DR.. HYDE RELEASED ON
BOND FROM COUNTY JAIL
BY Associated Press.

Kansas City, Mo-. April 26. - DR..
Hyde, under life sentence for the muir
der of Thomas A. Swope, was released
from the Jail today on writ of habeas
corpus, granted by seven judges Of
the circuit court here. In the opinion
of the court the majority of the evil
denee upon which the physician was
convicted, was circumstantial and
there was reasonable doubt of the pris-
oner's guilt. The opinion also takes
into consideration the fact that Judge
Latshaw the trial judge, once admitted
Hyde to bond. This bond was revok-
ed during the trial of the murder case
by Latshaw and Hyde was committed
to the county Jail. The circuit court
in the opinion, held that had the trial
judge acted more deliberately, he prob
ably would not have revoked the bond
Of the accused. After reading the de
cision, bail was set at fifty thousand
dollars.

SADLY DEFICIENT

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Aug 2e.-The United
States army in case Of war would be Sc
riously hampered because Of an made
quate number Of men In the hospital
corps, according to Major General Fred
erick D, Grant. In this branch of the
service no progress has been made, he
says, since the outbreak OF the Spanish
war.
If an attempt were made to mobilize
more than one division of troops. the
army would be crippled, In General
Grants Judgment, as a result of the in
sufflciency of the sanitary personnel.
In his annual report to the war depart
ment for the fiscal year just ended as
commander of tile department OF the
east, General Grant says that II all the
troops In his command had been ordered
out In connection with the mobilization
in the south during the Mexican revolu-
tlon, or X the 1rst field army had been
modified. the deficiency in the medical
department would have caused break

There being no hosting cables, the ne

Another advantage Is that the new lift

Judging by opinions expressed by the
practical engineers and mechanics who
saw last weeks exhaustive demonstra-

destined soon to take a high plane among
the mechanical inventions OF these pro-
gressiye times.
Already the inventor has received ap-
plicntion from manufacturers in Denver
and Los Angeles for permission to build
the lift under his patents: but the Idea
OF Mr.. Newson is to establish in Salt
Lake big manufacturing concern that
will supply a regular payroll to Salt Lake
workingmen. and to make OF this city a
center from which to furnish machines
for the entire western country. He Is
now in possession of letters patent from
the United States, Canada and Great
Britain. and is applying for patents in all
other civilized foreign countries.

provision Of this sort in the new will
which gives the son $1,0O0,000 outright,
with S2,000.000 In trust, and the widow
the remainder Of the estate with the
exception of about 100000, which ls
divided among relatives and friends.

A passenger and freight elevator with
out lifting cables is the latest demonstrate
ed device of Utah production. During the
past week an extended series OF tests
have been applied to tho machine in this
city. and the results have been such as
TO bring unqualified approval from expert
niechanicians and practical engineers OF
acknowledged skill.
Heretofore news. Of the progress being

been published and now that the final
demonstrations have been had. the claims
made by the inventor apear to have been
Yindicnted In completeness. Accompany
ing this brief description OF the machine

materially assist In an understanding OF

That which strikes the elevator pas
senger or operator as the chief merit in
the machine is It's absolute safety. there
being no possibility, Of the car dropping
to the bottom OF the elevator shaft, or
any distance whatever, so long as the
building in which 1t Is located stands. In
desideratum is rendered the moro yalu-
able by reason of the mechanical simple
ity exemplifed. the low cost Of installa-
ton and the economy in operation.
1t may seem TO be a bit strange. but
1t is nevertheless true, that the car is
raised and lowered through the entire
length of the shaft without suspending
cables. AS the photograph shows. the
device climbs and descends by means of
four short spiral gears interlocked with
four spiral racks extended UP the whole
length OF the shaft, the racks serving also
as guides for the car and the lifting ma
chine. These rotating spiral gears and
racks being once engaged by means Of
their interlocliing construction. 1t is Inn
possible for them to become separated
and in this feature hes the element OF
complete safety. The spiral gears are
revolved by an electric motor. as seen
