1.2OO EXAMINED. ORPET JURY BOX
 FINALLY FILLED

.Waukegan, Ills, June 8.-With the jury finally completed after the ex- animation of more than 1,200 men in 16 venires, the actual trial of William H. Orpet, the university student charged with the murder last Feb ruary of his former sweetheart, Ma rian Lambert, was begun today. Da- vid R. Joslyn, assistant to the states attorney, was prepared when court opened, to outline the case of the pros ecution.
 It was understood the defense will reserve it's opening statement until after the evidence for the prosecution has all been presented.
 The states case will rest chiefly on circumstantia1 evidence and it was along a line of questioning on this point that many of the veniremen were excused from jury duty, the state asking each man if he would favor the. inf1iction of the death penalty on ctrcumstantial evidence only. Letters from Orpet to the girl will be intro duced as evidence by the state and are expected to form an important part of the prosecution's case.

y. A.. Jacobson, part owner of the

asserted that the principal reason for
the difficulty in fighting the flames lay
in the lack of water in the mains, and
it was more than q quarter of an hour
after the department arrived at the
fire before sufficient pressure was OBJ.

work even two streams.
-Four horses In the stables, were turn.

wagons and a large quantity of hay
were burned up. The cottage in which
Correa, his wife v aud little son were
living, together with the contents, con.
stituting the entire property Of the
family, was destroyed.
The first intimation Of the fire came

attention was attracted by the crack
ling Of flames on the roof Of the stables,
and she ran TO the harness room, where
the keeper, August Freitas, was at
work, to give the alarm.
The FIRE department responded
promptly, but arrived too late to save
the stables, but With axes and the in.
SUFFICIENT supply of water the 6remen

mons yesterday by Sir Edward Grey,
the foreign secretary, in response to
an attack upon the government by
Arthur Ponsonby, q liberal member
from q Scottish constituency. I
This member attacked the govern.
ment for having allowed diplomatic
etiquette to prevent the commencement
of possible peace negotiations, a charge
which the foreign secretary denied.
Sir Edward said that no peace sur
gestions had been offered in good
faith, the talk Of peace in Germany
being for it, effect upon the German
populace. The German government
knows, he said, that such terms as Il
dare l0ner now would not be accepted
nor considered by the Allies, while such
terms as the Allies might consider the
German government dare not offer for
fear Of the effect in Germany. laE
The Allies, he said, were bound by
common obligation and no one Of
the Allied Powers Is able TO put for
ward any. terms Of peace except by
mutual agreement Of all the Others. He
reiterated that the time is not now
ripe for any idea of peace and that
it is the duty Of the diplomats of Great
Britain TO maintain the solidarity of
the Allies until that stage of the war
has been reached when the prospects
of maintaining an enduring peace be
with the Allies.
When that time comes and Prussian
mihtarism is placed beyond the point
where IL may be future menace to
the world, the Allies will talk of peace
and no sooner.
