Famous Case Has Shaken
British Home Office and
Premises a Compjete Over
hauling of Nation's Magis
tracy System.
AMOUNT OF THEFT 10 CENTS
Coal Company Prosecuted Twelvc-Ycur-Old
Son of Alfred Hulled;
ami Probably Will Result in mi
Investigation.
(UNITED, MESS Mi BED WIEB.l
London, April 2G. Beginning
. with tho incident of the theft of 10
- cents worth of coal by the 12-year-'.old
son of a Haywards Heath black
smith', what is known as tho "Bul
beck case" has broken Into parlia
ment .shaken the British home of
. , flco to Its foundation, taken up col
. umns of space in newspapers all
over England and promises to'end
.in a complete overhauling of the
"country's system of magistracy.
Alfred Bulbeck is a skilled work-
man Of whom his neighbors, patrons,
clergymen, tho police, and, in fact
everyone who knows anything of
him, speak in the highest terms.
Ten days ago, hfs 12-year-old son,
Charles, picked up a lump of coal
from a heap in the yard of a Hay
wards Heath fuel company and. tried
to carry It away.
The company prosecuted him be
fore the local magistrates, a bench
made up of Philip Seeretan, tho 'for
- - nier high sheriff of Sussex and Ma
jor Farquharsoa and W. O. Ren
shaw, two big landholders in the
neighborhood. It was conclusively
shown that tho boy had never before
been In troublo, that ho was a regu
lar, well behaved and studious at
tendant of the village school, that
bo hnd no use'for the coal and that,
though he admittedly took It in p
spirit of mischief, ho was naughty
but o vicious.
' Tho magistrates themselves
--agreed that he seemed a "good lad."'
' They felt, therefore, they said, that
he must be given a severe lesson to
keep in tho straight path. They ac
cordingly sentenced him ' to six
lashes from the village constable
and to six years in a reformatory, at
tho samo time requesting his father
to pay ?6.50 costs and 60 cents
? weekly toward his son's maintenance
L during the period of his imprlson
Vment. ,; It so happened that the case.which
Is far from unusual in Great Britain,
i was givon rather more than the
I average of publicity. A tremendous
' outcry immediately started. Home
Secretary Winston Churchill was
questioned concerning It from the
floor of the House of Commons. He,
in turn, telegraphed to Haywards
Heath for particulars. Then he toqk
: steps to have the sontpneo modified
or a "full pardon granted. In tho
meantime tho boy waa flogged, how
ever, -and Is still detained in custody
until the homo secretary can set tho
necessary machinery Jn motion for
; his liberation. Now a movement has
been started toward tho obolltlon o
tho administration of Justice In tho
lower courts by benches of laymen
and tie substitution for them of
'regularly qualified lawyers' for such
positions.
The popular view Is Uiattho mem
bers of tho bench which acted inthe
v "Bulbcek case" aro of tho quite com
me type of English country gentle
man whose regard for tho "rights of
itrmtartv" has degenerated into a
kitd of mania. Tho British press
, charges that tbU? mania is danger
T..OUS, Magistrates Seeretan, Far
dqunarson and Renshaw offer no de
fenae except that they think they
dta right.

tion which has been kept secret for

had ordered tho Investigation, that
District Attorney Sims Is In chargs
of it and that he Is going Jp stay In
Chicago until It Is finally decided to
tho satisfaction of the attorney-gen
eral whether Chicago really Is re
sponsible for high prices.
A. J. White, president of the
Board of Trade, said ho thought tha
reports must be a mistake, when he
heard of them. Then ho said:
"Tho people seem to have the idea
that we are a lot of pirates, engaged
In fixing prices to suit ourselves.
We would welcome any publicity
which would correct thls-ldea, which
Is far from the fact,"

Testifies to Circumstances Attending
Illness of Swope Family Says Dr.
Twynian Destroyed All Medicines
Prescribed by Dr. Hyde.
Kansas City, Mo., April 26. Cir
cumstances attondlng the Illness of
members of tho Swopo family were
recounted today on tho witness
stand by Miss Elizabeth -Gordon, u
nurse, In the trial of Dr. B. C.
Hyde.
Tho witness said that Dr. Twy
nian, the aged family physician of
the Swopes, had destroyed all medi
cines prescribed by Dr. Hyde, just
after Margaret Swope had- been at
tacked by convulsions, after taking
medicine given her by Dr. Hyde.
Miss Gordon testified that Mar
garet was 111 with typhoid when Dr.
Hyde gave her the medicine. Soon
afterward she manifested symptoms
similar to those exhibited by Colonel
Swope, for whose murder Dr. Hyd
Is on trial, and by Chrlsman Swope,
the colonel's nephew.
Dr. Twyman arrived a moment af
ter Margaret's first convulsion and
gave her 'an emejlc. The patient re
covered except for a running sore on
the arm when Dr. Hyde made tho in
jection, Kansas City, Mo., April 26. Both
sides in the trial of Dr. B. C. Hyde.
for tho supposed murder by poison
of Colonel Thomas H. ' Swope have
been maintaining "poison farms."
It was known that Drs. Hektoen and
Haines had a small place In Chicago
where frogs, rabbits and gutnea pig j
were raised. As soon as the animal) j
grow to bo of sufficient size they arej
poisoned. The toxics used are
crystals derived from tho contents of J
Colonel Swope's stomach and of the
ground up viscera. Theso crystals
are used by putlng the subject ma-
terla's Into a precipitate solution.
Some of the solutions contain sul
phuric acid. These are boiled and
then allowed to stand. With tho
crystals' formed, tho little animals
have been inoculated. Many of
them died. Their deaths were ac
companied by symptoms that indi
cate tho particular poison which
killed them.
Having been repeatedly refused
any portion of the viscera or stom
ach contents of -Hyde's alleged vic
tims, so It could moke counter anal
ysis the defense, has started a rival
farm to manufacture evidence In
disproof of that of tho experts.

LEAGUE TO
GUARD AGAINST
CORRUPT POLITICS
London, April 20. Through the
prosecution of Miss Louisa Charlotte
Wilson of Haxloy on a charge of In
timidating voters at tho last elec
tion, the Gladstone league, -an or
ganization formed to guard against
franchise manipulation, has sot out
to show how tho English masses'
politics are dictated to them by their
soc'al and financial superiors.
Tho evidence presented at tho pre
liminary hearing which ended in tho
binding ot MIs3 Wilson over to the
Eddlsbury assizes, showed that the
prisoner, a member of ono of tho
most aristocratic families In Che
shire, withdrew her patronage from
Samuel Rowland,, whom she had
previously employed to look after
her hunt'ng dogs becauso ho voted
the Liberal ticket.
''I shall not allow a" ' puppy of
mlno," sho wroto to her friend, Mrs.
Mary Bell of the village ot Tarpor
ley, where Rowland lived, 'with
anyone who votes for Mr. Stanley
and this will exclude from my list
Samuel Rowland." And Mrs. Bell
admitted reading tho lottor to Row
land's wife.
Tho Gladstone league's legal
representatives, who aro pushing tho
case, assort that tho vorypottlness
of tho lssuo Is what makes it dan
gerous because It Is so difficult to
handle. It Is by such means, they
charge, that the rich and powerful
parly dominate English govormental
affairs.
STRUGGLE WITH ALBANIAN IN
SURGENTS IIAS SETTLED
DOWN TO A LONG DRAWN
OUT CAMPAIGN OF TURKISH
WARFARE. ,
Phlllpoppolis, April 26. Turkey's
struggle with the Albanian Insur
gents has Bottled down to what
promises to bo a long drawn out
campaign along tho usual Inhuman
lines of Turkish warfare.
All of Turkey Is In so restless and
discontented a condition that it Is of
the utmost importance to the gov
ernment to kep tho. rest of tho coun
try from knowing that a formidable
fight Is being made anywhere
against Its authority.
Such olaborato precautions are
taken, therefore to Insure secrecy.
that dotalls aro hard to got. Tho
continual pushing of reinforcoments
into the disturbel region Is sufficient
evidence, however, that tho situation
is -serious.
Jhe government's object Is the
complote disarmament of all tho
Albanians and to this end their
campaign is conducted not only
against robols actually In arms but
against overyono In the region sus
pected of sympathy with tho rebel
movement.
Stories leaking out from time to
time of the burning of farmhouses
and the torture or slaughter of
prisoners from whom tho troops aro
socking to extort confessions leave
little doubt that tho officers aro pur
suing tho old methods of tho worst
days of Abdul Hamld.
What makes tho case so gravo for
the present regime Is that probably
four-fifths of the Mohammedan pop
ulation , all over.Turkoy favors a re
turn to the fallen despotism. Bolng
In so great a minority tho Young
Turks feel Uiat they must suppress
every sign of disaffection with the
most drastic thoroughness or they
will soon bo overwhelmed by more
numbers. .
