WARRANT ISSUED.
Samuel Brown Charged With
Attempt to Bribe.
Was Juror in Second Trial of
DIR. Hyde.

Kansas City, Mo, Marck S.-A capias
charging Samuel Brown, a juror in the
second trial of DR.. B. Clarke Hyde for
the murder of Col. Thomas H. Swope,
with attempting to bribe a county of
ficer was issued by the criminal court
today upon complaint of James l. Kill
roy, an assistant prosecutor. Kilroy's
complaint was based upon a statement
by Thomas Holloway. deputy marshal
in charge of the jury in the present
Hyde trial, that Brown had told him
there was 81, 900 in it, to bring about a
hung jury in the Hyde case and s., 500
for an acquittal.
A deputy was charged with serving
the warrant Immediately. Holloway's
statement to Judge Porterfield led to
the issuance of a John Doe warrant in
the case yesterday, but no attempt was
made to serve it. Prosecutor Jacobs
made two unsuccessful attempts to
trap Brown. On one occasion with a
stenographer, he concealed himself in
Holloway's house after Holloway had
made an appointment for Brown to
come there. Furnace pipes had been re-
moved so that conversation that ensued
might be heard, but the prosecutor and
witness lay for hours concealed and
Brown failed to come
Attorneys for the defense say they
place no credence in any story of an
attempt to bribe.

FOR AMENDMENT.
Direct Election of Senators
Ratified by Is States.
Formal Notices Have Been Re-
ceived at State Department.

Washington, March S.-The secretary
of state has received notice of the ac-
ton of the legislatures of eighteen
states upon the proposed constitutional
amendment providing for the direct
election of senators by the people. So
far not single state has acted ad-
versely. The amendment has been ap-
proved by Massachusetts, Minnesota,
New York, Arizona, North Carolina,
Oregon, Mississippi. Colorado, Wyom-
ing, Idaho, Texas, Montana, Illinois.
Maine, Nevada. New Hampshire, Wis
consin and Vermont.
The last named state approved the
senatorial amendment and the income
tax amendment February 49, but the
neglect of the state authorities to re-
turn the fact to the state department
promptly, acted to prevent the appear
ance of Vermont as one of the ratifying
states named in the formal notice is
sued by the secretary of state of the
full ratification of the sixteenth amend
ment.
Because of the large number of state
legislatures that meet only bi-annually.
it will be impossible to get the approval
of the senatorial amendment by the
requisite three-fourths vote during the
present calendar year

TO ISSUE PROTEST
Employees of Stock Exchange
Are Excited.
Fear Injury Because of Gov.
SulZer'S Bills.

New York, March 8.-Waiters, ele-
vator men, telephone operators, bank
messengers, telegraphers and clerks
in the financial district are engaged
in a crusade the like of which never
has been seen. 1t is directed against
Governor Suffers bills affecting the
stock exchange, and in particular the
bill to raise from 50 to 81 the state
tax on the transfer of ownership of
each 100 shares of stock. Members of
the stock exchange say such a meas
ure would seriously reduce the amount
of trading on the exchange, which al
ready is at low point, and among
the 10000 wage earners there is
genuine alarm lest many of them be
thrown out of work.
After the stock exchange members
had done what they could in the way
of protest to Governor Sulzer and
the legislature, their employees took
up the fight, and are buttonholing
politicians and members of the house,
writing letters and circulating petit
tions which are to be sent to Albany.
A telephone operator on the floor
of the stock exchange, who is one of
the captains of the new army of Wall
street wage earners, said today that at
least 10000 signatures to one of the
petitions would be obtained.

The last ballot stood to but
whether for acquitta1 or conviction
was not stated.
Mr.. Darrow asked that the time for
setting a new trial be fixed a week
from next Monday. Deputy District
Attorney Ford was reminded by the
court that he had said during his
closing argument that he would not
try the case again and was asked dio
this mean that the indictment against
DarrOw would be dismissed? -? Ford
replied that he referred only to his
own personal attitude and had no
authority to speak for District Attor-
ney Fredericks. Judge Conley then
announced that if the prosecution de-
cided to dismiss the indictment it
could do so between now and the next
time of the calling of the case, March
gath.
After further parley Judge Conley
on his own motion fixed March 81 as
the date for a new trial, which will
be the third on charges almost iden-
teal.
Darrow thanked the court and said:
Il will fight it out; L should have
been acquitted on the evidence and L
shall surely fare better next time"
The jury, it was stated, stood eight
for conviction and four for acquittal.

to Great Britain. 1t is not known
whether Mr.. Olney will accept, and it
was said today that the matter had
not gone so far as the sounding of
the court of ST. James as to Mr.. OIL
ney's acceptability.
No appointments to the other i'm
portant diplomatic posts had been
finally decided upon today.
Congratulations of the Philippine
people to President Wilson were pre-

Speaker Sergio Osmena of the Philip

the new administration would further
the move for Philippine independence
and saying:
ITO us, your oath of office means

President Wilson will begin prepa-
ration of his first message to- congress
next week. 1t probably will deal with
only two subjects, the tariff at some
length and currency reform briefly.
During the special session, other
messages may be sent to congress,
especially one on the need for cur
rency legislation after the house has
disposed of most of the tariff sched-
ules.
Predictions today were that the
president in dealing wit hthe present
tariff will confine himself largely to
an exposition of general policy and
point out schedules which he believes
are in particular need OF reform.

respondence of the closing days of the
Madero administration with the object
of showing the late President Madero s
alleged efforts to incite anti-American
sentiment throughout the republic.
Among the alleged orders given by
Madero during the last week of his
rule is one which direc,s the officers

port of Vera Cruz Ito fire Immediate
ly upon the American marines if an
attempt is made to land forces from
the United States war vessels pay
ing no regard to the expressed purpose
of the American naval commanders
merely to protect foreigners" The
execution of such order would have
meant the suicide of the Mexican ma
val forces, as a single shell from the
battleship Georgia, then lying only
300 yards distant, would have been
sufficient to destroy the Mexican gum
boat.
1t is also asserted that official files
show few days before his capture
Francisco Madero, in desperation, tele-
graphed to the state governors and
jefes politico throughout the republic
stating that American marines had
landed at Vera Cruz and that this
foreign invasion demanded the loyalty
of all Mexican citizens. The govern
ment may also publish the orders given
by Francisco Madero to General
Huerta, then commander of the fed
eral forces.
These orders are said to include in
structions to dynamite all the public
and private buildings between the ma
tional palace and the arsenal.

The reported arrival of Alfonso Ma
dero at Washington, where it is said
the details of the former Madero con-
spiracy were developed, has been cali

cabinet. 1t is said that the Washing

ercise extraordinary precautions in or

makers in the United States from par
ticipating in the plans of the fugitives,
who are declared to be anxious for re-
venge.

DR.. Rafael Cepeda, ex-governor of
the state of San Luis Potosi, was today
officially accused by the government of

abandoned their schedules, Hors-

made slow progress over the snow
co, cred streets. Many minor ac-
cidents were reported early in
the day and many fires threaten
ed homes that had been without
artificial heat for several months.
Low temperatures were report
ed from many cities. Snow was
reported as far south as Biz
mingham, Ala, and at Atlanta,
Go. A mid-winter blizzard was
raging in Wisconsin. All ship

A variety of Locke's writings during
the war referred to the great excite.
ment caused by the discovery Of flow
ing oil wells In Pennsylvania, whereby
great and sudden wealth had come to
many formerly poor farmers and 9th.

which Lincoln especially enjoyed re-
peating was "Oil's well that ends well"
He was particularly fond of David r.

1853 In Quincy. III. In 1863 he wrote

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Food and Catarrh.

Some physicians believe that
nasal catarrh Is due to improp-
er habits of eating. Eating indi-
gestible foods-fruits or shellfish
or Welsh bits-oyereating and
not eating enough, these things
engender the catarrhal habit,
which thus comes about In many
cases through the absorption of
poisons-toxins-- from undigested
or indigestible material In the
alimentary tract. Many man
gets a bad cold just from a too
generous meal, helped on with
rotations In goodly proportion.
Thus there is stimulation, follow
ed by reaction. with perspira-
ton. all conducive to catarrhs.
Again, DR.. Campbell has found
in London that practically all
the very young children Of the
poor have more or less catarrh.
which would probably not be
the case If the starches and the
sweets were put out Of the diet
airy. 1t Is not SO much that they
are starved as that their food is
improper for them. Bad teeth
are an enormous factor In the de-
velopment of catarrhs and are
the sole cause of many.
