ORPET LOVE LETTERS
TO BE READ TO JURY
Show Relations with Marion
Lambert-BlOW to Defence.

Waukegan, H., June 21.-The jury
which is to decide whether William II.
0rpet, the University Of Wisconsin stu
dent. murdered Marion Lambert on
February 9, as charged. will hear the
letters which Orpet wrote 10 her in a
period of nearly a year.
This important ruling was made to-
day by Judge Donnelly. The letters,
which will be read tomorrow, are di-
vided into two series. those written
before the school vacation Of 1915 and
those written afterward up to Febru-
airy. The earlier letters dealt in part
with the relations between the two
and were ardent IN tone. The later
ones were cooler and spoke of Marion's
supposed condition.
The defence objected 10 the admis-
sion of the earlier letters as having
nc bearing on Marion's death. Judge
Donnelly said that they we're so preju-
dicial TO Orpet, as plainly indicating Sc.
duction, that it would be dangerous 10
submit them to the jury.

w. GUCGENHEIM SCORES
POINT IN $lO,OO0,000 SUIT
Letter Shows Tests of Gillian
Mine Preceded Waiver.

Mineola, Long Island, June 21.-Will-
lam Guggenheim to-day, in his suit
against his five brothers to recover
S1O,O0O,OOO profits from copper hold
ings in Chilli, succeeded in getting
letter read into the record by his coun-
sci, Stephen c. Baldwin, in which
Daniel Guggenheim admitted that tests
were being made at the Chuquicanta
mine, the property TO which the broth
ers declare William waived his rights.
The matter at issue is defining the
time at which the brothers knew that
the mine was a good proposition.
Samuel Untermyer, in his opening for
the defendants, claimed that the broth
ers did not know until after they had
started the mine what its real value
was, while William claims that the
brothers had information from one OF
their experts, Pope Yeatman, that the
property was valuable, and that then he
was induced TO sign off and release his
rights by fraud.
Letters purported to show that AL
bert C. Burrage, who had investigated
the Gillian mine, had expended $4,000
in the examination, which sum had
been paid back to him, in addition TO
large amount of stock in the company.
Mr.. Burrage's contract with the broth
ers' firm was made prior to the signing
of the waiver from William, although
the final agreement was not made until
later.

Van Cortlandt Park Now
Held by Troopers
and Batteries.
MEN DIG TRENCHES
DURING THE RAIN
Four Hundred and Fifty Horses
from the West Will BE Added
to Equipment To-day.

Van Cortlandt Park yesterday ceased
TO be the city's peaceful playground, and
in few hours time became military
reservation, peopled with hundreds OF
soldiers earnestly engaged in final
nreparations for war. On the broad
meadows a city Of brown tents arose;
over fields where polo ponies are ac-
customed to gallop steaming draft
horses hauled heavy pieces Of artillery
and sharp bugle calls continually rang
out through the rain.
Three batteries Of the 1st Field Artil-
lery were encamped before noon. Bat
teries f. and F have been in the park
for two DAYS. Battery d entered camp
Tuesday, but il was not until yesterday
that it set up its camp IN regular order'
Between the long lines Of tents, eacn
one shetering fourteen men, their guns
and horses are lined up, and at the END
of each "strest" is the cook shack for
each group. r..
When the rain set in yesterday after,
noon the men all donned slickers and
set to work digging trenches around
their tents to drain, the water OIL.
The cook tents, with their grllls over
the fire in a hole dug in the ground
were the general rendezvous. Here
camp life was discussed and news OF
various batteries exchanged. Most OF
the men seemed happy at the prospect
of service. but one Of them remarked
that the man who said that every day
in the army was like Sunday on the
farm" didn't know what he was talking
about.
Late in the afternoon Battery c Of
the Cd Field Artillery arrived from the
armory in Brooklyn. The guns and
horses we're in charge of fifty men
under the command of Captain A. D.
Hamilton.
! reached the park about o'clock. and
went into camp at once. The other
troops OF the squadron are quar-.
tered at the armory, and probably VIII
not 20 into camp until Friday or Satur-
day. To-day it is expected that 40O
horses. recently shipped from western
noints' will be turned over to the regi-
ment.
Crowds of people. among them many
motion picture photographers, watched
the process of erecting the camp.
The Van Cortlandt camp is merely
temporary until orders are received TO
proceed to Beekman. The officers IN
charge are Lieutenant Colonel Merritt
II. Smith. Of the 1st Field Artillery;
Captain Walter c. Mcclure, Battery b:

Martin Ford began recruiting. Eighty
nine men had been added to the roster
before the day was out
"We're hoping for something to turn
up any minute" said Colonel Byrne,
commanding the regiment. "Ive posted
a bulletin telling the men to hold
themselves in readiness for marching
orders. They'll be a sorry lot, I'm
afraid, if the orders don't come"
The 9th has infantry training and
started for the front as infantry in
1898 Although they were converted
into coast defence command eight
years ago, its men still consider them
selves as mobile an organization as
any infantry regiment.
I'VE know all the other infantry reg
iments know, and then some more about
big guns that they don't know" grum-
bled a big sergeant. IF they call US
out we can fight just as well with our
rifles as any other outfit in the SER
vice, leaving the big guns behind"
The Westchester Cavalry Troop is
being organized by Herbert l.. Van
Wyck, who was assistant secretary of
the citizens preparedness parade. Mr.
Van Wyck plans 10 offer the troop TO
the War Department as part of the
Federal reserve. Preference is to be
given TO Plattsburg men, former service
men and guardsmen.

Guardsmen holding life insurance
will find themselves in something of a
tangle if ordered over the border. Sew
eral companies announced yesterday
that the risks will be invaded un-
less extra premiums are paid. The
New York Life announced limit Of
$4,000 on policies issued TO those who
may be exposed TO fire, either as SOL
diers or Red Cross workers.
Juan T. Burns, in charge of the
Mexican de facto governments con-
sulate general in the Equitable Build
ing. would not admit that any wsrlike
conditions prevail along the border.
However, he exhibited a telegram
which he said he had received from the
Congresa Feminista, an organization of
patriotic Mexican women in the Yucca

directed at a courier who had just pre-
scented 10 them a request that they re-
tire.
His statement is as follows;
Immediately upon learning OF the
presence Of the American troops IN the
vicinity Of Carrizal. General Felix
Gomez dispatched a messenger with
request that the American commander
withdraw his camp. When the Ameri-
can troops remained motionless, he
sent a second dispatch bearer, VINO was
fired upon by the American troops after
he had delivered his message The
Americans Immediately moved forward
and attacked General Gomez's COM
mand.
"All the prisoners admitted that the
blame should be put on the American
commander for having ordered the
attack. The prisoners were sent to
chihuahua City with The customary
protection
General Gonzales announced that
the body Of General Gomez had been
taken 20 Chihuahua City for burial,
and that the wounded Mexican sol
diers had also been sent TO the state
capital.
The Carranza garrison. at Casas
Grandes, has been evacuated, and the
Mexican troops from that garrison are
marching toward MADEIRA to get away
from the United States troops sta
toned near Casas Grandes. This re-
port was received from Casas Grandes
by railroad men over the Mexico
Northern Railroad line.
Reports coming in tonight indicate
that the American forces in Mexico
have advanced toward Chihuahua City
and 10 the south from Namiquipa, fol-
lowing attacks on American scouts by
Mexcans at several points.
Consul Garcia announced over the
telephone from Juarez late tonight
that he had received official confirma
ton Of the fact that the American
command engaged was part OF the
10th Cavalry, negro regiment. He
had no details, however, as to the
number of Americans or MeXicans en-
gagged, he said.

Carranza troops at Carrizal, according
to reports from the field to-day.
Heavy forces. ready for immediate
action. are being concentrated at Manu-
ouipa. 200 miles south of the border,
and at Colonia Dublsn, 12O miles south.
Dispatches also said that American
scouting patrols have penetrated the
Santa Clara canyon, about thirty-hve
miles directly east Of Namiquipa.
General Funston said tonight no or
ders would be issued to General Perish
ing or to General Bell until he had re
ceived an official report from General
Pershing.
It was admitted at army headquar-
tiers that General Funston's determi-
nation not TO send any special orders
TO General Pershing or General Bell
did not mean that swift punitive ac-
ton would not be undertaken.
Already General Pershing may have
taken steps to even the score, many
officers believe, and. if he has not al
ready sent a heavy force toward Anu
mazda, he will do so on receipt Of the
news.
