Dr. Haines Relates Experience
in Searching for Cyanide
With Dr. Vaughn.
DR. HEKTOEN IS ATTACKED
I'atholojrlst Confronted With Book
of Which He Is Joint Author and
Which' llecomniends Proced
ure Other Tlian Followed.
KANSAS CITY, May 2. Dr. Walter
S. Haines, the Chicago toxlcolosist. told
at the Hyde murder trial today the al
leged results of his search for poisons.
Insofar as the toxicologist's personal
investigations were concerned, he ad
mitted they had resulted in finding but
little dangerous drups. With but one ex
ception, said Dr. Haines, he found cyan
ide only when collaborating with Dr.
Victor C. Vaughn, of Ann Arbor, Mich.
In a part of the stomach of Colonel
Thomaa H. Swojie. testified Dr. Hatnes.
he found two hundreths of a grain of
strychnine. The physician, said a small
trace of the same drag was located in
the brain. With the aid of Dr. Vaughn,
Dr. Haines testified, he discovered some
cyanide in the stomach.
I'oisou in Chrisman Swope.
Only slight traces of strychnine were
asserted by Dr. Haines to have been
found by him in the stomach and liver
of Chrisman Swope. It was the belief
of himself and Dr. Vaughn, said the wit
ness, that there were signs of cyanide
in their test of the stomach, but they
were unable to locate definitely any of
this drug.
Dr. Haines eald that both himself and
Dr. Vaughn found cyanide in the capsules
which Dr. Hyde is alleged to have thrown
away. The stains on the envelopes in
' which the capsules were delivered to
him also responded to the ' cyanide, test,
eald the witness.
Strychnia was found in the ejecta of
Miss Margaret Swope both by himself
and Dr. Vaughn, said Dr. Haines.
Dr. Heck toe n Under Fire.
Armed with scores of medical text
hooks. Attorney Walsh today resumed
his cross-examination of Dr. Dudwig
Hektoen. Progress was slow and
wrangles between attorneys frequent.
Mr. Walsh attacked Dr. Hektoen-a
testimony in part with a textbook
which the pathologist collaborated in
writing. Among the things done in the
Autopsy on Colonel Swope, and advised
against by Dr. Hektoen in the . book,
were:
Hot water was used in thawing out
the body. The brain was taken out
while frozen hard. The brain was sev
ered at ttie base without the use of a
knife. The brain was cracked in the
course of removal.
Dr. Hektoen's book was urgent in its
warning- regarding thawing- out a body
with water, and the law of Germany
prohibiting such action was cited by
the textbook.
Only the accidental severing of the
base of the brain prevented his using
a knife, said the witness. The con
tents of the bladder were thrown away.
The text said traces of strychnine were
readily found in urine.
On direct examination, the witness
said that but one of Chrisman Swope's
lungs was congested. Today he said
both were affected.
By next Wednesday night Prosecutor
C'onkling believes all the evidence of the
state agalnot Dr. B. C. Hyde will be
before the Jury.
Mrs. Swope, who is financing, in the
main, the prosecution of Dr. Hyde, will
be the last State's witness. Her testi
mony, it is thought, will be reached
Wednesday. Interest now centers in
her appearance on the stand, as it is
believed her story will be full of hu
man interest. When Mrs. Swope gave
her deposition recently in a civil suit
brought by the accused physician, she
refused to confine herself to answering
the questions asked her.

X. Tarins Cuming to Portland.
The Portland-Vancouver train' service
which the Great Northern will naugurate
will consist of three trains each way
daily between this city and British Co
lumbia points. "While the time card lias
not bjfen fully arranged, says President
Hill, roughly speaking there will be a
morning, noon and night train out of
Portland for the northern cities. It will
go into effect May IS.
The new transcontinental service wfft
he a solid limited train equal In appoint
ments to the Oriental Limited now run
ning between Puget Sound and Chicago.
"It is not certain that we shall have
the new equipment for the through train
ready for use by May 15," said President
Hill last night, "'but I have given in
structions that the service at that time
any way. When the new equipment is in
use, the Great Northern will have three
trains daily each way over the Rocky
Mountains that will be the equal of the
Twentieth Century limited, or better.
The through Great Northern train will
reach Portland from Spokane over the
Jsorth Bank route, giving the first solid
through service over that line.

There was quite a gathering in the
Portalnd Hotel lobby of engineers, con
tractors and railway officials to greet
the Hill party last night. At the train

iNorth Bank, John P. Stevens, president
of the Oregon Trunk Line and A. D.

vice-president of the Northern Pacific; L.
C. Oilman, generaj Western counsel for
the Great Northern, and Harry Blakely,

Exploiting Car in Town.
For the purpose of meeting Louis W.
W. Hill in this city, the special exhibit
car of the Great Northern, which has
been exploiting the State of Washing
ton, was called in from "Worcester. Mass.,
am! arrived in Portland yesterday.
With this oar are E. H. Moot, district
passenger agent of th Great Northern
at Chicago; F. T. Holmes, M. M. Hub
bard, and L. G. Stlne, traveling passen
ger agents, and several assistants'.
The working force on this car is to be
gin e.t once the collecting of exhibits and
Information concerning Oregon, under &
general plan to be outlined by L. W. Hill.
The work will take the men throughout
Central Oregon, and Into Harney and
Lake Counties, as well as Crook and
Klamath. Crater Lake as a scenic at
traction is to be exploited in connecetion
with the presentation of attractions for
bomeseekers. In connection with thg
work. Mr. Hill will go to Salem for the
purpose of Interesting state officials in
the settlement of the interior.
Increase Oregon Population.
"The work is not going to be the
mere advertising of a railroad' said
Mr. Hill, last night. It will be designed
to. increase the population of Interior
Oregon, reclaim its vacant lands and
in fact be state wide in its purposes
and results.
"There is not time tonight to tell
you all of our plans for exploiting
Oregon. It would require hours to give
all the details."
In connection with the exploitation
work Mr. Hill brought to Portland with
him a great number of buttons adver
tising Central Oregon. In the center
of this button a comfortable home is
depicted over which floats an Ameri
can flag in colors. Around the rim of
the button is printed the inscription,
NOVELIST AND ERRING WIFE TO
Mi
- V
...
"Free Homes in Central Oregon, and
over the flag are the words, "Under
the Stars and Stripes. Ask Leedy,
is printed under the picture of the
home, and the Great Northern label is
also carried.
The wording of the Inscription on
the button is taken to mean that the
Great Northern is preparing to combat
the emigration of Americans to Cana
dian Pacific territory by exploiting the
offerings of unlimited vacant lands in
Central Oregon. "Free Homes Under
the Stars and Stripes" will be the slo
gan of the railroad.
MORE TERMINALS ARE NEEDED
Move Is to Divert Traffic From
Populous Centers.
TACOMA, May 2. J. J. Hill and
party spent the day in Tacoma, in
specting the Great Northern Coast ter
minals and the work on the million
dollar depot being built by the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific jointly.
They met a number of prominent busi
ness men at lunch. Late this afternoon
the party left in Hill's private car for
Portland.
THr. Hill's party includes President
Howard Elliott of the Northern Pacific.
George F. Baker and Charles F. Steele,
directors of the Northern Pacific; Louis
W. Hill, president of the Great North
ern; George T. Slade, third vice-president
of the Northern Pacific and Chief En
gineer A. G. Hoagland of the Great
Northern.
"The Weet has every reason to be
prosperous," said Mr. Hill. "Crop condi
tions are good and if they develop ac
cording to present indications another
year of great prosperity will follow.
"The problem -which faces the railroads
of the future is not the extension of
lines. There are enough roads now to
take care of the business in their re
spective territories. The difficulty is to
provide enough terminal facilities. It has
not yet presented itself so forcibly in the
West, but it is fast becoming alarming
in the East, as in Chicago, for example,
such conditions mean simply that the
railroads will have to avoid the cities.
They will have to find some way of
diverting traffic from the centers of
population. It will change, business in
many ways, thus altering lines of de
velopment. The Great Northern will not extend
its Oregon lines into California, There is,
however, much construction work to be
done over the entire system, from Min
nesota west. A large amount of It is
required in the Cascades. Many snow-
sheds will have to be built, the tracks
moved back and everything possible
done to prevent the possibility of such
accidents as that at Wellington.
"Should the Dixon amendment pass, it
would mean less transcontinental freight
and higher rates. The roads will not
meet water rates and would be forced
to raise the tariffs to the East and to
intermediate points to insure adequate
earnings'."
Said President Elliott of the North
ern Pacific;
"We are out inspecting the lines and
will return from Portland over the North
Bank and Northern Pacific. Among other
things wo will consider double-tracking
of the Northern Pacific main line across
the Cascades to take care of the greatly
Increasing volume of business. We are
making preparations for construction of
the Narrows Line via Tenino, and will
get work under way as Boon as pos
sible."

and Her New Husband.
ACTS AS FAIRY GODFATHER
After Obtaining Decree of Divorce,
Busies Himself fn Smoothing
Way for Marriage of Mrs.
-Barrie to Her Affinity.
NEW YORK, May 2. (Special.) The
romance of John Ruskin, his wife and
Sir John Millais. one of the wonder
stories of real life in which Ruskin
gave his wife to Millais, his friend, and
still held that friendship dear, has been
outdone by James M. Barrle, the autlfor
WHOM HE PRESENTS HIS HOME
and playwright, according to a story
which has just come here from London.
Mr. Barrie, with all his fantasy, could
not have conceived a more fantastic
situation than that in which he fig
ures today.
After the decree of divorce which he
sought from his wife after he had dis
covered her infatuation for Gilbert
Cannon, a young dramatic critic, had
been made absolute, came the strange
and unusual climax.
Barrie had entreated his wife to re
turn to him, offering any terms she
might demand, but Mrs. Barrie would
not listen to him. Then he sued and
obtained a decree. Even after that he
found his great love for his wife as
strong as ever, and so he again made
overtures for a reconciliation, holding
out the most extravagant Inducements.
They were rejected.
Barrie as Fairy Godfather.
With an absolute decree of divorce in
his possession, the attitude of Barrie
toward his wife and the young man
who had won her -from him underwent
a complete change, and he assumed the
role of a fairy godfather to the couple.
Much to the surprise of his friends,
whfc believed that the final separation
from Mrs. Barrie would find him a
morose and heart-broken man, he has
taken the attitude of generous patron
of his wife and young Cannon. He
seems to be eagerly seeking the crumbs
of happiness which may fall to him by
aiding the couple to a speedy wedding
and giving them a fair start in life
in the hope that he may count them
friends and have the privilege of visit
ing them and enjoying their compan
ionship.
Just after the divorce decree' became
absolute, Barrie voluntarily turned
over to his former wife the deed to a
beautiful home at Farnham and settled
Income of ?i50 a year on her for
life. He also had made arrangements
to facilitate the marriage of Cannon
and Mrs. Barrie, and practically will
act as the best man at the wedding.
Friendship Shamefully Abused.
Recently Cannon and Mrs. Barrie
were living in separate apartments in
the same house. On the advice of John
Galesworthy, young Cannon moved to
another house. Galesworthy is a great
stickler for good form, and said It
looked bad for the two persons, whose
names had been associated in the di
vorce proceedings, to be neighbors at
such a time.
Barrie's suit for divorce was a sur
prise to all but the intimate friends of
the author of so many tender stories
and plays, and attracted worM-wide
attention. Universal sympathy was ex
pressed for Barrie. who really began
the divorce proceedings at the earnest
solicitations of his wife.

SECRETARY.
By Vote of 11 to 6, Body- Adopts
Resolution Which Will Be
Sent to Washington.
SEATTLE, Wash., May 2. The intro
duction of a resolution Indorsing Sec
retary of the Interior R. A. Ballinger
and denouncing his critics as "enemies
of good government and assassins of
character," provoked a sharp contest in
the City Council tonight. The resolu
tion finally was adopted hy a vote of
H to 6, one member being absent.
A copy of the resolution will be sent
to the Ballinger-Pinchot investigating
committee. The resolution was intro
duced by Councilman Frank P. Mullen,
who served in the Council during Mr.
Ballinger's term as Mayor six years
ago. Several other members of the
body were also in office at that time.
Besides indorsing Mr. Ballinger and
denouncing his critics, the resolution
refers to the records made by him
while Mayor of Seattle and Judge of
the Superior Court.
"In these positions," the resolution
says, "he established a record for rigid
law enforcement and pToved himself an
official of the highest character."
Several members of the Council ob
jected to the resolution on the ground
that it was improper for the City Coun
cil to participate in an affair which
was a matter of National politics.
Others objected to the reference to Mr.
Ballinger's critics as too harsh. . One
Councilman who first voted for the res
olution changed his vote when his at
tention was directed to this section.
