0rpet Complained
Because Called Dear
Instead Of Dearest

Waukegan, ILL.,, June 20.-Celestia
Youker, the "other girl" in the case
of William H. Orpet, university stu-
dent charged with the murder of Ma
rion Lambert, is expected to take the
itness stand tomorrow, when it is
expected that the last of the states
evidence will be presented.
Much of today's testimony con-
cerned statements alleged to have
been made by Orpet to lawyers, po-
licemen and newspaper reporters just
before and Immediately following his
arrest. The admissibility of much of
it was questioned and the witnesses in
many instances were Intercepted
while the jury was excluded from the
room. Its members were brought
back to hear the admissible portions.
1t was first excluded when States
Attorney Dady sketched the pur-
ported contents of the letters from
Orpet to Marion. Last summer they
were ardent and jealous in tone. They
complained because Marion adj
dressed him as dear" instead OF
dearest and in nearly every one
reference was made to illicit rela-
tions, There was lapse III the
series while Orpet was at home in
Lake Forest for the summer vaca-
ton. When he returned to the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin at Madison in
the fall, the tone of the letters was
cooler, States Attorney Dady re-
marked. Marion was no longer dear
est" but merely dear Marion" and
the young man who few months
before had been watching the mails
for her letters to him, was now con-
stantly apoligizing for not writing to
her

Ranks of Militia
Rapidly Filling

Although recruiting is moving for
ward rapidly officers of the guard
are glad to get fresh applications.
The companies are filing up but there
is still a place for any who can meet
qualifications. No company will be
sent to the mobilization camp until
it has at least sixty-hve men up to
standard. The officers expect to have
about eighty-hve men to company
before going to Ashland. This will
allow for a cut by the stricter physi-
cal examination of the federal in
spection staff and still have the COM
paany above the minimum.

C0UCHED IN VIGOROUS TERMS
PATIENCE OF U. s. EXHAUSTED

Washington, June 20-The Amer
lean note fatty rejecting Carranza's
demand for the withdrawal of United
States troops from Mexico and re-
buking the Carranza government for
the discourteous tone and temper of
its last communication was handed
today to Eliso Arredondo, the Mex
ican ambassador designate.
1t concludes with the statement
that if the de facto government con-
tinues to- ignore this obligation and
carries out its threat to defend its ter
ritory by an appeal to arms against
the American troops the gravest con-
sequences will follow.
while this government would
deeply regret such result" the note
says, "it cannot recede from its set
tied determination to maintain its ma
tional rights and to perform its full
duty in preventing further invasions
of the territory of the United States
and in removing the peril which
Americans along the international
boundary have borne SO long with
patience and forbearance."
Troops Will Remain.
Long continued outrages against
Americans and their property, both in
Mexico and on American soil, are re-
viewed in the note and warning given
that the troops will be kept in Mex
leo until such time as the de facto
government performs the duty which
the United States has not sought, in
pursuing the bandits, who ought to be
arrested, and punished by the Mexi-
can government.
Il am reluctant to be forced to the
conclusion which might be drawn
from the circumstances" Secretary
Lansing declares, that the de facto
government in spite of the crimes
committed and the sinister designs of
Villa and his followers did not and
does not now intend or desire that
these outlaws should be captured, de-
stroyed or dispersed by American
troops, or at the request of this gov
ernment by Mexican troops"
/ Mexican Press Antagonistic.
The purposes. s.of the United States
government towards Mexico ques-
toned in the last Mexican note are
announced in the following language:
"If a denial is needed that this gov
ernment has had Interior and improp-
er motives in its diplomatic repre-
sentations, or has countenanced the
activities of American sympathizers
and the American press opposed to
the de facto government, | am glad
emphatically to deny it. 1t is, how
ever, a matter of commoi knowledge

PENALTY REPRIMAND LIKELY

" Washington, June 20.-Contempt
charges against H. Snowden Mar
shall, United States district attorney
at New York. because of his criticism
Of house subcommittee, were sus-
tanned by the house today by vote Of
208 to IS, and the seFgeant-at-arms
was ordered to take Mr.. Marshall into
custody and bring him before the bar
of the house.
1t is expected that a public repri-
mand will be the sentence imposed on
Mr.. Marshall when he is brought be-
fore the bar of the house. The action
is theoutgrowth of impeachment pro-
ceedings brought against him by Rep
resentative Buchanan.
Will Issue Warrant.
Speaker Clark probably will issue
a warrant tomorrow, but some of Mr..
Marshall's friends said tonight he
might anticipate its service and ap-
pear voluntarily. Although house lead
ers have indicated they would be sat
isfied with reprimand, more Sc
we're punishment, including imprison-
ment, might be imposed should the
house so decide. A vote on that
question will be taken later.
An all-day debate preceded the vote
today, Representative Moon, chair
man of select committee which in
vestigated the contempt charges,
leading the fight against Mr.. Mar
shall. He declared the district attor-
ney had offered all Outrageous in
suit to the house" Representatives
Garner ofTexas, Webb of North Car
olina and other members said failure
to sustain the charges would constl-
tute a reputation of the subcommit-
tee and an endorsement of Mr.. Mar
shall's attack on it.
Natural Reply to Make.
Representative Graham of Penn
sylvania, defending the district at
torney, said the subcommittee had
opened a public publicity campaign
to which Mr.. Marshalps statements
were btu the natural reply of an in
dignant man.
Thes subcommittee had erred, he
said, in opening hearings IN New
York ard in trying to obtain ntor.
nation from members of the grand
jury there.
The vote was not partisan.
. The impeachment proceedings were
started by Representative Buchanan
after the district attorneys investi-
CATION of the alleged unneutral &C
tivities of Labors' National peace
council, which resulted in the indict-
ment of Representative Buchanan
and others. Other charges against
Mr.. Marshall related to the general
conduct of his office and particularly
his conduct of the Rae Tanzer per-
jury case.
Marshail's Letter.
Contempt charges were preferred
after the district attorney had writ
ten letter to the investigation sub
committee branding its work as "ir-
regular and extraordinary" and de-
claring it was attempting to protect
a member of congress by running a
district attorney,
Although the subcommittee has rec
commended that the impeachment
charges bed ropped, Representative
Buchanan has asked for hearing
before the full judiciary committee
and both he and Mr.. Marshall will
be permitted to make statements Fri

U. s. WILL REIMBURSE

NiU't q etoAi IstsN'f
Lincoln, June 2GaSSSpecial.) -
Watchful waiting is being practiced
by the state administration with re-
gard to calling out the Nebraska
guard to a mobilization point.
While many companies have been
in readiness to move at a moments
notice for twenty-four hours, delay
in receiving from the War depart
ment definite orders as to a mobiliza-
ton point is holding back the state
department from taking definite ac-
ton.
Looks Very Warlike.
The state house has put on war
like appearance. Messenger boys
have been fitting up and down. hith-
er and thither carrying messages
from headquarters to be sent to the
different commands and bringing an
swers from those anxious to know
when there will be something doing.
Messages from several points almost
demand that they be allowed to form
companies for actual service, and
were it necessary to raise force of
twice the number called for it is
probable that it could be done in
three or four days.
Must Go Slowly.
However, the department faces the
proposition of going slow, mighty
slowly. Thanks to all economical leg
islature the department is practically
out of funds even to carry on the
preliminary arrangements for getting
ready. Companies have been ordered
to mobilize at their home stations,
and the state is practically at an ex-
pense of about $l,500 day from the
time orders were sent out.
Guard Crippled by Economy.
The last legislature was so bent on
making a record for economy that
the guard has been placed in a prac-
tically crippled condition during the
present biennium. Had the leaders
in that unhappy session had their
way the guard would today be prac-
tically of little account and it would
have cost thousands of dollars to
have put the state in position to
give heed to the call to arms.
Until the guard is mustered into
the United States service the state
will have to furnish the financial sup
port necessary to carry on the work,
and the question which is now troub-
ling Governor Morehead and General
Hall is where will it come from.
Must Use Credit.
OF course the government will
later on reimburse the state for its
expense in mobAizing the guard at
this time, but present. conditions in
dicate that guard headquarters will
have to get supplies on credit and
pay accordingly instead of going into
the market and getting them on the
cash basis, which in the amount
which will be needed would make
considerable difference to the state
in the period necessary to get the
guard up to the requirements.

Resolution to
Amend Army Draft
Bill Is DELAYED

Washington, D. C., June 2O.-Ad-
ministration leaders in congress de-
cided not to seek immediate action
on a resolution to provide for max
ing the National Guard eligible for
foreign service, fearing that such a
step at this time might be construed
by the Mexican government as a
warlike act. Enough regulars are
available now to deal with any emer-
gency across the Mexican border and
should it become necessary to send
guardsmen the resolution then could
be rushed through.
Reports to the War department
indicated the mobilization was pro-
ceeding satisfactory.

M0REHEAD IS FOR ASHLAND

Nebraska National guardsmen are
ready to move at moments notice
messages to that effect reaching Ad.
Jutant General Hall at Lincoln yes
terday from company commanders
throughout the state.
Dispatches from Lincoln were to
the effect that the military men be-
lieved that while the heavy rain OF
Monday night would encumter the
moving of troops somewhat, and also
the getting in readiness the state
camp. everything would be in ship
shape the proper time.
Governor Favors Ashland.
All indications point to the camp
being located at Ashland, although
efforts are being made by Lincoln
business men to have it located at
the State fair grounds in the capital
city. The government Authorities
tcve full power to decide in the mat
te-, but it is believed that they will
be influenced somewhat by the wishes
of Governor Morehead, who favors
the Ashland range because of the
equipment already installed. The To-
cation of the camp will probably be
decided upon today.
Up to late hour last nightno word
had been received from General Barry
at Chicago, upon whose decision rests
the choice of the mobilization camp
in Nebraska. General Barry, it is
thought, will decide upon the Ash
land range, as it is owned by the gov
ernment and is piped and ready for
the men at any time the decision to
move is made. Word was expected
during the night on this matter.
The state authorities Are moving
slowly because of the lack of funds,
as all purchases must be made on the
certainty of greatly delayed pay
ments.
Guardsmen's Pay Starts.
Omaha National guardsmen assem-
bled at the armory yesterday for roll
call, Their pay as guardsmen began
Tuesday morning and breakfast was
served at the arinory to,all those who
50 desired. As the facilities for feed
ing and housing the men is not very
good, provision of the regulations
provides that men who so elect may,
upon permission of their captains, live
and eat at home and receive an allow
ance Of IS cents day in place of the
armory food and beds.
Recruiting continued rapidly
through most of the night. Company
A is now recruited to a strength Of
about 100 men. Companies B, c and
D, which with Company A, make up
the First battalion of the Fourth regi-
ment, were recruited to between
eighty and ninety men each. Mon
day morning their strength averaged
about sixty-hve.
Most of the guardsmen are able to
pass the physical examination given
by DR.. George w. Pugsley. Sew
eral Of the recruits are veterans OF
the Sranish-American war and the
Philippine campaign. One man Al
years old, two years beyond the usual
limit, insisted that he be taken in
some capacity, and he was accepted
Professionally subject to further exam-
ination by federal medical inspectors.
A number of the new men have seen
service either in previous enlistments
in the guard or in the regular army
and will consequently be easy to
whip into shape for a campaign.
