HYDE
TRIAL BEGINS
PROMISES TO BE ONE OF THE
MOST REMARKABLE IN HIS
TORY OF COUNTRY-TEN IN.
DICTMENTS AGAINST HYDE.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 12.-The
trial of DR.. B. C. Hyde. one of the
leading physicians of this city, char
ged with having murdered Col.
Thomas H. Swope, a millionaire phi
lanthrcpist, by administering strych-
nine to him under guise of medicine
began here today.
The trial is expected to prove
one of the most sensational in the
history of the country.
A heavy guard was present in the
court room when the hearing began.
All principals in the case were in
attendance and their presence drew
a great crowd to the building.
The reports of the Chicago scien-
lists who examined the body and
liver of Colonel Swope as we'll as
parts of the body of Chrisman
Swope, his nephew, from which
tests were made in which the tubes
of typhoid cultures taken from DR.
Hyde's office and the nurses charts
kept during the illness in the Swope
family, will be introduced in the
course of the trial.
None of the attorneys expect a
jury to be obtained in less than a
week. Two hundred veniremen have
been ordered to report tomorrow.
By the law of Missouri, body of
forty-seven veniremen who cannot
be challenged for cause must first
be selected. The state then may
exercise fifteen peremptory chal-
lenges and the defense twenty,
leaving the twelve men to act as
jurors.

cided on Permanent Committee for River Inn
provement-Excursion to Canadian
Line-Added Train Service

The third of the commercial club
MONDAY luncheons lost none Of the
popularity of the preceding ones and
the tables were we'll filled. The
meeting today took initiatory steps
along the lines of increased Column
bia River improvement, appointed a
committee on open rivers and took
steps for the planning of an excur-
sion from Wenatchee to the Can
adam boundary.
Kettle Falls Communication.
The action of the club was brought
on by the reading of a letter from
the Kettle Falls Chamber of Com
merce in which that organization
discussed the work being done by
Captain McDermott of the state COM
mission, and in which it was sug-
gested that the local organization
take any steps that should be seen
fit. The committee on open rivers
which was appointed by President
King was Messrs. McNerney, Thorn
ason, Prowell, A. z. Wells and C.
c. Ward.
Mayor Geilatly called attention to
the fact that one engine recently
pulled 165 cars into Portland from
the northwest. Another engine
pulled 140 cars on the river route
from the south and another 100 cars
from the Walla Walla country. He
showed in this way the Importance
of a downhill pull with a large
grade and touched upon the import
ance of river improvement for the
purpose of establishing terminal
rates.
Invited the Eagles.
The commercial club authorized
its secretary to communicate with
the Offices of the grand lodge of
Eagles, inviting them to hold their
next state meeting in this city.

STATE EDITORS To HOLD
ANNUAL SESSION HERE
ESQ Members of State Press Association
Will Meet Here June Is, II and 49,
Walla Walla and Anacortes Rivals
--Wenatchee Selected as Compromise

President Hazeltine of the Wash
ington State Press association an
nounces that the executive committee
of the association has selected We
natchee as the place for the coming
annual meeting of the association,
which will probably be held June 16,
II and IS. Walla Walla and Ana
cortes were the other candidates for
the convention, but Wenatchee was
selected because it was in portion
Of the state which has not been Wis
tied by the association.
During the session last fall the
newspaper men of this city with the
concurrence of the city officials and
commercial club sent an invitation to
the state organization to hold the
next session at this place. There
were other candidates for the honor,
however, and the executive board has
been deadlocked until recently. We
natchee was taken as a compromise
location. The time of holding this
convention is not entirely satisfac-
tory to the board of directors of the
commercial club and an effort Is be-
ing made to have the session late this
fall rather than in the summer. The
fall is considered more of show
time and Wenatchee would get more
effective advertising out of the state
meeting in September than in June.
There are some $50 members of

ton and it is expected that a greater
portion of these will be present at
the coming meeting. The last meet
ing was held in Seattle ana the one
prior to that in Vancouver, and the
form of entertainment in the past has
been very elaborate. The board of
directors of the commercial club were
considering this matter last week
when it was known that there was
possibility of securing the next
meeting here. Tentative plans were
made for an excursion up the Column
bia river, to Wenatchee lake, and
other forms of entertainment
When the invitation was extended
last fall it was felt that the Wenat-
chez valley in itself would be mar
vel to most Of the newspaper men in
viewing the ladened orchards, but the
newspaper fraternity do not want to
defer the state meeting until late in
the fall on account of most of them
being engaged in trying to pilot
Alright the political battle which will
be on at that time. Even should the
meeting be held in June it is thought
that there will be ample hotel &C
commodations at that time. The
new Wenatchee hotel should be COM
pleted by thta date and the Elman
will also be in operation. besides the
hotels already in operation.

The Benevolent Trust in France.

The high cost of living" being a burning question in France as well as in the United States, Great Britain, and all other parts of the civilized houses of France have embarked upon an undertaking which they assure the French will make the cost of living much cheaper. Their ostensible ob- ject is to eliminate the middleman" in trade Instead of selling groceries, dry goods, and other staples to retail dealers, the French wholesalers pro- pose to establish branch stores of their own, under their own control and management. The innovation, so far as tried, is said to be pleasing to the French people. The cost of gro- ceries, especially. has been materially reduced.
 The French people should not con- gratulate themselves too soon, how ever. There is nothing novel in the scheme; the American people are quite familiar with it. The argument that direct dealing between consum- CTS and great wholesale houses will lead to cheaper prices sounds plaus- ible. The trouble is, that the primi- tive element of human greed always shows up as soon as the middleman has been eliminated, and the consum- CT has to pay all that the traffic will bear" The meat trust is a brilliant example. When the great packing house combination developed the re- frigerator car business to such per- lection that - fresh meats could be trahsported hundreds of miles and retaiIed to consumers in so-called butcher shops, the business of local but the public was assured that the innovation would mean cheaper prices for meats. It was soon found, how ever, that the meat trust controlled the retail market in it's own interest and not in the interest of consumers at all The retail dealers, improperly called butchers" were permitted to charge prices which would yield them a modest profit, and all the rest went to the meat trust-and still does.
 In short, the people of France will soon find that in flying to the arms of trusts. to escape high prices they have jumped from the frying pan into the fire

POLITICAL PASSION OF 1s44.

There were clements of pictur- esuueness and drama in the politics of the before the-war time which are lacking nowadays. Marion liar land tells in her newly published au- tobiography of a Whig rally which makes the political meetings of to- day seem tame, cut dried af- fairs. It was in 1914, the year of Clays defeat, and feeling ran high. At that particular time John Tyler was perhaps the most unpopular man in the union. In the progress of his review of national affairs the orator at dast came to the hated name. Instantly uprose the majestic figure Of Captain Cooke the local eccentric. clad in the scarlet Eng fish hunting coat he invariably wore. "The Lord have mercy Supon the na- tion," he cried, his voice solemn with wrath and sonorous with the mint tuleps

Accounting for the Decrease.

Some odd conclusions are drawn here and there from the census re- turns The New Orleans Picayune, which can see nothing good in pro- hibition, is of the opinion that the loss of population in certain counties of Missouri is due to prohibition, which is enforced in these counties by local option. It seems that some thirty counties show a loss. as com pared with the census returns of ten years ago, and the Louisiana paper says that the dry belt" and the de creased population" belt cover the same area on the map of Missouri
 Whether the Picayune's statement of fact in this regard will bear analy- sis, we do not know, as we have not taken the trouble to ascertain. But it does not necessarily follow that it's conclusion is sound-other reasons than prohibition may account for the decrease.
 Kansas also shows a decrease of population in more than dozen ceunties-although the state as whole has gained a quarter of a mill lion people since the census of 19OO- but there has been no claim that the liquor question has any relation to the fact. Kansas has state wide pro- hibition. both constitutional and statu- tory, and the counties which have gained in population and the counties which have lost are under the same laws.
 The Kansas City Star attempts to explain the loss in the Kansas coun- ties mentioned by pointing out the increased land values in these coun- ties. It says that the counties which. show the largest losses in population are the richest and most populous counties-the counties which have the best soil and the most valuable farms It claims that farms during the past few years have sold at such high prices that they were, and are, out of the reach of men of limited means.

FRENCH STRIKERS
 TIE UP RAILROADS
Government Again Facing Very
 Serious Situation.

Paris. Oct 1.-The French gov ernment is again facing a serious strike situation. The employees of the Northern railway struck this morn ing, and tonight the strike has spread to the Western railway, owned .'by the state. The indications are .that to- morrow will see a complete tie-up in northern and western France.
 The strike involves about SO,OOO men. The strike on the Western road was voted this evening by 5000 men employed in Paris and its suburbs, and the movement may possibly ex tend to the Eastern & Paris and the Lyons & Mediterranean railroads. Paris is threatened with a scarcity of food. Military engineers are taking the places of the strikers, and troops are guarding the various stations and important sections of the road.
 The government has decided upon an important step in an attempt to break the strike on the Northern rail- road. The official journal publishes a decree calling to the cOlOrs about 5000 employees of the Northern rail- road. This immediately subjects the men to military discipline. under which they may be ordered to operate the trains.
 The tie-up on the Western road af- fects the American mail and passen- gers due by train at Cherbourg to- morrow for the steamships Kronz Prince William and Teutonic.
 Aviators Audemars, Barrier and Cares, scheduled to take part in the aviation meet at Belmont Park, are booked to sail on the Teutonic, and will proceed to Cherbourg by auto mobile

Mr. Hearst In a Good Cause.

Having been a presidential candi- date, a candidate for governor. and a candidate for mayor. MT William Randolph Hearst is now a candidate for lieutenant governor of New York It is within the bounds of possibility that MT Hearst will yet be running for squire"
 To do the young man justice, how ever, it must be said that he cabled to his friends from Europe, some weeks ago, that in order to prove that he is not a reformer for the sake of office, he would take a nomination this year for minor place on the independence league ticket There ex- ists no doubt as to MT. Hearsts pur- pose in reviving the independence league in this years New York cam paign-he proposes to defeat the dem- ocratic ticket by drawing strength from the democratic ranks
 It happens that all the argument is on MT. Hearsts side of the question. The New York convention was abso- lutely dominated by Charles Murphy, the boss of Tammany Hall; and as all observers of New York politics know. Boss Murphy is dominated by the special interests" which find it to their profit to mix in politics. MT. Hearst is therefore engaged in a laudable enterprise in his effort to elect the ticket which was nominated at Colonel Roosevelt's convention
