DEL. TROOPS WITH PERsHINGq
Gen. Wickershan, However, Does MOI
Think Report is Correct

Gen. Wickersham, However, Does Not
Think Report is Correct
According to a dispatch from Dem
ing, New Mexico, as published last
week the militia troops now stationed
at that place have been transferred
to General Pershing's command and
the officers of the Delaware militia
who are now at Deming expect to
be sent into Mexico. Adjutant Gen
eral Wickersham when asked about
this matter said he had heard nothing
about it and knew nothing of it. He
did not think the reported transfer of
command was correct. There was no
verifcation of the report from Wash
ington, and it was thought that if
such action had taken place, the send
ing of militia troops in Mexico TO join
General Pershing's forces there, some
notification of such action would be
sent out from Washington. The rumor
caused some apprehension among
the relatives in the state of the soldiers
at Deming. but their fears were al
layed when they were informed that
the report was probably grJundless.

ANOTHER JACKSON HIGH
WAY SECTION BEEN
DESIGNATED

Louisville, KY, Nov. 2O.-Roads
leading from Nashville through
Florence, Ala, Columbus, MeIi-
dian and Hattiesburg, Miss, were
officially designated late today as
part of the Jackson highway, at
a meeting of the board of direct
ors held here of the Jackson
Highway association.
The selection was made only af-
ter prolonged debate and in the
face OF determined opposition
from advocates of route leading
southwark from Nashville, either
through Decatur or Huntsville,
Ala, to Birmingham, and thence
to New Orleans.
After adoption of the route
through Northwest Alabama and
Mississippi, proposal was made
by President Peter Lee Atherton,
OF the Jackson Highway associa-
ton to add to the Jackson high
way, as a branch, roads leading
to Montgomery by way of Hunts
vile and Birmingham.
This proposal raised second
storm of debate, which was only
ended when a motion to declare a
recess for a period not to exceed
ninety days was adopted. Under
this motion the board of directors
OF the highway association will
meet at Birmingham, at the call of
the president, to consider the pro-
posal for the addition of the
Nashville Montgomery branch of
the highway.
The Jackson highway from
Chicago through Louisville to
Nashville, and an eastern branch
from Buffalo and Niagara Falls
to Louisville, were designated
prior to ee days meeting.

We, the undersigned, commit
tee of three, having been appoint
ed by the Grand Jury at the Oct
ober term 1916 o fBen Hill coun-
ty superior court to investigate
the ACCESSIBILITY of rebuilding the
Dorminey's Mill Road, leading
from Dormincy's Mill toward
Sturgeon Creek Baptist Church,
and particularly that portion run
ming across the lower end of the
Dickson Mill pond
After a careful investigation,
we ind that said road has been
duly and regularly legalized, same
having been done in 1885, and
we further find upon thorough
investigation that said road is
necessary and convenient for a
great number Of citizens of said
county who go to said mill to
have their corn and wheat ground,
ana Tor the purpose of travelling.
We therefore recommend that
SAID road across the lower end of
said pond be rebuilt upon the fol-
lowing terms and conditions:
That you send ten or twelve of
the convicts, together with wheels
and mules and rebuild said road
across hte lower end of said pond.
It further appearing that M.
Dickson will be more benefited
by said road being rebuilt than
any other citizen in said county,
and he having voluntarily offer
ed and agreed, if said road is re-
built, to pay into the County
Treasury $4,000, we recommend
that said offer be accepted and as
soon as the work has been finish
ed upon said road, that he pay in
to the County Treasury of said
county, the sum of $4,000. an
agreement by the said Dickson to
pay said amount is attached to
this recommendation.

ORPET TALETRUE
DEFENCE INSISTS
Plea for Student Accused
of Girls Death Is
Under Way.

Waukegan, H., July 11.-Argument
for the defence was begun to-day by
Leslie p Hanna in behalf of Will H.
Orpet, charged with the murder Of
Marion Lambert.
The defendant" said Mr.. Hanna,
"took the stand as a fair witness. The
shock OF his arrest, of Marion's death,
had worn off. He was no longer tha
frightened youth who, without coun-
sci, talked trratically, perhaps, just
after his arrest. 1t would have been
folly for him 10 have taken the stand
unless he was 10 tell the truth and
the whole truth.
Speaking of the defendants fight
from the girls body, he said: DO
not place too much weight on this"
Taking up the subject of motive as
outlined for the prosecution, Mr.
Hanna said:
"Marion's death by suicide, let
alone murder, meant exposure TO him
if the facts alleged by the state are
accepted His chances of exposure
with Marion in the living were as
nothing compared With the certainty
of il if she died by violence.
But, after all" went on the lawyer,
"the backbone of the states case was
founded on the belief that the cyanide
potassium which killed Marion Lam
bert was a part Of that in the green
house over which the defendants father
had control. That factor has disap-
peared, and with its disappearance ap-
peared the innocence of this defend

VISITOR ASSAULTED
TWICE, ROBBED ONCE
Marichi Believes Same Three
Men Made Both Attacks.

The police are puzzled by two at
tacks made within the last three days
upon James Marichi, of Snamckln,
Penn. Both assaults occurred at
Roosevelt Stree, and Park Row and
both are believed to have been car
ried out by the same trio of assail-
ants. Marichi has been in the city
but a short time.
The first attack occurred Saturday
afternoon, when Marichi was set upon
and severely beaten. His gold watch
and purse were taken, but the police
think the robbery may have been
committed TO supply an ostensible mo-
tive for the attack.
Yesterday afternoon he met three
men he feels certain were his former
assailants. They rushed upon him in
stantly, clubbing him to the sidewalk.
When a passerby came to his aid the
three drew revolvers, fired aimlessly

FIRST SET ADDRESS
British Universities Are Changed
from Academic Schools to
War Colleges.

Professor Gilbert Murray, tn. dis
.;neuished Oxford classicist, who ar
rived in this country yesterday TO con-
duct two weeks conference at tho
summer session OF Columbia Univer-
sity, gave his first lecture yesterday
afternoon before an audience which
filed Hamilton Hall.
In his Introductory remarks Profess
sor Murray spoke OF tho friendly feel
ing existing between England and
America.
Every Englshman feels that his
place is at tho front" he said, "or
certainly at home and not travelling
abroad. When President Butler invit-
ed me TO visit Columbia for this con-
ference was engaged in war work,
but accepted the invitation with the
hope of doing my country service by
helping cement the friendship between
the United States and England.
"We Of England appreciate deeply
the extraordinary sympathy you are
giving to war sufferers. even to our
enemies, and we recognize in the Amer
leans a people friendly TO us. have
tho feeling that II we ever quarrel 1t
will mean the end Of humanity.
All Nations Must Unite.
AT the end OF the war all nations
must unite in rebuilding international
understandings and international COM
mon sense. The world needs more un-
fortified frontiers like that between the
United States and Canada, and fewer
elaborately guarded and highly fortl-
fed frontiers like those Of Europe"
Professor Murray said that the Eng
lish have eagerly looked forward 10 the
present drive, but he said that he
could not predict actual results, add
ing that, were he in England, he would
feel more free to prophesy the future.
"England's universities are now de-
pleted Of scholars" he added, "bu.
they are serving useful purpose IN
being transformed from academic col
leges to war colleges. Men who have
seen active service at the front arc
finishing their educations as officers a.

charge of the War Department.

"The military system has become
thoroughly efficient during the last few
months, and the time has gone past
when man could receive commits,

to his duties and without having seen
actual service at the battle front. The
women's colleges have likewise become
of military use. One of the largest OF
these, at Sommerville, IS well

Washington, July li.-Action with
regard 20 the Senate legislative pro-
rrsmme. with a view to Fastening ad-
iournment. will be taken tomorrow
morning. when the Democratic steering
committee will confer with special
committee of Republican Senators ap-
=, ted by the Republican caucus to-
Gay. This committee consists OF Sem
stors Gallinger, Clark, of Wyoming;
Townsend. Cummins and Harding.
Meantime the Republican caucus has
referred the ship purchase bill to the
Republican Senators on the Commerce
Committee and the revenue bill to Re-
publican Senators of the Finance
Committee for reports.
These reports will be made TO a later
meeting Of the Republican caucus, at
which it will be determined whether a
fhbuster against either of these meas
ures shall be resorted TO. Probabili-
ties were tonight that the Republicans
will merely register their objections to
the bills in the form of campaign
sreeches and will then permit their
passage.
Action on the oil leasing bill was
definitely postponed to-day by the
Democratic steering committee Of the
Senate until the next session. The
committee decided TO have the bill
called up on December 10.
Meanwhile, ignoring the fact that the
Republican Senator'S were actually de-
,ermining the length of the present
session in determining whether or not
they would filibuster, the Democratic
steering committee calmly worked
ahead on a programme. IL was de-
eided TO place the shipping bill first in
order and have the revenue bill come
second. with the child labor bill third.
In making this selection the committee
ignored the threat Of the Southern
Senator'S that if any attempt was made
70 pass the child labor bill they would
talk il 10 death.
Also with a view TO hurrying through
the committee decided TO meet an hour
earlier than usual each day-at II a. m.
and 10 adjourn from two TO three
hours later-at s p. m.-with no recess.

Committee began work on the House
