Washington, July 11.-GeneraI Car

difficulties need not await the return
Of Secretary Lansing from his vaca-
tions.
1t is expected Carranza will propose
a formal conference, rather than in
formal conversations between Ambas-
sador Arredondo and the state depart
ment. American officials will accede
TO any plan which assures quick &C
ton.
War department officials discounted
rumors of revolt in the Carranza
garrison at Chihuahua City The
Mexican embassy formally denied the
report
Reports credited to American refu-
gees that two American sailors were
killed recently at Tampico when their
launch was fired upon by Carranza
soldiers, were denied by the state and
navy depart1n ents.
Acting Secretary Polk attended the

SUB VISIT CALLED
ACERMAN THREAT
British Regard SubmersibIe's Trip As
Berlin Way of Supporting Con-
tentiOns of Won Tirpitz.

London. July live are quite
ready to join in the laugh against our
selves and to applaud the skill and
us as a sportsman and has earned his
'aurels cIeanly," says the Manchester
Guardian, referring to the German sub
marine Deutschland.
The Guardian says that plans for
submarines OF 5000 to 1000 tons ex-
listed in Germany and England before
the war but that such vessels were
not built because of the time required
to submerge them and the impOssibility
of submerging in shallow water, d. 1t
points out that the Australian ySaaIssaaz
rfrTss F2 vert from Austra1Ia Is Ttth g
Dardanelles and says that if the cap
tain and crew of the Deutschland are
members of the imperial German navy,
the submarine may be dealt with as
naval auxiliary. Otherwise she is
blockade runner which could be or
dered to stop and if she attempted to
submerge it would be justifiable to
sink her.
1T is unlikely" the Guardian con-
tinues, that the moral of the appear
ance in American waters of a German
submarine will be missed after the
threats of Count Won Reventlow and
the other Tirpitz writer's last spring.
They warned America she was not too
far away for Germany's arm TO reach
her. Although the Deutschland may
be disarmed, she is none the less a
threat to the American navy"

Big Fight on
OUer Secret
Gas Process

Chicago, July 1.-THE claims of
Layton o. Sherman, an East Chicago
inventor as the originator of a secret
process for the manufacture of gaso-
line, will be the center of a legal battle
which opened here today before Judge
Jesse A. Baldwin in the circuit court.
1t is said that many millions Of dol
lars may acrue from the process and
the suit is expected to be holly con-
tested.
w. E. D. Stokes of New York; Ellis
Crawford of Charleston, w. Va, and
Frederick A. Norris, a Michigan oil
man, claim equal rights with Sherman
in his patented process which, it is
declared, will "revolutiOnize the man
ufacture of gasoline from crude OIL"
by virtue of a contract said to have
been entered into between the four
men on July 8, 1915. The defendants
in the litigation are Sherman, Will
liam Isom, his son Edward, Joseph A.
Cudahy and the Cudahy Refining com
pany, recently absorbed by the Sin
clair Oil & Refining company, another
defendant. They were named in a bill
filed by Crawford and Norris in the
circuit court here three weeks ago.
Since then Sherman has filed
cross bill to this action in which he
seeks to repudiate the contract with
Stokes, Crawford and Norris, alleging
that he was ignorant of the terms of
the contract. In reply to these claims
w L. Fisher, representing Stokes, has
filed an answer to the cross bill max
ing a blanket denial of Sherman's
claims
In the complaint filed against Sher-
man and the others by Crawford and
Norris it is charged that Sherman
'fraudulently delayed" completion of
still in Indiana for demonstration
of his process, accepting over a long
period financial aid in the work and
crude oil for carrying it on

Chihuahua, July 1.-THE main
body of the Villa force retreating from

0RPET'S LAWYER
TELLS PLIGHT OF
BOY IN HIS PLEA
Attorney Hanna Gives Vivid Verbal
Picture OF Youths Position in
Argument for Defense.

Waukegan, Ill, July 11.-Argument
for the defense following the opening
of that for the state yesterday was
begun today by Leslie P. Hanna in be-
half of William H. Orpet, charged with
the murder of Marian Lambert.
The defendant" said Mr.. Hanna,
took the stand as fair witness. The
shock of his arrest for Marian's death
had worn off. He was no longer the
frightened youth who, without counsel,
talked erratically perhaps just after his
arrest. 1t would have been folly for
him to have taken the stand unless he
was to tell the truth and the whole
truth
When he was arrested the whole
current of his life was changed" went
on the lawyer Officers of the law
besieged him and the newspapers
cried murder, murder 1t seemed to
him as if the whole world were ar
rayed against him. He simply did his
best until the advice to which he was
entitled came to his assistance"
Mr.. Hanna referred to Attorney JOS
lyn's cross examination of Orpet as
brutal and unfair" and warned the
jurors that they were not to remember
Mr.. Joslyn's insinuating questions but
Orpet's replies to them.
Mr.. Hanna walked up close to the
jury box and spoke in : very soft, con-
fidentiaI tone so that those in the aud
fence could not hear him. Speaking of
the defendants flight from the girls
body he said;
DO not place too much weight on
this. The lad of 20, incapable of con-
fronting such a shock and the expo
sure it promised, ran. The same lad,
grown to maturity, would have stayed.
After all, the backbone of the states
case was founded on the belief that
the cyanide of potassium, which killed
Marian Lambert, was a part of that in
the greenhouse over which the defend
ants father had control. That factor
has disappeared, and with its disap-
pearance appeared the innocence of
this defendant"
Mr.. Hanna spoke for only an hour
and a quarter. He was followed by
States Attorney Ralph ]. Dady for the
state. He dwelt particularly on the in
ferences to be drawn from letters OF
the defendant to Marian.
