in his honor by the Lotus Club tonight
he made the announcement that he would
not speak in his turn. but after all the

MIR. Wu gracefully assigned as the
cause of his flank movement to the rear
the fact that Gen. Fred D. Grant. who
was to return TO his post on Governors
Island early, must really be allowed a
chance to have the after-eoffee attention
of the diners first; but there were those
who hinted the minister from China, be-
ing a lawyer In his own land, had
cleverly insisted upon having the last
word.
Minister WI said to a reporter to-day
that that was no joke about his being
teetotaller and vegetarian, And It Is
worse or better, as you look at it. than
that, for he added: I am a sanitarian."
He was waiting his turn to make a
speech advocating the erection of a

Joining store were also partly DESTROYED.

A passerby noticed flames coming from
the barn shortly after II O'Clock, In a
few minutes the flames. famed by the
wind. enveloped the barn the adjoining
store. and the tenement houses.
Four families occupying the frame

carried from the burning structures most
of the furniture.
Despite the efforts Of the fremen. the
flames spread with rapidity Soon the
barn, grist mill. and store were in ashes
The flames ate into the tenement houses
They, too. soon were in ashes
For a time it looked as Il the biggest
fire in years had started. But the wind
shifted. and the hard work OF the fire
fighters brought results The blaze was
eXtinguished shortly after 3 O'Clock.
The families driven from their houses
were sheltered by friends and neighbors

the deaths OF the persons named is the
theory held by the local authorities. Their
first impression 10 this effect vas
strengthened when Ray Lamphere. &ne
farmland under arrest, was told OF the
erewsome discoveries.
My God, five bodies, What wouldn't
that woman do?" he exclaimed in Jail,
where he is awaiting grand jury action
on a charge OF first degree murder.
Lamphere was arrested after the fire
which destroyed the Guinness home, but
at the time nothing was known of the
bodies buried in the yard. He was held
in view of the fact that Mrs Guinness
and three children perished In the IRE
and that he had been employed there.
i always thought something was wrong
out there, he cried. when Sheriff Shutter
questioned him. Several people came to
that farm who never were seen to go
away. One was a big man, with black
hair and mustache. Mrs. Guinness told me
he was Jennie Olsen's sweetheart. He
was around there about two years ago
Then one day a man and a woman drove
up with a baby. They went away without
t. That's all I know about it, bur ] guess
there must have been others. I amt sure
just when that big man was there.
Two Husbands Dead.
The latest developments are that the
two husbands OF Mrs. Guinness died under
suspicious circumstances. both meeting
violent deaths. The first, Max Sorenson,
was insured for $500, and the second.
Guinness, for $500. This insurance was
paid to Mrs. Guinness. The first husband.
Max Sorenson. died several years ago.
when the family lived at Austin. III. His
death was said to have been due to heart
failure, but relatives said he had been
poisoned.
With money secured by the death of
her husband. Mrs. Guinness bought

avenue and Elizabeth street A short
time later the store was gutted by fire.

cious but after making an investigation,
the insurance company could not at

the claim.
After the fire at Chicago. Mrs. Guinness

one day, Guinness was struck on the
head by a meat chopper, and the wife
explained 10 the coroner that It had fallen
from a shelf and had killed him. Al

The authorities now believe Jennie o.
