Kansas City, Jan. 15.-If the suspic- ions concerning the deaths of Thomas H. Swope, millionaire, and Chrisnan Swope, his nephew, are, well founded, they were the victims of a poison plot. The man who mpassed the deaths. if they resulted from design, called on science to aid him, since evidence has been produced to show that he admin istered to his victims the germs of ty- phoid fever as well 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. It 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 or the aged millionaire's will. The in vestigation into the deaths is engag- ing the attention of the attorneys for the Swope estate, among them John H. Atwood, one of the Vests most prominent lawyers and Democratic poll iticianS.

Worst Snow Storm In 20
 Years Trains Are Stalled
 Fears Entertained for Dredge = Crew of Dis abled Ship Barely Saved
Especial from United Press.)


 Boston, Jan. 15-The first marine accident of the present blizzard was reported from Block Island where a sixty mile gale is flashing the Sound. The fishing sloop Oracle from Marble head, carrying a crew of four men, was hurled high and dry on the beach at Old Harbor.
 The men jumped from the stranded sloop and finally made their way through the surf to safety. They were nearl exhausted and had the hardest part of the trip before them. They were forced to crawl on hands and knees over marshes of broken ice covered with IS inches of snow.
 The men were sighted by United States Life Savers, who took them to the New Shoreham station where they were revived. The Oracle was dam- aged but slightly, but it is a ques- ton if she can be refloated.
 Woods Hole, Mass, Jan. 15.--Cape Cod today is in the midst of the worst snowstorm of 20 years. At Nantucket Bay the wind is blowing 80 miles an hour and is accompanied by a blind ing snowstorm. Last night the train from Boston to Provincetown had not reached it's destination. It is stalled at NOfIn IfuFO WiLu IfelSnt tFdiH which started from Provincetown for Boston. The morning train from Him anis to Boston, got as far as Buz- gard Bay where it also is stalled. The Woods Hole train is stalled between Cattaumet and Pocarsett.
 The tide is as high as that of the Christmas storm. The roads are so badly drifted as to be impossible. There are some fears for the dredge working in the Cape Cod canal but nothing has been heard from there.
 The Nantucket boat is at Woods Hole, the Vineyard boat at New Bed ford. There is big fleet in the Vine yard Haven and all seem to be hold ing on well.
