WILSON AND VAN DYKE
 HOLD CONFERENCE
Discuss Interference With American Trade and
 Mails By Allies.

Washingon, Feb. 14.-Interference with American trade and mails by the entente allies was discussed today at a conference between President Will son and Henry. Van Dyke, American minister at The Hague. Information brought by pr. Van Dyke is to be used by the United States in fram- ing the note to Great Britain on con- traband. Dr. Van Dyke said embargoes against re-portation have been placed by the Netherlands on practically all articles on the contra band and copdi- tional contraband list. Increased American trade with European neu- trals was due largely, he thought, to- the shutting off of other sources of supply.
 pr. Van Dyke took the position that American trade with Europe was four ishing in spite of the obstacles thrown in it's way.
 A formal report on the removal of mail by Great Britain from the steam CT Rotterdam has been made 10 the state department by pr. Van Dyke, who came home on the ship.
 pr. Van Dyke vii remain in this country until March 5.

FUTURE ACTS MAY
 DECIDE U. s. STAND
Regarding TeItonic Submarine Attack Without Warming on Armed NJer-
 chantmen After March f

Washington, Feb. 1.-The United States probably will leave to future de- Velopments whether any action will be taken in response to the announcement from the Teutonic allies that armed merchantmen beginning March 1. will be subjected to submarine attack without warning
 Austria's formal notification of her intention to sink without warning armed merchant ships after March 1 was received today by the state depart ment. It is substantially the same as that received from Germany.
 Secretary Lansing said no decision had been reached on the attitude of the United States. He had read the German memorandum carefully, he said, and found it agreed with the pub lished description contained in recent news despatches from Berlin.

POULTRY TRUST KNEW
 BAFF WAS TO BE SLAIN
According to Information in Letter Received by Dis
 trict Attorney Swann.

New York Feb. 14.-The "Poultry Trust knew months in advance that 1 Barnet Baff, an independent dealer
 who was murdered by gunmen in 1914, was doomed to die, according l to information which, contained in a 1 letter received by District Attorney 1 Swann today, the prosecutor is en- 1 deavoring to confirm. The grand jury vas prepared today to listen to evidence, but MT. Swann decided to defer until next week his presenta- ton of the case.
 Ninety per cent. of the dealers in west side market knew there was plot against Baffs life, according to the letter which reached MT. Swann, and so-called poultry club, made up of many of these dealers, planned the murder the letter charg- ed. Baff was one of their bitterest competitors and had fought the trust" by quoting lower prices. Scores of other letters were received. telling of the existence of the "Poul- try club
 About 200 men, including many dealers, are suspected of havinc, contributed, in sums of $5 to $50 Id the fund which was paid to Baff's murderers. Many of these contribu tions were made innocently, District Attorney Swann believes, the givers understanding that the money was being raised for a legal fight against Baff.
 The prosecutor anticipated that an expected indictment will accuse at least twenty men, including six to be charged with murder. ''We are closing in on the entire gang" MT. Swann said today.
 District Attorney Swann believes be has enough evidence to send, to the electric chair four men in addi- ton to some of the gunmen who actually did the murder. These men are said to have had the distribu- tion of the murder fund The dis trict attorney said that if it is proved that the twelve members of the steer ing committee know all the steps taken, in the murder conspiracy each of them would be in the same legal position as was Becker in the Rosen- thai case.
 Many of the poultry dealers who assert that they contributed innocent ly to the fund used to finance Baff's murder have voluntarily given in- formation to the district attorney. MT. Swann today issued an appeal to the other merchants who contributed tc the fund to give him the names of the members of the murder com- mittee. Much of the evidence thus ,, far obtained by the district attorney was given by Frank Ferrara, who says he was chauffeur of the auto mobile in which the gunmen went to kill Baff and in which they escaped after the crime

DEAD GIRLS PARENTS
 APPEAL FOR STUDENT
Ask District Attorney to Re- lease Orpet Who Is Held
 for Murder.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-The parents of Marion Lambert, the Lake Forest High school girl found dead in the woods near the suburb last Thursday have appealed to states attorney Ralph Dady of Lake County to re- sity of Wisconsin student held at Waukegan on a charge of murder The Lamberts told the states at torney they had doubt of the guilt of Orpet and they had no desire to be vindictive toward the young man.
 Although the nature of the poison which caused the girls death has been determined by partial analysis of the stomach the officers are at a loss to account for the container. l Sheriff Griffin of Lake County said l his men had searched every section 1 of the woods where the body was found and has visited every drug store in Madison 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.
 In the sixty letters which passed between the girl and Orpet--thirty- five written by him and twenty-five by her-the romance of the two has been traced from it's inception to the time of the tragedy. The missives show, the officers say, that alarm was felt about the girls condition as early as last September, but the crisis passed and their fears were allayed until recently
 The inquest on the body of Miss Lam bert, it is expected, will be re- stunned on Wednesday. By that time, it is believed, the analysis of the organs will have been completed.

A despatch from Athens on Feb.

The Austrian official statement an nounced that Feb. g Austro- Hun earian troops occupied Tirana, which lies about 20 miles northwest of FL bassan. The present announcement that the Bulgarians have occupied Fieri, which is about 37 miles south west of Elbassan, may indicate that the Austrians and Bulgarians have started separate campaigns from that point, the former advancing on Durazzo, while the Bulgarians are aiming at Avlona, which is occupied in force by Italian troops. The Aus trian officially statement published on Feb. 12 said that Italian forces had tattacked the positions taken by the Austrians west of Tirana but that their attacks had failed.

MAY SOON ARREST
 POISONER OF SOUP
Assistant Chef of University Club of Chicago Suspected Of Act At
 Dinner to Archbishop.

Chicago, Feb. 14.-First deputy Supt. of Police Hermann Schuettler said today that he expected the arrest within d short time of Jean CroneS, assistant chef at the University Club who is suspected of putting poison in the soup served at a dinner given oil Thursday night to archbishop Nun delein. Schuettler and a force of one hundred mounted pfficers detective es and uniformed policemen were at a reception given last night to the arch bishop at the Auditorium theater, De tectives guarded the entrances to watch for notorious radicals whose faces are known to the officers; others were scattered about among the audience and several were near the rrelate at all times. Schuettler said no infor- nation of any planned outbreak had been received but he was merely pro- viding for possibilities.
 Empty poison bottles and wrappers found in the kitchen of the UniVcr- sity Club verified by a quantitative analysis of the soup served at the banquet indicate that the alleged poi sonor made scientific calculations, ac- cording to the authorities to kill every guest at the banquet. The club officials said it was understood covers were to be laid for 200 guests but at the last moment invitations were issued for 100 more Tn all 296 were present. That diluted the poison dose to about three -fifths of the min imum fatal dose. To this the officers attribute from serious illness ard those taken sick at the banquet.
