POISON IN SUSPECTS HOME
Quantity Found in Basement of Col
Iegeman Accused of Murder
of Sweetheart.

Chicago, Feb. 15.-Discovery of a
quantity of poison in the basement of
the home of Will H. Orpet, collegian
accused of the murder of his former
sweetheart, Marian Frances Lambert,
and the announcement by Lake county
officials that other arrests were posi-
bic, were developments of the day in
the inquiry into the death of Miss
Lambert
The poison was found by States
Attorney Dady and Chief of Police
MacQuire, and according to the
states attorney it was identical with
that which is believed to have ended
the life of the Lake Forest high school
girl. ssp
Word came from Madison that a
drug clerk had admitted selling a bot
tie of medicine to Orpet Tuesday
morning before the young man made
his secret trip to Lake Forest to meet
the girl in the lonely woods, where
her body was found.

GERMANS ADVANCE IN ALSACE
Force Back French After TWo-Days'
BattIe-Meet Disaster in Ar
tots, Says Paris.

London, Feb. 15.-With an offensive
already under way in Champagne and
Artois the Germans have begun a
third aggressive movement of large
proportions in upper Alsace.
Here, according to the Paris COM
munique, the French were forced to
give way when the trenches they
had occupied east of Seppois were
fevelled by the intensity of the Ger
man artillery fire. The fighting for
the position had been in progress for
two days.
The Berlin report gives the width Of
the conquered section as 400 yards.
The artillery battle continues with
out cessation.
In Artois the German movement
met disaster. The French swept over
the German works, capturing a sec
ton Of trench, and later a German
counter attack was broken up by the
French artillery fire. One German
company was surrounded and decimat-
ed.
Official dispatches from both CAPT
tails indicated heavy slaughter in the
Champagne and the Artois. The nib
bling" of the past two weeks is be-
lieved to have resulted in casualties Of
between $4,000 and 100000.

U. s. TO AWAIT DEVELOPMENTS
HAS REACHED NO DECISION IN
WAR ON LINERS.
Wilson Reported in Perfect Accord
With Secretary Lansing-Many
Difficult Problems Presented.

Washington Feb. 15.-The United
States probably will leave to future de-
yelopments whether any action will
be taken in response to the announce
ment from the Teutonic allies that
armed merchantmen beginning March
1. will be subject to submarine attack
without warning.
President Wilson, 1t has become
known in high official circles is in per-
feet accord with Secretary Of State
Lansing as to the policy to be pursued
regarding the Teutonic decree that all
armed merchantmen, passenger as
well as freight, will be torpeoded with
out warning. The President, his close
advisers say, considers the issues
which may arise through carrying out
of the new Teutonic submarine policy.

administration will take in the event
of Americans being on board torpedoed
ships however, is said to be decided.
Difficult Problems Presented.
Whether a warning issued to Ameri.
can citizens to stay off armed mer-
chantmen would relieve the central
powers of liability for damages is one
of the most difficult problems present
ed. No conclusion on this point has
been reached.
The state department has been adj
vised that photographs of the British
orders to ship captains to ram or
rum when they meet submarines,
are on the way from Germany.
After perusal OF the German mott
fcation, state department officials said
Germany draws no distinction between
passenger and freight vessels. The
name merchantmen includes both
classes of ships.
While state department officials
were studying the German pronuncia-
mento the text of Austria's decree ar
rived and will be sent to the President
with the one from Berlin.

POLICE SEARCH FOR FRIEND OF
CHEF, SOUGHT FOR ATTEMPT
TO POISON ARcHBISHOP's
GUESTS.
WIDOW OF SLAYER OF KING
MOVED TO ST. PAUL LATELY
Charge of Conspiracy to Commit
Murder Placed Against AIIegrini,
Friend of Missing Chef-Letter
Found Mentions Fund Collect
ed for Mrs. Bresci.

Chicago, Feb. 15.-Captain Nicholas
directing the search for Jean Crones,
the missing assistant chef, who is sus-
pected of having poisoned the soup
served at banquet to Archbishop
MundeIein here last Thursday, said
that the search has developed the ex-
istence of gang Of is Anarchists
whose grudge lay principally against
the church and churchmen. Captain
Hunt said that he had the names of
most of the members and that detec-
tives have been instructed to search
for them.
Police of the Twin Cities have be-
gun a widespread search of both cit
les for Mrs. Sophie Bresci, friend
and anarchistic associate of Jean
Crones, the Chicago chef who is sus-
pected of an attempt to poison 100
guests at the reception to Archbishop
Mundelein in Chicago last Thursday.
1t is thought that the missing chef
may have taken refuge with Mrs.
Bresci, who is known to have moved
to st. Paul year ago.
Husband Killed italian King.
Mrs. Bresci is the widow of Gastona
Bresci, who assassinated King Hum
bert OF Italy in 1900 and died in
prison. John Faltico, detective of
Italian extraction on the Minneapolis
police force, conducted the inquiry
In the Italian colony here, and Frank
James, an Italian resident in st. Paul,
did likewise there. The name is not
listed in the directories of either
city.
A charge Of conspiracy to commit
murder was placed against John Allie
GRIM, a friend of the missing chef,
to evade service of writ of habeas
corpus, Chicago reports say. In his
room after his arrest was found a let
ter mentioning a fund that had been
collected for Mrs. Bresci year ago.
Bore Drawing of Bomb.
One of the letters seized at Allie
grini's lodgings was unsigned and
bore a crude drawing of a bomb.

ter, then it is good enough to send

of IA of his companions, had been
picked up off the coast of Syria. She

The British cruiser Arethusa, which
has figured in some of the most thrill
ing English naval exploits of the war,
has struck a mine off the east coast.
The admiralty announced that it is
feared she is a total wreck. Ten of
her crew were lost.
The Arethusa, light cruiser, built
in October, 1913, had several encount-
ers with German torpedo boats and
other warships early in the war and
became known as the daredevil of the
English feet. Her exploits inspired
several English poets to create ryhmes
in her honor and the Arethusa's crew
were popular heroes in England.
The Arethusa displaced only $500
tons and as armament mounted only
two six-inch and six four-inch guns.
She carried also four torpedo tubes.
Her length was $50 feet.

spectively, were burned to death, and
their mother, Mrs. Gust Mackyol, was

rious damage is reported to have been
done by a mysterious fire in the NUM-
tons factory of the General Electric

ing forces, there was no call for the To-

aide of "Favorite Son States
Conventions and Primaries
Coming Fast in Spring.

Omaha, Neb., Feb. ia political
survey of the United States from a
Republican viewpoint has been com
pleted by Victor RoseWater, editor Of
the Omaha Bee and former chairman
of the Republican national committee.
The survey is made through sources
of information in close personal touch
with Mr. Rosewater and Republican
leaders in the different states.
The questions answered are:
How far the campaign for the Re
publican nomination for president de-
veloped?
What is the present situation in the
different states with reference to pres
idential preference?
TO what extent have delegates al
ready been selected and what is the
prospect for factional fights or harm
ony agreements?
What steps have been taken for call
ing conventions or for holding direct
primaries by which delegates are to
be chosen?
Survey Covers Thirty States.
This survey, which covers more than
80 states, including all but four or five
of the more important ones, confirms
the general impression that the under
current for Hughes as the candidate
to unite all elements is strong every
where, and that aside from this Re
publican sentiment is not yet crystal
lied noticeably anywhere outside Of
the ''favorite son states
Owing to new legislation, the ma
chinery of selecting delegates is late
in starting, only two districts-one in
Missouri and one in Oklahoma-hav-
ing acted. Conventions and primaries,
however, will come fast in the months
of March and April, but the last dele
gates, those from West Virginia, will
not be chosen until the day before the
convention.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The sum of

appropriation bill. The report comes
from an authoritative source following
hearings at which it was declared that
$4,000 men might enlist for a months
