tags for five cents piece and take chances on selling them for a larger amount. Some of the "newsies" in Exchange place started the trick this morning but before they could do much business the police had spotted them and they 'skooted. !" Later in the day a youth residing on Bishop street was caught disposing of tags near the green. He had no box into which to put the money neither did he have the band around the arm. He was brought to the police station by Lieutenant Dodds but was released in short time after he had been thoroughly frightened.
 The detectives and the policemen were on the watch all day to see that no children without the pro- per authority collected money. There was stories that many boys were collecting money and placing 1t in their pockets but the rumor seemed to be without foundation.
 In the tagging the same as any, thing else, some are more successful than others. It depends a good deal upon how you approach person. and to do this to the best possible advan- tage one must be judge of human nature. I'm out since early this morning and am tired and hungry, but can't stop until I dispose of these" said modest appearing girl to few men in Exchange place this afternoon, holding aloft a small bunch of tags. Of course they had to help her out, but perhaps her elo- quent appeal was simply trick of the trade. In any case 1t worked like a charm in that particular instance and maybe 1t served to move others on and off during the day.
 The committee will be in the City hall annex until 10 o'clock tonight. Anybody who runs short of tags should call there without delay.
 Dr Peter T. Keeley, the food in- spector was tagged from his head to his heels at noon. At that particular hour he plainly carried more tags ludu any one IuulVluual III the GUY. When he entered the city hall where he had little business, just little, with the city comptroller. he was stripped of his decorations and crowd of taggers fell upon him and dressed him up again in tags at so much per tag, of course.
 One of the Buckingham pharmacy aides got after teamster this morning and didn't let up until she had tagged the driver once or twice the horse, and finally dog which was under the seat had one attached to his collar.
 This was a queer day in Water bury The water board was praying for rain, just as it has been for sev- eral weeks, while the officers of the Anti-Tuberculosis league, and great many others were offering up peti- tions for fine weather. The prayer of the latter was answered, the day, though somewhat chilly, being about right for folks who were moving rap. idly from one place to another.

In the great immigration problem
the main question, concerning require
ments for admission, can never be
satisfactorily answered, and no one
can tell what the effect of immigra-
tion will be on our future national life.
But on one point all are agreed-that
everything should be done to make
the immigrants passage and reception
as comfortable as possible. Years ago
Dickens protested against the moral
and 1hysical conditions Of the steer
aGy. The worst abuses have been
corrected by law and in the course Of
the general improvement of steamship
service. The requirements of the new
law, which Is to go into effect the first
Of next January, fixing the amount of
deck room and space between decks
allowed for each passenger, have been
met In advance in most Of the ocean
liners Notable improvements also
have been made in the care of immi-
grants after they land. AT Ellis island,
the great immigration station in New
York, new dining room was opened
last month, which is clean, light and
cheerful. The kitchen is model in
sitution. There are pleasant sleeping
rooms, tiled and painted white and
the newcomer is introduced to clean
lavatories with the amenities Of tow
c'B and soap, and has a perfect lodg-
Ing for the night. Humane hospitality
does not stop with material comforts,
remarks the Youths Companion. OFF,
cials are there to tell the laborer what
part of the country most needs his
services, to help him find his friends,
to see that unprotected women are
put in safe hands, to effect communi-
cation between the immigrant and the
volunteer societies that are waiting to
assist him and start him right in the
New World. The Italian meets the
agent of the bureau which his govern
ment maintains in New York. The
man of other races finds that Ameri-
cans from home have formed philan-
thropic organizations to welcome and
guide him. The immigration station
is necessarily sad place; doubt, anxi-
ETY. and grief are in the air. But
much is being done by an efficient
government and a generous people to
make the reception room of the nation

In view of all that there has been
said about the fall in the death rate 1t
seems strange to realize that we are
not living so long as our grandfathers
and grandmothers did. More babies
live to grow up nowadays than for
merly, but people in later life die
younger. Once arrived at adult age
the average man or woman has few
years of survival to expect. This
seems on the face of it so surprising a
statement that in order to be accepted
1t Should be backed UP by data au-
thentic and indisputable, says Health
Culture. Such data are furnished by
the figures Of the insurance companies
(which all agree on the point, but it
is easier to refer to the government
census reports, which tell the tale in
simple and convincing fashion. Even
during the last Is years the death
rate among all persons over IS years
of age of both sexes has risen very
considerably.

P--eonal Equation in Success.

If you stop for moment to analyZe
success in business you will see that
IT comes through contact with people.
1t is all hinged upon the manner Of
your contact. On every side you are
surrounded by multitude Of persons,
in every one of whom there exists a
potential force that may be exerted,
at one time or another, to add to your
success. The oftener you cause that
force to be exerted, says Edward Pay
son Hatch in the System, the faster
your business will grow. You can at
tract these individual forces, if you
choose, and get the most from them.
Or you can repel them and suffer ac-
tual damage from having come in con-
tact with them. Or you may take a
middle course, as many business men
do, and drift along in purely negative
manner. Looking at business in this
light, it is apparent that the underly-
ing element which contributes most
to the success Of any undertaking,
and to business in the aggregate, is
the art of finding the vital points Of
human contact that will set in motion
these forces. The personal element
must be stamped upon your business.

nounced here that the pope has in
structed the French episeopate to
refuse the clause in the church de-

WEB OF EVIDENCE
AROUND LAMP HERE
CORONER OFFICIALLY ESTAB-
LIsHEs DEATH OF MRS. GUN
NESS IN BURNED HOME.
ALLEGED SLAYER SEEN BY A
BOY RUNNING AWAY FROM
THE FIRE.

Laporte, Ind. May 21.-Coroner
Mack yesterday rendered an official
verdict declaring the adult female body
found in the fire of April 2S to be that
of Mrs. Guinness and that she came to
her death through felonious homicide,
the perpetrator thereof being TO the
coroner unknown
Coroner Mack expects to file yerdicts
in the other deaths in sew days.
This is the first official verdict in the
Guinness case.
State Weaves Its Web.
That Ray Lamphere held without
bail in the Laporte county Jail on the
charge of murder in the first degree,
may have returned to the home of
Elizabeth Smith, after setting fire to
the Guinness house as believed by
/ Prosecutor Smith and then made a sec
ond start for the Wheatbrook farm
where he was employed, is the new
theory advanced by the state. Repre-
sentatives of the prosecution profess
to have discovered evidence to show
that Lamphere was seen to go toward
the Guinness house about $3.50 O'Clock
in the morning of April %, and was
also seen to retrace his steps. This
was just about the time that other wit
nesses will testify that they saw fire
shooting from the direction of the
+, Guinness home.
This new theory is that after return
ing to the Smith home, Lamphere made
fresh start for the country about an
hour after the first departure, but that
on this second trip he took the Guen
Their road. From this road he could
readily have seen the fire. If the state
is able to fully support this theory 1t
will be a blow to Lampheres defense
| for he is relying on an alibi that will
show he went north on the Cuenther
road about an hour after the fire start
| ed.
Much depends upon the testimony q
Albert Zolmer, the 14year-old boy who
made a depC sition before Prosecutor
Smith to the effect that he saw flames
shooting up from the Guinness house
that looked to him like they had been
started by oil. Later he saw mar
coming from the scene and though he
| did not know him he identified Lam
| phere in the county Jail later as the
man that was running back towarC

States Attorneys Object.
Attorney General Gilbert and Dis
trict Attorney Mason opposed the
long adjournment asked for by Mr..
Clancy.
THE state cam not consisten .ly
consent to postponing the trial until
next fall. said Mr.. Gilbert. If Mr..
Clancy wants to take the case into
the circuit court that is his privilege.
Mr.. Story ought to be able to 90
through the books within FIVE weeks.
He kept them himself and he ought
to be thoroughly familiar with them.
If third party had kept the books it
would be different thing"
Mr.. Clancy declared that the de-
PENDANT is entitled TO some conces.
sions. He said he would never ex.
anime the books under the eye of the
prosecution. Mr.. Gilbert interrupt
ed him by saying that the books had
been removed from the vault of the
banking commissioner office to the
Citizens State bank, as the bank has
reopened for business and needed the
books.
Mr.. Clancy maintained that the
banking department had no right TO
remove the books without the con-
sent of the court. Mr.. Gilbert re.
piled that the books were transferred
without his knowledge and that wnen
he was informed about it he notified
the department that the permission
of the court should first have been
sought. 1t was stated, however, that
all the books with the exception OF
the ledger and the journal had been
returned.
Mr.. Gilbert said that Mr.. Clancy
knew where the books were and that
he could have examined them at any
time but that he never asked to see
them.
Mr. Clancey still insisted that he
would not go on trial the latter part
of June unless he was ready. He
said he would produce a physicians
certificate as to the physical condition
of the defendant if necessary. He
maintained that it will be impossible
for Sorry to work on the BOOKS until
his health has improved ana that
Story is without means to hire an
expert He also declared that he Is
interested in a case which will come
before the Waupaca county circuh
court at the June term and that II
might come into conflict with the
Story trial.
1t was finally agreed TO postpone
the case until June Is for the draw
ing of a jury and if Mr.. Clancy is
ready to proceed with the trial it
will be taken up June %. -
Mr.. Clancy intimated that the trial
will last a week.
