Roosevelt Starts
for Berlin on a
Special Train
He Will Deliver Lecture Thursday as
Originally AnnouncedProgram
is Changed.
STOCKHOLM, May .-Mr. Roosevelt
left for Berlin on a special train at 11
o'clock this morning. He was feeling well
and in a Joking mood, and considered him
self altogether, equal to tha visit in
Germany.
During the night the former president
had a little fever and today his voles was
husky, giving evidence to a slight attack
of bronchitis.
A Stockholm paper publishes a statement
that a messenger from President Taft has
reached " Roosevelt with a letter. In
which 7 't says he does not intend
to be I 'ate for the presidency and
Invites , r'f. evelt to become secretary
of state 'Ion to Mr. Knox. When
he as s. story today Mr. Roose
velt said ,'. is worse thsn a night

and that, oi i , no such messenger or
message exii '
Word comei ." Vholm that the fu
neral of King n likely to be held
May 17. which day following the
proposed arrival .,. Mr. Roosevelt in lin
den; hence the ex-presldent would be pres
ent for the funeral. He is prepared to post
pone his Oxford lecture, scheduled for
May 18, should the university authorities
so desire.
A heavy downpour of rain drove from the
streets the crowds that had gathered to
witness the departure of the Roosevelts,
but' the railway station was occupied to its
capacity. Among a number who were on
hand to say good-bye were Crown Prince
Olaf. Premier Konow and others of the
Swedish cabinet. As the train departed a
cheer was given.
The change in Mr, Roosevelt's program
at Benlin was made at his suggestion and
It is understood was accepted regretfully
by Emperor William.
IXJNDON. May 9. If Mr. (Roosevelt ad
heres to his traveling program he will
arrive In London on May 16. The fixing of
May 20 as the date of King Edward's
funeral will, however, preclude the possi
bility of the former president delivering
his Romanes lecture upon the original dale
arranged, which was the 18th.
If Mr. Roosevelt Is In London on the day
of the funeral he will be expected to at
tend, but the question has already risen as
to what his status woujd be upon that
occasion.
BERLIN, May R. The emperor has ' de
cided to accept Mr. Roosevelt's suggestion
regarding changes in the program for his
reception in Berlin and notified the Amer
ican ambassador today that he would not
meet the ex-president at the railway sta
tion and would not be able to receive him
as his guest in the Berlin castle.
The program of Mr. Roosevelt's visit
accordingly has been modified as follows:
Ambassador Hill with the embassy staff
will meet the train on Tuesday and will
atrceij&ny the former president, Mrs.
Roosevelt and Miss Ethel to the embassy,
where they will be guests during their
stay In' Berlin. Kermlt will be the guest
of the second secretary of the embassy,
Joseph C. Grew.
The party will proceed to Potsdam by
automobile on Tuesday and will lunch with
the emperor and empress, returning to the
embassy in the afternoon. Ambassador
HIU's dinner will be held Wednesday and
Mr. Roosevelt will deliver his lecture
Thursday at the university, the emperor
attending. Mr. Roosevelt will dine with
Chancellor Von Bethmann Hollweg that
evening. The plans for Friday and Satur
day have not bees; changed.

KANSAS CITY, May 9. Dr. Bennett
Clark Hyde, on trial charged with poison
ing Colonel Thomas H. Swope, took the wit
ness stand In his own defeusa late this af
ternoon. Using one of Dr. Twyman's ln
atrifments, said Dr. Hyde, he bled James
Moss Hunton.
'.'Did Dr. Twyman say anything about
bringing the bleeding to a close?" Interro
gated Mr. Walsh.
Dr. Hyde tried to answer the question
by giving the substances of the conver
sation' between him and Or. Twyman, and
the lawyers wrangled over the responses.
The witness was plainly disconcerted and
seemed to be confused by the objections of
the attorneys. His face flushed and he
mopped the perspiration from his brow with
a handkerchief. Finally the squabbling
closed, and he answered:
"Dr. Twyman said something about
enough blood having been removed. He
never said, however, that we had as much
blood as should have been removed from
any man. We took In all. about two or
three 'pints of blood. Dr. Twyman stopped
the flow with a string."
"Was this too much to take from him?"
"No."
Sara Apoplexy Caused Death.
"Did he die from the effects of the bleed
ing or from apoplexy?"
"Apoplexy."
"After the death did Dr. Twyman ever
say anything to you about the amount of
blood taken from Mr. Hunton?"
"So, sir."
. JuuVe Latshaw ordered the question and
answer stricken out.
Dr. Hyde said he became acquainted with
Colonel Swope In December, 1908, and saw
him at his home on an average of twice
a month from that time until his death.
Colonel Swope asked him, said the witness,
If he thought strychnine tonice he was tak
ing was good for him, and he replied It was.
"How did Colonel Swope appear after he
quit drinking liquors?'' queried Mr. Walsh.
"He was weaker, paler and more despon
dent. His pulse was weak," answered the
physician. -
Mrs. Hyde Pltlfol Witness.
From the ,llps of Mrs. B. C. Hyde 'the
Jurors In her husband's trial today heard
the story of the Swope tragedy.
Unused to the experience of testifying
before a crowded court room, Mrs. Hyde
made a pitiful spectacle the first few min
utes, she was on the stand. The mention
of the name of her cousin. Moss Hunton,
brought tears to her eyes, and she was
unable to speak.
The court room became silent. Attorney
Walsh ceased to question the witness. It
was feared she might collapse. But, after
sobbing for a few minutes, Mrs. Hyde
composed herself and was able to proceed
with her testimony. Thereafter she made
a good witness, speaking distinctly and
following the line of Interrogation without
difficulty.
The salient features of her testimony
were her declarations that:
Dr. Twyman adjusted the string which
stopped the flow of blood from Mr. Hun
ton's ibody. She did not request her hus
band to stop the bleeding.
Contradict Witness.
Colonel Thomas H. Swope never cried out
on his death -ed that he wished he had
never taken the medicine Dr. Hyde gave
him. The millionaire's symptoms were en
tirely different from those described by
the nurses who testified for the state.
Miss Keller, the nurse, who swore Dr.
Hyde asked her to use her Influence with
Colonel Swope to have ths physician made
an administrator of the ' millionaire's es
tate overheard her and Dr. Hyde discuss
ing such a plan.
Jordan, the "yarb" man's remedies were
used by Cprlsman Swope until a fw days
oefore his death.
She ate of the candy which Dr. Hyde
gave the Swope children and it did not
make her III.
She ordered the filtered water taken to
the Swope house, and that the family is
now using It. Dr. Hyde was not at Swope
home the day It Is alleged he Infected the
drinking water.
Mrs. Hyde's direct examination was not
finished at noon.

DAS FAITH IN THE C. 0, P,
Governor Eberhart of Minnesota Says
Party as Unit is All Right.
'
REPUBLICANS BANQUET AT ROME
Prominent Men of Omaha Tar Their
Respects to Visitor Many Ar
rive fr (in All. Over the
State.
"My faith Is In the republican party as
a whole, a unit," declared Govenor Eber
hart of Minnesota, who Is In Omaha as the
guest of the Central Republlran club. "The
talk of Insurgency has been the subject
of many overdrawn and much exaggerated
stories In the eastern prints, but I am In
clined to the belief that tfie movement is
now very clearly toward parry solidarity.
"Minnesota stands for progressive leg
islation, but Minnesota republicans do not
believe in reading anybody out of the
party because some one has seen fit to
call him an Insurgent. .
Governor Kberhart says that while there
have been attempts to attrfch significance
to the part that Senator Knute Nelson of
Minnesota has taken in ths Bdlllnger
Finchot controversy he does not consider
that this has any relation xo party ques
tions. He is more than satisfied by the
election of Mayor U,. the republican
candidate for the niajwr&hlp'of' St. Paul.
"Keller'a election means more than a
republican victory," said Governor Eber
hart. "It means a bill of health for party
honesty. It has long been charged that
republicans, were in a combine with the
democrats to deliver to them the control
bf the city's affairs. The election of Keller
will set that at rest for once and all."
Spends Day at Rest.
Governor Kberhart reached Omaha Sun
day morning ana rested quietly at the
Rome until discovered by his Omaha
friends Monday morning. Judge Sutton
sent a delegation composed of W. F. Wap
plch, J. P. Breen and A. W. Miller to the
Rome to kidnap the governor and deliver
him to the Juvenile court.
Governor Eberhart listened to the admin
istration of justice to the youngsters for
an hour and left to take lunch with Judge
Sutton at a gathering of the Social Service
club at The Young Men's Christian associa
tion. In the afternoon, Governor Eberhart was
taken about the city in an automobile to
see Omaha. At the Rome he was visited
by a delegation of Omaha people. Among
those who greeted tha governor were Silas
R. Barton, auditor of state; Uarryj Lindsay,
clerk of the supreme court; Mayor Dahl
man, City Comptroller Lobeck, Victor
Rosewater, editor of The Bee; John J.
Ryder, president of the Central Republican
club, and several members of the council
and other city officials.
Governor Eberhart was the guest of
honor and principal speaker at a banquet
of the Central Republican club at the Rome
hotel labt night. In his address he made an
appeal for the unification of the republican
party und discoursed tariff legislation at
considerable length.
The banquet was attended by a large
number of republicans from all parts of tlio
state and many state and city officials of
both fartlcs.

Canada's Capital
Shaken to the
Foundations
Ten Persons Killed and Fifty Hurt
by Explosion, Which Breaks Win
dows in Parliament House.
OTTAWA, May 9. An explosion which
shook Canada's capital to the foundations
and sent the city into the streets in panic
occurred Just before S o'clock Sunday night,
four miles away, when the magazine of
the General Explosives company, located
across the Ottawa river on the outskirts
of the French city of Hull, blew up.
.Ten are known to be dead and fifty at
least are Injured, soma very seriously.
Fire broke out In the workshop ot the!
factory, attracting to the neighborhood a
crowd of a thousand men and boys who
had been watching a base ball game In a
field nearby. Warnings were disregarded!
and the crowd stayed until two terrific ex- J
plosions filled the air with a mass of stone
which had fornW the walls of the fac
tory two feet thick. Men and boys were
mowed down as by a fire of artillery.
There were no houses of workmen within
a quarter of a mile of the factory, but the
flying debris reached many of these. In
front of one of these Kernand-Lourln was
mangled, while his wife, who had been be
side him, was left uninjured, but covaVed
with ths blood of her husband. Two deaf
and dumb sisters named Carrier were
killed at their supper table, while their
parents were not injured, by a half-ton
boulder which had traveled almost half a
mile.
The company states the amount of the
explosive which went off was under ten
tons, but as plate glass windows five
miles away were broken by the shock this
is considered an underestimate. Practi
cally every window in Hull was broken
and there was glass broken in every part
of Ottawa.
Windows were blown out of the Cana
dian Parliament building and Rideau Hall,
the official residence of the governor gen
eral, which was only two miles, from the
scene of tha 'explosion, lost practically all
Its windows arid two chimneys came down.
fc-ri urey and the entire household were
so alarmed that they sought safety in the
open. The property damage is probably
wuntn lioo.ouo.
The parish church of the Holy Redeemer,
half a mi:e away, contained an unusual
number of statues. The head of every ona
ot these was shaken off, while the bodies
were left: standing. ;

TELLS CONGRESS TO KELP OUT
President Sends Special Message on
Sugar Fraud Investigation.
PROPER OFFICERS AT WORK
l.raUIatlve Inquiry Wonld C'.mbarrns
Executive Department and Might
ltranlt In tirnnts ot
Immunity.
WASHINGTON. May 5.-Piesllent Taft
sent a special message to the house of rep
resentatives today to tell why he con
siders a congressional investigation of the
sugar frauds in the custom service inex
ped lent.
It Is believed "a congressional Investiga
tion at the time would embarrass the ex
ecutive department In the continuance and
completion of the investigation of the ap
praisers and other officers of the customs
service."
'The president's teply Was to a resolution
passed in the house on April 14, calling on
him to state his reasons for not wishing
a congressional Investigation.
In making his answer the president did
not lose an opportunity Jo tell the house
when a congressional Investigation was
necessary.
"The necessity for congressional investi
gation," tho president wrote, 'arises, first,
when an executive investigation Is either
not in good faith or Is lacking in vigor,
or when additional legislation ls needed
to prevent a recurrence of the frauds.
Duly of Investigation.
"The primary duty, wlttvrespeot to
frauds in the executive service, falls on
the executive to direct proper executive
Investigation and on the discovery of fraud
and crime to direct Judicial investigation
to recover what Is due to the government
and to bring to Justice the guilty persons.
"The report of the secretary of the treas
ury and the attorney general show beyond
question the utmost vigor and effective
ness in the Investigation and prosecution
up to this time and ;he achieving of ex
ceptional results of the recovery of
moneys of which the government had been
defrauded, the indictment of participants
in the frauds and In the reformation of the
customs service .with a view to the pre
vention of such frauds In the future."
With his message the president sent a
Joint report of the secretary of the treas
ury and the attorney general showing the
Investigation up to date.
Dinger of Immonll),
The danger of granting Immunity to any
offenders through a congressional investi
gation, the president pointed out, was still
very grafe. He referred to the case of
Heike, secretary of the American Sugar
Refining company, who was summoned b
for the grand Jury investigating the suyar
company's alleged connection with a com
bination violating the Sherman anti-trust
act and pleuded Immunity.
While the supreme court refused to pass
on the question, claiming It did not prop
eriy come before It, tho president indicates
iliat the point Is lct to be raised In tho
event of a convlstion of Heike.
If congress were to Investigate the
weighers' and appraisers' offices it would
have to go about getting Just such expert
evidence as is now being gathered, the
