The Lakes in 1910.

A great year was 1909 upon the Great lakes. Records were smashed as the winter waves of Erie delight to smash a Iandsman's yacht. More ore and more package freight were carried than ever before in the career of in- land navigation. Furthermore, the demand for ore was so insistent that the boats were daring the ice and gales past the insurance barrier-several of them to their misfortune. The season of 1910 is looked forward to as one to be distinguished by extraordinary activity
 Vessel owners are, therefore, prepar- ing to garner as much of the harvest of trade as they can. The American Shipbuilding company reports that it has received orders for the construc- tion of thirty new boats. the cost of which will total 10000. 00o- Eighteen barges will be ready for delivery with burg Steamship company has given contracts for five freighters of the 600 foot class Most of the new vessels will be of the 5000 ton class.
 We have been interested for a long time in a prophecy made by a group of men connected with the lake busi- ness to the effect that traff1c would shortly become so crowded lanes must be mapped out and rigidly Adhered to- It is a pleasant forecast to place faith in, since it means so much is pros perity to every important lake port. It may be that the carriers will have to undertake the work of charting the highways Of water trade with the close of the record-breaking season of 1910.-Toledo Blade.

More Wealthy Ambassadors.

Despite the agitation in favor of the appointTn ent of diplomatic representa- tives to the leading European countries upon some other basis than that of wealth. President Taft's appointments indicate that he has been compelled to follow in the footsteps of his predeces- sors and pick out men of large means, to whom the salaries of their respective posts will prove a mere incident in their expenses. President Taft did make some effort to change the GUS tom, and congress was appealed to to provide fitting residences abroad for our ambassadors but totally ignored the subject.
 utterly Impossible for a comparative ly poor man to accept an ambassador ship to any of the leading European capitals. The rental of a proper resi- dence at any one of them would eat up more than the salary of the post, while the absolutely necessary entertaining g would involve several times the sum total of the salary. Until congress makes up it's mind to properly com pensate diplomatic representatives and provide for their housing and main tenance, it is utterly useless to talk about the appointment of other than very rich men. Men of ordinary means. no matter how great their ability, would be utterly out of p1ace-in fact, they would not be acceptable at the capitals to which they might be accredited New Orleans Pacyune.

Rev. Mir. Scfel1 would verify. if he would consent to break the silence, the story it publishes. The paper says the confession it prints was made to a man of unassailable character. It was in 1907, according to the confession, while Lamphere lived in the Guinness home. that he assisted Mrs. Gunness in dis posing of the bodies of the three men, Each time a man was to be murdered sent him to purchase chloroform- Lien, one of the victims, was thought by Lamphere to be the third husband of Mrs. Guinness. At the time of the Lamphere trial it was thought Jennie Olson, whom Lamphere says he chlo- reformed, had been killed by Mrs. Guinness.
 Told About the Coming of the Victims.
 The confession details how Mrs. Gunness informed Lamphere of the coming of her victims. The first man killed was from Minnesota He never awolxe from his sleep in the Gunness home. In the darkness Lamphere was ordered by Mrs. Guinness to dump a that had been made by another farm hand for rubbish. Mrs. Guinness never told him what became of the man, but Lamphere received money from Mrs. Guinness. Within a month another man arrived. He wanted to know his rights before paying off the mortgage on the Guinness farm and Mrs. Guinness took him to St. Joseph, Mich, Lamphere thought, where they were married.
 A few nights after they came back there was another burying. Lamphere received money once more from Mrs. Guinness and he said he was the trust ed ally of Mrs. Gunness.

REPORT OF CHANGE IN
 ROCK ISLAND co. CONTROL.
Powerful Foreign interests at Work
 London Banker at Head.

New York, Jan. 13.--S. B. Chapin & Co. have been punished, Daniel G. Reid resigned today as chairman of the ex- ecutive committee of the Chicago, Rock Isirnd and Pacific Railway company, and now out of the mass of rumors which have cropped up since the re- cent sensational rise and fall in Rock Island common comes the apparently autehutic report that the control of the Rock Island company is to change and MT. Reid's influence Is to cease.
 Powerful foreign interests, headed by Dr. F. S. Pearson, a London bank CT, owner of Mexican properties and with strong Canadian connections, have recently acquired in the open market large blocks of Rhode Island common and preferred stocks The exact represents about one-ffth of the whole.
 The newcomers, it is understood, are working in harmony with Judge Will liam H. Moore and First National bank interests, who, with MT. Reid, have in recent years dominated the Rock Is- land properties. Judge Moore issued a. , statement today in which he said that he and Mir. Reid, contrary to report. were working in unison but he declin- ed to discuss the other developments in the Rock Island situation.
 Some time ago MT. Pearson attract ed the attention of Wall street by or ganizing a S40,000, 900 syndicate which took over extensive Mexican properties owned by Colonel William c. Greene, and also the uncodn pleted Chihuahua and Pacific Railroad company. This railroad, it is said, the Pearson inter- ests will extend not only to the Pacific, but nortEward to Fl Paso. Tex, where it would fit in with the Rock Island.
 Official announcement was made to- day of the resignation of Richard A. Jackson as president and director of the Rock Island company and of the election of Robert Walker, former as sistant general counsel, as his success or Mr. Walker was also elected a member of the board of directors. chairman of the executive committee and general counsel of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway com- pany. As chairman of the executive committee of this company he suc- eeeds MT. Reid. who resigned MT. Reid remains. however, as chairman Of the board of directors of this ompany, as we'll as a director of the Rock Is- land company and of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad company.
 Further changes in the official force and directorate of these companies, involving MT Reid, are forecasted as being probable.

LYNCH INVITED TO SPEAK.
New Britain Business Mems Assoeia- ton Wishes to Do Honor to National Baseball Executive.

 That the Business Mems association is fully appreciative of the honor that came to a member in the election o1 Thomas J. Lynch as president of the National Baseball league is shown by the fact that an invitation was for warded to MT. lynch asking him to sit at the head-board and respond to a toast, according to the New Britain Herald.

St. Louis. Jan. 1S.-Ray Lamphere, who died recently in the Indiana state prison at Michigan City while serving term for setting fire to the house of Mrs. Bella Guinness, near Laporte, Ind, left confession that he had assisted the arch -murderess in dfsposing of the bodies of three men When he be- and the confession is published today under copyright by the Post-Dispatch
 Lamphere said he saw one of the men killed and that he aided in bury ing three. These men were Andrew Helglein and probably Ole Budsburg and Tonnes Peterson Lien.
 Lamphere Had a Grievance.
 Lamphere said he thought he had part in disposing of the bodies as he considered himself entitled to and that he went to the farmhouse at night with woman, chloroformed Mrs. Gun ness, her three children and Jennie Olson and robbed the house of between $60 and $70. The light they used was 8 candle and they left the house with out knowing they had left behind a spark that soon burst into flames.
 Mrs. Gunness' method of killing her victims, Lamphere said, was first to chloroform them as they slept and then if the drug did not kill to use an axe.
 How Confession Was Made.
 Lamphere confessed to the Rev. Dr. E. A. Schen, former pastor of the La porte Methodist church, now president of the Iowa Wesleyan university at Mount Pleasant, but MT. Schen held it inviolate as a secret of the confes- sional. The Post-Dispatch says the

INHERITANCE TAXATION.
No Reciprocal Exemptions by Law
 This State and Massachusetts.

An opinion as to whether the es- tates of nonresident decedents whose legal residence is in Connecticut are exempt from taxation in Massachu- !setts, has been rendered by Attorney General Dana Malone of Massachu- setts at the request of Tax Commis- sioner William H Corbin. His opin- ion is that they are not.
 By the law of Massachusetts, the estate of a nonresident decedent is to a certain extent exempt from inherit ance taxation, provided that by the law of the state or country of his res- idence. like exemDtion is made in favor of the estates of citizens of that state Attorney General Malone is of the opinion that no exception in favor of the estates of citizens of Massachu- setts is made by the law of Connecti- cut corresponding to that made by the law of Massachusetts in favor of the estates of non-residents.
 Therefore Massachusetts will con- tinue to impose a tax on shares of Massachusetts corporations owned by Connecticut decedents, the certificates of which are not in that state. and Connecticut will continue to impose a tax on shares of stock of a Connec- ticut corporation owned by a Massa- chusetts decedent, the certificates of which are not within this state.

BAG OF GOLD FOUND IN sTEPNEY
Stone Removed from Base of Chimney in Leavenworth Place Leads to Find.

Three hundred dollars in $2.50 and S5 gold pieces which had been con- cealed at the base of an old fashioned chimney since the owner buried them during the civil war period was the find the other day of Frank GusHy, who recently purchased the old Abby Leavenworth place in Stepney.
 More than 40 years ago when gold was at a high premium and the cur rency of the country was much de- preciated, Miss Leavenworth, the own CT of the old place, was reputed to have buried this coin and from that day to the time it was dug out by the present owner of the old house it has apparently lain undisturbed.
 ; Why it was never recovered before does not appear, but the fact of its present recovery is pretty well estar 1ished, and it is flair to presume that Miss Lceavenworth feared for its safe ty If entrusted to the banks and thought the old chimney a better keeping place.
 Gusky recently biugf1t the place and the other day while making some re- pairs disloged a stone at the base of the chimney. and the bag with its val uable contents came to light. The story soon spread and was current talk over the telephones in Stepney, although no one seemed to have actually seen the coins but the finder.
 If Gusky were not the owner of the house his title to the find might be brought into question by the heirs of Miss Leavenworth, if there are any, but it is probable that his ownership in the treasure trove will never be questioned under any circumstances.

LECTURE
At Weston is Highly Praised
by the Weston Re
publican.

The Weston Republican gives the
following comment on a speech re-
Gently made at we.ton by Stuart F.
Reed, secretary OF state:
On Tuesday evening of last week
the citizens of Weston and teachers
attending the Round Table were
treated to amost splendid lecture by
the Secretary OF State, Hon. Stuart F.
Reed. To say his hearers were salts
fed with his efort would be but poor
compliment to=the truth and would do
Mr.. Reed an Injustice. For one hour
and a half he instructed and delight
ed one of the most intelligent and ap-
preciative audiences thath as ever as
sembIed in this section OF the state
on such an occasion. He dealt in
serious facts and laughable incidents
all highly contributive to entertain
ment and instruction. Pleasing ora
tory and convincing logic We'd with
each other for precedence. The wit,
wisdom and eIoquence OF r. G. Inger-
has in this production a success
ruI rival and one OF West virginia's
greatest orators has scored a high
mark on the honor roll. No more fin
ished lecture has ever been delivered
in Weston, and her people are justly
proud of the distinction attained by
the worthy citizen of our neighboring
city.

The Berkeley Springs property has

ways unique. Long before the oecu-
patton of the land east OF the Ale
ghanies by white settlers it was the
Rendezvous of a tribe of Indians who
believed that its waters were holy and
all healing to the righteous before
Manitou. This is said to have been
preserved in the tradition OF this
tribe of red men. In George Washing
tons time the springs were popular
and later it ranked as one of thefore-
most summer. resorts, being in a de-
Hghtful region and only short dis
lance from the city OF washington.

would gather for conferences during
