Parents of Marian Lambert,
Dead of Poisoning, Ask Re-
lease of Former Lover.

CHICAGO, February 1.-THE par
ents Of Marian Lambert, the Lake For
est High School girl found dead in the
have appealed to States Attorney
Ralph Dady Of Lake county to release
William H. Orpet, the University Of
Wisconsin student held at Waukegan
on a charge Of murder. The Lamberts
told the states attorney they had
doubt Of the guilt Of young orpet, and
they had no desire to be vindictive
toward the young man.
States Attorney Dady was willing to
admit today that unless he can prove
that Orpet gave his former sweetheart
poison he cannot convict the student Of
murder.
Contaiuer Not Found.
Although the nature of the poison
which caused the girls death has been
determined by a partial analysis Of the
stomach, the officers are at loss to
account for the container. Sheriff
Griffin of Lake county said his men
had searched every section of the
had visited every drug store in Madi-
son and in towns along the lake shore
from waukegan to Evanston. Pictures
Of Orpet were shown, but no evidence
was found that he had purchased
poison.

tween the girl and Orpet-thirty five
written by him and twenty-hve writ
ten by her-the romance Of the two has
been traced from it's inception to the
time of the tragedy. The missives

felt about the girls condition as early

II was the boast Of the Teutons that they would
launch against Nerdun such offensive that would
be impossible for France to resist it,
Thousands of and hundreds of thousands of
troops were brought into play in effort smash

There was heartless sacrifice OF men and prodi-

PROOF POSITIVE
(From the Dover Republican,

The Democratic press throughout
the State has had much to say against
the candidacy of Hon. Henry A. du-
Pont for the nomination to succeed
himself as United States Senator from
Delaware, claiming that he was I'm
active"
The Democratic press is ignorant Of
the true facts in reference to the
standing of Mr.. dupont as a United
States Senator, or it is shamefully ly-
ing in an effort to deceive the voters
of our little commonwealth.
At Washington Mr.. DUPONT is class
ed the other way from what the
Democratic press would have him ap-
pear, and his work proves him to be
positively antithetic to inactive"
He is known among his fellow mem-
bers of Congress, both Republican and
Democratic, as a big man and a
worker, and in no wise is he, nor is
he regarded as, a sinecure.
1t is true that Mr.. DUPONT is not an
orator. nor is it necessary for him
to be one to prove his value as a
member Of the law-making body OF
our country. MI DUPONT is quiet and
unassuming, but the recognition that
he is a wise, intelligent, learned man
is general at Washington, and his
views and advice are sought by the
recognized big men Of Congress when
serious or important affairs Of the
country are pending.
It is conceded that he has rendered
valuable aid to the military commit
tee. Of which body he is a member
and that his work in general as a
member Of Congress is such that il
reflects credits upon himself and
upon the constituency he represents.
An incident occurred last week
which will help to bear out our con.
tention that, while not a hot air artist
or a self appointed blower of his OWL
horn, he is worker: Edwin Hal
DOwnes, a young Democrat of Dover
had been trying for a long time tC
obtain an appointment to the Annap
