alleged confesrlon- of New Tork man
named Trueloh, who "wrote to rroseCutor
Bmlth that W had bMn an accompilce of
Mrs. Oulnnees lmverar-'of her murder,
the details ot the aeoueJ tn that confession
will become known, "The sheriff Ms not
bringing Truelson back with him for the
reason that It le claimed the confeeelon doe
not hold good, haring been made ty1 the
prisoner la order to escape a forgery charge
in Texas.
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

cannot Speak the language, and that early

In the way of making considerable money
by helping to dispose of bodies of persons
who died under her care.
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

More than seven months after the crime

It was October 13. when a man entered
the store of .'. Chrlstof ferson, 1622 South
Tenth street, to buy some fish. While the

The detective found the book containing
the name William Smith.
There are twsnty-slx William Smiths In

of these officers for the ensuing year:

The next annual meeting will be held in

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:

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 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

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

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

wives as desire to attend at :30, and many

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

Good-Bye N'lcht at Darnood.
Last evening was , ','goodbye" night at
the Burwood, the performance being the
closing one of the stock company which
has occupied the Burwood since February
16 last. An Immense Crowd was prcsont.
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

REVISED LUMBER RATE GOES
Compromise Tariff on Shipments front
Hon III - In Knet from
Now On.
Mondsy the new rate on southern lumber
Into Nebrsska went Into effect, no formal
protest hsvlng been filed. Onsha formerly
had less rate on this southern lumber
than Lincoln and tr s Lincoln Commercl.il
club filed a protest with the lnffrstate
Commerce commission, claiming that Un
coln was entitled to a less rate from the
south thsn Omaha because some ot the
lumber had to pasd through Lincoln to gvt
to Omaha.
The Interstate Commerce commission, af
ter a hearing on the case, ordered that the
rates be adjusted so thst Lincoln would
hot have a higher rate than Omaha. The
railroads obeyed the order, but they
equalised the rates by raising on both
cities. The rat from the Texas group of
states and corresponding groups was raised
I cent to Lincoln snd 2 cents to Omaha.
Many complaints were made over the
method used by the rstlroads In adjusting
the rates and nlthough the lumbermen held
several meetings, no formal complaint
were lodged with th commission, although
It was stated that th southern lumbermen
were to do so.
