POSTAL LAWS ABUSED BY RURAL MERCHANTS Postoffice Department Intends to Put Stop to Practice By Associated Press. Washington, May having reached the Postoffice Department of certain methods by which the postal laws in regard to mailable and unmailable merchandise on rural routes have been evaded, rural carriers are permitted to deliver as express matter for hire, for patrons of their routes, unmajlable merchandise weighing in excess of Tour pounds. An example of the abuse of this privilege is that of a merchant who sent out by rural carriers as mail matter a pair of shoes to which he added a bag of salt to make the package overweight that and to avoid paying postage so the carrier might carry the package for him.

In view of such abuses. Fourth Assistant Postmaster General DeGraw has issued the following statement: packages of merchandise to be sent out by rural carriers by merchants the towns should be presented at postoffices for inspection, and in case it is found that extraneous matter not ordered by the patrons has been added to any mailable matter or package for the purpose of making such package of matter unmailable, postmasters should refuse to permit the carrier to carry any such matter or package for hire outside of the mails, and rural carriers should not receive any mail from trons as unmailable matter for hire which they suspect has been made unmailable by such devices as adopted by the merchant referred to.17 JOHN PIERSOL MCASKEY. The Mayor of Lancaster. POLICE TO UNRAVEL GUINNESS MYSTERY Monster's Victims Were Slain by Deadly Amount of Chloroform By Associated Press. Chicago, May dispatch to the from Laporte, says: A complete solution of the mystery of the Guinness murder farm is expected within forty -eight hours.

The officials who have been conducting the search for the victims of the house of many deaths practically admitted this fact yesterday. They refused, however, to make known their purposes further than to say that the final step may be taken to-day or to-morrow at the latest. The mystery surrounding four of the fourteen deaths which are known to have occurred at the place is cleared by the allegation that Ray Lamphere, the former farm hand, prisoner in the county jail, set fire to, the home of Mrs. Bella Guinness on the morning of April 28 and thereby caused the death of the widow and the three children. For this, if proven guilty, under the provisions of the Indiana State laws, to conviction for murder in the, first degree as well as for arson.

Indictments against him upon both of these charges will be asked of the grand jury on y. As to the manner of death of the ten murdered persons whose bodies were uncovered in a little patch of ground guarded by closely woven wire netting, the silence of officers in response to queries as to the arrest of one or more accomplices provides the only answer. That the victims came to their death through the administration of a deadly amount of chloroform has been proved. The places at which the drug was purchased during the last eight years have been found. That the corpses then were dismembered either in a chamber of horrors on the second floor of the Guinness home, or in the basement has been shown to the satisfaction of the investigators.

Two knives, one a six-inch dagger and the other a needle pointed double razoredged surgeons' knife, have been found in the ruins. That the big, stolid Norwegian WO man enticed some of them into her lair by the habit of matrimonial advertisements and there had an active hand in ies is said to have been established killing them and disposing of their bod- da without question. The one remaining question, that of whether she had assistance in her crimes, is to be met by the action that is expected almost hourly. The arrival at this point has been preceded by a hunt for details, rumors of which have been made public. Here and there bits of evidence have leaked out, but the great array of facts, it is said, was secured from statements made by Lamphere.

DIES CHERISHING THE MEMORY OF HERO-HUSBAND Mrs. Mulligan Passes Away After 44 Years of Loyal Devotion By Associated Press.

I have not said anything publily regarding the Vice Presidency, as the matter has not been broached to me in a way which seemed to require any action on my part.

But I do not desire to have my silence misrepresented, and you as a delegate to the convention are entitled to an unequivocal statement. You are entirely right in your assumption a sto my attitude. 4T should not care to be though lacking in appreciation of the distinetion of the office. But for reasons which are controlling and leave no room for discussion, and though I would be deeply sensible of the honor thereby conferred, I should not be able to accept, and would not in any contingency accept, a nomination for the Vice Presidency. even were I electel, I could not MEN FOR NAVY.

Poughkeepsie, N. May K. Thaw was visited in the Dutchess county jail this morning by Dr. John P. Wilson, a medical examiner of this city.

Dr. Wilson was called in by Thaw's counsel and if his examination satisfies him that prisoner is sane he will be one of the five experts that relator will put on the stand when the habeas corpus proceedings are begun before Justice Morschauser in this city on Thursday. In the hour and a half occupied by the court this morning in the trial of the conspiracy charges against Joseph T. Huston et in connection with the furnishing of the new capitol, three jurors, were selected, the foreman being a colored janitor from Steelton. That there is going to be a bitter contest on the part of the defence was apparent from the start.

Messrs. Bergner and Hensel, who questioned the jurors for the defence, and Messrs. Fox and Weiss, who performed that office for the State, were each other from start to finish, and occasionally George 9. Graham would hand out a suggestion in a deep bass voice. of Seats For All.

The interest manifested was not SO great as on the former trials, and there were plenty of seats for all who cared to be present. The tedious work of securing a jury went on during the afternoon, and the real work of trying the case by the introduction of evidence will not commence before to-morrow morning. The second in the series of trials of men charged with conspiracy in connection with the furnishing of the new State capitol commenced this morning, when Architect Joseph M. Huston, exState Treasurer Mathues, ex-Auditor General Snyder, ex-Superintendent of Public Grounds and Buildings Shumaker, Frank M. Irvine and Congressman H.

Burd Cassel were arraigned on a charge of conspiracy growing out of the furnishing of metal fixtures in the various departments, which, it is claimed, was not only short in weight and measure but was over-charged, resulting in the State being swindled. Attracted Lots of Attention. The defendants are all charged with knowledge of the fraud and conspiracy to bring it about. This case has attracted more than usual attention from the fact that Huston and Cassel are men of prominence in affairs. Huston was the architect for the capitol and designed the furniture and many of the decorations.

Cassel was in Congress at the time it is alleged he was soaking the State through the Pennsylvania Construction Company, which had the contract for the metal furniture. ile was afterwards re but declined to take his seat while under fire, and W. W. Griest was elected to succeed him. The present trial WAS postponed from yesterday because Attorneys Gilbert and Bergner, who are counsel for several of the defendants, were engaged on a case before Judge McCarrell, which did not end until this morning.

Jurors in Their Seats. The special jurors drawn to try the case were all in their seats long before the court house bell summoned them, but the defendants and attorneys were not so prompt. They knew they have a five weeks' siege ahead of them, so what's the use of hurrying? And that hive weeks of trying their case is 11O joke. Men who profess to know, hav. ing had experience, say that June rosag will have come and gone and the bang of the Fourth of July firecrackers will be heard faintly in the distance before the end of this trial is in sight.

Huston's First Appearance. District Attorney Weiss was the first to arrive, followed quickly by James Scarlet, and the prosecution was ready. Attorneys George S. Graham, A. C.

S. Shields and Samuel M. Clement, came in with their client, Joseph M. Huston, the latter's first appearance in the court room. During the preliminaries of the first trial Huston did not appear, knowing that the prosecution had agreed to give him a severance and his presence was not necessary.

Huston looked a trifle careworn, but showed no nervousness. By 10.15 all of the counsel were present, when Judge Kunkel announced that the case would not be taken up until 11 o'clock, and the attorneys left the room. When case was called for trial those of the defendants present were Huston, Snyder, Shumaker, Mathues, Cassel and Irvine, and the army torneys was added to by Wm. U. Hensel, Wm.

I. Schaffer, Percy Rose, Lyman D. Gilbert, Chas. H. Bergner, W.

W. McElree and Albert S. Miller, all for the defence, and Senator Fox and Deputy Attorney Cunningham for the State. The preliminary of calling the of jurors was gone through with, disclosing that all were present except George Olewine, of the Seventh ward, the ter having a very sick wife. Had Read Headlines.

District Attorney Weiss announced that the State was now ready to try case No. 229, the charge being conspirto cheat and defraud the State of acy $5,090.000. There was a reaching for jury lists on the part of the attorneys as a jury was about to be called. John B. Fisher, ironworker, of Middletown, was the first man called, and had not formed or expressed an opinion on the case.

He had never read about the capitol case-only the headlines, and didn't discuss the matter because he took no interest in it. He was challenged by the defence. George B. Miller, a car inspector of Swatara township, was called. He had read about these cases, heard them discussed but had not taken part in the discussion and had formed no opinion, even though he had been present at the first trial and heard it discussed in the court house.

He was challenged by the Commonwealth. Formed an Opinion. George I. Lebo, an Oberlin car inspector, was the third man called. He had formed an opinion from reading the Continued on Sixth Page..
