republican clubs, was one
of the principal speakers at the BAN
quet of the Ohio League Of Republi-
can clubs tonight.
MI. Hammond declared that he had
found from investigation that griev-
ances existing in the ranks of the Re
publican party are petty and not fun
damental and more imaginary than
real, and that it is in times Of politi-
cal inactivity that factiOnal differ
ences and chickering's arise.
He continued, in part:
in political crises of this kind. Ohio
has always been conspicuous for her 10y
atty to country and party.
There is rapidly growing demand on
the part OF the electorate of the country
that the national platforms of the great
political parties shall represent the re-
spactive issues for which these parties
contend. that these platforms shall say
what they mean and mean what they say,
and that ambiguous or disingenuOus
blanks shall be no longer tolerated as de-
vices to obtain votes and further, that
the President elected by either party. hay
ing subscribed TO the principles euun-
ciated i'm the platform of that party. is
pledged TO the people of the country TO
exercise his utmost endeavOrs to secure
the enactment Of the promised legislation
and ne becomes therefore not only the
titular but the responsible. head Of the
party by which he is elected.
In view of these facts, the National
League Of Republican Clubs recognizes
President Taft as the responsible head of
the Republican party.
The name of William Howard Taft Of
Ohio supplied the enthusiasm for the
campaign work Of our clubs in the recent
national election. The name of President
Taft and the policies for which he stands
will supply the National League of Re
publican Clubs tine requisite enthusiasm
for effective service whenever Republican
party supremacy is threa tened

forcement of the law is not consistent
with the present method of carrying
on business then it does not speak
we'll for the present methods Of con-
Quoting business and they must be
changed to conform to the law"
This was President Taft's answer
to Wall street and its cry of panic
It was made to a cheering audience
composed of hundreds of Republicans
gathered tonight at the annual Lin
ooln-day dinner of the Republican
club of this city at the WaldOrf-As-
toria.
Mr.. Taft adhered to his purpose of dis
cussing platform pledges and how they
should be kept. Tt was at the conclusion
of a detailed argument as to how the
Republican party is redeemiug its pledges
that he came to a discussion of the anti
trust law and Wall street. on which his
utterances had been waited with greatest
interest.
The President declared that the admin
istratiOn would not fOOlishly run amuCk
fidence Just for the pleasure of doing so
NO one" he continued, has the motive
as strong as the administration in power
TO cultivate and-strengthen business con-
fidenCe and prosperity. But there was
no promise OH the part of the Republican
party to change the antitrust law except
to strengthen it. of course, the govern
mcnt at washington can be counted on to
enforce the law in the best way CalCU-
lated to prevent a destruction of public
confidence IN business. but that ii must
enforce the law goes without saying"
Dismissed insurgents.
