his truck farm to the Chicago market
with a load of produce. Two of the
men had revolvers, two had butcher
knives and the other two clubs.
The evluence showed he pleaded
for his life on his knees, offering the
men all his possessions, because he
had a wife and a baby a month old at
home. The answer of the youths was
to beat him into Inconsistencies with
the clubs, so that his skull was frac-
tured, his jaw broken and his nose
dubbed nearly off. .

HYDE DEFENSE WINS BOUT
TESTIMONY REGARDING MISS
SWoPE's ILLNESS EXCLUDED.
Attempt to Prove Hyde Had Poisoned
Her by Injecting Typhoid
Germs Fail.

Kansas City, Mo.-All testimony re-
garding the illness of Miss Margaret
Swope has been barred from the
trial of DR.. B. Clark Hyde, accused of
killing Col. Thomas H. Swope, by
Judge Porterfield.
In the former trial of the case on
attempt was made to prove DR.. Hyde
had poisoned Miss Swope with
%strychnine and injected typhoid germs
into her arms.
Mrs. Baumann, formerly one of the
nurses in the Swope household, testi-
fed that Chrisman Swope had eaten
no food during the few hours proceed
ing his death which might have
caused a response to the cyanide test.
Hyde's attorneys will attempt to
show that the cyanide reaction might
have been caused by fruit seeds swal-
lowed with food.
Attorney Jost for the state spent
practically the entire morning in a
continuation of the examination of
Mrs. Baumann. A short time before
adjournment he had completed the in
~terrogations relating to the illness of
Chrisman Swope and announced to
the court that he desired to next take
up the illness of Margaret Swope.

TAFT's VIEWS Of
administration
PRESIDENT REVIEWS WHAT he
HAS ACCOMPLISHED AND
WHAT HE PROPOSES.
SECOND TERM UP TOvOTER
Would Appreciate denomination, but
would Not Sacrifice Duty to
Bring About Such Result"
Quoted in Outlook.

New York.-A long authorized in
terview with President Taft by Fran
els E. I.eupp, former Indian commits
sioner, will appear in the Outlook for
December
Ii it ML. Taft reviews his term and
declares that while he would appreci-
ate a denomination, he would not sac
rifice his freedom to do his duty to
bring about such a result. He gives
inside information of negotiations for
certain legislation and devotes much
space to his efforts to bring about tar
lift reduction.
Insurgents Altered His Bill.
The insurgents, Mr.. Taft recounts,
had altered his railroad bill seriously
and would have nothing to do with
the thirty-day rate agreement permit,
which Mr.. Roosevelt had frequently
recommended. The president accept
ed a half loaf as better than no bread.
The postal savings bill got past the
senate insurgents by a close shave,
and the conservation bill was enacted.
The president gives a history of the
corporation tax, of which, he says,
he is proud. He dwells upon the i'm
portant measures before congress,
and in conclusion, explains how it
came about that troops were sent to
the Mexican border during the recent
rebellion.
Message on Second Term Proposition.
In concluding his interview, Presi-
dent Taft says:
81 am very grateful for the honors
the people have given me. do not
affect to deny the satisfaction | should
feel, if, after casting up the totals,
pro and con, and striking a balance,
they should decide that my first term
had been fruitful enough of good to
warrant their enlisting me for anoth.
er. Any mar would be proud of such
q verdict.
"But | have not been willing, nor
shall | be, to purchase it at the sac
rifice of my freedom to do my duty as
| see it.
my happiness is not dependent or
holding any office; and | shall go
back to private life with no heart
burnings if the people, after an un.
%prejudiced review of my administra.
ton, conclude that some one else can
serve them to their greater advan-
tage."

The above statement summarizes
the official attitude of Samuel Com

and pleas of guilty of John ]. and
James B. Mcnamara in Los Angeles.
1t is taken from IN emphatic state

has hired six former Scotland Yard de-

COOK SUES FOR 100000
Against New York Times in T
Copenhagen "Riot" Story. 1

New York City, - DR.. Frederick
A. Cook has entered suit against the
New York Times, charging libel by
publishing false and defamatory state
ments.
He asks 100000 damages.
Causes of action are based on the
publication, October 20, 1911, of a
story with the heading Riot by Danes
Ends Dr.. Cooks Lecture. Showered
by Bad Eggs" and the heading Cook
Tried to Steal Parsons Life-work," in
which it is charged that DR.. Cook,
when a member of the Belgian expe-
dition of 1S97-98, stopped at Terra del
Fuego and obtained from Rev. Thorn
as Bridges, a missionary, a Yahgan
grammar and dictionary, which he
published under his own name.

the case was over that President
Gompers and his aids would repudiate
such men as the McNamaras.
The sensational scene follows the
arrest of three men last week on the
charge of attempting to bride Pros.

figure in this angle OF the case was
Bert H. Franklin. former deputy

Here was an opportunity to 81

large sum for the county. Although
the court could sentence Mcnamara
to be hanged, it seems to me that the
least we can do for him is to spare
his life"
Horton said McManigal, the inform.
er, would have to take his medicine.
James B. Tells Why He Confessed.
After he had pleaded guilty James
B. Mcnamara made this statement:
"They could never have got me on
the evidence they had, but was
afraid for John. Besides, | could not
sleep. l was not afraid and l shall
remain unafraid for myself, but

and Davis and Scott all felt pretty
bad about this. They r all in it,
too, too deep, but / have turned the
trick, for l have pleaded guilty.
please say to the papers that |
am guilty, but l did what l did for
principle, and that I did not intend to
murder a man. We put that bomb in
Ink Alley just as the papers have
said, and we set it to go off after all
the men in the building had gone
home in the early morning, but the
clock went back on us, and you know
what followed.
Think of what all this e to
us, who have been fighting, fighting
always for a right to live. When
set that bomb l meant only to throw
a scare into those fellows who own
the Times. The paper had been fight
ing us for years. The situation
throughout the country was critical,
and SO we decided that something
must be done. l was horribly shocked
