Claim Politics Control Faculty.

Alva, Okla, May Considerable
dissatisfaction was aroused here by
the appointment made by the board of
regents to places in the Northwestern
normal at this place. When the news
came that some of the best men had
been let out and the suggestion was
made that politics controlled in the Sc
lection of the faculty, the citizens gen
orally expressed themselves in strong
terms against the action of the board,
and the student body nearly 1000
young men and women. were greatly
incensed.
At the chapel exercises this morning
the students hung an efigy in the
assembly room pinned to which was
a card with the name of State Super
intendent Cameron on one side and
President Ross of the college on the
other. No president has been selected
as yet and it is charged that this
appointment is being held until GER
tain political deals can be framed up.
The president is w. L. Ross, a brother
OF Leslie p. Ross, who is candidate
for governor, and it is charged that
if the president can pull his brother
out OF the race for governor he can
be retained as president.

SAID He MIGHT
DIE At ANY TINE
Natural Causes Might Have Been Re-
sponsibIe For Cause Of the
Deaths.
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Kansas City, Mo-, May 5.-That Col.
Swope was in i'll health for months
prior to his death and that natural
causes might have been responsible
for the commissions of Thomas H.
Chrisman and Margaret Swope was
what the defense in the Hyde trial at
tempted to prove in open case today.
Sylvester Spangler testified that Col.
Swope was SO enfeebled for year be-
fore he died that he tainted several
times, the millionaire, says Spangler,
told him the day before his death that
he might die at any time. From DR..
e. w Grochling the defense ELECTED
the information that either uremic
poisoning, typhoid fever or meningitis
would result in symptoms shown by
the three Swopes when in convulsions.
On cross examination the physician
admitted the attacks also resembled
cases OF strychnine poisoning. The
witness was in the hands of the state
when adjournment was taken at noon.
Kansas City, Mo-, May 5.-The most
important witness for the state in the
trial of DR.. B. G. Hyde was called late
yesterday afternoon, when DR.. Victor
C. Vaughn, the toxicoligist, of Ann
Arbor, Mich, was called to the stand.
The state has but one more witness
to examine-Mrs. Logan o. Swope.
Searches for poison made by him
alone, and also with the aid of DR..
Walter Haines, of Chicago. DR.. Vaughn
said, resulted in the discovery Of
twenty-six thirty-thirds OF one grain Of
strychnine in the entire liver of Col
Thomas H. Swope. He also said that
he found signs of cyanide of potassium
in the stomach. There was trace Of
strychnine in kidney and sugges-
tion, but not u positive proof, of
cynide in the stomach of Chrisman
Swope.
The toxicoligist also said that he
found strychnine in the contents Of
the stomach of Margaret Swope. He
also testified that there was cynide on
the capsules said to have been thrown
into the street by DR.. Hyde the night
he departed from the swope home
December IS. last.
In reply to the hypothetical ques-
tions regarding the commissions suf-
fered by Col. Swope and Miss Mar
garet Swope, Vaughn said, that in his
opinion, they had been caused by the
administration of some convlusive
poison. Strychnine or cyanide would
produce such symptoms, he said.
Judging from the Investigations of
tragedies, said the toxicoligist, he did
not believe that Col. Swope died from
apoplexy or uremic poisoning, or that
Chrisman swope died from menin-
gifts.

Topeka. Kans.. May 5. = Modern
medical colleges came in for hot
roast at the Kansas Medical Society's
convention today DR.. c. c. Goddard

They teach theories" said he.
They give the student no knowledge
of the rudiments of medicine. A
young man. when he graduates from
one of them, is not fit to doctor cat. !"
