SANTIAGO, Chile, Feb
ruary 12. The Pacific Nav

Lima is ashore on one of the
islands of tho Iluamblin
Passage, Straits of Magel

total loss.

with 188 men and women, and seven
teen of tho crow of tho stoamor Lima,
which is on tho rocks in tho west
Huamblin passage, Straits of Magellan,
where' the steamer went aground in the
storm of February 5. Steamer officials
report havine: left eighty-eight persons
aboard the Lima, their rescue being im
possible. Thoro was no drinking water,
tho tanks having burst. Tho first mate
of the Lima and fifty passengers were
drowned.
There seems somo doubt, according
to dispatches from Santiago and Ancud,
respectively, as to tho steamer which
rescued tho 205 persons, from the
stranded liner. Tho Hatumet i3 given
in the shipping register, while tho
steamer Strathurst is not listed there.
The stranded steamer Lima, is n Brit
ish vessel owned in Liverpool, and ply
ing between that port and ports of
South America. She was last reported
as mailing from liahia Hlanca, Argen
tina, January 20, and was on her way
to Chilean nnd Peruvian ports.
Tho Lima is 401 feet long, registers
3,115 tons and was built in Glasgow
iu 1907.
The place whero the steamer was
wrecked is probably llumblano passage,
located between tho south shore of San
Pedro island and Chile. It is a narrow
passage, full of dangers and difficult
of navigation. The llumblano Rocks,
two in number, sixty-five feet high,
mark the entrance to tho passage.

PRESIDENT SPEAKS
OF SCANDAL IH
NEW YORK
Admits That Situation for
Bribery Probing Looks
Rather Bad
NEW YORK, February 12. Prcbidcnt
Taft, sitting for an hour and a half to
day in conference with republican state
leaders, showed much concern in the
latest scandal the Conger-Allds
bribery nt Albany and on departing
confided to his intimates that tho "sit
uation looks very bad."
The president thus passively, nt least,
waded into tho troublous whirlpool of
New York state republican politics,
brought to an acute stage of lato by one
state senator against another.
Tho conferenco was held at the New
York residenco of Lloyd C. Grisconi,
former ambassador to Italy, but recent
ly elected president of tho New York
republican county committee, succeed
ing Herbert Parsons. Besides tho pres
ident and Mr. Griscom, thoro wcro pres
ent: Timothy L. Woodruff, stato chair
man; Sonator Depow, Governor Hughes,
James W. Wadsworth, speaker ot the
stato assembly, and Otto Baunard.
, Discussion contored almost solely on
tho Allds-Congcr case, involving tho
two loading proposals: whether the par
ty should investigate to tho limit, or,
if possible, smother it.
Tho concensus of opinion appeared
to be to probo to tho bottom regardless
of results.
Thero had been a rumor that a de
mand had been made for tho resigna
tion of Stato Chairman Woodruff. 'Mr.
Woodruff, asked about this, said:
"Wo talked about nothing but the-
Allds case. No call was made upon
mo to resign ana yon can quote me as
saying so. I will not say that I shall
conduct tho next campaign, but I shall
be chairman until tho next stato con
vention." - ' '

Whether a girl could firo seven suc

termine whether Bessie Wheeler com
mitted suicide or was murdered. She
was found dead in her room at Daven

fired the shots herself; Dr. H. W. Gates,

ALASKAN DELEGATE ACCUSES
W1CKERSUAM OF LOBBY WORK
Says Work of the Major Is
in Interest of Private
Railroad Builders
WASHINGTON, D. C, February 12.
v Delegate Wickersham of Alaska has
replied to a letter from Secrotary of
War Dickinson, repeating and elaborat
ing on the charges agajnst Major W.
P. Richardson, U. S. A., of lobbying bo
foro congress for tho benefit of private
interests.
Pointing out tho various alleged dis
crepancies in Major Richardson's expla
nation to Secretary Dickinsbn, Mr.
Wickersham insists that tho former
caused to bo introduced in congress a
bill containing fa provision allowing
railroadtf built in Alaska to receive
5,000 ucres of coal land as subsidy, to
gether with a guaranty of prior con
struction account clauses.
Ho says the bill was drayn by attor
neys and lobbyists for the Alaska Cent-,

MORE POISONING
IS CHARGED TO
OR. HYDE
Tale Told of Deadly Drug
Found in Stomach of Miss
Margaret Swope
DRAMATIC INCIDENT
WHEN NURSES QUIT
Paxton Openly Accuses Dr.
Hyde of Being the Mur
derer of Colonel Swope
KANSAS CITY, February 12. That
poison had been found in tho contents
of tho stomach of Miss Margaret H.
Swope, and that Chrisman Swope went
into convulsions, according to Mis'
Anno Houlihan, his nurse, a few min-.
utes after she had given him a capsule
at the direction of Dr. B. C. Hyde,
were two startling statements made un
der oath by John G. PaxtOn, executor
of the Swope estate today.
These new and important features in
tho Swope mystery were revealed by
Mr. Paxton only after he had been
threatened with committment if he re
fused to answer the questions xiskcd
him by Frank P. Walsh, Dr. Hyde's
attorney.
Mr. Paxton was giving his deposition
in a slander suit for $100,000 brought
against him" by Dr. Hyde.
Miss Swope is n niece of tho Jate
Colonel Thomas H. Swope. December 1
she was stricken with typhoid fever.
Dr. Ifyde cared for her.
"Poison was found in marked quan
tities in the contents of Miss Swope 's
stomach by Dr. Victor Vaughn," said
Mr. Paxton. ,
Attorney Walsh eagerly demanded of
tho witness: "Did anyone tell you of
any medicine that Dr. Hyde gave to
Chrisman Swope?"
"T do not remember the exact
words," answered Mr. Paxton, "but
Miss Houlihan told me Dr. Hyde had
given her a capsulo to give to Chris
man Swope. She gave the capsule and
a few minutes later he went into con
vulsions. ' '
The story of the stormy sceno in Hio
Swope homestead on December IS.
when the nurses threatened to leave if
Dr. Hyde was not dismissed and aonth-.
cr physician obtained to care for the ill
members of the family, was told by
Mr. Paxton. He told of the value of
the suspicions of the nurses, which
eventually led up to an open break be
tween them and Mrs. Logan O. Swope.
It appeared that Miss Houlihan was
the leader of the insurrection. Just be
fore leaving she turned to Mrs. Swope;
according to Mr. Paxton, and said:
"People are being murdered in this
house. ' '
Tho departure of Dr. Hyde and his
wife from the home followed amid a
tearful scene. Accusations were mado
regarding the physician. His wife, in
the house of her mother, stood firmly
by him as she was turned away from
her parental doors.
"Who did you mean when you said in
that letter that the murderer of Colonel
Swope should be brought to justice?"
was asked.
"I meant Dr. Hyde," said Mr. Pax
ton. of a 5,000 aero coal land subsidy from
a resolution passed by tho American
mining congress. He says tho Richard
son bill had the effect of making tho
government say: "The coal subsidy,
guaranty on construction and on exemp
tion of taxation, and all other aids to
railroad building in Alaska aro ex
hausted," after two roads built for pri
vat einterests to reach tho coal and cop
per mines had been constructed.
"I again assert, upon evidence,"
says Mr. Wickersham, "that in the
matter of railway commission and leg
islative council bills, Major Richardson
engaged in lobbying in the most offen
sive and dangerous ways In tho singlo
interest of tho Alaska Central and Cop
per River & Northwestern railroads,
and their promoters and owners."
