WATCHING FOR BANDITS
Believe Hunger Will Drive Menacing
Marauders Across Border.

Boquillas, Texas, July 15.-(Via
Army Field Telephone to Marathon,
Texas -Re-a1ignment of troops for
dit raids in the Big Bend country
began today with the arrival here
from Marathon of one company OF
the Third battalion, Pennsylvania Ma
tional GIard and the dispatch from
here of a troop of the Sixth cavalry
to reinforce B troop at Glenn Springs
The remainder of the Pennsylvania
battalion at Marathon will be trans
ported to border points as rapidly as
possible.
Troops also are being rushed from
Alpine and Maria to the border as
result of repeated warnings that BAN
dts are advancing to the Rio Grande
to raid this exposed part of Texas.
Close Boquillas Mine.
Patrols from Glenn Springs have
been covering from so to 80 miles
daily in attempts to discover bandit
movements. Ranchers report that
Mexicans in the district across the
river are near starvation and say they
will be forced soon to raid the Ameri-
can side to get supplies.
Nothing has been learned of the
band which raided a mine 100 miles
south of Boquillas several days ago
and later reported moving north.
j. w. Judson left here today after
closing down the Boquillas mine. Fear
that the company's motor trucks
would be held up, was given as the
reason. Five or six hundred Carranza
soldiers are reported, to be eneamped
across the river
Estimates of the number of ban
dts reported moving north toward the
Big Bend vary from 4 few hundred
to over thousand.

FRAME The QUESTIONS
They VIII Be Submitted TO United
States-Mexico Peace Commission.

Washington, July 15.-Solution of
difficulties between the United States
and Mexico appeared today to trend
more and more towards settlement
through an international joint COM
mission. Informal conferences be-
tween Acting Secretary of State Polk
and Elizo Arredondo, Mexican ambas-
sador designate, it was indicated, were
developing questions for probable sub
mission to such a body.
General Carranza is said to approve
the commission plan of settling diff
ferences as provided in the treaty of
1848, and state department officials
are believed to be willing to let nego-
tiations take this course, though pre-
ferring that adjustment be made
through the present conferences.
President Wilson, it is understood. is
not dissatisfied with the direction
negotiations are taking.

BY OWN ORATORY
Orpet Prosecutor SO Overcome
He Couldn't Talk.
JOslyn's ElOquence Has Strong
Effect on Jury.
A VERDICT BY SHUTDOWN?
Little Time Wasted in Giving
Final Instructions.
Jury Expected to Reach Agree
ment without Delay.
| VERDICT BY SHUTDOWN?

Waukegan, ILL.,, July 15.-WHl Or
pets fate may be known to him by
shutdown today.
Attorney David R. Joslyn, special
pleader for the state, who was unable
to finish his closing plea Friday night
because he was so powerfully af-
fected by his own somber eloquence,
promised the court faithfully today
that he would close within two hours.
Those who are acquainted with the
temper of this Lake county jury are
not hesitant in prophesying that they
will return a verdict within three or
four hours.
The instructions to the jury are ex-
pected to be brief Of,the hundred or
more detailed instructions furnished
by the state and the defense, Judge
Charles E. Donnelly is said to have Sc
lected only a few. Little time will be
wasted in this formality.
Joslyn is closing the states case
with telling argument. He has al
ready painted Orpet as cold and cal
culatins murderer of the most fiend-
Ish type. 1t was not this part of his
plea, however, that had the tremen-
dous effect.
Winning Jurors.
It vas when he began to read the
last chapter of gay little Marion Lam
bert's life that he began to win the
Jurors to him one by one. He de-
scribed how she had planned to go
meet her friends again; how she had
started off for school expecting to
meet her father at the SOS car on
the night of the day when she died.
But it was when he began to read the
letter to Minnie Rumsey, her Sunday
school teacher, written the night be-
fore her death, that his story of a
girl who could not have planned to
take her own life, became strikin giy
convincing.
He rcad -ba letter in a low rnelodi-
Gus voice, pausing here and there to
emphasize some peculiarly significant
phrase. 1t was ir this letter that
Marion seemed to be looking forward
brightly to a future that would radi-
antIy contrast with the dark last year
of her life. Phrase by phrase the
letter was poured into the hearts of
the jurymen.
Marion was shown the night before
her death writing that letter in her
own hOme-with her father and
mother and Josephine Davis, her
dearest friend about her, with the
telephone conversation with Will Or
pet, who had arrived in Lake Forest
L few hours before. still in her mind.
Her Goodnight Kiss
could the girl who wrote that
CHEEKY little letter have been conceal
ing the CHASTITY intention of self de-
struction in her mind?" asked Joslyn.
He told the story of Marion's good
night kiss-how she went to her faith
ers room before she retired and kissed
him she had always done since
childhood. He told of her washing
the dishes for her mother and asked
the Jurors if they thought it humanity
possible that her thoughts were of
death as she went about this homely
task.
IAN of Marion's last hours spoke of
life" he cried, not death-but life.

Penn CrewS ShoW
Speed on Water
Coach Wright Sends Oarsmen
Through Daily Workout Over
Icy Course.

PHILADELPHIA, March with the
temperature at 22 degrees above zero
and with the surface of the water COW
cred with an icy mush two inches deep,
the Penn crews yesterday did their daily
stunt on the water. Failing snow and
the chilly blasts which swept across
the Schuylklll did not deter Coach
Wright from ordering the launching Of
the shells.
The junior boat was the first to lead
the way, closely followed by the varsity
and the freshmen crews. The varsity
understudies paved the way. or rather
broke the way, for the boats which fol-
lowed. CoXswain Foster had to be con-
tinually on the outlook for any OF the
floating pieces of Ice which were COM
ing down the river. When the Fights
had reached the island, which lies
above the Columbia bridge, the order
was given to turn about and proceed
down the river. So cold was the at
mosphere, that It did not require much
| persuasion on the part of the coXswains
| to get the work out of teh oarsmen. and
| they went at 1t with vim and dash
which was very pleasing to Wright.
| Although the launch was In running
condition yesterday, Wright, neverthe-
less, did his coaching from the bank.
THAT varsity eight certainly looks
good TO me-" Wright said. after the
/ crews had swept past the lighthouse
] at the bend above the slip. All OF the
! men finished up with n cold uhower,
feeling none the worse for their row.
