A MYSTERIOUS WOMAN
SEEN WITH MRS. GUINNESS
The Defence's Theory as to the Adult
Body Found in the Ruins.

La Porte. Ind, Nov. 21.-The SEN
satiOn in the Lamphere trial today
consisted of stories told by Daniel NJ.
Fred r. Hickman and by John An
derson, who saw a strange woman
with Mrs. Guinness on Saturday be-
fore the fire Hulzen and his daugh-
tiers declare they saw Mrs. Guinness
on July 9, but they were unable to
distinguish her features through her
black veil. Hulzen, a neighbOr of
Mrs. Guinness and one of the men
hired by the sheriff to dig in the
ruins of the house for the bodies
after the fire, declared he knew Mrs.
Guinness so well he could not be mis-
taken.
Evelyn, the eleven-yea old daugh-
ter of HulZen, who followed her
father on the stand. testified that
she saw Mrs. Guinness in hay time"
near the woods. She was in a buggy
with man. They passed her in the
road. The girl said Mrs. Guinness had
on two wells, black one and a white
one, the black one being over her
face.
John Anderson, another neighbor of
Mrs. Guinness, saw a strange woman
with Mrs. Guinness on Saturday be-
fore the fire. This is the woman
who the defense contends must have
been murdered by Mrs. Guinness and
whose body was the adult body found
in the fire ruins.

Pekin. Nov. 21-The ceremony at the
Imperial palace this morning when the
members of diplomatic corps present
ed the condolences Of their respective
governments on the death of the EN-
peror and dowager empress, was one of
the most impressive ever witnessed in
Pekin. A notable feature was the
presence of every member of the i'm
perial clan, as well as every official
who has been reported dead or elimin-
ated from the conduct of affairs of
state. This was the answer Of the
government to rumors of suicides and
deaths current in Pekin for the last
week
The bodies of their majesties reposed
each in a separate hall. The catalfal-

Hot Springs. Va, Nov. 21.-President
Elect Taft and Representative Burton
of Ohio had another extended confer
'enee today at which the speakership
question was discussed as well as
nearly everything else" as Mr.. Taft
put it. What the present state of mind
of Mr.. Taft is on the speakership ques-
ton, and what will be his future atti-
tude, are made apparent beyond all
question by the statement made for
publication b. Mr.. Burton, after the
conference
In discussing the question of the
speakership l am not assuming TO
speak for Mr.. Taft" said Mr. Burton,
but only to express what seems to me
is clearly a correct view of the situa-
tiOn. The president -elect made certain
promises during the campaign. One
was for a thorough and honest revision
of the tariff. Beside the tariff there
were other promises which must be
fulfilled. No doubt Mr.. Taft would Op-
pose Mr.. Cannon very reluctantly. but
as the head of his party as well as
president-elec of the nation he is
bound to meet the expectations of the
people and to insist upon the obser-
vance of party pledges.
1T is to be hoped there will be such
harmony and concert of action between
the president ELECT and Speaker Cam
non that contest will be avoided.

the regent, stood at a table beside the
catalfalque of the emperor.
The dOwager empress lay in state in
her own private palace, called Huang
Chi Tien where she had received the
congratulations of the diplomats on
November 4, on the occasion of her
18th birthday anniversary. This pal
ace is in the east part of the Forbid
den City, a section heretofore called
the harem quarter.
The diplomats passed from the hall
where lay the body of the emperor to
tie palace of the dowager and were
preceded by Prince Chun who covered
the distance with an unmistakable evil
dence of haste. The catalfalque was
flanked by white screens. Behind on
the floor were grouped all the women
of the imperial clan attended by their
servants, all plainly visible to the
foreigners. The men of the imperial
clan were behind screens on the right
side.
The appearance of Prince Chun was
noted with the greatest interest. Prais-
es of the regent have been sung during
tie last few days in fulsome terms and
as II ,esult the cautious diplomats were
prepared for something different than
what these eulOgies had led them to
expect. particularly in the light of the
erict issued yesterday, accentuating
his powers. In appearance the prince
was a disappointment. He bears a
strong resemblance to the late Kuang
IIsu. His face was worn and drawn
and bore an expression of fright

O. \ goal from the field, kicked by
Victor II Kennard Of Brookline. Mass,
fresh from the side lines. and standing
on Yale's twenty eight yard line. with
the Crimson line planted on the fif-

just as the first half was closing.
The game was a battle of football

Harvard men their full share Of credit
for the victory, the sons of Eli can
point as a consolation to their goal
line, which was not crossed by a foe of

Los ANGELES SHIPPERS
VERY MODEST REQUEST
Asked to Make Railroad Pay Re-
bate.

Washington, Nov. 21.-A curious re-
quest is made. of the interstate com
merce commission in a petition filed
by the National Lumber company of
Los Angeles against the San Pedro,
Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad
company.
The complaint says that in the past
ii has been granted on shipments of
lumber and building material from
Los Angeles to various points Of
yarding in tranist, a rebate to enable
it TO meet competition with cOmpa-
nies having their yards at San Pedro.
The defendant railroad is willing to
grant the rebate. but holds that it
cannot do so under the law. The
commission is requested to direct the
railroad to pay a rebate on certain
shipments amounting to $771. No
such report ever before was made to
the commission.

San Francisco, Nov. 21.-The twelfth

he received from Ruef and paid to the
supervisors, and the time and place Of
these transactions.
Although Gallagher admitted that his
memory was rather vague upon some

for the various franchises and that the
amounts were given to him by Ruef.

SPERRY'S CAUTION.
He Will Not Grant Any Shore Leave
at Manila.

Manila, Nov. 21-Admiral Sperry
addressed a letter to Governor Gen
eral Smith yesterday saying that he
had decided not to allow leave to any
men of the fleet during the stay at
Manila. Sperry says his order is
based on the advice of the medical
officers of the fleet and on his own
convictions. He says that cholera is
prevalent at Manila.
A large percentage of the cases re-
ported are either dead or moribund,
showing that they are concealed.
Governor Smith is sending Sperry's
letter to Roosevelt who will be asked
to pass upon the affair. The posi-
tion of Sperry is bitterly resented
here. 1t is pronounced unjust and
unnecessary. and the admiral is said
to be unduly timid.

London, April 4.-One great difficult
ty experienced by the British author
tiles in India in dealing with the Sc
ditious press is the practical impos-
sibility of laying hands upon the act
ual offenders, the editors who write
the inflammatory articles. These
gentry take the most elaborate precau-
lions to conceal their identity, leav-
ing the publishers and printers to
bear the responsibility. Printers are
engaged on the express understanding
that they will be prepared to go to jail,
The publisher does not himself know
the name of the editor, and still less is
it known to the Office subordinates.
There is generally a syndicate of writ
ers, and copy is sent from distant plac-
es typed in order that there should be
no tell tale manuscripts in the event of
police raid. In their seclusion the
real culprits deliberately court the
prosecution of their tool, whose name

FAVORABLE REPORT
1t Is Asked of the Senate Conn.,
mittee on PoStOffiCeS on
Postal Savings Banks.
THE BILL MAY PASS TOO.

Washington, d. c., April 4.-The SEN
ate committee on post offices and post
roads has ordered a favorable report
this week on a composite measure
made up of bills introduced by Sena-
tors Knox and Carter for the estab-
lishment of a system of postal savings
banks. This action was due largely
to the energy with which the subject
has been agitated by the new post
master general. George Won L. Meyer,
who has made postal savings banks
and parcels posts his two pet hobbies.
There is reason to believe that the
bill will pass the senate at this session,
the ease with which it slipped through
the postoffice committee being a good
indication that it will not encounter
serious opposition on the floor.
