DELEGATES UNRESTRICTED, TO
GET A NEW JERSEY MAN
ON TICKET.

Trenton. n. j., May 6.-The repub-
licAa state convention to select dele
gates to the national convention at
Chicago yesterday named a delegation
that is uninstrutced. The convention
also voted down resolutions endors-
ing the candidacl of Secretary Taft
for president and fayoring the re-
nomination Of President Roosevelt.
A resolution favoring former Gov
ernor Franklin Murphy for vice pres
dent was adopted without opposition.
The delegates selected are not all fav.
orable to Secretary Taft. The idea
of the republican leaders in the state
is that the New Jersey delegation
should go to Chicago unpledged and
be in a position TO secure whatever
favors might be obtained for New
Jersey.
A strong effort will be made to
have the national convention accept
former Governor Murphy as the vice
presidential candidate The dele

Mysterious Holes Dug by Farmland Prove

Married Rich Men and Killed Them for
Fortunes and Life Insurance
Young Girl, Adopted Daughter, Also Slain,
Supposedly to Seal Her Lips

of Jennie Olson is that she, nearing
an age when she could know too
much of the life of Mrs. Guinness ana
her alleged commission of crimes,
was murdered that her lips might be
sealed forever.
States Attorney Smith last night
said that in all probability Lamphere
would be taken from Jail to the pris-
on at Michigan City. This is to in
sure beyond any question the safe
custody of the suspect.
Relatives Suspected.
The first husband. Max Sorenson,
died several years ago while the fam
lily lived at Austin, III. His death
was said to be due to heart failure,
but relatives claimed he had been
poisoned. An inquest was ordered
some time after the remains had been
buried but for some reason the body
was never disinterred by the author

Also Got Fire insurance.
While a resident OF Austin, the
home of Mrs. Guinness was burned
and although some question as to the
origin of the fire arose. the insurance
was collected
With the money secured from the
insurance on the death of her hus-
band, Mrs. Guinness bought confec-
tionery store in Chicago A short
time later the store was Quilted by
fire, the origin of which was sus-
picious but after making an investi-
cation the insurance companies could
not attach any blame to Mrs. Gun
ness, and paid the claim
Hit by a Meat Chopper.
After the fire at Chicago, Mrs. Gun
ness moved to Laporte and it was
here that she was united in marriage
to Peter Guinness. While in the
kitchen one day Guinness was struck
on the head by meat chopper and
the wife explained to the coroner
that it had fallen from a shelf and
killed him Although her story was
questioned. the investigation was
never carried any farther and her
story was given sufficient credence
by the authorities to drop the case
Adopted Daughter Disappeared.
The authorities believe that Jennie
Olson knew of the circumstances
which surrounded the death of at
least one of the husbands of her
tostermother and that it was for this
reason that she was put out of the
way. While the skeleton has not
been absolutely identified as that of
the adopted daughter, it is reasona-
Bile to believe that such was the case
as she has not been seen for the past
two years
Contemplated Another Marriage.
That Mrs Guinness was evidently
contemplating still another marriage
is believed by the officers as the re
suit of the receipt Of a letter

is written in Norwegian and is from
Carl Peterson of Waupaca Wis.
He writes that he is sorry he can
not meet her requirements as to his
financial conditions, but that he Is
respectable and worthy in every way,
He says he hopes she will b. able to
find the right kind of man, one who
will make her a good and rue hus-
band and one who will be father

Nichols is perfecting a new type of

Consumption And The Telephone.

The panic recently created on the
subject of the assumed danger Turk
ing in the transmitter of the tele-
phone is not precisely new. 1t is
but the development of a fear which
has caused misgivings for some years,
as is pointed out by the British
Medical Journal. On the supposition,
1t says, that various germs of dis
ease probably collect in the receiver
and transmitter of the instrument,
at any rate in public telephone sta
tions, some medical alarmists have
thrown out suggestions that antisep-
tics, both in a dry state and in solu-
ton, should be applied for the safe
ty OF the telephone user. The recent
dlctum goes one step further, in

fact that tubercle baccili, the casual
micro-organisms of consumption.

Depth AZ Which Miners Can Work.
Below so feet the temperature

depth of about 1000 feet we reach
a temperature of SO degrees. or blood

difficult to work coal pits below that

Britain's coal commission has decid-
ed that mines are not workable be-

The thickness of the solid rocks
building up the crust OF the earth is
at least 30 to 40 miles. At that

until the relation of the heat to the
