NO POLITICS IN
BANKING REFORM
Southern Bank Leader Wants Business
Men TO Join in Non-Partisan
Demand For Legislation.

New Orleans, La, Nov. 21.-F O..
Watts, of Nashville, Tenn, president
of the American Bankers Association,
urged upon the bankers convention
here today the necessity of keeping
banking and currency reform legisla-
ton out of politics
IF the bankers and business men"
he said, who must be the leaders in
the reform movement, succeed in keep
ing the question non-partisan, and in
convincing the public beyond reason
able doubt of the integrity of the con-
troll, then its enactment into law will
be an easy accomplishment"
To keep the control of the National
Reserve Association out of speculative
Wall street, and out of the hands of
politicians, said Mr.. Watts, were two
most important considerations in the
drafting of banking reform legislation.
Mr.. Watts said he wasn't scared by
the Wall street bugaboo. He said:
Undoubtedly those interests which
according to passing speech and hur
ried composition are designated as
Wall street favor the National Reserve
Association or any plan of monetary
reform making for stability and pros.

only pennies out of special privilege
"Those interests would subscribe to

STATE PROPOSES
TO SHOW MOTIVE
Prosecution Thus Would Avoid Block
That Caused Reversal of For
mer Finding.

Kansas City Mo-, Nov. q. = Argu-
ments defining the boundaries Of the
testimony to be permitted at the sec
ond trial of Dr. B. Clark Hyde for the
alleged murder of Colonel Thomas II.
Swope, occupied most of the time Of
the afternoon session of the case yes
terday and when adjournment was TAX
en- last night Senator Reed, who is as
sisting the prosecution, had not finish
ed the states opening statement.
Senator Reed was interrupted when
he said the state intended to prove bv
new evidence that Dr. Hyde had also
poisoned Christman II. Swope, brother
of Mrs. Hyde and nephew of the aged
colonel. Frank p Walsh, for the de-
fense, argued against the admission
of such testimony, The state in at
tempting to show that Christman
Swope was poisoned is trying to es-
tablish that DR.. Hyde har a general
scheme by which he planned to wipe
out the entire Swope family and thus
divert the great Swope fortune to his
wife. as the only remaining living heir.
The state contends that the introduc-
tion of testimony regarding Christman
Swope is necessary in order to such
plan.
The Missouri supreme court in re-
versing the verdict of guilty found
against DIR. Hyde at the first trial, de-
clared the testimony introduced at that
trial by the state failed to show any
motive for the murder of Colonel
Swope. The supreme court pointed
out that Christman Swope did not die
of poison but of typhoid fever, as
shown by the evidence.
Arguments on the admission Of tes-
timony regarding Christman were still
going on when the court adjourned for
the day.
Judge Porterfield has barred all tes-
timony nthe subject Of the typhoid
epidemic in the Swope household,
which the state alleged in the first trial
was caused by Dr. Hyde inocculating
the victims with typhoid germs Tes-
timony regarding the alleged bleeding
to death Of Moss Hunton by DIR. Hyde
also has been ordered not admitted by
the Judge and 1t is probable that all
reference to the illness of Margaret
Swope, also attributed to DIR. Hyde,
will be ruled out by the judge.

She didn't give me a chance, her

question of banking power and credit.
So common has become the assump-
ton by those persons most heard by
the public that Wall street is inimical
to every other spot in the country, and
so far have such theories found judg-
ment that an unfortunate prejudice ex-
lists that can only be removed through
greater concern by New York's busy
men-such concern as will cause them
to remedy any wrongs that exist and
then to have in the future greater re-
spect for the Importance of holding a
democratic attitude towards the things
outside of their immediate surround
ings."

APPEAL TO POWERS
FOR ASSISTANCE
Americans Position at Head of ri.
nancial Structure Now Appar-
emily Delicate.

Washington, D. c., Nov 21.-Russias
aggressive attention against Persia has
brought about crisis which has driv-
en- the latter country to an appeal to
the powers for assistance. Persia de-
sires an investigation of the Russian
ENHANCEMENT, or a chance to submit
the entire case to The Hague court.
1t is understood Russia has ignored
both requests and is continuing
policy which Persia fears will threaten
its indepe denee and integrity before
the case c1n be presented to the world.
1t is believed the note sent to Eng
land asking for assistance in having
the matter adjuei,5ated has been sent
also to the United States and other ma
tions. Thus far this country has taken
no hand in the Persian situation al
though the crisis has developed large
ly around Morgan Shuster the Ameri-
can treasurer general, who was recon-
ment at Washington.
The action of Russia in continuing
her threatening attitude without wait
ing for the formation of the new min
istry is the factor that has brought
Persia to the point of asking for out
side Intervention, it is claimed. AL
though Russias demands for apologies
and indemnities in connection with the
seizure of the property of the deposed
shah's brother are considered as un-
just and improper by Persia, the latter
country has apparently decided that
it will be necessary for other countries
to stay the hand of Russia, if the Per
sian case is to be fairly heard
No basis for indemnity or for apology
to Russia is recognized by the Persian
government Persia has never recog-
nized the right of either Russia or Eng
land to any voice in the control of her
commerce and has officially refused to
recognize the power of Russia and
England to make the convention of
1907 by which the two countries parti-
toned the commerce of Persia, Rus
sia agreeing not to encroach on Eng
lands commercial activities in the
south
1t is asserted that the dependence of
action given to Treasury General Shus-
ter by the new Persion parliament was
particularly aggravating to Russia. The
seizure of the property of the brother
of the deposed shah was made at Mr..
Shuster's direction after the former
had been declared an exile for having
led the force of shah in the effort to re-
capture the throne. The Persion gov
ernment insists that it has the right
to an apology from Russia, for the ac-
tivity of Russian consular agents in
attempting to prevent the seizure.
The position of the American official
whom Persia has put at the head of its
financial structure apparently has be-
come exceedingly delicate. Thus for the
Persian assembly has expressed full
confidence in him. and has endorsed
his determined stand in opposition to
Russian encroachments. A cablegram
received by the Persian-American Edu-
cation Society in Washington yester-
day from the Persian citizens of Cal

Talks Over the Situation With
Topeka Citizens.
THE ANTITRUST ACT
Not i'm Sympathy With Scheme
to Discredit Sherman Law.
Believes Kansas Will Stand Be-
hind President Taft.

Representative D. r. Anthony, Jr.,
of Leavenworth, has spent yesterday
and today in Topeka comforting with his
friends and discussing matters coming
before the approaching session of con-
gress in which Topekans arc interested.
He left for home this afternoon.
This afternoon Mr.. Anthony talked
Gbout the national good roads move
ment ard particularly his pet project
of a F't- Leavenworth-F Riley mill
tary highway with q number of citi-
zens of Topeka Secretary J. Will Kel-
ley, of the Commercial club, discussed
with the L Irst district congressman
bills before congress referring to Kan
sas river prt jectS in which Topeka IS
interested.
This morning a committee of veteran
soldiers, among whom were Captain Titus,
Captain Fuller and Comrades Peterson,
Allen and Ziess, talked over with the
representative those things in which the
old soldiers OF Topeka are most interested.
When asked what would be the most
important work of congress at the COM
ing session, Mr.. Anthony said:
The effort to amend the Sherman
antitrust act is looming large. The
financial interests of the country will en-
deavor to have it made less drastic and
on the other hand VIII be the effort made
to make its violation punished more Sc
verely.
Personally I am not in sympathy with
the wide spread campaign now on to
dlScredlt and destroy the sherman act
1 regard ii as the great charter of Ameri-
lean industrial and commercial liberty
4 think the overwhelming sentiment in
Kansas VIII approve President Iaft
fearless and impartial enforcement of the
provisions of the antitrust act instead of
putting it aside for another twenty years
of discussion and uncertainty.
Il shall also join with the effort to
secure further sensible business revision
of the tariff based upon the result OF
scientific investigation instead of the
hasty spectacular bills which our Demo-
cratic friends put forth at the recent
special session. and which were framed
solely from the standpoint of political ex-
pediency."
The Leavenworth congressman con-
cluded his interview with the State Jour
nal representative today. on political
matters by saying. And there will sure
ly be a liberal pension law enacted at this
session. Every condition will justify a
pension measure which will put the
soldiers of our country where
they can end their days in comfort"

MANY GIRLS IN MOB
They Hurled Stones From Horse
and Motor Cars.
Those Arrested Were Prepared
to Be Locked Up.

London, Nov. 22.-Unrepentant suf-
fragettes to the number of 223 many
of whom apparently are stin in their
teens, appeared at Bow street police
court today and were sentenced to fines
or alternative terms of Imprisonment
varying from a fortnight to months.
The women invariably chose prison in
stead OF a fine.
Counsel for the public prosecutor
said, in speaking to the charge, that
he could not adequately describe the
'disgracefal and oiscreditable scenes
of organized disorder" of which the ac-
cused were guilty.
From the evidence it is certain the
militant suffragettes acted on a COM
plete plan Of campaign AS soon as
they were repulsed by the police drawn
ND in Parliament square, they dis
persed into small groups, and mixed
with the crowds. These were kept in
constant movement by the police. Oc-
casionally a missile was hurled from
the middle Of the throng but the po-
lice were unable to detect the thrower.
This gave the militants more conf
dence and IS trey came within reach
Of the government offices in White
Hall and on the surrounding streets,
the throwing of stones became more
frequent and shouts of vote for wo-

most of the arrests were made. At the
National Liberal club on Thames en-
bankment, the excitement reached its
height.
Showers of Stones
The club was full of members and
their friends. These nocked to the
windows as the crowds approached,
but were soon forced to retreat in
order to avoid the showers of we'll
aimed stones which crashed through
the lower windows.
Many more arrests were made here

telegraph office was attacked as we'll

way. In some instances. the assail-

Somerset house, where the public
records are kept, also was the object
of attack. but its distance from the
sidewalk and it's formidable walls pre-
vented much damage.
Most of the women when arraigned

CASE.
Reed Resumes Opening State
ment to Hyde Jury.
Tells What the State Expects to
Prove This Time.

Kansas City, Nov. Ex-senator Reed
resumed his opening statement for the
state when hyde trial was resumed to-
day and the jury heard for the first
time the story of the alleged buying of
cyanide by DR.. Hyde.
Senator Reed outlined graphically how
DR.. Hyde at the drug store of Hugo
BreckIein, as Senator Reed said the
state would show ordered six 5-grain
capsules OF cyanide of potasslun-30
grains in all; how the amount and kind
OF poison so surprised the clerk, as the
state would prove, that he would not
sell the drug until he had consulted Mr..
BreckIein; how Mr.. Brecklein refused
to deliver the cyanide even though DR..
HYDE was Il known customer, but told
the physician to call at the store for it
Mr.. Brecklein cautioned him to be care
ful IN the use OF such a powerful
poison.
Senator Reed said the state would
show that DR.. Hyde told the druggist
he wanted the cyanide to kill dogs.
Senator Reed told again OF the sick
ness Of Col. Swope and described in de-
tail the death of the philanthropist
and as the prosecutor told of how as he
SAID, DR.. Hyde had bought coffin
for Col. Swope before he died, he paused
dramatically. Then Senator Reed
launched into other parts of his state
ment
A deathlike silence hung over the
crowded court room as he told how
II would be shown that " oung Tom
Swope" had seen Hyde throw away
capsules, portions OF which on being
analyzed later were found to have
contained that deadly and damnable
cyanide
Reed gave a large part of the time
to review of the illness of Chrisnan
