Sentence Is Passed Upon DR.. B.
C. Hyde.
An Appeal Is Filed by Condemn
ed Mans Lawyers.
MUST STAY IN JAIL.
Until the Case Is Taken Up by
Higher Court.
Penalty Includes the Performs
ance of Hard Labor.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 5.@Dr. b. c.
Hyde, convicted of having poisoned
Col. Thomas H. Swope, the million
aire philanthropist, was sentenced to
life Imprisonment at hard labor by
Judge Ralph S. Latshaw in the GRIM
maj court here this morning.
An appeal to the state supreme
court was filed by Hyde's attorney
and until it is taken up by the high
er court the prisoner will remain in
the county Jail here
Ihe noted case was called by Judge
lsstshaw as soon as court was opened
TINS morning. The doctor and his wife.
VINO mad stood by him SO faithfully sat
slde by side and held each others hand.
Judge Latshaw promptly overruled the
motion for arrest of Judgment and
commanded DR.. Hyde to stand up. Be
fore passing sentence he asked the
prisoner II he had anything to say.
DR.. Hyde, smiling and very calm, re-
piled, Il didn't hear you, Judge"
Have you anything to say why SEN
tence should not be passed upon you?"
repeated the judge.
My attorneys will talk for me-, said
DR.. Hyde simply.
AT this point Attorney Lucas for the
Gefense arose and told the court he
had nothing to say, as DIR. Hyde re-
r.ained, Judge Latshaw continued,
u. II.
Is that you be confined in the state
penitentiary at Jefferson City at hard
labor Tor and during the period of your
Natural life"
moment later DIR. Hyde had re-
sumed his seat by his wife at the at
torney'S table.
His attorney asked the court to grant
bail. This Judge Latshaw said he could
rot do and then Mr.. Lucas presented
an affidavit for an appeal to the state
supreme court. This was accepted by
Judge Latshaw and Hyde was remand
ed to the county jail
The court said the prisoner would be
kept there until the supreme court had
passed finally upon his case. As the
court does not meet until the first week
In September and as it has a heavy
i docket, 1T is the belief of the attor-
ReyS that the case can not be reached
Tor at least six months.
During today's proceedings in court
DR.. Hyde maintained the same DELHI
crate demeanor that marked his con-
Guct throughout the long trial He
did today what attorneys said was an
unusual thing. After having been. sem
fenced and before he signed the affi-
oavlt for appeal, the doctor calmly read
through the long document word by
word, giving no sign of emotion. Fin
ally, having completed the pcrusai, he
afnxed his signature, turned toward his
wife and engaged her in conversation.
A minute or SO later the doctor and
Mrs. Hyde were conducted to an ante
room where they were permitted to
confer for some time. Then HYDE re-
turned to his cell.

She WEDS A PRINCE
Dorothy Deacon Becomes the Bride of
RadZiwilI in London.

London, July 5.-Miss Dorothy Dea-
con, daughter of the late Edward Par
Eer Deacon and Prince Antoine Albert
Mary's church, Cadogan square The
ceremony was a quiet one. without
bridesmaids and only a few relatives
and near friends attending. Lord Grey
De Ruthyd gave away the bride.
Prince Radziwill married against the
determined opposition of his mother,
who is supposed to be in Austria, to
attend the wedding of a younger son.
This London ceremony was postponed
a few days ago because necessary docu-
nents wanted by English law had not
arrived and it was then reported in So
ciety that the objections of the princes
mother had prevailed.

SANTA FE TO BUY NEW PIL1NG
Company Buys Trees From Burned
Over Area in Oregon.

Portland, Ore, July 5.-Ravages of
forest fires along the Oregon coast are
to be repaired. partially at least, for
timbermen are now planning to put
the burned over trees to good use. Of
course this will be impossible with a.
great deal of the timber that was eth
er totally consumed or partially de-
stroyed. There remains. however. a
great quantity of timber that was only
scorched and blackened.
A contract has Just been made with
the Santa Fe railroad by a logger near
Marshfield, Or. to supply 1900 piling
from a tract of burnt cedar. This ma
terial has for years been thought to
be utterly useless. Now it is believed
it can be put to- as good use as green
cedar, in fact it is claimed by some
that the action of the fire will improve
the piling, making it far less subject
to decay.
The result of the experiment will be
watched with much interest, whatever
the outcome, for if burned cedar piling
is found to be suitable for railroad use
in bridge work, there is great guam
tity of the scorched trees that will be
put to good use. The Santa offers
to buy much of this piling later if the
first supply is satisfactory.
1t is now thought that the same tim
ber may be used for other purposes,
such as telephone and telegraph lines
outside of cities, where the blackened
poles will not be Objectionable. Char
red cedar. it is expected, will have a
remarkably long life when. exposed to
the weather. The coast cedar is widely
known for it's lasting properties and
timber men predict that the burned
over trees will resist decay twice as
long as green timber.
There are large burned over areas
in this state that will become valuable
if the use of blackened piling is gem
orally adopted. and the method offers
practical conservation for much tim
ber throughout the Northwest that
has long been regarded as of no value.

Crowd Was Orderly.


'T don't want to look back over the
past few weeks. 1t is too painful to
think of. 1 can't forget now that we
came through in such fine shape. 1t
was a wonderful crowd in many ways.
No one ever saw a more orderly one.
There was practically no police pro-
lection. but in spite of this 20, men
came here, went through every sort
of discomfort in the way of travel,
loss of sleep and meals, sat in a. broil-
ing sun for two hours and yet there
was not the least sign of disorder:
THE only time there was anything
ike disorder was when the crowds at
the gates clamoring for tickets became
so large that it threatened to wreck
the boxoff1ce. Then I got up on the
ticket booth and handed down tickets
as fast as l could. Gleason knocked a
hole in the fence and took cash from
all comers for admission without tick
Ct He must have collected three or
four thousand in cash at this hole. 1
took in several thousand, accepting
whatever was handed me. A lot of the
fellows handed two and five dollar bills,
but l let it go at that and they saw
the fight mighty cheap
LAS to the fight itself, you all saw it
and can judge of Jeffries' chances as
well as 1 did. 1 saw after Jeffries got
that jolt that closed his eye, that john
son had it on him in every way. He
didn't have the steam. There was no
snap and his footwork was slow.
while Jeffries was not counted out,
Berger getting into the ring before the
count of 10 he could not, l believe have
got up again If he had he would have
been such a defenseless mark, l don't
think I would have allowed Johnson to
hit him. but would have given a de-
cision then and there"

rougher element of colored people in
the negro sections but no one was
seriously hurt. either in the riots or in
the hilarious celebrations of the negro
champions triumph.
The disturbances were not confined
to any particular part of the city or
public parks, fights breaking out near
ly everywhere that the two races in
termingled. The police were looking

when the trouble came. Clubs were
freely used in quelling the disturb

Street Cars Were stopped.
Pittsburg, July 5.-Less than half an
hour after the decision of the fight was
announced here three riot calls were
sent in to two police precincts in the
negro hill district. Street cars were
held up, and insulting epithets were
hurled at the passengers. The police
beat the crowds back with their clubs
to permit the passage of street cars.

oAHu's ANNUAL REPORT.

In his report, presented last week at
the annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the Oahu Sugar Company, Man
ager E. X. Bull of Waipabu plantation
says:
''In spite of serious labor troubles
and diminished rainfall during the
greater part of the year, the past sea-
son, like the previous, has been a very
prosperous one for the plantation.
"The weather during 1909 was ex-
ceedingly dry and not so favorable for
the growing of crops as it might have
been. The total rainfall for the year
was 10 inches of which fully four
inches fell during the latter part of
December For the eight months, April
to November, which constitute the
best growing period of the cane, the
total rainfall was only 2.18 inches,
or an average of 0.27 inches per
month. Our supply Of mountain water
was very small throughout the year,
SO that our pumps had to be kept run
ming almost continuously.
Crop of 1909.
The grinding season of the crop of
1909 commenced on December Is, 1908,
and was finished on October 5, 1909.
The crop was harvested from the fol-
lowing area:
"Plant cane, 9l4.70 acres; long
ratoons, 2s05. ~ acres; short ratoons,
$50. % acres; total, 1870. "a acres.
"The yield was S4,331 1926 tons,
which together with 3l9 ,215 tons of
sugar, manufactured from cane bought
from outside planters, brought the to-
tai output up TO 34,651 1876 tons of
sugar, exceeding the estimate given in
the report of 1908 by 1851 tons. Tho
quality of the cane juices was fully as
good as during the previous season, an
average of only 6.76 tons Of cane be
