she is still alive and in hiding, proba-
bly, in Chicago. The theory is that
Mrs. Guinness substituted the re-
mains Of one of her female victims for
herself aad then set fire to the house
in order to cover up the crime. In
case it is proved that Mrs. Guinness
die substitute the body Of another
woman for her own, it is considered
likely that she was also guilty of the
murder of her three children.
John Larson of Chicago, % years
old, nephew of Mrs. Guinness, is here
trying to arrange to take four bodies
found in the ruins of the fire to Chi
cago. The nephew made a deposition
before the coroner, in which he said
his aunt was born in Trondhjem, Nor
way, where she still has a sister and
brother living. Her maiden name was
Belle Paulsen. She was 48 years old
and came to this country 26 years ago.
The gang of men excavating on the
Guinness farm today under the direc-
ton of Sheriff Shutter came upon
another disturbed spot within six feet
of the place where yesterday four
bodies were dug up and upon digging
three feet down struck a wooden box
which fell to pieces as their spades
hit it, revealing the skeleton of a man
lying face downward.
The body discovered in the box had
been dumped in carelessly. On top of
it was debts. including little tin
stove, evidently a baby's plaything.

Washington, May 6.-At 11.2O o'clock
tonight, the Republican caucus of the
House of Representatives committed
itself by vote of lis to Fl to the
principle of commercial paper as an
asset on which to issue extra circula-
ton in time of emergency. This. is in
accordance with the Vreeland bill. but
by a separate action the resolution
was so amended as to eliminate Mr..
Vreeland's name from the measure.
BY still another vote, the caucus de-
cided to recommend the appointment
of a commission to consider the cur
rency question and report bill at the
next session of Congress.
Coupled with this provision was an
other providing for the immediate APP
pointment of committee of five
members to draft new bill in ac-
cordance with the action of the caucus
and along the general lines of the Sec
ond Vreeland bill. In accordance with
this action the Chair appointed as such
a committee Vreeland, N. j.; Burton,
Ohio; Weeks, Mass. Mckinney, Ills,
and Knowland, Calf Under the terms
of the resolution the committee will
be expected to report a perfect bill to
an adjourned conference to be held

not made such fine home for her
"At the time Serenson died the
neighbors charged that he was poison
ed burt 1 never thought so. He be-
came i'll one evening and died the next
day He had a good physician to at
tend him.
Il have not seen my sister for 20
years. She was angry with me be-

store in Chicago, but it burned down
The first house she had in the suburbs
