The forward pass was used once

TAP CASE is

Has Been in Courts For Two
Years and Sale Of Prop

Judge Wood in the district court
at Wallace this afternoon dismissed
the celebrated tap case. This was a
suit brought by fred Boutwell, last
year to compel the Consumers Co.
to make free connection with its wat
er system at the property line. Both
well rendered the company one
month water rent and asked it to
furnish him water without further
expense, but the company made a
charge for connections and refus-
ed to comply with his demand. Both
well brought suit in the district court
and the company won on a demurrer
to the complaint. The case was APP
pealed to the supreme court and was
by that tribunal sent back to the
district court to be heard on its mer-
its. Pending trial the property over
which the litigation was started
changed hands and the purchaser
complied with the company's rules,
which left the case without standing.

LAMPHERE GOES
TO PRISON
Convicted of ArsOn---TO Serve In
deterninate Sentence

LA PORTE. Ind. Nov. 27-Ray
Lamphere. charged with the murder
OF Mira. Belle Guinness and her three
children By setting IRE to the Gun
ness house, was found guilty to arson
BY the jury. Within i've minutes af-
ter the verdict was reported Judge
Richter had sentenced the defendant
to the state prison at Michigan City
for an indeterminate term OF from
two to FL years. aned him $1,000
and disfranchised him for i've years.
Attorney Worden for the defense
said tonight that = motion for q new
trial win be made. and should II be
refused an appeal to the Indiana su-
preme court would follow. The In
diana supreme court Is two years be-
hind In Its work, so this case could
not be reached until Lamphere had
served the minimum time OF his sen
tence. MIR. Worden declared the edict
to be ridiculous.
1T he was guilty at all, said the
attorney, he was guilty OF murder.
He should have been acquitted"
The motion for a new trial viii be
based on the judges instruction that
a jury could find Lamphere guilty of
arson. should the case be carried
to the supreme court end sent back
for retrial Lamphere could not be
tried on any charge In this particu-
lar case excepting arson, The crime
for which he was convicted. How
ever, in an event OF that sort the
state might elect TO try him on one
OF the indictments, probably the
Helgelein murder case.
Members OF the jury are reticent
about discussing what Cured in
the jury room, but enough has been
learned to know that BIT for four
members Of the jury Lamphere wouIa
have been found guilty OF murder
or granddaughter, the verdict being q
compromise. Several members OF
the jury. Il Is understood, held out
long for murder In the fi-st degree,
with life sentence. So far az could
be learned none was for hanging.
Lamphere In 4 statement said he
was confident that the adult body in
the FIRE was that OF Mrs. Guinness.
He reiterated his innocence in the
matter Of setting IRE to the house,
though admitting he was on the road
and saw the Gre that night. He also
declared he did not see Mrs. Guinness
kill Helegein. Il have no complaint
TO make about the verdict. Things
looked pretty blue. but the verdict
might have been worse" The pris-
oner was taken to Michigan City to-
day to serve an indetsrminate SEN
tence.

RICH MEN ON
HAPPINESS
Rockefeller and Carnegie Failed to
Find it in Riches

NEW YORK. Nov. 27-In an arti-
Gle to be published in the December
number of Worlds Work, John D.
Rockefeller, the Standard Oil king.
declares that it is better to give than
to receive. He says the novelty Of
being able to purchase everything
one desires soon passes and that what
people seek Is not purchaseable with
money. He says: DO not begin
business with the idea of getting all
out Of the world by hook or crook
you can. Consider the question Of
where you can be the most effective
in the work Of the world" Rockefel-
Ter says that the greatest problem of
his life has been organization and
philanthropic enterprises.
Andrew Carnegie, the retired iron
master, in the same magazine says
that Beyond competency for old
age, wealth decreases rather than in
ereases happiness and wealth which
is made by community should be
divided with the community" Mr..
Carnegie will devote much space to
wealth gained by stock gambling say
ing that the state should levy a
heavy tax on such gambling at the
highest possible rate.

THANKSGIVING SERVICES
Fund Started for the Beaeat Of the

rahd started for the Benefit Of the
Needy.
Tue seating capacity Of the First
Presbyterian church was taxed yes
tercay morning to accommodate the
large attendance upon the union
Thanksgiving service. The Rev.
Henry @. Taylor. Of the Episcopal
church preached an earnest and elo-
Quent sermon from the taxi: when
Thou Hast Eaten and art full. then
Thou Shalt Bless the Lord thy God
for the good land which He hath Civ
en- Thee. Beware that thou forget
not the Lord thy God, In not keep
ing his commandments, and His judy
ments, and His statutes"
The thank Offering at the service
amounted to 317.11, and win be EN-
pioyed for charitable purposes. The
pastors Of the various churches viii
constitute a committee to determine
the disposition OF the fund and see
that every dollar Is placed where it
Will do the most good. The money
was deposited with the Exchange Ma
tsoLal bank and It is suggested that
1t would be good thing for this
fund to be increased by the contri-
buttons of individuals and churches
and kept intact until Christmas-tide
and then be employed to bless the
homes and cheer the hearts OF the
needy. The pastors and others have
opportunities OF finding out who are
needy and where a little human kind
ness will do great good and by q little
EFFORT they can look into each case
and report it. When the committee
has acted on each appropriation an
accounting win be rendered.
