HEARST MAY SEEK JOB AS
 U. s. SENATOR
Especial from United Press. )

New York, May 19-Politicians, to- day. were declaring that William R. Hearst has taken the first trick in connection with his newly planned fight for control of the Tammany or ganizatiOn and the upstate Democrat ic machine. Hearst, they say, wants to go to the United States Senate as the successor of Elihu Root. Murphy, of Tammany, is the one obstacle in his way and before he starts the fight to dethrone Murphy, Hearst wants to line up the Bronx leaders of the Republicans and the upstate or ganization.
 In order to beat Murphy, Hearst plans to rid the tiger chief of his wis est adviser and has done so by shelv- ing Daniel F. Cohalan on the supreme bench. By bitter attacks on Cohalan in his newspapers. Hearst placed the brains of Tammany'' in the attitude of needing vindicatiOn. That vindica- tion took the form of an appointment, to the supreme court bench to succeed Senator O'Gorham. Inasmuch as Coh- alan wants to be nominated for the full term of IA years. next fall, he will have to make a good record as 2 judge and to do so will have little time to advise Murphy or to play pol, itics.
 With Cohalan out of the way, Hearst hopes to dominate the State Demo. cratic situation, capture Tammany Hall and make himself a dominant factor in the next national campaign Then he will be in a position to make the fight to succeed Root
 Hearts talk to the Legislature or Wednesday night, and a bitter attacl on the Republican members of tht Legislature with which he leads hi! paper, today, are said by Tammany men to absolutely prove their belle. that he wants to try again to be 2 factor in State politics. They say he will be fought to the bitter end a. they recalled, today, that he ran in. dependently, last fall, for lieutenant governor while supporting in his news papers and his news service, the Re publican candidates over those of tht regular Democratic organization.

TARIFF RATE AND SYSTEM cRITI-
CISED.

A reduction of the duties on many
classes of wool and wool manufactures
was recommended by President Taft in a
special message to Congress Wednesday
transmitting the long-awaited report OF
the tariff board on schedule X of the
Payne tariff act. The board makes no
recommendations, but points out what
changes aresdesirable. The report points
the way to two great changes in the
present system of levying duties upon
raw wool and finished cloth. 1t would
assess duty on secured wool-not wool
and grease combined-and suggests a
graduated scale of ad valorem rate on
cloth. The report is divided into Sec
tions-viz., raw wool, yarn and cloth.
They are taken up in the order in which
they come in production and manufac-
ture. In nearly all classes of the sched-
ule the boards experts report the ma
jority of the rates of duty prohibitory
and condemn the systems of levying
them.

RUSSIAN TREATY ABRooATED.

The United States has abrogated it's
treaty with Russia, which had been in
force since 1882. The House OF Repre-
sentatives last week adopted a resolu-
tion introduced by Mr.. Sulzer of New
York calling for the termination of the
treaty. This resolution was couched in
such terms that it was Objectionable to
Russia. President Taft then took the
initiative and notified Russia of the pur-
pose of this country to terminate the
treaty. The formal denunciation was
communicated to the Russian government
by the American ambassador to ST.
Petersburg. The reason given by the
President for the termination of the
treaty is that 1t is mo longer fully re-
sponsive in various respects to the needs
of the material and political relations of
the two countries, which constantly grow
more important" in other words, that It
is obsolete.
The President sent to the Senate a
message, stating the facts and asking
for the ratification and approval of his
action. The Senate committee on for
eign affairs thereupon prepared a joint
resolution, which was adopted by both
branches of Congress, and yesterday the
President signed the resolution. The
treaty automatically will continue in ef-
feet until Jan. l, 1918, and in the mean
time efforts will be made to negotiate a
new treaty, eliminating the causes of
friction which led to the termination Of
the old one. The treaty was abrogated
because of the discrimination against
American Jews on account of their reli-
gion.

Kansas City. No. October l5.-The ia
nous swope poisoning case will again
engage public attention. when DIR. &.
c. Hyde is placed on trial here to-mor-
row for the second time on the charge
of numbering his father-in-law, Col
oncl Thomas II. Swope. the aged mil
iionaire philanthropist, and ether rela-
tives. In order that he might inherit
the Swope fortune.
Dr.. Hyde's first trial. which took
place in the spring of 1910 resulted in
his conviction and his sentence TO life
Imprisonment. The case was appealed
10 the State Supreme Court, and the
decision was reversed April IL, 1911,
and new trial ordered. In handing
down Its decision the Supreme Court
ruled out number OF vital points In
the States case. including the poison
plot testified TO by members of the
Swope family, and as a result the at
torneys for the defense feel confident
OF verdict OF acquittal for their cls-
emit.
Few criminal cases in the Southwes t
have furnished such sensations as the
Hyde case, and none has developed such
strange and uncanny evidence. Coupled
with these features were the promi-
nence and wealth of the family and the
strange methods adopted by the al
legged murderer for disposing OF his
victims.
