Saturday afternoon Miss

Euterpe Girls and their young

lightful lawn party. The lawn
is always so beautifully kept and
with its bushes of sweet scented

such an event, and was never

After taking delightful strolls
and numbers of kodak pictures

All were then escorted over
tothe other side Of the lawn where
under one of those beautiful old
oaks all seated themselves in
picnic style around the long table
spread on the fresh green grass.
A large bowl of roses composed
the center-piece and pink rose

table giving such beautiful color.

After many pleasant minutes

MRS. GUINNESS
WAS FROM NORWAY
BY Associated PreSa

Christiana, May 16.-In addition to
the fact previously mentioned in these
dispatches that Mrs. Bella Guinness,
the central figure in the La Porte,
Ind, murder mystery, was the daugh-
ter of PETERS Paulsen, travelling con-
jurer and magician, and performed
with her father at public fairs in Nor
way, the Associated Press has gath
cred here and at Trondhjom many ad-
ditional details of her family history.
Her mother was regarded as a re-
spectacle woman. Her father was a
Swede of gypsy origin. He was a
clever illusionist and attracted large
rather than select audiences.
Bella used to travel with his COM
pany and was especially well known
in Christiana, during the epoch, when
the yearly fair existed.
Bella Paulsen was confirmed at
Christiansend, South Norway, in 1875
Her family at that time lived luxuri-
ously. The girls confirmation dress
was ordered from Paris. Her brother
lost his fortune in glassware ven
ture and returned TO reforming.
Old man PaUlsen is said to have died
last year at Nasvik. 1t is rPDorted
that the daughter before leaving NOR
way was a participant in a suit in
the divorce court and that the case
never has been finished.

Johnson Says Strike is Fool
ish and Great Waste
Police Were Assigned to
Each Car Operated-Ar-

Claimed.
BY Associates Press.

Cleveland, May i6.--In the midst of
a day of incipient rioting, some blood
shed, general disorder, inconvenience
to the car riding public, and partial
stopping of all the street railway Ser
vice, incident to the strike of con-
ductors and motormen- of the Munich
pal Traction Company, came a propO-
sition tonight to stop further violence
and submit the whole matter to arbi-
tration
This was the situation created to-
night by JOS. Bishcp. a member of the
state board of arbitration. With the
union unwilling to take the initiative,
the matter of a peaceful settlement is
still an open question. All night
Bishop labored with the head of the
union, and the officials Of the traction
company. In the meantime the disor-
der continued.
The night was made eventful by the
company resembling the order made
during the day that instead of stop
ping cars at nightfall, as was first ce-
cided, the service was ordered contin-
ued,
WANTED A SQUARE DEAL
'.All we wanted at the hands or the
Municipal Traction Company" said
Vice-President Behner, of the union,
was a square deal. We gave the,
company days and days to settle or
arbitrate- All we got was promises,
and not a promise was kept"
President Dupont, of the traction
company said:
I'VE have been ready since the be-
ginning to arbitrate all differences be.
tween employees and company. An offer
of arbitration came from the union
and we accepted il and we intended
to carry IL out in the utmost good
faith"
Mayor Johnson said the strike was
all foolishness, and a great waste, and
that he hoped to bring 1t to a close
speedily.
While the general car service was
seriously crippled during the early
hours OF the strike, the company made
rapid progress in restoring schedules.
Tonight fully 20 per cent of the nor
NAL service is maintained Some lines
are running full time. Others are not
running at all President Dupont said
he expected to be able to have normal
continuous service throughout the
city restored not later than next Mon
day
Late in the day the company posted
the following notice in its cars:
Notice to the public:
These cars belong to you. You
should protect them"
To give the men who worked the
cars all possible protection, heavy
wire screens were placed in front of
the cars. TO shield the motormen from
stones and clubs. A policeman rode
eacn car No call has been made for
OUTSIDE assistance. The police claim
to be able to handle the situation.
Funeral and mail cars are not in
terfered with by the strikers. Sub
uroan cars were allowed to run in
the city. except in cases where the
trolley wires had been cut to obstruct
tne city cars. which necessarily inter-
Tered with the big suburban cars.

gives promise of fulfillment. The
relics taken from the death farm, such
as watches and rings, may ultimately
lead to the determination that some
certain missing individual was caught
in the Guinness trap but this will give
almost no aid in identifying any par
ticular body The Potters' field is
most likely to be the ultimate resting
place of these seven bodies.
