Arthur English
Dr. Cook at
Traveling incognito as Dr. Frederick A.
Cook Is a pastime. Arthur English of
Omaha claims he never undertook, but
which was thrust upon him. The recently
returned traveler tells his friends, how
ever, that being made to assume the ex
alted role, he went through with it with
credit so far as lie knew.
The story of how Mr. English passed as
Dr. Cook, and how several reporters at
Rio De Janeiro executed a scoop on the
world done in classic Portuguese phrasing
and headlines. Is told better by W. C. Sun
derland, who traveled with Mr. English.
Mr. Sunderland declares his traveJing
companion was waylaid by the South
American reporters, was interviewed, In
vited to a public banquet and finally was
quoted freely In the Latin-American paper
as the self-styled discoverer of the North
pole. Someone whose dentity Mr. Sunder

to the Portuguese-talking reporters that the

Kansas City, i epresentlng mine owners,
suggesting a settlement of the coal miners'
Ktiike. He says:
"It Is my opinion the demand made by
the mine workers' union for an increase
of 6.55 per cent Is fully Justified on account
of the lurge increase in cost of living, and I

eudum. -
The three Douglas count)' senators op

For the time being the war that is now
engaging Mr. Bryan's attention wlil be
sidetracked, and as a delegate who has sat
under the wing of the dove of peace at
The Hague he will talk of the delights and
the beneficicnt promise of the movement
for world peace. There will be other
speakers and other attractions, in the lino
of good music, and that an enthusiastic
audience will be present is assured. The
particular guests of honor will be the
pupils of the Seventh and Eighth grades
and of the high school. After they are
seated those of the general public interested
in the movement to abolish war, or to make
it impossible except under the most extreme
circumstances will be admitted.
This peace meeting, organised by the
Omaha superintendent of schools. Dr. w.
M. Davidson, Is the result of a resolution
passed by the department of superintend
ence of the National Education association
at its recent meeting In Indianapolis, when
Dr. Davidson was elected president of the
department.
The real date set for these observances
In the various cities of the country is May

CRAFT IS IN GOOD
K! lull I Uefulea Statements Made by
"Knockers' at l.os tintelea
To Mend I p Free Balloon
Sn tarda ,
The Baldwin dirigible balloon was put
Into commission Friday morning at Fort
Omaha and sent sailing skywards. Captain
Charles DeF. Chandler and Lieutenant W.
N. Haskell were in charge of the ascension.
The dirigible reached a height of 400 or
TOO feet and sailed westward with a gentle
east wind about tov.r miles southwest. The
v.ind was a little too brisk for the dirigible
to make a free flight back to the post and
It had to be towed back. The ascension
was a su.crss, showing tne dirigible to be
in good condition notwithstanding the bad
reports sent back last year from Los An
geles about its pooe condition.
The German captive balloon will be put
up Friday afternoon and evening, as will
some of the weather balloons. 1
The Interesting ascension will be made
Saturday morning, when the new spherical
balloon will be sent up, with Captain
Chandler and Lieutenant Haskell as aero
nauts. This will be. the first free balloon
ascension of the .year of the spherlcals.
Considerable Interest Is attached to this
ascension, as Captain Chandler will try
to break his record of last year of 150
miles in the free balloon ascension with
Lieutenant . Ware, which terminated with
the explosion of the balloon Immediately
as It landed, slUhtly Injuring both aero

to his credit and in legal expenses.
The mining man and former banker says
he Intends to return to Montana.
The one indictment for conspiracy still

respect, for in view of his acquittal last
night on the charges of misapplication and
over certification the remaining indictment
probably will not be press; d.
Helnzo's trial lasted more than two

Hyde Bitterly Attacked.
Prosecutor Conkllng's address was sever.
He told Ihe Jury plainly that he believed
Or. Hyde guilly and that was the reason
he was working so hard to convict hitu.
He phad'd that the case be disposed of In
this ttial. It 'the present arraignment falls
li brh:R a verdict, he Intimated, the de
fendant would never be brought to trial
again.
The greater part of Mr. Conkllng's speech
was devoted t.i Hyde's cyanide. Mr. Conk
ling said the defense promised In Its open
ing statement to show that the cochroaches
In Dr. Hyde's office came from a restau
rant In an adjoining building. Hut search
revealed, said the prosecutor, that the bind
ing In which the restaurant was lorn led
burned a year before the Swope truwrile
began.
As gentle as Mr. Coi.kllns's speech was
severe the final argument for the defense,
delivered by Attorney John H. Lucas. Mr.
Lucas appealed to th Jurors upon the
ground Ihat the life of Ir. Hyde showed
him to be an honest country boy, who had
never done any harm. Mr. Lucas closed
his address shortly b f ore ti o'clock.
When Some one suggested to the ac
cused physician this morning that tods

Attorney R. R. Brewster, representing
Ir. Hyde, began his address to the Jury at
the opening of court this morning. He pict
ured the home life of the accused physician.
"The Infliction of the death penalty," ha
said, "meuns not only death to the defend
ant, but probably death to the wife of the
accused man."
Special counsel for the state and the
foreign chemls'.s wero assailed. Mr.
Urewster spoke with much feeling about
newspaper Interviews given out by state's
attorneys before the trial started and he
drew a reprimand from the court.
"This case Is not being tried on the
newspaper accounts," said Judge Latchaw,
"Not only that, but he is not speaking
the truth," responded Attorney Rend of the
state's counsel. :
"proceed," said the court.
Speech of Prosecutor.
Supporting himself at times with a rhalr4
Prosecutor Virgil Conkllng spoke when Mrj
Brewster's address, which lasted an hour
and thirty-five minutes, had been com
pleted. The prosecutor's speech was a de
fense of hlnuelf for employing special

light of the awful predicament of the ac
cused man I can excuse him and shall pass
the mutter without further words."

Due tu the Inability of attorneys to force

marshals, the opening of the Hyde trial
was delayed almost a quarter of an hour.
Standing four abreast a thousand poople
lined up outside the building at the noon
adjournment hoping to be admitted In an
orderly manner. But, after patiently wait

a fourth of the spectators had obtained

the ranks broke and the people
charged tho doors en masse. In the emerg
