SWITCHING CHARGE UNLAWFUL
Commerce Commission Decides Pacific
Coast Case

Washington. May 6.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day decided the
San Francisco and Los Angeles switching
cases. involving the right of railroads to
make an additional charge for receiving
and delivering carload freight TO and from
industries on spur tracks and side tracks
when the carriers receive the main line
haul.
II has been the practice of the railroads
entering san Francisco and Los Angeles
TO charge 81 so a car in addition TO the
regular freight rate for this spur track
delivery. The commission holds that the
charge Is unreasonable and unlawful, and
directs that 1t be discontinued.

Kansas City, Jan. 14.-If the sus-
picions concerning the deaths of Thos.
Fl. Swope, millionaire, and Chrisman
Swope, his nephew, are well founded,
they were the victims Of poison plot.
The man who comprised the deaths,
if they resulted from design, called on
science to aid him, since evidence has
been produced to show that he ad-
ministered to his victims the germs of
typhoid fever as we'll as poison.
Thomas. H. SWope died in October, and
his nephew passed away suddenly last
month. Others of the Swope heirs fell
i'll, but recovered. 1t is alleged that
one of the heirs to the Swope fortune
plotted the deaths of the others in or
der to become the sole beneficiary OF
the aged millionaires will. The inves-

candidate for president in 1912.
Unless he has changed his mind in the
last four weeks, he is as strongly in
favor of the denomination of President
Taft as ne was in 1905
1t may as we'll be stated that this
view is not taken seriously by many
of lRoOsevelt's real friends They re-
gard Stewards statement merely as
setting forth the position the stand

not return until some time in July.
The presidents absence from the
Roosevelt, reception would speak for
itself
Roosevelt will not endorse the Taft
administration, declared close friend
of the ex-president to the writer. And
am in q position to deny the purport
of the Stewart statement. While /
have not been authorized to make any
official statement as to Roosevelts at
titude, | can say that Roosevelt has
not declared up to this time whether
