STRYCHNINE
Found In Stomach Of Chicago
Millionaire

Chicago, H., Jan. 19.-Rumors were
prevalent today that strycnine had
been found IN the stomach of Colonel
thomas Swope, the Kansas City nil
lionaire, whose mysterious death, fol-
lowed by that Of his nephew, caused
the stomach to be sent here fer sx-
animation by DR.. Ludwig Hektoen and
Prof. Walter s. Haines, of the Uni rer-
sity OF Chicago.
Effort to get some one connected
with the case to indorse the rumor or
verify it failed, but there was a gen
eral feeling that something sensation
al is in the air and about to be sprung.
Have the results thus far justified
the examination" Prof. Haines was
asked at the conference in the Bre-
wort hotel.
Developments SO far indicate that
the examination was justified" he re-
piled.
DR.. Hektoen had reported that the
brain of the late millionaire was nor
NAL and that death was not caused by
cerebral hemorrhage.

ease is primarily one of warm eli
mates.
On the negro Is placed the respon.
sibility for the presence of the disease
In the United States. DR.. Stiles said
that the hookworm found here has
been traced to the West Coast of AZ
rica, land It undoubtedly was brought
here by the negro"
twenty-five per cent. of the cotton
mills employees Of the South are in
fected with the hookworm, said DR..
Stiles, who based the statement on
personal visits made to 128 mills In
the Southern states. The attendance
is large.

nr Stiles referred as the first man to
recognize the hookworm in the United
States, was chosen chairman OF the

susceptible to treatment.

ABSTAIN
From Use Of Meat Is The
Suggestion
As Good Thing To Bring
Down The Prices

Columbus, o., Jan. 1S.-'Let the
people of Ohio start at once to alb.
stain from eating meat and not walt
for the beginning of Lent"
This Is the advise Of Senator Dan
iel Webster Williams, Chairman OF
the Joint Committee of the General
Assembly appointed to inquire into
the cost of living in the state of Ohio
1t is not from religious motives
that this advise flows, but rather
from economical ones. The defense
of the packers and dealers is that
the high price of meat is due to the
fact that the demand has exceeded
the supply.
Their explanations for the lack OF
proper increase in the supply are as
numerous almost as the sands on
the seashore and as various as the
flowers of the fields.
"If this is true, then the Austen
tion from meat for the next 70 days
VIII permit the packers to accumu-
late surplus" said the senator from
Jackson county. 1T will cause also
a substantial reduction in the price
of that commodity and of others as
we'll"
The chairman of the committee is
sincerely in earnest in this appeal
and thoroughly believes that the
remedy is one that will be completely
effective.
