ALLEGED VICTIM
OF POISON PLOT
Death Of Kansas City Million
aire 10 Be PrObed.

Kansas City, Jan. 15.-The family,
friends and attorneys of the Swope
family expect sensational develop
ments to follow the analysis by toxi
cologists of the stomachs of the late
Colonel Thomas H. Swope and his
nephew, Chrisman Swope.
Colonel Swope, millionaire philan.
thropist, whose bonefactions to Kan.
sas City, including Swope park,
amount to more than $1,500,000, died
Dec. 3, the cause of death being given
as apoplexy.
The sudden death of Chrisman
Swope in December aroused suspicion
which led to the examination of Colo.
mel Swope's body and ali autopsy
showed, according to information given
out by the attorneys for the estate,
that all organs, including the brain,
were in normal condition. A slight
trace of typhoid baccilli was found.
Lawyers believe that expert exami-
nation of the stomach will prove that
Colonel Swope was poisoned and they
declare that they have evidence of a
plot to kill all of the heirs to the
Swope estate, estimated at $3,000,000,
by incubation with typhoid fever
germs.
Shortly before Chrisman Swope's
death, it is charged, man visited q
bacteriologist and secured some ty.
phoid germs. With these deadly bac.
cilli, those pushing the matter believe
he hoped to inocul4tc the members
of the Gwc.a o fa1-.ly.

Bearing the Invitation to the Ex-
President-Minority Leader Predicts
Democratic House in Next Congress.
Washington, Jan. 17.-Champ Clark,
the minority leader of the house, re-
turned to the capital after ten days of
speechmaking in Missouri and the Mid
die West and spread cheering predic-
tions of sweeping Democratic victory
in the congressional election this fall
He prophesied a Democratic house of
representatives
Mr.. Clark said he found a thriving
spirit of Democracy in Ohio and Mis-
souri, and other places where he visit
ed. In Missouri he predicted the Re-
publicans would be wiped off the
map" He declared that dissatisfac-
tion with Republican rule was never
SO widespread as now and that the
next house of representatives would
be Democratic 'as sure as anything in
the world"
Mr. Clark brought with him from
Kansas City an interesting story of
the departure of a certain gentleman
few days ago for Africa. The 'trav-
eler, representing practically all of the
commercial bodies of the West and
Middle West, is to invite Colonel
Roosevelt to land at San Francisco up
on his return to the United States and
cross the continent from west to east.
Such procession across the coun.
try would be the greatest show seen
on this earth since the morning stars
first sang together" said the Demo.
cratic leader in characteristic Ian.
guage.
Mr.. Clark recalled that President
Grant had done much the same thing
and said that IL Grant had landed at
San Francisco at more opportune
time no power could have prevented
the generals nomination for the presi
dency for third term.
