Washington. Feb. 19.-The condl-
ton Of Senator B. r. Tlllman OF

little more encouraging tonight.
While his case continues to be ex-
tremely grave. his chances for recov-
cry are said by attending physicians
To be better than ever.
This CLEAN of hope. borne of tho
fact that the vital organs of the SEN
ator not directly affected by the stroke
OF paralysis are performing their
functions admirably, has given his
relatives and friends the greatest en-
couragement they have received In
the last forty-eight hours.
Following consultation Doctors

The strike is the second inaugurated
by the trolley men In year. The

wanted the company to recognize no

MORE POISON
DISCOVERED.
Strychnine in Great Quantity
Found in Stomach of Chris.
man Swope.
SCIENTISTS CONVINCED
OF CAUSE OF DEATH
Grand Jury Maintains Secrecy But
Story Same as That Given
in Evidence.

Kansns City. Mo-. Fob 19-Strych-
nine in far greater quantities than is
usually administered In medicinal
doses has been found in the stomach
and liver OF Chrsman Swope and n
Margaret Swope, according 10 a spc.
ciol received from Chicago today
This infrmauoon was given out by
an assistant In the Rush Medical col
lege laboratory. II was there that Dr.
Walter s. Haines and DR. Ludwig
Hektoen and DIR. Victor Vaughn work
cd on the Swope mystery. In the ab-
eence OF these men, who are hore
tesifying before a grand jury that IS
investigating the case, the assistant
revealed the story Of tho findings OF
the scientists In the two cases upon
which no official report has been
made.
II was In this same laboratory that
the stomach and liver OF Thomas r.
Swope was examined and It was de-
termined that there was poison in his
system.
None of the examinations have been
finished. That is. an absolute Quanti-
tive analysis has not yet been made.
The scientists have progressed far
enough, however, SO that they are
convinced that neither Thomas E. nor
Cbrisman Swope would havo died
when they did had 1t not been ior
strychnine.
Strychnine is moro apparent in the
viscera of Chrisman Swope than iu
that of Thomas F. Swope. When the
examination of Thomas E. Swopo's
stomach was made poison was found
but In such minute particles that All
examination OF tho liver was neces.
sary to determine whether enough
strychnine had been given to cause
death.
In neither the case of Miss Margaret
nor Chrlsma Swope. could the styoh-
nine have been present as a result
OF hypodermic injections for medl.
cinal purposes. Even If the strych-
nine had been given repeatedly,
enough of the poison could not have
been placed in circulation by that
method to have caused the deposits
found in the cjecta OF Miss Margaret
Swope's stomach and the liver of
Chrisman Swope. it Is said
Although the greatest secrecy is be-
Ing maintained regarding the testi-
mony OF the physicians before the
grand jury. It is understood that the
story of tho laboratory assistant is
the same as that told by physicians
today before the grand jury.
