USED GERMS TO POISON AJFATtHLY Charged That Typhoid Germs .Were Given to Family to Exterminate Them TWO ALREADY DEAD Far-reaching riot Originated bjr Onp Who ExpeotMl to Become Sole Uen efk'iary of Large Kstntc if His Scheme Had Worked Successfully. Man Went to the State Bacteriolo gist and Obtained the Germs ind in a Short While Whole Family Was Taken Sick Also Vsed poison Authorities Are Investi gating the Deaths. (By Leased Wire to ThP Timfis.) Kansas City, Mo.. Jan. 14 A far reachlng plot, supposed to have been originated by one expected to become sole beneficiary of the Swope mil lions is declared to have resulted in the deaths of Thomas H. Swope on October 3, and iiis nephew, Chrisman Swope, in December. T,he charge is made by attorneys representing the Swope estate. The body of Colonel Swope was exaumed Tuesday and taken to In dependence. An autopsy was held and the stomach sent to a toxicologist of national reputation in Chicago to be analyzed in the expectation of the discovery of traces of poison. Suspicion of murder was aroused at the sudden death of Chrisman Swope. An autopsy was held, the stomach was removed and a thor ough examination made. The stom ach is now in Chicago, where it is be ing analyzed by a commission of em inent chemists and toxicologists. The plot is declared to have been planned with deliberation and to have had for its purpose the extermi nation of Swope heirs. Snortly be fore Chrisman Swope's death, it is ance visited the offlce of the bat- terlologist of Kansas City and ob tained typhoid germs November -10. His first visit to the Swope homsjn Independence was on' Thanksgiving toay. It was only a week after this that Chrisman Swope became ill with the contagion. When it was found that Chrisman Swope would probably .-' recover it is believed stryciine was given to him to make sure Wf his death. The death of Chrisman Swope, fol " lowing so close after the fatal illness of Colonel Swope immediately arous ed the suspicions of the family. Mrs. Logan Swope was taken down with typhoid fever early in De cember. In rapid succession other members of the family became ill of the same malady. They follow in chronological order: December 2, Margaret Swope. December 4, Miss Dixon tne gov erness. A negro servant by the name of Coppige. Miss Compton, the seamstress. December 5, Stuart Fleming. December 9, Sarah Swope, 14 - years old. December 11, Stella Swope. December 22, Lucy Lee. The investigation whica resulted in these startling disclosures was " largely at the instance of tae nurses employed in the Swope home during the illness of Chrisman Swope. The man suspected is now under ' the espionage ,day and night, of Ave private detectives employed by the 5 Swopes. The Governor Talks (Continued From Page One) , much more should wealthy, independ ent, high spirited people spurn such proffered opportunities to sue a sor- ereign state to aid the ulterior pur- , . poses of those who give to gain, who , ' extend an offering with the left that . they may reap with the right hand.' I will not criticize Rhode- Island, for I believe when full information-, is . disclosed it will be seen that her ppo pie have been duped as were ours ' when the fraudulent bonds were ne gotiated. If she has acted with full information, it merely shows how dif ferently great people may view a matter from different standpoints. "North Carolina is willing and able to pay her just debts. She is no - " pauper.' She is great and rich and ln v' creasing her wealth every year. She ' is going forward in every line of In dustry with, rapid strides. Her peo ple will regret litigation .with her sister state, Rhode Island, to whom . ,she never made a debt, but she will to the utmost of her ability, resist ' every effort on the part of any to com ' pel her ' to pay the 'Special Tax Bonds'." - In most houses there is always a cook Controversy.

So Says a Raleigh Dispatch to the Greensboro Record If True the Wilson Officials Are Not Wise- to the Fact. (Special to The Times.) Wilson, N. C.i Jan. 14 Lender the above caption the Greensboro Record of Tuesday last Bays: - "Raleigh dispatch, Jan. 18: It Is found that nickels are being counter- ieuea somewnere near ynsun, nuu in a very clever way. .A year ago, ulu .i,,.v v-o-o j- business, but they then made dol lars. This time they are trying smaller game." The above may be true, but if so, the matter has been kept a profpund secret. Police headquarters, the sher iff's ofSce and several magistrates have been Interviewed by this corre spondent, besides many citizens, but all say the item is news to them. The last time that anything happened in tnis section that had the least semb lance of counterfeiting was about eight years ago, (when a party was convicted for raising one dollar bills to tens. The party who sent out the dispatch from Raleigh undoubtedly got his location mixed up. j flat WILMINGTON WANTS CHANGE IN RATES . ; : (Special to The . Times.) Wilmington, Jan. H-At one of the mft Important; mee'yrtgs in , recent months of the Wilmington chamber of Commerce held yesterday afternoon, a concerted and vigorous movement was ft.ii ted to secure for this i;ty re lief froivf the present freight rates in force which are regarded a oppressive and discriminatory. The railroads from which relief Is sought are the Atlantic Const T.lne and the Seaboard Air Line Railways. It Is ,t.he intention of the Chamber of Commerce' : to i.rggoeutc this matter vigorously and to secure the desired relief if it is poslllo to do so. This matter was brought to ajiead as a result o'f a communication from Captain Raii I. Rrown. in charge .of the Cnited Sti'tes engimei's offlee for this district. He requested inforiff. atlon as to terminal and tnwisfcr fai UltieK at ihis poll, and an indication as to the rntat" raillcy as' tn develop ment of same, tin- il. -ind iiifMrmatim bi iiig an iniiini taMt factor in I he propo sition to sei uie a " foot channel for the fane. FVar River. President Taylor, of the chamber, made a : -stroiis sneech in which he cillieized 'the two railroads unmerci fully. He .staled that the Clyde line, which has a line of steamers u this port, has shown good faith but that the railroads had not acted ilo the same manner. He cited the fact that lb" same rat" exists fiom New York via Norfolk in .-points'.' like Olarlilon. Wallace, ele. as via Wilmington, and that this suite of affairs was not only u great injustice to Wilmington lint to the entire state for which it is de sired to make this city a gateway port, with freight rates and facilities -.the same as and e!Uiv:il"iit to Norfolk. Charleston, Savannah, and other points now favored by transportation lines as asain.st Wilminj't'H. A strong resolution was adopted by the chamber stating that the joint freight, tariff between the railroads and the Clyde line is entirely inadequate to develop the Commerce of the port and requesting that the adjustment be made on a realignment that will recognize Wilmington as a port of entry. . The .President Treats of Re sources (Coiffinticd From Page One) the sovernmonr long since ceased by reason of statues of limitations." . Later ptH.ret.uring to thjs illegal holding of lands rightfully the na tions, and referring specifically, al though without-mention of names, to the lands involved in the Ballin-ger-Pinchot dispute the Cunning ham Alaskan coal lands claims he said: "The Investigations into violations of the public lands laws and the pros ecution of land frauds have been, vig orously continued under my admin istration, as has been the withdrawal of coal lands for classification and valuation and the temporary with holding of power sites." The present statutes, except those that relate to purely agricultural lands or those containing precious metals, are, says the president, "not adapted to carry Out the modern view of the be,st disposition- of public, lands to. private ownership." . Turning: to the new laws he -believes necessary, he declares that it is the duty of congress to validate the withdrawals which have been made by the secretary of the in terior and the president and to auth orize the secretary temporarily to withdraw lands pending submission to congress of recommendations as to legislation to meet conditions or emergencies as they arise. "One of the most pressing needs of public land reform," he says, "is that lands should be classified according to their principal value or use." It was on this point that the Bai-linger-Pinchot row hung,, as the for mer chief forester maintained that the government's conduct in the liti gation over "the Cunningham claims was intended to .thwart, the United States'fj'om securing the full value of the Alaskan, coal claims, which the claimants wished to secure at a nom inal value not based on their coal value strictly. The means for accomplishing this end, holds the president is througa the interior department and its branch, the" geolof!Bl -'gu'rvey ,-- "Much of the confusion, fraud and contention which has existed in the past has arisen from lack of an offic- al and determinative classification," asserts the message. . . .. . . . The proposal of the president to apply to Alaska as well as to i.e United States, is that aericiiltnral lands be disposed of as such, coal, oil, asphaltum, natural gaa.aad phos- phete pr0perties being resePved.

This is Tit timely interest in Connection with tae protest of the United States to Ger many regarding the latter's proposed law regulating the production of phosphates. .. The prevention of a water trust is possible, says the message, by setting the term of control of "water sites by private capital at thirty years and providing in, the leases by the govern ment against a monopoly. Tae pres ident would have renewal privileges give, but declares that while the gov ernment retains control competition must be maintained and prices' kept reasonable. ' "The importance of the maintain ance of our forests cannot be exag gerated," Air. Taft holds, pointing out i hat the national reserves com prise 190,000,000 acres. He urges scientific care, to increase their pro duction of lumber without reducing the supply on the ground. The president recommends the continuation of the OUio river deep ening, whica is expected to cost $0;!, 000,000. The president states the work can be done, in ten years, and says that 4f necessary he will late recommend bonds to carry on tae project." He also demands the con tinued improvement of the Mississ. ippi from St. Paul to St. Louis to a six-foot depth, and of the Missouri from Kansas City to St. Louis to six feet and from St. 'Louis to Cairo, to eight feet. The depth may be in creased if results warrant it, he says ln the r,vers and 'harbors bill the President recommends provision for eontinuing tracts for the inrprove- uieius. STORM IX NORTHEAST.
