WILL
 CUT DOWN SUPPORT
Aggrieved Members of People's Church to Donate But Five Gents
 Weekly-Meeting This Week.

Dissatisfied with the result of the annual meeting last Thursday night when Rev. M. s. Anderson was re- elected pastor of the Peoples church of Christ by an overwhelming ma jority, the insurgents those oppos- ing the pastor and insisting on his resignation, have taken thelr nrst post-election step. Although they ap- preciate the fact that to withdraw their entire financial support would be unchristian-like and would leave them. open to severe censure, they have agreed among themselves that they will limit their financial dona tions.
 Those numbered among the opposi- tion stated today that they have de- cided they will continue to contribute towards the support of he church but will limit their weekly contributions which they will drop into the collec- ton plates on Sunday to five ceEfs each. The rest of their Weely offer ing thev will donate to missionary funds.
 Not conceding defeat, or even ad- hitting it's possibility, the insurgents have made tentative plans for hoidln&s @ mass meeting of all their aggr1eVed brethren some evening this week At this time the situation will be thoroughly discussed. It is expected that upwards of half hundred dis satisfied ones will be present. The insurgents are still trying to find out how it was they met defeat last Thursday They state that over sixty members signed the petition in oppo- sitiC/ to Pastor Anderson. but that of this number only about thirty voted against him. They think it possible that some of the singers were dis barred from voting.

 POISON NOW SOUGHT

 w. H. Orpet.

Chicago. Feb. 15.-Search for the bottle in which was carried the noison that caused the death of Marian Francis Lambert, Lake Forest Hlgh school girl, was announced today oy sta bIish a. connection between the establish a connection between the girls death last Wednesday and the mysterious absence from Madison at that time of William H. Orpet, Unl- versity of Wisconsin student. The as- sertion by the police that a, drug clerk in Madison had admitted he sold Orpet an empty bottle and the hndlng of poison crystals in an ash heap Tn the cellar of the Orpet home, are the principal developments of the past forty-eight hours in the Lake Forest mystery.
 A gardener on the Mccormick estate, of which Orpet's father IS caretaker, is said to have admitted putting the poison in the ash heap. This was explained by the elder Orpet by the statement that the poison had been used to kill insects on shrubbery but that it's inferior quality had rendered it useless. States Attorney Dady of Lake county, said today he regarded the UIScOVerY or the pOlSoH dud Iiie ClSi h who sold the bottle as the last link in the chain of circumstantial evil Gence by which he expects to convict Orpet, and said he was ready to pre- sent his evidence to the coroner's jury. Orpet continues to reiterate his innocence.
 The parents of the girl disclaimed yesterday any desire to release Orpet from custody and urged that the law be permitted to take it's course.
 Madison, Wis, Feb. 15.-William r. Orpet, the university student who is held for the murder of Marian Lambert at Lake Forest, ILL, bought an ounce of a certain drug from Chares w.. Hassinger, a student and drug clerk in a local pharmacy, it was learned yesterday. The purchase was made last August it is alleged, through William Zick, his former roommate.
