STATE HAS OTHER PROOF Prosecution AVill Prove 'by Other Meiins, Says Court, Mrs. Gun ness Came to Her Death In a I 'ire. LA PORTR. Ind., Xov. 13. The defense In the Lamphere murder trial in its ef fort to prevent certain evidence poinp to the Jury suffered its first defeat today, when Judse Richter ruled that the report of the coroner's verdict was admissible as primary evidence. The ruling followed exhaustive arguments by the attorneys for the state and for L.ampliere. The defendant looked paler than on yes terday. He was unnerved considerably during the opening statement by Prosecu tor Smith of yesterday, and today looked as though he had not slept well. When questioned, he said Mr. Smith's state ment was "very strong, but there Is noth ing In the claim that I went past the Gunness house that morning." Tells or Finding Bodies. Coroner Hack "was the first witness on the stand. He was uuitc uncertain about his answers at times. He testified to the hnding of the bodies in the ruins, and said that one was that of an adult fe male and the other three were those of children. Attorney Sutherland conducted the ex amination for he state. Dr. Mack testi fied that in addition to the bodies he found a number of bones, including a piece of human vertebrae, a part of a large jawbone. The bones, which hail been seale.d in a jar, were then introduced in evidence. A piece of charred cloth taken from the palm of one of the hands was also offered in evidence and identified by the coroner. After Coroner Mack had identified the report of the inquest, which he held, it was offered in evidence by the state. The defense at once objected. Cpon the court ruling that the inquest report was admissible, the examination of Coroner Mack was resumed. Other Proor Coming. Judge Richter withheld his decision on the question of the admission of the in quest reports over the bodies of the three children. Attorney Worden cross-examined Coroner Mauk and drew from him the admission that he had not weighed the body of the adult female found in the fire and that he was unable to tell what caused a hole discovered in the skull in one of the children. Dr. Mack stated that the head of the adult body was miss ing. Dr. F. T. Wilcox, who conducted the autopsy over one of the children, was unable to determine the causa of death. At the opening of the afternoon session. Judge Richter instructed the jury to dis regard the Coroner's verdict as proof of Mrs. Gunness' death, as the state would prove that by other means. con BACK to cm NO OPPOSITION IX SIGHT FOR PRESIDENCY. Mitchell's Seat Probably Only One Over Which Federation Will Contest. DENVER, Colo., Nov. 13. Rumors of contests for official honors in the Amer ican Federation of Labor are beginning to be heard, although the election of of ficers does not occur until the latter part of next week. No one Is mentioned as an opponent of President Gompers for re-election, but there is a report that Thomas 1 Lewis, who succeeded John Mitchell as president of the United Mine workers of America, will oppose him for the position of second vice-president. It is reliably stated that Mitchell wants re election, tout in spite of this desire Lewis will come out for the office. Lewis ar gues, it Is said, that Mitchell, having accepted & place with the National Civiy Federation, cannot hold office in both organizations. Other, contests are men tioned, but the one reported to be on which Mitchell and Lewis are engaged attracts the attention of the delegates at present. Today being the last day on which res olutions can be introduced, a flood of them was ready when the sessions of the federation began. The matter of the next meeting place is becoming an inter esting topic of discussion among the del egates, a large number of them appar ently favoring Toronto. Canada, for 1909. The first order of business was the re port of the committee on rules on the following rule which had been submitted to the committee: "No negative motion or negative substi tute shall be entertained." After a brief discussion the rule was voted down and a new rule adopted, as follows: "Committee reports shall be subject to amendments or a substitute to which any motion is subject." The object of this rule Is to prevent conflicts over negative motions or mo tions to non-concur on committee reports. Previous conventions have had the same dispute over this question, and the dele gates were anxious to debate the matter. The rule was finally adopted. 137 to 7. The report of the committee on rules was then adopted as a whole. The secretary read invitations for the next federation convention from Detroit, Milwaukee. St. Louis. Lansing, Mich, To ronto and Washington. In order to give th s committees time to consider the various matters referred to them, the convention at 10:30 A. M. ad journed until tomorrow morning.

SCHWAB CRITICISES LABOR Steel Magnate Sees Conditions Rad ically Wrong in Bay City. SAX FRANCISCO. Nov. 13. In ail ad dress delivered at the organization ban q.uet at the Rotary Club. local promo- Itlon organization, Charles M. Schwab, head of the Bethlehem Steel Corpora I tion. last night attributed the present condition of American shipping to the "incomprehensible ruling of the Inter state Commerce Commission. wmcn compels transcontinental railroads .to publish their division of charges with ocean carriers. Because of this ruling, he declared. It was possible for steam ers of foreign registration to quote through rates and underbid the Ameri can companies. He advised th.e citizens of San Francisco to protest against the ruling and asserted that if he owned one of the lines- to which he made ref erence he would refuse to operate It ather than operate at a loss. The cost of labor in this city, said Mr. Schwab, is twice as much as in any of the Kastern cities, not so much because of the wage paid, but on account of the amount and quality of work per formed. "I lost fci.Ouu.oOO here in one year because of the attitude of union labor, and scratched It off my books as charged. "It may take a long time to realize It. but the awakening must come. Con certed action by all the merchants in volved, pcxeistent and unremitting, will relieve the situation. Until that is done San Francisco will not assume the posi tion that is rightfully hers in the com mercial world. And when it has been done I shall be ready to risk my dollars here with many other Jiastern capital ists." As Mr. Schwab had just announced an investment of 42.00o.ono here In the ex tension of the Union Iron Works, his remarks were received" with the gravest attention. He left the banquet table to board a train for the K:ist. STMDHID OILY EOT RATE CLERK GIVES DAMAGING EVI DENCE AGAINST OCTOPUS. Eastern 'Railroad Had . Difficult Work Complying With Require ment of Interstate Commission. NEW YORK. Nov. 13. A tariff sheet quoting a rate of six c.-nts a hundred pounds for oil in carload lots between Whitinc Ind.. and Chicago, was sent to the agent of the Standard Oil Company in 10O:, and to no otiier concern, accord ing to Fred O. Hollands, the Chicago & Alton's tariff clerk who gavo testimony today in the Government's suit to dis solve the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. The witness declared it was the practice to send tariff sheets only to shippa-rs interested in the transportation of the particular kind of goods mentioned in the rates. As no other concern was shipping oil Irom the points spoken of but the Standard, said the witness, the tariff sheet in question went only to them. iir. Hollands said that hardly a month passed that the road did not have diffi culty in complying with the requirements of the Interstate Commerce Commission in the matter of filing rates. In the event of conflicting rates, he said, as when the listed tariff- for oil .was 10 cents and the actual shipping rate six cents, the lower rate was permitted to govern ail oil ship ments. The highest rate was always done away with, added the witness. MEN BURIED, WIVES INSANE No Hope for 3 60 Germans En tombed in Coal-Mine. HAMM. y Westphalia, Germany, Xov. 13.
