Spots on Marion's
Coat Put There Long
After Girls Death

Waukegan, H., July 6.--Answering
long hypothetical question DR.. W.
o. Krohn, physician and alienist wit
ness, today in the trial of Will H,
Orpet, charged with the murder Of
Marion Lambert, said Miss Lambert
was OF the hysterical type and had a
tendency toward suicide.
Hysteria, of which the defense con-
tends Marion was a victim, is dis
tinct disease of the imagination, the
witness said.
"The victims of the disease" he
added, have distinct tendency to
morbidness and to commit suicide.
DR.. w. G. McNally, expert>themist,
who made an analysis of the stomach
contents Of the body of Marion and
examined also the spots on Marions S
coat took the stand for the defense
this afternoon. Indirectly lie stated
the cyanide of potassium on the coat
was put there long after Marions
death on February 9.
He said that the odor of cyanide
disappears in few days and cannot
be chemically detected after two
weeks. That on the coat, he said,
he could smell on June l3, five months
after the death OF Marion.
my experiments show that the
spots could not possibly have been
there over eight weeks" the witness
declared.

STATE GOLF PLAY
MARKS ARE UPSET
John Redick Is Trimmed by
Ralph Peters and Sprague
Triumphs Over Foye.
REYNOLDS is FAvoR1TE
BY LOUIS H. COOK.

When the final scores for the days
play in the state golf tournament at
the Field club were turned in last
night the prophets and the wise
guys" threw up their hands in dis
may and headed for the tall and
uncut
For many things happened yester-
day which were not on the regular
bill of fare. For instance, it was a
rather stiff jolt to the dopesters when
Paul Scott, Council Bluffs Rowing
association youngster eliminated
Jack Hughes in the morping round.
Several other buckets Of dope were
spilled early in the afternoon when
it became known that John Redick,
state champion, had been defeated by
his fellow clubman, Ralph Peters, city
champion.
But these were minor surprises to
that occasioned when E. H. Sprague,
who has been playing for the Coun-
try club for decade or two, but
who has heretofore been content to
permit the feminine end of the family
to win whatever championships were
garnered, waltzed into the eighteenth
green bearing the scalp Of Captain
w. J. Foye, state champion in 1911,
and who had been figured as an al
most certain finalist this year be-
cause Of comparatively easy draw
before him.
Williams Falls.
The two early dark horses of the
tournament, Joe Williams of the Field
club and Paul Scott of Council Bluffs,
didn't do much dark-horsing after the
first round. Jimmy Allen Of the
Field club took care of Williams
neatly, and Jack Sharp proceeded to
put Scott out of the running
As result of yesterdays play, four
Field club representatives and four
Country club men will fight it out
for the championship. These eight
will be weeded down to two survi-
vors by tonight, and the dopesters
are considerably up in the air as to
who will get into the finals.
In the first section of the draw,
Jack Sharp and James Allen of the
Field club will meet this morning,
with honors figured about even. In
the other half of this section, Frank
Hale of the Field club will play Z. H.
Sprague OF the Country club, with
Hale slight favorite.
In the other half of the draw, Bill
Chambers OF the Country club meets
Ralph Peters of the Country club,
and Sam Reynolds of the Field club
will play Clarence Peters of the
Country club Ralph Peters and Rey-
nolds are the favorites. .5 f
The best guess, possibly, is that
either Sam Reynolds or Ralph Peters
will play either Sprague or Hale in
the finals tomorrow. That's guess
with plenty of latitude, and probably
is about as wide of the mark as some
of the predictions already made.
Sam Reynolds, however, is the ia
vorite at present a pool was

PROPOSAL MADE
|. BY CARRANzA IS.
ACCEPTED BYU.S..
Differences Between the United
States and Mexico Will Be
Settled by Direct Nego-
II tiation.
MEDIATION UNNECESSARY
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing Decide Upon q
Course at Conference.
ANSWER Is READY SOON
MEDIATION UNNECESSARY
ANSWER IS READY SOON

Washington, D. C., July 6.-Formal
acceptance of General Carranza's
proposal that differences between the
United States and the de facto gov.
ernment of Mexico settled by di-
rect negotiations, will be dispatched
soon to Mexico City. This was de-
cided by President Wilson today at
conference with Secretary Lansing.
The Mexican note delivered yester-
day said the de facto government had
accepted in principle Latin-Ameri-
can offers Of mediation. but was
awaiting information as to whether
the United States believed the desir-
able results could be accomplished by
direct exchanges between the two
governments.
Secretary Lansing will leave to-
morrow for months vacation, Il
was not stated today whether he
would prepare the reply to Mexico
before his departure, but indications
arr that it will go forward within
day or two at most.
carranza Must Make Good.
While General Carranza's amicablc
reJoinder to the last two American
notes has greatly eased tension, no
official was willing today to predict
the final outcome OF the negotiations
which are foreshadowed. 1t was made
plain Immediately after, that the with
drawal of General Pershing will not
be acceptable basis for whatever plan
OF cooperative action along the Dor.
der is worked out.
Washington officials take the posi-
tion that only the preliminary step
has been taken by General Carranza
toward the friendly adjustment he
now appears to desire. Demonstra-
ton Of his ability to carry out the
promises expressed and implied in his
note is still lacking.
The efficiency of Mexican police
measures may be put soon to q Sc
we're test, according to rumors trans
mitted from the border Today to the
STATE department. These state that
Francisco Villa has recoveted from
his wounds and is personally leading
! force northward from the region
just south Of Parral.

Another American
i Marine is Killed
I. In Santo Domingo

Washington, July 6--Another en-
gagement between $50 revolutionists
in Santo Domingo and American
marines, in which ,twenty-seven Do
minicans were killed and five cap
tured and one marine killed and eight
wounded, was reported to the Navy
department today by Rear Admiral
Caperton. The fight occurred July /
before the tentative agreement was
made for the disarmament Of the
rebels.
The American killed was Corporal
George Fravee. Only one Of the
wounded marines was injured seri-
ously.
The revolutionists were routed, Ad-
miral Caperton reported, carrying off
a number OF wounded during their
retreat.
The engagement occurred in the
interior, at Guayacanes.

Lincoln, July 6.-(Special.) load
ing of cars with the wagons neces.
sary to convey baggage and other
equipment Of the Fourth infantry Of
Nebraska and the signal corps began
this afternoon.
1t will take forty-five~cars to trans
port the equipment and men, includ'
ing sleepers and other cars. There
will be twenty-one baggage wagons
and two ambulance wagons for the
regiment besides the equipment of the
signal corps and the horses. The load
ing of the baggage wagons will be
under the supervision of Captain
William Kelso, commanding the
Fourth regiment supply company OF
Wisner, who is also quartermaster
of the company.
No One Says When.
When the troops viii go, however,
remains mystery. Orders were re-
ceived last night to move within thir-
ty-six hours, but at noon today no
cars had arrived for the transport OF
the troops and no one appeared to
know when they would come or
where they would come from.
There are some things in connec-
ton with the movement Or lack Of
movement, rather, of the Nebraska
troops that may later be looked into.

troops should be given a low grade

TO PAY MORE TAXES.
Six of Forty-seven Counties
Reporting Show Reduction.
OVER 100000 INCREASE
Tax Statement From Various cour
ties to the Auditor Of State Show
That Majority Of Taxpayers
Must Stand for Raise.

Des Moines.-Of forty-seven coun-
ties which have sent tax statements
to the auditor of state, forty-one have
increased the amount of taxes to be
paid in 1916, compared with payments
made in 1915. Only six counties have
made reductions.
The forty-seven counties paid s22,-
463,746 taxes last year. This year
they will pay $24,172,1S1, an increase
of $1,7OS,4S5. At this rate the total
taxes to be paid in the state will be
increased over 100000.
State officials know OF no reason
for this general increase in taxes.
The state tax levy shows a reduction.
In many of the counties the In
crease is due to the raise in levy for
school purposes, according to w. H.
Williams, revenue clerk in the audi
tors office.
The taxpayers OF. Polk county last
year paid s2,S39,116 taxes for all pur-
poses. The amount to be collected
this year is sS,06S,70s, an increase Of
$229,592. The statement from Polk
county shows that the courthouse tax
has been increased $1,000 and that
the school district tax jumped from
s1,069,252 to s1,210,452. On the other
hand the city tax in Polk county
dropped from $1,015,619 to $949,S75.
The six counties which reduced
taxes are: Cass, Cherokee, Monona,
Pocahontas, Pottawattamie and Sac,
Van Buren, county shows an in
crease in taxes from $24l,5o0 to
S277,044.
Crawford county shows an increasl
OF almost 100000 In taxes and Des
Moines county taxes jump from $685..
S66 to $S01,9l3.
The Floyd county auditor reports
that the demand for drainage systems
in that county was so great this fall
that his office has been rushed with
work and the tax statement will be
slightly delayed. He reports tremen-
dous activity in drainage work In
that section of the state.
