X PLOT FOR MILLIONS
 WHOLESALE MURDER TO ATTAIN THE SWOPE FOR TUNE OF KANSAS CITY. The Murderer First Sought the Aid of
 Typhoid Germs.

Kansas City. Jan. 13-DoIbting that Thomas H. Swope. the million aire philanthropist. who died here on october 3, came to his death ri ma tural causes, his relatives have start ed an investigation. It developed to- day thai MT. Swope's body was taken from a vault in Forest Hill cemetery on Wednesday to an undertaking es- where medical examination was made.
 Attorneys for the Swope estate say that they are convinced that a deep laid plot existed to kill. first. Colonel Swope, and then the other members of his family. A person who hoped to become the sole beneficiary of the Swope millions. plotted their deaths. they assert. Suspicion was aroused when Christian Swope. a nephew. died December 22. He was believed to have died from typhoid fever. but the attorneys aver that he and his uncle were poisoned.
 An arrest in the case probably will be made in a few days" said John H. Atwood, one of the Swope attorneys. tonight There is not a particle of doubt in my mind that both Thomas and Christian Swope were murdered"
 The man under suspicion is said to have attempted to inoculate the en- tire Swope family with typhoid bac- teria. hoping to bring death by this means so that he would not be sus- pected. This failing. however. he re- sorted to poison in the case of the two men. Several members of the Swope family were stricken with typhoid following Thomas II. Swope's death.
 Mir. Swope was perhaps the richest man here. His philanthrophies were many. His most magnificent gift was presented to Kansas City in the shape of Swope park. the second largest park in. America.

Partially Cleared By Con-
 fession of Ray Lamphere MURDERER OF MURDEREss
Mrs. Guinness and Her Chil dren Chloroformed Before Her Home Was Burned - Story Leaves Unaccounted For Body.

St Louis, Jan. 13.-In copyrighted story the Post Dispatched published today what it Claims was confession by Ray Lamphere who died a few days ago in the Indiana state prison at Michigan City. where he was serving d life sentence for setting fire to the home of Mrs. Belle Guinness near La Porte, Ind
 It is known that Rev. Dr. E. A Schell. formerly of LaPorte. heard Lamphere's confession. The confes- sion shows that Mrs Guinness and her three children were cnIoroformed by Lamphere. who was robbing the house with a woman accomplice; that Jennie Oson was not killed by Mrs. Guinness: that the chloroform used by Lamphere was a part of that bought for Mrs Gunness to kill three men. one of whom was Andrew Holdgin. and the others probably Ole Budsburg and Tonnes Petersen Lien; that one of these men. probably Lien, was the third husband of Mrs. Guinness
 The Post Dispatch says that if Rev. Dr. Schell would consent to talk. he would verify the confession it pub fishes.
 The confession. according to the pa- per. was obtained from a man of un- assailable character and truthfulness. whose standing in the community where he lives is such that his word is accepted without question. Rev Dr. Schell at Burlington. Iowa. today after hearing the confession the Post Dis patch printed said he had not divulged any such confession to any person
 The confession is startling in it's va riance from the theories hitherto held. based on all the available evidence 1t establishes that Mrs Gunness is dead. The adult body found in the smoking ruins of the Guinness farm house was the body of Mrs. Belle Guinness She was in that deep sleep that chloroform induces when the smoke crept up through the crevices and smothered her. She died with the head of her little boy pillOwed on her breast He was chlOrOformed also and died with out waking. The two little girls, Myr- tie and Lucy. not so thoroughly chlo- reformed. aw"ke and ran into their mothers room. where they perished.
 Jennie olson. the niece and adopted daughter of Mrs. Guinness, who. it had been believed was murdered by the woman more than a year before the house was burned. and whose body was believed to have been buried in the farm yard. was not murdered by Mrs. Guinness according to Lamphere's confession. but was burned to death in the fire that destroyed the house. She also had been engaged in the chlOrO- forming. Assuming that Lamphere told the truth about Jennie Olson. the identity of the girl buried in the yard adds another mystery to the case

Express Companies Compete With U.
 6. Mails.

Washington. Jan. lS.-An attack was made today before the interstate com merce commission on the legality of transportation by express companies of parcels or packages weighing four pounds or less.
 Nathan E. Williams. a lawyer of Fayetteville. Ark, issued a complaint against the Wells Fargo Express com panS. in which hs asserted that the carrying of packages of four pounds or less by express companies between interstate points was unlawful because congress had committed the carriage of such packages to the mails and made it unlawful for any private ex- press company to carry them. He said the commission was without legal au- thority to make rates or enforce tar ifs concerning express transportation Of such packages.
