PARENTS OF DEAD GIRL
ASK STUDENTS RELEASE
LambertS Doubt Young Or
pets Guilt and Do Not
Wish to Prosecute
tRy Associated Press. }

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE parents of
Marian Lambert, the Lake Forest High
school girl found dead in the woods
near the suburb last Thursday, have
appealed to States Attorney Ralph
Dady, of Lake county. to release Will
liam H. Orpet, the University of Wis
consin student held at Waukegan on a
charge of murder. The Lamberts told
the guilt of young Orpet and they had
no desire to be vindictive toward the
young man.
States Attorney Dady was willing to
admit today that unless he can prove
that Orpet gave his former sweetheart
poison he cannot convict the student Of
murder. Although the nature of the
poison, which caused the girls death
has been determined by an incomplete
ANALYSIS of the stomach the officers are
at loss to account for the container.
Sheriff Griffin, of Lake county. said
his men had searched every section of
the woods where the body was fouSd
and had visited every drug store In
Madison and in towns along the lake
shore from waukegan to Evantson. Pic
lures of Orpet were shown, but no evil
dence was found that he had purchased
poison.
Tn the sixty letters which passed be-
tween the girl and Orpet-thirty-five
written by. him and twenty-five by
her-the romance of the two has been
traced from its inception to the time
of the tragedy. The missives show,
the officers say, that alarm was felt
about the girls condition as early as
last September
The inquest on the body Of Miss Lam
bert. it is expected. will be resumed
Wednesday By that time. it is be-
lieved the analysis of the organs will
have been completed.

EXPECT EARLY ARREST
FOR BANQUET POISONING
Chicago Police Suspect Jean
Craes, Assistant Chef at
University Club
CBy Associated Press. }

CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-First Deputy
Superintendent of Police Herman
Schuettler said today. that he expected
the arrest within a short time Of Jean
Crones, assistant chef at the Univer-
sity Club, who is suspected of putting
poison in the soup served at a dinner
given on Thursday night to Archbishop
George Mundelein.
Schuettler and a force of 100 mounted
officers. detectives and uniformed po-
licemen were at a reception given last
night to the archbishop at the Audi
tOrium theater.
Empty poison bottles and wrappers
found in the kitchen Of the University
club. verified by a cumulative analysis
OF the soup served at the banquet, in
dictate that the alleged poisoner made
scientific calculations to kill every
guest at the banquet. The club Of
ficials said II was understood covers
were to be laid for 200 guests, but at
the last moment invitations were is
sued for 100 more. Two hundred and
ninety-six i'm all were present. That
thinned down the poison dose to about
three-fifths of the minimum fatal dose.
To this the officers attribute escape
from serious illness of those taken sick.

Wilson AHotos
Use ofName on
Primary Ballot
Would Not Enter Contest for
Nomination, but. Is Willing
for Democrats to Express
Preference in Primary
INV Associated Press. F.,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-President
Wilson today formally gave his consent
that his name be used as candidate for
denomination.
In a letter to the secretary of state
of Ohio the president stated that he was
unwilling to enter a contest, for the
nomination but was readyNto permit the
use of his name in the coming primary
in order that the Democrats of Ohio
might make known their preference
The president made known his posi-
ton in order to comply with the Ohio
primary law which requires candidates
for delegates to the party conventions
to make known their first and second
choices before February 25 md also re-
auires that the candidates for delegates
have the consent of their choices to
make use of their names.
The president was formally notified
of the requirements of the law last
week and today he wrote Charles @. Hill
debrant, secretary of state of Ohio, as
follows:
II am enclosing to you letter the
occasion of which 1 dare say will be
quite obvious. Friends in Ohio have
the general code of Ohio as amended
in 1914 with regard to primary cleo
items and have requested that L indicate
my willingness to have my name used.
"I accordingly take the liberty Of
sending you the enclosed letter as for
NAL permission under the statute"
The letter the president enclosed was
as follows:
while l am entirely unwilling to en-
ter into any contest for the presidential
nomination of the Democratic party, I
am willing to permit the use of my
rame that the Democrats in Ohio may
make known their preference in regard
TO that nomination.
ain order therefore, to satisfy the
technical requirements of the statutes
Of the state Of Ohio, l hereby consent
10 the use OF my name as a candidate
for the presidency by any candidate who
seeks to be elected delegate to the
national Democratic convention which
is to assemble in June next"
This was the first time the president
has consented formally to have his name
used in connection with the nomination.
His name has been placed on primary
ballots in several states, however,
through the activities of friends.
The president takes the position that
the voters will have to determine
whether he will make the race for the
presidency in 1916 as the Democratic
candidate. In a letter written to A.
Mitchell Palmer before his Inauguration.
Mr.. Wilson made 1t plain that he WOULD
only be candidate again if the Demo-
cratic voters desired 1T.
Political advisers and friends of the
president have taken it for granted for
months that he would be the nominee
of his party and have made their plans
The national Democratic
committee has prepared all the cam
paign material with the idea that he
would be the party candidate.
The formal announcement today is ex
pected by Democratic leaders to clarity
the political situation throughout the
country. Supporters of the president,
they said today, now would be able to
work for I'm more openly. i

HOUSTON MAY Be PICKED
FOR SECRETARY OF WAR
President Is Expected to Give
Vacant Post TO AgriCuI-
ture Secretary
By RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 14.-David
Franklin Houston will, it is believed in
cabinet circles, be named by President
Wilson as secretary of war to succeed
to the vacancy caused by the resigna-
tion of Lindley NJ. Garrison. Houston
is now secretary of agriculture. Hous-
ton is we'll known and liked in Atlanta,
where he visited as a member of the
federal reserve organization committee.
1t was learned this morning upon the
presidents return from a cruise down
the Potomac, that he has Mr. Houston
under consideration for the war port
folio, and persons cognizant of the high
esteem in which Mr.. Wilson holds his
agricultural secretary, expects he will
be given the office vacated by Garrison.
1t is not known who the president
will select to succeed Houston in the
agricultural department. in the event
h. is made war secretary.
The president had engagements today
to see congressional delegations with
candidates for secretary of war and
others who were to suggest men for the
assistant secretaryship. 1t is generally
expected. however. that the new secre-
tary will name his own assistant
Those in position to know think the
president will not name an army man
for the cabinet vacancy. That would
eliminate Major General Goethals, who
has been recommended for the place.
Mr. Wilson said he expected to reach
a decision in the near future.
Representative Abercrombie. of Ala
bama, suggested Bib Graves, former
adjutant general of Alabama for as
sistant secretary of war to succeed Hem
ry Breckenridge.
The president also had appointments
today with other congressional delega-
tions who want him to visit their dis
tricts on his next preparedness tour. 1t
is not expected, however. that the presi-
dent will hagin his nrnnoseh trim soon-

|LOJU IS NEW NAME
| FOR 1876 SENATORS
Salem Inter City League Team
Will Advertise Famous
Drink On Circuit

Since the extravagent ECONOMY "
session of the 1915 legislature the Sa-
lem Senators have been casting about
for another name as they believe any
thing that would connect them with
the lawmakers would prove a handi-
cap. They tried various cOgnomens,
such as "Dingbats'' "Solons'', "Cher-
rybuds' and other names but they
have hit ON the name "LOjus' and
will bear this insignia across their
chests wnen they appear against the
st. Helens team Sunday. AS the main
argument in favor of adopting the
name Loju, F. G. Deckabach agreed
to pay for the new suits which were
purchased from Gresham and to have
L-O-J-U in huge red letters sewed on
the uniform shirts. Any argument
that is backed by real cash appeals to
the Salem baseball team this season
and the team promises to lead tne name
to fame and glory.
The lineup for next Sundays game
against st. Helens will be slightly
changed according to Captain Humph-
ries who proposes to work Mike Miller,
the last year short stop, at the short
position again this year and shift
Adams to the outfiels. where some
heavy hitters are needed The out
field will be made up of Nickel, Ad-
ans, at center and either Kaszmark or
Bell in right field.
Miller was woefully weak with the
bat last year but is said to be hitting
better this year and if his stick work
is up to the standard will have no
trouble in holding down a regular job
ds he is a fast fielder and has a good
throwing arm.
