Fourth Hyde Trial Begins

(By United Press Associations)
Kansas City, Mo. Jan. 6-The
fourth annual trial of DIR. B. Clark
Hyde for the murder of Millionaire
Thomas w. Swope of Independence
was scheduled to begin here
before Judge E. E. Porterield in the
criminal court. This trial promised
to differ from the others in that
United States Senator James A. Reed
is not assisting in the prosecution.
Reed offciated three times.
Hyde, a prominent physician who
married the niece Of Swope, was in
dicted for killing the eccentric mil
lionaire, his cousin and nephew with
cyanide of potassium and with poi
soning the whole Swope family with
typhus germs injected into their food,
milk and drinking water. In the first
trial Hyde was convicted. The Mis-
souri, supreme court reversed and re-
manded the case, affirming more than
fifty errors alleged by the defense and
scoring the prosecution and presiding
judge. The next trial juror went
insane and climbed out the transom.
A mistrial was declared. On the third
trial the jury disagreed and another
trial was ordered.
Mrs. Margaret C. Swope, mother
in-law of Hyde, paid the big end of
the costs in the first two trials, but
refused to aid the state the last time,
and for months costs were not paid.
The court informed the prosecuting
attorney that the case could not go
to trial again until all costs were paid.

Board Reports

(By United Press Associations)
PittSburg, Jan. 6.-One Of the mat
tiers before the new city council at its
regular meeting today was the APP
pointment of a new morals and eff
fciency board commission, as provided
for by act of the 1913 legislature. 1t
will comprise director at a salary
of $4,000, and six other members,
three of whom may be women.
The first committee served from
April 16, 1913, to December 8, when
it made final report to the council
and asked that it be relieved of fur
Their duty. In it's final report was a
recommendation for immediate elm
ination of the siXty-five disorderly
houses here when it completed its
work. 1t had reduced the number
from 247; put into effect stringent
sanitary code providing for safety
from venereal infection of inmates
and patrons alike; successfully rec
commended that the sale of liquor be
prohibited in the houses; found twen-
ty girls willing to enter a different
life and helped them, and made an
exhaustive study of segregation which
finally led to recommendation that the
district be wiped out.
Along other lines, it recommended
that "street walkers" and Washers be
suppressed; that any child born out of
wedlock be granted the rights Of a
legitimate child; that all public parks
be we'll illuminated; that churches and
schools be used as social centers, and
that women's clubs should devote
their attention particularly to promo
ton of the single standard of moral
ity idea. s-
