More 'Evidence to Be Presented
When Grand Jury Resumes on
Wednesday AH Other In
quiries to Be Disregarded.
CHICAGO, Feb. 20. (Special. ) It be
came known tonight that indictments have
been drawn in the Government's beef In
vestigation and that the return of true
bills against the packers awaits the will
of members of the Federal grand jury
who have heard the evidence submitted
In the past four weeks by District Attor
ney Edwin W. Sims and his assistants.
Only the desire of the Federal lawyers
to submit an exhaustive review of the
packing case and the anxiety of mem
bers of the Jury to make the inquiry com
plete in all details have worked against
the return of indictments before this
date.
This attitude of thoroughness and care
fulness will hold until the end of the
inquiry, which may continue for two
weeks longer.
It is known thit Mr. Sims and Mr.
Wilkerson refuse absolutely to be swayed
by reports from New Jersey, Missouri
and Kansas regarding investigations that
are underlay in thos? states. The Gov
ernment's law3-ers will take cognizance
of these other inquiries only in so far as
new evidence, not yet presented to the
Federal grand jury or in the hands of
the Federal attorneys, is disclosed.
According to inforrration secured today,
Oliver K. Pagan, indictment expert from
the Department of Justice at Washington,
completed the drawing of the Indict
ments on Saturday, after working over
the bills all week.
When seen tonight. Mr. Pagan refused
to affirm or deny the report that he had
completed the drawing of the indictments.
There is still considerable evidence to
be presented to the grand jury which
will resume the inquiry proper on
"Wednesday, although it may meet for a
short time tomorrow.
District Attorney Sims, Assistant Attor
neys Wilkerfon and Coderman and Mr.
Pagan spent most of Sunday in Mr.
Sims' offices in the Federal building
working on details of their case.
Legal representatives of the packers
left Chicago for New York today, sup
posedly to investigate the situation in
Jersey City where indictments were vot
ed against thirteen of the officers and
llrectors of the National Packing Com
pany on Friday.
Those who are named as indicted re
fused to d!scuss the subject or make any
statement for publication today.
Edward Tildeon, president of the Na
tional Packing Company, spent Sunday at

lie will return to Chicago tomorrow
morning.
BATTLE IS NOT iBATED
(Continued From First Page.)
Redmond and his colleagues vote
against the budget. This would mean
the probable defeat of the budget and
of course the defeat of the Ministry.
He and Healy have tried to work up
In Ireland a violent feeling against
the budget and have descended to
depths of misrepresentation which
rarely have been surpassed in politics.
One of the favorite statements made
by these gentlemen Is that the budget
inflicts $10,000,000 more taxation on
Ireland annually. It does not. It is
doubtful if it adds $2,225,000, and even
of this sum a considerable portion will
be paid by the upper classes., Anyhow,
the budget is for only one year.
Within a few weeks from now a new
budget will have to be introduced, and,
of "course, the Ministry will be ready
to make concessions to Ireland on that
budget. Meanwhile it would be simply
Insanity on the. part of Irishmen to
put out a Ministry which is about to
make war on the House of Lords
that is to say, on the last bulwark of
the Tories against the concession of
home rule to Ireland.
The papers are full of suggestions to
the Ministry as to the tactics which
they should pursue In the coming ses
sion of Parliament. Many of these
suggestions are, of course, impossible.
For Instance, it is suggested that the
Ministers should bring in their bill to
limit the vote f the House of Lords
and hold up the budget until they had
either accepted or rejected this pro
posal. This, of course, would put the
finances of the country into even
greater anarchy than they are in at
this moment. And it would be very
like violent revolution to keep the
country without money for two years
until such a struggle was over, for if
the measure suspending the powers of
the House of Lords would be first re
jected by the Lords it then would have
to be presented a second time. It is
bard to see how the process could take
less than two years.
It la not possible, then, to take such
' heroic steps. But all the same it is
absolutely necessary that the Ministers
should make their attack on the House
of Lords the very first moment the
budget has passed through the House
of Commons. On this point there is
no difference of opinion among those
who support the Ministry. Liberal pa
pers differ among themselves, of course.
Borne are more radical, some more con
servative. But with one accord they
all proclaim the necessity for the cam
paign against the Lords being- vig
orous and prompt.
Similarly, all the Liberals of the rank
and file with whom I have spoken de
clare that any hesitation or compro
mise would be fatal to the very-existence
of the Liberal party. Winston
Churchill in the words I have already
quoted sums up the situation: "Wre
must march on the enemy's guns." I
have no reason whatever to suspect
that this is not the opinion of every
other member of the Cabinet. Sir Ed
ward Grey and Haldane, who are sup
posed to represent the Whig section
in the Cabinet, have been quite as pro
nounced against the Lords as Lloyd
George and Churchill. Asquith is a
man slow to take up a position, but
when he takes it up he does not drop it.
I therefore have no doubt that with
in a few weeks after the meeting of
Parliament we shall have the first shot
fired by Asquith in the fight against
the Lords. This will have a great ef
fect, especially on the component parts
of the majority by which he is sup
ported. The Labor men will be com
pelled to sacrifice minor issues to such
a tremendous and supreme struggle
for popular liberties. Similarly. I be
lieve all Nationalist Ireland will rally
to the flag of Redmond when he throws
in his lot with the Liberals in such a
fight. . ,

TALE TO HURT HYDE 1 1
Testimony of Miss Lucy Lee
Swope Eagerly Awaited.
LAST ONE TO BECOME ILL
Hinted She May Have Been Inocu
lated With Typhoid Germs on
Way Hack Front Sew York
i in Care of Dr. Hyde.
KANSAS CITY, Feb. 20. When the
grand jury that is investigating the
deaths of Colonel Thomas H. Swope
and Chrisman Swope resumes its work
tomorrow it is believed it will begin
the examination of witnesses who can
tell of a possible motive for the al
leged poisoning of the millionaire and
his nephew.
At tomorrow's session it is under
stood John G. Paxton. executor of the
Swope estate, and Thomas Swope, a
nephew of the dead philanthropist,
will be on the witness stand.
Mr. Paxton, it is expected, will tell
of the amount of the Swope estate,
and of the manner in which it was
divided.' A report that Colonel Swope
had considered changing his will also
will come In for consideration.
Frank P. Walsh, attorney for Dr.
B. C. Hyde in his $100,000" slander suit
against Mr. Paxton, will continue the
taking of depositions tomorrow. It
was said tonight that Miss Margaret
H. Swope, a niece of Colonel Swope,
may be subpenaed to give her deposi
tion. '
Lucy Lee Swope to Hurt Hyde.
Miss Lucy Lee Swope, who has not
yet been allowed to tell the full story
of what she knows of the house of
mystery called "Bleak House," where
the Swope family lived, is thought to
be one of the most important wit
nesses yet to he called in the grand
jury Investigation.
There is a suspicion that Miss Swope
can tell things that will damage . the
character of Dr. B. C. Hyde still more.
When Miss Swope returned from Paris
after a trip abroad. Dr. Hyde went to
New York to meet her and accom
panied her back to Kansas City. It
has been intimated that on this trip
back she was inoculated with the ty
phoid fever germs that caused her toi
be taken ill with thedisease Decem
ber 22. The full story of the journey,
with all the sidelights that would
bring out this line of evidence, is yet
to be told.
Much as the Swope side of the case
would like to get at this testimony.
Dr. Hyde's attorney is still more anx
ious to bear it. He Is Frank P. Walsh,
the man who has been keeping the
process-servers busy. His men suc
ceeded in getting at Miss Swope with
a paper, although the Swope home
had been guarded closely, and nobody,
no matter what excuse was given, had
been allowed to enter the house.
The Prosecuting Attorney Interposed
an objection to the young lady's,. testi
fying before the other side, saying
he ne'eded her himself. As a conse
quence, Mr. Walsh Is waiting his
chance to learn what she can tell of
Dr. Hyde and his attentions to her.
As the last member of the family
to be stricken with the disease. Miss
Lucy Swope's testimony is held to be
more than usually important.
Typhoid Epidemic Baffles.
The typhoid epidemic has been one
of the hidden secrets of the Swope
home, that house of mystery and fa
tality. Without any apparent cause
one member of the Swope household
after another was attacked by typhoid.
Here is the chronology of the epi
demic, i
December 1, Margaret Swope be
came ill.
December 2, Chrisman Swope became
ill.
December 4, Cora Dixon (governess)
became ill.
DecemberyH, Lenora Copridge (ne
gro servant) became ill.
December 5. Stuart Fleming, exec
utor of the Swope estate, became ill.
December 9. Sarah Swope became ill.
December 11, Stella Swope became
ill.
December 22, Lucy Lee Swope be
came ill.
RILEY'S MAN IS RELEASED
Police Captain Declines to Hold
Prisoner of Railroad Detective.
Charging that John Loiacono. known
as "French Johnny," used insulting lan-
Dr. B. C. Hyde.
guage toward him and threatened to kill
him. without apparent cause, Joe Riley,
special detective for the O. R. & N., last
evening arrested the man, searched him
and on finding a long clafp knife in his
pocket took him to police headquarters,
where Captain Bailey refused to place
Loiacono under arrest.
Riley said that he was passing the
Wells-Fargo building, when he was
stopped by Loiacono, who glowered at
him and cursed him roundly. "I'll kill
you," raid the Frenchman, reaching for
his hip pocket, according to Riley.
Loiacono, who is manager of the Bon
Ton saloon. In the North End, said that
he had been dining with two women and
after leaving them thought he saw Riley
wave his hat at them. This made him
feel like committing murder. Riley said
he had not observed or waved his hat at
any women.
BRIDGE PIERS PROGRESS
CENTRAL ROADWAY OX MADI
SON STRUCTURE CRITICISED,
Teams Crossing Tracks Will Block
Traffic and Cause Collisions,
' Is Fear Expressed.
.
Although work on the superstructure
of the Madison street bridge has not
yet been begun, it Is expected by those
who are working on the bridge that the
structure will be completed about mid
summer, or in contract time, with the
exception of about six weeks' delay
caused by the engineers in getting the
plans prepared.
The eastern approach has been com
pleted and that on the western end is
almost finished. Many interested per
sons visited the bridge yesterday, and
some of them made complaint concern
ing) the placing of the streetcar tracks
on the sides of the bridge, and thus
forcing all the wagon traffic to cross
the tracks on the Inclines at the ends,
in order to reach their proper places in
the center of the bridge.
It was asserted by some of the visitors
to the bridge yesterday that serious dan
ger from collisions and congestion of
traffic would be the result.
Two piers nearest the eastern . end of
the bridge has been completed and are
ready for receiving the superstructure.
The original plan of constructing the
superstructure on barges, and putting It
later in its final place has been aban
doned, and it is Intended now to put it
together on the piers.
The work of putting in the piers Is
progressing rapidly, and the third one is
expected to be ready for the superstruc
ture soon.
CHECK PAYMENTS BANEFUL
Dr. Kinney Says Practice Is Dan
gerous If Stringency Occurs.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. "We are
Justified in concluding that 50 or 60
percent of the retail trade of. the
country is settled by means of checks
and other credit Instruments. Over
90 per cent of the wholesale trade ,is
done with credit instruments."
Such are the conclusions of Dr.
Davis Kinley of the University of Il
linois, expressed In a monograph
which the National Monetary Com
mission will Issue in a day or two un
der the title of "TheUse of Credit In
struments in the United States."
Dr. Kinley says the use of checks is
promoted in a measure by the pay
ment of wages in checks. Of the week
ly payrolls reported by the banks, 70
per cent were in checks.
"Transaction of so large a volume of
our business in checks is an element
of danger in times of stringency and
crisis," said Dr. Kinley. "In such times
the uncancelled balances of credit tran
sactions create a larger demand for
money.
"Consequently 'there ought to be
some means of supplying additional
currency when credit , as a means of
payment diminishes."

LATENT TALENT IS SHOWN

Military Selection Makes
Favorable Impression.
A programme of music that stirred the
pulses of all who had the pleasure of
hearing it, interpreted by one of the
largest bands that ever represented Port
land, formed the musical feast given yes
terday afternoon at th Bungalow The
ater by the members of Musicians'
Mutual Association Local, No. 99, A. F.
of M., to help swell the fund towards
Street decoration for the approaching
Rose Festival.
The size of the audience was not com
mensurate with the fine and generous
quality of the concert, although every
number was well received and the ap
plause generous. The bandsmen num
bered about 60 and they played with an
enthusiasm that was charming to behold,
but the ensemble effect would have been
better had all the musicians attended re
hearsals. However, for a "pick-up" band
everything went very well indeed and
the concert taken as a whole showed
what latent talent we have in this city
talent that should not be allowed to go
to waste.
Three Conductors Divide Honors.
There were three conductors. Ralph W.
Hoyt, Charles Dterke ' and William H.
Boyerand afl three succeeded admirably.
The wood wind section was placed at
both sides of the conductors, and , the
cornet section was almost hidden in the
wings by scenery. By reason of this
arrangement, the full tone of the band
could not be heard to the last gradation
of tonal effect. The double bass in the
brass section should have been stronger,
but the trombone section was better.
A finely played number was the grand
fantasia on Verdi's "Alda." It was ren
dered with a swing and rush that were
electric, and mirrored effectively the
warm temperament of the Italian school

Mcallen &
Corner Third and
of music, possibly the greatest and most
enduring in all the world. What seemed
to be the most difficult and "catchy"
number to interpret consisted of the
three dances from German's . "Nell
Gwyn." The airs are familiar to musi
cians, especially the almost Scotch motif
in the third dance. Mr. Dierke handled
this theme effectively, and was also suc
cessful in his presentation of the "Rien
zi" overture. . '
New Music Pleases.
Possibly. the newest and most-talked of
music presented was iJdward Elgar's
military march No. 1, "Pomp and Cir
cumstances." This was played with such
precision and generous attention to ex
pression, that many of the audience
afterward went down Morrison street,
whistling the air. The latter is strik
ingly martial, and musician's of the new
school in England are urging that it be
sung at all National gatherings and that
it be adopted in place of the tune to
"God Savte the King," as the new inter
national song of good will and friendship
of the Anglo-Saxon race. As is well
known, ' the air to "God Save the King"
is German and not English. The two
Herbert and Sousa numbers received the
right swing and accent.
Ben Driscoll was the cornet soloist
and his solos, which were played with
exquisite tone and shading, would have
sounded even better had he stood nearer
the footlights, away from stage ob
structions, to help the sound. Mr. Dris
coll's solo was the familiar and beautiful
"Sanctus" from Gounod's "St. Cecilia,"
and it received an eloquent rendering.
His encore was "The Rosary." H. G.
Knight and Charles Walrath played a
duet for flute and French horn, Tltl's
"Serenade," and their effective flaying
so pleased that a repetition of the selec
tion was given.

BANK ROBBER OWNS UP
FOUR ACCOMPLICES IMPLICATED
IN" STORY TO SHERIFF.
Mother of Boy Who Acted as Chauf
feur When Bank Was Looted
Aids In Capture.
HUTCHINSON, Kan., Feb. 20. J.
Bear, one of the two men in custody
here, charged with being implicated
in the robbery of the Bank of Ford,
Kansas, a week ago is reported by the
sheriff tonight to have confessed.
According to Sheriff Bell, 'Bear im
plicated four other men. One, Earl
Maw, 18 years old, chauffeur, who
drove the robbers to the bank in a
motor car, is in custody and the ar

Bear is rid to have admitted that
he was one of the ring leaders in plan
ning the crime, but says th. t he was
in Oklahoma at the time of the rob
bery. The arrest of Bear and young Maw
was brought about through information
furnished by Mrs. Maw, mother of the
boy. He had' confessed to her, it Is
said. before fleeing to Oklahoma,
where he was arrested.
Mrs. Maw said that her boy told her
that he was forced into the crime after
he had been plied with whisky by
the older men. One of the robbers, he
said, had held a revolver to his head
while the other blew the safe of the
bank. They then forced him to drive
them to a railroad station, where they
boarded a train. Maw, dreading ar
rest, ,fled.
Maw is said to have told his mother

$20,000 PENALTY LIKELY
10,000 Illinois Corporations May
Suffer by Misunderstanding.
SPRINGFIELD. 111., Feb. 20. (Special.)
Ten thousand Illinois corporations may
be liable to a penalty of $2 each because
of a misunderstanding of conditions fol
lowing the Federal corporation tax law.
This, many corporations have failed to
submit to Secretary of State Rose with
the annual reports required by the state.
From letters received at the Secretary's
t-ofHce It is indicated that officers of the
corporations understand that the only
report required of them now is the one
submitted to the collector of internal
revenue. All corporations that fail to
submit their reports by Marcli 1 will be
liable to the penalty .aggregating $30,000.
The report made to the Secretary of
State is merely for statistical purposes
and the one required for the Federal
Government is for the purpose of raising
revenue from the corporations for tha
benefit of the General Government.
