GUINNESS MYSTERY
MAY Be SOLVED
AllegedAccomplice
Makes Full Con-
49,. fession
HELPED TO BURY BODIES
Story Told By Man Under
Arrest in Texas is Par
TALLY Substantiated.

Laporte, Ind, June with the re.
turn today Of Sheriff Smutzer from
Vernon, Texas, where he went to In,
vestigate the alleged confession OF
julius Truelson, Jr., who wrote Prose
cutor Smith that he had been the ac
complice of Mrs. Belle Guinness. the
l4aporte murderess, the details OF
Truelson's confession became known
The sheriff did not bring Truelson
back with him for the reason, 1t Is
claimed that his confession does not
hold good, it having been made by
the prisoner in order to escape prose.
cution for forgery committed in Texas
Truelson has been in Jail at Vernon
since March 20, charged with swind
ling BY representing himself to be
Jonathan G.. Thaw, cousin OF Harry
X. Thaw, and passing forged checks
According to his alleged confession
he took his wife, Mae Frances O'Reil
ly, of Rochester New York, to the
Guinness farm to have her put out OF
the way and helped Roy Lamphere
to bury her and also assisted In
disposing of six other bodies.
Confession Confirmed in Part.
The confession of Truelson is sub
stantiated in part as Mae O'Reilly Is
missing from Rochester. 1t also be
came known today that Truelson has
retracted his alleged confession
There was jewelry bearing the name
of Mae F.. O'Reilly lound in the ruins
of the Guinness home and the police
of Rochester reported that Mae
O'Reilly had disappeared from that
city about the time Truelson was
there.
Truelson declared in his "confes
sion" that Mrs. Guinness told him she
was practicing as midwife illegally
and many of her patients died and II
was a part of her contract to dispose
of their bodies. He answered her
matrimonial advertisement in 1904
and met her at the Sherman House
in Chicago. She said, according to
his story, that although he had no
money and was too young to marry
her she could put him in the way OF
making money by helping dispose OF
the bodies of persons who died under
her care.
He May Be Crazy.
New York, June Julius G. Truel
son, whose alleged completely In con
nection with the Guinness farm mys-
terry and subsequent reiteration We
made public today, is believed by his
family to be mentally unsound. His
brother, Harry, said today that
julius had been irresponsible ever
since he was struck by a trolley car
four years ago. Harry said the story
julius told of his connection with
the Guinness farm murders could not
possibly be true as he was serving
sentence in the Elmira reformatory
during the time covered by his con
fession. The Truelson family say
they have nothing more to do with
Julius.
Claims Niece is Alive.
Rochester, N. Y, June Mrs John
Doyle Of this city, claims that her
niece, Mae O'Reilley, who married
Julius Truelson, is alive and we'll In
New York City. If this be true, then
the story of Truelson is in all proba
bility a myth and the Guinness mys
terry is as far from solution as ever

MAN MILLINERY.

Three women who want to vote came to the office yesterday, and, now that they are gone we can speak bravely.
 One had wise hat-a small round hat almost human in it's simplicity and good taste.
 As to the other two hats-imagine this:
 Imagine some sleeping maniac having strange wild dreams and visions. Imagine the maniac rushing out into the chicken yard, killing about hun dred chickens, geese, ducks and turkeys, then taking the head of barrel, fasten- ing all the chicken, goose, duck and turkey feathers on top of the barrel head, putting that barrel head on her own head and strutting placidly along, saying, Don't look beautiful?'

desire for gauds in the heart Of man as we'll as in that of woman kind. The only difference between a lot of well dressed women and company of Knights Templar is the fact that the millinery and other gauds of the men are all alike, while the women manifest a variety of display that makes each fit more artistically and gracefully in her apparel. Without doubt the man who penned the excerpt reproduced takes as much pride in big chapeau with sweeping ostrich plume. and all the other ridiculous paraphernalia of the Knights Templar, as does any woman under a gorgeous Merry Widow hat.
 And "who would think of a police official in such a rig?" Go to. They would all affect it if they dared.

THE OASIS trusts that those del- egates who declared that the action of the Pima county delegation in voting to support the minority re- port of the committee on credentials at the republican convention had killed Tucson as a convention city, will get over the feeling they ex. pressed so positively. As enter tainers of great convention the people of Tucson showed that they "are the proper caper." They should not be held responsible for the action of sixteen out of a dele- gation of twenty-seven.

 well-meaning lady suffragettes made OH a cowed edito-.
 Women feel that they have a right to govern. So they have But no woman could govern in hat like that. Women think that they have a right to take part in the management of the Police Department. So they have. But could you imagine a police official with that kind of hat, or mayor, or agovernor? Los Angeles Examiner.
 For the gross blindness and bigoted disposition of the ordinary man to shut his eyes to real facts when dealing with the question of woman suffrage the foregoing k commended. During the early history of the suffrage movement the fact that the leading opponents of the issue were indifferent to the charms of dress and personal ap- pearance was a subject of much derisive comment by the wiseacres among men who could not reply to the substantial arguments advanced by the adherents of the cause. Now that women who can and do command all the arts of feminine attractiveness have come to the front in the suffrage movement, their very disposition to avoid the unkind comment given their pre- decessors is made the subject of ridicule, as instanced in the excerpt quoted.
 Mark the ridiculousness of the criticisms: Could you imagine a police official with a hat of that kind, or a mayor or a governorW Why, certainly one could if they had ever seen any army or navy officer in full dress uniform. What more impossible or ridiculous head gear could any woman devise than the chapeau of a naval officer of rank or the same kind of cover ing worn upon full dress occasions by a general or staff officer in the army. And what a ridiculous piece of headgear is the full dress helmet of regimental and line officers, with it's horsehair plumes and brass decorations. With what more ridiculous furbelows does any woman decorate her person than are the aguilettes. epaulettes and other gimcracks the same officers hang upon their full dress uni forms.
 Not only do military and naval men get themselves up in style so gaudy and gorgeous that no woman of sensible taste in dress would adopt, but other men, to gratify the taste that man has for ridiculous millinery, herd together in fraternal and social organiza tions, with high sounding names and historic traditions, in which they can parade in public with all the frippery and furbelews of man millinery, the ridiculous chapeaus, the sweeping p,umes, the glittering epaulettes and dtooping aguilettes.
