Expected Daily
CZERNOWITZ REPORTED
CAPTURED BY RUSSIANS
Seven Fierce Charges Made
by Germans Up Slopes Of
Dead Mans Hill

London, June 1G.-With Czernowitz
semi-officially reported captured the
Russian offensive is now driving west
ward toward Stanislau in an effort to
completely cut the Austrians defenses
between Lemberg and all of the south
ern points Of the line.
If the Russians are successful, the
Austrian army will either to have to
hold its ground or retreat through the
Carpathians and down to the plains of
Hungary For the Russians to reach
and occupy the rich farming country
of the plains would be serious blow
to the central powers, now practically
dependent on the coming harvest for
enough food to enable them to continue
the war.
Reports from Berlin, Petrograd and
Vienna all make patent that the Aus.
trians in an effort to prevent the
complete cut have stiffened their de.
fense.
The Russians continued to advance in
the indentation they have made in the
line at Lutsk.

the west front are continually reinTore.
ino their lines there, dispatches from
Holland agree. From Knocke in the
Belgian territory occupied by the Ger

toward the front in a never ending
procession. These are covered with
green boughs to prevent the allied air.
men from seeing them readily.
On the streets here, in the clubs, in
the restaurants and on the trains per.
sons discuss with marked interest the
cryptic sentence in the French semi
official report on Wednesday which
reads:
tThe Germans in front of Verdun
are maintaining an attitude Of expec-
tation in view of the menace of events
which they feel sure are becoming more
and more imminent.
To most. it means that the drive is
soon to start at the strategic moment
when the increasing momentum of the
Russian drive will leave> the German
commanders with no choice but to have
their line smashed somewhere either in
France or Russia.

Experts Insist Cyanide That
Caused Death Was Taken
In Liquid Form
SPOTS MADE BY CYANIDE
ARE KEPT BEFORE JURY
Fate Of Orpet May Depend
On Whether Poison Was
Liquid or Powder

Courtroom, Waukegan ILL.,, June 1G.
in the tangled story of Marion Lam
bert t's death today along with the
''Three 0aks' the "eternal Triangle,
the "alibi letters" and the "tryst of
death 'as the crucial points in the
case on which hinges the fate Of Will
0rpet, charged with MariOn's hnnIf7
der.
The spOts--tiny circular marks on
Marion Lambert's coat, made by cyan
ide of potassium--were brought before
the jury constantly today.
DR., Ralph j. Webster, chemist who
brought the spots in the hmehght by
his testimony was cross examined by
the defense today.
He was forced to an admission that
the coat was not brought to him until
May s, months after Marion's death.
The defense sought to infer that any
thing might have happened to Marion's
coat in the meantime,
For a minute in his cross Examination
today, DR.. Webster raised the hopes. of
the prosecution. Then he shattered
them.
A handkerchief, taken from 0rpet's
room at Madison. Wis, was introduced
in evidence.
~ found cyanide in this handkerchief
when analyzed II, /" he said.
The crowded court room waited ex-
peetantly.
"But," he added, "that indicates
nothing. The cyanide was minute
quantity and came from orpet's nos
trils or lungs. We all have cyanide
in our bodies.
Webster said no cyanide was found
in other articles of clothing taken from
IOrpet's room.
The defense sought vainly to force
Dr. Webster into an admission that he
was not certain the cyanide that kill
ed Marion was in liquid FROM. The
chemist said everything indicated it
was a. liquid.
Williamh d. McNally, chemist in the
Cook county corOner's office, eorrobOr-
ated DR.. Webster in nearly every detail.
He aided in the analysis Of Marion's
yiscera and of her clothing. Tho cyan
ide was in a liquid form, he said.
Frederick Wembam, an undertaken,
admitted on the stand that when Ma
rion s body was brought to his moTgue
it was frozen and that he placed hero
sene stoves beneath it to thRw II out.
The coat that bore the cyanide spots
was thrown. over the body at the time,
Wembam admitted. The defense sought
to show that this thawiug out process
might account in some way for the
lsDots even If the eyanide was original
ly in a powder form.
The state called Wembam for redirect
examination.
"When Mr.. Dady examined the coat
in your mOrgue, did he put anything
on iti" Wembam was asked.
"No."

St. Louis, No., June 16.-Unmeasured
denunciation of the hyphenated Amer
lean and a lauding of democracy is
achievements during the past three
years promise OF additional labor legis-
lation, fervid endorsement Of Amer
icanism and preparedness-these were
the principal planks in the platform
submitted to the democratic national
convention today by a resolutions com
mittee that wound up continuous 22
hour session full Of fight and pepper.
Woman suffrage, one Of the princi-
pal bones of contention, was held to be
state issue and not one for decision
by q constitutional amendment. 1t
was a lengthy document. Twenty-Five
"pianks" constituted it and democ.

The platform held "revolting" the
thought of Intervention in Mexico.
The fight on the platform started at
10 O'Clock Thursday night. Three
changes were made in the draft as sub
mitted by the president. They were
on the Mexican, suffrage and tariff

declarations as to suffrage and Mex

finally drawn.
The fight on suffrage lasted five OF
six hours. 1t was between the western
aud southern states. Judge King, OF
Oregon, Judge Baker, Of California, and
Senator Pittman led the fight for q
! thorough. going endorsement
Governor Ferguson and Governor
Stanley, Of Kentucky, led the fight
against it. The opposition was large

leaders of the woman's party and the
Congressional Union.

Jack Frost has been dealing with US
very leniently this season. In spite of
the fact that we have had scarcely any
summer, thus far, we have not had any
frost to speak of and vegetation of all
kinds is practically out of danger now.
Owing to the fact that the grain in
this section has been ripening so un-
even this season the derth of harvest
workers has not been so much felt as
was expected. Even now, there is still
lot of the crop which will not be ready
for the reaper for ten days.
Both of the schools in the village
began Monday. The children went to
their several rooms at the usual time,
but remained only part of the forenoon
just long enough to allow the several
teachers get lineup on what was need
ed to begin the school year as nearly
as possible with full equipment. The
enrolment is somewhat light, as is Gus
tomary at this time of the year when
farmers are busy, but a larger enroll
ment than heretofore is expected in both
schools as soon as the season advances.
