church boards. the ChautauQua
crowds and who are running the dis

and villages. swarmed into St. Paul
today for the opening session OF the
Prohibition national convention.
Motherly old women OF the type
that attend the home and foreign
missionary society meetings back
home and that make jellies for the
pastors aid society picnics, were
in the crowd. So were bearded
grey-haired old men in their black
Sunday go-to-meeting' clothes
some OF them with collars and some
OF them who never wore one.
These delegates who came To St
Paul imbued with the thought OF
downing the Demon Rum are as DIFF

parties as the frock coated city mer

and care less for show.

II was a hot day and a coatless

them "boiled"-dotted the crowd In
the Auditorium.
For instance there was Col. J. NJ.
Ingersoil. OF Idaho. griIzled, grey
mustached ranchman. who sat on
the platform. His boiled shirt was
collarless; he wore no coat, but his
diamond stud illuminated his shirt
as no necktie could. His gray socks

square-toed black shoes and he

Will 0rpet'S GirIiSh Appear
anCe Not in Keeping With
Charge That He FouIIy Slew
Sweetheart, Marion Lambert
BY HONOR TANNING.

WAUKEGAN, Ill, May GA girlish,
brown-haired boy is on trial here,
charged with numbering his sweetheart.
Weak-chinned, delicate, violet-eyed, red
Tipped, he surprises everybody by the
contrast between his fragile appearance
and his strong composure.
He is VIII Orpet, 20. a college boy,
whose sweetheart, Marian Lambert, is,
was found dead-poisoned-in Helm
woods at Lake Forest, the morning aft
er she was known to have kept tryst
with Orpet there.
Look at him
He's not the type that would Stay by
violence; there's nothing of the cave man
in him. He's not the primitive, absymal
brute that femininity is supposed to adj
mire.
There's none of the red-bloom pose in
him; he's not the sort that rules his
sweetheart with a loud voice and tells
his friends, with a knowing swagger,
that women like to be bullied"
His, rather. is the mammals type
soft-voiced, soft-eyed, soulful, pretty"
a heartbreaker-
And all men kill the thing they love,
By all let this be heard;
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some do it with a sword"
THE BITTER LOOK"
The bitter look"-such is the Orpet
contention-was Wills strongest weap-
on. For Will maintains that Marian
took poison after learning he was to
marry Celeste Youkers, who had sup
planted her in his affections.
You couldn't imagine Orpet striking
a girl; pistol so you'd think, would

Less Optimistic View of Peace
Prospects and Rains Caused Break
(By Associated Press. }

CHICAGO, May 22.-Prospect that despite
lessened acreage the Nebraska yield this sea
son might equal the amount harvested in 1915
had bearish influence today on the wheat
market here. Reports were received that con-
ditions throughout the state were nearly per-
feet and that great improvement had been
made in the last ten days. Apathetic adylces
regarded foreign demand counted also against
the bulls. Opening prices, which hanged
from "a off to up, with July at $1.l2 to
S1.12L, and September at SLIPS to $l.121s,
were followed by a material setback all around.
An official forecast Of 100000 bushels in
Kansas this year led afterwards to sharp
break in wheat values, as recent private reports
had indicated less than 1oOOOOO0O bushels. SMALL
ness of decrease in the United States visible
was weak. 8 to 3$d319c net lower with July
at $1.OSh@1 OS% and September at 81 .O9h@

Predictions of enlarged receipts eased the
corn market. There was urgent pressure
though, from sellers. After opening Il down
to 4 advance, prices underwent a moderate
general sag.
In the last part of the session, corn dropped
decidedly lower with wheat. The close was

FOR MURDER OF GIRL

send cold shivers up his spine. A dag
ger would be out of the question-he's
not the dagger sort.
But poison is the weapon the state
alleges-and there is a poser for the
trial jury. Would Orpet, to whom the
gun and the sword alike seem foreign
would he use the quiet. silken method
to rid himself of sweetheart who had
ceased to interest?
Is the crime of which he is accused
in keeping with his velvet character?
Orpet sits in the dingy court between
his father and his mother-only a foot
or so from the curious spectators gath
cred to watch his battle of freedom.
When his parents leave the room he
moves up to his lawyers table. James
H. Wilkerson is the boys attorney, and
he and Ralph ]. Dady, states attorney,
are having a hard time picking a jury
with no fixed opinions"
Four hundred veniremen have been
questioned and only four of them have
been acceptde. 1t is expected that the
jury will be completed before the end
of the week.
In brief, the story of the love-tragedy
that brought Marian Lambert to her
death in the Lake Forest snowdrifts,
and VIII Orpet to the gallows' shadow,
is this:
Orpet, an undergraduate at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin at Madison, and
Marian Lambert, his neighbor, school
chum, and later sweetheart. lived at
Lake Forest, a suburb of Chicago.
DEVOTION WELL KNOWN.
Everybody knew of their devotion, but
nobody knew to what extent il had gone,
until her body, stiff and stark, was
found in the woods a little way from
her home.
On February 10 when they had the
last of many trysts in Helm woods, she
learned, it is believed, that another girl
Celeste Youkers. a school teacher at
DeKalb, Hl.-had won her lovers heart
Orpet left the wood alone-it was morn
ing. Marian was on her way to school. She
didn't follow him. Her half frozen body

Showers in the Eastern Belt
Caused Good Deal of Scat

Stop Loss Orders Were Un-
covered
(By Associated Press. }

NEW YORK, May ga less opti-
mfstic view of peace prospects and
showers or prospects for showers in
easteran belt sections, caused good
deal of scattering liquidation in the cot
ton market today. Liverpool was lower
and the market here opened barely
steady at an advance of points on
May, but generally unchanged to Z
points lower. Active months sold to
s points under Saturdays closing fig.
ures during the early trading with July
declining to 1909 after having sold at
1910 on the call. while October eased
off from 1909 to 1908 with the market
nervous and unsettled during the first
hour.
A few stop orders were uncovered as July
contracts broke through the 13c level toward
the middle of the morning. That position
sold off to 1891, while October touched
1897, and active months generally sold some
IL 10 Is points under last nights closing fig
ures. After the execution of the stop orders,
prices rallied points from the lowest.
There was some talk Of too much rain in the
central and western belts, but the most gen.
eral impression expressed around the ring was
that the moisture would be beneficial IL fol-
lowed by seasonab1e weather
The detailed weather reports showed even
more rains in central and western sections than
suggested by the early map and rather a less
favorable view of crop conditions probably
helped the rally from 1921 to 1900 for July
and from 1897 to 1903 for October. There
was covering this improvement and some
support from trade interests with the market

seed specialists of the United States department

however, show that in handling cotton seed in
