STATES ATTORNEY
WILL TAKE STAND
VIII Testify As To Statements
Made by Josephine Davis
to Him

Courtroom, Waukegan, ILL.,, June A.
The contention of Will Orpet's defense
that poison was found beneath the FIN
ger rails of Marion Lambert, indicat-
ing she had taken cyanide herself, was
refutcd on the witness stand in Orpet S
trial Cor Marion 8 murder today.
Coroner j. L. Taylor, who conducted
the inquest over Marion's body, testi-
fled that there was flakey white
powder in Marion S hair, that every lit
tue crevice of her right palm was filled
with it, but that there was none beneath
the finger nails.
"Tbis POWDER" he said, "was ap-
parently from the evaporation of a
liquid form of cyanide. The stains were
such that indicated they might have
been received by Marion brushing her
hand across her mouth when in agony
of death. "
Tayl'r declared his autopsy showed
Marion, at the time of her death was
not IN the condition she was said to
have feared
"There were no signs Of it, he tes-
titled Taylor also revealed the fact
that the glove from Marion IS right hand
when her body was found had been
found and was in the states posses
sion.
Counsel for the defense today asked
Taylor if he had examined the gloves
for traces Of this white powder and re-
piled no.
Thau Orpet's father was called to the
stand for a minute to identify an
"alibi letter" written by viii. James
King, foreman of the corOner's jury
that conducted the inquest, and William
Marshall, who was with Frank Lambert,
Mariops father, when her body was
found, were other witnesses today.

Modes of Today
At o very little cost any woman can
rid her face of hairy growths if she
will use the delatone treatment. This
is made by mixing some water with
a little powdered delatone. This paste
is spread upon the hairy surface for ?
or 3 minutes, then rubbed off and the
skin washed, when every trace Of hair
will have vanished. No harm results
from this treatment, but care should
be used to buy real delatone.

Courtroom, Waukegan, ILL.,, June H.
State S Attorney Ralph J. Dady, prose
cutor of viii Orpet, will take the stand
in Orpet's trial to refute the testi-
monr of Josephine Davis whom Dady
considered TIC states principal wit
ness but whose story of Marion Lam
bert y suicide threat proved a boom
erang to the prosecution.
Dady said today he would be sworn
as a witness before the end of the
trial and repeat to the jury the story
Josephine told him after Marion s
body was found under the Three Oaks,
in Helms woods In that story, Dady
declared today Josephine said nothing
of suicide threats but tried to fasten
blame for Marion s death on Orpet
Ralph Webster, Chicago chemist, was
to be the principal witness toray.
Lewis was to lay before the jury the
tangle of persons that figured in Ma
riOn u death and was said to be ready
to testify that the cyanide of potas-
sium found in her stomach could have
been taken only in a liquid form. Sew
eral University OF Wisconsin authori-
ties ere said to be ready to give the
same testimony.
1t was learned today that the pfosecu-
tion had suffered another blow imme-
diately following Josephine Davis
bomb shell testimony. A number of
Madison witnesses counted on by the
state to show that Orpet arranged a
careful alibi the day of Marion S death,
will not come to Waukegan to testify, it
was stated.

Tariff Helps Germany.

Recently the New York Evening Tel
egram chronicled the fact that as a
result of the war America had gained
a new industry, quartz glass;" hith-
erto imported from Germany, although
made from a sand found only in Ne
braska, being now manufactured in
New York city.
Taking up this matter, the Ameri-
can Economist wants to know whether
the new industry can survive. II does
not cost much to transport quartz
sand from Nebraska to Germany. After
the sand reaches Germany 1t costs
about one-third as much to convert 1t
into quartz glass as it costs in the
United States. The trainers of the
Underwood tariff evidently intended
that Germany should keep on making
quartz glass for this country. If not,
why should they have reduced the
tariff from As to 80 per cent? The
war has acted thus far as a prohibit
tive tariff. When the war ends the
rate will go back to 80 per cent. 1t re-
mains to be seen how this new Amer
lean industry Wi get along under a
free trade tariff unmitigated by war
conditions.
Framing our tariff to protect a lot
of infant industries for other nations
is something that needs looking after.

Prosperity; Let Us Keep IT.

When the European war developed
in the midsummer of 1914 as con-
fiagration that could not be stopped
it was at once apparent that an i'm
mediate effect would be to stimulate
all forms of industrialism in this
country. This actually happened. The
wheat yield of the United States for
1914 was a record-breaker, but the
price of the bread cereal and of all
other farm products rose enormous
ly. There was a call upon a large
and varied schedule for materials to
equip the great armies. European in
dustrialism was completely democrat
lied; export trade in the United
States decreased immensely; the
American manufacturer before the
end of the first year Of the war found
that he had his homo market, the
most important market in the whole
world, practically to himself, says Bal
timore American. No protective tar
iff, no matter how high the rate sched-
ules may have been arranged, could
have been so effective in protecting
the American producer and the Amer
lean wage Garner against the low-wage
competition of Europe as the war.
The war has done exactly what it was
expected to do; It has started won
derful prosperity wave in this coun-
try 1t has created market abroad
without interference with the homo
market.

OPPOSED TO BONDS
Democratic Party Displays Its
Usual Stupidity.
Leaders Differ Over Matter Which
Seems 70 Admit Of No Dispute
United States Tariff Help
to Foreign Commerce.

The Democratic obsession against
the issue of bonds in times of peace
continues Il is strikingly illustrated
in the attitude of Secretary McAdoo
and Democratic Floor Leader Kitchin
of North Carolina. They are opposed
on the question of defense, but as to
the great wickedness of employing this
well-known financial device they seem
perfectly agreed.
Mr.. Kitchin finds that the treasury
condition is not good and that there is
not enough money in sight to defray
the ordinary expenses of the govern
ment. to say nothing of paying for bet
ter national defense. The idea that
this is an extraordinary situation and
that measure not resorted to under
ordinary circumstances is justified
does not seem to occur to him. Or if
the idea occurs it is rejected with
classic Democratic horror as an in
vention of the powers of darkness be-
cause it involves bond issue.
On the other hand, we have Secre-
tary McAdoo strongly In favor Of
large outlays for preparedness but in
sisting on meeting them out of the cur
rent income. He is just as confident
that all the funds needed for ordinary
and extraordinary purposes will be
realized by his taxation scheme as he
was that the income tax receipts
would DO vastly greater than they
were. The fact that a bond issue has
satisfactory certainty does not even
begin TO outweigh, in Mr.. McAdoo's
mind, the iniquity of small increase
of our relatively small national debt.
Back of this obsession is the old
idea of the unpopularity of a bond is
sue among the people. 1t is not i'm
probable, however. that the public
opinion in that regard has changed
much faster than the Democratic opin-
ion. 1t is quite possible that an in
crease in the extraordinary taxation
and the extension of the income tax
may wake displeasure even among
those who are supposed to regard a
bond issue as the certain sign of the
nations collapse.-New York World.

ASKS IMPEACHMENT OF
UNITED STATES JUDGE
Charges Against George A. Car
penter of Chicago.

Washington, Feb. pa petition
asking the impeachment of Judge
George A Carpenter of the United
States court at Chicago has been filed
with the house judiciary committee by
Representative Tinkham of Massa-
chusetts.
Mr.. Tinkham filed the petition on
Saturday at the request of Christopher
F. Sweeney of Boston, one of his con-
stituents. who charged Judge Carpen-
ter with improper practice in connec-
ton with the Rock Island railroad re-
Ownership. Mr. Tinkham has told the
members of the committee that he is
not sufficiently informed on the Rock
Island case to say whether or not he
believes the committee should act on
Mr.. Sweeney's petition.
The petition, however, has been re-
ferred to Representative Green Of
Iowa, who said that the questions in
it were of sufficient Importance to COM
mand the attention of the house COM
mittee. Mr.. Green intimated that he
probably would take charge OF the
case and ask the committee either to
present receivership of the Rock
Island or both.
Mr. Sweeney in his petition says
that in 1902 he bought 10000 worth
of Chicago, Rock Island G. Pacific rail-
road 4 per cent bonds. paying $500
for them.
The compliments principal conten-
ton is that Judge Carpenter knowingly
appointed as receivers men who were
friendly to the Moore-Reid group,
which had been charged by the inter-
state commerce commission with ex-
plotting the Rock Island.
The petition also draws attention to
the fact that a receivership was asked
on a claim of $4,000 in the case of a
property worth anywhere from $780,
600. 600 to 100000 900.
1t is charged that there is a plan on
foot to bring about foreclosure on the
company's stock and restore control to
the Moore-Reid syndicate.

ICE WORKERS IN A BATTLE
Blood Flows Freely During Arguments
Between Representatives of
Contending NationaIlties.

Kenosha.-The streets of the village
of Bristol in the western part of this
county almost iran red with blood"
when more than 800 ice workers, fol-
lowing an argument between nationali-
ties, engaged in a pitched battle. The
men had started to Kenosha by train
and when Bristol was reached they
left the train and began the battle.
Eyes were blackened, heads broken
and blood flowed freely. A score of
windows in one of the cars were brok-
en-. The men were finally forced to
board the train, and when it reached
Kenosha, sixteen alleged to have been
ringleaders in the battle were arrested.
The others were sent on to Chicago
without being allowed to stop in Ke-
nosha.
The state industrial commission sent
a representative to Kenosha to make
an investigation into conditions about
the ice houses.

Oshkosh.-By a vote of 361 to 81,
the former employees Of the Paine

They also agreed to employ as many
men as possible and to take back all
the men formerly working there, ex-
cept the fifty referred to. In the places
of those men the receivers agreed to
employ fifty others as they might be
required, and would permit the mer-
chants committee to submit a list
from whom the fifty would be chosen.
