Mariana, Feb. 1.-THE better
farming campaign In Jackson county
closed with two meetings here today.
It was made an occasion to be rennem-
bered by the Mariana citizens and
was probably the first farmers meet
ing ever held in the state was opened
with music by brass band.
The Mariana and BIounstown
railroad ran special excursions from
points on its line and Calhoun county
sent large delegations of It's progress
sive citizens, all eager for the COS
pei Of progressive methods of farm
ing.
The L. & N. specialists and visi-
tors were met at the station by l..
D. Smith, the general chairman for
the day, escorted through the streets
of the city.
J. ID. Smith presided at the after
noon meeting and before introducing
the speakers outlined the purpose Of
the campaign the railroad company
was carrying on and explained the
hope that some definite action could
be taken looking to the development
took all the profit out of the cattle
ticks out of the state.
He then presented Messrs. Neil
roy and Holroyd, who spoke for two
hours on the methods of farming
necessary to prevent the boil weevil
from getting the lions share of the
crop, and showed how the fever tick
took all the profit out Of the cattle
business.
Much interest was manifested in
the addresses. Nearly five hundred
attended the meeting at the court
house and practically all of them
were farmers.
Another good meeting was held at
night and the concensus of opinion is
that the four meetings in Jackson
county, which were attended by near
ly eleven hundred farmers have been
been productive of splendid results.
Meetings will be held at Crestview,
Laurel Hill and Garden City on Mon
day, and Tuesday the campaign will
begin in Escambia county.

spect," continued Mr.. Dobson, sand
Pensacola will not have any cause to
regret any action the navy depart
ment or congress may take in this
matter. The other gulf ports, as
well as Guantanamo are exciting
themselves unnecessarily over the
question of the craving dock.
Mr.. Dobson was given a very cor
dial reception by Secretary Of the
Navy Daniels and Admiral Benson,
the secretary's chief aid and says
that Senators Fletcher and Bryan are
cognizant of all that Is transpiring
and are in close touch with those who
are working for a larger navy and
more docks.
Regarding the aviation station Mr..
Dobson said that il viii be DEVELOPED

plans to greatly develop this impor-
tant branch Of the service. A high

that one of the walls viii be levelled

The department has planned to do
considerable construction work at the

this direction.

BY AssocIArEp PRESS.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Germany's
formal note to the United States an
nouncing its intention to treat armed
merchantmen of the entente as war
ships after Feb. 29. reached the state
department today. The policy of the
United States in regard to this decla-
ration probably will be defined next
week after similar note from Aus
tria arrives.
Indications here are that officials
believe the position of Germany is
we'll founded and the outgrowth of
the recent American note addressed
to the entente suggesting that mer-
chantmen be disarmed.
A high official today declared it was
not fair to say at this time that the
views of the United States ON armed
merchant vessels were absolutely in
accord with the views of Germany
and Austria Officials viii maize no
decision until the official texts have
been received from Berlin and Vienna.
Until they arrive state department
officials viii reserve comment. There
are strong indications, however, that
various high officials consider the po-
sition of the Central powers well
founded in view of the changed con-
ditions of sea warfare.
Diplomatic representatives of the
entente allies have made oral repre-
sensations to Secretary Lansing re-
garding the American memorandum
TO their governments suggesting the
disarming of merchant ships and that
armed merchantmen entering Ameri-
can ports might be regarded as war
ships.
1t is believed Secretary Lansing
was informed that the entente gov
ernments were unwilling to adopt the
suggestion.

In none Of the places where the
sales of liquor were alleged to have

ers in the city code. Chief Sanders
was not in position last night to talk
of the arrests. In fact it was gem
orally understood at an early hour
this morning that there were other
possible arrests before nightfall, and
that was thought to have been the
reason he was not giving out any
statement at length. II have got evil

Chicago, Feb. 12.--Solemn denial
was made today by Will H. orphet,
student at the University of Wiscon-
sin, that he saw Marion Lambert take
the poison which ended her life in
the woods near her home in Lake For
est, where her half frozen body was
found Thursday morning. He was
later jailed, formally charged with
murder.
eff / had only looked back, do you
think / would have left her lie there 2"
he said pointing to the dark woods
where the body was found. He
reached Lake Forest today in custody
of detectives and States Attorney r.
J. Dady of Lake county.
Part of the mystery which sur
rounded the death of Miss Lambert,
an eighteen-year-old pupil of the
Deerfe1d township high school, was
solved when it was discovered that
she died of poison and that she was
a pure girl. Orphet, after long ques-
tioning, admitted he had met the girl
in the lonely woods on secret tryst,
and that he had told her that he in
tended TO marry another.
Orphet was taken to the woods this
forenoon accompanied by officers and
walked over the route which he said
he and Marion Lambert followed last
Wednesday.
Orphet pointed out the spot where,
he said he quarreled with the girl
when he told her of his engagement
to another. At the trees beneath
which the girls body was found the
party halted and searched for a bot
tie which might have held the poison.
but none was found. Orphet joined
in the search.
Orphet is reported to have given
the following account of his tryst
with the girl:
'T got to Lake Forest Tuesday
night and failed to make an appoint
ment with Marion for that evening,
so I made one for the next morning.
We had our talk in the woods and /
then told her was figuring on mar
rying another girl. told her plainly
it was all off between us. Then we
arranged that / should leave the
woods first and take a car to Chi
cago where could get a train for
Madison. She said she would follow
me in few minutes after had time
to catch my car and get out Of her
way"
Orphet and Miss Lambert were said
by friends of the young woman TO
have been frequently in each others
company for several years.
According to the statement Of off,
GERS, Orphet said he met Miss Lam
bert in the woods Wednesday morn
ing by appointment. He said she
pleaded with him for two hours to
renew his friendship with her. He
said he declined. Then, according to
the officers, Orphet said he left her
and as he did she swallowed the
poison which caused her death.
Orphet said he wrote the young wo-
man a letter, making an appointment
and telling her. that he did not wish
10 continue their friendship. Later
he wrote another letter to be deliv-
cred at her home in Lake Forest after
the finding Of the body. -
Orphet's confession came at the end
of a fve-hour cross examination at
