TROOP MOVEMENT
NEWS CENSORED
Mobilization Exceeds Expecta-
tons of General Staff-Baker's
Military Aid Begins Work.

Washington, June 30.-At the War
Department to-day measures to furnish
a military force along the border ade-
quate for any emergency continued
to go forward with undated speed.
A censorship OF all official news as to
the movements Of individual units of
tho National Guard was applied for
the first time, orders of similar nature
already having gone out to depart
mental commanders.
Major Douglas Macarthur, Engineer
Corps, attached to the General star
assumed his duties as military aid to
the Secretary and directly in charge
Of all War Department information
dealing with the Mexican crisis. He
issued his first official communication
as to the troop movements and de-
partmental activities during the day.
Information that might be OF value
to an enemy was deleted from dis
patches made public.
II was stated officially that mobili-
cation of the troops was proceeding ..
a rate that exceeded the expectations
Of the General staff. Prompt and ef-
fcient cooperation from railroads ard
merchants throughout the country has
eliminated confusion and delay. 1t is
now estimated that the entire force
called out under President Wilson's
order of Sunday. June lS, will be on
the border within another two weeks,
armed, equipped and supplied for
campaign Of any kind.
Draft Proclamation Begun.
The framing of proclamation apply
ing to the National Guard the draft
provisions authorized in the resolu-
ton adopted by Congress this week
was begun by legal officials at the War
Department. IL will be made ready Tor
President Wilson's signature whenever
he decides that the step is necessary.
Officials believe the machinery has
been furnished by Congress under
the guard could be rushed quickly TO
the border if further reinforcement of
General Funston's lines became neces-
sary.
With regard to ordnance and quar-
termasters' supplies for the army now
being forwarded TO the front, il was
said officially that ample provision has
been made for all the present force
and olso ~ cara for proper reserves
There is no shortage Of small arms or
ammunition, and field artillery can be
supplied faster than men can he trained
TO handle the guns.
Considering the great distances the
troops are forced to travel to reach the
border, officials feel that exceptional

the real danger in the situation. Cap
tain Boyd had orders 70 so 20 Anu
mazda, while Gomez was instructed 20
prevent any eastward movement ON
Gals have pointed out that not only
were Captain Boy9's orders inconsist-
ent with the agreement not TO enter
towns. but that General Gomez gave
liberal Interpretation 20 his own in
structions in not firing on the Ameri-
cans at sight.
II is limited in official quarters that
the CarriIal incident will form the
subject of an extensive inquiry to fix
whatever responsibility belongs TO the
Americans on the proper officers. Cabi-
net officials say that it will not be the
subject OF further controversy with
Mexico.
The point at issue with Carranza,
however. is whether his order TO at
tack American forces advancing east,
west or south is defensive or an ag-
sre.sive measure. According 20 re-
ports now at the War Department, Of
feiais say there is no ground Tor be-
iiev;ns that Gomez acted defensively
IN the belief that he was attacked by
BOYD. But President Wilson is anxious
20 know whether Carranza really re-
CARDS any American advance as a hos
tile move, or is merely taking precsu-
tons for the defence Of his own posi-
tions. "
Army officers say It is impossible for
Pershing 10 conine his troops IN camp
without sending scouting expeditions
TO feel out the Mexican POSITIONS
guarding against a surprise attack. On
the other hand they admit that sueh
scouting parties may reasonably pe
regarded as Carransita officers as al
vance guards, particularly when tney
approach strategic railway polhNs'
With this understanding Of the sltua-
ton. they see no may OF avoiding
clashes except by the withdrawal OF
the troops or the negotiation OF an
agreement with Carranza that Will re-
assure both armies.
II was learned to-day that months
before the attack on Columbus Car
rsnza proposed an agreement for the
pursuit of bandits across the border
md that II was rejected by the United
States. This proposal was again oI-
fered after the Columbus raid, but was
withdrawn BY Carranza when the
limited States interpreted II as legal
izing the Pershing expedition.
O9e Of the terms now insisted on by
prssident Wilson as the basis for any
FIXTURE settlement with Carranza is 'ne
signing of just such an agreement; ~

The War Department order issued to-
day establishing censorship over news
regarding troop movements, follows:
ain view of the fact that general
knowledge of troop movements en- route

WEAVERSON ALIENATION
SUIT DIVIDES JURY
Disagreement Finds s for Mrs.
Frame, Aged Science Reader.

A jury in the Supreme Court report
ed yesterday, after several hours de-
Liberation, that il had failed 70 agree
in the suit of Mrs. Brownie Rathbone
Weaverson for S250,000 damages from
Mrs. Caroline W. Frame for the aliena-
ton of the affections OF Frederick n.
Weaverson, who had been the defend
ants secretary.
Il was said that the jury stood eight
in favor of Mrs. Frame. while four were
for awarding a small amount OF dam
ages 70 Mrs. Weaverson. But the
twelve men, after much arguing, were
not able 70 agree, and so gave IL up,
possibly for another jury 20 pass on.
Three of the jurors, who favored giving
the plaintiff verdict, argued that
Weaverson might have been alienated
from his wife, who is member OF the
Mazdaznan cult, by the valuable gifts
made to him by Mrs. Frame, who Is
seventy-fve years old and was also his
instructor in Christian Science.
The opposing eight took into consid-
Grafton the words of Justice Gsvegan
in his charge that Mrs. Weaverson
shared in the profits OF her husband
from his friendship with Mrs. Frame
and that she never protested very Wig
orously about the attachment, which
Mrs. Frame testified was only that OF
mother and son."

DOCTORS HURT
ORPET DEFENCE
Testify That Marion Lam
bert Was Killed by Poi
son in Liquid Form.

Waukegan. H., June l4.-Dr. John
L. Taylor, Coroner, testified to-day at
the trial of William II. 0rpet for the
alleged murder of Marion Lambert that
the cyanide of potassium which caused
death was taken in liquid form. He
based this statement on allegations
that stains of the poison on Miss Lam
berts person were made by sediment
and not by cyanide in crystal form.
This point was regarded as impor-
tant by the state in connection with
the charge that Orpet bought a two
ounce bottle from Charles Hassinger,
friend, in the drug business at Madi-
son, Wis. The defence. it is said, will
contend that Miss Lambert took the
corrosive in crystal form with her,
probably wrapped in bit of paper.
Dr. Taylor said that stains from the
sediment were on Miss Lambert's hand,
also a streak from a corner OF her
mouth toward her forehead, as II left
there by trickle of liquid.
DR.. B. VI. Parmenter also testified
that, in his. opinion, the poison was
taken in liquid form.
William Marshall, a golf professional
employed at the Ontwentsia County
Club, at Lake Forest, testified to find
ing Marion's body in Helms Wood. He
said he followed the tracks of the man
who was with her for about twenty
yards and then discovered he had re-
traced his steps.
Marshall underwent searching
ross-examination as to the footprints,
due. according TO Attorney Ralph Pot.
ter. Of the defence, to contradiction OF
the testimony of Marshall on this point
with that OF others who were in the
woods on February 10.
"The state contends that Orpet re-
turned TO the body OF the girl, basing
this conclusion on the footprints in
the snow" explained Attorney Potter.
GAS matter Of fact, he ran away as
straight and as fast as he could and
never returned until taken there by
the states attorney. The discrepancies
IN the testimony of the states footprint
observers, therefore, is Of Importance.
