STERIOUS NEW SIN ORPET Staté Suspected of Arresting Him After He Told of Giving Drug to Miss Lambert. WAUKEGAN, Ill., May 9.—Efforts of James H. Wilkerson, attorney for Wii! H. Orpet, charged with the murder of Marian Lambert, t6 clear up certain facts with respect to a mysterious J5- seph Hartman, were unavailing in court today. Wilkerson wanted to know if State’s Attorney Dady had caused the arrest or sequestration of Hartman, but the Court ruled that the prosecution could not be compelled to divulge its plans to the defense. Hartman is said to have visited Wil- the lawyer a story concerning Marian Lambért. He said that Clara. Cramer, his cousin, & domestic employed at Lake Forest, told Miss Lambért that Hart- man had a drug which would relieve her condition. Hartman said hée gave Miss Lambert the drug. Miss Cramer was said by Hartman ‘tv be in Toledo, and Wilkerson sent one of his partners to the Ohid city to in- vestigate. Hartman promised to pro- duce Miss Cramer for confirmation of the story last Saturday. The éngage- mént was not kept and today Wilker- son demanded to know if the State was detaining Hartman. Dady admitted to reporters that he knew wheré Hartman Was, and that his testimony concerned Occurrénces after Miss Lambert's death. The Court ruled that hoth defense and State shall have accéss to tele- Grams alleged to have passed between Orpet and Miss Lambert a few months before her death. Examination of véniremen in the trial of Orpét continued today. Eight jurors have been sworn and oné man was in the box who was téntatively accepted on Saturday, A new block of 50 mén was summoned to appear in court for examination to- day.

CASE DISAPPEARS kerson last Monday and to have told: GARRANZA ENVOY ARRIVES INCAPITAL, HAS NO NOTE Washington Puzzled When Manuel Mendéz Says Hé Is Only on a Vacation. WASHINGTON, May %.~Manuél Mendez, an attache of Gen. Cafranza’s Foreign Office, arfived héré today and conferred with Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexican Ambassador, but denied that. hé brought a noté as had been éxpected or. that hé brought any instructions from his chief. He declared he was merely in the United States on a vaca- tion. Arredondo and other Mexican officials proféssed to bé puzzled. It has been ré- ported from Mexico City and the border that a special messenger was bringing a4 new communication from Gén. Cafran- za. Nod indication of ite conténts had been given but it generally has been as- sumed by Americans that the éxtra note renewed the demand for the withdrawal of American forces or made a protest against the second expedition led by Col. Sibley and Maj. Langhorné, Which has, howéver, returnéd t6 Américaf terri- tory. At the Mexican embassy it was said that if a note was coming it probably would be brought by some other mes- aengeér. Representations are abdut to be made to the State Department for thé release of a quantity of copper and machinry consignd to the Carranza Government but now detained in Néw York. Arre-| flondé declaréd today that, lacking other instructions, this was the only quéstion he had to také up With the Staté De- partment at this time. Special Agent Rodgers at Mexico City telegraphed that the note should have reached Washington yesterday. He has been assured that it will not be made public until delivered to gecretary Lan sing. Navy Department dispatches fre- port quiet at Tampico. Financial con- ditions in México City aré reported to continue bad. Consular Yreports from other points said considerablé friction was resulting from the Carrafiza Gov- ernment’s efforts to maintain its new paper currehcy at prevailing rates. State Department officials had before them today a telegram from 84 Améfri- can oil operators at Tampico protesting against decréés promulgated by the Méx- ican authorities, designed, it Was de- élared, to rendér it impossible for Amer- icans ot conduct business in that coun- try. The message, addrested to President Wilson, related how one of their num- ber had been arrestec and imprisoned for refusal tO pay his employes Wages fixed .by the authorities in excess of terms previously agreed upon with the men. Protéction from the United States Government Was asked by the complain- ants, who announced that they would ignore the confiscatory orders. This protest, together with othérs re- garding recént decrees by the Mexican authorities, probably will result in rep- resentations to the de facto Government immediately after the issue over Amieri- can troops is settled. While diplomatic hegotiations are in progress here, Gen. Pershing will be holding conferences with Gén. Gavira, Carranza commander of the State of Chihuahua, régarding co-operation of the Carranza and American force in the purusit of outlaws. A message re- céived from Gen. Pérshing at the War Department yesterday stated that Gén. Gavifta was expected at Casas Grandes on Wednesday or Thursday for the conferences, Gen. Funston has prohib- ited disctiésion by Gen. Pershing in the conferences of the question of with- drawing thé United Statés expedition. Further détails regarding the recent engagement near Cruces between seven men of the Sevénteenth Infantry and an outlaw band of under the noéte- tious bandit leaders, Cérvantés and Bencomo, both of whom Wéré killed by srivate George Hulett, were recéivéd at the War Departnientt from Gen.

For many years almost a feud existed be- tween Tacoma and the Hill intereste.
