BEING DRIVEN
TO SEA IN A
POWER BOAT
Three New Brunswick Men Pick.
ed Up by the Tug Reliance OFT
Brighton Beach.
TRIED TO REACH THE RARTAN

New York, May S:-Three men
who had been rescued while being
carried out to sea in disabled
launch were brought to Stapleton,
Staten Island, yesterday. Two Of the
men were In semi-conscious condi-
tion from exposure when their res
cuer, Captain L. d. Potter, of the
tugboat Reliance, reached them off
Brighton Beach about dayhreak yes
terday morning
The rescued men are John and
william Schmidt, brothers, and
Charles Schroeder, all of New Bruins
wick, N. j. They put out in their
naphtha launch from Shad Creek, l.,
l., at midnight last night, intending
to return to New Brunswick.
Everything went well until they
reached the lower bay, when the
continual pounding of the heavy sea
put their engine out of gear and the
little boat was at the mercy OF wind
and waves. She was being rapidly
carried oceanward when at daybreak
Captain Potter sighted them.
The Schmidt brothers were too
much exhausted then to move, but
Schroeder stood up in the boat and
waved a coat as signal Of distress
and it was seen by Captain Potter,
who promptly ran alongside and took
off the three men. Captain Potter
was on his way from Fire Island to
Manhattan at the time, but stopped
at Stapleton to land the men. Cap
tain Potter brought along the launch
as well as its crew. The men were
taken to Stapleton hotel and later
to New Brunswick.

UNEARTHED::
MORE BONES
PinkeriOn Detectives Now al
Work Trying to Locate Won
an -Lamphere's Story.
CHAMBER OF HORROR
Another Arrest Made in The Case
Two Men Try to Break
Into MOTgue.
Special by United Press Wire:

Laporte, Ind, May SIN a short
time after Sheriff Smutzer and his
deputies today resumed the search
for bodies on the farm of Mrs. Belle
Guinness, Laporte's arch murderess,
another skeleton, that of the tenth
body unearthed since Tuesday, was
uncovered. 1t is impossible to deter
mine the sex.
Another confused mass of bones
also has been brought to light and
the sheriff believes the grave con-
tains two bodies.
Pinkerton detectives today began
work on the mystery. They were
impressed with the evidence that
Mrs. Guinness Is still alive and are
bending their efforts to locate the
woman.
1t is believed that in addition to
trying to locate Mrs. Guinness they
aim to find a connection between the
murders here and the gang of Chi
cago murderers.
Smith holds to his first theory that
the arch murderess is among those
burned to death in the house and that
the headless body of the woman found
is hers. But not another soul in La
porte agrees with him. The conviction
is broadcast that Lamphere did not set
| fire to the house; that the woman did
1t after placing the headless body OF
another woman in her bed among her
children; that she has escaped, sacri-
ficing her own babies to that end, and
that she is now somewhere in hiding,
chucl1ling over the prosecutors belief
that retribution claimed her as a vic
tim.
Lampheres story is in unconscious
corroboration of this. He has brought
forward a number of witnesses to
prove an alibi, and he declares that
Mrs. Guinness sent him out of town
at the time she got rid of Helgelein, so
that he would not be able to prove
she lied when she said that victim had
gone away during Lamphere's abb
sence.
Tells Of "Chamber of Horrors"
Lamphere tells weird story about
"chamber of horrors in the farm
house. He says 1t was always locked
and that he was never allowed to go
near 1t, and he declares it was in that
room that the murderess slew her
many victims. But the sheriff does

HAVE CONTEST
AT ELECTION
Two Dandldates for Second As
siStant Chief Ballots TO Be
Cast Next Tuesday Night.
SIGNALS FOR RESULT
Rocks and Anderson Opponents
for Second Assistant Mead
for Chief MuIIen'S Record.

Preparations are being made by
Chief Mullen for the annual election
of the fire department, which will be
held in the police station from to
8 o'clock next Tuesday night.
First Assistant Chief George e.
Meade of Protection Hook & Ladder
Company and Second Assistant
George T. Larson, Of Eagle Hose q
Chemical Company are thought to
have the support Of every company
for the offices of chief and first as
sistant, respectively. The only con-
test is between Theodore Anderson
of Washington Hose & Chemical
Company and Patrick Rocks, OF Nc
Clellan Engine Company, for second
assistant
The contest between Rocks and
Anderson has aroused considerable
interest and the former seems to be
the favorite In the betting. 1t Is
not believed that any dark horse will
be placed in the race at the last min
ute, so both men have an even
chance, although Rocks has the en-
dorsment of Eagle Hose Company.
Chief Mullen, who retires from Of
fee on June l., will be the judge OF
the election and will announce the
result at $50 o'clock Tuesday night
as follows: Four taps IL Rocks is
elected and two taps If Anderson is
chosen.
The tellers will be the secretaries
of the different companies as follows:
Frank Rhodes, of Protection Hook &

of Lincoln Engine Company; Andrew

faithfulness, and attacked, 1t is
charged, Tony Reel, one of the men
who was alleged to have DETAINED

eral parties and resulted in Mr.. and
Mrs. Mancinelli and Edward Guarino,
q shoemaker, being held for the
grand jury. The two former are out
on bail, but the latter was unable to
secure a bondsman for $4,000 and

Mrs. Mancinelli protested her In
nocence and, it is alleged, tried to
kill Guarino for slandering her be-
fore Mr.. Mancinelli. Guarino was
also charged with having tried to kill
her.
A ''near duel'' and other incidents
were notable features of the case
and Mrs. Mancinelli is now at the
home OF her sister in Wilkes-Barre.

Mancinelli is deeply attached to
his two little children and, although
he is about to sue for a decree OF
divorce, it has been asserted that a
reconciliation may yet be effected.
