Chance to Try it, at Least.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Secretary of
the Navy Meyer finished his testimony
before the House committee on naval
affairs today on the subject of the
Meyer reorganization plan. The COM
mittee is expected To spend q fortnight
or more before arriving at it's decision.
The idea advanced some days ago that
the committee should give the secre-
tary informal permission to try his
plan for one year is likely to prove the
final solution of the question.
Secretary Meyer is said 10 nave some
what discOmfitted supporters of Chief
Constructor Caps by producing a doc
ument from the department files Of
some years ago which showed Admiral
Capps at that time to have favored the
separate maintenance of the hull and
machinery divisions of the navy yards
Constructor Caps now opposes the
Meyer plan because it favors this prOpo-
sition.
The committee is said to stand Is to 5
in favor of the Meyer plan. Repre-
sentative HObsOn of Alabama. is
strongly opposed TO it and is expected
to fight it On the floor.

Administration Railroad Meas
ure ReintrOduced in the
House After Several Impor-
tant Changes Are Made.
ELECTRIC RAILWAYS
HAVE BEEN INCLUDED
Merger of Roads Is Not Direct
Iy Prohibited but the I8Su-
anCe of Stock and Bonds Is
Made More Difficult,
PENALTIES ARE PROVIDED

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE admin
istratiOn railroad bill, amending the
inters tate commerce act, originally
introduced in the House by Repre-
sentative Townsend Of Michigan. was
reintroduced by him today with a
number of important amendments
drawn by Attorney General Wicker
sham. These change the bill in the
matter Of the creation Of the court of
commerce, in the regulation of stocks
and bonds, and in the inclusion Of
electric railroads.
The amendment relating TO the com
merce court limits its power TO that OF
a federal circuit court. This amendment
was drafted to meet the objection made
to the original provision that the court
would have more extensive Jurisdiction
than the existing circuit courts Of the
United States. The stock and bond pro
vision Is amended 50 as 10 permit the
reorganization of railroads and the mer-
ger of railroads not directly prohibited
The act establishes the general principIs
that no stock shall be issued by railroads
except at par, and no bonds except at
ther reasonable market or calling value
ascertained By the interstate commerce
commission, and where either stock or
bonds are paid for fin property its fair
value must be asceTtaiued by the COM
mission.

DR.. Hyde was I'm attendance until De-
cember Is. when the nurse struck on sc-
count Of his presence, and he left.
Soon after the sensational answer MAX
ing the new revelations in the case was
filed today, Judge Walter Powell decided
that the reports of the scientists sought
by DR.. Hyde's attorneys should not be
made public until Mrs. Logan Swope was
willing for them to be released. They are
now in her hands
Warfare for the dispositions of Mrs. Lo-
gan Swope, Miss Lucy Lee Swope and
Miss Pearl Kellar will be renewed to-
morrow by DR.. Hyde's attorneys. If the
women refuse TO give their dispositions
upon being subpOenaeG, an officer will
serve attachments on them
The preliminary hearing of DR.. B. c.
hyde was continued for one week By
Justice LOar today.
A touch of local interest 10 the SWope
poisoning case at Kansas City Is found in
the fact that the Mormon church pur-
chased p acres of land of Colonel Swope
the man who was poisoned, at Jndepsnd-
ence. Mo. The purchase was mads In
April, 1904.
