Lawyers in Conference.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
KANSAS CITY. Mo. January 15-
There were two startling developments in
the Swope case today.
One was the report by expert chemists
in Chicago that white powder was
found in the stomach of Chrisman Swope
The other was the announcement by
John 6. Paxton executor Of the Swope
will, that on the day the millionaire died
he was planning to change his will and
take S1.0O0OOO from relatives and give il
to some public benefaction in Kansas
City.
Every effort has been made by the ex-
ecutors to keep the discovery of the pow
der a secret The white stuff has no,
yet been tested to determine whether il
is poison or not. The discovery alone
is considered sufficient warrant for the
greatest care.
DIR. Haynes. the Chicago chemist. found
it. The Importance of his discovery ap-
peared to him so great that he at once
sent word of it to John G. Paxton. at
torney for the Swope estate. without
waiting to make analysis.
Following this development all attor-
neys making the investigation asked the
prosecuting attorneys Office for further
conference. Mr.. Paxton. John Hatwood
and Thomas MaSten. lawyers for the eS-
tate, and Virgil Conkling. prosecuting
attorney. this afternoon held a long con-
ference in Mr.. PaXton's Office.
The will Col. Swope had written, Civ
ing all his estate to relatives, he carried
around with him in the few days be-
fore his death. 1t was in the pocket of
his coat hanging near his back when
he died.
Mr. Paxton said today:
Three days before his death Col.
Swope had a conversation iS>&Mhich he
said he was dissatisfied with the will he
had written. He had written the will
himself and there was S1,GO0.C4O of his
wealth of which he had not provided for
in the will
..He said he had left enough money
to his relatives and din't care to leave
them any more He was in a Quandary
what 10 do with. that one million dol
lars.
He was still puzzlins about il on the
day of his death.

that while the regulars had conceded the

idea Originated in Germany.

This league is spontaneous move
ment on the part of the people. who have
at last decided TO do something 10 help
themselves. The idea originated in Ger
many. where some time ago a corpora
tion bought up all the coffee in the en-
pre and started to raise the price of it
to an eXorbintant figure. The idea then
occurred to the German people to abstain
a protest to the corporation. There was
fee in the empire. and within four days
the combine collapsed and the German
people taught the coffee trust a lesson
which it never forgot.
THE American people are a patient
and long-suffering people. They love to
complain but they don't act. Yet We
can do exactly the same thing that the
Germans did. In this contest it is evil
dent that nothing can be done by the
individual. We need rallying point
around which We can gather for con-
certed action. We don't propose to fight
the trusts We are going To ignore
them. We are not going, even, to ask
why food is high. When we know it is
high we are going to act. We are not
going to investigate. We will leave that
for Congress to do Ask anything of
Congress and the first thing you get is
an investigation. Now. the people are
tired of commissions and Investigations.
Congress will issue volumes telling how
high food is, how high it was and why
it is high. But what does the mouse,
wife care for these volumes? She did
not have to read them to find out that
food is high. and when she knows II she
does not care to read long dissertations
on the cause of the rise i'm price. What
she wants is to get the price down.

Women a Power in Fight.

Where men have failed women often
succeed. In this movement place Your
confidence in the women. They are the
ones that are most interested and they
are the ones who can win the struggle.
IF you pay 20 cents a pound for a
turkey, that means that some one has
his hand i'm your pocket, and ii is there
without your consent. We have no
grievance against the cents a pound
that the farmer receives for his pork All
fact we think. perhaps, he ought to get
10 cents. But We do object to those who
afterward add to the price arbitrarily.
Our object is to have our organization
as simple as possible. When prices are
high in certain zone, word will be sent
to the members OF our league TO discon-
tinue the food for a certain time.
We will have advisory council of
five or seven men, men of high standing.
men beyond reproach. They will be en-
powered to pronounce and interdict
against the price of any food We will
not object to the natural rise in price.
We know that in winter milk is cent
more a quart higher than in summer.
and know that it ought to be, it
costs the farmer more To feed his cows.
We will be concerned only with the eX-
tartiOpate nricpS
