Few people realize what a pictur-

Of the pine-clad mountains, and ride

for automobiles. Altogether 1t is a
trip that cannot be surpassed any

of sylvan solitude where Indians alone

Lawyers in Hyde Case Try

Kansas City, Nov. 21.-.Arguments

Swopc, occupied most of the time of
the afternoon session today and when
adjournment was taken. Senator Reed.
who Is assisting the prosecution. had
not finished the states opening state

Senator Reed was interrupted in his
statement when he said the prosccu-
ton intended to prove by new evidence
that DR.. Hyde had also poisoned
Christmas II. Swope. brother OF Mrs.
Hyde. and nephew of the aged colonel.
Frank P. Walsh. for the defense,
argued against the admission of such
testimony.
The state in attempting to show
that Christmas Swopc was poisoned.
is trying to establish that DIR. Hyde
had general scheme by which he
planned to wipe out the entire Swope
family and thus divert the great Swopc
fortune to his wife. as the only re-
naming heir.
The state contends that the intro
duction of testimony regarding Christ
man Swope is necessary in order to

evidence. Arguments on the admis-
taS .,<s1I v~S,
when the court day came to an end.
Judge Po:terfield has barred all tes-
timony on the subject of the typhoid
epidemic in the Swope household,
which the state alleged in the first
trial was caused by DIR. Hyde inoculat-
ing the victims with typhoid germs.
Testimony regarding the alleged
bleeding to death of Moss Hunter by
Or. Hyde also has been ordered not
able that all reference to the illness
of Margaret Swope. also attributed to
DR.. Hyde, will be ruled out.
Early IN the statement Of Senator
Reed arose the question of permitting
review of the death Of Moss Hun
ton. a cousin Of Colonel Swope who
died two days before the philanthro-
pist. DIR. Hyde stands charged in an
indictment with manslauGhter In con-
alleged the latter was bled to death
in order that he might not share in the
Swope estate.
The supreme court held that the
introduction OF testimony in the first
trial regarding Hunton's death was an
error. as 1t had no direct bearing on
the alleged murder of Colonel Swope.
Senator Reed explained today in his
statement that he wished to show that
DR.. Hyde had pronounced the Swope
and Hunton deaths due to the same
cause. apopiexy. but that their symp-
toms were widely different.
Senator Reed devoted much of the
first part of his statement to the pur-
chase of cyanide and digestive medi-
cine in capsules of the same size by
DIR. Hyde shortly before Colonel Swope
died.
I'VE will show" he said. that this
digestive medicine was bought as a
mask to the deadly cyanide"

Chicago. Nov. 21.--Neither Edward
Hines. the lumbernlan. nor Edward
Tilden. the packer. was the custodian
of the 100000 fund, or any other
fund which was to be used to "pay
off expenses for the election of I'll
liam Lorimer to tho United States
senate" according to the experts re-
ports submitted to the senatorial In
vesttgating committee. The evidence
for the defense came In response to
the previous testimony of Clarence
g. Funk. general manager Of the In.
ternatfonal Harvester company. Funk
had testified that after the election,
14orimer came to him and solicited
$4,000 contribution to be part of the
100000 fund. which. Funk testified.
1t was represented to him. was to pay
for putting Lorimer over"
Funk said Hines suggested the
money might be sent to Edward Til-
den, the custodian of the fund"
Hines and Tilden. both subsequently
denied any interest in the alleged
fund. Later Alfred A. Richie was
appointed an expert to examine the
accounts and bank books of Tilden
and Hines and the Hines Lumber
company. Richie made his report
today. 1t confirms the testimony of
D. w. Holstlaw. former state senator
who confessed to having received
$4,000 for his vote for Lorimer.

Martin. a witness before the commit
tee, asked if he knew of ANY justifi-
cation for the head of department
Of the government to take the position
that he will not enforce the criminal

There appears to be little effort in
the department of Justice to enforce
the criminal provisions Of the law"
said Senator Pomerene. DO you
know of any statute or other authority
which justities an attorney general in
taking the position that he may en-.
but decline to enforce it's criminal pro-
visions. l regard the course of the
department in Its failure to enforce
these provisions as most reprehensi-
ble."
Replies to Attack.
Senator Oliver was the only member
Of the committee who replied to the
attack on the attorney general. Also
addressing the witness he wanted to
know what the latter thought of the
Comparative reprehensibility" of an
attorney general "who actively and
successfully enforced law like this.

cessful civil prosecutions. as compared
with one of his predecessors who did
not, and who practically declared the
law II dead letter"
II refer to former Attorney General
Judson Harmon Of Ohio" said Sena-
tor Oliver. looking across the table to
Senator Pomerenc.
The committee showed signs of an
incipient outbreak. Senator POmerene
declared 1t was not Mr.. Harmon, but
his predecessor. Richard Olney, who
had said, in substance, that the law
was dead letter. Mr. Harmon, he
said. took up and pushed to decision
