"KI-ECTIO.Y REMIT AX.\Ot.\CED
The board also formally announced
rhe results of the water bond election
of December 30. An ordinance was
unanimously passed to print setting
forth that at the election the people
authorized a bond issue of $45,000,000
for the Lake Eleanor and Toulumne
river water supply system, including a
complete transmission and' distribution
system, and that the authorization for
the purchase of the entir| Spring Val
ley plant failed of receiving the neces
sary two-thirds vote.
The public utilities committee gave
a general invitation to board members
to join in an excursion down Market
street from Fifth to the ferry this
morning at 10 o'clock, at the instance
of the United Railroads in a car
equipped with a fender of the "San
Mateo" type. The railroad's purpose
is to show that the forward reaching
fender will interfere at turns and at
the ferry loop with foot passenger
iraffic to a dangerous extent, arid that
the board should relieve the company
of the expense and necessity of in
stalling the new lifeguards on all its
cars. (
\VJI,I, XOT APPEAL LIQUOR CASE
The board refused to prosecute an
appeal from Judge Seawell'p decision
That the ordinance requiring, dance
halls to have a *pecial liquor license
was illegal; included false calls for
an ambulance in the acts penalized In
the ordinance which has prohibited
fM«e fire alarms and patrol wagon
• \u25a0alls, and notified all the municipal de
partments to submit their estimates for
supplies and stationery during the next
fiscal year by March 1.
Supervisor Bancroft reported to the
board that a bonus had been promised
Dyer brothers as well as a penalty
exacted of $50 per day in the terms of
their contract to build the hall of jus
tice. This removes a legal obstacle
bin ted at by Mayor McCarthy at a
former session against collecting the
fine which the firm has Incurred by- its
• iolay \in completing the job. which
Bancroft said was the worst neg-ligence
known to him in the course of munici
pal contracting.
The board awarded amateur boxing
permits to the South Side club for
February 4: Pacific oiub. February 11,
and the West End club February 18.
The board adjourned to meet tonight
at 8 o'clock to take up the water rates
Investigation.
Manson Appraises Water Plant
City Engineer Marsden Manson has
computed the value of the Spring Val
ley plant for rate fixing purposes for
the present year at $25,398,572.56. This
estimate was made yesterday for the
board of supervisors to be used an a
basis for adjusting th« charges to con-
Fumers. The city engineer ellminales
nil property not now in use and makes
no allowance for franchise or "going
concern" value.
The figure was reached by taking
$25,154,739.32, the appraisement for
1909, and adding thereto some $244,000
for the improvements made during the
year.
The board of supervisors will hold
the first hearing tonight" preliminary
to establishing the rates for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1910.

COOPER'S FOLLOWERS GIVE
REASON FOR THEIR BELIEF
With a; theory that human health is
dependent on the stomach and with a
medicine which he says proves this
theory, "L. T. Cooper, 'a comparatively
young man, has built up an Immense
following during* the past year.
Cooper has visited most of the lead-
ing cities. of the country, and in each
city has aroused a storm of discussion
about his beliefs and , : his" medicines.
Wherever he has gone, people have
called" upon.' him , by tens of thousands,
and his preparation has sold in im-
mense quantities. V
The sale of .. this medicine' has now
spread over the entire country, and is
growing enormously each day. In view

POISON FOUND IN
ORGANS OF SWOPE
Eminent Authorities Agree; That
Strychnine Was Adminis
tered Late Millionaire
Dr. Hyde of Kansas City Sues
Nephew of Dead Man for
$100,000 for Slander
CHICAGO, Jan.' 31.— Strychnine was
found "throughout the viscera of the
late Colonel Thomas H. * Swope, the
Kansas City millionaire, according to a
report made by Drs. Walter S. Haynes,
Ludwig . Ilektoen and. Victor C
Vaughn to John C. Paxton, executor of
the Swope estate, here, today., .
: The same poison Is also believed to
have been found in the liver of Chris
man" Swope, a nephew of Colonel
Swope, but it was announced that
the examination of his organs had not
been completed to the ' satisfaction of
the toxicologists and would be con
tinued.,
\u25a0 Those present at the conference here
today * besides Paxton, Conkling and
the three doctors were Attorney James
A: Reed, an". associate of Paxton in the
Swope estate; Coroner E. F. Swart of
Kansas City,! and Thomas H. Swope, a
nephew: of. the dead millionaire.
Paxton* and Thomas Swope were
greatly agitated: by the report. Swope
would, "make no' statement concerning
his suspicions or future plans, but Pax
ton was emphatic in his predictions
that criminal prosecution would follow
on the return of the party to Kansas
City. • When pressed to name the per
son or pei sons under suspicion Paxton
refused to name any one.
The report of. the three doctors fol
lows Xn examination of the organs of
the two dead men which has lasted
about three weeks.
Doctors Haynes and Hektoen started
the investigation, but after it was well
under way they called in Dr. Victor C.
Vaughn, dean of the medical depart
ment of the University of Michigan. At
the time Doctor Vaughn was called in
a white powder had been found which
was said to be strychnine, but the two
toxicologists did not care to report It
as such without the corroboration of a
third person.
Doctor Vaughan said today that he
fully agreed with the other two physi
cians In the report, '-j -
W. T. Johnson, an attorney repre
senting Mrs. B. C. Hyde, was refused
admission to the conference. Johnson
came here today to be present when
the report of the "doctors was made.
Dr. Hyde Files Three Suits
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 31. — Dr. B. C.«
Hyde of this city instituted suit today
against Thomas H. Swope, nephew of
the dead millionaire, for $100,000 for
alleged slander in connection with the
suspicious death of Colonel Swope.
Doctor Hyde also filed suits against
an attorney and two physicians con
nected with the investigation for sums
aggregating J700.000.
The first suit filed was against At
torney General John G. Paxton, execu
tor of the Swope estate. Slander is al
leged. Doctor Hyde charges that Pax
ton openly declared the physician had
poisoned Thomas H. and Chrlsman
Swope, causing thefr deaths. Punitive
damages of $50,000 are asked in this
suit.
Paxton, Dr. Frank J. Hall, a bacte
riologist, and Dr. Edward I-. Stewart
are named as defendants in the second
suit, which Is for $600,000. Hyde al
leges these men made defamatory
statements regarding him in connec
tion with the Swope deaths.
EUROPEAN SCIENTIST
DECLARES HENS THINK
Experiments to Test Memory
of Feathered Creatures
If the average man were asked if
hens had any memory he would prob
ably say, "No," says the St. L.oulß Post-
Dispatch, but he would be' wrong, ac
cording to the experiments of two Ger
man scientists. The plan they adopted
was to gum 20 grains of rice on a piece
of carboard, and between them to place
10 grains of loose corn. At first the
hens, of «-ourse, pecked at both rice and
corn, but soon they learned to leave the
rice alone, thus very clearly .showing:,
according to the scientists, that -they
remembered the rice was stuck down.
A very remarkable point about the
experiment was that the longer the
time between the trials the better was
the hen's memory. When the experi
ments were made consecutively It took
them six times to learn that the rice
was not worth touching, but when the
experiments were made at intervals of
an hour they learned the lesson at the
third try, thus showing, It is claimed,
not only that they had memories, but
that they thought the matter over in
the intervals.'- :;

habit. In his wild state he never barks,
but whines and howls.

try the Cooper • remedies, whJch were
then being demonstrated in Los "An-
geles. He stated that to his •personal
knowledge they had been of great bene-
fit to others 'in a like condition, and
on, the strength of his recommendation
I procured a treatment of Cooper's
New ' Discovery.'
"It proved heipful from the first dose,
and In less than a week I was eating
regularly and heartily, without experi-
encing any bad effects afterward. Since
taking the full treatment I am perfectly
wen and enjoy living for the first time
in:* many months. Now I can eat a
heavy supper, then go to bed andsleep
like a healthy boy. I feel so, well that
I can, hardly realize I am the same man.

ANXIETY PREVAILS
AMONG POLICEMEN
Postponement of Expected Ax
Swinging Affects Peace
Guardians' Nerves
Wall's Appointment as Head of
Detective Force May Be,
Announced Today
The expected swinging of the ax by
Chief Martin did npt take place yester
day, but. has been postponed till to
morrow, when the spirit of unrest that
prevails- in the department will receive
its quietus. The chief declines to give
out any .hint as to the contemplated
-changes, but it is conceded that there
will, be a shaking up that for its mag
nitude has not been equaled at any
period in the history of the depart
ment.
Almost the entire time of the chief
has', been taken up with callers who
congratulated him on his appointment.
Among them have been several former
members of the department, most of
whom were dismissed for violating the
rules or resigned under pressure. If
they expect to be reinstated their,
chances are very slim.
It is considered probable that Cap
tain Wall's appointment as head of the
detective bureau will be announced
after the meeting of the police com
mission this afternoon. The changes
among. the detective sergeants will be
postponed until he assumes office. That
there will 'be almost a clean sweep is
the general belief and some of those
who were decapitated .by Chief Biggy
will, it is said, be reinstated. .
