vreeland gill in the House.

Washington, May 15.-By a majority
Of 80 the currency bill adopted by the
republicans in conference early in the
week went thru the house yesterday
afternoon. 1t will go to the senate
as new measure, to be amended as
that body sees fit, passed, and sent
to conference.
The measure provides for the issue
of circulating notes on securities, In
Guiding commercial paper, deposited
with clearing house associations of not
less than ten banks each, and for q
commission of eighteen members to
investigate the causes Of the recent
financial panic and make recommends
tions to congress concerning the need
ed change in the existing currency
law.
A special rule for the consideration
of the vreeland bill was adopted early
in the day, allowing the afternoon for
debate and the privilege of offering
one amendment. Up to one minute
from the time of closing the debate
that privilege was supposed to go to
the democrats, to give them an oppor-
tlnity to expend their voting powers
on any measure they saw fit.
1t was learned that the democratic
floor leader, Mr.. Williams, in taking
advantage of this opportunity, did not
intend to offer his own currency meas
ure, the bill for government issues of
emergency currency which was in
dorsed by William j. Bryan. in pub
lished statements and utterances, not
being so sure himself that the meas
ure as reported by the minority Of the
committee on banking and currency,
was in such shape that the democrats
would like to go before the country
in a record vote on 1t.
He was preparing to offer the F'ow-
ler currency bill as substitute for the
Vreeland bill and thus discomfit the re-
publicans, when the tables were sud-
denly turned and the democrats found
themselves floundering around in the
worst legislative morass they had
waded into in many day. Representa-
tive Kahn of California, republican,
was given the last minute of the de-
bate on; the measure, and he closed his
remarks by tossing out the Williams
bill and boldly Offering it as a substi
tute for the Vreeland bill.
1t was gall and wormwood for the
democrats, for If there was anything in
the world they We're not desirous Of
doing at that moment it was putting
themselves on record concerning the
Williams bill. And yet, if they did not
vote in favor of the substitute that
Representative Kahn offered, they
would be running counter to the tenets
of Bryan.
Mr.. Williams and the rest of the
democrats were plainly at their wits
end, while the republicans howled in
gee. Mr. Williams rushed down the
aisle and demanded recognition for a
parliamentary inquiry.

Preliminary Work of/survey for Pro.

Special to Times-Republican.
Eldora. May 15.-G. w. Scott, OF Chi

Iowa Electric Railroad, and w. d.
Ball, assistant engineer, also of Chi
cago, arrived in Eldora Tuesday, and
have been at work on the prelimin-
ary work Of the survey. Within week
they are to have ten assistants here
to help them in the actual surveying
Of the proposed route.
At first many looked upon the pro-

ready to admit that the promoters
mean nothing but business. The latter
part of last week, Vice President
Treasurer ]. f. Hardin was invited to
Cedar Fails to speak at business
mems banquet, where over 300 men
were present, discussing the proposed
road. At the close of his address, q
special committee from the CONNER
cial club was appointed to confer with
the officers thereof, and to assist in
helping along the enterprise. Since the
announcement thru the press regarding
the banquet to be given in Eldora by
the Business Mems club to the officers
Of the road, letters have been received
from twelve different towns, asking

the people of Hubbard strenuously OBJ
jected to the road coming their way,
fearing taxation and loss Of trade to
their business men, but Of late they
have so radically changed their minds
that intense rivalry exists between
Radcliffe and Hubbard as to which

successive years.
The chief engineer proposes the
construction of road bed equal to the
best steam roads, and therefore 1t will
be first class in every respect. The
road will have it's own right-of- way,
as 1t is to do big business in freight,
and will run trains at too high rate
of speed to make use Of the present
highways. The road from Eldora to
Ames will be constructed first, and put
in operation before construction east
ward is taken up. The most difficult
proposition on the entire route will
be the building of bridge across the
Iowa river east OF Eldora, the present
estimation for the building Of the
bridge being $250,000.
Officers Of the road are sanguine that
they will have it in operation inside
Of eight months.

Bones of Head Found in Ruins
OF Home, Believed to Be
Those Of Mrs. Guinness
JAW IDENTIFIED sY DENTIST
Evidence Partially Clears Up Mystery
and Will Aid Coroner in Bringing in
Verdict That Will be Definite Pros
ecutien Pleased At Progress Made.

La Porte, Ind, May 15.-"There Is no
question but what the piece OF 1awDone
found in the Guinness farm house ruins
Yesterday is from a human being.
Furthermore, it bears a strong re-
semblance to the lower jaw of Mrs,
Guinness"
This positive statement of identif-
cation was made today by Dentist NOR
ton, who performed large amount OF
work on the teeth Of the owner of the
death farm, after he had examined
the specimen brought to him by the
coroner.
The bones Of contention in the Cum
ness tragedy-the bones of the missing
head Of the murdered murderess -
were found yesterday in the fire ruin
of the country house of horror.
After sitting the ashes In the base
ment. Sheriff Shutter discovered a
portion of the lower Jaw bone. Sec
ton of the upper jaw and a piece OF
the scalp covered with singed and
matted hair.
This find, the authorities and coro-
ner's medical commissioners assert
clears up the mystery as to the iden-
tification of Mrs. Guinness. The dis
puted corpse is the corpse of Mrs.
Guinness, in the opinion of the majori-
ty.
Notwithstanding all the evidence
the ring found on the fingers OF the
burned woman, the finding OF the
charred bones of the head, with pieces
OF the vertebrae of the neck showing
that the head was burned and not
chopped off, and the satisfactory de-
scription of the doctors as to the size
Of the corpse-it is probable that Cor
oner Mack will return an open yerdicl
as to the death Of Mrs. Guinness and
her three children.
Prosecuting Attorney r. N. Smith is
much exercised over the probability OF
a coroner's verdict that the decedents
met death from an unknown cause and
that the Identification of the bodies has
not been established. Influence is De-
ing brought to bear on the coroner
to secure a verdict which at least Will
include identification of the bodies.
If the verdict is left an open one
the case for the prosecution Will be
difficult one. To begin with. the state
will be compelled to prove that the
bodies were those of Mrs. Guinness and
her children before they may proceed
successfully with the prosecution Of
Ray Lamphere, accused OF arson and
murder in the nrst degree.
