Roats Of Bnrnt Civ.

In many localities the absence OF
gravel or even stone for crushing
makes the good road problem diff
cult one to solve. Many plans for
making roads have been tried in the
absence OF these articles, but usu-
ally the road turns out to be a mud
road after ALL Down in Missouri ex-
periments are being made with burnt
clay roads, and according to reports
fair roads can be made of this MAJ
terial. The first test OF clay roads
was made at st. Louis during the
exposition. The clay was burned and
hauled on the road and while a good
road was produced 1t was too exp4n-
sive to be practical. In Mississippi
they are burning the clay right on the
road and obviating the hauling. Tho
road is graded, plowed very deeply
and furrowed crosswise. Cordwood
Is piled Iengthwise to form ilues. Two
or three layers Of smaller wood are
piled above with layers Of clay be-
tween the pieces Of wood, and the
chunks of clay diminishing in size
toward the top and being placed just
close enough to allow air currents
through the whole pile Six incnes
Of burnt clay was made in this man-
ner after leveling and rolling. THIS
road is said to be free from dust ana
not to hold water.

Coal Transportation Profits.

According to contemporary the
coal trade alone supplies our rail-
ways, as a whole, with traffic to the
extent Of over 100000 tons per
week, and mineral traffic, as a whole,
supplies the railways Of the United
Kingdom with revenue to the extent
Of considerably over half million
sterling a week.--Engineer.

GETS fine PROMOTION
Hammond Man Climbs the
Ladder and Friends
Are Glad.

Mr.. ]. B. L. Kinds, shop accountant
of the Chicago, Indiana & Southern
Railroad company, with headquarters at
the new general office of the Chicago,
Indiana & Southern railroad and Indi-
ana Harbor Belt railroad at Gibson,
Ind, has been appointed by the Cleve-
land auditing department as shop ac-
countant also of the Indiana Harbor
Belt railroad and will care for the ac-
counts of the two companies, report
ing to the Cleveland offe. 1t is said
that Mr.. Kinds takes over about fifteen
men who were formerly with Auditor
John Stewart, who recently left the
service and which change was men
toned in the columns of THE TIMES
This gives Mr.. Kinds a force of about
thirty men who will care for the de-
tailed accounting for the locomotive
store. car and transportation depart
ments of both companies.
Mr.. Kinds is resident of Hammond
living with his family on Doty street
and his many friends in this city wish
him we1f~ is his new position of in
creased responsibility. He came to this
city in the early part of 1906, from
Kankakee, ILL.,, where he was formerly
in the employ of the old Three Eye
railroad as chief clerk to Master Me-
chanic Flavin, who is the present mas
ter mechanic of the Chicago, Indiana &
Southern and Indiana Harbor Belt rail
roads.

perts. who have examined it and com
pared their findings with figures taken
from the records of the Minnesota peni-
tentiary at Saltwater. Two officials
of the Michigan City prison performed
this work yesterday, and Edward A.
Evans of the Chicago police identiica-
tion bureau did similar work today
Both reports were to the effect that it
was the body of HelgeIein, and on this
convincing evidence the coroner or
dered A. Cutler, the mortician who has
had charge of the corpse. to turn it
over to Fred Pitner, with whom Helge-
leins brother had left 5000 to defray
the expenses of the funeral
The identification or the piece of Jaw
bone taken from the ruins of the Gun
ness farmhouse as a portion of Mrs
Guinness skull bears out most conclus-
lively the contentious of the state re-
garding the identity of the bodies
found in the cellar on April 2S. It is
the clinching bit of evidence. which
should set at rest all rumors that Mrs.
Guinness had escaped.
Some relics showing that Mrs. Gun-
ness had made a study of surgical lore
were picked up in the ruins TODAY.
Charred leaves Of books, on which suf-
f1cient print remained to show that the
folfos were devoted to anatomy. were
found. Another ruined book was a
treatise on hypnotism.
Charles Edmonds. a former empIoye
of Mrs. Guinness. who was supposed to
have been one of her victims, was found
today. He has been working at a farm
only few miles away from the Gun
ness place.
Coroner Mack again delayed return
ing his verdict on the Guinness bodies
today. He said tonight that he is not
at all certain as to when he will make
formal return of his findings The re-
port Is not necessary for the pur-
poses of the state. so far as the grand
jury proceedings next week are con-
cerned. nor is the nature of the verdict
of supreme Importance.

new DEVELOPMENTS IN
GUINNESS MURDER CASE

The most interesting development in
the Guinness murder case at Laporte
is the mysterious report that comes
from a little western town in the
vicinity of Los Angeles, in which it is
stated that nuns in a convent there
have discovered that a girl who came
to them some time ago under peculiar
circumstances bears a likeness to Jen-
ME Olson. Prosecutor Smith will in
vestigate this story.
Nun Tells Strange Story.
A nun has confided the story OF a
strange girl in the convent to him
through a letter He has refused to
show the letter to anyone, but is
quietly conducting an investigation
which he believes will produce the girl
within a few weeks.
The letter comes from small town
in California. 1t is near Los Angeles.
Papers seldom get there, and for this
reason the sisters were long in finding
out about the Guinness case. When
they did learn of it they wrote here.

pupllSn0u OL OlSOil
The popular belief that Andrew Hell
gelein was the last man murdered by
Mrs. Helge1ein has been somewhat
shaken by a letter received today. 1t
is from Mrs. NJ. Price of Walnut Hills,
Cincinnati. o. Her brother came here
on Feb. 5. 1908, with a large amount
of money.
He disappeared. and has not been
heard from.
The first of the Guinness victim to be
inferred with Christian rites was
buried today in Patton's cemetery, on
the outskirts of Laporte- The corpse
was that of Andrew x. Helgelein of
Mansfield, S. D., the last man to meet
his death in the trap to which Mrs
Guinness lured her victims.
The body was released for burial last
evening after Coroner Mack had re-
ceived the reports of the Bertillion ex-

WIN. RILEY IS DEAD
Former West Hammond
Justice Of the Peace Dies
in Minnesota.

The remains of William Riley, former
justice OF the peace of West Hammond
who died in Minneapolis yesterday, are
expected to arrive in Hammond either
this evening or tomorrow.
Judge Riley left for Minneapolis sew
eral weeks ago to visit his brother
with intentions of asking him for help
and get work. In the meantime he was

Plummer avenue, and is said to be in
very destitute circumstances. There
are seven children, six girls and one
boy who is only twenty two months old
The oldest daughter is Is years old and
has been thrown out of work, and for
the present there is absolutely no in
come to the family.
The mother has tried hard to find a
little work for herself or one of the
children, but has been unsuccessful
Those who know the family express
much sympathy for them since they arc
very respectable and merely the vic
tins of unfortunate circumstances.

The officials of the city of Gary yes
tcrday authorized Chief of Police Martin
to prevent the Chicago, Lake Shore &
South Bend interurban line from cross
ing Broadway. The work of laying the
rails on this line was made temporary
until the company and the officials of
the road come to an understanding and
the work will then proceed.
The reason given by the Gary board
for its action is the fact that on ac-
count of the great congestion Of traffic
at this point the crossing will be dan
gerous The tracks of the Chicag go,
Lake Shore South Bend line cross
Broadway at a point very near the sub
way, under the elevated tracks of the
Lake Shore and B. & o. railroads, which
