Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, July Eight complete motor truck companies. each to consist of thirty three machines, are to be added to the military equip ment of Brigadier General James Par ker, commanding the Brownsville dis trict according to announcement made at army headquarters here today. With these machines, it was said, a mobile force of between 1000 and 5000 men with all necessary equipment for effective work at considerable distance from supply bases, can be handled.
 It was pointed out that in operating against an enemy depending on line of railroad for sustenance, the motor companies would be markedly effec tive, as with their use extensive flank movements can be made. It is also anticipated by officers that the motor companies will be used in connection with possible cavalry expeditions.
 Plans now are to use twenty eight trucks in each company to carry troops, the remaining five to carry gasoline and supplies When the trucks will arrive or where they are coming from was not divulged.

 "A few days before Marion died was talking with her in the wash room at school and mentioned what my mother had said. We were looking out of the window at the time, and we noticed a poor, crippled old woman hobbling along.'
 What did Marion say?" asked At torney Potter.
 She said, Is that so?' Then she said. Do you know what I think? Sometimes I think life isn't worth liv- ing"
 On cross examination, Attorney Jos lyn repeatedly asked the witness if Marion had not referred by this re- mark to the old woman and to have re- marked that Life isn't worth living when you're old and decrepit as that
 The lawyer asked if she had not in the course of the investigation of the case, given her mother that version of the story, and if she had not heard her mother repeat that version to him (Mr. Joslyn), to all of which the wit ness entered denials. She denied alsc that MT. Carlin had informed her the last part of the quotation was unnec- essary to repeat,

WAUKEGAN, III, July 1.-The ap- parently powerful evidence of the three white spots alleged to have been left on the overcoat of Marion Lambert by cyanide of potassium in solution was the subject of attack at the trial of William H. Orpet. college student charged with her murder. today.
 Marion Lambert, a high school girl who had been Orpets sweetheart, died of cyanide of potassium poisoning in Helms woods, February 9. Her body was recovered the next morning and an inquest held that night. Two mem bers of the coroners jury, Alexander Allen and George l.. Blanchard, testi- fled with regard to the coat today. They impeached to an extent the tes
 timony of Fred l. Wenban, the under taker who cared for Marion's body.
 Wenban testified that at about 1 D. m. on February 10, the three white spots were observed by him, although he had not noticed them in the fore noon. Chemists testified that the spots were left by a solution of potassium cyanide, and that In thlS form the spots would not appear until after evaporation of the liquid.
 Allen and Blanchard testified that at & o'clock that night, as jurors, they examined the coat and there were nc spots on it. The coat was not sent tc the chemists for examination until sev- eral weeks after the inquest.
 H. J. Carlin, investigator for the de- fense, and Miss Dorothy Mason, a

 were witnesses today, and Irwin N Glow, a 16-year- -old high school fresh man to whom Marion occasionally

FL PASO. July 1.-Battery 5, New Jersey national guards, which reached here tonight, is to entrain tomorrow for Douglas according to a report cur rent here. It was pointed out that while the troops now on station in Douglas are ample in any eventuality to protect the town and it's environs, the San Bernardino valley, lying be- tween Douglas and the Arizona New Mexico line is rich in forage horses and cattle and is practically unprotect- cd from possible bandit forays from the Mexican side. The guardsmen, it was said, are to relieve cavalry al Douglas, who will be ordered to the valley Militia authorities here de- clined to discuss the report because of the censorship upon news of troop movements.

motor cars and $5,OOO,oOO for ordnance stores.
 We expect these figures will stagger some members of congress" said Sen ator Chamberlain, chairman of the committee, but we are going to put the responsibility for adequate mili- tary preparedness squarely upon con- gress. The national guard, as has been demonstrated in the last few days, needs equipment. We are going to show congress in these figures what must be appropriated to put it in the proper shape"
 In the house, the appropriations committee faced another angle of the Mexican trouble. Secretary Lansing called for an additional s300,000 to get Americans cut of Mexico.
 "The conditions are such at the pres ent time" the secretary said in a mem orandum dated June 2S, which accom- panied the estimate, that in my opin-
 ion it is highly desirable that every American citizen should leave Mexico at the earliest practicable moment. The appropriation made heretofore by con- gress fer assisting Americans in leav- i ing Mexico is exhausted, and I urge that the amount above mentioned be expedited as much as possible ! From Secretary Baker came hurry ! estimates of s1,643, 800 to meet emer- l gencies on the border. The money is reeded to buy equipment for the na-
 tional guard, ranging from machine
 guns to engineer implements. An item
 of s45O,O00 is for the purchase of 25C
 machine guns which were destined foI
 use on European battle fields but have l been diverted to American uses A 1 supply of Illuminating grenades also is 1 included, for use in night fighting.
