April 2T.-Theodore Roosevelt for the United States Senate as successor to Chauncey M. Depew. This Is the way the political prophets and wiseacres in Washington have the situ ation in New York state figured out to day. They arrived at the conclusion from many different viewpoints and there is apparently a consensus of opinion that the suggestion offers a solution to a mul titude of problems confronting the Re publican party, not only in the Empire State, but in the Nation at large. In the general discussion of the situa tion growing out of the appointment of Governor Hughes to the Supreme Court bench, it already has been agreed that bis retirement from politics leaves Colonel Roosevelt as the probable dictator of the party in New York State. The party leaders in "Washington realize this and they believe Mr. Roosevelt will come to realize the same thing that the exigencies in. New York demand a strong factor in the race this Fall if the Repub licans are to gain success at the polls. With Roosevelt as candidate for the Senate, It is predicted that the Repub lican part' would easily retain control of the Legislature and that the Roosevelt ersonallty in the campaign would bring success to the entire state ticket. RAILROAD LAND . DISPUTED Question of Northern Pacific Termi nal Cocs to High Court. WASHINGTON, April 27. A bitter con troversy over the attitude of the Interior liepartment toward the land grants to the Northern Pacific Railroad Company reached a climax today when the ques tion was laid before the Supreme Court of the United States for decision. Individual land claimants in Minnesota contend that the department lias shown unjustified favors to the Northern Paciflo Railway Company as successor to the Northern Pacific Railroad. The Northern Pacific Railway Com pany claims title to one parcel and Fred erick Weyerhauser and John A. Humbird to two others by reason of the privilege given to the Northern Pacific Railroad Company to select land within a 40-mile limit of its road through Minnesota In opposition, Fred Wass claims one parcel under the homestead law and H. H. Hoyt and Charles D. Campbell claim the others under the timber and stone act. The controversy grows out of the ques tion whether the railroad terminated at IulMtli, Minn., or Ashland, Wis. the polar ice for seven years and ex pects to drift by the r-ole. The voyage will be undertaken for the purpose of scientific Investigation. With a crew of 18 fellow country men, Amundsen says he will start from this city early next year in the Fram. a sturdy little craft used by Nansen in his "Farthest North" exploration. The Fram will be fitted out in San Fran cisco after being brought around Cape Horn next Winter. The cost of the out fit, it is estimated, will be close to $100,000. The itinerary of the polar course will be through the Bering Straits to the northeast of the New Siberian Isl ands, where the explorer will permit the Fram to "freeze in." The plan is then to drift with the ice floes and currents. Winter and Summer, for about seven years. Amundsen writes that he has care fully estimated the results and believes that he will be carried past the .Hole and that, eventually, using the auxil iary gasoline power of the Fram as may be needed, the ship will emerge on the Eastern coast of Greenland. . The chief object of this expedition is to study the Currents, temperature and sea life of the northern region. In struments will be used that will en able the explorer to record the tem perature of the ocean three miles be low the surface. Amundsen states that he is not especially interested in reach ing the geographical pole and plans to go there only because the Pole lies in his path of travel. SOIL VALUE IS WASTED SECRETARY WILSON' tUGES CONSERVATION' BY FARMERS. Problem of Cost of Living Must Be Solved by Farmers East Is Worked Out. NEW YORK. April 27. Causes that lend to increase the high cost of living and proper conservation of the soil as the remedy for the Increase were subject matters of-an address today by Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson before the New York Produce Exchange. "We cannot afford to buy food from foreign countries." he said, "and we must see to it that our Western farms pro duce enough, not only for home consump tlon, but also to sell abroad and square up the balance of trade." Mr. Wilson said in part: "The cost of living calls for a careful Inquiry into the causes that have oper ated to bring about conditions new to us as a people. We have had great abun dance of food and prices that were lower than most other countries with which we compete in commerce and manufactur ing. Compensation for skill and labor has been comparatively high In our coun try, but increased cost of living has be come a disturbing factor that cannot be adjusted at present to the satisfaction of those concerned. "The major part of our people in the East are being fed from the Mississippi Valley and the states of the South draw" much from the same source. I am well satisfied that the soils of that valley are being subjected gradually to the same un wise treatment that so seriously destroyed the soils east of the Alleghenies and south of the Ohio."

Details of Captain Roald Amundsen's plans to reach the North Pole are contained In letters from the Norse Explorer to Hen ry Lund, Norwegian consul here. Amundsen, who first succeeded in bringing a ship through the Northwest passage, is preparing to lock, himself lu 6waying dangerously as they met the varying air currents, but still the aero planists held their course until ap proaching darkness compelled them to seek a safe descent. Towards 8 o'clock streams of automo biles and. other vehicles brought- hun dreds of persons to the outskirts of Lichfield. Half frozen and almost ex hausted by his efforts, Paulhan safely descended in a field close to the Trent Railroad station, amid frantic cheers of 8000 persons. Speaking of his flight, he said : "I came down because It was too cold to trust myself longer In the machine. It seemed too dangerous. My hands were benumbed, and the wind was very gusty, and I was hardly able to descend without an accident . "It is strange that I should alight at almost the same place that White descended on his first trip. I did not know this was Lichfield, although I wad a hazy Idea." Paulhan went to a hotel and imme diately retired to sleep, asking to be called at 2:30 A. Ml, and ordering breakfast for 3 o'clock. Almost at the same hour, v hite came down within sight of Northamp ton, where he sought vainly in the gathering darkness for a safe landing place. This he was unable to find, and he turned back, making a descent In a grass field, where a small crowd soon assembled. White said: "It was too dark to continue the flight In safety I suffered from the intense cold, and was not quite sure of my location." When told of Paulhan's flight, he ex claimed:' "Good. It was plucky to get so far. I know what a strain It is." White's wire followed by train, and soon Joined him at the hotel. Neither of them seemed much concerned at the possibility of the French aviator's reaching Manchester first. Paulhan had about Ij.. miles to his credit in the 186-mile contest, while White had only E0. Each traveled at a rate of 35 to 40 miles an hour. The race caused tremendous .excite ment in London. 'Bulletins of Its progress were posted In public places and little else was talked of, the International character of the race adding great to the Interest. "White started from Northampton at 2:30 A- M. and pasf?d Rugby at 3:30 o'clock- His machine was In perfect order, as he had given orders that every thing ohould be in readiness at mid night. After Inquiring anxlounly what time dawn would break and being In formed at 8 o'clock, he said: "I must steal a march on Paulhan at all hazards. I don't mind starting in the darkness if I have light to descend by." Paulhan re-ascended at 4:09 and passed Stafford at 4:40 A. M., about 45 miles from Manchester. Paulhan's magnificent flight of 117 miles without descending in two hours and 50 minutes compares favorably with his flight on April 18 from Orleans to Arcls sur Anbe, a distance of 118 miles, In three and one-half hours. The following table shows the progress of the race: Paulhan Bcndon, start .6:30 T. M. ; (Bletchloy, 47 miles, 6:27 P. M.; Rende, BS miles, 6:40 P. M. ; Rugby, 85 miles, 7:21 P.

Big Insurance Companies Fear Gigantic Conspiracy Laid Against Them. DEATH CAUSES PROBE Head of Chicago Furniture Company Is Insured for $500,00-0; Then Is Killed Policies Unpaid Pending Investigation. CHICAGO, April 27. (Special.) An at tempt to perpetrate a gigantic fraud by suicide is feared by five of the biggest insurance companies in the United States, with offices in Chicago. They started an Investigation todav into the mysterious death Monday night or josepn ieimel. head of the National Parlor Furniture Company. Deimel, whose body was buried Mon day, was killed by a Rock Island train at Blue Island as he attempted to board it to return to Chicago. The dead man. who lived at S141 Calumet avenue, had taken out Insurance on his life amounting to more than J300.000 within the last few months. Insurance Olticials Suspicious. Insurance officials suspect that he com mitted suicide and have decided to with hold payment of the policies on his life until an inquiry can be made. What tlie Insurance men regard as a suspicious circumstance is the fact that the premiums on large policies, recently Issued, were paid for by JDeimel by prom issory notes and none of these notes has yet fallen due. He tried to secure even more insurance but it had been refused him. On Tuesday, a Coroner's inquest was held on the case and a verdict returned that Deimel had died of shock following a railroad accident. More Evidence May Reverse Case. Despite the decision of the Coroner's jury the insurance companies are insist ing that there is good reason to suspect suicide. The officials say that they have de veloped evidence that did not come to the attention of the Coroner. Relatives tonight stoutly scouted the suicide theory. It was admitted by the Insurance agents that the claims probably would be paid without contest. DR. HYDE IS " IN CELL (Continued from First Pagf.) the court can prevent," answered Judge Latshaw. Sale of Poison Related. Four people testified today that in Sep tember and Decefnber of last year Dr. Hyde purchased at Hugo Brecklein's drugstore here 5-grain capsules of cyan ide of potassium. When warned against using the poison and leaving the drug about his premises, Dr. Hyde said he wanted to kill dogs with it, it was testi fied. Never in his 23 years as a druggist had he ever before sold the poison in this form, said Mr. Brecklein. Dr. "W. T. Stewart told his story today regarding Dr. Hyde obtaining typhoid and "pus" germs from him last Novem ber 10. The witness asserted he went to Dr. Hyde's office after the typhoid epi demic had started in the Swope home and found some of the germs missing. Dr. Hyde told him later, he said, that he had not found time to work with the germs. Druggist's Books Shown. The story of Dr. Hyde's alleged pur chase of poison entered actively into the trial this morning when Miss Ada Hoover, a bookkeeper and pharmacist employed by Brecklin, took the witness stand. She brought with her the books in which were Hyde's account. Brecklein's pharmacy was burned last December, but the books were stored in a safe and were not injured. The state said, in Its opening statement, it would show Dr. Hyde purchased cyanide of po tassium at the drugstore several times last Fall. Miss Hoover was questioned only. re garding Dr. Hyde's alleged purchases of culture media and Holliden digestive tablets during November, 1909. The books showed that during this month the physician bought 207 culture media. It is in this media that typhoid germs develop. Several of Dr. Hyde's accounts were offered in .evidence and passed without questioning the witness about them. Fred W. Sulten, a druggist of St. Louis, testified that coctlna pills were heart stimulants, but contained no strychnine. The pills were In use in the Swope house. Lazier Williams, a clerk at the Breck lein store, testified to an alleged pur chase of six 5-graln capsules of cyanide of potassium by Dr. Hyde on December 5. The order, said Williams, was first telephoned to the store, and Mr. Breck lein, suspecting error, ordered the clerk to telephone Dr. Hyde and see if it was correct. Clerk Filled Hyde's Order. "I called Dr. Hyde and asked him if he ordered the cyanide," said Williams. "He answered he had. I inquired what he- wanted to do with it. He said he de sired to kill dogs." "Did you then fill the order V asked Prosecutor Conkling. "I did." "Did you ever before eell cyanide of potassium to a physician?" queried Mr. Conkling. "Never," was the reply. "Did you ever sell it in capsule form to anybody but Dr. Hyde?" "No, sir." Mr. Williams said the customary meth od of selling the poison was in a solu tion form. In which photographers use it. Attorney Walsh asked but one question on cross examination if the poison was ever sold lri lump form. The witness said It waB not. John Massman, another of Brecklein's clerks, was next called. Mr. Massman merely corroborated the sale of cyaniae of potassium to Dr. Hyde on September 13. Hugo Brecklein was the next wit ness. Dr. Hyde, said Mr. Brecklein, called at the store for the capsules on Decem ber 6, and the following conversation followed between them: "I told him," said Mr. Brecklein, "that he knew the poisonous nature of the drug, and it was very dangerous to have around the house. Someone, I told him. mightmistake the capsules for some other "kind and take them, which would result' in death. I told him I would give htm the poison only with the understanding that he handle It himself and destroy the part of it he did not use. "Dr. Hyde told me he wanted to kill some dogs which had bothered him considerably." "Did he mention that he wanted to kill bugs or cockroaches in his office?" asked Mr. Conkling. "He did not." Mr. Brecklein said in the 23 years he had been a druggist he never had sold cyanide for medicinal purposes, and never before in capsule form. Burglars Work in Plain Sight. NEW YORK. April 27.
