Another boost to the project to i'm
prove Rock river from it's mouth to
Horizon, Wis, was given by the I'm
provement association at Rockford,
Ill. yesterday. Resolutions addressed
to the Illinois and Wisconsin senators
and to the congressman whose dis
tricts embrace the river were adopted
urging them to obtain governmental
aid looking to a survey and report OF
the river.
1t is asked that special attention be
given to making the river navigable to
boats of light draft from Sterling to
GAINESVILLE, a plan of making a reser-
voir of Horizon marsh, report on
lands reclaimable from overflow, and
the benefit to water power interests,
and what part of the cost should be
borne by the latter.
All towns from the rivers mouth to
Horizon Wis, were represented, and
the delegates were optimistic. Isham

Would Impeach
Gov. Haskell in
Bank Fraud Case

GUTHRIE, Qkl., Jan 31.-Reference to a
possibility of impeachment of Governor
Charles N. Haskell and other state officers
is made in resolution made in the lower
house Of the legislature here today by
Representative Humphrey.
The resolution demands an investigation
OF the Columbia Bank and Trust company,
which failed at Oklahoma City last fall
owing depositors over $l.OOO,OOO, and 1t calls
upon Attorney General West to bring be-
fore the Legislature matters which he had
previously stated were being considered by
the grand Jury at Oklahoma City, when
that body was discharged recently by order
of Governor Haskell.
The resolution is based upon a letter
written by the attorney general at the time
the grand tury which 1t was knokn was
inquiring into the affairs of the failed bank,
was discharged. At that time Mr.. West
criticised the acts Of certain state officials
alleged to be concerned In the institution.
The resolution says: Such charges, If
true, might subject the governor of this
state to impeachment and the officers to
whom reference is made to impeachment or
removal"

COLUMBIA. S. c., Jan. 31~-Senator b. r.
Tillman and his son, b. r. Tillman, jr.,
were present when the case of Mrs. B. r.
Tillman, jr., against Senator Tillman and
his wife for the custody Of her two chill
dren was taken up by the supreme court
here. Senator and Mrs. Tillman rest their
case entirely on the statute law of South
Carolina, which in part is as follows
Section 2S69-The father Of any child or
children under the age of 81 years and not
married may dispose of the custody and
tuition of such child or children during
such time as they remain under the age
of II years to any persons"
Under this act his son decided the chill
dFen to his father and mother.
No effort has been made 90 assaii the
character of young Mrs. Tillman, but in
his affidavit Senator Tillman says it is
probable the young wife would go to an
other state to get divorce and remarry,
in which case the children would be placed
under stepfather
Thank God" says the senator. there
is no such thing as divorce in South Caro-

day evening of pneumonia. He had been
sick only since last Friday.

gan his business training with his father.
For several years he managed large

ests left to him. He was a heavy stock

years passed Mr.. Paxton was proving him
self worthy son of his father, aud prom-
ised to make as great an Impress on the
life OF his native city as the latter had
made IN an earlier day.
SInck last April Mr.. Paxton had been
living in his new home, called Falracrcs,

had not been completed TO tho satisfaction

Although Virgil Conkling. the prosecutin;
attorney Of Kansas City, refused to make
any statement. Mr.. Paxton said that Grim
lnal prosecution would follow their return
home. The following statement was given
out by Mr.. Paxton after his conference
with the doctors;
Paxton Makes Announcement.
"On account OF the widespread interest
in the Investigation that has been made
into the couse of the death of Thomas H.
Swope, l feel It proper for me to mako
public the fact thar DR.. Hektoen, DR..
Haines and DR.. Vaughan as the result of
their Investigations extending over period
of several weeks, give to me their opinion
that Mr.. Swope died from the effects OF
poison"
The Kansas City party returned home to-
night and will be present at the inquest to-
morrow.
Those present at the autopsy held at the
university besides Mr.. Paxton, Mr. Conk-
ling and the three doctors were Attorney
James A Reed, an associate OF Mr. Pax
ton in the Swope estate Coroner E. E.
Zwart and Thomas II. swope nephew OF
the dead millionaire.
The conference lasted several hours and
every bit of the evidence submitted by
the Psychologists was carefully considered
before the statement concerning the find
ing of poison was made public. Zach OF
the three doctors declsred that he was
satisfied beyond any doubt that stryehnine
was present in various places In Colonel
Swope's organs.
While no one would make a statement
that strychnlne itself was administered,
Mr.. Paxton said that all were satisfied
that drug containing strychnne In large
quantities had been given the dead man.
Mr.. Paxton and Thomas swope were
greatly agltated by the report. Mr. swope
would make no statement concerning his
suspicious or future plans but Mr.. Paxton
was emphatic In his predictions that Grim
inal prosecutions would follow Immediately
after the return of the party to Kansas
City When pressed to name the person
or persons under suspicion, Mr.. Paxton
absolutely refused to name anyone.
