Kansas City Mo- April Whether
Dr. Z. Clarke Hyde will stand his
fourth trial Ola the charge Of murder,
or will be freed entirely of the charge
will be determined. IL Is expected. at
the term OF court which begins here
tomorrow. The case has been contfn-
ned three times since the third trial
two years ago. Or, Hyde's counsel has
demanded immediate trial, and il Is
expected he viii again put Ia this de-
rnand when the case Is reached at this
term of court.
Ono of the bitches which has pre-
vented an earlier trial is an Injunction
suit brought against the county court
by two "taxpayers' to prevent the
court from paying the expenses OF a
fourth trial fer Or. HYDE. The injunc-
ton was sustained By the Supreme
Court. Floyd Jacobs. the prosecutor
has declared that the supreme Court
in it's decision admitted there was
collision between the taxpayers" and
the defendant in preventing the court
from standing the expense.

sules 1t was shown he had bought, 1t
was on the purchase of these cap
sules that his conviction was prnci-
pally based. Soon after Colonel
Swope's death came a number of in
fections in his family. The repeated
and continued illness and two sudden
deaths aroused suspicion and a secret
autopsy was performed on the exhumed
body OF Colonel Swope ON the re-
ports OF the Psychologists and the tes-
timony of the druggist who sold Hyde

The movement in favor Of prohibi-
ton for Scotland during the war has
assumed proportions which seem to
indicate victory. The deplora BILE re-

the men Of the New and Territorial

who are at the front is so noticea bic
that Government seems TO be con-
WINGED something must be done. Be
cause of the more serious situations
in the North. 1t is probable that Scot

Several factors are entering into the

 DENY STORY OF
 CUTTING WAGES

Chicago, May 28.-Garry Herr mann's statement that the country's baseball craft was likely to go upon the financial rocks this summer, which appeared in several Eastern papers Wednesday, morning was dis puted yesterday by President CoInis- key of the White Sox, President Ban Johnson of the American League and Captain Huston of the New York Yankees.
 t-There isn't a question but that Hermann is wrong in more than one way asserted President -yComiskey. -sI can't understand why he<ts making a hol1er now.
 'sIt may be a bad basebaH year, al- though I am not ready to admit it. The weather has been abominab1e, and that has hurt the attendance, but at the same time baseball, in order sto succeed. must be conducted exact ly the same as any other business; you must at least break even. Those who do not. have no business in base ball, and they are not baseball men. Did you ever hear of an established firm talking about throwing up, the sponge just because the receipts were falling off under certain condit1onsP
 "If Garry is kicking because of poor business it must be because the management has been badSS' said Pr6S10enC San JOhhSCn E1SET1Qahn should cheer up. The American League is not making any holler, Hermann was wrong in giving out the interview"
 '.I am not kicking on the business we have done,'' said Captain Huston of the Yankees, who are playing here. ssI have been busy travelling around the country looking over the ball stands with a view of putting up one of our own next year. That should be an answer to the criticism of hard times.''

MANY SNUBS FOR
 HARVARD COACHES

Cambridge. Mass, May 28.-HaF- wards non-graduate professional coaches are coming in for some pretty rough handling at the hands of grad- uates of the university. First, pr. Frank Sexton, the baseball coach's resignation was forced by the advts- ory baseball committee. who sought to have graduates help in developing the team Sexton objected strenuously. but Capt Hardwfek sided with the ad- visory committee and the doctors withdrawal followed.
 None of the graduates connected with the trouble now has seen fit to come to the field and help in the coaching. as they sought to do with Sex ton in charge.
 Coach Wray of the crew is the latest coach to encounter Harvard snub. Bob Herrick, chairman of the advis- ory rowing committee, gave a dinner to the victorious varsity eight on it's return from Ithaca, and Jim Wray was left off the invitation list
 This is not the first time by any means that Wray has been snubbed. Coaches Donovan and Powers of the track team are the other professional coaches of major sports at Harvard Donovan isn't worrying much. His contract has practically expired, and with all things equal he would willing ly seek other fields. Donovar's most strenuous kick would probably not be interference, but that his men do not take care of themselves that they should.

The Eastern association directors must give their consent before the In ternationa1 league can transfer the Newark franchise here but it is known that the directors will inter pose no objections. The Eastern would be willing to allow the inva- sion of this territory providing an agreement was made that the Inter national would keep the territorial rights only for the balance of this sea son. This agreement would be made before anything else was done.

 In reply to "a telegram President Barrow stated that he did not care to make a staten ent at this time. The National Board a few days ago gave the Eastern permission to reserve this territory so Newark cannot come here without the consent of the 0'Rourke league.

Six of the eight talIies turned out by the South siders crossed the pan during the first two sessions and once in front Joe Benz literally toyed with Donovan S forces.
 An old-tine jinx for the South Sid CTS, Jack Warhop, was the luckless hurler to suffer defeat Four walIops, two of them doubles, mixed with a pass and error, yielded a three run advantage in the opening session and by pressing the attack in the ec- ond the locals drove Warhop to the dugout- 70 ss.5,s5s,'1s.-' 4si #s H HEgN n n

Though clouted freely during the next five rouynds the Yankee sidewheeIer man aged to hold the Sox safe until the e1ghts, when two additional taIlies b1ossomed from timely hitting.
 Benz was master of the Gothanites in all except one inning and finished the congeaIed matinee, having surren- dered only five safe hits.
