Hundreds cheered in front OF the

for visit to the government stock

thousands were massed about the
station when he returned at night.
They greeted him with Hungarian
cries equivalent TO the American
"Hurrah for Roosevelt" which the
ex-president seemed to understand
and thoroughly appreciate.
The packed streets echoed the
cries as he passed, and this demon
stration was thrice repeated later
during the evening-in front of the
hotel as he departed for the pre-
mier's dinner and on his return, and
when he left the hotel for the sta

Senator Eugene Hale of Maine in his

the unsettled condition of politics in

To Show "A Motive.


The particular point upon which the
defense objected was the details of
James Moss Hunton's death. The
court held the state was attempting
to prove motive on the part of Hyde
in the alleged killing of Hunton.
Miss Keller then told of Hunton
suffering from apoplexy when DR..
Hyde was called. He and DR.. Twyman
bled the patient Hyde made an in
cision in Hunton's arm and after a
pint of blood was drawn Twyman sug-
gested there had been enough bleed
ing. Hyde dissented and more blood
was drawn
Mrs. Hyde Objects.
A second and third time Twyman
objected bleeding, but Hyde only
stopped upon the suggestion of Mrs
Hyde Witness said she took charge
of the blood and upon measuring it
found there was two quarts.
A few minutes after Hunton's death
Miss Keller said Hyde importuned her
to use her influence in having him
made administrator of Colonel Swope's
estate to succeed Hunton. She re-
fused.
Nurse Witness Against Hyde.
Kansas City, April 20. L Colonel
Swope will never return to Kansas
City, This prophecy, testified Miss
Pearl Keller, nurse, in the Hyde
murder trial yesterday, was made to
her by Dr. B. c. Hyde in independence
a few days before Colonel Swope died
The witness was Colonel Swope's
nurse.
DR.. Hyde's remark, said Miss Kel-
Ter, followed her informing the physi-
clan that Colonel Swope planned to
come here to his office in few days.
Her patient was at that time, testified
the nurse, in better physical condition
than he had been for weeks.
This was the only important bit of
testimony Miss Keller had given in
the trial yesterday AFTERNOON. when
a legal debate arose as to whether tes-
timony regarding other deaths and i'll
ness in the Swope family than that of
Colonel Swope should be admitted.

Has Been Recently Ill.
Hale recently has experienced at
tacks of illness which have called out
the warnings of his physicians. Hale's
record of five full terms without any
opposition to his election is unap-
preached except in the case of his col
league, Senator Frye. Frye has had
as many unopposed elections.
AS is the case with Aldrich. Hale
is a member of the monetary commits
sion and will continue his services in
that connection.
AIdrich Calls On Taft.
Senator Aldrich calleo at the White
house yesterday and personally ac-
quainted Taft with bis determination
to retire from politics at the end of
his term March next. The greeting
between the president and the senator
was a hearty one, but it is said that
there was an attempt on Taft's part to

feel over the retirement of the sena-
tor
Taft is q staunch believer in Aid

To the competition between concerns

quently bid against the buyers direct
ly employed by these interests, and
thus forced up the price Of meat. The
benefit Of this policy. which raises the
cost price Of raw material for the meat

The competition between the differ
