suspicious or future plans, but MT. Pax ton was emphatic in his predictions that criminal proceedings would follow fmmed- lately after the return of the party to Kansas City. When pressed to name the person or persons under suspicion MT. Paxton absolutely refused to name any one.
 The report of the three doctors is the continuation of an examination of the or gans of the two dead men, which has last ed about three weeks. Drs. Haines and Hektoen started the investigation, but after it was well under way they called in Dr. Victor C. Vaughan. dean of the medical department of the University of Michigan. At the time Dr. Vaughan was called in, white powder had been found which was said to be strychnine, but the two toxicologists did not care to report 1t as such before consulting a third physi- cian pr. Vaughan said that he fully agreed with the other two physicians in the report.
 When told that Dr. B. c. Hyde of Kan sas City had brought suit against him to recover S100000 for alleged libel, MT. Paxton refused to discuss the matter.
 w. T. Johnson, the attorney represent ing Mrs. B. c. Hyde, was refused ad- mission to the conference. Mir Johnson came on today with the express purpose of being present when the report of the doctors was made.

PEONAGE CHARGES
 ARE SUSTAINED

Washington, January 3l.-Information in the possession of government, while not specific in detail, bears out the tale of fearful conditions existing on the Koppe plantation in Burleson county. Texas, resulting from peonage practices. Peonage Is a penitentary offense and viz orous efforts are being made to apprehend and bring to justice those responsible for the shocking state of affairs which 1t is declared has prevailed. Forty witnesses in all have or well be called to testify before the grand jury in Austin, which is Investigating the charges.
 The work will be completed early in the present week. indictments already have been found in several cases. The investi- cations by the federal government have been under way since November and com paints of peonage at places in Burleson county other than on the Koppe planta- ton will be looked into while allegations of a more general character of It's cxis- tence. in other places in the state have been brought to the attention of the gov ernment.
 The reports at hand describe the situa- ton on the Koppe plantation as a dis grace to civilization, and as pitiful, and speak of white and colored men and wom- en being housed together.
 Agents of the bureau of immigration of the department of justice are said to be working on the case.

 Continuing, Mrs. Hyde made the sig nificant statement that Chrisman Swope was taking medicine that he had obtained from a man in Kansas City, Kan. This medicine, she said, consist ed of white pills and was contained in an ordinary pillbox.
 Referring to the day on which she discovered that her brother was taking this medicine, Mrs. Hyde said:
 T pleaded with him to have Dr. Ivy man treat him and to take no more of those pills, but during all of Friday and part of Saturday I observed that he continued to take them. one every half hour. Friday aftsrnon he com plained of a most severe headache.

 T then insisted that my brother should cease taking the medicine and place himself under the care of pr. Twyman. My brother grew worse and in the absence of my mother I felt a grave responsibility and insisted upon him seeing Dr. Twymap. which he fn- ally consented to do. From that time until he passed away Dr. Twyman gave him the most careful attention. was
 
 Independence on this occasion and went there under great stress on account of my own illness. l would not have un- dertaken 1t if 1t had not been for the absence of my mother.
 My husband went to mothers house upon this occasion at my most earnest solicitation, and at a great personal sacrifice. I was at my husbands side during the entire time that he was at the house. I was familiar with his ev- cry movement and knew better than any other living person how cruel and unjust is any insinuation that he was responsible in the slightest degree of any of the unfortunate conditions that existed at my mothers house in Inde- pendence.
 Since the death of my father ten years ago my cousin Moss Hunton, up to the time of his death, was my mothers adviser. My brother Chris man was of shy and retiring disposi- tion and in the absence of my mother l think it is fair to say that I was the head of the family.
 The fact that I have been practi- cally cut off from communication with my mother for the past few weeks, may in itself have created an oppor- tnnity for misunderstanding and pre- vented an interchange of advice and mutual suggestion that would have gone a long ways toward clearing up this deplorable situation.
 Tt is lamentable fact that my mother never became thoroughly rec conciled to my marriage, which oc- cured nearly five years ago."

pr. Cline Denies Reports.

New Orleans, January 31.--State- ments to the effect that the United States weather bureau is desirous of curtailing the duties of the United States Photographic office are de- clared misleading and incorrect by pr. l. M. Cline, district weather forecaster at New Orleans. "On the contrary" said Dr. Cline, "the photographic of fee endeavored to have the meteoro- logical charts of the weather bureau abandoned and have Photographic charts substituted therefore. Such ac- ton would work positive injury to marine interests, as the weather bu- reau, with It's corps of professors and forecasters, is more competent to dis cuss the meteorological data and pub fish that which is of benefit to mari ners."
