talked OF confession of Mrs. Claudia
L.. Hams, which, 1t is alleged, unbal.
anced the mind OF her husband, Cap

an effort to prevent the trial OF T..
Jenkins Hains being called for three
months The court will set the date
Of trial next Monday.
The confession of Mrs. Hains was
short. 1t was made on May 80. It Is
remarkable, inasmuch as 1t absolves
Annis In way.

ment, says that one month after the
departure of the captain from Fort
Hamilton she made marked advances
to Annis. That she was successful is
told In the remainder Of the confes-
sion
The documen. cites the number of

about them. The church was burned.

phere, the farmland accused Of muir
dering Mrs. Belle Guinness and her
three children by setting fire to their
home, wept in court when the spec
tators, indignant ut the revelations
made by witnesses for the prosecu-
ton, shouted out angry threats against
him.
Several witnesses testified that Lam
phere made numerous threats against
Mrs. Belle Guinness. Through these
witnesses Prosecutor Smith tried to
prove that a strong motive existed for
Lamphere to annoy Mrs. Guinness and
that this alleged annoyance terminal
ed on the morning Of April % in Lam
phere setting fire to the Guinness house
and burning the murderess and her
children.
The love affairs of Mrs. Guinness and
Lamphere were told by William Sla-
ter, and his testimony tended to veri-
fly the states contention that it was
because Of the falling out between the
two that Lamphere sought to harm
his former sweetheart and mistress.
The relations between Lamphere and
Mrs. Guinness as described by Slater
caused a demonstration in the crowd
ed courtroom, which was packed to
suffocation, while hundreds hung
around the outside unable to gain ad-
mittance.
Peter Colson said he left the en-
plOyment of Mrs. Guinness because he
had been infatuated with her, but
later he became suspicious, and, fear
ing her, he concluded to get away. He
said he had been suspicious of the
woman since the death of her hus-
band, Peter GtaEess f1e said Lam
phere had threatened to get even with
Mrs. Guinness, who had turned Lam
phere down for Helgelein.
The troubles of Lamphere and Mrs.
Guinness, as shown by the records of

in evidence. The court records show

peace action and proceedings to have
Lamphere adjudged insane, all insti-

sign if he did not give up his personal
policy in government affairs, the en-
peror yielded completely.
''It was the bitterest hour Of my
life,' Emperor William said wearily
after the conference had ended.
Another effect of the kaiser's history
making interview with Won Bulow is
the effectual Quenching of almost the
last flicker of the medieval torch of
divine right.
Bluntly and almost brutally the
chancellor told William III. that he
must capitulate to the demand of the
German race people, who required of
him that he would in future refrain
from unwarranted meddling with the
affairs Of the state and practically
leave the conduct of the public bust
ness Of the country in the hands of
his ministers and the reichstag.
The conference was perhaps the
most momentous of the kaiser's reign.
All Germany heaved a sigh of relief
when it was announced that the en-
peror had yielded satisfactorily and
completely.
Had the emperor stood firm even his
fawning courtiers were afraid to fore.
cast the outcome, for it would have
precipitated direct clash between the
emperor and the empire.
The meeting between the chancellor
who In this instance acted as the tri
bune Of the people rather than the rep
resentative of his ruler, and the kaiser
was dramatic in the extreme.
Worn and nervous and with none OF
the old defiance that he used to fash
in every look, the kaiser listened tC
the unvarnished truth boldly and mer
cilessly related.
Public opinion everywhere applauds
the emperor's decision, and where
twenty-four hours ago there was gen
eral revilement of him he is the object
Of greater esteem than at any othel
time in his life.

BRYAN MAY RUN AGAIN.
Says He Won't Decide Until Time
Comes to Act.

Comes TO ACT.
San Antonio, Tex, Nov. 1S.-In an
swer to the direct question "Will you
run for the presidency again if condi-
tions arise to warrant it?" William J.
Bryan said:
my friends do not require me to
prejudge the future. 1 shall continue
to write and speak in defense of things
which I believe to be good for the
American people. hope it may never
become necessary to run for office
again, but 1 will not attempt to decide
that question until the time comes to
act. I do not see any necessity to say
more on the subject.
81 am not at all discouraged as to
the future of the Democratic party.
There must be a Democratic party in
every country, and 1 want our party to
be Democratic, and 1 have no doubt
that the country will see the necessity
for the adoption Of the reforms advo.
Gated by the Democratic party. 1t is
already great educational force, and
have no doubt that conditions will SC
indicate the party as to make the
voters turn to 1t as the best instrument
for the accomplishment Of the neces.

dam Rockefeller, John d. Archbold
and James A. Moffett-have received
notices to appear.
Testimony Of technical nature re-
garding the pipe line service of the
company prevented the calling Of any
Of the Standard Oil heads, and the
spectators were disappointed. There
is strong probability that John d.
Rockefeller may take the stand to-
morrow morning, for it is expected
that by that time the prosecution and
the defense will have finished with
the present witnesses. The four prom
inent witnesses will not appear in
court until the defense is ready to put
them on the stand.
Morris Rosenthal, senior counsel for
the Standard Oil company, will ex-
anime John D. Rockefeller on the
stand. Then Special Attorney Frank
Kellogg will conduct the cross exami-
nation, which is expected to be the
most interesting feature of the entire
hearing. The defense will aim to Sc
cure from Mr.. Rockefeller the early
history Of the Standard Oil company.
Great leeway is granted to Mr.. Kel-
logg in the cross examination, as he
is permitted to ask any questions he
deems important to the case. Referee
Ferris will not have the power to pass
upon the legal points involved when
the lawyers for the defense make OBJ
jections, and the witness will be COM
PEELED to answer and rest content with
the objection Of his counsel noted ON
the records, subject to being stricken
out later. If Mr.. Rockefeller should
refuse to answer on advice of counsel
Referee Ferris probable course would
be to apply to a federal Judge for a
ruling on the point involved.
j. w. Vandegrift, general manager
Of the Southern Pipe Line company,
and e. w. Schroeder, professor Of hy-
draulios at Cornell university, were
called by the defense to prove scien,
tifcally the intermixtures Of oils
varying specific gravities when ru
through the same pipes, one following
or preceding the other. The defenA
introduced this evidence to substal
tiOte the testimony Of the Oklahoma
and Pennsylvania oil producers, who
claim that to make the pipe liAeb con-
mon carriers would be neither pr6e-
ticable nor profitable.

PRAISES Y. W. G. A.
Says No Movement Better Deserves
Support of People.

support OF feoPle,
Washington, Nov. 18.--"I doubt II
there is a movement among the move
ments that one can broadly term phi
lanthropic, in the country which bet
ter deserves the interest and support
of our people than the movement for
Young Women's Christian associa-
tions."
Thus spoke President Roosevelt to
a gathering Of young women of Wash
tngton who called at the White House
on the presidents invitation to receive
his congratulations ON the splendid
work being done by the Young Wo-
mems Christian association.
"There has been in the past" con-
tinued the president, "a tendency to
do more for young men than for
young women. I remember twenty
FIVE years ago, being very much
struck, in New York, at time when
had some connection with work on
the east side, with the fact that there
was so much more opportunity for a
young man without friends in the city
to get q place for himself, to escape
temptation, to receive aid, than there
was for young woman; that too Of
ten there was no chance for the young
woman who came to the city to re-
ceive help and have the human SYM
pathy which she so much needed"
The president then reviewed the
work being done by the Young Wo-
mems Christian associations. Con-
tinuing, he said:
This association is peculiarly to be
commended for the way in which it
works in harmony with all other bod
les. You have striven to make your
work part of the general helpful work
Of the community. You try to work
in connection with the various church
es Of all denominations, to help hand
in hand with them. You try to work
in connection with the other philan-
thrOpic organizations. do not know
an influence which has a greater need
and which has juster warrant for
asking outsiders to help it than this"
