Verona, Now an Orphan,
Still Ignorant That Sliv-
ers Was Suicide.
WAS JUST LEARNING
TO KNOW HIM WELL
Golden-Haired Girl. Who Danced
Gayly. Now Broods Over
Untold Mystery.

A golden-haired, grsy-eyed little girl
OF twelve was the hit OF an amateur
theatrical performance at Garden City
Monday evening. Dressed in a quaint
little gown of the fashion OF the SOS,
she sang and danced with joy. From
her mother she had inherited her love
Of dancing, and from her father
Slivers, the clown, came the blessing
OF q sense Of the comic.
Wednesday morning she was told her
father was sick; all day she fingered
near the telephone for news. She re-
mem bered that day three years before
when Just such a message had brought
her TO q hospital, where her mother lay
dying, and She puzzled over what her
fathers illness might be. Lately, al
though she did not see him often, the
tall, serious-faced man had seemed
closer 20 her.
u wonder if he will die she said 20
her companion. "He wasn't well the
last time he came 10 see me. What is
the matter with him ?"
That evening Verona Oakley was tol 9
she was fatherless. The shock. 81
though she had been prepared for II,
was tremendous. Her father gone
the father who had given her beau
tiful locket the last time they met
She could not realize II. The happi-
ness Of Monday evening seemed years
behind her
Mrs. Josie Demott Robinson, of West
Hampstead, Long Island, with whom
the child lives, has carefully kept from
her all details Of her fathers end, but
she seems to sense something unusual
Her questions are unceasing, for from
her father she inherits stubborn per
sistence that refuses 10 be downed.
To-day Verona will come 10 New
York 10 attend the funeral services OF
the man the world hailed rs its own
funmaker, but who 70 her was simply
father" Tomorrow she will follow
his body TO the cemetery, where u VIII
rest beside her mothers.

NEW WORKERS READ BOOKS
to Obtain instruction, Accord
ing to Library Statistics.

With cabnrris. dancing, thcatcrs
and all kinds of ulnu>cmcnts to lure
New Workers. no one would ever give
this city credit for being the literary
center. Il New York correspondent Of
the Pittsburgh Dispatch writes.
There are more book-lovcrs in this
town than in any other city in the
world. This may cause a smile. but
facts prove the assertion. The an
nual report of the New York public
library shows that the years circula-
ton of books is close TO eleven mil
lion volumes, 1t is The opinion Of
those in charge Of the public liIra-
ricS, than whom there are 10 better
judges, no better instructors, that
New York today i rradin. moi mere
ly for pleasure or amusement. but
for instruction. Statistics gathered
Ivy The central library show that New
York is reading less to pass an idle
hour or two---ihe book of dav. so to
speak than ii has at any time be-
fore. 1t has learned how to read.
In other words, it has ACQUIRED the
art Of reading, which is the secret of
reading. According TO the libra
rians. the New York reader of the
present is not only deriving pleasure
from a good book, but mental food.
Their tastes run 10 books on sociol-
osy, To poetry, to drama and TO arts,
There is also a great demand for
Shakcspcare's works, Dickens, Scott,
rhackeray, Stevenson and all the
so-called standard authors. An in
teresting phase showing the bent of
the mind of New Works readers is
noted by library officials in the in
creased demand for books on art, es-
pecially as TO interior household dec
Grafton. 1t is not only the women
who require these books, but more
particularly the men.

WILL IRRIGATE VAST TRACT
Engineers Plan irrigation Scheme In
india That 10 o. Enormous I'm.
portanee TO Country.

The great irrigation scheme known
as the Punjab Triple canal is now
nearing completion. This enormous
system will irrigatc about two mil
lions of acres in the central Punjab.
1t appears that in the Puniab two
crops are grown in the year, the
kharif or summer crop, from April
to September. and the rabi or winter
crop, from October to March. The
melting Of the Himalayan SHOWS and
the monsoon afford abundant water
for the first of these. but not for the
rabi. which is the more valuable of
the two crops. Transfer of water
from west to east has therefore be-
come essential. This supply has to
be carried from the Jhclum river
across two other great and widely
separated rivers, the Chcnab and
Raw: and across numerous for
midablc hill torrents. So complete
is the scheme that flour mills are
actually provided at the important
falls, to use the power which would
otherwise run to waste. There are
29.Gl5 miles of channels for irrigat-
Ing purposes in the entire system.
The total cost is estimated at $685.

Westcott viii Nominate.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Judge
John w. Wescott, of Camden. N. j.,
will nominate President Wilson at
the ST. Louis convention.
Recently the president wrote Judge
Wescott, asking him to make the
nominating speech. Westcott had
performed the office at Baltimore
four years ago. On the same day
that Westcott received the letter, the
New Jersey delegation met and de-
cided that Governor Fielder, one of
the delegates at large, was the man
to nominate Wilson.
Judge Westcott accepted the honor
and on the same day Governor
Fielder wrote the president. inform
ing him of the action of the delega-
ton and asking for suggestions con-
cerning the nominating speech.
The president wrote to the cover
nor. explaining the dilemma which
had arisen. Governor Fielder asked
the Jersey delegation to rescind
their action and this, it is understood
will be done.

COURT ROOM IS CROWDED
WHEN ORPET TRIAL BEGINS

selection of jury would be tedious
procedure The defense feared that
a predominence of men from the
neighborhood OF the Lambert resi-
dence, at the Kuppenheimer estate,
would be preiudicial to the interests
of their client.
The sentiment there, Hanna ad-
mftted, was strongly against the
youth
Hanna planed a brief conference
with Orpet at his office in Waukegan
before going to the court room.
Whether the youth himself will take
the stand, was a closely veiled secret,
but Waukegan expected it.
Those who have followed the case
closest believed that Orpet would re-
veal the mystery that surrounded his
tryst OF death with Marian in Helms
woods. that preceded the discovery of
her body there on February 10.
Though States Attorney Dady de-
clined today to admit he would ask
for the death penalty for Orpet, he
announced that each prospective
juror would be questioned regarding
his belief in capital punishment and
that none would be accepted by him
who did not.
AS counsel prepared for the start OF
the trial, rumors were current in
Waukegan that an important letter
had been discovered, Strengthening
the defense's contention that Marian
committed suicide.
This letter, il was said, was an
swered by Orpet with one line, hastily
penned as he prepared to leave Madi-
son, Wis. to meet Marian in Helms
