Walsh' Dr. Hyde's attorney. Mr. Paxton was giving his deposition in the slanged suit for $100,000 brought against him by Dr. Hyde. Although it -was kne^vn that the death of Chrisman Swope was being Investigated, the acknowledgment of Dr. Paxton that an examination of the contents of the stomach of Mlqs I Swope had been made came as a sur prise- She is a pretty niece of the lata CaL Thomas H. Swope... On De cember 1st she was stricken with ty phoid fever and Dr. Hyde cared for her. She later recovered. "Polsbn was flund In marked quantities In the contents of Miss 1 Swope's stomach by Dr. Victor Vaughn," said Mr. Paxton.

The story of the stormy scene In the Swof>e homestead on December i 18, the day whetr the nursee threat ened to leave If Dr. Hyde was not dismissed and another physician o'b tained to care for the sick members of the family, was detailed by Mr. Paxton. He told o?->tre-?A?ue sus picions of the nurses whlcn^even tually led up to the open break be tween them and Mrs. Logan H. Swope. It appeared that Miss Houle han was tho leader In the Insurrec tion.

NejKjCork, Feb. 14. ? "If the en- 1 forcement of the law Is not consistent I with the present cmthod of carrying I on busings, then it doss not speak ! well for tnh present methods' Of con ducting business, and they must be changed to conform to the law." This was President Raft's answer to Wall street and its err of "panic." It was made to a cheering audience of hundreds of prominent Republic ans gathered Saturday at tb^ annual Lincoln day dinner of ttaib Republican club of this city, held atjthe Waldorf Astoria. Gov. Hughes, shared the honors of the evening with the Presi dent. / ; Mr. Taft adhered to his purpose of discussing platform pledges and how they should be kept. It, was at this conclusion of a detailed argument as to how the Republican party Is re deeming Its pledges thal^ he came to a discussion of the anti-mist law and Wall street, on which hts utterances had been awaited with the greatest Interest. The President declared that the administration would not "fool ishly run amuck In business, and de stroy values - and* confidence just lor. the pleasure of doing so." Most Kn force the Law. "No one," he -continued, "has a motive as strong as the administra tion in power to enltlvate and strengthen business confidence and prosperity. "But there was no promise on the part of the Republican party to change the anti-trust law. except to strengthen It. Of course, the govern ment at Washington can be counted on to enforce the law in the way best cUcoiated to iUffVlli ? Mil uctKXror public confidence In business, but that It must enforce the law goes without saying." ^President Taft did not hesitate to discuss the attacks that have been made upon the administration and the party, or the danger to future success In the insurgent movement and other dissensions. Republicans who feared defeat at the polls In No vember, he declared, however, should take courage from the demoralized condition of their opponents, the Democrats. "It was Grant." said the Presi dent, amid a whirlwind of laughter, who banished his own f<?ar in battle by thinking how much more afraid the enemy was." Kr^> Toward Lower Tariff*. Mr. Taft agjatft came to the defense of the Payne-Aldrlch tariff bill. He did not hesitate, he said, to repeat th^t It substanttfilly complied with the party pledge for tariff rvelslon, and that, through this bill, the party had "set itself strongly in the right direction, toward lower tariffs" ORCHESTRA M.

Furthermore, Champ Clark, minority leader of the House of Representatives. Is to be his loading supporter and advocate. Both of the above facts cropped out today because of a visit Mr. Fran cis Is paying to the capital. The ex cuse for that visit Is the meeting of the Southern Commercial Congress, which Is gathered here to talk over plans for the creation of the so-called Southern temple here, ps a sort of connecting link between the South and New York, commercially speak ing. The' real reason of the Mlssourlans presence, however, la to Bound out Democratic members of Congress upon his prospective candidacy for tho nomination that Has been monop olized by William Jennings Bryan of recent years, and his candidacy for the senate In Missouri is only a part and parcel of his higher ambition. The. form?r ?pv?rnQr ot _Mlssourl and former secretary of the interior under Presi^e^t Cleveland. has a real!/ better *tojt?u?e for his presence than the Commercial Con gress. That weeond reason Is the rivers and harbors bill, which was re ported to the house and will come up for debate today. Mr. Francis is h?re to urge the enactment of that bill and to help work through both thft house and Senate the particular appropriations for the Improvement of the Mississippi river and which "make provision for the ultimate con struction of the lakes to the gulf deep waterway.
