ANOTHER ARREST IN CONNECTION
 GIRLS DEATH
Druggist Who seld7 Poisoz to w. H. Orpet Taken
 into Custody.

Chicago, Feb. 15.-A new arrest was made today in connection with the death of Miss Marion Lambert, the Lake Forest school girl, whose body was found last week in Helms wood.
 The man arrested was Charles w. Hassinger, drug clerk and university student at Madison, Wis. The charge against him is that he sold to Will liam H. Orpet, the alleged murderer of the girl quantities of drug which was to be used for the purpose of producing abortion.
 But that charge. while it is only cne5 on which Hassinger may be tried, is not the reason for his ar rest. He was arrested so that he may be compelled to give testimony against Orpet. The charge against Hassinger is said to be merely de- vice to hold him as the states most important witness.
 The 'two-cunce phial, in spite of all the new developments of the investi- gation of the tragedy, remains the most important fact in the states case. The state expects to prove that Orpet placed poison in the bottle ant caused Miss Lambert to drink it.
 Hassinger, was to be brought t. Waukegan tonight to confront Orpet with the story of the bottle. Orpe1 has denied buying the bottle.
 The coroner's inquest will be re sumed tomorrow and Orpet himself i: expected to be on the witness stant all day. He will be questioned abou every detail of his relations with Miss Lambert and will be given an op- portGnity to tell his story in his owl way.

It emanates from the interests It would be the height of folly for the Democratic party, after fighting for years for tariff reform to be blindly led into the arms of the protectionists. Their only returns would be the enrichment of the interests who will make vast for tunes cut of this preparedness scare. '

 Will Keep Pledges.

, Washington, Feb. 15.-President Wilson today restored the position tentatively adopted by this govsrn- ] ment regarding the new German and Austrian policy toward merchant vessels.
 The view of the state department has been to accept the suggestions of Germany and Austria. It was decided today by the cabinet to ignore theam and rather to sustain the position or the entente allies.
 After the meeting, it was announc- ed by the state department that the United States twill not depart from the Fundamental principles of inter national law" It was added that the United States recognizes the right of vessels to carry defensive armament as an "established rule of interna- tional law.'
 The announcement that the United States adheres to this policy came after Senator Sterling of south Da- kota had introduced a resolution in the senate, insisting that there should be no acauiescence by this govern trent in the German and Austrian pUllCy Ol WAA ANA NSS-AASC armed msrchantmen.
 Willing to Disarm.
 Sir Cecil lspring-Rice, the British ambassador, who was at the state department during the afternoon. said the British government would disarm it's merchantmen if the United States could guarantee that Germany would keep it's pledges not to sink unarmed vessels. He did not think the United States could do this.
 Secretary Lansing said the sug- gestions made to the entente allies to disarm merchantmen, conditioned in 8 declaration frcm their enemies that no unarned ship would be sunk, were made from a humanitarian standpoint, to save life.
 On the other hand, Secretary Lans- ing intimated the state department may inquire of the Berlin and Vienna governments how they are going to distinguish between armed and un- armed msrchantne en.

RELIEF FUND FOR
 FLOOD SUFFERERS

The Pine Bluff chapter. Daughters Of the American Revolution, yester- day voted S5 to The Graphic's fund for the relief of the flood victims. This was one of four contributions received yesterday. the others beins from Thomas s. James. Tom Kina and an anonymous donor.
 With the fund practically depleted, reports of suffering . the flooded area continue. Men who have been
 in tho stricken district describe the plight of many as pitiable. The situa- tiop is so serious that the relief com mittee has been compelled to dole out food in the most careful manner. None abla to labcr, or who had calls
 upon others were allowed to partici- nate. This course was necessary by tie great demand and the limited re- lief. There are children crying for food, and mothers with babes at their breasts are deprived of the nourish- ment they need.
 Tn the Lake Village section there are 1000 persons, victims of the flood, who will need rations for two weeks, according to statement by County Judge Harry E. Covk and others of Chicot county.
 Pine Bluff people have responded nobly, but there are many who have net vet contributed. and these would be prompt ta' aid did they but realize how deplorable are the conditions
 Imagination cannot picture the pligh Of many of the victims.
