AsSAILS FOES OF oRPET
r. n. Potter, Following Prosecutor
Dady, Puts Innocent Construction
of Facts Before Jury.

Waukegan, July 13.-By force of ar
gument in court Will Orpet first stood
forth as the cold, calculating, cunning
murderer of Marion Lambert, only to
be left standing there-a foolish, blum
dering boy trapped in an ugly situa-
ton.
Ralph ]. Dady, Lake County prose-
cutor, bringing his powerful denunci-
alton of the accused youth to a sting
ing close, drew the first picture. Ralph
III. Potter, Orpet's counsel, then took
up the argument methodically rear
ranging the facts for the brand-new
scene.
The defense attorney spared the
state nothing in this attack upon the
attempt to convict a bad boy" of
a crime which he never committed.
He reviled the states attorneys for
their nasty mind" which led them
to place wrong constructions upon
every act of the boy and girl.
He tainted the prosecution on it's
expert testimony. He claimed that
the states case had fallen like a
house of cards about the ears of the
prosecutors when it was shown that
cyanide of potassium in the ashes at
the Mccormick greenhouse was moth
ing but cyanide of sodium.

V|LL|STAS WIN
l2-HOUR FIGHT
Carranza Forces Defeated in
Southern Chihuahua.
FIRST CHEF GUSTS TREvINo
General Reported to Have imprisoned
Officer Sent to Succeed Him as
Commander of Troops in
Northern Mexico.

Ell Paso, Tex, July 13.-Unofficial
reports to the American military off
Gals here indicate that Pancho Villa
has completely routed the Caranzista
forces in southern chihuahua after a
12-hour fight, which ended at noon.'
The information was received
through reliable American mining
companies who have large interests in
the vicinity of Parral.
Gen. Francisco Gonzales, the Car
rama commander at Juarez, and Con-
sui Andreas Garcia said they had been
unable to get an official report of the
battle. This silence is accepted as
significant by the American army Off
Gals. 1t is not the custom of the Mex
leans to report a defeat.
Gen. TreVino Ousted.
Strife within the ranks of Carranza
commanders is indicated in a report
received here to the effect that Gen.
Jacinto B. Trevino, commander in
chief of all troops in the state of Chi
huahua and northern Mexico, has been
deposed by order of Minister of War
Aware Obregon, and Gen. Ignacio En-
riquez, former civil governor of the
state Of Chihuahua, appointed in his
place.
General Enriquez is now four days
overdue at Chihuahua city, having
started north about a week ago from
Mexico City with his commission. In
xyi foil 70
General Trevino has given out story
to the effect that Enriquez was cap
tured and executed by Villistas at
Diaz, the first station north of Jimi-
nez on the Mexican Central railroad.
This story is disputed and an investi-
CATION is said to be under way to as
certain if Enriquez has not been
placed in Jail at Torreon by order of
Trevino.
TreVino Given Another Post.
BY the same order of General Obre-
gOn, Trevino has been appointed mil
itary commander of the states of
Nueva Leon and Tamaulipas, in north
eastern Mexico, a post, it is said, to
which he does not aspire. All the APP
pointees of Trevino are also said to
be removed by the war chiefs order,
including those of Gen. Francisco Con
zales at Juarez and Gen. Luis Her
rera at Parral. Both of these generals
are to accompany Trevino to his new
field.
There is report that Gen. Gabriel
Gavira who was believed to have
been executed several weeks ago, is to
replace General Gonzales. He was
said to be on the same train with En-
riquez. Bad blood exists between Ire
vino and Enriquez since the latter was
deposed as civil governor of Chihua-
hua to make room for Col. Francisco
Trevino, brother of the commander in
chief and the incumbent

carranza's Troops Admit "First Chief"
Has Secured Services of
Experts.

Nogales, Ariz., July 13.-German Of
ficers are drilling Carranza forces
at Magdalena and other concentration
points south of Nogales, according to
American arrivals from Hermosillo.
Their reports substantiate statements
by Capt. r. w. Schwierz, German Sc
cret service agent held here pending
his preliminary hearing in United
States court.
Uniforms similar to those worn by
American soldiers first called their at
tention to men drilling troops. All
Mexican officers when questioned told
that active German assistance had
been secured by Carranza, the extent
which they did not know. The ac-
complete of Captain Schwierz, who es-
capped across the line, as SchwierZ, was
arrested, appeared on the streets of
Nogales, Sonora, attired in Mexican
uniform with officers insignia.
The Southern Pacific railroad of
Mexico will not attempt to again take

administered by the Carranza govern

Officials observe that it is impossible
to attempt to operate the system,
which extends 800 miles down the Mex
lean west coast, with conditions grow
ing worse. Several previous attempts
to operate proved futile.
Mexican officials state that if the
road is not Immediately operated by
the company it will be subject to con-
fiscation under the same decree by
which the immense holdings of the
Richardson Construction company be-
came the property of the Mexican gov
eminent.
Ell Paso, Tex, July 12.-Official de-
NAL of the reports that the Carranza
army under General Trevino at Chi
huahua City had evacuated that place
before the advance of a large Villa
force was issued today in Juarez. The
denial was generally accepted as true,
though the reports of Chihuahuas
evacuation had been so strong that
General Bell, commander at Fort
Elisa, had forwarded them to Wash
ington.

WHERE WOMEN SELECT MATE
In New Guinea II Is Considered Be-
meath the Dignity of Men to
Take Time to Court.

So far as proposals of marriage are
concerned, in New Guinea it is always
leap-year, for IL that island the men
consider it beneath their dignity to no.
tice women, much less to make over.
lures of marriage. Consequently the
proposing is left to the women to DO,
When the ebony belle falls in love
with man she sends a piece of string
to his sister, or, If he has no sister
to his mother, or another of his lady
relatives.
Then the lady who receives the
string tells the dusky brave that the
particular damsel is in love with him,
No counting follows, however, for it Is
considered beneath a New Guinea gen.
tler"an's dignity to waste time In suce
a pursuit.
If the man thinks he would like to
wed the lady, he meets her alone, and
they decide straight away whether to
marry or drop the idea.
In the former case the betrothal Is
announced. The man is then branded
on the back with charcoal, while
mark is cut into the woman's skin.
No breach-of- promise actions are
possible in New Guinea, though If the
lady is Tilted her friends may hunt her
lover up and "go" for him. On the
other hand, If the dark damsel proves
faithless, she is liable to be eaten BY
her betrothed II he catches her.

the allies' blockade has been rendered
ineffective by the feat of the subma-
rine Deutschland in reaching the
United States with cargo, and argue
that it should no longer be recognized

Second Submarine Coming.
Baltimore, Md, July 1.-THE Ger
man supersuDmarine Bremen, sister
ship of the Deutschland, now in Balti-
more harbor, has cleared from a Ger
man port and is now en- her way to
the United States. This statement
was inadvertently made by Paul Hill
ken, local agent of the Deutsche
Ozeon-Rhererei, which controls the
merchant submarines. Hilken declined
to say what port the Bremen cleared
from or to indicate in any way when
she might be expected to arrive. He
declares that the safety of the vessel
would be jeopardiZed if information
became public which might aid British
and French warships to locate the Sec
ond submarine.
McAdoo Issues Statement
Washington, July 13.-Secretary Nc
Nho 20 for, -
81 received the official reports of the
officers designated to examine the Ger
man submarine steamship Deutsch-
land at Baltimore for the purpose of
determining whether the vessel is a
warship or merchantmen. These re.
ports were made by the collector OF
customs of the port of Baltimore, the
surveyor of the port and Capt. G. f.
Hughes and other officers of the navy
detailed for the purpose at the request
of the Secretary of the Treasury.
'"The three reports, based upon q
careful examination, agree that the
Deutschland is a merchant vessel and
not warship"
Acting Secretary of State Polk
stated the joint state and navy neu-
trality board would consider the re.
ports before the state department de.
cides upon the status of the vessel. A
decision by the state department is ex.
pected Friday.
The state department admitted the
United States government probably
would have no right to protest If a
British warship should destroy the
Deutschland and no Americans were
aboard.
The British embassy inquired again
If the status of the Deutschland had
been fixed officially. The allied gov
ernments expect the ship to be de
clared merchantmen, but hope thai
there may be at least a recognition OF
their contention that all submarine
vessels potentially are warships.

MORE CHILDREN EXPECTED AT
 SCHOOL

Although the Cordova school board, in its annual estimate of expenses pre- scented to the city council last night, asked for only S3,6OO, it was stated that this estimate is based on the num- Der of pupils in attendance at the close of the past school year, which number it is said is almost certain to be increased this fall, which will necessitate the employment of an other teacher and an increase in the expenses of the school to 5000.
 The school board also recommends the construction of a covered play ground, where the children can exer- else in the fresh air on days when the weather is such that it is impossible for them to play in the open.
 On account of the expected increase in the number of children who will be in attendance at the next term of

HEALTH OFFICER INDICATES
 INDIANS

The odor which emanates from the foot of C street on warm days, and which caused the residents in that vicinity to protest to the city council against the presence of a number of natives who live in that district, is not caused by the Indians, according to Health Officer Council, but by Saphrophytes.
 The aforesaid Saphrophytes, 1t ap- pears. are present in great numbers, and like the better known but less favored pole cat, make their presence known by irritating the olfactory nerves.
 The white residents demanded either the abatement of the nuisance or the removal of the Indians. Since the health officer has shifted the blame upon the Saphrophytes, it will be necessary to take some action against them. Although the health officer asserts they really are harm. less.
 The letter to the city council fol lows:
 June 19, 1916. To the Mayor and City Council,
 Cordova, Alaska.
 Gentlemen:-
 Replying to your inquiry concerning the sanitary conditions prevailing at and near the foot of c street, respect fully beg to report that have, from time to time, both prior and subse' quent to the receipt of your inquiry, examined the conditions referred to, and have found nothing calculated to endanger the public health. It is true that on warm days at low tide quite disagreeable odor arises from the tide flats, but this does not necessar. fly indicate an unhealthful condition, since the process of decay produced by a group of bacteria known as saprophytes. which are harmless, ne. cessarily occasions the odors in the disintegration of organic bodies. In. quiry reveals the fact that in the cabin complained of there are only two elderly persons and one child re- siding. Quite a number of Indian children may usually be seen playing in that vicinity, but they do not re side in the cabin mentioned. Respect fully yours,

than its share in assisting in building
up Jackson and Washabaugh counties.
The Belvidere State Bank has grown
in leaps and bounds since the time
the Press man located at Kadoka a
year and ahalf ago, and the fact Of
this large growth is due entirely to
the courteous treatment given its
customers by the able management,
President Hodson and Cashier Pier.
Their statement at this call shows de-
posits of $72, $50. 50, loans of 500, ais. "a,
the expense is charged off and the
undivided profit account stands at
S2,12S.17. The Belvidere State Bank

full share in helping the home builder
of jackson, western Mellette and
eastern Washabaugh county, on to a
successful financial footing.
