WOULD DROP CASE
Orpet Defense Claims States
Evidence Is Incompetent.
Motion to Dismiss Trial Is EX-
pected Today.

Waukegan, June 22.-The motion
which counsel for VIM. H. Orpet,
charged with the murder of Marion
mbert will make to have the case
taken from the jury will be based
largely on the alleged incompetency of
much of the states evidence. The mo-
ton will be made probably today. The
attorneys, James H. Wilkerson and
Ralph F. Potter will move that the fol-
lowing be striken from the record as
incompetent and immaterial in rela-
ton to the murder charge:
"Orpet's reported engagement to
Celeste Youker; the presence of cya-
nide of potassium in the ash heap;
foot prints in the snow; the testimony
of two telephone operators and the
circular spots on Marion's ceat. The
lawyers will argue that with this evil
dence removed the state has not prov
ed a case and ask the court to dis
charge the defendant. AS to the white
spots it will be charged that they got
there by a miracle or somebody put
them there"
This will be based on the fact that a
month elapsed before the coat was
sent to a chemist for examination. Ac-
cording to the defense the foot prints
objected to have not been identified as
those of Orpet and might have been
made by anybody prowling about the
woods; the telephone conversation. was
not identified as having taken place
between Orpet and Marion, and moth

to show that Orpet and Miss Youker

But No Overtime Is Allowed
Workers in Laundries.
Miss Lima Bresette Reports on
Conditions in State.
WORK LONG. TEDIOUS HOURS
Some Places Women Labor Ten
and Twelve Hours.
No Recreation, Rest or Lunch
Periods for Employees.

No overtime for extra hours, but
deductions for every minute lost, is
a rule in a number of Kansas laun-
dries. according to a statement today
by Miss Lima Bresette, secretary of
state welfare commission Miss Bre-
Settes statement is based on actual
investigation of conditions in a number
of towns of the state
Long, hard, tedious hours and small
pay are the rule in many laundries
according to the report. In some cases
women work ten or even twelve hours
in hot rooms-sometimes standing all
day on uncovered concrete floors
with no recreation, rest or luncheon
period. With it all the wages are low
an average of ten cents an hour for
ten-hour days being the general stan
dard in many places.
Here is what we found in one laun-
dry" said Miss Bresette. THE girls
were being paid 10 cents an hour, on
q ten-hour day. l found this meant
that the most they could receive was
81 day. If they worked less than
ten hours. they received less than ST.
only the 10 cents an hour straight
No Overtime.
But if necessity required that they
| work twelve hours, they were paid for
only ten More than that. If some
worked twelve hours, and the others
quit at the end of ten hours, these
were docked for the amount of over
time, without pay, done by the others.
For instance, if girl stopped at the
end of ten hours, and others worked
twelve, this girl was paid only 80 cents
for her ten hours work.
Inc sanitary conditions in general
have been greatly improved in the last
year or two. But there still are some
laundries without separate toilet ia
c1l1t1eS for the women workers. There
are several where there is Just one
dressing room for workers of both
sexes. Some have no dressing rooms at

CALL FOR RELIEF

where families ar left without pro-
vision for support. 1t is to care for
the wives and babies of the state SOL
diers that Governor Capper has urged
state wide action. A pension fund to
continue in effect as long as the
guardsmen are in active service, is the
program of relief worked out by the
state executive.
Knows What They Will Do.
TT is the repetition of stories of
want and need of women and children
that touches the heart in the hour
when a call is made for troops.1' said
the governor. ''I am sure that in
Kansas this call will not fall on deaf
ears. Kansas is just as patriotic and
responsive to the needs of her people
as any state in the nation. There
isn't question in my mind what the
business men of Topeka and other
Kansas towns will do or say. If they
could see the faces of some of the
women and children who are to be
left alone without means of support
that a husband or father may go to
the front, know just what Kansas
would do 1 am sure there will be a.
fund sufficient to- meet every need
F, when the case is fully presented"
: This morning a woman told her
story to the governor. She is the
mother of four children The eldest
child is six years old. The father and
husband is a member of the national
guards He is a day laborer and has
accumulated little of the worlds
goods. He was unable to leave means
for his family's support during his alb
sence on the Mexican border. The
woman called on the governor to
learn if the state had provided a fund
for her relief. She is physically un-
able to work and keep her little fam
lily together. Governor Capper assur-
ed the woman would not want.
Situation Is General.
| Other cases are being reported al
most hourly. The situation in Topeka
is the situation in Kansas City, Wich-
| ita, Lawrence and other towns where
companies of national guards are sta
! toned.
| Following a call for a meeting of
| Topeka business men. Governor Cap
per communicated with other towns
! by telephone and telegraph. All of
these towns will hold meetings. The
| business men, through direct dona-
tions or monthly allowances, will pro-
vide a fund sufficient to meet all de-
! mands. Committees will be appointed
| to investigate all cases. Each town
will meet its local situation. 1t is
probable that many wealthy men and
women in other towns will show their
patriotism through voluntary contri-
buttons.
The meeting in Topeka will be held
in the governors office at Q O'Clock

TODAY'S MARKET. REPORTS.


Chicago. June 2.-WHEAT- Better
weather southwest and the weakness of
cables today eased the wheat market here.
Advices were at hand that the harvest in
Oklahoma had made good progress and
the quality of the grain was much better
than last year. Bearish crop reports from
Nebraska were also received. Opening
prices, which ranged from 1hc to sc lower
with July at $1.02H to 81 .O3 and Septem-
Der at S1O5H to s.. .O5ss were followed by a
further decline and then by rally, which,
however. was not well main tanned.
Complaints of too much rain northwest
and of lateness of the spring crop tended
to cause reactions from the downturns: The
close was nervous at the same yester-
days finish to u lower with July S1.025s
and September $10515.
CORN-Sorn traders were afraid of the
unsettled weather and were not pressing
sales. After opening &c off to %@hc
higher, the market sagged little and later
scored a moderate general advance
Later the market averaged lower with
wheat. The close was steady at a shade
to * net decline
OATS-Offerings Of oats were notably
scarce, especially in the December option,
prices hardened accordingly.
PROVISIONS-Proyisie lacked support.
