IEMT YORK -WOMEN ARE OUT WITH A
HOT ROAST OF COLONEL ROOSEVELT
Colonol Theodore Roosevelt, in a recent article, dec lured that
from tho standpoint of tlio race, tho average three-child ,mar
rngo Is a sterile marriage.
Hoosovolt says:
"When quantity falls off, thanks to wilful sterility, tho quality
will go down, too.
"The race cannot go ahead; It will not ovon hoop its numbers,
if thero ate less than four children to tho family.
"In most southern states there is a purer and higher standard of
conduct in the matter. Tlio birth rate has jot not material
ly fallen off.
."Throughout tho north and wost there line been tho game
shrinkage as In Canada, Australia and Great Britain."
NKW YORK, April 11. Proml-1

than four children should bo consid

"Roosevolt Is a fool and a four
flusher," says Mrs. Marcla Townsond,
troasuror of tho Womon's Pollalcal
I'liion. "Let him arrange for his own
offspring, but for hoavon's sako lo.
1.1 ni shut up about tho rest of tlio

''.'ords to describe his ogrogioiu
Idiocy they would not bo printed."
Mrs. Arthur Fish said:
"Imagluo a woman going through
all tho unnecessary suffering of
childbirth Just to do sorvlce to tho
state! Why should she? What hag tho
state ever done for her? It does not
even protect tho children she has
produced."
Mrs. Raymond Hrown, president of

SWOPE MURDER
Opinion Rendered by Court is 10,000
Words in Length Reversal uf
Lower Court is Based on Many
Errors.
JHFFI3RSON CITY, Mo., April 11.
Tho state supremo court today re
versed the trial court's conviction ot
Dr. U. C. Hydo for tho Swopo mur
der and remanded tho enso for re
trial. Tho opinion which grants Dr. Hydo
a now trial Is 10,000 words In length.
The rovorsal of tho lower court Is
based on many errors, including tho
admission of testimony as to tho
deaths of members of tho Swopo fam
ily other than Colonol Thomns II.
Swopo, for whoso alleged poisoning
ho wns convicted, of tho Illness of
others from typhoid; of ovldonco that
cyauldo caused Swopo's death when
symptoms showed that tho death of
Christian Swopo occurrod with prac
tically tho samo symptoms, though
thero was no ovldonco that cyanide
had boon given Chrlsman Swope, and
becauso of tho revocation of Hyde's
bond during tho progress of his trial.
Tho opinion adds:
"Regarding tho question as to
whether there was substantial ovl
donco that tho defendant poisoned
Chrlsman Swope, wo aro constrained
;to hold that tho ovldonco would not
autjiorko tho submission of that ques
tion to a Jury."
KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 11.
Informed today (Jint tho supremo
court had ordered a new trial of tho
ease in which bo was convicted of
having poisoned Colonel Swope, 11 r.
Hyde expressed disappointment that
he was not freed.
"Tho conviction should havo been
reversed outright," Hiiid Hyde. "I
have so far been sustained by tho
kindness of countless friends who bo
lievcd in my innocence as well as by
the idea that under out system of
laws, while mistakes by courts and
juries may temporarily intervene, in
tho end justice is sure to prevail. 1
look forward with confidence to full
acquittal on my next trial. I havo
learned that a man can stand any
thing with a wife like mine believing
in and sustaining him."
Mrs. Hyde said: "1 know tho law
will give in v husband back to me, not
because I love him or becauso he
loves me, but because ho is innocent."
