Toxic. May 5.-The cruiser Mat
sushima of the japanese training
squadron was sunk by an explosion
off the Pescadores Islands between
the west coast of Formosa and the
coast of China. The death list has
not been ascertained. but according
to the best reports only about fifty
eight out of 800 cadets on board
were saved. Capt, Yashiro was
among those lost, as were most Of
the officers. The disaster was
caused by the premature explosion
o. a projectile, which set off a maga-
zire. The cruiser sank immediate
ly, until only her bridge was visible
above the water. Boats from other
cruisers saved 141 of the crew, in
cluding some officers. but the major
ity of the officers perished. It is
fearei that the sons of Baron Chida
Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs, and
Field Marshal Oyama who were ca
diets, are among the lest.

THE WIDOWS VICTIMS


Laporte, Ind, May Close to
the ashes of the home of Mrs. Belle
Guinness, who died with her three
small children in the burning of the
house, the bodies of three men, a
woman and girl were unearthed
six miles from here. All five had
been murdered and dismembered.
Six feet deep were the bodies of two
men and a woman, all as yet uniden-
titled, on top of them and separated
from them by a mattress was the
body of Jennie Olsen Guinness, 16
years old an adopted daughter of
Mrs. Guinness, and covered by only
eighteen inches of earth was the body
of Andrew Heldgren, who came here
OF January 2, from his homo in
Aberdeen, S. ID. Heldgren cashed a
draft for $4,000, in Laporte bank
about a week after his arrival and
the following day disappeared.
The series of murders was reveal
90 as the result of the suspicion OF
John Heldgren who came here from
Aberdeen. Heldgren began search
for his brother, Andrew Heldgren, n
month ago, when he found that the
statement of Mrs. Guinness was un-
true that his brother had started
from Laporte for Sweden to visit
relatives. Sheriff Butler went to
the Guinness farm with Heldsren and
the two men had only begun to throw
the fresh earth from a mound in the
yard when the body of Andrew Held
gren was found
The sheriff says he believes still
other bodies are buried on the farm,
and a gang of workmen continued
digging by lamplight under his di-
rection. Six special deputy sheriffs
are guarding the farm, and digging
will begin in the ruins of the farm
stead at once. Butler is suspicious
that bodies were buried deep in the
basement of the house.
Ray Lamphere is under arrest
charged with the murder of Mrs.
Guinness and her three children, Myr-
tie, eleven years; Lucy, nine years
old, and Philip, five years old. When
the body of the woman wa taken
from the ruins of the house, the head
was missing. One physician said the
head had been burned off; another
physician expressed the opinion the
head had been decapitated, her chill
dren murdered and the house set on
fire to cover the crime. Lamphere
was employed on the Guinness farm,
and it was said that he displayed
jealousy of Heldgrens friendship for
the woman. The prisoner was put
through the third degree but he de-
MED that he knew anything about the
murders.

Battleships in Peril.

Monterey. Cal. May 5.-The bat
tleships Illinois and Alabama had a
narrow escape from a serious collis-
ion. While a northwest gale was
sweeping into the harbor the anchor
chain of the Illinois parted and the
battleship went drifting toward the
shore. She headed dir, city for the
Alabama and it looked for a time as
ii it would be impossible to avert a
collision. By heroic work. however.
the helmsman of the Illinois managed
to steer the drifting ship away, and
the only damage done was the tear
ing away of the port gangway of the
Alabama. The Illinois drifted fully
500 yards before her emergency an
chors, sent spinning into the white
capped waters, finally held.

Mrs. Lord didn't want to give in,
but was in such a nervous state, how.
