NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL
REPORTED TO THE HOUSE
Special Rule Will Allow Pass
age Not Later Than Week
From Saturday

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The naval
appropriation bill carrying S241,000,0O0
was reported to the house today by the
naval committee. Majority Leader Kitch-
in announced yesterday that special
rule would be brought in under which
the measure will be passed not later
than a week from next Saturday.
The report says that the $91,7s7.2s7

As to the commission Of five naval
officers authorized to investigate the
navy yard situation and report to the

.FIANCEE OF WILL ORPET
IS IN SHADOW OF DEATH
Celeste Youker Suffers From
Shock Caused by Marian
Lambert'S Death

wAUKEGAN, Ill. May 24-The ten
tacles of the Marian Lambert tragedy
have reached out and dragged another
lovely and conhding girl into the shad-
ow of death.
While viii Orpet. Wisconsin univer-
sity student. fights for his life before
a jury on the charge of numbering Mar
ian, Celeste Youker. the girl he claims
as his nancee. tights for her own life on
sick bed i'm her mothers home.
The youth whose love affairs ended
in a tragedy that made the whole ma
ton shudder anxiously watches for
news from the Youker home in Power
Forest, III. Celeste lies dangerously ill
as the result of the shock she received
when she learned of Orpets arrest.
Orpet regards Celeste as his star of
hope Her story of her chaste love for
him he hopes will win a verdict of mot
guilty"
MAY NEVER TAKE STAND.
But Celeste may never take the wit
ness stand. Since the DAY she learned
of Orpet's arrest she has never left
her mothers home and those who knew
her as a charming young teacher at the
DeKalb Normal school have seen moth

that Marian Lambert had a motive for
suicide.

son for self-destruction by the Tilted

Like Marian Lambert, Celeste Youker
had been a school friend of Orpets:
their families are old friends. During

What Celeste will testify, if she is
able to come to waukegan. is puzzling
the state as well as the defense. Orpet
seems confident. however.
The sixth venire summoned for ex-
animation as jurors in the case appear
ed in court today. Most of the 6S6 men
examined so far have been residents Of
rural communities and practically all of
them have obtained their release from
jury duty by protesting fixed opinion
in the case.
In an attempt to expedite the selec-
ton OF a jury the new venire has been
drawn from residents of the city in
the hope that they will prove less opin-
donated and more able to pass the re-
quirements of the attorneys.
Four men have already been sworn for
Jury duty and the prosecution will, it is
expected, tender for more to the de-
tense today.

Discrimination

Via Motor Truck TO Columbus, New
Mexico, May 2l.)-A marked difference
between Villa strongholds and other
towns in southern Chihuahua was re-
ported today by officers who have made
the campaigns close on the bandits
trail.
In the solid Villa districts there were
evidences OF prosperity. The people
there de, Jared that villa protected them,
taking what ne neeued from them with
considerable sense of discrimination.
The towns of mixed politics. peopled
by both Villa and \Carranza partisans
were all on the verge of misery. The
Villa adherents IN such places reported
that the bandit chief was in the habit
Of protecting them, but of plundeflng
the Carranza sympathiZerS.
They complained that Carranza COM
mands plundered both Villa and Car
rama communities without discrimina-
ton, always taking care, however. to
announce that they were Selling proper
ty lin the name of the government.
TOO MUCH LATITUDE.
Carranza sympathizers themselves
complained that petty officers exercised
altogether too wide a latitude in secur-
ing supplies. on the promises Of the gov
eminent to repay. p
At the small town of Cienegas, near
Satevo, an Associated Press correspond
ent saw one of these forays by a small
Carranza command. The town was well
stripped. Afterward an old Mexican
complained to some American troops
who were passing, asking them for pro-
lection and eXclaiming:
villa takes what 1 have to eat. But
these people have taken all I have to
eat, and my donkey besides. and even
took my RATA mexican, hair rope lasso).
They left me no tools. 49,.
Outside of this territory Of at best
doubtful allegiance to the CarEanza gov
eminent there have not been complaints
of harsh treatment by, Carranza sol
