|NDETERM|NATE SENTENCE
Disfranchisement for Five Years and a Fine of $5O00 Given for Dessert--Defen- dant Still Protests Inno- cence of Crime Charged.

La Porte, Nov. 26.-Ray Lamphere, charged with the murder of Mrs. Belle Gunness and her three children by setting fire to the Guinness house. was found guilty of arson tonight by the jury which had the case since 5:30 o'clock last evening Within five min utes after the verdict was reported, Judge Richter had sentenced the de- fendant to the state prison at Michi- gan City for an indeterminate term of from ? to 21 years, fined him $5000 and disfranchised him for five years.
 Attorney Worden for the defense said tonight that a motion for a new trial would be made and should it be refused an appeal to the Indiana su- preme ocurt would follow. Attorney Worden declared the verdict to be ri- diculous. If he was guilty at all" said the attorney. he was guilty of murder. He should have been acquit- ted" The motion for a new trial will be based on the judges instruction that jury could find Lamphere of arson.
 Members of the jury are reticent, but enough has been learned to know that but for two members Lamphere would have been found guilty of murder or manslaughter, the verdicL being compromise. Several mem bers Of the jury, it is understood, held out long for murder in the first degree, with a life sentence. So far as could be learned no one was for hanging.
 Lamphere said tonight that he was confident that the adult body in the fire was that of Mrs. Guinness. He reiterated his innocence in the mat ter of setting fire to the house, though admitting that he was on the road and saw the fire that night. He also declared that he did not see Mrs. Gunness kill Helgelsin He said: 'I have no complaint to make about the verdict. Things looked pretty blue, but the verdict might have been worse"

TIME DESTROYING SPEED.
He Negotiated 4O2 of the SOP Miles at 65.5 per Hour. A Competitor Made a Sprint at 70 Miles per Hour.

Savannah Nov 26.-The Fiat car, sent plunging through changing fog and sunshine, over 5O2 miles of road ways, by the experienced hand of Louis Wagner. won today the most spectacular. the longest and the fast est international automobile race ever brought off in this country. The three drivers who clung together from the very start were shuffled about like so many cards, as flying laps were reeled away
 For a time there was @ fourth fig ure in the leading column, but when little more than a minute separated the first from the last of the cars in the whirring quartette, caprice of fortune sent one pitching from the road. Out of the mass of wreckage Fritz Erie, who had been driving the German Benz No. 19 was taken with broken nose and broken jaw
 Still the struggle continued and it was not until the last minute of the last lap that the tide of victory turn ed to Wagner. Nazarre, the wonder ful Italian driver. holder of worlds records. and winner of countless con tests. who had chung tenaciously to a narrow margin of lead for more than a hundred miles, hesitated long enough ct the supply pits to change a weaken ing tire, and lost. The treacherous rubber tubing burst as he was about to enter the home stretch and three minutes of delay that followed sent the grand priX. winner of last year. and his Fiat No. from first to third place. Hemery, in a German Benz No. S, favorite of the followers of automo- bile racing, took second honors.
 It was not until the official time was announced that the actual winner was known-that Wagner had hurled him self to victory by the slender margin of 56 seconds. Hemery was the first to finish the 16 laps of the race and the enthusiastic thousands hailed him as the winner without needing the six minutes in the race which Wagner held, Hemery having been sent away at the start at 9:52 this morning and Wagner at 9:5S.
 Winning this grand prize race of the Automobile Club of America over the Bent Savannah course set new rec ord for road racing in this country.

 The disaster occurred in the main ship channel off Sandy Hook at s this morning while both vessels were grop- ing their way through a fog that has held up maritime commerce in local waters for the last three days.
 The prov of the freighter penetrat- ed the side of the Finance nearly ten feet. The Panama steamer heeled over to starboard. while the men and women, many of them had been awak- ened from their sound sleep were thrown from their beds They rushed in panic to the main deck which was sinking almost to the surface of the water Many of the passengers jump ed overheard before they could be re- strained by the crew of the damaged steamer, some not stspping even to provide themselves wih life preserv- CTS. That more were not lost was due to the discipline of the crew of the Finance and the prompt and intelli- gent work of the sailors of tue Geor- gic.

From the Calcutta Statesman.
 No preparations have now to be made when the news of tiger roaming in 9 jungle is brought Petrol, and not a howdah, is the thing to be cared for A few minutes drive brings the hunter and the tiger face to face with each other.
 News came in the other day of a tiger roaming on the banks of the Sindh, near Uchar, a village some IA miles from Datia City. The Maharajah accordingly motored out to the village with his staff on the 18th. That day was devoted sim ply to observing the movements of the tiger. A goat was tied up and was duly slain by the tiger, who, making for the

river bed and placing his prey on the sand close to the water, entered the cool pool and bathed and gambolled for some time. Having thoroughly enjoyed him- self he came out, and after feasting In the clear moonlight took his way back to the jungle
 Next day the Maharajah sat up for the tiger. The beast returned to his feed, and had just caught the goat by the right ear when the Maharajah fred hit ting the tiger in the head, the first bull let proving fatal. The tiger rolled over on the ground with the goat held fast In his jaws.
 Early in the morning the Maharajah returned in his motor ear with the dead tiger placed in the rear seat, the goat still hanging in the tigers mouth So fast was the grip that the goat did not fall down, though the motor was run
