WILL APPEAL TO ROOSEVELT
Business Men Oppose increase in
FREIGHT Rates.

Chicago, May 12.-PreSident Roose-
velt may be asked to use his good
offices TO prevent advances in freight
rates.
With the announcement by Eastern
railroads that rates east of the Mis-
sissippi, river will be increased an
average of 10 per cent manufacturers
and shippers have been stirred to ac-
tion. The reason given by the rail-
roads for advancing freight tariffs is
''to enable them to meet operating ex-
penses."
The freight traffic committee of the
Chicago Association of Commerce,
representing 5000 business men, will
meet shortly to pass a resolution pro.
testing against the advance. At the
same time the National Industrial
Traffic league, the largest institution
of the kind in this country, will take
similar action at meeting at the
Auditorium hotel
The manufacturers of the West will
hold conference on Friday, called
by the Illinois Manufacturers asso.
citation Representatives of the rail.
roads will be asked to attend this
meeting.
Out of these three great movements
1t is considered likely that a strong
committee will be appointed to go to
Washington to ask President Roose.
welt to use his influence with the In.
terstate commerce commission to pre-.
vent the freight rate increase.

GOING TO TURKISH FRONTIER
Additional Russian Troops Moving to
the South.

Tifis, May 1.-THE division of
field artillery attached to the Caucas-
ian army corps, which usually maneu-
vers during the summer in the North
ern Caucasus, has received special or
ders to proceed to Kars and various
batteries with their baggage already
are on their way south toward the
Turkish frontier. The maneuvers
this year will be held in the vicinity
of the Turkish frontier.
The reinforcements for the Russian
punitive expedition now in Persian
territory should have reached Belle
suvar May 8, but no news of their
actual arrival on the scene has been
received. The Russian commander,
General Snarski, has been directed to
restore order in the entire Ardadil
district and he has been given permis.
sion to extend his operations as far
to the west as the Turkish frontier
at his discretion.

DELAY IN THAW CASE.
Divorce Proceedings Go Over on
Agreement of Counsel.

New York, May IA hearing on
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's suit for the an
nulment of her marriage to Harry X
Thaw was scheduled to begin in this
city, but was postponed by agreement
of counsel. Daniel O'Reilly, counsel
for Mrs. Thaw, requested a postpone
ment on the ground that he had been
unable to secure certain evidence
which he desired from Pittsburg. A
commissioner to take the testimony
was appointed recently by Robert e.
Deyo, the referee appointed to take
the evidence In the Thaw case. Coun-
sci for Thaw consented to the post
ponement, but said that he would
agree to no further delays. The new
date OF the opening of the hearing
has not been fixed.

Woman Uses Gun in Theater.

st. Paul, May 12.-Mrs. Bert Swan.
wife of "the alligator man" at the
Majestic theater, made things lively
at that place of amusement by taking
six pot shots at her husband on the
stage. Evidently inspired by jealousy
Mrs. Swan went to the performance
armed with a small pistol. She was
given box seat and when her hus-
band had nearly completed his act
she arose in her place and opened
fire. None of the shots took effect.
Mrs. Swan returned to her hotel and
was later arrested and taken to Gen.
trail police station. She protested
that she did not intend to kill her
husband and shot only at the scenery.

GAMBLING KNOCKED OUT.
Congress Takes Action Affecting Dis.
trict of Columbia.

Washington, May 12.-The final ac-
tion of congress toward abolis hing
betting on horse races at the Ben
nings track and prohibiting gambling
in the District of Columbia was taken
when the house, under suspension of
the rules, agreed to the senate amend
ments to the bill, which, as intro.
duced, provided for the widening of
Bennings road and the anti-gambling
provision was inserted as rider.
The usual roll call was avoided. Mr.
Williams (Miss.). the minority leader,
remarked that inasmuch as 1t was a
meritorious measure he would not in
sist on a roll call. The vote prac-
tically was unanimous.
Following Is the text of the gam
bling provision as now accepted by
both houses:
1T shall be unlawful for any person
or association of persons to bet, gam

suit of any trotting or running race

violating the provisions of this sec
tion shall be fined not exceeding $500
or be imprisoned not more than nine.
ty days, or both
Latterly there was no opposition to
the bill by the Washington Jockey
club, which owns the Bennings race
course. and 1t is stated by one of the
members of the club that 1t will mere.
ly move the track quarter of mile
across the Maryland line, where 1t is
stated an even better course can be
procured.

porte, Ind" said George Anderson of
Tarkio, Mo-, as he boarded the Rock
Island train for Chicago, where he
will offer his personal testimony and
letters written him by Mrs. Guinness
to the authorities.
II think the woman is still alive
and that she set fire to the farmhouse
herself. ] believe that the eldest girl
knew of her mothers crimes. / now
recollect that she acted very strange
ly. She would eye me with a pitiful
look and when | glanced at her during
meal she was as white as a sheet"
Anderson is a Swede thirty-nine
years old. Two years ago while at
Monteith, Mich, he answered one of
Mrs. Guinness advertisements, posing
himself as a wealthy farmer. She
wrote him to come on and he did so.
The second day she asked him point
blank how much money he had. He
claimed only few hundred dollars
cash, but had a 320-acre farm. She
told him to sell the farm and bring
the money to her and they would be
married He went away for few
days and returned one night without
notifying Mrs. Guinness. He found a
man he now believes to be Ray Lam
phere In her company. He confessed
to her that he had no money. She
was incensed, but told him to spend
the night at her place. He went to
bed, but was awakened and found the
woman bending over him. He spoke
and she ran out of the room. Greatly
frightened he did not close his eyes
after that and at daylight left the

WILL DEFEND HIS SON
Father Of Ray Lamphere Arrives
at Lapsrte, Ind.
SUSPECTS GUINNESS WOMAN
Offspring Is Incapable of the Brutal
Charged.


Laporte, Ind, May 12.-W. w. Lam
phere, father of Ray Lamphere and a
justice of the peace at Springfield,
Ind, has arrived to assist in the de-
fense of his son. Sheriff Shutter re-
fused him permission to interview the
latter II. w. Worden, attorney for
Ray Lamphere, declares he will bring
about an interview with father and
son If he is compelled to bring Ray to
court.
The father is strong in protesta-
tions of the innocence of his son and
asserts that he believes Ray Lam
phere incapable of the murders with
which he stands charged.
Mr.. Lamphere, senior, says that at
one time Mrs. Guinness bought fifty
fence posts of him and that while she
was at the place he was strongly
prejudiced against her. He ques-
toned his son Ray about the latter's
possible marriage with Mrs. Guinness
and, advising against it, Ray told him
that he never would marry the wo-
man.
Charles Way. a resident of Laporte,
gave out an interesting interview in
connection with the funeral of Philip
Guinness, the second usband of Mrs.
Gunness, who was said to have been
killed by being struck on the head by
falling sausage machine. Mr.. Way
says that he was pallbearer at the
funeral OF Guinness. At the conclu-
sion of the funeral ceremony, when
the cortege was about to start for the
cemetery, Mrs. Guinness could not be
found and 1t developed that she had
not been present at the ceremonies.
Considerable uneasiness was felt by
those present at the funeral sermon
for fear that the shock incident to the
sudden death Of her husband had un-
balanced the woman's mind and that
she had made away with herself. The
matter was about to be placed In the
hands of the authorities when Mrs
Guinness drove up the ,McClung road.
Everybody present was astounded
when, as she drove up to the front OF
the house, she calmly remarked:
GO ahead and bury him. / guess
it's all right"
1t developed later that she had come
to the city during the funeral cere-
mony to consult with her lawyer
about her possible arrest for the mur
der of her husband. This action was
considered at the time as sensational
est suspicion that Guinness had come
to his death by any means other than
purely accidental and Mrs. Guinness
was not under any suspicion what
ever.

MED was that of Joseph Till of Penn
bina county, whose case has been be
fore the board at almost every ses-
sion for the past seven or eight years.
The members of the board were of
different opinions as to the Till case,
and as a unanimous vote is required
for the granting of pardon the ap-
plication was denied. ' ... AZ
The Till case has been SO often be-
lore the board that the details of the
crime and of the trial and conviction
of Till and his sentence to life i'm
prisonment are generally well known
Till is a Hungarian boy, whose ar
rest and trial took place not long
after his arrival in this country. He
was charged with the murder of Ad-
am Miller, who lived near Pembina,
and whose dead body was found with
ia bullet through the head not far
from his home. The evidence against
Till was circumstantial, but was
deemed sufficient by the jury for his
conviction.
h G.. Young was prosecuting at
torney at the time of the trial and
he was always opposed to a pardon.
On the other hand D. 3. Morden, who
was then deputy sheriff of Pembina
county and is now resident of Wah-
peton, has always declared his be-
lief in Till's innocence, and that he
was victim OF circumstances. Nor
den has gathered many affidavits
covering different phases of the case
and has presented them at different
times to the board

more than thirteen years. He has a
good prison record and has made q
