lie said that lie was glad to be *
here.
"I have just been dwn to the city
auditorium," said Dr. Homer T. Wil-
son, who lectures at the Chautauqua
tonight, "and 1 find it the most beau-
tiful and most excellently arranged
building of its kind, without excep-
tion, that I have seen in all my trav-
els over the country from coast to
coast. You can say for me that
Shawnee has something in the way of
a city auditorium that no other city
has, and tha tyou have also a most
delightful city here."
Dr. Wilson is one of the most cele-
brated lecturers on the Chautauqua
platform today. He has for years
made a study of boys and their needs, |
and his lecture this evening, "Sparks
from the Anvil," is especially for the
boys. "Without egotism," said I)r.
Wilson to the News this morning, "I
can say this lecture is my best. It
is the result of my life's work, and
represents whatever knowledge 1 may
have gained from years of study and
investigation."
In order that as many people as
possible may enjoy the attractions of
the Chautauqua, the price has been
put at 25c for adults, and 10c for
children under 15 years. There is so
much room in the auditorium, that it
appears to the committee to be a
shame that more people can not take
advantage of the excellent attractions
which are positively the best that can
be secured. The attendance at the
Chautauqua is large, and the success
of the enterprise is assured, but the
enormous seating capacity of the city
auditorium influences the committee
to make a special effort to secure an
even larger attendance. They would
gladly throw the doors open for free
admission were it not for the running
expenses that have to be paid.
Dr. Wilson this morning paid a high
tribute to Everett Kemp, the humorist
and monologuist, who appears this
afternoon and will furnish the pre-
lude for the lecture tonight "Mr
Kemp is king of the platform, undis-
puted,' said Dr. Wilson. "He is be
yond question the best in his lien
before the American people today."
Thursday afternoon, when the Mor
phets entertain, all children will be
admitted free. The Morphets are
magiclanB who give a splendid per
formance, and every school child in
the city should be there.

JUDGE LATSHAW OVERRULES
MOTION OF DEFENSE IN FA-
MOUS CASE.
Notice of Apeal to the Supreme
Conrt—Hyde Is Denied Release
on Bail.
National News Association.
Kansas City, Mo., June 29.—Judge
Latshaw of the criminal court, before
whom Dr. Hyde was tried and con-
victed of poisoning Col. Swope, today
overruled the motion of the defense
for a new trial. Hyde's attorneys at
once filed a motion for an appeal to
the supreme court. Latshaw refused
to grant Dr. Hyde ball pending the
appeal.
The judge gave a long and carefully
prepared summary of his reasons for
refusing a new rial. He declares that
the defendant was defended by learn-
ed counsel before a fair and unpre-
judiced jury, that his rights were
safeguarded in the liberal Instructions
to the jury, and that any questionable
point was decided in the defendant's
favor. He was given, the court holds,
the fullest and fairest opportunity to
prepare his defense and there is
nothing in the record to show that
the Jury was influenced. For all these
reasons he refuses a new trial.
There was a large crowd in the
court room to hear the decision.

STATISTICIAN ENTERS A PLEA OF

National News Association.
Chicago, 111., June 29. — After
wrangling a hundred and fifteen
hours, twelve exhausted jurors told
Judge McSurley that it was impossi-
ble for them to agree upon a verdict
in the Browne bribery case. Fore-
man Mueller said that there was no
possibility of a verdict being reach-
ed, and the jury was discharged.
Browne and White were both pres-
ent in the court room, and though a
disagreement was expected, both were
nervous. Browne and his counsel say
that he can never be convicted.
Counsel for the state say that the
second trial will be rushed through.
Juror Spare, who was charged with
being the man who sold out, asserted
that the jury stood eight to four
"practically from the first," and at
one time favored acquittal.
Guthrie, Okla.. June 29.—The state
capital removal case did not come up
in the Logan county district court
yesterday as set, but went over until
Thursday on account of the fact that
Attorney General West, who Is pros
ecuting the Waters Pierce suit at

associated with the attorney general
in the capital removal litigation, C
G. Jones, Oklahoma City campaign
manager, and other Oklahoma City
people, came up to attend the district
court.

moval situation were meagre. Attor

ed: "Your telegram with reference to

A telegram was also received from

which it was stated that Seuator
Gore had gone to Iowa to fill a num-
ber of lecture dates. Attorney Gen-
eral West had wired Senator Gore to
assist him in getting a hearing be
