Is Protecting Americans
A definite statement has been re-
ceived that General Carranza is doing
all in his power at this time to protect
Americans in Mexico from attack by
the populace. He is said to have
given Special Agent Rodgers in Mex
leo City all the aid at his command
in arranging for trains to carry Amer
lear refugees from the interior to
Vera Cruz. In some quarters here this
was construed as evidence that he is
not bent upon provoking hostilities.
The State Department had no adj
vices bearing out these hopeful indi-
cations except that from Special Agent
Rodgers and announcing the progress
of his efforts to get American citizens
out. With the full consent of the
Carranza authorities, he said, and the
promise of adequate protection from

Object to Reading Orpet
Letters at Murder Trial
BY .4Stociatcd Press

Waukegan, ILL.,. June 81. - Judge
Donnelly was still unprepared when
court opened to-day to rule on the
competence or incompetence as evil
dence of the earlier letters of Will H.
Orpet to Marion Lambert, for whose
alleged murder the young man is on
trial.
The defense objected to the admis-
sion of the earlier letters as having no
bearing on Marion's death. Judge
Donnelly said that the letters were so
prejudicial to Orpet. as plainly indi-
eating seduction, that it would be dan
gerous to submit them to the jury.
II have read the letters said the
court, "and they affected me. The
effect on the jury may be imagined.
They might not draw the distinction
that they are trying the defendant for
murder. and murder alone"
States Attorney Dady argued for
their admission on the ground that an
illicit love affair eliminating in mur-
der could be shown only by reading
