Ind., May 1.-Just before noon today. Sheriff Smutser and Miner Schultse, who are sluicing the astes In the debi is of the Guinness fire, found the up per and lower plates which came from Mrs. Guinness' mouth, both containing her false teeth. Dr. I. P. Norton, who made the lower plate. Immediately Identified and also Iden tified the upper plate, frequently having seen It, although It was made before he became her dentist. "This proves beyond the shadow of a doubt." said Sheriff Smutxer, "that Mrs. Guinness waa burned to death In the fire," Olsea Girl Declared Dead. The issuing of a death certificate for Jennie Olsen and the turning over of the body by Coroner Mack to the relatives In Chicago puts the official stamp of Identification upon one of the bodies found on the Guinness farm regarding which there has been much controversy. - Although Identified by her brother and sister, many refuse to believe that the girl was dead, for the reason that Mrs. Guinness had made It a point to In form a number of persons that Jennie had gone to Los Angeles to attend school and had arranged little Incident that would help to make this point strong with such people as might be Inquisitive on the sub ject. The grand Jury resumed Its sessions to day. The seven unidentified bodies, one female and the others male, exhumed from Mrs. Guinness' barnyard were today burled in the potter' field. Prosecuting Attorney R. N. Smith today said that Ray Lamphere, now held In Jail here on the charge of murdering Mrs. Guinness and her children, will not be tried before September 1. Prosecutor Smith admitted that Inas much as so many people in and about Ln Porte believe Mrs. Guinness to be still alive, he expected to experience much dif ficulty In proving that she was murdered by Lamphere.

In September and In November, and arbitrarily fixe what the difference of all grades shall be for two months, or for ten months, while the New Orleans ex change follow the actual market differ ences for these grades as established by dally spot transactions. In a recent report on cotton exchange. Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of cor porations, said that In New Tork the com mittee Is usually made up of men who are largely operators on the exchange, and who are constantly Interested In the future market. "It Is within their power," said the commissioner, "so to fix these differ ences as to affect enormously the value of their own future contracts." "In the revision of November. 19r, when were radically wrong, several members of the differences fixed by the committee this committee have admitted that they were at the time heavily Interested In fu ture contracts, and they profited by the action of the committee. There la no con clusive proof that they Intended this. It Is sufficient to point out that this flxl dif ference system, applied thus arbitrarily by a amall body of men, furnishr-d a condition In this case, where these men had the power thus to reap profits, and the motive for so doing was extremely strong."

In fact, I do not know of any other state In which our people had so much to overcome aa they had in Pennsylvania.

SENATE LEADERS STUDY MEASURE v Aldrlrh, Hale and Alllaoa Are af th Opialaa that It Weald B Bad Legislation ta Enact. WASHINGTON. May 1.-That there wilt be no currency legislation at th present session of congress Is now believed by many members to be almost a certanlty. The conferees on the senate and house bills have held several sessions In an ef fort to work out something under th head of the Aldrich-Vreelard bill, but they are said to have almost abandoned hope. As a result there is a decided sentiment among the congress that the whole subject should go over until next session. In that event the work would be taken up next session by the same con ferees, aa the bill Introduced at th pres ent session do not die until th end of th congress. The senate committee on finance ha been swamped with protests from banker nd commercial Interest tgalnst th Vreeland bill. For the benefit of the confesees. th views contained In the letters to the conr mlttee have been collated and "dangers" of the bill pointed out as follow: First Tht the market value of govern ment bonds would be Impaired by reason of banks selling bonds in reducing thetr clrculstlon with a view to placing them selves In position to have the largest privi lege of p.Mln(? the proposed notes. Second Thst msny banks would be driven oui of business. In Issuing the proposed notes, the stronger banks mould be un willing to guarantee the pavment of the notes of the weaker Institutions. These un fortunate consequences could hardly fall to result In thus publicly branding a bank. Third That a panic would Immediately ! be precipitated If at any critical period the I aasvciatlons should take step to Issue the r.w notes. Knowledge of such tep could hsrdly be kept from the public. Senators AMrl.-h. Hale and Allison have been studying the Vreeland bill for the lat two days ind they are of the opinion that It would be bud legislation to enact. At the same time they realise that th house Is opposed 1o msny of the Importsnt provis ion of the Aldrlch bill and that th pro pects of overcoming th opposition In the short time remaining of the present session are not good.

A republlcin conference will be held tomorrow nl;ht to determine the attlt.ide of the major.ty in the house toward the passage at thla s s sion of a law to restrict the court In thi Issuing of Injunctions, as demanded b labor leaders. A number of antl-lnjunctl m bills, so-called, have been referred to the Judiciary committee, but no action on them has been taken.
