Allen Lines Up

ST. LOUIS, June 12.--Henry
Allen, chief moderator Of the pro-
gressive convention, declared
him self for Hughes today, and
said he expected the progressives
of the northern and central states
would follow suit.
The hour is too important to
worry about the party a man be-
longs to-" he said. IF Roosevelt
accepts Hughes splendid state
ment as meeting the progressive
demands, the progressives will
support Hughes.
IL is believed Roosevelt will
take an active part in the Hughes
campaign.
Allen said the proper thing for
the progressives to do is to nomi-
nate Hughes as their presidential
candidate and Parker as vice
president.
This will keep the party alive
and give the progressives, who do
not want to return TO the repub-
lican ranks or affiliate with the
democrats a place TO light.
Other progressive leaders be-
lieve Victor Murdoch will be
nominated in case Roosevelt final
ly declines.

THIS MAN SHOULD
BE GOOD CITIZEN.
AYTACOMA ELKS

True to the instincts and ira
ditions of his race, William j.
Langdon, Englishman, cracked a
joke in the superior court today
and didn't know il.
Langdon, the first of 26 appli-
cants for citizens papers, had
just completed splendid exam
ination on government at the
hands of Examiner George Tyler.
Judge yesterday, as is his GUS
tom, questioned the applicant on
certain phases OF his life which
appeared doubtful to the court.
After thoroughly convincing HIM
self that Langdon was not an an
archist or a polygamist he began
juizzing concerning his loyalty.
In case the U. S. should go to
war with England, who would
you fight for?" the court en-
quired.
1.-THE United States" Langdon
answered.

Firemen's Park
Keeps Its N anne

Another attempt on the part of
Civil war veterans and relief
corps to change the name of Fire
mans park, on A street, to "Faw-
cett park" in honor of Mayor
Fawcett, failed today.
A large delegation of men and
women from the G. A. II. and aux
Hilary posts appeared before the
park board.
This board is not trying to be
arbitrary, and is not debating
what shall be done with the
parks" said w. N. Allen, presi-
dent of the board.
But there seems to be some
opposition to the proposed change
of name. We want to wait and
learn what the sentiments Of the
people are. Mr.. Fawcett has done
much for Tacoma, but We don't
know how the public would feel
about this change of name. 20
IF Mr.. Fawcett would donate a
piece of land to the city," added
Allen, I'VE would gladly establish
a park and name 1t after him"
In reply to question, Allen
told the petitioners that no OBJ
lection to the proposed oiange of
name OF the park had been filed
with the board. F-

U. 8. MAY PROTEST

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June IL.
Conditions in Mexico have be-
come so serious In the last few
days that the administration is
considering formally calling Car
ranza's attention to the situation,
the state department said today.
Secretary Lansing, explaining
the consular reports, said the ma
tives of northern Mexico were
showing increased excitement and
unrest. Carranzista officials are
showing a noticeable indifference
to the situation.
Wilson's answer to Carranza's
note demanding the withdrawal of
troops or an explanation of rea-
sons for their continued presence
will be sent this week.
The note will politely but
fatty refuse the withdrawal or
even Encouragement of American
troops. 1t was practically COM
pleted today and is very long.
Among the reasons cited for re-
fusing to withdraw, the president
will emphasize the fact the MUIR
ders of the Americans at Santa
ISABEL are unpublished and un-
captured.
He will also recite the recent
raids on American soil. Empha-
sis will be laid on consular re-
ports that conditions in the north
ern part of Mexica are such that
troops are necessary to preserve
peace.
II was indicated the note won't
be for campaign purposes. II will
leave no doubt In Carranza's mind
that America won't brook the pos
sibility Of future troubles of en-
JAM lring lives or embarrassing
thu government.

hard to figure out why everybody
laughed.

and Orpet is established, it is
argued, a reason for self-de-
struction by the Tilted sweetheart
would be established.
Like Marian Lambert, Celeste
Youker had been a school friend
OF Orpet's; their families are old
friends.
During the last Christmas hol-
days she was a guest at the Or
pet home in Lake Forest.
Happy in the sunshine of her
first love, she knew nothing of
the shadow said to have hung
upon Marian Lambert, living
close by, and, according to states
attorney, going through the
agony of fear and hame as a. re-
suit of trysts with Orpet.
What Celeste will testify, II
she is able to come to Wauke-
gan, is puzzling the state as
well as the defense. Orpet seems
confident, however.

Death Now May Claim
Orpet's Star of Hope

WAUKEGAN, ILL.,, June 12.-
The tentacles of the Marian
Lambert tragedy have reached
out and dragged another lovely
and cOnfiding girl into the shad-
Ow Of death!
While viii Orpet, Wisconsin
university student, fights for his
life before a jury on the charge
of numbering Marian, Celeste
Youker, the girls he claims as
his fiancee, fights for her own
life on a sickbed in her mothers
home.
The youth whose love affairs
ended in tragedy that made the
whole nation shudder anxiously
watches for news from the YOU
ker home In River Forest, Ill.
Celeste lies dangerously i'll as
the result of the shock she re-
ceived when she learned of Or
pets arrest.
Orpet regards Celeste as his
star OF hope. Her story of her
chaste love for him he hopes will
win verdict of not guilty"
But Celeste may never
take the witness stand.
Since the day she learned OF
Orpet's arrest she has never
left her mothers home and
those who know her as n
charming young teacher at
the DeKalb Normal school
have seen nothing Of her.
Should Celeste's illness end
fatally Orpet's case will be dam
aged seriously.
Though the girl has been
called to testify for the state,
Orpet believes, 1t is said, that her
evidence may prove that Marian
Lambert had a motive for sui
eide.
