^ECOND HEARING OF DR. B.
HYDE. CHARGED WITH MLR
DER, INTERRUPTED.
KANSAS CITY. Mo., pec. 11.—A mis-
trial iu lb* second hfeaiiug of Dr. K.
Clarke Hyde, charged with' the killing of
Col. Thomas H. Swope, appears probable
tonight.
Mude desperate by the sight of two of
his children, from whom he had been
separated for six weeks. In the courtroom
last Saturday. Harry Wnldron, one of the
Jurors, escaped from the jury at hotel
quarters early today. While a guard slept,
Waldron pried open a nailed transom,
crawled through the opening, tip toed to
a fire escape and leaded fifteen foot to
freedom. The entire city police force ana
a dozen deputies from the county mar-
shal's office have searcher! in yaln for
him since his absence was noted next
daybreak..
If Waldron is not found by tomorrow
night the eleven reptainlng jurors will
be discharged. Judge Porterffeld said to
day. Or if the missing man is found and
he cannot prove that he has not discussed 1
\he case during his absence, the same ac-
tion will be taken. Should he return In
good health and swears that ho has men
tioned the. trial to no one. and the court
Is satisfied with bis story, the trial will
proceed.
Fear that Waldron has killed himself
Is crowing Tie was in a highly agitated
state when las! seen on Sunday nlahf. a*
indeed, ho had lieen almost every day
since has was chosen a Juror, tie ob-
jected to serving when he was first s^
lected, saying hi* dairy interests would
not permit his absence. Later he was
taken 111 and begged plteously for his
wife and children. After that his wife
wrote him daily and he seemed better con-
tented.
Saturday his children went Into the
courtroom to see him. From his seat, in
the jury box he smiled and nodded. When
court adjourned he grasped them In his
arms and kissed and fondled them. Yes-
terday was Sunday and a dull day for
the Jury Rome of the jurors played
games and others read: Waldron sat alone,
playing his old and battered vlo'in.
* "Home. Sweet Home" was his favorite
tune. It was on his lips when tie retired
early this morning.
PUNISHMENT NOT SEVERE
Even if Waldron's escape should result
in a mistrial, which would mean a loss of
thousands of dollars to the county, no
severe punishment could be inflicted upon
him. He is in contempt of court, but
the maximum penalty for this offense Is
but a fine of $50 and a ten days' jail
sentence.
Scores of opinions for the escape were
offered, but the suggestion of suicide was
most generally accepted. Officers think
worry about Ids family temporarily de-
ranged him.
Prosecutor Conklln issued a statement
intimatlm: Waldron had been induced to
escape*. Attorneys for Dr. Hyde gave out
h written statement deploring the incident
and setting forth that they had always
urged a speedy trial, Thejr were espe-
cially emphatic n denying the prosecutor s
Insinuations.
The eleven jurors rested all day. Just
before court adjourned tonight they were
led to the Jury box and the roll called.

Judge Edwards, and the man named tn
the complaint held the candle nearer tne
document that tiie court might see to
better advantage. It was a reflection al-
most of the days when a. tallow dip
shed its rays over him who was charged
with a grievous offense against the
Stat a
Then came a lawyer on the scene, C.
M Chambers There seemed to a
question whether or rot Mr. Chapa woulu
have to answer at once In Brownsville,
where the indictment against him was
returned, or whether he would have a
few days of grace. A bondsman came
then, and another bondsman. There was
a hurried consultation in whispered tones
In two or three little groups, and the
court brought forth a form that provides
for the release of him who is charged
with an offense, in other words, the for-
mal bonds. The next five minutes the
court made insertions on the printed
foi m, and then the bondsmen affixed
their slgmatures, both declaring their es-
tate in tne city was equivalent to the
amount of the bond.
This done, the scene ended. A*t\ Chapa
and his bondsmen filed downstairs, the
representatives of the Government went
thftr way, and one or two men standing
within the jahadow of a lamp post were
lost in the darkness of the night- Jit was
an unexpected incident in the so-called
Royista revolution.
It was M.r. Chapa wno became one or
the bondsmen of General Reyes when he
was arrested here the latter part of No
vorrber on the charge of an alleged viola-
tion of the neutrality laws.
The complaint against Mj. Chapa is
made by H. A. Thompson, the agent m
choige of the bureau of investigation
here. It Is the result of telegraphic In-
formation from Fred H. l^ancaster, also
of the bureau. In part, the complaint
charges:
"And the said F. A. Chapa, on or
about the 2T>th day of November, in
said County of Caiheron, within the
Sol thorn district of Texas, did enlist and
enter himself, and did hire and retain
other persons to enlist and enter them-
selves to go beyond the limits of the
Jurisdiction of the United States as a
soldier to ftght against the Republic of
Mexico, a foreign nat1o»i and people."
The court at Brownsville, where tha
Indictments were returned, is presided
o\ er by Judge Waller T. Burns. It is
understood the court has adjournea for a
week, and will not convene again until
December 18.
Mr. Chapa ha* long: been prominent in
the politics of San Antonio. He has fre-
quently been named on committees in po-

working at cross purposes flew thick and
fast. Finally Mr. Hitchcick issued a
statement In denial, but it did not entire-
ly set the reports nt rest. Mr. Hitch-
cock's statement follows:
"Statements which would indtratd that
there Is friction between Mr. I lilies and
myself are absolutely unfounded. My
resignation as chairman of the National
Committee was tendered In good faith on
the day that I was confirmed as Post-
master General and from that time to this
T have refrained from participation in the
affairs of the committee. I have all X
can do at present to look after the busi-
ness of my department and do not wish
to be drawn into any controversy res-
pecting National politics. '
Friends of President Taft entered upon
the work of the day preliminary to the
meeting tomorrow thoroughly confident
there would be no opposition to New. It
was not until they learned, that the
programme arranged on Sunday was giv-
ing dissatisfaction Strangely enough,
the opposition came from members from
Southern States, where the administra-
tion was supposed to be In undisputed
control.
SOUTH STARTS TROUBLE.
Members of the committee from the
Southern States met early in the day,
ostensibly to take measures of self-pro-
tection against any attempt in the next
convention to reduce their representation,
A motion was adopted authorizing Gen-
eral Powell Clayton of Arkansas, who
acted as chairman to name a committee
of five to devise the method and provide
the sinews to fight any movement made
to curtail the Southern delegations. At
the conference also c. Duncan, the mem-
ber from North Carolina, was endorsed
for membership of the executive com-
mittee.
After this formal business had been
transacted several members made impas-
sioned speeches advocating opposition to
preferment for any position of power oi'
n man who had been a member of a
3tate delegation that had voted solidly
In the convention of 1908 to reduce the
representation of the Southern States. It
was recognized that. Colonel New was
meant by this characterization, although
after the meeting several members
blandly reported that New s name had
not been mentioned at the conference,
which probably was true.
No vote was "taken In the Southern con-
ference. but soon after adjournment, it
began to be whispered about that Colonel
New would be opposed by a large number
of committeemen who had hitherto been
counted for any man offered by the
White House.
Following the announcement of opposi-
tion to Colonel New among tne Southern
membership of the committee, several
members openly advocated the retention
of Vice Chairman John F. Hill of Maine,
who will be elected tomorrow as succes-
sor of former Chairman Hitchcock. Mr.
Hill will have the honor of directing the
convention arrangements. It was report-
ed that Mr. Hitchcock was a party to this
plan and it wa.s openly staled by several
other members that Mr. Hitchcock was in

IS HITCHCOCK IN IT?

It. probably was because of tnia uiat ens
Postmaster General issued his statement
Several of the conferences were attend-
ed by Mr. Hitchcock and at one, held at
the White House, both the Postmaster
General and the secretary to the Presi-
dent were present.
Among others who participated in the
conference were Vice Chairman Hill, Sen-
ators Crane of Massachusetts, and Pen-
rose of Pennsylvania, Secretary Nagel,
Arthur Ivory a of Ohio and Secretary
Hey ward of the National Committee.
Some members of the committee hoped
that the White IjLause conference would
result In an agreement for the selection
of Mr. Hill as chairman of the committee
on arrangements and to make Mr. New
a member of the committee, but'this hope
was not realized.
Considerable ill feeling was manifest
late in the afternoon and the executive
committee of the National Committee met
to consider the situation. After much
parleying, the executive committee adopt-
ed a resolution presented by former Gov-
ernor Franklin Murphy of New Jersey,
although not a member, had been permit-
ted to the conference, named Mr. Hill,
Charles F. Brooker of Connecticut and
former Representative Frank O. Lowden
of Illinois as a special committee to go
to the White House to ascertain the
wishes of President Taft.
TAFT DOES THE UNEXPECTED.
Brooker and .Lowden were known to
be In favor of New, and so/ne of the
latter's opponents went so far as to say
that the committee had been i "stacked"
against the vice chairman. They said
that if Brooker and Lowden urged the
President openly to espouse the cause
of New, no alteinative would be left
Mr. Hill but to acquiesce. However,
President Taft did not follow the course
New's friends expected. He is said to
have told the special committee that the
question was one which the National
committee must meet. That ended the
parleying until after the dinner and, of
course, passed the whole situation over
until tomorrow, although other confer-
ences were expected to run into the
morning hours.
The question of presidential preference
primaries so far as the meeting of the
National committee was concerned, prac-
tically was disposed of at the meeting
of the executive committee late today.
It was decided that a resolution should
be adopted giving to the six States
which already have adopted primary
laws the right to select by that method
their delegates to the National conven-
tion. National Committeeman David
Mulvane of Kansas suggested that the
resolution restrict the privilege of pri-
mary selection to these six States. This
action was opposed as impolitic and was
i not agreed to.
; STATE COMMITTEES TO DECIDE.
' It was decided to cover all of the other
States by a resolution providing that
delegates should be elected iu accord-
ance with rules laid down by the various
State committees.
This resolution was said to be satis-
factory to the warring elements from
Ohio, where State Chairman Walter
Brown, opposed to President Taft, fa-
vored State primaries and National Com-
mitteeman Arthur Ivorys, a Taft lieu-
tenant. favored the selection of dele-
gates by the State convention.
An effort was made to have the Na-
tional committee at this time express
itself in condemnation of Russia's re-
fusal to honor passports Issued to Amer-
ican Jewish citizens. The executive com-
mittee, however, decided this was a
question with which the National com-
mittee had nothing whatever to do.
The financial situation of the National
committee was inquired Into by the ex-
ecutive committee and was said to have
been found satisfactory.
George R. Sheldon of New York, the
treasurer, did not offer <his resolution
until tonight. The executiev committee,
being unable to finish Its business to-
night, adjourned until 10 o'clock tomor-
row morning.
The National committee will meet at
11 a. m.
CHICAGO WIIAL GET CONVENTION.
There seemed to be no question tonlgnt
but that Chicago would get the Na-
tional convention and that it would be
held the last week in June
Some members of the National com-
mittee did not attend President Tafts
dinner tonight. Tho most prominent of
these was William I* Ward of New
York, who stated he would he in the
city only a short time. Friends of Mr.
Ward tonight, however, declared he had
declined because he did not wish to
commit himself to Mr. Taft's candidacy
in any way.

BRICEVIIvLE, Tenn., Dec. 11 (via Coal
Creek, Tenn.)—Families of the 100 or
more miners entombed in Cross Mountain
mine today begun to realize that there
was no chance of their ever seeing their
loved ones alive again. At nightfall
twenty-two bodies had been recovered
and more than twenty cross entries to
the mines remained to be explored. It
will be days before all of the entries
are penetrated.
A day more gloomy or more in keeping
with the feelings of the surviving In-
habitants of this stricken village would
be difficult to Imagine. A cold rain be-
gan falling just before daybreak and con-
tinued until kite In the afternoon, con-
verting the roads which comprise the
stieets of Brlcoville into mud puddles.
From the little shacks in which the
miners live came wailing sounds from
women ami children, thereby adding to
I he general gloom. For the most part
the women remained in their homes, but
a few stood in tho rain outside the, mine
entrance awaiting for their dead to be
brought forth.
RESCUE WORK GOES ON.
The rescue work has gone relentlessly
on since the explosion occurred early
Saturday morning. I>r. J. A. Holmes,
head of the United States Bureau of
Mines, took personal charge of the activ-
ities of the Government today and di-
rected his men Into the unexplored re-
cesses.
Wearing oxygen helmets they were
able to penetrate to corners iu which
the miners themselves dared not ven-
ture for fear of the dread afterdamp.
They worked as rapidly as possible,
leaving the miners to take our their
dead comrades while they searched for
any whom might be living. No sign of
life had been detected when the Gov-
ernment rescuers came out of the mine
tonight for the first time since they en-
tered at 11 o'clock this morning.
DEAD ALL AMERICANS.
Practically all of the men who are be-
lieved to have perished are Americans,
born and reared in this valley. Many
women have been deprived not only of
their husbands, but also of brothers and
some of their sons. i'he stricken ones
Aeem to have cried themselves out and
they seem to be in a sort, of daze, unable
to fully realize the extent of their loss.
A new graveyard was established today
at Laurel Branch, near here, to take
care of the Cross Mountain dead. The
graves are being dug In a circle, the
plan being to eventually erect a monu-
ment in the center in memory of the
explosion victims.
Volunteers were called for today to per-
form tho sexton's task and twelve re-
sponded. All the afternoon they could be
ween plying pick ^id shovel on the
mountain side under an Improvised shel-
ter to protect them from the rain.
There was not enough work for the
undertakers' corps to do and, clad tn oil-
cloth aprons, they presented a gruesome
sgiht as they stood about the mine wait-
ing for bodies to be brought forth.
CAUSE OF EXPLOSION UNKNOWN.
Many are the theories being advanced
as to the -cause of the accident. Presi-
dent Stephenson of the Knoxvillo Iron
Company, which owns the mine, said to-
day it probably had been caused by a
"windy shot," which is a sort of flare-
back -of powder inserted in a hole bored
in the Coal to be dislodged. This powder
might have Ignited gases accumulated in
one of the many "rooms" In the mine
wr might have set off the coal dust on
tho floor of the room. The floors are
supposed to be swept and sprinkled and
Mr. Stephenson said they were, in proof
of which he recited a statement or one I
of the first rescuers on the scene that
they had used some of the dust as putty
to stop up holes in the brattices, or par-
titions, into which main entry has to be
divided to assist the circulation of fresh
air.
Cross Mountain mine Is more than
twenty years old and contains some of
the richest coal deposits In this region
It has an average output of 600 tons a
day. Never before in its history has it
had a serious accident.
The coal company is supplying the im-
mediate needs of the stricken families,
but later there will be need of funds to
care for the widows and orphans. Indi-
cations are that there will be irtore than
fifty of the former and about 160 of
the latter.
A Knoxville baker distributed 600 loaves
of bread among the families today and
there was no shortage of food.

formed the keynote of an Informal ad-
dress made at the Chamber of Com-
merce rooms to directors of the publicity
League Monday night by Lewis D. Samp-
son of Chicago, president of the Town
Development Company of Chicago, and
editor of Town Development, a magazine.
So delighted were those who heard Mr.
Sampson* with the practical and com-
mon pense logic of his argument that
be was Invited by President Jake Wolff
nf the Chamber of Commerce to nddreas
the directors of that organization at their
meeting this afternoon.
"The real question Is how to overcome
the community Ills found in all com-
munities," ssld Mr. Simpson. "Getting
money from a community is about the
simplest and most commonplace thing in
the world. No community is entitled to
be nsked for money for community' ad-
vancement until It is shown In a com-
prehensive manner to what use tbe money
is to be put. You may sny the people
ought to know; but they do not. \Tot fifty
men In this city tomorrow could tell me to
what use the money raised by the Cham-
ber of Commerce or other civic organiza-
tion is put.
"You must arouse In each Individual
a pride in his community and Its possi-
bilities; what It Is good for, what it will
be good for tomorrow and the possibili-
ties of organized effort. Create in him a
state of mind that will appreciate the
possibilities of the community and what
may be accomplished by organised effort
A man would rather speak well of his
community than otherwise and commu-
nity appreciation is worth more, much
more, than mere dollars. The old-fash-
ioned plan is to definitely decide details of
plans projected, let It then be known how
money Is required and fix the minimum
amount needed from each contributor to
bring results But yon must first con-
vince the contributor of what you expect
to accomplish, and when vou have suc-
ceeded In this you have gained hla confi-
dent in the work and recruited a worker.
Such a method cannot fail it accomplish
results. All requests for money should
be consolidated to meet the requirements

Mr. Sampson told how successful the
work had been In Chicago, where It was
considered an honor to have a place on the
ways and means Committee of the organ-
ization, and in St. l'aul aud other cities
In which he hus worked. Conditions are
not different in San Antonio from many
other cities, he said. The town does not
know or appreciate what one is doing for
It. He advised that every effort should
be made to bring about the utmost com-
munity unity and make every citizen a
"booster" for San Antonio in the finest
sense of the word.
Mr. Sampson said he had come to
Texar to study conditions in the State
