Indianapolis, Ind., April 27.
With most of the delegates on the
ground today, the skirmish before the
stato Democratic convention which
opens tonight is becoming hotter.
That tho convention will develop In
to a test of strength between Thos.
Taggart, former chairman of tho na
tional Democratic committee, and
Governor Thomas R. Marshall,
backed by John E. Lamb, vice-chairman
of tho national commitee, seems
certain.
Senator Benjamin P. Shlveley, first

The Great
date for tbo senate will doubtless be
fought out on the floor of the con
vention. Lamb and Taggart are both can
didates for senator. Lamb Is back
ing Marshall's proposition that the
convention choose n candidate. Tag
gart is fighting it, but has an
nounced that he will go beforo the
convention for endorsement, If the
plan Is adopted.
Marshall and his forces believe
this will be the opening skirmish. It
has been agreed that the report of
the cominlteo on rules and order of
business shall not bo presented until
Marshall takes charge as temporary
chairman, Instead of being present
ed when State Chairman Stokes Jack
son takes the chair to call 'the con
vention to order. Taggart delegates
are Incensed at this change in the
regular order of procedure.
Senator Shlvoly has given no indi
cation of his attitude on the sena
torship proposition, other than that
he favors a compromise, if one can
be brought about.
Indlannpolis, Ind., April 27. Ad
mirers of Governor Thorns R. Mar
shall today reluctantly predicted that
Thomas Taggart and his delegates
would carry their point In the con
vention tonight, and that tho party
will not endorse a candidate for the
United States senatorship.
The Marshall men will not admit
that Taggart Is in control of the con
vention, but they say he will-be able
personally to dominate affairs suffi
ciently to defeat tho endorsement
plan.
The Marshall men have not quit
fighting yet, and it is still believed
that the whole matter will go before
the convention, and be fought out on
the floor.

B. C. Hyde purchased cyanide of po
tassium, a, poison never used by doc
tors for medical purposes, en Sep
tember 13, December 4 and Decem
ber 9, was tho testimony of Hugh
Brecklein, a druggist. Dreckleln
said he told Dr. Hyde that tho drug
was poisonous, end that Dr. Hydo re
plied that he knew it, and was going
to use it In poisoning somo dogs.
Brecklein produced some capsules
containing digestive powder identical
In appearance with tho cyanide cap
sules.
Glazier .Williams, Brecklein's
clerk, took Dr. Hyde's prescription
for cyanide in five-grain capsules.
He testified today that ho referred
the prescription to Brecklein, who
had told him to call Dr. Hydo by tel
ephone, and ask if a mistake had not
been made.
Dr. Hyde said, according to Wil
liams, that the prescription was cor

with which to kill dogs. That state
ment he later repeated to Brecklein.
Another important feature was tho
testimony of Dr. B. L. Stowart, a i

alleged to have bought largo quanti

"Tho actlpn of tho government In
instituting the Now York Investiga
tion of the alleged cotton pool,
should not bo construed as a legiti
mate Attack on tho operations of any
cotton or produce exchanges
throughout tho country.
"The proceedings, being before
tho grand jury, cannot be discussed
now.".
Tho' federal grand jury nt Now
York has been investigating charges
against the so-called cotton pool and
dozens of witnesses havo been exam
ined by the government attorneys.
Books and papers of investors have
boon examined and there havo been
rumors that 'the grand Jury will call
the directors of the cotton exchange
There was a genoral feeling on
tho cotton exchange that while tho
witnesses havo beon called "to testi
fy in the inquiry of tho government
against William P, Brown, F. B.
Hayno, of New Orleans, James A.
Patten, of Chicago, and Eugene P.
Scales of Texas, on a charge of "al
leged conspiracy to advanco tho
price of cotton futures in violation
of tho law," the real plan of tho
government is to put tho cotton ex
change out of business.
It has beon charged by brokers
that the present action of tho gov
ernment Is political, pure and Dim

made the butt because It lies In the

It is believed thbt the Issuance of
