POISON IN SOUP AT BANQUET TO NEW ARCHBISHOP PART OF
 GIGANTIC PLOT, POLICE HOLD

out of town clues, which indicate the existence of nationwide plot. Ad- dresses found in the search of Crones' s room have been telegraphed to all parts of the country. and Federal op- erattves were busy tracing the persons who gave these addresses and their l connection.
 Crones, it is known, has lived in Philadelphia, Cleveland, St. Louis and Los Angeles. Men who knew him when he worked in the Congress hotel declared he had told them of being involved i'm a plot in St. Louis to blow up a brewery which had laid off some men; but. telegraph messages to that city brought answers stating that po- lice records failed to show such a plot | Last summer =Crones was working in Cleveland. Cards giving his address as General Delivery, Cleveland, l Ohio,'' were found among papers ap- parent1y belonging to Forte in the Apparently the cook returned to Chi cago in September, when he went to the Legue home
 He remained there in a small room with Allegrini until the latter part of December. Apparently his anarchistic principles. which a year previousIv had. prevented him from living in comparative luxury with James Le- gendre at No. 232 East Forty-second street, did not bar his moving to a $5

 AIIegfini in Labor Troubles.
 AHegrini also has done a good deal of travelling. Papers found in his room indicated he had worked in Barre, Vt, and Salida, Col. Letters from Salida and from friends who had worked with him there showed that there had been some sort of labor trouble in the Colorado town which resulted in the departure of A1Iegrini and a number of others. One letter written by a man at SaIida, asked that Anegrini find him work in Chicago if possible
 In contrast to AlIegrini,s corresnond- ence, Crones received few if any let ters. None for him came to No 2. POI Prairie avenue according to Mrs Zef- geufus, but it is probable the cook re- celved his letters from '7e General
 Delivery window at the post office as he had done in Cleveland. The travels soI the two companions and the out-of- town addresses in their possession nave aroused the particular curiosity of the Federal authorities
 We are checking up all the out-of town angles of the case" MT C1a- baugh said There are several East 'ern addresses which our men are look ing into. It looks to me like an anar-s chlst1c plot, and I think Crones had others working with him in the scheme. .''

In fact, I could never feel rested and what used to eat felt like a lump on my stomach and would get dizzy at times. Since taking Lax-a-tone all these troubles have disappeared and feel fine and wish to indorse this remedy to alI''
 Herbal Lax-a-tone is a positive remedy for sick headaches, constipa- tion, furred tongues, nervousness, bad breath and for that tired miserable feeling. A trial of this remedy will convince you

.PARENTSOFD DEAD |. GIRL WOULD HELP
 STUDENT SUSPECT

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 re- lease William H. Orpet, the University of Wisconsin student, held at Wauke- gan on a charge of murder. The they had doubt of the guilt of Orpet and they had no desire to be vim dictive toward the young man.
 Although the nature of the poison which caused the girls death has been determined by a partial analysis of the stomach, the officers are at a 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 found and has visited every drug store in Madison and in towns along the lake shore from Waukegan to Evanston. Pictures of Orpet were shown but no evidence was found that he had pur- chased poison.
 In the sixty letters which passed between the girl and Orpet-35 writ ten by him and 12 by her-the TO- nance of the two has been traced from its inception to the time of the tragedy. The missives show, the off, cers say. that alarm was felt about the girls condition as early as last September, but the crisis passed and their fears were al1ayed until recent ly. The inquest on the body of Miss Lambert, it was expected, will be re- sumed on Wednesday. At, that time, it is believed, the analysis of the or gans will have been completed.
