another girl.
The girl took poison, said Orpet.
though he did not explain to Lake

him, just how the suicide occurred.
Orpet, who had contended until
early this morning that he had not
left Madison for a week. finally
broke down and told his story after
three hours of grilling. He was not
placed under arrest.
The student met Marian in the
woods, Wednesday morning. he said.
after 'phoning her from Madison to
arrange the appointment. He told
her, he said. that their engagement
must be broken. as he was in love
with Miss Celestia Youker. chemi-
cal instructor In Normal college at
Dekalb, Ill.
Miss Lambert begged him not to
leave her, he said, but he left her
weeping in the woods where her
body was found, caught train for
Madison and did not learn OF Ma
rian's death until he read it in the
newspapers.
Orpet was to return to Waukegan
today to repeat his story at the cor.

Senator Smith Bitterly
Assails Wilson In
Highland Park
CONGRESSMEN
ALSO TAKE HAND
Republican Club Ban.
quet Marks Opening
Of Campaign Here

President Wilson was attacked
and made the target OF condemna-
tion and ridicule at the banquet of
the Highland Park Republican club.
Friday night, in the Highland Park
high school.
Two United States senator's, one
OF them candidate for president.
and two United States congressman
branded President Wilson a failure
as citizen. patriot. diplomat and
as a chief executive. and they did
not mince words.
II was the opening gun OF the
national Republican campaign In
Wayne county, and 1t was marked
by an attendance OF nearly 500, In
Guiding all the political luminaries
OF Wayne county.
United States Senators william
Alden Smith and Charles E. Town.
send. ID Congressman Patrick II.
Kelley, OF Michigan. and Congress
man Richard w. Austin. OF Tennes-
see, were the speakers. BY virtue
OF his candidacy for the Republican
nomination as president. Smith was
the main speaker of the evening.
Senator Smiths name, when
coupled with the presidency, was
cheered. while that OF Theodore
Roosevelt was alternately received
with cheers and silence.
This dreamer In The White
House" was one way In which the
speakers referred to the president.
This gentleman in the White
House whc Is conducting an inter
national correspondence school," was
another expression.
Frequent charges OF incompe-
tency, recklessness In speech. and
lack Of diplomacy were hurled at
the head Of President Wilson.
The attack made by all four speak
ers upon the military program or
President Wilson was loudly cheer
ed. That the name OF American pa
iriotism and honor had been drag
gcd down In disgrace by a policy OF
evasion was the expression of all
the speakers.
As member OF the foreign rela-
lions committee. Senator Smith
launched into an immediate attack
upon the foreign policy OF President
Wilson. making some startling new
statements concerning political con-
o'iions in Nicaragua.
United States soldiers have been
sleeping for two years in the white
house at the capitol of Nicaragua
you didn't know that. did you?"
shouted Senator Smith. well, they
have been, and the administration
at Washington during all that time
has been backing the ofYicials OF
Nicaragua, who have been surrepti-
tiously taking money from the trea-
sury OF that country.
And why have they been doing
it? So the Democratic administra-
tion could secure a new canal route
across that country in violation OF
treaties with Costa Rica and others
why does the Democratic admin.
istration want another canal routey ?
We have already completed one ca
nal route at a cost OF $500, 900. 900,
and after Republican president
had built the canal. then the Demo
cratic administration hauled down
the dag there by allowing Great
Britain to dictate how the canal
should be run.
'It looks to me as though the
Democratic administration wanted
TO build real canal that the Amer
leans could run, because they were
ashamed in allowing Great Britain
TO dictate about the Panama canal.
