BILL WILL FAIL
HOUSE REPUBLICANS TO HOLD
CAUCUS ON MEASURE TO
LIMIT COURTS.

Washington, May pa caucus OF
republican members of the house has
been called for this evening TO de-
termine the attitude of the majority
toward the so-called anti-injunctior
legislation at this session Of con-
gress. The conference call is the
upshot OF agitation that has been
rife in the house for some Months
and was the direct outcome of tor
NAL petition signed by the requisite
so members yesterday.
Perhaps every member of the
house, democrat as well as repubIi-
can. has been made the recipient OF
numerous letters and kilograms for
and against the passage of Inc bill
to restrict the powers of federal
courts to issue injunctions without
previous notice to the party sought
to be enjoined.
1t may be predicted on authority
that in all likelihood no anti-injunc-
ton bill will be passed as the result
of the conference.
A telegram from the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers, now in

fused. He had also made demands
upon her for money, and had threaten
ed to kill the boy if she did not give
it to him. Great affection. she said

Decree.

English Court Knocks Out Grist Mill
Decree.
London, May ia decision was
handed down in chancery court Sat
urday folding that a divorce secured
in Dakota is not valid in either
Canada or Scotland. Richard Stirring,
a resident of British Columbia, is de-
prived Of estates in Scotland worth
100000. Richards mother was
married first to George Smith, and
the couple went to Canada. Smith
subsequently secured a divorce from
his wife at Fargo. Mrs. Smith later
married a man named Walter Stirring
in San Francisco. Richard, an off
spring of this later union, would have
succeeded to the estates of George
Smith but for the decision of the
court that he is illegitimate on the
ground that George Smith was not
domOciled in Dakota. The court holds
that the divorce and subsequent re-
marriage of Mrs. Smith both are in
valid.

PNEUMONIA HEADS
MORTALITY TABLE
DEATHS OF QUARTER NUMBER
1,O74-TUBERCULOSIs ABOUT
HALF.
RATE I'M NORTH Is 1915, BUT
UNDERWRITERS NEGLECT
TO REPORT.

During The months Of January,
February and March, 1913 deaths
were reported, according to che quar-
terry bulletin Of The state board OF
health, which was mailed Saturday.
These figures are compiled from the
reports Of the local registrars Of the
towns, villages and cities. This IN
cludes 387 delayed certificates, when
are not included in the tables Of
classification issued by the board an.
corresponds to an annual death rate
of 1876 per 1000 estimated popula-
ton.
The northern section shows a
death rate Of 1916 per 1000, while
the rate for the central section is
1873 per 1000 and the rate for the
southern sectlvn is 142 per 1000,
says the bulletin.
The unusually high death rate
shown for the southern counties of
the state is proof that complete re-
turns are being obtained while the
low death rate in the northern cOun-
ties can be only explained in two
ways. Either the northern part OF
the state is more heaIthfuI or else
on account of the sparse population
and the long distances to be tray-
eled, the undertakers are not filing
their death certificates promptly
Important Causes of Death.

were: Pulmonary tuberculosis, SIS;

MAKES STRONG
CASE FOR STATE
FINDING OF JAWBONE IMPORT
ANT IN PROSECUTION
OF LAMPHERE.
BITS OF FUSED GOLD TELL
OF INTENSITY OF
FIRE.

LapOrte, Ind, Man 19-Aside from
the Identification of a piece Of jaw
bone taken from the ruins of the
Guinness farmhouse as a portion Of
Mrs. Guinness skull, there were no
positive developments yesterday. The
remains of Andrew E. Helgelein Of
Mansfield, S. D, one of the victims,
was buried last night in Patton's
cemetery.
The report of the coTOner's physi
clans to the effect that the jawbones
found at the Guinness farm came from
the skull Of an adult human being is
all that is required to confirm the
establishment of the corpus deficit
in the case against Ray Lamphere,
according to the prosecuting officials.
Sheriff Shutter is jubiIant over his
discoveries and resumed his investi-
cations. The material on the east
side Of the cellar, where the bodies
we're found, has all been scree ed, but
the possibilities Of the refuse piles
are by no means exhausted.
Is Important Evidence.
The bits of shining metal found by
the miner among the piles of nails,
bolts and other relics Of the farm
house will bear evidence of one fact
even if they do not prove to be gold
filings Of crowns from Mrs. Guinness
teeth. Each gIobuIe Is fused into the
cinders with which It came in con,
tact and nodded into all sorts Of ir.
regular shapes. No better testimony
is had as to the ferceness which
consumed the farmhouse and it is
upon the alleged tremendous heat
engendered in the flaming ruins that
the state must depend for support OF
its contention that the head Of Mrs
Guinness was incinerated On the
morning of April %.
Grand Jury Meets Monday.
! The case against Lamphere proba
bly, will be brought before the grand
jury Monday, according to the first
revision of the schedule in this re
gard. The time Of his t.iaI is less
certain Until Sheriff Shutter has
exhausted the possibilities Of the
farmhouse it is scarcely likely that
the case will be dOcketed for trial
Acc rdlLg to the present rate of pro
gress this will mean a delay oil
months.
