INDIANS SMOTHER
ST. LOUIS TEAM

ST. LOUIS. November 27.-Carlisle Won
hard-fought game from ST. Louis Uni
versity yesterday by a score of Il To -.
The Indians were forced to uncover their
best tricks TO break through 1he stub
born defense of the st. Louis linemen.
Throughout the first half st. Louis
played good foot ball, and several times
the Indians were forced TO give up the
ball when within the shadow of the goal
posts. Harry Lindsay. formerly all
American tackle on the Dartmouth team,
was tower of strength in the St. Louis
line.
In the first part OF the second half Car
Isle played the St Louis men off their
feet. Line plays and brilliant forward
passes gave two touchdowns, and then
the visitors went on the defensive. Three
times St Louis had chances to score by
goals from the field, but all the attempts
failed.

In his annual report Rear Admiral
Barton, chief of the naval bureau of
steam engineering, says he regrets to
have to call attention to the unsatis-
factory condition as regards the number
of officers assigned to duty under that
bureau. The condition Is rapidly becom-
ing worse he says. land the bureau is
now seriously handicapped i'm its work by
the lack of officers for engineering duty.
and also by the lack OF experience of
some of the officers who have been SO
assigned. 1t is recognized that the limit
ed number of officers available for the
general duties of the line is responsible
for this condition, but engineering in the
navy has now reached such a point that
two things must be done: % for tempo
rary relief. at least twenty ocers of the
grades Of lieutenant commander and lieu
tenant should be ordered at once to shore
duty connected with this bureau and 90
a fixed policy should be adopted of as
signing permanently a certain number of
officers to engineering duty only, such as
signment to begin upon entering the list
of lieutenants, and officers so assigned to
perform shore duty only, after reaching

the ruins had been partly cleared, the
bodies of Mrs. Guinness and her three
children were found In the basement,
burned beyond recognition.
Ray Lamphere, discharged farmland,
whom Mrs. Guinness had prosecuted on
charges of insanity. was arrested soon
after the fire On the suspicion that he
set fire to the house. Lamphere had
threatened that he would get even with
his former employer.
Until the discovery of freshly dug spots
in the yard of the farmhouse was called
to the attention Of the authorities no
suspicion of the secrets of the widow S

gun. however, the bodies of ten persons,
including two women, were dug up In
what proved to be a private graveyard.
Death Trap Exposed.
1t was then disclosed that Mrs. Guinness
had been conducting d private matri-
monial agency as a trap for Turing her
victims to her lair.
The story of the woman's past life was
twice married. her first husband having
died under myst erious circumstances soon
after their marriage.
The discovery that Mrs. Guinness had
made murder her profession, first robbinG
the men who had answered her matri-
monial advertisements. then poisoning
them, and after dismembering their bod
les burying them in her private grave
yard created a sensation. parallel of
the case was drawn with that of the
wholesale murders of the Bender family
in Kansas twenty years ago.
People throughout the country interest
ed in the case have been divided on their
opinions AS to Whet her Mrs Guinness died
in the fire which destroyed her home.
The finding of gold tooth. believed to
be hers, convinced some that She was
dead, while. on the other hand. rumors
from the larger cities throughout the
country that Mrs. Guinness was living
there Inspired searches and made others
believe that she was still living.

and, lastly. greater economy in navy yard

For Greater Efficiency.
II is and always has been the opinion
of this bureau that the greatest efficiency
results when the officers who design our

later its operation at sea, for thus only
can they acquire that familiarity with the
