A GUAYRA A CITY
OF DEATH PLAGUE
STILL UNCHECKED
Troops Keep Populace in Quar-
antine and All Help
Is Cut Off.

WILLEMSTED, Caracao, May O.
Fragmentary reports which are leaking
through from La Guayra, Venezuela,
plague spreads the pitiably helpless In
habitants are fighting it in weak and
despairing frenzy, cut off from the rest
Of the world, but there seems to be no
chance of staying the tide.
There, on one side the sea hens them
in. and no ship will taxi the risk of
becoming a floating deadhouse. No
other port would give anchorage should
a steamer from La Guayra seek it,
Aback from the sea, those who at
tempt flight are halted by the arms of
the military, and to force a way toward
the hill section means a Heath surer
than hat from plague, but mercifully,
not so slow.
And SO the city has abandoned hope
1t Is a population which has turned
back upon itself-in it's san moments
~reconciled to determination, mayhap; in
its frenzied moments hurting maledic-
tions against the face of heaven for
the curse which has settled upon 1t.
Despairing, with every hand turned
against them, have retired
to their homes, safe from the troops
who I'VE orders to shoot to kill in
case the quarantine is violated. Bush
ness is at a standstill and the city is
like ar inferno.
1t is behind the shattered windows
of the residence section that the silent
tragedies are going on, for there whole
families are ~resignedly awaiting death.
In many cases doors have not been
opened for days, and no one knows the
extent of the death list at this time.
The meagre reports that have been re-
ceived, however, indicate that the
mortality will be large. Not only are
the people of La Guayra prisoners of
the plague. but they have no place to
turn for relief. IT is a case wherein
humanity seemingly has turned aside
from its kind in the hour when succor
is most sorely needed.

the floor covered the remains of many
other victims.
Trunks May Have Held Bodies.
The discovery of the bodies has led
expressmen to tell of the delivery OF
five trunks at the place during the last
six months. 1t is believed that these
trunks contained the mutilated corpses
of victims of a gang which operated
in Chicago other large cities, and
of which Mrs. Guinness was a member.
Two of Mrs. Guinness's supposed vic
Tins nave not yet been found. They
are her two husbands, who disappeared
inysteriously before Helgelein appeared
on the scene. The sheriff is firm In the
belief that their bodies will be found
in the private burying ground.
Max Stevenson, her first husband, she
poisoned in Chicago, there Is no doubt
now. He was insured for $500. Her
second husband Guinness carried poll
cies amounting to SO. 800 on his life. His
death was the cause of a grand jury
investigation, at which Mrs. Guinness
testified that an ugly cash in his head
had been caused by a meat cleaver fall
ing from a shelf.
Mrs. Guinness was a handsome, fas-
~cinating woman, who was well liked Ia
the community. She was known as a
devoted mother. and because OF her
apparent refinement and the unremit-
ting love she manifested for her chill
dren, no suspicious were attached to the
disappearance of visitors at her home.

John Larsen, of 992 Francisco avenue,
Chicago, a nephew of Mrs. Guinness, Is

lleves are those of his aunt and her
children, Myrtle, Lucy and Philip. To
reporters he said:
my aunt was born in Trondhjem.
Norway, where she still has a sister
and brother living. Her maiden name
was Belle Paulsen. She was 4S years
of age and came to this country twenty
six years ago.
my aunt had a weakness for adopt
ing children. She was a queer woman.
She was married at the age OF "a to
Max Sorenson. He died suddenly after
eating supper. This was in Austin, III.
