What Congress is Doing

By an overwhelming vote of 167 to
46 and following two hours debate,
the house of representatives Wednes-
day again went on record against the
re-establishment of the canteen in ma
tional soldiers home. In the course of
the discussion man giving his name
as George e. Gridley of Providence,
r. l., unfurled an American flag and
proceeded to make an address from
the gallery on the temperance ques-
ton. He was promptly taken out.
An omnibus bridge bill, the first
measure of its kind to be framed and
introduced in congress, was reported
favorably by the house on interstate
and foreign commerce. The bill au-
thoriZes the construction of "a bridges
in various parts of the country. These
two dozen distinct authorizations were
consolidated in one act on account OF
the Democratic filibuster in progress
in the house and by this means %
roll-call votes on the floor will be
escaped.
The senate Wednesday passed the
Gallinger bill to regulate the employ
ment of child labor in the District of
Columbia. Chairman Dolliver of the

A hired man heard the struggles of
the victims as they were held under
the chloroformed rags until dead,
heard the sound of the knives, cleav-
ers and saws with which the bodies
were dismembered, and saw the re-
mains of the kerosene torches which
were used at night to bury the bodies.
He was satisfied with explanations and
his suspicious allayed until the crimes
were unearthed.
Some Of the bodies, I think. must
have been shipped here" said Joseph
Maxson, this same hired man. Mrs.
Guinness received many trunks. They
were all brand new. They were kept
over night and then l was ordered to
chop them up for kindling.
"The inside of every trunk was
stained, and I believe now that those
stains were blood stains"
THAT woman is not dead" said Cor
oner Mack. THAT was not her body
we found in the ruins when her house
was burned. She has fled and may be
on her way to Europe. She used an
other body for ruse, after she had
murdered her own children and set
6ro to tho bOuseo
"She had an accomplice," said the
states attorney of the county. 81
don't want to name him, but we have
charged Roy Lamphere with murder
in the first degree In affidavit to be
presented to the grand jury. I have
evidence enough to hang the man."
The seventh body was traced be-
meath the sixth body when planks
were removed and human bones were
found to stick through the earth. The
eighth body was discovered by farm
er who pulled up piece OF barbed
wire buried in the ground, and dragged
out human rib and five bones.
Deputy Sheriff MARI obtained a
statement from Joseph Maxson, hired
man for Mrs. Guinness, which gives
the most startling information of the
day.
"Unconsciously l was an aid in her
murders. Why dug the very holes
in which some of those bodies were
buried. And heard the shrieks and
| the struggles of her victims.
"Such thing as a wholesale muir
der bureau in quiet farm house new
er occurred to me. If 1t had might
have been able to put two and two to-
| gether and start an investigation. II
had not been 80 simple though,
suppose that she would have chloro-
formed me and chopped my body apart
to fill another grave. May be she
would have had me dig my own grave
the day before!"
