tions, but, on the whole, substantial
progress was made toward bringing
the case to stage where it will be
transferred to the courts.
The reports of four physicians who
conducted post mortens examinations
on the bodies found in the ruins of
the Guinness home April % were
given out this morning. The proceed
ure in Indiana does not provide for
coroners' juries, so filing will be the
individual conclusion of Dr. C. S.
Mack. DR.. Mack today said that he
had no idea as to what his return
will be.
Prosecutor r. N. Smith is still col.
lecting evidence, which, he asserts
will connect Ray Lamphere with the
death of Mrs. Guinness and her three
children. 1t is possible that the case
against Lamphere may be presented
to the grand jury before the coroner's
jury reaches decision in the matter
An additional factor clinching the
Identification of one of the corpses as
that of Ole o. Budsberg of lola, Wis.
came to light during the day, when q
letter from the Farmers State bank
of that town was given to Coroner
Mack 1t contained the number o.

correspond with those of one of the
timepieces picked up in the debris o.

address before the national drainage

wealth of those sections and the
wealth of the country at large.
Senator Clapp expressed his firm
belief that legislation looking to the
| reclamation of swamp lands would
pass congress, and declared that hi
would give it his earnest support
Secretary Garfield outlined the worl
of his department with reference t.
reclaiming swamp lands and referred
to its preparedness to undertake tn
work if congress so provided.

Chairman Mann Talks Like
Paid Agent Of the

wood pulp and print paper question
When the committee adjourned today
John Norris, the representatives Of
the American Newspaper Publishers
association, announced that he had
finished his statement, but he will be
on the stand tomorrow, as members
of the committee desire to question
him. The. next witnesses to be exam.
ined probably will be the paper manu-
facturers.
Mr.. Norris today described the for
nation Of the International Paper Co.,
and. claimed that the cost of the manu-.
facture of paper is greater under the
consolidation than under individual
ownership of paper mills.
The committees request for the
contract which the New York Times
has with the paper company has beer
denied by the Times companyfi, and ir
this connection Chairman Mann tool
occasion to state that, while the
newspapers are insisting on speedy
action by congress on the question
under investigation, great majorit,

This raises question in his mind, hi
