TRIAL Of LANPHERE
BEGINS IN LAPORTE
Court Room Greets
Alleged Slayer of Mrs.
Belle Guinness.

LAPORTE. Ind, Nov. 9-The court
room was crowded today when the case
Of Ray Lamphere. on trial for the muir
der OF Mrs. Belle Guinness and her three
children Lamphere appeared extremely
nervous as he walked 10 a seat behind
his attorney, William H Worden.
Lamphere made ap exaggerated bow
TO Prosecuting Attorney Smith as he
took his seat
A clash occurred between the State
and the defense almost before the first
juror had been asked half a dozen cues
uons. Henry Mil. a retired farmer Of
Central township, was the first to be
examined He was questioned by At
torney Smith as 10 whether or not ne
had read about the case vbetbar Ia
had been Influenced in his opinions by
the reading, and lastly whether he had
been led TO form an opinion as to
whether he had been LEI 10 form an
opinion as 10 whether Mrs. Guinness
was alive or dead
IN An instant Attorney yorde1 v-sz
on his feet
THAT is an improper question. vour
Eonor." he shouted.
THE prosecuting attorney has M
right to ask this juror anything exceDt
as 20 whether he has formed an onfnion
on the guilt or innocence Of the ac-
Cused."
Prosecutions Claims.
Attorney Smith argued that the nos
lton Of the defnce was absurd.
The hrst thing we have TO prove
here your honor, she said. els the fact
that someone is dead. I contend thar
the matter Of whether Mrs. Guinness is
living or dead Is one that have a per-
feet right 10 so into"
The court ruled the question sd7,fssf-
bic, and the first clash i'm the lannon's
case subsidized.
The first move after court 0paDa5 mas
the exclusion Of all witnesses from r7a
courtroom, and here the defense scored
point when on the motion of the
l't,5sS uSol an witnesses were ordered
excluded from the trial
Attorney Smith read the list ~
SIate.s witnesses and they were sworn.

were called for. Attorney W0rden para

Regular Panel.
The twelve men in the box constf-

It is considered unlikely that more
than one or two jurors at the most will
be obtained today.
The difficulty of the task confronted
IN securing a jury was made apparent
in the first two hours Of Interrogation.
the result being that six men were ex-
cused because they believed Mrs. Gun
ness TO be alive and were obviously I'M
fit to try Lamphere for his life on a
charge OF having murdered her.
Joseph MaXSOn. who 5siSted in dig
ging one of the holes In which bodies
were found, said 80 per cent of the
people of LapOrte county believe Mrs.
Guinness is still alive.
The attorneys interested declare that
ii would not be surprising If the case
had 20 be tried outside of LapOrte
county.

To Eat or Not 70 Eat7

That much mooted question, wheth

their days at home crops up as sure
ly as the season comes around. The
pros and cons are discussed and al
ways the debate ends in do as vol

OF trouble to do without refreshments
but the lack of seeming hospitality Il
painful to some hostesses and they
are willing to undertake the eating
OF the crowd and SO earn the right tC
laugh at many amusing incidents that
always follow the rush to the re
freshmen table. And the one who
remembers Washington "befo' the

ministraton Will show open disapprov
al at the offer of "a cup OF tea" In
stead of salad and punch.
But the capital has grown ever
since the days when the late William
c. Whitney was secretary of the navy
and provided champagne and terra,
pin for Mrs. Whitney's callers on
Wednesdays. and when Mrs John G..
Carlisle offered hot biscuits and home
made salad with the hospitality OF
Kentucky. Such provision of food
would be impossible now. II would
be like turning ones house into a res.
taurant except for the receipts. So II
remains to be seen what January will
bring forth, for the official receptions
will not begin until after the new

CARE OF THE sILvERwARE.
Only a Little Trouble to Keep Il In
Perfect Condition.

Shining silver upon snowy linen is
beautiful, but 1t takes trouble to keep
it in good condition. The furnishing
of silver does not by any means indi.
cate that 1t is of poor quality; on the
contrary the finer the silver the more
quickly it becomes discolored
Silver kept in room with open gas
burners or coal stoves keeps its bril-
liancy for short time only. Tarnish,
ing can be prevented by having the
pieces lacquered; but the lacquer.
though servceable for ornamental
pieces and toilet articles, cannot be
used on the table service. The lac.
quered ware can be kept in excellent
condition simply by busting it lightly
and carefully and about once month
wiping it with a soft slightly dampened
cloth. Never allow these pieces to
become wet.
The silver that Is used daily can be
kept in excellent condition by wash,
ing thoroughly in soft warm water
and soap every day. All such silver
should be washed we'll every second
week In doing this be careful not to
put several pieces in the pan together.
for this causes dents and scratches
Rain water or water that has been
boiled is the best to use. Make
heavy suds with pure soap and add
few tablespoonfuls of ammonia. A
soft sponge Is most suitable for wash,
ing silver, and a fine brush may be EN-
ployed on the chased pieces or around
the handles
After washing the silver we'll In the
ammonia suds rinse in clear cold wa
ter and let it stand for a few min
utes. If any polishing is necessary il
can be done at this time Common
whiting, wet with alcohol and rubbed
on with a soft flannel, makes an ok
cellent polish. After polishing wash
well again.
Finally dip all the pieces in a bath
of boiling water and dry with a very
soft cloth. This last dip in the clear
boiling water does much to prevent
further oxidation
