The Swope Millions Are Being Used
Both by the Prosecution and the

UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRp.l

Kansas City, Oct. 23.-In addition
to the death of Col. Swope, Hyde is
charged with having introduced ty-
phoid germs into the food Of the
Swope family and with being respon-
sible for the death of a number of
inheritors of the Swope millions. The
motive given is that Dr. Hyde hav-
ing married the favorite niece of Col
onel Swope, wanted to get rid of the
other members of the family so that
he could inherit a greater portion of
the wealth of his uncle.
Immense crowds gathered here to-
day to witness the opening of the
second trial. Judge PorteTfeld is
sued an order that none be admitted
to the court room unless able to show
a ticket emitting them to a seat, and
in this way restricted the aud 'ence
to those directly interested in the
case.
The examination Of 1000 venire-
men, selected from a list of 10000
names, was begun this morning.
Virgil Conkling, county prosecutor,
says he does rot expect to cowplete
the selection of the jury until the
the end of the week.
DR.. Hyde and his wife, who stout
ly maintained his innocence and re-
mained faithfully at his side since
his arrest in the spring Of 1910, were
both present at today's opening ses-
sion.
The Swope millions are beng used
both to prosecute and to defend
Hyde, the executors and heirs Of the
Swope estate supplying money to aid
the prosecution, while Mrs. Hyde
mortgaged her inheritance to fight
for the liberty Of her husband.

AGAINTSI IT
AN OLD TINE RESIDENT PRE-
SENTS HIS VIEWS ON THE PRO-
POSED CITY CHARTER AND
COMMISSION FORM OF GOVERN.
MENT.
Salem. ore. Oct. 23, 1911.

salem, Ore', OcJ' 70, l5ll.
Ed. Capital Journal:-I most re-
spectfully solicit space in your val
liable paper to express few
thoughts in regard to the proposed
new commission charter soon to be
submitted to the people at special
election. To my mind, this is the
most important matter ever brought
before the residents of this city since
its organization On the results Of
this election depend the welfare Of
the city many years to come. 1t Is
admitted that the city is forging
ahead in substantial improvements as
never before in its history. Then,
say, why not let well enough alone?
Why seek to change this condition? ?
Why take this leap in the dark, not
knowing where we will land? To my
mind the interests of this city are
safer in the hands of Is good men,
than they would be in the hands of
three, and if they were bad, surely
three would be easier to bribe or in
! nuence than would 10. To my mind
the present city officials are as able
and as honest as any who have pre-
ceded them and as they have served
the city without pay they are surely
entitled to our gratitude for what
! they have done. | do not say but
there may have been some injustice
done to certain parties in the matter
of street and sewor assessments, but
| this could all be remedied by appoint
ing a committee by the city council
to investigate any individual cases of
overcharge, and recommend a rea-
sonable rebate. / think that in most
cases, the benefits to the abutting
property will be found to be as much
or more than the assessments on the
same. But to return to the charter
again. Who are those parties that
are boosting so yoclierously for the
commission charter? | do not know
who Of them wants to be mayor, or
commissioner, but would think 1t Is
the large salary that attracts them,
who never have had the opportunity
to earn as much as 5000 honest
! money in any one year Of their lives
| The salaries offered are too large;
/ the term of Office is too long: the
power granted to the mayor and
commissioners Is too great, and the
opportunity for graft Is too apparent
For these reasons and many more
which / could give vote 1t down
! Sit down on It hard. Thus will you
. be doing the greatest service to your
city. Respectfully yours,
II. S. JORY.

He RECEIVED
A HEAVY JOLT

]. Smith, of Amity, was electrocut-
ed yesterday when working on the
boom used in lowering the drain tiles
in the sewer on South Commercial
street. For awhile it was feared that
he would die but DR.. Mott after an
examination, declared the injury not
to be fatal and he is resting easy at
the Willamette Sanatorium today.
Smith was standing on the track of
the Portland Railway light and car
company's street car line at the time.
He took hold of one of the hooks fas-
tened to the boom and used in low

MAY SELL OLD FARM
AND BUY ANOTHER

The board Of county commission
ers this afternoon are considering the
proposition of w. ]. Walton, repre-
sentlng a syndicate in the city, with
reference to the sale of a 200-acre
tract Of land near Chemeketa for a
county poor farm.
The syndicate asks $120 an acre,
and the plan of the board is, in the
event of It's purchase, to erect upon
1t buildings that will answer all the
demands to be made on the county
in the way of a county poor farm for
years to come. Should the sale be
consummated, us now seems prob
able, the board will sell the present
farm OF 3S acres. It has already been
offered a price for this land rang
ing between $275 and $500 an acre,
but believes that a larger price can
be realized by cutting the farm up
into fruit tracts.

H. Sanders who. with other state off,
Gals, has examined eXhaustively con-
ditions here, declares there is no yell
low fever in this city. This statement
was issued as a result of persistent

day there were only few new cases of
typhoid, and. it appears that the situa-
ton is we'll under control. DR.. Sanders
in his statement says:
Owing to rumors to the effect that
yellow fever is prevailing in Mobile,
and having gained considerable cir
culation, / have no hesitancy in pro-
nouncing such rumors as absolutely
groundless. Any attempt to conceal
the presence of that disease would be
futile, and would not be attempted by
the medical fraternity.
Therefore neither the profession of
Mobile nor myself would be willing to
place ourselves in such a position.
Since June l there have been about $50
cases of typhoid fever, with a NOR
tality rate of II. These are the plain
facts"

Washington, July 26.-Following an
attack by Senator Porah of Idaho upon
the enforcement of the Sherman anti
trust law in the twenty years it has
existed. the senate today adopted the
resolution offered by Clapp of Mime
sofa calling for an investigation into
the operation of the law TO determine
what changes or amendments are
necessary to make it adequate for pro
lection against unlawful monopolies
and trusts.
Borah's attack was inspired by Pom
creme, who called up his resolution de
manding the criminal prosecution of
the Standard Oil and American To-
bacco companies under the recent de-
cision of the supreme court
Clapp's resolution gives authority to
the senate interstate commerce COM
mittee to conduct searching inquiry
into the operation of the law and make
recommendations to the senate for any
changes thought to be necessary re
lating to the creation and control of
corporations engaged in interstate
commerce..
Senator Pomerene of Ohio, in calling
ur before the senate today his resolu-
ton instructing the attorney general
to prosecute criminally the officers of
the Standard Oil and American To-
bacco companies for alleged persistent
violation of the antitrust laws, said
"the American people cannot under
stand why there should be no criminal
prosecution against these defendants
when the government is so vigorous in
its prosecution of minor offenders"
