CEASE WORK ON BIG
NATURAL AIR" ENGINE

The Natural Air Power Engine
Company has discontinued work on
the large model of an engine, which
was under construction at the Perth
Amboy Machine shops, in Washington
street.
The concern was organized in this
city about two years ago and plans
for new engine were given to the
Perth Amboy Foundry & Machine
Company TO work on. The engine
stands about half completed in the
machine shops.
There is little doubt but that the
engine will work properly when COM
pleted, as a smaller model has been
perfected and work to satisfaction.
The new model, now under construc-
ton, is a big affair. with ten huge
cylinders.

BALTIMORE. May THAT the divorce

statement made in the report Of the
bishops before the conference to-day Of

dennis Mormanism declaring that 1t is
still permitted but not encouraged.
The total valuation Of churches and par
sonages in the United States is SlS6, ,924,O24
The address goes on record as opposing
the investigation OF charges of heresy
bv the Bishops recommending that such
cass should be passed on by the regular
conferences. An urgent appeal to the
church at large is also made TO have the
compensation of preachers increased.
The practice of certain churches ap-
pealing to individual ministers appointed
TO charges is roundly condemned.
Growing interference Of ministers and
laymen with the judgment of the Bishops
as to what is best for the work since min
listers demand that they be kent within

because they have had one or two of that
sort and they feel humilated or degraded

tisement.
Wealthy widow, young and beau-
tiful, wishes to correspond with hon

ject matrimony."
The attractiv eness Of the Guinness
home and grounds surrounding it, eyi-
IDENTIFY made an impression on the WOO
ers who visited the woman and made
her task of numbering them easy.
The guest chamber of the house
which was just across the hall from
Mrs. Guinness room is believed to have
been the place where the numbering
and dismembering took place. Then
the bodies were cut into pieces and
the dismembered parts taken into the
yard for burial.
Mrs. Guinness could easily do this
as she was a powerful woman, weigh
ing 225 pounds and with big hands
and arms. Whether Ray Lomphere
assisted her in disposing of the bodies
the authorities cannot ascertain, but
the strength of Mrs. Guinness leads
to the belief that his help was not
needed.
Believe She is Not Dead.
Mrs. Guinness size also suggests the
theory that she is not dead and prob
ably planning more murders. MIS-
Guinness was an Amazon in size, while
the body of the dead woman who was
found with her children in the Gun
ness home is said to weigh only about
125 pounds. Besides, people who knew
Mrs. Guinness say this body is toe
short in stature to be that of Mrs
Guinness. States Attorney Smith re-
fuses to Sweat" Ray Lamphere the
farm hand held on the charge Of burn
ing the Guinness home and killing the
woman and three Guinness children
found there. He believes Lamphere
can solve the mystery. but wiz not
put him through the third degree"
I'VE don't sweat people here" he
said. 'Laporte is a civilized town
and not a Russianized American city
like Chicago and New York.
Meanwhile Lamphere shows no alarm
when they tell him Of the unearthening
Of the new bodies.
''Well, well" he says, "Is that so
now"
And further than that he will not
say.

ARE PROBING THE
HORROR HOUSE
Bodies Of Nine Men and
Women Already Dug Up
in Guinness Graveyard
POLICE SEARCH FOR WOMAN

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
LAPoRTE. Ind. May Tin spite of
the heavy rain which fell last night
the Sheriff resumed the search for
bodies in the private grave yard Of
Mrs Belle Guinness. where the dis
membered bodies OF nine men and wo-
men already have been unearthed.
The sheriff has ordered the exhuma-
ton of everything under half a dozen
piles OF soft dirt in the Guinness yard.
He believes many more bodies will be
uncovered before the search ends. Six
dearessions in the ground have been
marked for further examination before
darkness stopped the digging yester-
day.
Evidence is pilinR up to show that
Mrs. Guinness was either the head or
agent of a murder trust which operated
in Chicago and shipped bodies Of slain
people to her to be disposed Of.
States Attorney Smith to-day declared
that this was fact and pointed to the
many trunks received by Mrs. Guinness
from Chicago as supporting the theory.
AS to who assisted Mrs. Guinness in
killing all these people is a mystery.

anything In fact or fiction, he says. Tho
murders Of the Rue Morgue pale into

Somewhere in a secret chamber of
that human slaughter house, the men
who were lured to the home Of the
wealthy widow in the hope of gaining
her riches were done to death in some
inexplainable manner. Whether they
were asphyxiated. chloroformed or kill

be known. The woman made love to

''The Bishops are accused Of tyranny
and self will II they do what the lay OF
the church orders them to do. We keeniy
feel this is the way" the Bishops put H.
The amusement question is discuss
ed at length. The bishops recommend
that the subject matter of the book Of
discipline be amended to read as fol-
lows:
Taking such amusements as are OBJ
viously Of misleading or questionable
moral tendency, or disobedience to the
order and discipline of the church and
to taking such diversions as cannot
be used in the name Of the Lord
Jesus"
Explaining this the bishops say;
Grave injustice will be done IL this
regulation is interpreted as an aban-
donment of our early opposition to
worldly amusements. Indeed this is
a return to the principles and to the
exact words furnished by John Wes-
ley"
Paragraph 24s Of the discipline now
specifically prohibits card playing,
dancing and theatre-going on the part
of church members, but the amend
ment recommended win trike out
specified amusements that are under
the church ban, and will generalize as
to the prohibited amusements.
While this does not entirely let down
the bars. it permits Of a more liberal
construction Of the church's attitude
on the amusement question by allow
ing the individual to exercise his Judg-
ment.
The convention OF course will have
the final decision.

are denounced and right Of working
men to organize trades unions is ac
mitted IN emphatic terms.
