DR.. HYDE is OUT ON BOND
HE HAD REMAINED IN JAIL ONE
YEAR.
His Friends Qualify for $4,000 to
Gain His Release Pending Second
Trial for Murder.

Kansas City, April 27.-Mrs. Hyde s
"happiest day is here. Doctor Hyde
walked with her from Judge Sloyer's
courtroom. Friends had furnished a
$4,000 bond. lie was a free man,
master of his movements again, at
least until his second trial ends-per-
haps forever.
When Hyde pushed his way through
the crowd into Judge sioyers court
oom Mrs. Hyde awaited him. They
shook hands ioyfully and sat down
side by side to await the opening oil
court.
The attorneys in the courtroom rose
to their feet, as Judge Slower walked
to the bench. Mrs. Hyde whispered
eagerly to her husband. The judge
took from his pocket the decision OF
the seven circuit court judges-that
Hyde should be released on bond.
Judge Slower paused a moment.
Mrs. Hyde, one hand resting on hep
husbands arm, vas smiling her de-
light. Hyde sat impassiye. Only a
CLEAN, just the faintest CLEAN of pleas

Postal Progress

Postmaster General Hitchcock
is reported as confident that the
penny post is in the near future
for the United States. The post
office is so prosperous that he
thinks it can 500 risk cutting
the letter rate in two.
The postmaster general is re-
ported aslo as hopeful of secur-
ing soon at least a partial par
cells post. The reduction in let
ter postage would require some
such new source of revenue as
the proposed rural parcels post
would furnish. The annual rev.
enue from letters is about $780,
100000. Penny postage, or cent
postage rather, would cut this in
two except as the lower rate in
creased business, leaving a siz-
able deficit to make up.
Both these improvements in
postal service, once established,
would be established for good.
We shall wonder why we waited
so long to establish them. Yet
the Improvement is urged only
by a few people. 1t was ever SO.
Our postal progress has always
been handed down to us from
above. Having no means of
knowing how much better post
al service could be we have ac-
cepted it as it was without strong
demand for Improvement. Rural
free delivery, a godsend to the
American farmer, was established
with little help from him.
That we have by no means ex-
hausted the possibilities of post
office service the systems Of for
eign counriest sufficiently attest.
Fortunately the men who from
time to time come to manage our
~postoffice usually see these pos
sibilities and urge their trial
thore is, besides a postal pro
gross league that keeps hammer-
ing at the subject. The chances
are good, therefore, hat we shall
eventually have modern postal
service in spite of ourselves

charge by the Illinois senate. The
vote vas 10 10 T..
This action was taken OF recon-
mendation of the senate bribery in
yestigation committee after 1ilden,
Cummings and Benedict, through
their lawyers, had refused to produce
Tilden's personal bank accounts for
May, June, July and August, 1909.
The committee believes these bank
accounts will show evidence of the
use of money in the election Of VII
liam Lorimer to the United states
senate. Tilden had submitted an
AFFIDAVIT before the committee saying
these accounts show nothing directly
or indirectly bearing upon the cleo
ton of Lorimer.
He also had offered in a letter to
the committee to allow one member
to come to Chicago and examine these
bank accounts. Tilen made the eX-
press stipulation that he should be
allowed to designate the member OF
the committee. The committee took
the position. in which it was sustain
ed by the senate, that it refused to
allow Tilden to dictate the conditions
upon which the bank accounts should
be investigated,
The committee also insisted that
the subpoena served upon Tilden, ask
ing for the banking records, was SUI
ficiently specific and was not a so
called %"dragnet' subpoena, as a
contended by his counsel.
Warrants for the three men were
placed in the hands of E. II. Hatfield
of Lincoln, assistant sergeant-at-arms
Of the senate, and he was directed TO
go Immediately to Chicago and make
the arrests. On motion of Senator
John Daley of Peoria the senate di-
rected John ]. Healy. the attorney, to
accompany Hatfield and represent
him In any habeas corpus proceed
ings that may be started.
Attorney Sears, counsel for Tilden
before leaving the senate chamber
told Senator Jones, floor leader, that
habeas corpus proceedings to save
Tilden will be begun in Chicago.
