The Cross Questions
Brutal and Unfair

Waukegan, ILL.,, July 11.-Argument
for the defense was begun today by
Leslie P. Hannah in behalf of Will H.

der of Marion Lambert.
"The defendant" said Mr.. Hanna,
took the stand as fair witness. The
shock of his arrest and of Marion's
death had worn off. He was no longer
the frightened youth, who, without
counsel, talked erratically just after
his arrest.
at would have been folly for him
to have taken the stand unless he was
to tell the truth, and the whole truth"
when he was arrested, the whole
current of his life was changer" went
on the lawyer. "Offcers Of the law
besieged him and the papers cried
Murder, murder 1t seemed to him
as if the whole world were arrayed
against him. He simply did his best
until the advice to which he was en-
titled came to his assistance"
Mr.. Hanna referred to Attorney
Joslyn's cross-examination Of Orpet
as BRUTAL and unfair" and warned
the jurors that they were not to re-
member Mr.. Joslyn's insinuating
questions, but Orpet's replies to them.

Chicagoan Makes
Address Before the
Hotel Mems Meet

"Never hesitate to admit you are
green, for when you are green you are
growing. Until you get ripe and stop
growing there is no chance for decay
to set in," said Harry N. Tolles Of
Chicago, addressing the Northwest
ern Hotel Mems association on the
subject, Keeping Step with the
Times"
The principal qualifications for
keeping step with the times he classi-
fed as cooperation, organization and
the instruction of employees by en-
ployers. Cooperation, according to
Mr.. Tolles, includes work with other
business men in commercial bodies,
working with men in the same lines
of trade in conventions and associa-
tons, and cooperation. OF the EN-
ployer land the employe for mutual
benefit.
Irwin w. Pope Of Omaha, represent
ing the United Commercial Travellers,
read a paper embodying the wishes
of the travelling men in regard to ho-
tel treatment. His criticism was large
ly directed against the small hotel in
towns of less than 5000 population.
He said that, although there are laws
requiring decent conditions in these
hotels, and an inspector who is sup
posed to enforce them and inspect the
hotels, the conditions have not been
remedied because the inspector stays
in the large and better hotels where
he can be comfortable and allows the
small hotels to run themselves.
John +. Letton concluded the MORN
ing session with short resume OF the
vocational instruction he is giving to
the employees OF the Hotel Fontenelle.
