Hyde's Defense
KANSAS CITT. Mo., Nov. IX Cross
examination of Stuart Fleming, nephew
of the late Colonel Thomas 11. 6wope,
for whose alleged murder Dr. B. Clark
Hyde Is now on trial, was resumed by
Attoiney Walsh for the defenso today
The big feature of Fleming's testimony
that Dr. Hyde's attorneys would hresk
down, is the story that the accused phy
sician went to Fleming and asked to bo
made an administrator of the Swope es
tate. It had been previously testified in
this trial by Miss Pearl Kel'ar. Colonel
8wopc's nurse, that Dr. Hyde also sought
her aid In the same matter. She give
similar testimony at the first trial and
Dr. Hyde on the witness stand denied
emphatically the nurse's stntement. Flem
Ing was not a witness In the former hrar
Ing, and the state's main purpose in In
troduclng him this time Is to corroborate
Miss Kellar's statement. This testimony
la Intended to help prove Dr. Hyde killed
Colonel Swope, to swell Mrs. Hyde's In
heritance. Efforts of the defense to break down
the testimony of Fleming were futile.
After an hour on the stand he was ex
cused and Mrs. J. K. liaumann., formerly
Miss Anne Houlihan, who nursed Christ-
man Swope, was called. The defense im
mediately objected to the testimony as
not being connected with the death of
Colonel Swope. The Jury was dismissed
while arguments upon the point were
made.
Attorney Walsh had Just begun to speak
when two shots rang out from the court
house yard Just below the window of the
court room. It developed that a negro
laborer had been shot and fatally
wounded' by a policeman after he had re
sisted arrest and thrown pepper In the
officer's eyes. After a brief fiurry 6f in
terruption the trial proceeded.
Stokes Mercilessly
Grilled by Attorneys
For Show Girls
NEW YORK. Nov. 29.-The attorneys
for the snow girls, Lillian Graham nnu
Ethel Conrad, expected to finish their
cross-examination of W. E. D. Stokes to
day. Stokes Is the complainant at the
trial of the girls , for attempted murder,
and their counsel Is trying to prove that
when they shot him at Miss Graham's
apartment last June they fired In self
defense. The cross-examination df the wealthy
hotel man thus far has been mainly an
attack on his cnaracter and an effort to
show that In the case of Miss Graham
he was the pursuer and not, as Stokes,
Intimated, the pursued. ,
Tho cross-examination probed relent
lessly Into the relations between Stokes
and Mis Graham until some of the
women got up and left the court room
and the Graham girl aUtert Mrs. Alice
Andrews, sobbed aloud.
" Stokes - waa qiustloned " firrtner about
the time he spent at his stock farm near
Lexington, Ky where .s Graham vis
ited. "You had respectable women among
your visitors sometimes." he was asked.
"Yes."
Stokes Bald he had distinctly told Miss
Graham on one occasion that he woulu
have nothing to do with young glrla. He
declared that she made the advances.

opinion generally prevails that the dis
orders winch occurred here on November
26 Were only preliminary to more serious
events.
Among the wounded on that occasion
were twenty-one soldiers, and It Is be
lieved that the total number of wounded
far exceeds the estimate issued by the
rjovernment.
The riot, It Is said, was started by mon
archists who recently arrived at Oporto
and other places. It is declared they are
bribing the monarchist element and pre
paring for an uprising in Lisbon to coin
cide with the crossing of the frontier
by the royalists.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 29.-E!bert
H. Gary, executive head of the I'nltod
States Steel corporation, made a plea tor
"big business" today before the senate
committee on interstate commerce, which
Is searching for a solution of tno pres
ent trust problem in the I'nltcd States.
Big corporations are essential to the
development of the country anu tne
maintenance of business prosperity, he
said. To prevent their misusing the
enormous power that comes with wealth
and control of Industrial agencies, he
thought the government should take con
trol of them, through a corporation or
trade commission with absolute power to
regulate their affairs. Add to this a clear
law as to what can and what cannot be
done; the strong light of publicity on all
the affairs of corporations tend the elimi
nation of presidential and other political
Issues from tho business world and the
"unrest" that has spread over the United
States will largely disappear, said Mr.
Gary.
The coming election is already disturb
ing business, he added. He said members
of the courts ought to be appointed for
life; that the president ought .to Ve
elected for eight years without the prlv
tlego of re-election, so that he would be
In a "position and frame of mind" where
he would not he tempted to "look In any
direction or toward apr Interests" in
seeking re-election. '
Tnlks of PollUcnl Sitnatlon,
Mr. aGry dwelt at length upon the
political situation. He said : he had no
particular president in mind,' but that he
believed fewer elections and less rea
son for seeking public or private support
for political purpose would aid greatly in
keeping business at a Jevel. At the pres
ent time, he said, there 'was a great cur
tailment of business activity because of
the approaching election. ,
Judge Gary recommended the federal
license of corporations; ther control by
a trude commission; publicity of all their
affairs nd the sanction o( certain; acta
which the commlsgioij mght conslderuot
to dip refitranit of trade."
He promised to appear again before the
committee next week.
"How would tho commission know
whether an agreement among steel men
to fix the price of rails at $2S was 'ro
ut rain t of trade?' " asked Senator Cum
mins.
"It would soot' become competent to
know that," returned Judge Gary, "as
the interstate commerce commission has
become competent to decide whether rates
are Just and reasonable."
He declared unrestricted competition
meant the ruin- of the snlalt Individual
or concern and the gradual strengthening
of the natural monopoly of the larger.
As opposed to this he urged' that the gov
ernment recognize the need of partial
agreements between corporations and In
dividuals, so that an active competition
might still be maintained that would be
fair and free to all Interests,
'Is there any particular thing now
clearly forbidden by the Sherman law
that you think ought to be permitted?"
asked Mr. Cummins.
Mr. Gary thougnt not, but he Bald the
business difficulty lay In deciding before
hand what amounted to a "restraint of
trade."
(urjr Dinners Not to Fix Prices.
The famous "Gary dinners" where steel
men gathered to dUcuss their affairs were
not to fix prices, but to disclose their
business Condition to each other, he said.
"Every gentleman there, it he was a
gentleman, could go away with a full
knowledge of his competitors' affairs am?
could shape his business so aa not to ruin
his competitor," said Mr. Gary.
He added that he had not dared even
to hold these conferences lately; that
there was no means of knowing exactly
what constituted a violation of the Sher
man law, and that some governmental
commission ought to have the power to
pass on agreements or mergers that
would redound to tho public good an 4 at
the same time benefit the industrial In
terests concerned.

TAFT TALKS FRENCHMAN
President Interviewed by Francois
De Tessan of the Matin.
FOREIGN PROBLEMS DISCUSSED
United States Will Jint Offer to
Mediate Ilrtrreen Italy and
Tarker Unless Asked
to Ilo No.
PARIS. Nov. 29.-The Matin publishes
today what purports to be an Iruervmw
with President Taft. written bv Francois
de Tessan. The writer quotes the presl-
ttent on such questions as Intervention in
tne 1 urco-ltalian war, on America's at
titude In regard to China on ihe sit on.
tton In Mexico and on the general sub
ject of arbitration.
When asked about th nnsHthllltv nf
American meditation In the Turco-ltalian
war the writer says that president Taft
declared the United Slates was certainly
disposed to be In favor of the re-establishment
of peace; Nevertheless he felt
that It would be unwise to depart from
tho usual path.
"Our relations with the two belligerents
are, equally friendly. We do not wish tq
'offend the 1 national dignity f either.
Moraerer, the turCd-nallan'war con
cerns primarily the European concert,
There Is therefore the question of tact
for the United States not to put herself
forward to bring an end to a conflict
which, however, from the bottom of her
heart she desires to see ended.
"It is evident that If the Europsan
powers were In accord to ask for our
mediation we should be happy to work in
favor of peace. We have wished t' avoid
anything that might lead to a misinter
pretation of our action. That la the rea
son why up to now we have adopted an
impartial and Impressive attitude."
Situation in China.
Speaking on the subject vt China, Presi
dent Taft Is stated to have said that tho
United States would naturally defend its
interests, remaining at the same tlin-
faithful to the double principle of tho
maintenance of the Integrity of celestial
empire and of the open door.
"The United States cannot conceive on
the other aide of the Pacific a nation dis.
membered and a prey to foreign cupidity
in which our enterprises are 110 longer in
a state of etublllty. What will emerge
from the Chinese revolution Is a question
which no one knows how to answer. It
Is necessary therefore to act with pru
dence and within the limits of the Inter
national accords concluded after the
Boxer troubles. We are adopting a pa
tient attitude so as not to add foreign
troubles to the existing confusion in the
interior.
"The point of view of the United States
has not varied since the time of John
Hay. We wish to see China restored to
youth and modernised, so that when In
drstry and publlo works are acilvelv
pushed forward we shall be able to de-
veiop our commerce In accordance wtfth
the rules of loyal competition."
' Outlook In Mexico.
When askeu If any dlsnuleiltuda eilif.,,1
In regard to Mexico, ITesldent Taft re
plied that everything, would be dona to
re-establish peace, there, adding thut the
united States would not permit agltaors
to prepare a civil war on United States
territory.
"Our bankers, merchants and citizens
have been already greatly embarrassed
ty the persistent troubles. We have no
nostiie projects aaalnst cur neighbors.
but desire to maintain order."
Continuing President Taft Bald:
"On the eve of the uneulna- of tha
Panama cunul it Is of Importance to see
the people south of our frontiers enjoy
the healthful tranquility necessary for
tho triumph of the' ureut work about to
be finished, and to see the countries In
the vicinity of the isthmus In perfect se
curity rather than have the Mirru,i-
of unci axing revolutions and counter
revolutions."
The pit. idem remarked that ha r.
turned from the far west with the con
viction that he had accomplished a good
work and also with tho conviction that h.
had rilstlpa.ed misunderstanding 111 coir-
iiection Willi the arbitration- treaties
signed with France and Great .Britain.

Grand Jury to Look
Into Charge Against
Bert H. Franklin
LOS ANGELES. Nov. 29.-DItrlct At
torney Fredericks announced today that
a grand Jury would be called in a' few
days to Investigate the alleged attempted
bribery In the McNamara murder case,
for which Bert H. Frunklln is now under
arrest.
This widens the scope of the Investiga
tion, its possibilities being about as ex
tensive aa those of the Investigation of
the Los Angeles Times explosion.
Franklin's arraignment thla afternoon
was mostly' a matter of form, the only
question being the date to be set for his
trial.
Judge McCormlck. In department 12 of
the supreme court, today dismissed as a
Juror C. E. White, one of the men ar
rested yesterday with Franklin.
United. States Marshal Lee Youngworth
made a, statement today with reference
to Franklin's work while deputy marshal
In his offlco.
"Franklin served . from July. 1900, to
June It ,1m," eald Youngworth, "resign
ing at the latter date of his own volition.
Bert Franklin was one of the best offi
cers I ever came' In cuntaut ' tvlth. He-
seemed to have .a nose for the business,
and. he could produce more and better
results than anybody In my, offloa.'.'
Job Harrtman. associate counsel for the
McNamara and likewise candidate for
mayor on the socialist ticket, referred to
the Franklin arrest as follows:
"I have been busy with the campaign
and out of touch with the case for some
time, but nothing that I know about It
could Justify these charges."
Parker Says Money
Kings Did Not Favor
His Candidacy
NEW YORK. Nov. 2.-Alton . Tarker,
presidential nominee on the democratic
ticket In 1904, took Issue today with the
statements made yesterday by Wharton
Barker Insofar as they apply to Mr.
Barker's Intimation that the financial In
terests ever had Intended to support
Parker against Koosevelt.
"Mr. Barker probably did -not weigh his
words carefully enough," said Mr. Parker,
when his attention was called to that
part of Mr. Barker's testimony before the
senate committee In which he said an
eminent financier, now dead, had told
him the money powers had decided to
desert Parker and had made a bargain
with Koosevelt.
"There can be no doubt whatever," he
said, "that the republican party and the
iuterebts which constituted its leaders
were always In opposition to the dem
ocratic party. But It served their pur
poso then to get Mr. Roosevelt better In
leading strings and to that end they
withheld their checks for a time and
talked of hostility and undoubtedly spoke
occassional In friendly terms of the op
posing candidate."
