s~~~>~~~~~~~~~~~ .

The village of Lake Station is wait
ing with expectancy for the formal
opening of the mysterious grave, to-
morrow, which contains the skeleton
of a young auburn haired woman,
hastily buried in the grave formerly
occupied by the remains of Phillip Sny-
der.
Albert Wild of Hobart, trustee of
Hobart township. and Coroner E. NJ.
Shanklin, will be in charge of the in
vestigation
1t seems doubtful that there will be
any results in the way of identifying
the remains tomorrow. Unless the
story of the finding is given wide
spread circulation nobody will be
found who will claim the remains and
even then it may remain a mystery
how the girl came to her death and
under what circumstances she was
buried.
Should the Schneiders refuse to keep
the body in their burial plot, the re-
mains will have to be exhumed and
and buried in the potter's field.
Trustee Wild. who is also an under
taker, is still holding the remains of
the man who was found in the Calu-
met river near Miller last week.
Nobody has appeared to claim the
remains of the man and the coroner
has left an open verdict.

WHAT IS GARY
TEAM GOING TO DO?
Four Ambitious Gary Fl. S.
Students To Be in
County Meet.

What sort of a figure is the baby in
the Lake County High School Athletic
association going to prevent this year
al the county meet?
The baby's name is Gary.
Now the Gary high school is pre-
pairing to enter the track meet of the
Lake County Athletic association at
Crown Point, May % confident of car
rying away a few honors. From this
year on as long as the athletic carnival
exists Gary will prove a factor and
right from the start expects to pull
off few points in their meet, although
they do not hope. this year to carry
away the first honors.
The boys are seriously handicapped
in Gary through lack of a place to
practice in. The only events the bows
can get any practice in are the weights
and jumps. They have several good
runners who probably will not make
much of showing this year because
of the fact that there is not even a gooc
street upon which they can run the
dashes or the distance events.
Out of the seven boys in the schoo
there will be four entered in the meet
this year. These consist of Roy Pat.
ton, the dash man, who will enter ii
the 100, 220 and 440 yard dashes. Frank
Knots, who will try for the mile
William McNally in the shot put, and
lC Hyman in the pole vault Accord
ing to the best information obtainable
at the present time Hynan should
win his event in a walkaway. It is
said that he is now clearing the bar al
the feet six inches and will probably
do better in the meet. He is the star
of the aggregation, but some of the
other men may show up Unexpectedly
strong this year.

years. Seven hundred delegates are
expected to attend and are to come
from every part of the United States
and Canada. These delegates will rep
resent a constituency of thousands of
Lutherans.
Vital Questions Asked.
There are Is vital questions before
will be taken up.
One of the important matters is the
question of forming a gigantic church
the property of the Lutherans in the
United States and Canada outside of
the churches themselves. It is pro-
posed that this corporation shall con-
troll the seminaries and colleges of the
church, as well as other properties held
by the church.
Another question is the merging of
the English-speaking and the Ger
man. speaking conferences in one
reetingffi this to be one step in the
effort to make all of the churches
more closely affiliated with American
institutions. Coupled with this is the
question of the Feasibility of publish
with the German publication at st
Louis.
Educational Matters.
Much attention is also likely to b'
paid to the reform desired in many Of
the schools, in the way of Offering
commercial courses to students. Tht
length of the courses in the various
colleges and seminaries will probably
be changed. and the disposition of the
seminary at Winfield, KY, will be con
sidered Changes are also proposed

Ialumni of Concordia College, where
many of the meetings will be held, will
hold a reunion, which is expected tt
attract hundreds of graduates all ovel
the country.
Fit Wayne entertained the Genera
Conference of this church nine years

notable in results held by the SYNOD

There was an actress in the Guinness
tragedy In Hammond yesterday when
a grRy-haired woman dressed in black
and wearing black veil, walked into
Holman street saloon and ordered "a
drink of whisky. 1t became apparent
from her manner that she was only
partly Intoxicated but xvas bad char
ncter and n confirmed drunkard.
After she had disposed of the drink
slae turned to the habitues of the place
and remarked by way of apology for
her unwOmanIy conduct that she had
just returned from Laporte, where she
had visited the Guinness farm and iden-
titled some of the bodies. "That Is
enough to drive any one to drink"
said she.
She claimed that she had Mt one time
been Mrs. Guinness dressmaker and
that while in her employ she had
learned some of the secrets of her
shady life. The woman was too in
tOxicated to be very responsible for
what she was saying, but the fact that
she had been to LapOrte as a witness
in the murder mystery was of interest
to every one.
Woman Tough Customer.
The Hammond police were notified of
the fact that the woman was in town
and she was picked up. They found
that she was Alice Douglas, a we'll
known character who hangs out in the
vicinity of South Chicago Her story
was heard, but there was little credence
placed in it. She was ordered out of
the city and left on the first street car.
1t is said that at one time she was
arrested by the South Chicago police
and proved such a tough customer that
1t took three policemen to handle her
Even after she was placed in the patrol
wagon she fought the officers and gave
them hard tussle before she was fin
ally landed in jail.
Mystery May BE Solved.
A complete solution of the mysteries
of the Guinness farm is expected with
in rty-eight hours. The officials who
have been conducting the search for
the victims of the house of many
deaths practically admitted this fact
today.
They refused, however, to make
known their purposes further than to
say that the final step may be taken
tomorrow or the day after at the latest.
The mystery surrounding four of the
fourteen deaths which are known to
have occurred at the place is cleared
by the absolute certainty that Raw
Lamphere, the former farm hand. nris-
oner in the county jail, set fire To tho
home of Mrs. Bella Guinness on the
morning of April rs and thereby caus-
ed the death of the widow and the
three children.
COnfesses to DIR. e. A. Scheu.
It will be of interest to Hammond
people and especially local Methodists.
TO know that Rev. E. A. Schell. for
nerly pastor of the Methodist church
in this city, has been largely instru-
mental in securing valuable informa-
tion from Ray Lamphere, who is now
believed to hold the secret of Mrs. Gun
