The decision handed down by the Inter

reserve any discussion in the matter until
they , learn Jhe whole: of the contents of
the. decisions handed dpwn by the court.
W. H; Gai rat, assistant general freight
agent of the Union Pacific, said: "I haven't
learned the full meaning of the decisions
which were liaudi.'d down by the commis
sion, but the railroads expected that some
sort of. a reduction, would, be ordered. We
don't know; jfit what the ruling , of the
commission t tally amounts to."

tell a' thing about the decisions. I didn't
know that the cases we're decided by the
commission. As soon as we learn the full

years and it'.was generally, expected that
some sort at reduction would be ordered.

NEW TRIAL DENIED HYDE
Prisoner's Attorney Files Motion for
Arrest of Judgment
IT WILL BE ARGUED TUESDAY

Sapresne Co art Will Bo
Taken I' p.
KANSAS CITT. June .-Dr. B. C. Hyde
convicted on , May It last of poisoning
Colonel Thomas H. Bwope, the millionaire
philanthropist, was denied a new trial by
Judge Ralph 8. Latshaw in the criminal
court here this morning.
Tha prisoner's attorney immediately filed
a motion fot the arrest of Judgment and
the Judge set Tuesday next aa the time
for arguing the point. When this motion Is
disposed of next week, the matter of ap
peal to the supreme court and a motion to
release Dr. Hyde on bond will be taken up.
Mrs. Hyde sat beside her husband dur
ing the reading of Judge LaUhaw's de
cision this morning, t Neither appeared dis
turbed by the court's refusal to grant a
new trial. Hyde smiled back at his wife
as he returned to his cell.
Dr. Hyde was tried on the speclflo
charge of murdering Colonel Swope by the
administration of poison while attending
him as a physician. There are ten other
indictments against the physician, charg
ing him with killing and attempting to
kill various members of the Swope family.
The theory of the state was that Hyd
desired to kill the other heirs to get pos
session of the estate through his wife's
Inheritance. Mrs. Hyde was a niece of
Colonel Swope.
Decision of the Coart.
In regard to the charge of the defense
that he hud prejudiced the Jury against
the defenduut In revoking the latter's bond
and sending him to Jail, while the trial
was In progress. Judge Latshaw said ten
of the Jurors had made affidavits that
they did not know Dr. Hyde bad been sent
to Jull until after the trial was "finished
and that the Jury's verdict was not influ
enced by the court's decision. Judge Lat
shaw said he exercised the greatest care
to keep from the Jury the fact that- the
defendant wus in JaiL
He said the prosecution had lost the
grand jury nuius ana was uiererore uis-1
arnifcl nnri hA ,1M not Int.n.l lliuf (li.l
court should lose the prisoner. He said
that should the defendant have failed to
appear in court, the court would have
been compelled to discharge the jury and
the defendant might have been immune
from a later trial because of the publicity
that had been given the evidence against
him.
He said his action In admitting evidence
relating to crimoa charged In other indict
ments against Dr. Hyde other than the one
on which he was tried, was legal and sup
ported by numerous decisions. He said
that when a series of offenses tended to
prove a general motive, evidence relating
to all of them was admissible In a trial
where only one specific charge was made.
The court said it was proper to admit
evidence that the defendant had used cyan
ide In committing the crime even though
the Indictment read that Colonel Swope
came to his death by the administration
of strychnine or other poisons. He said
that the attorneys for the defendant had
the grant! Jury notes In their possession
and wer aware that the grand Jurors
had no knowledge that cyanide had been
used bit, toe defendant. The defendant In
his motion for a new trial' contended that
the indictment should have stated specif
ically what poisons were used.

conservation of the youth of our state, our
young men and women. Is well worth con
sideration, for without question they are
our most valuable asset. J only wish that
more of our stalwart sona might receive
their education In the agricultural school
and there learn of the mysteries of the
soil and bo taught the high calling of the
farm. For years the cities have been lur
ing the young men from the farm, at
tracting them by their glamor, and thriv
ing through their efforts. Even today there
is a great demand for the farm boy to
carry on the business of the city, and if wc
supply the demand, we, ourselves, are the
sufferers. In my judgment, one of the
greatest questions today bcoe the Ameri
can people is how to better educate and
how to better prepare our boys and girls
for scientifically cultivating our farms and
for making our' rural homes happier and
more attractive."

Joseph Teahon,
Old Railroader,
Passes Away
Civil War Veteran, .Indian Fig-hter
and Friend of General Grant
Succumbs to Old Age.
Joseph Teahon, veteran soldier, railroad
man and Omaha pioneer, died yesterday
afternoon at his residence, 2105 Howard
street. In his passing there is snapped a
genuine link with early railroad days In
Nebraska.
Mr. Teahon had been a continuous resi
dent of Omaha for forty years, having
come here to live In 1870. Three years
earlier he had first visited the city, having
passed through o' his Way to a mining
town called Miner's Delight, where he
spent several years digging gold and fight
ing Indians, the latter with more success.
In Omaha he Immediately went to work
for the Union Pacific, transferring bag
gage and passengers across the Missouri.
The Union Pacific bridge was then In
course of construction, but was not com
pleted until two years later.
In 1871 iMr. Teahon was made Joint bag
gage agent of the Rock Island, North
western, the Kansas City, St. Joseph &
Council Bluffs and the Chicago, Burlington
& Qulncy roads. - A ' little later he became
city passenger agert for the Kansas City,
St. Joseph & CounlTl Bluffs.. His next po
sition was with the .Wabash, and January
L 1888 he became a traveling agent for that
road, a position he held until retired on
a pension three yeiirs ago.
Following his retirement! Mr. Teahon
steadily declined In health until the end
came yesterday. '
Before he fought' Indians In Wyoming,
Mr. Treahon sow service In the civil wur
and was promoted from the runks to a
first lieutenancy. He had enlisted from
Chicago, where he had removed wltfl his
parents from New York when he was 7
years of age. In Chicago he had his fnrst
Job In the mall service at the Union sta
tion. It was while he was a youth here
that he rode upon the first street car In
Chicago, a mule power affair which ran
from the West side down to State street.
Mr. Teahon had known General Grant
before the war In Illinois and during the
course of their four years conflict saw
him following an engagement known as the
battle of Holly springs.
The deceased was a well known figure In
Omaha, particularly In railroad circles and
in the "Chalk club.". He was married and
Is survived by . his wife. There are no
children. The funeral will be held Friday
at 8:30 to St. Peter's. Thence at to Holy
Sepulchre for interment.
