Burrows Temporary Chairman.


In assuming the gavel during the
temporary period of the conventions
existence, Senate Burrows made
an extended speech, designed to en-
body the keynote of the coming nota-
BILE Campaign and to proclaim the
principles and achievements of the
republican party during its many years
of existence. When he concluded,
Senator Burrows announced the i'm
portant committees, including that on
credentials, and the convention ad-
journs until such a time as the latter
committee is ready to report.
Much Work Before Convention.
There is considerable discussion as
TO the length of the convention, some
of the leaders holding to the original
estimate of five days in which to con-
clude all of the work to come before
the delegates, and others more opti-
mistic, declaring that three days
should see the end of all deliberations
and the departure of the representa-
tives for home. 1t is certain that
the credentials committee will not be
ready to report the permanent roll
call until Thursday at the very earli-
est, and if the "allies'" opposed to Sec
retary Taft insist upon their announc-
ed determination. of presenting at
least $50 of the original 229 contested
delegate cases to the committee there
is likelihood that permanent organiza-
tion may be deferred until Friday,

Chicago, June 6.-The convention
to name a new Republican candidate
for president of the United States is

Taft Managers Confident.

So far as possible, the contests will
be passed upon in bulk, as was found
expeditions in the national committee,
and the credentials committee will sit
until late Tuesday and Wednesday
nights to complete its labors. Just
as soon as the permanent list of dele
gates is concluded, nominations for
president will be in order. The man
ayers of the Taft campaign profess to
have not the slightest doubt as to the
results of the first ballot, and declare
they have no apprehension as to the
action of the credentials committee
upon the contested delegates. The "al-
lies" however, continue to maintain
bold front and declare that not un-
til the first ballot is ended will they
admit defeat.

TO TRY RAY LAMPHERE
Alleged Right-Hand Man of Mrs. Bella
Guinness Will Be Placed on Trial
During Coming Week.
sneeial to the Herald.

La Porte, Ind, Nov. 5.-Interest in
: the Guinness murder case, which ex-
cited the attention of the entire coun-
try last spring, will be revived next
week when Ray Lamphere, alleged to
have been the right-hand man of Mrs.
Bella Guinness in conducting her muir
der farm, is placed on trial. Lam
phere is under indictment for the
murder of Mrs. Guinness and her three
children by burning her farm house
and is charged also with completely in
/, the killing of several of the woman's
victims.
S It is probable the youth will be
tried first for the murder of Mrs. Gun
ness, although the prosecuting attor-
ney claims to have very strong case
against him on the charge of compile
'ity in the murder of Andrew Hedge
lein.
Helgelein, who was South Dakota
farmer. came here with $4,000 after a
correspondence with Mrs. Guinness,
and was never more heard of. He
was but one of a dozen or more men
who are believed to have fallen vic
Tins to the woman's wiles.
In addition to the murder of Hedge
lein, Lamphere is charged with COM
plicity in the murder of several others,
but the killing of Helgelein, which is
said to have occurred January IA last,
is believed to furnish the strongest
case against him.
The destruction of the Guinness
house and the burning of the widow
and her three children occurred on the
night of April 2S. 1t came as a climax
to strenuous investigation by
brother as to the whereabouts of AL
bert Helgelein, who is believed to
have been the last victim of Mrs. Gun
ness farm through matrimonial ad-
yertisement After his arrival he
was induced to turn into the woman's
hands nearly $4,000, which he had
earned as a rancher on his section of
land near Aberdeen, S. D. 1t is the
accepted belief of the authorities that
the activity of Helgelein's brother in
Investigating the mystery of the for
mer's disappearance led Lamphere to
put the widow and her children out of
the way in order to save himself.
Lamphere had been employed for
some years on the Guinness farm and
that he had a guilty knowledge of the
- traffic carried n by the
: widow seems certain Considerable
doubt exists, however, as to the extent
of his completely in the wholesale
murders He logically appears in the
light of possible accomplice, on the
theory that the woman could not have
done her murderous work alone. How
ever, his apparent Willingness to talk,
coupled with the responsibility of his
antecedents and his own lack of per-
spicuity, has convinced many persons
acquainted with the case that Lam
phere either is not guilty or was at
best mere tool in the hands of the
exceptionally intelligent and cold
blooded murderess.
