NURSE TO TESTIFY
IN SWOPE TRIAL
Full Secrets of Bleak House
to Be Revealed Soon.

Kansas City, Feb. 1.-THE Swope home.
Bleak House, of Independence, is 10 re-
veal its full secret.
When the grand jurors meets tomorrow
they will hear the whole story. The
shielding curtain. which was rolled back
for a moment inethe coroner's inquest
and which laid bare in a passing glance
the details of the death of Col. Swope, IS
to be torn aside. and the recital Of veiled
accusation in the death OF Chrisman
Swope and in the typhoid epidemic is to
be heard by the twelve men summoned
by Judge Latshaw.
4 score Of witnesses have been sub
poenaed, and weird win be the stories re-
lated behind the closed doors of the
grand jury room. The investigation IS
TO start with the first peculiar circum-
stances and go through the weeks of
suspicion and dread to the verdict Of the
coroner's jury Wednesday.
It was asserted to-day that the grand
the circumstances surrounding Chrisman
Swopes death than to probe further the
inquiry into the manner and cause Of
death Of his uncle And again it will
be a nurse who will give the important
testimony. In the hands Of the Swope
attorneys Is the sworn statement of this
nurse Miss Houlehan.
This statement is even as dramatic as
the story related by Miss Pearl Keilar
on the witness stand. It tells of her be-
ing summoned to the Swope home 10
care for Chrisman Swope. who was
stricken with typhoid. The nurse de-
scribes minutely the symptoms, those Of
the ordinary typhoid patient, the high
fever and the irregular pulse; and then
it tells of the convulsIons in which Chris
man Swope died.
At an appraisement Of the estate OF
Thomas H. Swope to determine how much
Inheritance tax must be paid by the heirs,
it was learned to-day that the philan-
thropists holdings amounted to more
than $3,5O00OO OF this more than 100000
is taxable, and it will take more than
the s151, 900 personal property to pay the

HEARD LINCOLN
IN FAMOUS PLEA
Foreman of Murder Jury
Last of that Body TO Die.

Boone, Iowa, Feb. l1.-NIiIton Logan. sr.,
foreman and sole survivor Of the famous
Armstrong murder jury before which
Abraham Lincoln used an almanac with
moonlight schedule to free a man
charged with murder al Readstown, III,
died here to-day aged ninety years.
The trial in which Lincoln resorted to
the use of the almanac was that Of
Buff Armstrong. a negro accused OF
the murder of James Hotzker. Lincoln
was a stanch believer in the innocence
Of the accused and wrote a letter TO the
mans mother in which he expressed that
opinion. In this letter he offered his
legal services gratis in return for kind
nesses shown when in adverse circum-
stances.
In response to Lincoln's questioning
the accusing witness declared that the
fatal thrust was made between and 10
o'clock in the evening. The witness also
declared he was positive the man did the
deed because his vision was clear owing
to the bright moonlight. In reviewing the
testimony Lincoln called attention to the
discrepancy in the statements OF the
witness which he showed to be incon-
sstent.
And he testlfes." Lincoln exclaimed.
that the moon was shining brightly
when the deed was perpetrated, when the
moon didn't appear on that night, as
your honor's almanac will show, until an
hour or more later and, consequently,
the whole story is a fabrication"

ARRIVES.
Washington in the Clutches of Old
fashioned Blizzard.

+ Washington this morning is IN the
clutches Of a severe storm.
Snow started falling about 7 O'clock last
night, and in short time the ground was
covered. 1t was not long before the storm
developed into an old-fashioned blizzard.
wind sweeping around corners at a fast
clip, almost carrying pedestrians of their
feet
At o'clock the storm seriously inter-
fered with the street car service, although
traffic was not delayed to any great ex-
tent. Single cars were put in service on
the + street and Georgetown lines and
on other lines where the trailer is ordi-
narily used.
At midnight the wind had subsidized. but
snow was still falling
The storm of last night deveIOped on
Wednesday in the Gulf of Mexico. but did
not reach the Atlantic seaboard until
yesterday. 1t gathered considerable force
and turned up in Alabama, much 10 the
surprise of the natives and the weather
experts. The general direction OF the
storm is nOrtheasterly, and it IS sure TO
conform to general storm laws and move
along the lines predicted.
After midnight it grew warmer and a
rain, mixed with sleet, began falling at
e-ciock this morning.
A dispatch received from Atlantic CITY
states that from Boston 10 the Virginia
Capes the storm has reached the pro-
portions of blizzard. The temperature
is still high, however, and hopes are ex-
pressed that the storm will turn to rain
Government life savers are keeping a
close watch for lost vessels which NAV
strike the shoals in the storm. A rIsin,
gale IS making the blizzard extremely
dangerous to deep sea craft.

Princeton, n. j.. Feb n.-By action OF
It's trustees Princeton University has lost.
! beyond hope of reclatming, the Proctor
gift Of $4,000 for graduate hall. The
manner of using the Swan beQuest OF
$500.CcO for the same purpose is more
matter of doubt than ever, and there
are threats Of withdrawal of financial
support by both the Wilson and West
factions. But-the real dispute that has
the entire university by the ears to-day is
not about money. whether it be in terms
Of thousands or millions.
The issue is Wilson or West.
Supporters Of both the president and
the dean of the graduate school admit
that one Of them is likely to retire. This
retirement is looked for within the next
six months as confidently as is the COM
ing Of commencement next June. So far
as President Wilson is concerned. retire
ment would mean his leaving Princeton
altogether. Dean West could relieve the
situation by merely surrendering his
deanshlp and retaining his chair in
Latin
Fighting for a Principle.
But Dean West has no idea Of surren-
dering, and President Wilson is fighting,
not for his place but for principle that
he has advocated and which his enemies /
have opposed bitterly for the last three !
years Enemy is not too strong a word |
to tit the situation. A really bitter per-
sonal fight is in progress.
President Wilson issnot fighting for his |
salary or his personal position. He has |
even said that the mere keeping Of the |
presidency was a matter Of supreme in |
difference TO him. He has received offers |
recently from both the universities Of |
Michigan and Minnesota.
Pressure Upon President Wilson.
Recently he was made a director Of the |
Mutual Life Insurance Company Of New |
ark. He has been considered seriously as |
the successor to Grover Cleveland in the !
insurance committee Craftsmanship. which l
the ex-Prssident held. and which carries
q salary Of S25,O0O a year. Furthermore.
there are many Democrats who want |
Woodrow Wilson to run first for the gov
ernorship OF New Jersey and afterward /
for the Presidency of the United States
While the action of the trustees was
nomnally unanimous Endorsement OF /
the President in the Proctor matter, Il is 1
looked upon merely as a truce.
The difference between president and /
dean are described variously. Younger /
men among the alumni who resent VII /
