N0T S0 SURE NOW.
DR. HALL NOT CERTAIN THAT COL. sWoPE DIED FROM
 STRYcHNlNE.
IS A POINT FOR DOCl0R HYDE
The Kansas City BacterioIogist Now Says That the Aged Millionaire's Death May Have Been the Result of Any One of Number of Causes.

Kansas City, Feb. 16.-Another ele. ment of doubt has entered the Swopo case. It came when Dr Frank Hall, the bacteriologist who attended the autopsy over the body of Col. Swope, gave his deposition in the suit for libel brought by Dr. B. c. Hyde, who has been charged with the murder of Col. Swope, against John c. Paxton, attorney for the Swope estate.
 At the inquest last week Dr. Hall. as well as Dr. Ludwig Hektoen. the Chicago expert in pathology, testified that the brain and the vital organs of Col Swope were practically normal. Dr. Hall admitted that he is not posi- tive that they were normal. He ad- mitted further that it was possible that the death of Col. Swope might have resulted from cerebral hem orrhage, uraemic poisoning or conges- tion of the spinal cord.
 Dr. Halls deposition lays the back ground for a clash between medical and scientific experts in case Dr. Hyde is brought to trial on charge of mur- der. It means, probably, that famous scientists will be called here to give their expert testimony. Elaborate plans are being made for prosecution and even more elaborate plans of de- fense are being prepared.
 When the three scientists who have made the Swope analyses, arrive from Chicago, they will find themselves much sought men. From the moment they reach Kansas City they will be the target of bitter contest of legal dence. On one side will be the Swope attorneys and the prosecutor. The Hyde attorneys will compose the other hostile camp.
 The scientists, Dr. Ludwig Hektoen. pr. Walter Haines and Dr. Victor Vaughan, are being brought here to testify exclusively before the grand jury, to tell the story of their weary weeks of search and study and what they found. And this story Virgil Conkling, the county prosecutor, hopes to keep secret, to be told only | eO tliC lA iltA VI uO d1t Siiblti6 bCAilAu closed doors hearing the unveiling oi the Swope mystery.
 And that means controversy Frank P Walsh, attorney for Dr. B. c, Hyde, is just as eager that this story of science shall be made public as the attorneys for the Swopes are to have it related exclusively to the grand 
 jury. In MT. Walshs office a number of subpoenas were prepared to be served on each of the three scientists the minute they arrive in Kansas City commanding them to ap- pear in his office and give their de- positions in the libel suit Dr. B. Clark Hyde has brought against John G. Paxton.

L. R. CLAWS SEEMS TO BE A MATCH FOR BALLlNGER AT
 ToRNEYs AT INQUIRY.
THE INTEREST HAS lNCReASEs
Things Move More Lively at the Hear ing in Washington Since the Secro tary is Represented by counsel-A "Frame-Up" Charged.


 Washington, Feb. 16.-To ascertain whether or not l.. R. Glavis, the ac. cuser of Secretary Ballinger, was the victim of a "frame-up" in connection with the finding of various missing of ficial papers, Attorney vertrees, coun. sel fos MT. Ballinger, requested that subpoenas be issued forthwith for A. Christensen, Glavis' successor, and C.. w. ONeill of Seattle.
 MT. Vertrees also requested the committee to summon as witnesses Miss Ella M. Shartell of Seattle, Frank L. Spalding of Cheyenne, special agent, and w. w. Barr of Seattle. The appearance.of counsel for both sides has tended to enliven greatly the proceedings and has also tended to bring about some pretty lively discus sions among the members of the com mittee as to the admissibility of testi. l mony and regarding protests from | Glavis that MT. Vertrees cut off his answers before he is fairly started with them
 
 tention, but asserts that, instead of di. rectly answering him, the witness branches off into an argument or into an expression of opinion as to what ne considers right or wrong. In these committee discussions the Democrats thus far have always been found on the side of the accusing wit. ness. Mir Madison, the insurgent member from Kansas, also has taken up the defense of Glavis.
 These little incidents, as we'll as the apparent general temper of the com mittee, have led number of persons who are following the case already to predict that the final outcome will be majority and minority report, one by the Republicans. one by the Demo crats and possibly a third and indi vidual report by Mir. Madison.
 Glavis underwent his first ordeal ol 1 cross-examination with the same cool self-possessed manner that he dis | played when giving his direct testi mony. None of the inquiries directed | tO hitI oCtAiACu " iuhiC III Ah way until fl was announced that testi mony would be produced to show tha certain original letters, which 1t is as serted Glavis did not turn over to his successor when he was removed from | the service, were found recently in q box which he left in the grand jury room at Seattle. This angered the | witness and he bitterly denounced | what he termed a "frame-up" on the | part of federal officials who were seek | Ing favor with their superiors. Glavis fences with the attorneys skilfully and apparently is a match | for all of them. He parties theii questions and when directed to answer ives" or mo" he always stands upon | the right that has been accorded him to follow this up with an explanation which may run on for five minutes ol more and in the course of which he usually takes advantage of the oppor | tunity to say that he was thus con vinced "that MT. Ballinger Is unfit fol | the office he holds, Is unfaithfui tc his trust and not loyal to the interests of the people"

"MENACO-OPERATIYE DEVELOPMENT CLUB"
New Name Selected Harry Cox Wins the $500 Prize Creamery and Brick Plant Propositions
 Considered.

Quite a number of business men came out Monday night to the meeting of the new commercial organization. The first matter taken up after Chairman c. A. Smith called the meeting to order was appointment of committee to act as judges in selecting the best name for tue club, as sug- gested by the school children. Secretary Wood had received about seventy-five coupons as cut from The Evening Star. which had been filled out by school chil- dren aud mailed to him.
 Father Gallagher, M. A. Strat- ton and F. w. Tomliuson were appointed to make the selection and in going oyer the lists the first time selected five names as follows:
 Mena Sunshine Club.
 Mena Live Wire Club.
 Mena Fair View Club.
 Mena Springs Booster Club.
 Mena Co-Operative Develop meut Club.
 They finally decided on the last name as tbe best. This name was sent in by Harry Cox, son of Mrs. T. J. Clayton.
 Mir. W. c. Murphy of Chicago, was then introduced to the club and made lengthy address in placing a brick plant proposition before the people. The gentle man claims to have process and brick making machine that makes a high grade product without burning the clay and makes them much cheaper than they can be made under any other process. His proposition is to bring the machinery to Mena, iustallit and make enough brick to thoroughly demonstrate his claims, and if he does he will ask tue people of Mena to subscribe for $b,000 worth of stock in a S13, 1000 plant, which will have capacity to turn out so, GOO brick in A hours.
 This subject was referred to the executive committee for fur ther consideration. It was taken up again Tuesday morning and it was decided to ask Mir. Murphy to submit bonus proposition in lieu of the stock proposition.
 +. c. Wilsey, practical cream cry operator of 25 years experi- ence, who has been planning to locate creamery at some point in Polk county, presented prop osition ia writing to locate in Mena, favoring this town on ac- count of being nearer an ice sup ply, and he could handle the milk from other points along the rail- way with perfect ease.
 A special committee composed of George Petty, Father Gala- gher aud H. w. Cardwell was ap- pointed to see if the necessary arrangements could be made to give MT. Wilsey the desired hold ] xptt1, hfc essternrfea
