THE PACIFIC
FLEET DAY

San Francisco, Cal, May 6.-FouT
months and twenty days out from
Hampto Roads, the Atlantic fleet ol
llbattle ships and second American
torpedo fiotilla stand today within
the Golden Gate of San Francisco
where a welcome of characteristic
western hospitality awaits them. All
last night the sixteen battle ships lay
at anchor off the outer lighthouse
gently rolling in the swell of the Pa
cific with six accompanying black
hulled destroyers. The glow of the
city's lights at midnight could be
plainly seen from the ships. Wireless
dispatches sent from the ships dur
ing the night told of an uneventful
journey from Santa Cruz, the last
stopping place.
The movements of the fleet were
so timed that the Connecticut pass
ed the headlands Of the gateway at
exactly noon today. Admiral Evans,
Magdalena Bay, resumed command
at Monterey Bay yesterday, and was
on the bridge of the Connecticut
when she entered the historic bay of
the western metropolis. 1t is estimat-
ed by the railroad officials that more
than 100000 strangers have been
brought into San Francisco during the
past As hours to assist in welcoming
the fleet. Among those here are the
governors of a half dozen western
states. Secretary Metcalf has been
here several days, and will review
the fleet in the harbor Friday. For
ten days an official program has been
mapped out for the entertainment of
ships.
With the earliest streaks of the
coming dawn this morning thousands
of people began to make their way
to various points of vantage where
they could see the fleets entrance.
At the same time scores of steamers
loaded with excursionists lined the
pathway of the vessels to their an
sailed outside the harbor to give the
eager enthusiasts the first possible
glimpse of the ships. The harbor it
self was jammed with pleasure craft
of every kind from earliest dawn.
Just inside the inner hasbor in the
lee of Angel Island the Eine cruisers
and five torpedo boats of the Pacific
feet awaited the arrival of their At
lantic brothers. The entry of the bat
tie ships was the signal for them to
get under way, and as the last of the
eighteen battleships cleared the isl
into line and accompanied the Allan
tic fleet On the journey to its alch-
orage.

TERRIBLE
MURDERS

La Porte, Ind, May "a gang of
men excavating ON the Guinness farm
today under the direction OF Sheriff
Smulzer, came upon another disturb
ed spot within six feet of the place
where yesterday four bodies were
dug up, and upon digging down three
feet struck a wooden box which con-
tanned the skeleton of a man lying
face downward. Continuing their dig
ging at the same place they came up
on the skeletons of two more per-
sons, but it was impossible to tell
whether they were male Or female.
The digging in the front yard was
continued this afternoon with the
expectation of further developments.
One theory advanced is that some of
the bodies found were shipped here
from Chicago or some other point for
burial.
From out a mass of tangled and
sensational evidence, which indicates
that Mrs. Belle Guinness was one of
the most monstrous murderesses Of
a clearing house of assassination and
crime, there developed today a start
ling theory that the woman did not
die in the fire which destroyed her
home on the night of April 28th and
that she still lives. The theory is
strengthened by the fact that the
head of the body of a woman found
in the ruins after the fire is still miss
ing. Unless head is fouEd today the
police will make a post mortem ex-
learn if it was Mrs. Guinness or one
of her female victims. In case it
proves not to be Mrs. Guinness it is
very likely she is also guilty of the
murder of her three children.
Eleven deaths was the total this
morning for which an explanation is
being sought. Five bodies, some of
them dismembered and parts sewn
il gunnysacks, were unearthed yester
day in the barnyard of the burned
Guinness house, one mile out of town.
With four imperfectly identified bo-
dies recovered from the ruins of the
house since the fire, April 2Sth, which
led to the arrest of Ray L. Ampsere,
carpenter, on suspicion of murder
ing Mrs. Belle Guinness, her two
daughters and small son, there are
nine bodies to be identified Mrs.
Guinness is believed to be the murd-
erer of the men and children. One
of the dead men was lured to the
Guinness home by a matrimonial ad-
vertisement Two of Mrs. Guiness's
husbands died under suspicious cir
cumstances, and both were insured.
Twice fire destroyed her property and
il both cases there was collected in
surance. Today it was intinated that
she may not be dead, that she pro
cured a female corpse, set fire to the
house and fled. There are several
more suspected places in the grounds
about the ruins, and the authorities
resumed the search of the property
today.

THE CITY
COUNCIL

The city council met last night in
regular monthly session with the
mayor. city clerk. attorney and
Messrs. Wyllys, Thomas, Carlton.
Wiseley, Cummins, Whiteman, Bell,
and Haynes present Robinson came
in later.
During the reading of the minutes
it developed that the financial COM
mittee had made quite an important
report at the previous executive ses.
sion. This report stated that the city
had a deficit of S2.373.SO 70 meet
from last year besides many thous-
ands il unpaid bills. There would be
additional interest of s9,350, besides
that already running, to meet by
March 1, of next year, and no great
increase in revenue. To meet these
conditions the committee proposed
that the expenses be reduced, and Of
fered six recommendations to that
effect, as follows:
All public work to be let to the
lowest bidder, and the scavenger
work to be done by contract and a
revenue derived if possible.
2-The purchase of all supplies by
a purchasing committee to be ap-
pointed by the mayor. Otherwise to
be Illegal.
3.-The police expense to be re-
duced One officer at day, to act as
marshal and sanitary officer. One
night man. Authority to be given to
sheriffs, deputies ald consta5les to
make arrests for the city and derive
the fees for the same.
4.-The Office of the city engineer
to be temporarily untitled. until such
time as the work of the city is suffi-
cient to require such an officer In
the meantime the work to be done
by the day.
5--The city clerk to issue licenses
and permits and collect for same.
6.-The poundmaster to receive
fees only, the salary to be abolished.
The first, second, fifth and sixth
recommendations were adopted by the
council. The third was passed for the
time being, and the fourth adopted
for thirty days.
The above action was taken during
the executive session. Last night the
finance committee filed the following
report:
Roswell. n. NJ. May 2 1908.
To the Mayor and City Cou-lcil of

thought that the great moral wave
sweeping over the country should cut
a little ice in Roswell.
Mr.. Whiteman again objected, as
did Robinson, who said that the ord
nance had been referred to commit
tee and ne had forgotten about it.
Mr. Whiteman thought the ordinance
a good one and would vote for it. Bell
here chimed in. also favoring it, but
both wanted it sent back to the COM
mittee This was finally done.
Then Mr.. Scott called Ihe attention
prohibitin gambling. This eotches
the player as we'll as the operato, of
a game. Mr.. Robinson said he would
introduce it to get it before the
council.
The failure of the Stockard admin
istration to pass the ordinance, said
Mr.. Scott, had greatly embarrassed
him in the official discharge of his
duties in respect to the gambling
proposition He wanted to be relieved
Mr.. Whiteman moved the suspen-
sion of the rules and that the ordi-
nance be passed.
Mr.. Bell arose and remarked that
he was in favor of all such things,
but the city had not the money to
throw away in printing bills. This
was all clhld's play. and he did not
want to waste any more money.
Mr. Wyllys strongly favored the
measure, and the vote was taken on
suspension of the rules, all voting
son, who voted no. The ordinance
was then passed.
A resolution legahzing the manner
in which block 81 of the original
townsite is laid out, was introduced
and referred to committee This was
said to be merely to quiet title.
Resolution No. 54, requesting Del
egate Andrews to use his best efforts
in securing an appropriation of $780,
900 from congress for the National
at Que,
was introduced by Robinson and pass
ed.
The report of Police Judge Welter
for the month of April was read and
filed 1t showed 81 arrests during the
month.
Attorney Scott arose and said he
desired to call the attention of the
council to the fact that the police
judge persisted in giving the small
est fine he could in city cases, and
famous chicken case. 1t could, Mr.
Scott said. be noticed from the report
that drunk case were fined but two
collars and costs, this being the min
imum fine under the law Fights were
listed at five dollars. Mr.. Scott took
several other shots at Judge Welter.
and the matter was then passed up
without action.
The report of the city physician,
showing eight births, four of each
and filed. The report further recon-
mended the need of additional legis-
lation requiring the fumigation of
tuberculosis cases. 1t was referred to
the sanitary committee.
MIR. Robinson here strongly urged
upon the council the need of such leg
islation as the report recomm ended.
He stated that such an ordinance
had been drafted but nothing had be-
come of it, and urged that some eff
fort ibe made to secure a bill that the
medical profession would recognize.
Mr. Robinson, on motion, was ad-
ded to the sanitary committee, tenn
porarily.
On motion of Mr.. Bell, the clerk
was instructed to issue a call for bids
for printing for the coming year, to
