SHE REFUSES TO COME OUT |Says She Guéssed She Has Taken Chances Enough as Mother “Was Wise.” |TWO UNEXPECTED WITNESSES E Waukegan, M., June 19.—Two tel- | ephone operators, who occasionally | relieved the monotony of the night watch by “listening in” on the wire, | were unexpectedly produced by the state today in the case of William H. Orpet, the university student charged with the murder of Marion Lambert, a Lake Forest high school girl, The new witnesses, Mary Dunn and Edith Kennedy, testified that they heard part of the conversation over the “telephone wire between young Orpet and Marion on the night of February 8, the night before her death, Substance of Talk. n substance the conversation was said to have been: Orpet—Hello, Marion. This is Will Are you coming out? Marion—No. Orpet (pleadingly)—Oh, take a chance and come on. Marion—I guess I have taken chances enough with, you. I think my mother was wise last time I was sick. 2 Orpet—I'll give you something to fix that, Marion—No, I can’t. Orpet—Well, all right; I've got to catch the 5 o'clock train back to Mad- ison in the morning. ' Tells Her Husband. Mrs. Kennedy, who at that time was unmarried and went by her maid- en name of Lihdke, and Miss Dunn testified that this conversation took place at about 8 o’clock in the eve- ning of the 8th, When they read of the death of Marion they spoke to others in the office about it and when she married Miss Lihdke told her husband, but the informztion did not reach State’s Attorney Ralph J. Dady until last Saturday. He in- formed James H. Wilkerson and Ralph F, Potter, attorneys for the defense on Sunday, too late for them to prepare for cross-examination, and the girls will be recalled for this pur- pose. . * Mrs, Kennedy and. said they knew ) B Kennedy said that she was acqucinted with Orpet’s voice. “He followed me home from work one night and sl‘oke to me at my door,” she said. Point Not Cleared Up, According to letters which passed between Orpet and Marion, the former believed that Marion might be in a delicate condition, although evie dence since brought to light shows that she was not. Whether Orpet intended to return to his studies by an early train and later changed his mind is a point yet to be cleared u: and may not be un- less the defendant becomes a witness. Other witnesses today were Olive Rasmussen, Ethel Cole, Viola Frie, Katherine Robinson, Elizabeth White, Adelaide Smith, James F. King and Percy Longland. The girls were among the seven- teen girls at Marion’s birthday party, February 6, The others testified previously.

WILSON REFECTS DENANDS MADE BY WEKICAN CHIEF Note to Carranza Refusing to Withdraw American Troops Will Go Forward at R Once. 1 GUARDSMEN ARE MOBILIZING Governors of All States Respond to Order Issued by War Depart- ment Sunday. CLASH AT PORT OF MAZATLAN Washington, D. C, June 19— While the Awhole country was astir today with the mobilization of the National Guard for border duty, President Wilson directed that his reply rejecting’ General Carranza's demand for the recall of American troops from Mexico go forward ime mediately, In refusing to withdraw the troops the United States reaffirms the friendly intentions of the United States toward the de facto govern- ment in Mexico and sharply rebukes General Carranza for ynwarranted charges and insinuations of bad faith contained in his communication. President Wilson's firm resolve to keep the armed forces of the United States in Mexico until such time as the Mexican govgrnment polices the border region so thoroughly that bandit raids into American territory are improbable is understood to be clearly stated in the note: ‘Will Send Note at Once. Secretary Lansing announced that the note would be dispatched during the day, but would not discuss its terms or say how it would be trans- mitted. It had been planned to send it by special messenger to the Mex- ican capital. Recent developments along the border and General Tre- vino's warning to General Pershing, however, caused the wisdom of this plan to be doubted and there were indications today that the reply would go by telegraph to Special Agent Rodgers in Mexico City for delivery to General Carranza. While these diplomatic steps were in process, a force of National Guardsmen which will not be less than 100,000 strong and may exceed that number by many thousand, was being rhustered into the service of the United States. Governors of all states had replied before noon today to instructions :sent last night that their allotment of tréops be immedi- ately called out. . In each instance Secretary Baker was :f)rmed that the men were arming and proceeding to their mobilization points. More Wi to Codat. From. both also, additional naval vessels under orders to proceed, to Mexican ‘waters for the relief of Americans who may gather from the interior. _Only light craft” and transports are"engaged in this service. If necessary, they will be! able to go up shallow waters after refugees. Considerable axiety is felt for the safety of American citizens, of whom there are still about 5,000 in Mexico, Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambas- sador designate, submitted to Secre- tary Lansing a report of a clash at Mazatlan yesterday between Mexican soldiers and a boatload of men from the American gunboat Annapolis. Later a fotmal request from Gen- eral Carranza was transmitted, urging that no men from ' American warships be permitted to land, even unarmed, during the present disturbed state of public opinion, ' Admiral Winslow is trying to reach the Annapolis by radio for a report on the incident. Instructions to naval commanders in Mexican waters have been to allow no shore liberty to their men and to send only such men ashore as is nec- essary to get lu}:‘plies and mail. Diplomatic ~ officials were much stirred today by the possibility of aca tual hostilities between the ~United States and Mexico, which they saw in the ‘mobilization of the {Illional Cuard. Many have nationals in Mex- ":'cri wi whose safety they wish to pro- vide. Clash at Mazatlan, A communication from the Mexi- can embassy announcing that there had been a clash between a boat crew from the Annapolis and Carranza sol- diers at Mazatlan yesterday and ask- ing that in the present tense situa- tion no men be landed in Mexico from American warships in any cir- cumstances was delivered to the State department today by an eme bassy secretary. The secretary sought an engage- ment with Secretary Lansing for the ambassador designate, Eliseo Arre- dondo, but was .informed that A Lansing was very busy and was mak- ing no appointments for the day. In regard to the general situation (Continued Page Two, Col. Three.) Slump in Market Durillg__Last Hour New York, June 19.—Stdcks were generally unsettled today in conse- quence of the more intense condition in Mexico. The Mexican = group was particularly affected, losing 2 to 4 pomnts, with as much or more for some of the specialties comprising the motor and ‘war issues. Iovest- ment stocks, as rerresented by high class rails, were lower by 1 to 2 poix;tss with weakness in obscure is- sues. Weakness became widespread in the final hour when 'the list seemed almost without support. Mexicans were then 3 to 6 points under last weeks' final quotations. coppers-and specialties were lower by 3 to .10 points and investment shares devel oped greater heaviness. The movement thén extended to government bonds, Panama 3s de- clining 3 points, an extraordinary re- loia, cession, on call. i
