Lamphere Confesses Gunness Murder Horrors
FIGHT TO
Federal Incorporation to
Be Bitterly Contested
Fortifications in Pacific
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 — In the
belief that nothing abort of tre
mendous administration Influence
will enact into law the bill pro
viding for a Federal incorporation
act, soon to be recommended by the
president, many members of Con
gress insist not only upon a full dis
cussion of the measure but upon
amendments which will in their
judgment be necessary to make the
measure effective In dealing with the
corporations.
Need of a forfeiture clause, by
which the corporation persistently
violating the law can have Its char
ter revoked, seems to be absolutely
necessary If the corporations are to
be effetclvely controlled.
Many congressional lawyers are
advocating a compulBorj lncor|»ora
tlon act nnd not a voluntary Federal
incorporation law. Comment Is not
lacking that this radical proposal is
brought forth for tne purpose of kill
ing any incorporation act whatever
and it i« evident the issue is to be
a pronounced and stubbornly contest
ed one.
The House passed the fortifica
tions appropriation bill, carrying
95,617,200. Almost half of the
amount Is to be spent for fortifica
tions in the Philippines and Hawaii.

Helped Woman l^ill and Bury Men
Victims maaa Chloroformed Her and
Children Fire Was an Accident
NT. LOUS, JAN. 13-ACCORDING TO A COPYRIGHTED STORY
OF THE POST-DISPATCH TODAY, RAY LAMPHERE, WHO DIED RE
GENTLY IN THE INDIANA STATE PENITENTIARY, CONFESSED ON
HIS DEATH BED TO REV. DR. E. A. SCHALL THAT HE ASSISTED
MRS. BELLE GUN NESS IN DISPOSING OF THE BODIES OF THREE
MEN WHO HE KNEW HAD BEEN MURDERED ON THE WOMAN’S
FARM NEAR LA PORTE, INI). LAM
PHERE, ACCORDING TO THE COX
fpssiiin, thought he had not received
as much of the profits from the trans
actions as he considered himself en
titled to. He therefore went to
the farm house at night with a wom
an, chloroformed Mrs. Gunness, her
three children and Jennie Olson.
He said the woman with him
searched the house, finding between
*80 and *70. The light by which
they worked, he said, was a candle,
and they left the house without
knowing that they had left behind a
spark that soon burst into flames,
destroying the dwelling and burning
the helpless woman and children to
death.
Mrs. Gunness’ method of killing
her victims, Lamphere said, was first
to chloroform them as they slept and
then, if the drug did not itself kill,
to sever their heads from their
bodies with an axe.
JEach time a man .vas to be mur
dered. according to Lamphere, she
sent him to purchase the chloroform.
Lamphere said he was drunk the
night he visited the place to search
it for money. He thought he would
find *1,500, but the money had been
placed in a bank the day before by
Mrs. Gunness.

MARSHFIELD, Ore, Jan. 13.—
When morning broke today the
wrecked steamer Czarina was plain
ly visible and from the shoro a half
dozen men could be seen clinging to
the rigging of the last remaining
mast.
Breakers are still dashing over the
vessel and life savers are unable to
reach the Czarina.
Of the 31 men of the ill fated
steamer which sunk on the Coos Bay
bar yesterday, and was practically
wrecked, only two have thus far been
rescued.
It is believed that the group of sur
vivors seen on tho wrecked vessel to
day include Capt. Duggen and Har
old Millls, the only passenger.
The steamer left port last evening

IB OF
AVIATION CAMP, Los Angeles,
Jan. 13.—Louis Paulhan, the
French aviator, broke an official and
unofficial records for altitude in a
Farman biplane this afternoon.
It is estimated he rose not less
than 4,000 feet. As methods of
measurements, are not exact, this
may be questioned, but it Is certain
that he exceeded Hubert Latham’s
record, made at Mourraelon, France,
December 13, 1909, which was given
at between 1,400 and 1,800. The in

breaking over the bar as the Czar
ina attempted to pass out into the
ocean. Those on shore who had
gathered to watch the departure of
the boat were suddenly startled
to see the Czarina sweeping toward
the North Spit. Her engines appar
ently had been disabled. The heavy
seas seemed almost to envelope the
steamer and she drifted rapidly on
to the spit at a point about a mile
above the Jetty. The disabled ves
sel pounded heavily while great
waves swept over her.
The crew crowded into the rigging
and could be seen making frantic
gestures for help, while hundreds on
shore, among them C. J. Millie, man
ager of the steamship company,
whose son was on board the Czarina,
were compelled to stand Idly by and
see man after man washed over
board.
So rough was the sea that all ef
forts of the life saving crew to
launch a boat were in vain while
attempt after attempt to shoot a line
from shore across the vessel also
failed. The distance is too great.
Said to have a wide reputation as
a hotel swindler, Elizabeth Killings
worth Brown was arrested at Denver
on a fraudulent check charge.
So Says Tex-San Fran
cisco Sports Would Like
to-The Herget’s History
The Associated Press dispatch
printed in the News yesterday morn
ing from San Francisco regarding
the attitude of Supervisor Herget,
made the latter look in the local eye
In the light of a hold-up man. At
least that was the current expres
sion yesterday. So tar as Rickard is
concerned, Tex has the naming of
the place where the fight is to take
place, notwithstanding Jack Gleason
is his partner.
“The fight will not take place In
San Francisco or any other place un
der such conditions,” was the reply
made to the News by Mr. Rickard,
when shown a copy of the Associated
Press dispatch.
As for John L. Herget, he is bet
ter known in the realm of sport as
“Young Mitchell,” and is one of the
newly elected- Ban Francisco board
of supervisors. The board was
elected in November and took Us
seat only a few days since, Herget
being made chairman of the Police
Committee. Mr. Herget has lost no
time in making felt his position in
the world of sport. In San Francisco
the supervisors check the number of
fights by granting but one permit a
month to a so-called athletic club,
which are clubs in name only.
Applications for the permits are
made to the board, and then referred
to the Police Committee. As a mat
ter of fact the granting of the per
mit is one of the prerogatives ol the
committee, and what the committee
says, usually goes. Such has always
been the case in harmonious boards,
and this new' board has all the ap
pearance of being harmonious.
John Herget was once in the ring
himself, in the old, old days. John
was wise in his generation, for he
retired before going down to defeat,
and went into the saloon business
and drove a thriving trade on his
reputation; nor could he ever be
tempted by the honors of the squared
circle. John was the popular idol
of the gilded youth of San Francisco,
and the gilded youth who knew
“Young Mitchell’s" real name was
one to be looked up to on the cock
tail route of dear old Frisco. He
was some cocktails, he was. “Mitch”
always kept an orderly house, and he
was always on the Job, early and
late; and a man, on or off the wag
on, was always sate where the map
of "Mitch” adorned the bar.
Altogether, “Young Mitchell” was
a "desirable citizen.” The only con
nection he had with the ring was as
