MAN SEEKS LOST BROTHER
lola wis Man Identifies Watch-Ar.
kansas Man Says Mrs. Guinness
Escaped in Male Attire.

Laporte, Ind, May 27.-Mrs. Bella
Guinness had accomplices. This was
satisfactorily learned last night when
Martin Gurhelt Of Iowa, Wis, arrived
to investigate the disappearance of
his brother, Henry Gurholt, who left
lola in April, 1905, to go to Laporte
to work on Mrs. Guinness farm. Mar
tin says that early in April, 1905, a
stranger came to lola. He formed
the acquaintance of Henry Gurholt.
The stranger talked of the beauties Of
Laporte, said he had sister, Mrs.
Bella Guinness, who was In need OF
such a man on the farm. The result
was that Henry Gurholt left for La
porte.
Drops Out of Sight.
He arrived here on April IL, 1905.
He wrote home regularly to his par
ents, but after a letter written July
4, 1905, they heard no more from
him. He said nothing about leaving
Mrs. Guinness farm, but in December,
when Martin Gurholt wrote and made
inquiries for his brother, the woman
replied that he had left, had gone to
Chicago with some horse traders, and
II he had not returned home she fear
ed that he might have been waylaid.
murdered and robbed in Chicago, for
he had some money with him.
Identifies Watch.
Martin Gurholt had description OF
his brothers watch, which tallies with
that of watch found in the ruins, ex-
which, it is thought, is due to mis-.
take on the part of the lola Jeweler
from whom Martin obtained the num-
ber
The digging yesterday brought to

New Theory Advanced.
Counsel representing Ray Lam
phere, charged with the murder OF
Mrs. Guinness and her three children,
have eceived letter from man in
Arkansas, who positively declares
that Mrs. Guinness escaped in mems
clothing. The writer declares that
not later than May 3, five days after
she was burned to death, according
to the official statement of Coroner
Mack, he received letter from her
That the body of Mrs. May Grilley,

A|Rsn|P BURSTS; SHIFTED HURT
Ten Thousand Spectators Stricken Dumb
With H0rr0r-Aeronauts Escape
Death.

Oakland, May 26.-The great Nor.
rell airship, the largest ever con.
structed, burst on its trial trip when
800 feet in the air above crowd Of
10000 spectators at Berkeley yester.
day.
The sixteen men who made the as
cent with the big craft were dashed
to the ground and every one of them
more or less injured. Broken legs and
arms and internal injuries were sui.
fered by most of them, and it is be-
lieved that two will die.
The accident was most spectacu.
lar one. A great crowd had gathered
about vacant lot where the big gas
bag had been inflated with 100000 Gu.
bic feet of Illuminating gas to watch
the trial Of the airship.
Ship Has Sixteen Passengers.
Sixteen persons made the ascent
FIVE of them engineers in charge OF
the five gasoline engines, several
newspaper photographers, the invent
or of the airship G. A. Morrell, and
an Australian aeronaut who against
the orders of Morrell climbed onto
the rigging just as the ship lifted
from the ground
All of these persons were injured
and their escape from death was al
most miraculous.
Rising slowly under the power from
five gasoline engines, the great air.
ship lifted to height of probably 300
feet. Suddenly there was ripping,
roaring sound and the forward end Of
the airship tilted downward
Crowd is Panic-stricken.
The great aerial craft began to set
tie slowly to the ground. The occu-
pants Of the airship hung desperately
to the rigging, while the crowd Of TO-
600 persons were panic-stricken be-
fore what appeared to be impending
disaster to the sixteen men. AS the
airship settled toward the ground sew
eral of the men leaped and were seri-
ously injured. Others stayed with
the craft until it reached the ground
and they, too, we're injured by the
heavy engines and the superstructure
Of the airship.
The injured are all doing well.

Court Decides He Is a Dangerous
Lunatic and Should Not Be
Allowed at Large.
IS LEGALLY HELD IN ASYLUM
Last and Only Hope Is to Be Trans.
ferred to Another Institution;
Application Made.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, May 27-Har-
ry K. Thaw, the slayer of Stanford
White, will not be released from the
lunatic asylum. This is the decision
reached by Justice Morschauser of
the supreme court, in an opinion filed
yesterday in the matter of Thaw's APP
plication for release on a writ of ha-
beas corpus.
Both points brought up by Thaw's
attorneys are decided against him.
The justice declares that Thaw is now
insane and should not be allowed at
large, and he further declares that the
commitment to the lunatic asylum by
Justice Bowling after the last trial of
the case was entirely legal.
Thaw's lwayers yesterday applied
to the court for permission to place
Thaw in some other institution than
the Matteawan asylum, and by stipu-
lation with the district attorney the
prisoner will be kept in Jail until JUS
tice Morschauser renders decision.
The justice is holding court at White
Plains this week and will not be able
to hear the application before next
week.
Thaw ls Resigned.
Thaw has accepted, apparently with
resignation, the decree that he is still
insane and that the interests of the
public will be best served by denying
him liberty. Pending the signing of
the papers for recommitment, which
probably will not be done before
week from next Saturday, Thaw will
occupy Sheriff Chamer's suite in the
county building here. In the mean
time an effort will be made by Thaw's
attorneys to induce District Attorney
Jerome to consent to the commitment
Of the prisoner to one of the state hos
pitfalls other than Matteawan. It is
said that in the event of Mr.. Jerome
giving his consent to such change
no appeal will be taken from Justice
Morschauser's decision. J Even if an
appeal were taken it could not be ar
gued before fall.

SHIPS LURED ASHORE IN FOG.
Dense Fog OFF New York Causes Much
Trouble in Shipping.

iroupte IN shipping.
New York, May 81. Dense fog
banks lured two coastwise steam
ships, the Clyde line steamer Semi
mole and an unknown steamer, off
their courses yesterday onto the shift
ing shoals that fringe the Jersey
coast, caused midriver collision of
two steamers last night in the harbor,
which threw over 800 passengers into
state OF panic; generally snarled fer
ryboat service in the harbor and kept
two Transat antic liners hugging the
anchorage all night off Sandy Hook.
The Seminole found herself hard
aground on a sand key off Point
Pleasant, near Long Branch, N. j.,
yesterday.
Passengers Not in Danger.
The Seminole carried only a few
passengers, who were assured by the
ships officers that there was no dan
ger. The vessel lay in an easy posi-
tion In about twelve feet Of water,
near the beach. Only mild sea was
running and there is every reason to
believe that the Seminole will be float
ed into deep water at the next high
tide. There Is crew of fifty aboard
the Seminole.
Repeated blasts of foghorn gave
warning to the lifesavers of the Boy
Head and Mantoloking lifesaving sta
lions last night that another steamer
was in difiiculty on the bars. The
name Of the steamship was not learn
ed and the story OF the ships strand
