LOS ANGELES, Jan. 13.-Every-
one in Los Angeles tonight wants
to go up in an airship, not quite,
perhaps to the Martian canals, but
just low over the soft turf course
on sunny day, and it is fair to
say that if science develops as
fast as it did this afternoon, the
craze will be almost as common as
golf. While Paulhan did not do
anything so wonderful today, as
seeking a pathway to paradise, he
took up two passengers, Miscarol
and Mason, his assistants, and cir
cled the field with them several
times, then cut 'across-lots," in
what was considered an attempt to
slow down Glenn Curtiss, who was
flying on the regular course at the
same time for ten-lap speed rec

By Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 10
The Russ today prints secret
memorandum, presented by Minis
ter of Finance Kokovsoff to the
cabinet before his trip in the Far
East, which anticipated the Ameri-
can proposal for the naturalization
of the Manchurian railways.
Discussing the Chinese preten-
sions to the administration of the
railroad zone which he believed to
unjust, M. Kukovsoff said:
''Under these circumstances the
most satisfactory issue of the diff
cult relations between Russia and
China would be the transfer of the

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 13.-In a copy
righted story today the Post Dis
patch publishes what is claimed to
be the confession of Ray Lamphere,
who died recently in the Indiana
penitentiary at Michigan City, when
serving sentence for setting fire
to the home of Mrs. Belle Guinness
near LaPorte, Indiana, making it
known that DR.. E. A. Schell, form
erly OF LaPorte, heard the confess
sion. The confession shows that
Mrs. Guinness and her three chill
dren were chloroformed by Lam
phere who was robbing the house
with a woman accomplice; that
Jennie Olson was not killed by
Mrs. Guinness; that the chloroform
used was part of what he had
bought for Mrs. Guinness to kill
three men, one of whom was An
drew Helgelin, and the others prob
ably Ole Budsburg and Tonnis Pet
erson, and that one of these was
the third husband of Mrs. Gun
ness. The paper says if Schell
would consent to talk he could
verify the confession of the pub
fishers. The confession, according
to the paper, was obtained from a
man of unassailable character and
truthfulness, and whose standing in
the community where he lives is
such that his word is accepted un.
gu oned Schell is at Burling-
TOM Iowa, and after hearing the
confession which the Post Dispatch
printed, said he had not divulged
any such confession to any person
The staff correspondent of the pa

give public the confession of Ray
Lamphere on the ground ''It is

BALI PLAYERS ARE

Ball players in general are su-

in this respect" says John J. Evers,
the great second baseman of the
Cubs. "On the Chicago team, for
instance, | am, l believe, more in

other member of the club. In bat
ting practice before the game the
general belief is that you are not
hitting the ball hard or up in the
air. You will bat well in the
game ofttimes as a result In
many cases I have seen a player
hit two or three balls hard and
then go to the bench and refuse

the inning previous was favorable

HOW IT FEELS
TO RIDE in AN
AEROPLANE
By Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 13.-"All
who have had the good fortune TO
ride in an aeroplane," said one of
EN- the other day, unite in their
description of their first sensation.
There is no jerk in the starting,
though the machine may leap for
ward with a powerful swoop. Then
comes-with some-a brief sense of
nausea, feeling as if the ground
We're dropping away from beneath
"A slight thrust of the lever lifts
the flying machines head, the
ground drops away still faster.
When, as the aeroplane scars still
higher, it's occupants eyes adjust
themselves to the proper focus and
the surface of the earth below
seems to be ripping past at rail
way speed.
by this time you have forgotten
the clack' of the noisy motor, the
flap and whir of the propellers, the
grinding of the chain and sprOcket
gear that drives them. All vibra-
tion has practically ceased and you
float along with a sense of springy
ease and buoyancy such as you can
gain from no other means of loco
motion. That you are flying fast
you know only from the roar of
the wind in your ears and the slight
difficulty you have in filing your
lungs with air-the same sensation

machine rises to take it, taking its

have no sense of leaning sideways

tilt yourself as YOU do when an
automobile turns corner. for you

Woman Was Choroformed While Lamphere
and Female Companion Robbed House.

the fact that Mrs. Guinness is dead
and that the body found in the
smoking ruins of the Guinness farm
house was the body of the alleged
murderess. She was in the deep
sleep that chloroform induces when
smoke crept through the crevices
and smothered her. She died with
the head of her little boy pillowed
on her breast. He, too, was chloro-
formed, and died without waking.
The two little girls, Myrtle and
Lucy, were not so thoroughly
chloroformed and awoke and ran
to their mothers room where they
perished. Jennie Olson, a niece and
adopted daughter of Mrs. Guinness,
who was believed to have been MUIR

year before the house was burned,
and whose body was believed to
be buried in the farmyard, was
not murdered by Mrs. Guinness, ac-
cording to the confession, but was

that destroyed the house. She also
was chloroformed.
Assuming that Lamphere told
the truth about Jennie Olson, the
identity of the girl buried in the
yard adds another mystery to the
case. Mrs. Guinness made mis-
take in believing she could safely
break with Lamphere under the
belief that completely in her crimes
would keep him silent. Lamphere
let himself into the house on the
night of the fire and the chloro-
form was administered. A search
for money was made but less than
$40 was found. Then he and the
woman whom, he says, accompanied
him, went away, and according tc
Lamphere were hurting away to-
ward the country where he was to
work that day. He looked back
and saw the flames bursting from
the house.
