Over—Much Work Yet.
KANSAS CITY, Feb. 21.—To deter-
ilno, If possible, the cause of the ty-
hold fevar epidemic that attacked the
iwope household, the grand Jury now
ivestlgatlng the mystery will begin the
xamlnatlon of witnesses probably to.
,iorrow.
The first «tep toward driving Into the
ever angle of the case was taken today
Vhen Miss nclle Dickson, a governess,
nd Miss Georgia Compton, a seamstress
vere subpoenaed to appear before th#
nqulsltorlal body tomorrow. Both wo-'
nen were employed In the Swope home
nd were stricken with typhoid.
It was thought at least one of these
vltncBses would bo examined today, but
,s the testimony of Miss Margaret and
%frs. Ix>gan O. Swope was longer than
u d been expected, neither Miss Dickson
or Miss Compton was called.
The grand jury Is Bald to have prac-
ically completed Its Inquiry Into the
leaths of Thomas IT. and Chrlsman
Swope. The reports of the three
Chicago scientists who examined the
,'lscerns of the two men. was the most
mportant testimony heard regarding
this phrase of the case. If a further In-
vestigation of the vital organs of the
lead men reveal highly Important evi-
dence the grand Jury will be notified by
the scientists. But It Is generally ac-
cepted that the Inquiry in so far ns
poison Is concerned Is at an end.
Prosecutor Virgil Conkllng said today
he believed the grand jury would be In
session for another week.
An agreement whereby Mrs Logan O.

stormy session between attorneys rep-

the taking of the deposition. Miss Mar-
garet Swope and Miss Lucy Leo Swope

WASHINGTON, Fob. 21 —In more than
fifty decisions, the supremo court of the
I'nlted States today passed on the ad-
ministration of justice as it appeared In
the lower federal courts and state tribun-
als In more than half the states In the
Union. Many state laws were declared
unconstitutional and more upheld, and
the laws of the United States given a
final intrepretation.
The Importance of state railroad laws
decided exceeded any other line of eases.
The state of Minnesota won a complete
victory over the Great Northern Hallway
company and the Chicago Great Western
Railway company which had resisted the
state's attempt to levy a 4 per cent gross
earnings tax on them.
The state of South Carolina likewise
won a victory over railroads when the
court odopted the view of the supreme
court of South Carolina that the law re-
quiring railroads to pay a penalty of $50
for failure to adjust within 90 days claims
for losses, applied only to Intrastate traf-
fic.
The state of Kansas came out vic-
torious In its fight with the Missouri
Pacific Railroad company for the Instal-
lation of separate passenger trains on h
branch -\iad from Madison. Kansas, to
the Kansas-Missouri state line. It was
In this case that the court onnounced the
doctrine that reaches every state, that
even If this passenger train was operated
at a loss th • railroad was under a duty
to perform such serlvce as long as It
retained Its charter.
The state of Alabama had its statute
levying an annual franchise tax on for-
eign corporations declared unconstltutlon_
al. Railroads brought the case to the su-
preme court.
The state of Georgia lost In most of
Its contentions in the attempt to levy on
the Georgia Railroad and Banking com-
pany property and franchise taxes des-
pite charter exemptions.

Bowel Tonic
For Old Folks
Free
No matter how sound and healthy
old people arc they still suffer with
their bowels. The machinery of the
system doesn't work as it did when
they were young and active. But
while you can't restore youth you can
help age to live more pleasantly.
That a laxative is needed every little
While by people as they get around fifty
and beyond, there is no doubt, but it
is Important which laxative is taken.
Old people, women and all, except those
who are in the prime of life, should
avoid anything that gives a shock to
the system and which at best Is but ■
temporary expedient. Among these are
pills and cathartic tablets, salts and
purgative waters. They are too strong
and only do temporary good. Not only
that, but they really bind tho bowels
next day.
What you want Is something that will
regulate the bowels and again get them
in the habit of performing a certain
function at a certain time, while at the
same tlmo toning and strengthening the
muscles of tho stomach and bowels. Such
a remedy Is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep-
sin, and If you have never used It let
tho doctor send you a sample bottle
free of charge. In this way you can try
it without cost. All druggists sell it at
fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, and
those who have used It will continue to
buy It. It Is pleasant to take, very ef-
fective and very economical as a house-
hold remedy, an all the family can use
it. But Dr. Caldwell is eager to have
all readers unacquainted with it to send
for a free aample.
Thousands of old people and heads of
families are never withQUt It. for In this
way they cure and avoid constipation,
liver trouble. Indigestion, sour stomach.
■Ick headache, sleepiness after eating
belching and similar stomach, liver and
bowel disturbances. Mrs. TUlle Homan,
404 Wautanga street. Knoxvllle. Tenn.,
and T. H Marshall. Nail. Okla.. as well
as thousands of others, attribute much
of their present good health to this
grand laxative tonic.
Dr. Caldwell personally will be pleased
to give you any medical advice you may
desire for yourself or family pertaining to
the stomach, liver or bowels absolutely
free of churge. Explain your case In a
letter and he will reply to you in detail.
For the free sample simply send your
name and address on a postal card or
otherwise. For either request the doctor's
address ij Pr. W. B. Caldwell, R.511 Cald-

and to the house and senate committees
the interstate commerce commission has
suggested certain changes in the Inter-
state commerce measure now pending In
congress.
The bill as a whole is approved by tho
commission.
However, the commission recommends
•'that the bill be so amended as to ob-
tain the explicit statement that the com-
merce court shall have no jurisdiction or
power over orders of the commission not
now possessed by the circuit courts of
the UniMrl States.
"We are of the opinion that a single
judge of the commerce court should not
be empowered to stay an order of the
commission," and the suggestion Is made
that such a stay may be granted only
by the court "or a majority of the
judges thereof."
Concerning the purchase of one road
by another road, the commission says:
"We see no reason why the prohibi-
tion tlmt one road shall not acquire any
interest In a competing road should not
bo extended so as to prohibit the ac-
quiring of any interest in a competltlng
water line." and an amendment is sug-
gested to include water lines.
A similar amendment is supposed to
prevent the control of competing lines
by a holding company.

STRIKE BREAKERS ARRIVE.
Five carloads of strike-breakers
reached here tonight and were loaded
on trolley cars at the Pennsylvania
railroad station in West Philadelphia
and taken to car barns in that sec-
tion. A large squad of mounted police
escorted the cars and prevented a
threatened demonstration by a mob of
several thousand which had assembled.
Trouble is expected following the use
of these men on the cars tomorrow.
This company claimed 700 cars were
In operation today but the pickets
watching the car barns reported only
124 cars in operatiton, and that nine
crews of strike-breakers that left the
Frankfort barns today had deserted
their cars.
All cars were withdrawn at 6 o'clock
tonight, the company stating It did
not desire to endanger the lives of its
employes.
RIOTS IN HEART OF CITY.
Rioting the very heart of the bus-
iness section of the city, the attempt-
ed burning of another car, and many
petty attacks by strike sympathl:
led the police officials to enlarge their
force by every expedient and to con-
sider the calling out of the state mi-
litia. The arrest of leader Pratt also
caused a sensation and resulted In re
newed rumors of a general sympathet
ic strike of all the 100,000 union men
in this city.
The first serious disturbance of the
day occurred in tho center of the city
in front of the Reading terminal sta-
tion, within a stone's throw of the
central police station. As a car
proceeding out Market street, a small
boy jerked the trolley pole from the
wire, causing a block of cars.
A pile of building material on the
street provided ammunition for the
lawless element and soon the stand-
ings cars were showered with bricks
and other missiles. An attempt was
made to nrrest the leader of tho thous-
and of idlers who had gathered in the
vicinity. In the meantime a wagon
of an electric company had been robbed
of Incandescent lamp globes which were
used as missiles which exploded with
pistol-like reports. Workmen on the
roofs of nearby buildings joined In the
bombardment.
THOUGHT IT WAS D.YNAMITE.
The exploding lamps startled tho
timid and there was a mad rush to
seek safety, as the cry went tip that
dynamite whs being used to tear up
tho tracks.
After a battle of nearly an hour the
police finally drove the rioters bnck
and the cars proceeded on their way
with scarcely a whole light of glass

One of the most serious outbreaks
occurred In the northeastern mill dis-
trict, where all traffic was suspend-
ed early th- day. William Malo-
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—President
Taft today accepted an Invitation to at-
tend the trans-Mlsslsslppl congress to
bo held in San Antonio, Texas, next
November. The invitation was extended
by Ike T. Pryor, of San Antonio, presi-
dent of the congress. Mr. Taft hopes
to spend a few days on his brother's
ranch near Son Antonio during his trip
to Texas.
The president also accepted today an
invitation to be the personnel guest of
Governor Hughes, of New York, at Al-
bany, March 19 and 2*1. This is the first
time In many years a president has thua
visited a governor.
Mr. Taft's visit to Albany will be made
the occasion for a further conference of
the republican leaders regarding tha
political situation in that state.

ings to relieve t'ne overcrowded condi-
tions in the city schools was discussed
last nlgnt at an adjo^in^d mating of the
school board.
Members of the board did not agree
on any plan and the matter was de-
ferred to an adjournel meeting on Feb.
ruary 26.
It Is reported that the schools have 10C
intending pupils that can no\ be accom-
modated, and the number Is steadily in-
creasing. until even temporary rooms
rented to meet t'ne overflow are lmomc-
ticable. The board has decided to watt
until a full agreeinen can be reached
and then erect a permanent building that
will be more than large enough for the
present needs.
The question of engaging new teacher*,
was discussed last night, but It was re.
ferred to the adjourned meeting. How-
ever. a committee was empowered to en-
gage an extra teacher for the manual
trninlng department at a salary not to
exceed $100 per month. No selection was
announced.
One of the eolorei teachers reported
that the colored teachers were compell-
ed to discount their warrants and the
committee on finance was Instructed to
look after the matter and report at the
next meeting.

SALT LAKE, Feb. 21.—A sequel to
the senatlonal killing of former United
States Senator Arthur L. Brown, in
Washington, 1>. C., December 8, 1900,
begun here today In a court action by
which Mrs. Anna M. Bradley seeks to
have her two children dec'ared legal and
equal heirs in the division of property-
left by Brown, estimated to be worth
$100,000.
In his will. Brown disavowed paternity
of Mrs. Bradley's children. The will is
attacked on the ground that the testator
was unduly influenced and mentally in-
competent at the time the will was
drawn.
After an intimate relationship of nine
years, Frown was shot and killed by
Mrs. Bradley, who was acquitted.

ney, said to be a strike-breaker from
t'W York, had his skull fractured with
brick.
Dynamite caps were used by strike
sympathisers in many sections of the
city but did not cause serious damage.
ATTEMPT TO BURN CAR.
After stopping a car with one of
these explosives, the mob attempted
to set the car on fire. A squad of
policemen with loaded revolvers dis-
persed the mob, but not until Edward
Morgan, the conductor, had been badly
beaten. Although five thousand per-
sons were in the crowd, only about
five arrests were made.
Feeling that the police were too
sympathetic with the strikers and
strike sympathizers In their home lo-
calities, a general shifting of t
force was ordered tonight by Dire
tor of Public Safely Clay.
TAKES ROBBER AWAY.
A curious incident in the situation
developed by the strike occurred this
afternoon when a man charged with
robbing a jewelry store who was being
arrested by a policeman, was taken
from the officer by a mob of strike
sympathisers. When tho prisoner at-
tempted to escape the policeman drew
his revolver and shot him In the leg.
While th« damage done to the prop-
erty of the Rapid Transit company to-
day was not ns great as yesterday,
the temper of tho rioters was no less
bitter. The extra force of policemen
seemed to have a deterrent effect on
the strike sympathisers in many sec-
tions of the city.
MAYOR DETERMINED.
In a statement issued tonight Mayor
Revburn said that the public would be
protected even If the whole police force
of the city and of the state had to be
called upon.

Until Today—Ask Increase of

KANSAS CITY. Feb. 21.—The d -
sire of too many delegates to address
the meeting at the same time caused
300 miners who had been sent here
to make plans for a demand for an in
crease in wages to adjourn until to
morrow without making any headway.
The miners represent local organi-
zations of the United Mine Workers
of America in Oklahoma. Texas, Ar-
kansas, Missouri and Kansas.
A committee uf inlne owners and op-
erators will be here tomorrow for tho
purpose of conferring with a commit-
tee from the minors' organization. It
is expected that the committee will
be chosen by the miners' delegates in
the morning.
Forty-five thousand men will be af-
fected bj whatever action is taken.
It Is thought that the demand will be
for an Increase of about ten cents a
ton. This would mean an Increase
from $2.r.6 to $2.90 a day.
