ACTION UP TO PROSECUTOR
Sufficient Evidence Obtained to Con-
vince Jury, Declares Attorney for
Estate-Laree Charitable Be-
quests Were Planned.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 17.--John G.
Paxton and John H. Atwood, attor-
neys for the Swope estate, departed
for Chicago to confer with the sci
entists who are making an analysis of
the contents of the stomach of the
late Col Thomas H. Swope, and learn
the result of the investigation.
Mr.. Atwood would not say whether
an arrest would be made IL no traces
of poison were found in the stomach
of the dead millionaire.
1.-THE matter of making an arrest"
said Mr.. Atwood, depends entirely
upon the prosecuting attorney. He
was present at Saturdays conference,
at which all the evidence was gone
( over l don't think any warrant has
been issued. We believe that suffi-
Client evidence has been obtained to
go into court and make such case
that jury would have little hesitaHcy
in arriving at a verdict"

that he did not think any arrest would
be made until the certified report of
the Chicago scientists reached him.
Planned More for Charity.
John G.. Paxton, the dead million
aires attorney, said Colonel Swope
probably would have given a million
dollars or more to some charity in
Kansas CITY had he had time to
change mis- will, which was in pocket
of his coat hanging on the wall.

million and half dollars worth of
property which was bequeathed to no
one" said Mr.. Paxton "All the fam
lily shares in it, He believed he had
provided handsomely for all his rela-
tives and often talked of his desire
to give the city something big, but he
didn't know what it would be-"
An appraisement of the estate of
the late Colonel Swope has just been
completed, which shows 1t is worth
nearly $3,0O0,000. The valuation was
$1,600,O0O at the time the Swope will
was filed. Based on the new estimate
of the estates value, the requests Of
Colonel Swope follow:
Requests to Relatives.
Gertrude M Plunkett, a daughter of
Colonel Swopes sister, Mrs. Eliza
Plunkett of Nashville, Tenn, money
and property amounting to $4,000;
Felix Swope, a nephew, money and

Obituary

Annie Josephine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. c. w. Bennett was born March p, 1904, and died March 12, 1910.
 The grim reaper has again visited our midst and plucled one of the fairest buds of the home, to be transplanted in the great beyond. Little Josie as she was called was child that possessed an unusual amount of intelligence and displayed an aptness to learn that was won, derful for a child of her age, though not yet six years old. She had memorized a number of short recitations and nothing pleased her more than to recite her speech to papa or mamma.
 Little Josie was sick but a few days and her death came as a shock to all.
 Her remains were laid to rest in the Union Church grave yard The funeral services were con ducted by Bro. Downs.
 To the bereaved parents and relatives, we would say weep not, she is not dead but sleepeth, how low in humble submission to the will of one who is too wise to make a mistake and too good to do wrong.
 He who said suffer little child ren to come unto me, will also soothe pain casused by the breaking of love ties here on earth.
 Another link has been forged in the golden chain that anchors your bark on the golden shores, where families will be united and with the redeemed will sing praises to him who doth all things well.

neers and the public. The motive
for this insistent advocacy of the
earth fill type of reservoir by
Pratt is generally known, and the
motive is the same that has been
behind many other questionable
things that have come up in the
last year and a half under Pratt.
In finally killing the mud fill
reservoir, the city council, at a
special session called last night,
on the order Of the mayor, adopted
a set of resolutions cOndemning
the mud bank type Of reservoir for

further that the mayors plan
would mean the purchase of addi-

tract at this time meant litigation
with the former contractor, John
