This Bank was established to meet the demands of the people; an and has stood the TEST OF TIME.

Jefferson City, Mo., April 6.—Gov- ernor Hadley to-day vetoed the immi- gration bill passed hy the last Legis- lature, He states quite plainly ina lengthy message that the Legislature was not sincere in enacting this law, and the Assembly tried to tie his hands to the end that a State Immigration Com- missioner could be named by four Democratic State officials, in spite of the fact that the bill made him a mem- ber of the board. This will leave the State for the |next two years longer without any authorized Immigration Commission- er: The inference is that the Gov- ernor does not want any commission ss-he-can-name—and—control. pay in which position he assumed the same logic toward home-rule measures, favoring only those which would give hint the power to make appointments and opposing all others. is to sell whar she ‘public rwanre—and the ‘deiand for: that we have been obli ieee” city, ara, wo way the ROT wpehs cara 0. HYDE GRANTED ANOTHER TRIAL Wiscouri Supreme Court Hands -own Sweeping Decision. Many FATAL ERRORS FOUNL Finding is so Severe Against Conten- tions of State as to Make a Sec- ond Trial on Same Lines impractical. Kansas City, April 12.—The su Preme court of Missouri reversed anc remanded the Hyde case. just one year, almost to the minute, from -the time when the trial of famous murder case began in the Jackson county criminal court. The opinion was written by Judge Frank lin Ferriss of St. Louis and concurre¢ in by Judges John Kennish and John C. Brown, who with Judge Ferris: compose division No. 2 of the su: breme court. It ordered a new triai tor Dr, Bennett Clark Hyde and re- versed his conviction, May 16, 1910 by the criminal’ court for the murder ot Col. Thomas Hunton Swope, mil Nonaire philanthropist of Kansas City and independence, The Errors Discovered. '® brief the supreme court held: That the indictment was at faul in that the state failed to prove that the “other deadly drugs and poison: ous substances,” by which it was al- jeged that Col. Swope was killed, were unknown to the jury, as the in cictment charged. That the trial court erred in ad- mitting testimony regarding the deaths of Moss Hunton and Chrisman Swope, the poisoning of Margaret Swope and others, which was char- acterized as irrelevant, incompetent and immaterial evidence. That the trial court erred in ad- mitting the expert testimony, because Drs. Ludwig WHektoen, Walter S. Haines and Victor Vaughn, the ex- perts, did not carry out their poison tests far enough, That the trial court erred in giving the state’s instruction that the jury should find the defendant guilty if the evidence showed that Col. Swope came to his death by “poisons un- known to the jury,” but administered by Dr, Hyde; and in withholding cer- tain instructions asked by the de fendant, That the trial court erred’ in revok ing the defendant's bond during the trial. That the trial court erred in permit: ting the prosecuting attorney and dames A. Reed, special counsel for the state, to make statements to wit nesses prejudical to the jury. And the opinion sustained severa. other minor points raised by the ap pellant when the case was appealed. The State Hard Hit. Will Dr. Hyde be tried again? This is the question that legal men are discussing. Many lawyers of exper: ience hold that the opinion of Judge Ferriss has not left the state a leg to stand on. The conspiracy feature was completely knocked out, the testi money as to the other deaths ardi sicknesses in the Swope household was held to be irrelevant and incom petent, and the cyanide feature, on which the prosecution based its case was held by Judge Ferriss to count for nothing. Facts—cold, hard facts—eliminat ing theories, are what Judge Ferris: the world: deals out in his 16, 000-word opinion MINORITY LEADER MANN HEALS PARTY DIFFERENCES. Progressives Were Given Equal Con. sideration by Being Placed on Important Committees. Washington, April 12.—House Mi nority Leader Mann announced the Republican assignments to commii- tees. Every leading progressive, 01 “insurgent” was given an importani committee. The house elected the committees, both Democratic and Ke publican membérs, without change ci objectien. Mr. Mann's course in recognizing the insurgents shows that he has sel himeelf the task of solidifying party lines, healing factional differences anu presenting an united front to the Democrats, not only during this ses: sion of congress, but in the large: presidential fight of 1912. He has striven to placate the discontented— a thing that former Speaker Cannon scorned to do, Over in the senate side of the cap itol Republican leaders are planning » similar course. The progressives ar. to be recognized as Republicans anc given important posts on committce.. Likewise the moving impulse there iz “to get together’ as Republicans anc io present as before the progressive became prominent; an unbroken party ront. The old time senate leade:. have come to see the great whit ‘ght in view of an approaching pres: .cntial campaign. Mr, Mann’s action has done more tc veal the Republican ranks in tur souse than has anything during t: vast fgur years. Mr. Mann takes as his only co: mittee assignment that of chairm:. of the conference of the minority It is a new chairmanship and indi- cates Mr. Mann's purpose to substi tute conferences of party leaders fo varty caucusses on legislative ma ters Wherever possible. Forme: Speaker Canfon was given ranking minority membership on the appro- priation committee, an assignment for which he asked and nothing éise. 1! is evident he was not consulted in the making up of other committee as- signments, Two progressives were given posi- tions on the committee on rules— Madison of Kansas and Lenroot of Wisconsin. With Dalzell of Pennsyl- vania and Wilson of Illinois regulars, they make up the Republican member. ship of the committee. The progres- sives have insisted the rules were not what they should be and Mr. Mann offers them an opportunity to mod- erize the rules. CONDITIONS CHANGE IN MEXICO A Genuine Popular Election is to be Held in the tate of Sonora it is Promised. Douglas, Ariz.

Kansas on Improvements Re- gardless of Rate Decision. Topeka, April 12—H. U. Mudge, president of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad company, came to ‘Topeka to attend the complimenta: dinner given him by the Topeka Com- mercial club. Mr, Mudge is sanguine about the Kansas business of the com- pany, and he announced that the $1,- 000,000 to be spent by the company in improvements this year in Kansas would not be curtailed on account of the freight rate decisions of the In- terstate Commerce commission, pre- venting the increase in freight rates. “We will spend in Kansas an amount proportional to our earnings— but I don’t believe the freight rate case will have anything to do with it just now,” said Mr. Mudge, DANGER IN GREEN ORANGES The Pure Food Department Sending Out Orders te Inspectors to Watch for Them.
