Of Cicero and delight in the letters and
eagerness to possess them prevailed
against my bodily weakness and the
laboriousness Of the work. This is the
book which you have seen leaning

my library. One day while going into

next day as l came again the same

laughed at him and set him up in his

same hurt, and, thinking he might be
cross at having to stand on the ground,
I put him up a shelf higher, but not

RACE TRACK GAMBLING
is BARRED IN DISTRICT
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE house
today accepted the senate amendments
to the bill prohibiting race track gam
bling in the District of Columbia, and
the house finally passed it.
The usual roll call was avoided. Mr..
Williams of Mississippi. the minority
leader, remarked that inasmuch as 1t
was a meritorious measure he would
not insist upon a roll call. The vote
was practically unanimous.
Following is the text of the betting
provision as now accepted by both
houses:
1T shall be unlawful for any person
or association of persons to bet, gam
BILE or make books or pools on the re-
suit of any trotting or running race OF
horses or boat race or race of any 9TH
err kind, election or any contest OF any
kind or game of baseball.
ANY person Or association OF per-
sons violating the provisions of this
section shall be fined not exceeding
$500 or be imprisoned not more than
ninety days, or both"
The Washington Jockey club, which
owns the Benning race course, will, 1t
is stated, merely move the track a
quarter of a mile across the Maryland
line, where a better course can be pro-
cured.

them by Lampheres attorneys, while
the facts found by four physicians who
performed post mortem examinations
on the corpses do not bear out the con-
tentions of the defense. 1t is thought,
however, that Lamphere's attorneys
have concealed carefully the chief
points upon which they will rely, en-
deavoring meanwhile to swing public
opinion in favor of the prisoner.
Political and business friends of the
attorneys have been busy discussing
the case wherever opportunity afford
ed, the argument being mainly that
Mrs. Guinness was too shrewd a woman
to be caught in fire and that she
might therefore have escaped. Prose-
cutor Smith denounces these methods,
but there is no gainsaying the fact that
the impression that Mrs. Guinness is
still alive is widespread, despite the
almost total absence of evidence to
support it. This circumstance will
make the task of picking a trial jury
difficult. and there is scarcely man or
woman in the community who has not
formed or expressed an opinion on the
subject. Talesmen from the rural dis
tricts. however. may tighten the labors
of the attorneys in this regard.

MAYOR SAYS MYSTERY
WILL BE PENETRATED
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
LAPORTE, Ind. May 11.--Lemuel
Darrow, mayor of Laportc, after con-
ference with prominent citizens last
night. declared the investigation into
the Guinness murder mystery would be
pushed with greater vigor.
Up to the present time said the
mayor, there has been only luke
warm inquiry into the amazing case.
BY this time all the lakes in the vicin-
ity of the Guinness farm should have
been dragged The pond back of the
graveyard has not been investigated.
1T will be. Clear lake and Fish Top
lake, both west of the farm, will be
dragged.
II suspect that more tragedies will
be discovered. We intend to push this
inquiry the way it should be pushed.
There should be n more centralized eff
fort to solve this mystery
1t is also the intention of the mayor
and his friends to investigate the Pine
Lake cemetery, two miles north of the
Guinness farm, with a view to satisfy
ing themselves that no bodies have
been removed. They want to satisfy
themselves that no cadaver was sub
stituted by Mrs. Guinness for the body
found in the fire. which in the general
public mind is accepted as the body of
the murderess.

OLGA NETHERS0LE SAYS
WOMEN SHOULD MARRY
Declares Rearing of Family Is Much
More Important Than Any
thing Else, Even the
Stage
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK. May 11.-Declaring that
it is better for women to marry and
have children than to become artists
and have Il career, Olga Nethersole, In
an address delivered yesterday after
noon before members of the Peoples
Institute, spoke in favor of compulsory
insurance and old age pensions for
working women.
Under the existing industrial sys-
tenn" she said, lit is necessary that
many women go into factories and
shops to do work. 1t would be better
if they and other women workers mar
ried, but as they arc compelled to
work governments should be compelled
to take care of them.
This country should follow the OK
ample set by Germany The federal
government should institute old age
pensions and compulsory insurance.
Part of the cost might be betrayed by
the employee, part by the employer and
part by the government itself"
Persons in the audience were asked to
discuss Miss Nethersoe's address, and
the first man to arise wanted to know
whether Miss Nethersole and Sarah
Bernhard did not do more for the
world by working than they could by
marrying.
"A thousand times no." said Miss
lIetherSole; women should marry.
Women should have children"
But think" said the interrupter,
what you are doing for humanity"
Miss Nethersole snapped her fingers.
1--WE are not doing much" she said.
"The mother is the one that does most.
Government should make it easier for
women to live proper lives, for while
believe that the hottest thing in the
world is motherhood 1 believe that the
person who takes life is more merciful
than he or she who gives it under con-
ditions in which the child does not have
a fair chance"

RECALLS SUSPICIOUS FACTS
BEFORE soRENsoN's DEATH
BY Associated Press.

OKLAHOMA CITY Okla. May H.
81 have been in the little grocery and
confectionery store on Chicago avenue.
Chicago, where Mrs. Guinness lived
many time" said an Oklahoma resi-
dent this morning, who, for reasons,
requests that his name be withheld.
"She was at that time supposed to be
the wife of man named Sorenson. and
both stayed in the store most of the
time. I was not in Chicago at the time
of Sorenson's death, but lived in that
neighborhood for several years and
have seen both frequently. The store
was a small affair at the corner of
Fifty-second and Chicago avenues, In
Austin, ILL.,, suburb of Chicago.
II remember one occasion when
Sorenson was taken suddenly Ill after
dinner and it was thought he would
die. His relatives became suspicious
that his wife had attempted to poison
him, but nothing was ever done to-
ward sitting the matter.
''It was generally known in the neigh
borhood that Mrs. Guinness was of a
degraded nature and a woman of in
tense temper. Since the facts of her
many murders have come to light | can
recall many incidents in the neighbor-
hood of the little store that are not
above suspicion"
Saturday last Emil Greenng. a car
penter, and Fred Greening his brother,
q painter, who live here and worked
last summer on the Guinness farm in

the mysterious arrival and disappear

quested for the participation of the
United States in the coming investiga-
ton of the opium question in the far

sion.
THE cordial reception of this pro-

a cause of qualification to the Ameri-

aim of this International project, plac-
ing as 1t does consideration of human

ample of what is best in modern civ

tied commissioners to Shanghai on
January l, 1909.
The governments as a preliminary.
will investigate the opium question In

ENTIRE VILLAGE Is
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Only a Few Buildings Left Standing
of What Was Once important
Trading Point in Large
Territory
by Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
DEADWOOD, S. D., May 11.-Camp
Creek, a town of 400 people on the Lit
tie Missouri river north of here, was
destroyed by fire two days ago. Loss
100000. The news was brought to this
city by courier from Bellefourche
The flames, the origin of which is I'M
known, swept from one end to the 9TH
er of the village, and only a few build
ings were left standing.
Camp Creek was a trading point for
a large territory, and the merchants
carried large stocks. When the fire
threatened the Little Missouri bank the
citizens removed the cash from the
vaults to a place of safety and con-
tinued the battle against the fire, with
the result that the building was saved.
The principal losses are: r. l..
Charming, dry goods, $4,000; Lake &
Devine, general store, $4,000.
