be made officially of any of the ma
tional candidates and that the pro-
gressives be left to express their in

The central committee at a later

The debate at times grew spirited

MEXICO CITY, July S.-Several
prominent leaders of the de facto gov

now existing between the two gov

greatest secrecy concerning the meet
ing was maintained it became known
that two plans were considered. One
plan called for a telegraphic confer

the conference rooms in Washington
and Mexico City. The other plan was
that the delegates of the two govern

BERLIN, July 7.-(Via London, Ju-
ly S)-An eyewitness account of the
Anglo French offensive is given in dis
patches from Lieutenant Dambitsch,
one Of the editors of the Zeitung Am
mittag, whose company was stationed
in the trenches near the Somme river.
The lieutenant was wounded during
the preparatory bombardments but was
there long enough to witness the almost
indescribable destruction wrought in
the front line trenches by the artillery.
He says that the massively built posi-
tlons had been regarded as virtually
indestructible and impregnable but the
events proved that the progress
in the development of offensive tactics
since the September offensive had not
been realized.
Right at the beginning Of the ar
tillery preparation" says the lieuten-
ant, the enemy showed the Germans
a new thing in the destruction of OBJ
servation balloons An aviator swooped
down on one of these and shot fire
balls from above, a burst of flame
marking the end of the balloon.
The second days bombardment

Mr. Wilkerson's remarks, before the
ruling were briefly supplemented by
Attorney Ralph +. Potter, who, with
Leslie p. Hanna is associated with
Mr.. Wilkerson in the defense. Re
ferring to the analysis of the evidence
made by Mr.. Wilkerson, Mr.. Potter
concluded:
"The absence of motive for the
murder on part of the defendant; the
unavailahility of potassium cyanide to
him; its availability to Marion; her
motive for suicide are uncontradicted
acts which have been so firmly es-
ablished that if William Orpet

Lambert with cyanide of potassium
