MARSHALL VOTED GULTY OF HAVIN INSULTED' HOUSE Lower Body of Congress Sustains “Contempt” Charges Brought Against Federal District Attorney. HE IS ORDERED INTO'CUSTODY Sergeant-at-Arms Ordered to Bring Prosecutor Before Bar of “ the Chamber. PENALTY REPRIMAND LIKELY June 20.—Contempt charges against H. Snowden Mar-, shall, United States district attorney at New York}‘hccause of his criticism of a house subcommittee, were sus- tained by the house today by a vote of 208 to 85, and the séigeant-at-arms was ordered to take Mr. Marshall into custody and bring him before the bar of the house. It is expected that a public repri- mand will be the sentence imposed on Mr. Marshall when he is brought be- fore the bar of the house. The action is theoutgrowth of impeachment pro- ceedings brought against him_ by Rep- resentative Buchanan, Will Issue Warrant. Speaker Clark probably will issue a warrant tomorrow, but some of Mr. Marshall’s friends said tonight he might anticipate its service and ap- pear voluntarily. Although house lead- ers have indicated they would be sat- isfied with a reprimand, a more se- vere punishment, including imprison- ment, might be imposed should the house so decide. A vote on that question will be taken later. An all-day debate preceded the vote today, Representative Moon, chair- man of a select committee which in- vestigated the -<contempt charges, leading the fight against Mr. Mar- shall. He declared the district attor- ney had offered an “outrageous in- sult to the house.” Representatives Garner ofTexas, Webb of North Car- olina and other members said failure to sustain the charges would consti- tute a repudiation of the subcommit- tee and an endorsement of Mr. Mar- shall’s attack on it. Natural Reply to Make. Representative Graham .of Penn- sylvania, defending the district at- torney, said the subcommittee had opened a public publicity campaign to which Mr. Marshall's statements were btu the natural reply of an in- dignant man. g[‘hes ubcommittee had erred, he said, in opening “hearings in" New York and in trying to obtain infor- mation 4rom members of the grand jury there.” . The vote, was not partisan. The impeachment proceedings were started by Representative Buchanan after the district attorney's investi- gation of the alleged unneutral ac- tivities of Labors' National’ peace council, which resulted in the indict- ment of Representative Buchanan and others. Other charges against Mr. Marshall related to the general conduct of his office and}pamcularly his conduct of the Rae Tanzer per- jury case. Marshail’'s Letter. Contempt charges were preferred after the district attorney had writ- ten a letter to the investigaion sub- commitee branding its work as “ir- claring it was attempting to protect a member of congress by ruining a district attorney. Although the subcommittee has rec- ommended that the impeachment charges bed ropped, Representative Buchanan has asked for a hearing before the full judiciary committee and both he and Mr. Marshall will be permitted to make statements Fri- day.

GERMANS REPORT GAINS NEAR LUTSK Teutons Break Resistance of Slavs at Several Points and Fight Way Forward. ATTACKS ON VERDUN REPULSED ST Berlin (Via London), June 20— German troops have broken the re- sistance of the Russians at various points northwest of Lutsk and are fighting their way forward, the war office announced today. Attacks on Verdun Repulsed. Paris, June 20.—Three German at- tacks, made last night on the French positions northwest of Hill No. 321, were repulsed by the fire of the French machine guns, according to an official statement issued today by the war office. The Germans are heavily bombarding the French posi- tions in_ the neighborhood .ot Vaux, Chapitre and Chattancourt. (% —frustriansPiee-te Carpathians. London, June 19.—Having captured Czernowitz, capital of Bukowina, the Russians are well on their way from that city and from ° various points along the River Pruth, driving the Austrians before them toward the Sereth river and the Carpathian mountain passes. Numerous addi- tional prisoners have been captured by the Russians in their drive, and more guns, maciline guns, ammuni- tion and foodstuffs have fallen into their hands. Heavy fighting still is in progress to the north, in Galicia, and Volhynia, with the Russians generally on the of- fensive, but with the Austrians and the Germans tenaciously battling against their further advance. Temperance Play Given State Sunday School Delegates Falls City, Neb., June 20.—(Special Telegram.)—The State Sunday school convention started out on a three days’ session with its ardor some- what dampened”by the heavy rain, but from all appearances the attendance will reach the expectations of the committee, who had arranged for from 1,500 to 2,000 delegates. The city is gayly decorated in rain- bow colors, and the delegates are be- ing met at the trains and taken to the park where the sessions are to be held. After rgeistering, boy scouts escorted them_to places of entertain- ment. The first session was held at the Christian church this afternoon with a large attendance. Rev. William A. Brown of Chicago, international field secretary, address- ed the conference. For the entertainment of the guests the pageant of the “States,” a tem- perance play, will be given by 100 Falls City people at the city Auditor- ium tonight. Ranks of Militia Rapidly Filling Although recruiting is moving for- ward rapidly officers of the guard are glad to get fresh applications. The companies_are filing up but there is still a place for any who can meet qualifications. No company will be sent to the mobilization camp until it has at least sixty-five men up to standard. The officers expect to have about eighty-five men to a compaany before going to Ashland. This will allow for a cut by the stricter physi- of the federal in- spection staff and still have the com- paany apove the minimum. UNION EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS AT BURCHARD Burchard, Neb, June 20.—(Spe- cial.)—This town is now beginning a union evangelistic campaign, under the leadership of Rev. Floyd John Kan. The first two days of invitation resulted in 140 trail hitters. The big tabernacle was crowded to overflowing Sunday night. Evangelist Evans just finished a_sucessful union reyival at White Kan., with several hundred conversions, The Burchard cam- ‘paign will continue two weeks. | twice the STATE GUARD HAS N0 READY MONBY Al] Expense of Mobilization Must Be Done on Credit Basis by State. U. 8. WILL REIMBURSF (From a Staff AN\ Lincoln, June .’M)ecial,)— Watchful waiting is being practiced by the state administration with re- gard to calling out the Nebraska guard to a mobolization point. While many companies have been in readiness to move at a moment's notice for twenty-four hours, delay in ‘receiving from the War depart- ment definite orders as to a mobiliza- tion point is holding back the state department from taking definite ac- tion. Looks Very Warlike, The state house has put on a war- like appearance. Messenger boys have been flitting up and down, hith- er and thither carrying messages from headquarters to be sent to the different commands and bringing an- swers from those anxious to know when there will be something doing. Messages from several points almost demand that they be allowed to form companies for actual service, and were it necessary to raise a force of | number called for it is probable that it could be done in three or four days. Must Go Slowly. However, the department faces the proposition of going slow, mighty slowly. Thanks to an economical leg- islature the department is practically out of funds even to carry on the preliminary arrangements for getting ready. Companies have been ordered to mobilize at their home stations, and the state is practically at an ex- pense of about $1,500 a day from the time orders were sent out. Guard Crippled by Economy. The last legislature was so befit on making a record for .economy that the guard has been placed in a prac- tically crippled condition during the present biennium. Had the leaders in that unhappy session had their way the guard would today be prac- tically of little account and it would have cost thousands of dollars to have put the state in a position to give heed to the call to arms. Until the guard is mustered into the United States service the state will have to furnish the financial sup- port necessary to carry on the work, and the question which is now troub- ling Governor Morehead and General Hall is where will it come from. Must Use Credit. Of course the government later on reimburse the state for its expense in mobdizing the guard at this time, but present. conditions’ in- dicate that guard headquarters will have to get supplies on credit and pay accordingly instead of going into the market and getting them on the cash basis, which in the amount which will be needed would make considerable difference to the state in the period necessary tq get the guard up to the requirements. Prohibition Law 0f Arkansas Again Is Declared Valid Little Rock, Ark., June 20.—The ‘| Arkansas supreme court last night for the second time sustained the validity of the state-wide prohibition legis- lation passed by the last legislature and which went into effect January 1. The case was that of Charles Miller of Lafayette county, who was convicted of selling liquor and sen- tenced to serve one year in the peni- tentiary, the only penalty permissible under the law. The appeal alleged that the prohibition law is unconsti- tutional because it denies to the court the right to suspend sentence after conviction. The supreme court held that the legislature had the right to enact such a law because there is no provision in the state constitution forbiddidng such legislation. (erman Banker Is Detained at El Paso El Paso, Tex., June 20.—Frederick Griese, a German banker of Mexico City, was under detention by agents of the Department of Justice here to- day, charg€d with violation of the United States neutrality laws. Griese was prevented fast night from cross- ing into Mexico. Agents of the Department of Jus- tice are maintaining secrecy regard- ing the exact allegations against Griese pending investigation. It is said, however, that his detention is an outcome of various reports re- garding the spreading of anti-Amer- ican propaganda in Mexico. He spent last night in jail, but was released today. Meantime Washington has been notified. Special Den Show For Swedes Tonight Seven hundred tickets are to be issued for the visiting Swedish sing- ers for the special entertainment and initiation at Ak-sar-ben den tonight The best estimates yesterday after- noon were that this would be the number of visitors to ride Samson's goat. It has been announced that there is to be no show at the den on the evening of Monday duly 3. It has not been decided whether a show and initiation will be held any other day during that week or not, hut the pro- gram of that evening is to be dis- pensed with because the next day will be the Fou'r!h of July. Goethals Bees Wilson, Washington, June £0.—Mujor General George W. Goethals, governor of the Panama canal, discussed with Presldent Wilson today his desire to retire.

MOREHEAD IS FOR ASHIAND Nebraska National guardsmen are ready to move at a momert’s notice, messages to that effect reazhing Ad- jutant General Hall at Lincoln yes- terday from company commanders throughout the state, Dispatches from Lincoln were to | the effect that the military men be- | lieved that while the hzavy rain of Monday night would encumtber the moving of troops somewhat, and also the getting in readiness the state shape a the proper time. Governor Favors Ashland. All indications point to the camp being located at Ashland, although efforts are being made by Lincoln business men to have it located at the State fair grounds in the capital city. The government atithorities L-ve full power to decide in the mat- tes, but it is believed that they will be influenced somewhat by the wishes of Governor Morehead, who favors the Ashland range because of the equipment already installed. The lo- cation of the camp will probably be decided upon today. Up to a late hour last night'no word had been received from General Barry at Chicago, upon whose decision rests the choice of the mobilization camp in Nebraska. General Barry, it is thought, will decide upon the Ash- land range, as it is owned by the gov- ernment and is piped and ready for the men at any time the decision to move is made. Word was expected during the night on this matter. The state authorities 2re moving slowly because of the lack of funds, as all purchases must be made on the certainty of greatly delayed pay- ments, Guardsmen’s Pay Starts. Omaha National guardsmen assem- bled at the armory yesterday for roll call, Their pay as guardsmen began Tues: morning and breakfast was served at the armory to.all those who so desired. As the fatilities for feed- ing and housing the men is not very good, a provision of the regulations provides that men who so elect may, upon permission of their captains, live and eat at home and receive an allow- ance of 75 cents a day in place of the armory food and beds. Recruiting continued rapidly through most of the night. Company A is now recruited to a strength of about 100 men. Companies B, C and D, which with Company A, make u: the First battalion o? the Fourth regi- ment, were recruited to .between eighty and ninety men each. Mon- day morning their strength averaged about sixty-five. Most of the guardsmen are able to pass the physical examination given by Dr. George W. Pugsley. Sev- eral of the recruits are veterars of the Spanish-Amerfcan war and the Philippine campaign. One man 47 years old, two years beyond the usual limit, insisted that he be taken in some capacity, and he was accepted provisionally subject to further exam- nation by federal medical inspectors. A number of the new men have seen service either in previous enlistments in the guard or in the regular army and will consequently be easy to whip into shape for a campaign. Body of Brother of Brownsville Mayor Found in Rio Grande Brownsville, Tex., June 20.—The body of William Browne, a brother of Mayor Albert Browne of this city, was found in the Rio Grande river on the Mexican side, ten miles south of Matamoros today. Browne is said to have been last seen in Matamoros Saturday afternoon. He -is believed to have been murdered. Auto Club Will Run To State Fisheries The Tours Committee of the Om- aha Automobile Club met yesterday at the Hotel Fontenelle, and made preliminary arrangements for | trips during the summer. The first run will be to the State Fisheries and re- turn next Sunday. Thé Bee has ar- ranged. to print in the Sunday issue the official road map of the run. This will be arranged in convenient form for the use of the tourists and be pasted on a sheet of cardboard for ready referenve on the run. “The round trip is between seventy- five and eighty miles, through miles of scenic beauty. The down trip will be by way of the Lincoln Highway, Millard, and Gretna, returning via Springfield, Richfield, Papillion and Riverview Parks. The committee decided not to ap- point “any specific time or place for meeting. - Members start at any time and finish when they please. The club rooms at the Fontenelle will be open and any who so desire may meet there and form groups of cars for the trip or meet friends, there to fill up their cars for the run. Secretary Smith suggests tht the State Fisheries Reservation and the banks of the Platte make ideal places for picnic lunches. | Troops Probably Will Be Asked to camp, everything would be in ship-| i miral 1916—TWELVE PAGES.

Two hours after the San Diego left port the torpedo boat destroyers Hull, Truxtun,and Hopkins sailed for the south. It was stated that the de- stroyers are under orders to over- take the San Diego and that at that time they will be given station or- ders by Admiral Winslow. Resolution to Amend Army Draft Bill Is Delayed Washington, D. C., June 20.—Ad- ministration leaders in congress de- cided not to seek immediate action on a resolution to provide for mak- ing the Nationa] Guard eligible for foreign service, fearing that such a step at this time might be construed by the Mexican government as a warlike act. Enough regulars are available now to deal with any emer- gency across the Mexican border and should it become necessary to send guardsmen the resolution then could be rushed through. Reports to the War department indicated the mobilization was pro- ceeding satisfactory.

AMERICAN NOTE FLATLY REJECTS DEFACTODEMAND Formal Note to Carranza Says the Troops Will Stay Until He Restores Order, COUCHED IN VIGOROUS TERMS Attemot to Carry Out His Threats Will Be Followed by Gravest Consequences. PATIENCE OF U. 8. EXHAUSTED Washington, June 20.—The Amer- ican note flatly rejecting Carranza’s demand for the withdrawal of United States troops from Mexico and re- buking the Carranza government for the discourteous tone and temper of its last communication was handed today to Eliso Arredondo, the Mex= ican ambassador designate. It concludes with the statement that if the de facto government con- tinues te- ignore this obligation and carries ot its threat to defend its ter= ritory by an appeal to arms agdinst the American troops the gravest con= sequences will follow, “While this government would deeply regret such a result,” the note says, “it cannot recede from its set- tled determination to maintain its na- tional rights and to perform its full duty in preventing further invasions of the territory of the United States and in removing the peril which Americans along the international boundary have borne so long with patience and forbearance.” - Troops Will Remain. Long continued outrages against Americans and their property, both in Mexico and on American soil, are re- viewed in the note and warning given that the troops will be kept in Mex- ico until such a_time as the de facto government performs the duty which the United States has not sought, in pursuing the bandits, who ought to be . arrested, and punished by the Mexi- can government, “l am reluctant to be forced to the conclusion which might be drawn from the circumstances,” Secretary Lansing declares, “that the de facto government in ¢pitc of the crimes committed and the sinister designs of Villa and his followers did not and does not now intend or desire that these outlaws should be captured, de« stroyed or dispersed by American troops, or at the request of this gove ernment by Mexican troops.” - ~ Mexican Press Antagonistic. The purposes.of the United States government towards Mexico ques- tioned in the last Mexican note are announced in the following language: “If a denial is needed that this gov= ernment has had ulterior and improp- dered on duty in time to assist at|er motives in its diplomatic repre= camp. sentations, or has _countenanced the A message was received by General | activities of American sympathizers Hall from the Aero Club of America, | and the American press stating that within twenty-four hours congress would probably appropriate $S,080,000 for army and uard aero- | ever, plane service and asking that Captain Ed Bignall, who has nearly completed instruction at the Curtiss school, be not assigned to duty until forty-eight hours have elapsed. Ex-Senator Laverty of Ashland called at headquarters yesterday and informed General Hall that the camp grounds at the national rifle range were in good shape and that the roads -leading thereto would be ready by the time the troops were ready to use them, The following guard officers from .|Omaha had reported in person at Lin- coln up to yesterday: Major Allan D.

Police Chief Tells 0f Talk With Orpet Waukegan, Ill, June 20.—Walter Maguire, chief of police of Lake For- est, who interviewed the defendant in jail in April, was the first witness today in the trial of Will Orpet on a charge of murdering Marion Lam- bert. “I asked Orpet how Marion fell and he said that she fell in the posi- tion in which she was found. “I asked him if he ever heard Marion Lambert threaten suicide and he said no.” The witness identified one of the so-called alibi letters from Orpet to Marion, “I asked him,” said Maguire, “if this was one of the letters he left with his friend, Otto Peterson, at Madison to mail on February 9. He said it was.” GOVERNMENT WANTS HORSES AND MULES Kansas City, June 20.—The govern- ment is in the market for 62344 horses and mules for use on the Mex- ican border. Orders to advertise for that . number were received from Washington today by Captain C, E, Hawkins, quartermaster of the Unite States army. Bids will be opene here next Monday.

Orpet, university stue dent charged with the murder of Ma« rion Lambert, is g¢xpected to take the \ itness stand tomorrow, when it is expected that the last of the state’s evidence will be presented. _ ¢ Much of today’s testimony cone ' cerned statements alle7ed to have been made by Orpet to lawyers, po= licemen and newspaper reporters just efore and immediately fallowing his arrest. The admissibility of much of it was questioned and the witnesses in many instances were interrogated while the jury was excluded from the Tfoom. Its members were brought backto hear the admissible portions, It was first excluded when States Attorney Dady sketched ‘the pure ported contents of the letters from Orpet to Marion. Last summer they were ardent and jealous in tone. The; complained because Marion a dressed him as ‘“dear” instead of “dearest” and in nearly every one reference was made to illicit rela« tions. There was a lapse ih the series while Orpet was at home in Lake Forest for the summer vaca« tion, When he returned to the Uni« versity of Wisconsin at Madison in the fall, the tone of the letters was cooler, States Attorney Dady re« marked. Marion was no f;nger “dear-~ est” but merely “dear Marion"” and the young man who a few months before had been watching the mails for her letters to him, was now con= itantly apoligizing for not writing to er.
