The confeeelon If true, W1H aolve many of the mysteries rt the Guinness murder farm at Fa Porte, Ind- and would hang both Truelson. and Jtay Lamphere, the L Porte suspect now under indlotment. The Vernon, Tex., prisoner Is 2J ytars old and gives the name of Julius G. Truelson, Jr." He claims to be the son -of a wealthy manufacturer. Truelson has been 'In. -Jell there since March 2. charged with, swindling by repre senting himself to be Jonathan Q. Thaw of Pittsburg, a cousin of Marry K. Thaw, and passing many forged checks. Traeleon Disposed of Wife. Aocording to the alleged confession ot Truelson, h took his wife, Mae Frances O'RelHey of Rochester, N. Y to the Guinness fsrm to have her put out of the way and helped Lamphere bury her, and assisted In disposing of six other bodies' at the Uulnnesa farm. , Mae O'Reilly Is missing. Truelson Jr., has since retracted the alleged confession. The police of Rochester tried ten days ago to find her and reported that she had disap peared about the time Truelson, according to 'he "confession." took her to La Porte to have her killed so that he could marry again. Jewelry bearing the name of Mae P. O'Reilly waa j found In the Guinness ruins. ' Further, Truelson "confesses" that he In tended to .take his . second wife, Sarah Arabella Vreeland, daughter of C. H. Vree land of East Nlnty-thlrl street, Canarsls. L. I., with whom he eloped In March last, to the Guinness farm. All that prevented him, the "confession" says, was a letter from Mrs. Guinness tell ing him that the sheriff was making iw qulrte a bo at the disappearance of some ot her victims and that he should come alone. Too l oans; to Marry . Her. In his "confession," Truelson said he can read Danish well enough to understand, but cannot Speak the language, and that early In 1904 he' reatl Mrs. Guinness' matrimonial advertisement , in m Danish.

Truelson declared in the "confession," that Mrs.- Guinneaa told him she was prac ticing midwife Illegally and that many ot her patients died, and it was part ot her contract to dispose of the bodies. Phe said she had one man, but tt required two to do the work. Sheriff Smutxer reached La Porte this forenoon. He said: "I will continue the Investigation Into the alleged confession of Truelson, even though ha has since repudiated It." Relatives say Story Is False. NEW TORK, June 1. -Julius O. Truelson, the young man whose alleged confession In connection with the Guinness farm mys tery and his subsequent retraction was made public today, Is believed by his family to be mentally unsound. His brother, Hsrry, said Julius had been Irresponsible ' since he was struck by a trolley car In Broadway here five years ago. Julius sus tained Injury to the skull at that time, the brother said, and Harry believe his brain affected. Harry said the story told by Julius of .his connection with the Guinness farm affair could not possibly be true, as Julius was serving a eerlenre in Elmlra reformatory at the time covered by the alleged . confession. Young Truelson' family are In fairly good circumstances They say they hav exhausted every effort tn an unsuccessful attempt to reform Julius and they wilt hav nothing mora to do with Norwegians Will Celebrate. , SIOUX PALLS.

TONE OF CONDITIONS IS HIGH r real dent Natt Infer la Ills Address Shows an Increase .In Assets of Nearly ' Three ' Million Dollars. ' - Th seventeenth annual semlnn of the Ne braska State League of local Loan and Building asoclatlons .closed Its work Mon day evening at 8:15 o'clock by the election of these officers for the ensuing year: President, C. W. Drinninger ef Grand Island. First vice president, II. A. Graff of Second vice president.. K. M. GUlan of Auburn. ... Third vice president, George F. Gilmore of Omaha. 1 Seoretary-jtreasurer, Elmer E. Bryscn of Omaha. The next annual meeting will be held in Grand Island. The 4-afternoon tisesslon - Uwss de voted to the reading and discussion of miscellaneous papers. Theso included "Some Objections to the Dayton Plan," by A. Truesdell of Fremont; "Amendment to the Nebraska Building and Loan Associa tion Law," by William Balrd of Omaha; "Building and Loan Associations attract a Business Man," by David Cole of Omaha, and "Should-Deposits be Guaranteed by Stat and National Banks.". by C. F. Mc Grew of Omaha. In his paper Mr. McOrew took a strong stand against the guaran teeing of deposits, holding that-Instesd of inviting honesty In the administration of bank affairs, such a law would act exactly the reverse. He held further that such a law would haev the effect of driving many conservative bankers out of tho business, because It would place them at the mercy of careless and dishonest bankers. "Bank ing is a private business," he said, "built up by the enterprise, conservatism and honesty of honest men. Two-fifths of the entire banking business of -the world Is done by the American banks and nowhera In the world is that business conducted more honestly or intelligently. Panic. Not Averted. The guaranteeing of deposit of a bank by the government or state will not stop a panic. I do not believe that the govern ment, or etate has any more right to guarantee the deoslts of a bank thnntt ha to guarantee any other business. If banking is to be ft government Institution, thei make It such an Institution . abso lutely. Bankers are much like other men. They aer of the same flesh and blood as other men and aer no better nor worse than other men. Great as we are, do we want to change our entire financial sys tems now. They have htood the test of years, and ! do not think we can improve on them. I bellev the time will come Mr Balrd, In ' his ' paper, recommended that the by-laws of the association should be so ariiended as to Increase the capital stock, and that stockholders should be per mitted to vote by mall. He was opposed to any other changes tn the present by laws. ' His- recommendations were referred to the executive ' committee! as- was a resolution that efforts be made to have a law passed by the legislature exempting building and loan associations from taxa tion. when a bank failure will be a thing of the past. We are proud of our great banking institutions and they are worthy of our confidence." w At 6:S0 the delegates were entertained at dinner by the local associations, fol lowing which a theatre party was given them. Some few of the delegates availed of the opportunity to visit the den. where they were introduced Into the dignities' of knighthood in the Kingdom of Ak-Sar-Ben. he executive committee was authorlied to add three members to that committee, as a committee on legislation. The Tecumseh and Falrbury associa tions were added to the membership ot the stata legue. The seventeenth annual meeting of the Nebraska State League of Local Loan and Building association convened in the ban quet hall of the Hotel Loyal at 11 a. m. Monday, with about fifty delegates present from all parts of the state. The meeting was called to Order by President M. Nattlnger, who introduced C. O. Lobeck, city comptroller of Omaha, who delivered the address of welcome on behalf of the city In the absence of Mayor Dai)lman confined to his home by Illness. C. W. Brlnnlnger of Fremont responded briefly to the address of welcome. Chslrman Nattlnger then announced the committees: Credentials, H. M. Stratton of Wahoo; H. Hackenberger of Colurrlbus and J. J. Flts gerald of South Omaha. .Resolutions. A. Truesdell of Fremont; George F. Gilmore of Omaha and R. M. GUlan of Auburn. Address by th President. President Nattlnger then read his annual address, which stated: v We have about completely recovered from the panicky conditions which shook the financial framework of the entire nation, and from all over the country come re ports of renewed confidence in the business of the building and loan associations, complete recovery from the l-uslness lost and an accession of membership. From the very excellent report of the secretary of the State Banking board we find that there wore sixty-six associations In the slate at the close of June, 1!m7. an Increase of five during the ftecal yettr those five having accumulated ttf.-UVIS sine organisation; that there were 315.374 shares In force and the number of shares Issued during the year were 110.734, an In crease of 32.37; the miniher of bor rowing stockholders Increased .7X and In vestors S.4)-, giving a total membership of 89.22$; amount -of loans.

This statistical Information would hardly be complete did I not add that there were In the L'nited Slates S7 associations with a membership of 1, 809.967 and assets of $728,084,510. the Increase for the year being t64.ri6.X12, snd In membership llo.tfl Going sllll further into the state banking board report it Is found that the average rale ot dividend paid to the membership has been s & per cent. This, to me. ts just cause for criticism Implying that a heavy rate is charged to the borrower.

I nlform Mortarnsre Clans. In concluding his address Mr. Nattlnger recommended that the associations adopt a uniform mortgage clause esslgnment of Insurance policies, both fire and tornado, for the reason, ss he alleges: 'The forms generslly Issued are those prepared by the Insurance companies, and naturally contain' restriction which are Intended ' to protect the company rather than the ' Insured on the mortgages. I would further suggest that we take the opportunity - when It offers to urge other associations,' not members of this league, to aid us In ouf labors by Joining and be coming active in the Meetings and in the future labor which U bound to follow In the framing of Hse'u! statutes and the defeating of measure which will hamper or destroy our usefiflnea." 1 Secretary-Treasurer E.' B. Bryson sub mitted his annual report. It showed that the association now consisted of twenty-one ssoclatlons. One had been added the year and none was delinquent. . Total amount of funds on hand and reserved during the business year was $53.M. Disbursements. $169.60. Balance on hand, $394.13. Inspector Pierce Read Iaper, The morning session closed with the read ing of a paper on "Fire Insursnce as a Collateral Security," by John L. Tierce, Inspector of the State Insurance depart ment. At 6:30 last evening the delegates and their women friends and relatives were enter tained at dinner at th Hotel Loyal by the Omaha association .Following dinner a theater party Was given at the Boyd thea ter for such of the delegate and their wives as desire to attend at :30, and many of the delegates were the special guests of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben at the ben. and were Invested with' the dignities of knighthood. At the Theaters 'The Lightning; Conductor" nt th Boyd. The Woodward Stock company has un dertaken quite a task for the current week, but Is showing its ability to successfully attack big propositions In presenting "The Lightning Conductor." The piece Is a sparkling comedy, but one that has to be handled with' "great precision and exact Judgment In order to bring out US points. It ts full of good things, and overrunning with comedy, and gives each of the prin cipals a tine chance. The story ts that of a young American woman who with her aunt Is touring France In a motor car. Difficulties arise and their chauffeur de serts them. A young 'Englishman discovers them, and by offering himself as a cheuf- feur succeeds In rescuing the ladles. But he falls In love with the younger, and she with htm. although she doesn't know it. Their little romance Is getting Into smooth water when another Frenchman, who Is also a scalawag, undertakes to secure the girl for himself, by. having the pretended chauffeur arrested Cor the murder of the young Englishman. Matters are a little further complicated by the appearance of rich, but uncouth brewer with his daugh ter and the young, man's mother. The mother and father -have arranged, a mar riage for the young (tfilks, although neither of these have seeoach other. They en counter casually buj; the match. . falls tnrougn. inree. acts are devoted to the telling of the story,, and its course run true through a number of very Interesting situations, some verging on melodrama, but most of them of a high comedy sort. Miss Fleming Is really charming as the young American girl.' It Is a lighter part than she has yet undertaken, bilt she gives It with care and good effect. Miss Spencer Is doing her usual good work as the maiden aunt, who Is sent out to chaperone the girl, but who really needs a chaperone herself. Miss Duke as the brewer's daughter, Miss Power as the mother of the romantlo young man, and Miss Huston aa the Inn keeper' daughter are all well situated. Mr. Morrison makes a very good chauf feur, even If he does have to watch him self to keep his true character from crop- pint out Mr. Denlthorne a the French marplot Is clever, and Mr. Poult'er and, Mr. Schrode as chauffeurs, the one French and the other German, are good. Mr. Paul has a comedy part, that ot the bumptious Brlt,- lsn nrewer, wnicn gives mm run scope xor his established ability. ' A' number of others are in the long casU and all do well. Mr. Livingstone has provided sn unus ually effective setting tor the piece. The roadside scene ' that iopejis he piece, and the panoramic . effect that follows are splendid bits of Illusion, and each of the othep- scenes are wel(, staged- The comedy was wen receivea Dy two very targe audi ences yesterday, rtd .will run all week. with other matinee on. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons. Good-Bye N'lcht at Darnood.

The loyal Burwoodlte were chock full ot enthusiasm, and as each member of tho company made '(hl or lier first enf ance was greeted with t prolonged applause, which In every' Instance was continued until the recipient acknowledged the re ception by a few words. Mr. Bacon's entrance was the signal for the most en thusiastic demonstration, and hun dur ing the course of his few remarks ht assured his admirer that he would be a member of the new stock company, which he stated would open at the Burwood on August 29, the applause waa even greater than when he made his entrance. Flow.rs were much In evidence, j The play, "The Man From Mexico," was received with almost continuous laughter, and when the curtain was rung down for the last time Director Hoffman and his musicians played "Auld Lang Syne," thus bringing to a close the stock company season at the Burwood. It U understood that among this sea son's company who will be members of the new company ara Mr. Eicon, Mrs. Bacon (Jana Jeffery) Mr. Ingrain and Mr. Cllsbee.
