MISSIONARY BISHOP
OF AFRICA RETURNS
Passes Fourteen Years on Dark Con.
tinent and Comes to Los An
geIes to Raise $4,000
for Jubilee Fund

After fourteen years of active serv-
ice as bishop in the missionary work
of Africa, j. c. Hartzell arrived in Los
Angeles yesterday morning. His pur-
pose is to raise the $4,000 planned
to complete a deficit of $350,00O in the
great diamond jubilee fund of Africa,
which the bishop endeavored to raise
last year.
In an interview last night at the
Hotel Fremont where the bishop is
a guest, he said:
II was elected bishop of Africa in
1896 and since that time have been
experimenting the establishment of
Christian missions in different parts
OF the African continent, both among
barbarie native heathens and Moham-
medanS. My journeys have averaged
more than 10000 miles year by every
method of travel known to the human
being.
I'VE have three great mission CEN
ters on the west coast, two in East
Africa and the same number in North
Africa The success of missionary
work on that continent is marked
Among the native heather it is only
question of securing competent men
and women as leaders for great results
The natives accept Christianity readily
and become faithful and reputable
CnflStlanS.
I'VE teach the simpler industries,
especially agriculture. We reduce the
native languages to writing wherever
our missionaries are located. We use
the printing press and are row print
ing in eight different languages. Some
of these languages are remarkable for
their fixed forms and for their facil-
tiles to express fine shades of thought,
equal in some respects with the Latin.
There are more than 800 different lin
guistic dialects in Africa, of these
permanent in form and capable of be-
ing reduced to writing and used in in
struction and uplift of the people.
1.-The great need of missionary work
in Africa is a large increase of work
ers and money to strengthen the CEN
ters and extend the work in regions
beyond. During 1909 we celebrated our
Africa diamond jubilee and raised
$685., ,000 With this the work will be
much strengthened the next few years.
Il am here to speak on the work
in Africa and to secure reinforcements
in workers and financial aid and wish
to increase the jubilee fund to
$3.50, ,000.''
Yesterday noon the bishop addressed
the students at the University of
Southern California and in the after
noon visited the aviation camp to see
the feats of the air Bishop Hartzell
will speak Sunday morning at the
First Methodist church.

SENSATIONAL EPISODE
IN MINISTER'S DEBATE
Speaker Refuses to. Read Testimony
as to Morals of Joseph Smith,
Claiming 1t is Indecent

For the fourth consecutive evening
the manuscripts of Solomon Spaulding'
alleged to have been stolen and in
corporated by Joseph Smith, founder
of the Mormon church. in his revela-
tions and book of Mormons, was dis
cussed last night in the debate be-
tween Rev. T. w. Williams, presiding
elder of the Reorganized Church OF
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, ana
Rev. Harvey Hazel pastor OF the
BOYLE Heights Christian church, each
contending that the church he repre-
sents is the true church in harmony
with the New Testament doctrines.
One of the sensational episodes OF
the debate is the contended assertion
of Clark Braden printed in the Braden
and Kelly debate regarding the moral
life of Joseph Smith, and which Mr..
Hazel refuses to read before mixed
audience, saying that it is indecent.
Mr.. williams said that there was no
such passage and defied Mr.. Hazel to
read it, In turn Mr.. Hazel defied Mr..
Williams to read it at the session this
evening or to have it passed upon by
the chairman whether it was proper
to bring into the debate.

certained, went te La Porte about the
time that Lamphere went to live at
the Guinness farm.
The other man, believed to have
been the second victim of Mrs. Gun
ness while Lamphere was there, was
Tonnes Petersen Lien of Rushford.
Mimi, whose disappearance and sup
posed death, the Post Dispatch says,
is made public for the first time.
A few days ago Samuel Petersen
Lien, brother of Tonnes, went to La
Porte looking for him. To H. w. Wor-
den, attorney for Lamphere, he told his
story.
He and Tonnes lived together near
Rushford on farm. Samuel Lien had
been a sailor and a rover He tired OF
life in Minnesota and went west. For
two years he heard nothing from his
brother. When he came back recently
Magnus Anderson, for whom Tonnes
had worked, told Sam that Tonnes had
seen an advertisement of Mrs Guinness
in a Norwegian paper, had corre-
sponded with her and had sold the
farm
Anderson had sewed the money in
his coat sleeve for him, and Tonnes
had gone to La Porte to marry the
Widow Guinness That was the last
ever heard of him.
Worden asked the brother if Tonnes
had anything by which he could be
identified Sam said Tonnes had a
heavy silver watch, on the case of
which he (Sam) had scratched the
initials ct. L.
Worden remembered such watch
as one of those found in the ruins of
the Guinness house. The body of this
man has not been found.
Mr.. Worden said the most Lamphere
fol
in the cellar of the Guinness house the
night Helgelein was killed and that he
heard him groaning and asking that
a doctor be sent for.

GUINNESS CRIME
MYSTERY SOLVED
BY CONFESSION
RAY LAMPHERE ALLEGED TO
HAVE TOLD ALL
MURDERS OF LA PORTE FARM
VIVIDLY DESCRIBED
Startling Statement Made Just Be-
fore Death of Suspect Shows
FaIIacy of Many Theo-
res of Officers
Associated Pressl

N T. LOUIS, Jan. 13.-In a copyrighted
story the Post-Dispatch published
~ today what it claims was the con-
fession of Ray Lamphere, who died a
few days ago in the Indiana state pris-
on at Michigan City, when serving
life sentence for setting fire to the
home of Mrs. Bella Guinness near La
Porte, Ind.
It is known that the Rev. DR.. E.
A. Schell, formerly of La Porte, hearu
Lamphere's confession.
The confession shows that Mrs.
Guinness and three children We're chlor-
oformed by Lamphere, who was rob-
bing the house with a woman accom-
plice; that Jennie Olson was not
killed by Mrs. Guinness; that the
chloroform used by Lamphere was part
of that he bought for Mrs. Guinness to
kill three men, one of whom was An
drew Helgelein, the others probably
Ole Budsburg and Tonnes Petersen
Lien, and that one of these men, prob
ably Lien, was the third husband OF
Mrs. Guinness.
The Post-Dispatch says that II the
Rev. DR.. Schell would consent to talk
he would verify the confession 1t pub
fishes.
The confession, according to the
paper. was obtained from man of
unassailable character and truthful-
ness, whose standing in the commu-
nity where he lives is such that MS
word is accepted without question.
Pastor Denies 1t
The Rev. DR.. Schell at Burlington,
Iowa. after hearing the confession
which the Post-Dispatch printed, said
he had not divulged the alleged con-
fession.
A representative of the paper saw
DIR. Schell, who Is president of the
Iowa Wesleyan university at Mount
Pleasant.
Last Sunday he refused to give 10
the public the confession Lamphere
made on the ground that 1t is pledged
by the secrecy of the confessional.
The confession is startling in It's
variance from theories hitherto held,
based on all available evidence. 1t
establishes that Mrs. Guinness is dead.
The body found in the smoking ruins
of the Guinness farm house was the
body of Mrs. Bella Guinness. She was
in the deep sleep that chloroform>> in
duces when the smoke crept up
through the crevices and sn1othered
her. She died with the head of her
little boy pillowed on her breast. He
was chloroformed also and died with
out waking The two little girls, Myr-
tie and Lucy, not so thoroughly chlor-
oformed, awoke and ran into their
mothers room, where they perished::

GOES SWIMMING
GETS PORCUPINE

Earl Deitz has the start of good
menagerie in box in his back yard
1t is very large porcupine which he
met up with while swimming in the
Columbia the other day. Young Deitz
with other companions was taking the
afternoon dip, which has become a
regular feature with scores of Hood
River youngsters when he noticed an
animal swimming in the river which
on close examination proved to be a
porcupine. The boy concluded that he
was in no fit garb to do battle unarmed
with the quilted creature, and so he
hurried to the shore. Wanting to cap
ture the "stickery' beast alive, he
concluded his best weapon was his
undershirt and with it he returned to
the water He managed to entangle
the "piny pig" in the folds of the "B.
V. d." and tow it ashore. Then it
was not an easy task to coax the little
animal which is so we'll armed for
self-defense to the box in the back
yard, but Earl landed his prisoner
there all right and has the beginning
of his circus.

There was a congregational meeting
held at Parkdale Thursday night to
consider the building of new chruch
at that place. The desire of the ones
present was: To have the trustees
raise $4,000 to purchase land and build
church on the southeast corner of
the Spencer place. Parkdale is very
much in need of the church, but we
are afraid it will not be an easy matter
to raise the necessary funds as there
are so many who wished the church to
be located in the town site.
