ORPET TO KNOW FATE BEFORE END OF WEEK

Court Refuses to Take Case From Jury, and Opening Arguments Will Begin Tomorrow.

WAUKEGAN, 111., July 8.—The Jury that will free or convict Will Orpet for •Marion Lambert's murder had all the evidence before it tonight. Judge

Donnelly late today refused to take the case from the jury, placing it squarely up to the twelve men to take

•i

their choice of the two solutions of the mystery of Helm's woods that have been unfolded in the trial.

After seven weeks of trial, the jury must decide whether Marion, the school girl sweetheart of Orpet, committed suicide or was murdered the day last February when she died under the Three Oaks in the woods. .. Judge Donnelly heard lengthy arguments on the defense's plea that he ^take the case from the jury, but speedily turned it down.

The defense contended the state had failed to show that Orpet had any motive for killing Marion, that it had inever been established he bought or had in his possession any cyanide of potassium or that he took any poison into the woods where he and Marion held their last tryst.

Closing Statements Monday. Defense and prosecution prepared to begin closing statements to the jury Monday. State's Attorney Dady will 'demand the death penalty, it is believed. Dady and E. M. Runyard, his assistant, will speak first for the *qtate. Then the defense will turn loose its batteries and finally Special Prosecutor Joslyn, who has borne the brunt of the work for the state, will have the final say.

Today, by rebuttal and sur-rebuttal testimony, scattering points in the case were cleared: The state's' poison experts stuck to their story, that the 'cyanide Orpet had access to was the' 'kind that killed Marion, and also established that Orpet, months before the jtragedy, had purchased cyanide for his .father. The defense, by calling the .elder Orpet to the stand, produced this cyanide as evidence to show the cans ,had never been opened until the tragedy and that this was not the kind 'that killed Marion. 1 The "three spots," tiny marks on ^Marion's coat made by cyanide, figured .also in the closing testimony. The state had witnesses to say they were on the •.coat immediately after Marion's death the defense had witnesses to testify (they were not "discovered" until -months afterward.

Say Mexican War Flurry Has Not Disturbed Prosperity—Days of Panics Seem Passed.

NEW YORK, July 8.—In many ways the strongest financial and business institution of any country is the National City bank of New York. The monthly review of business conditions which is issued by this bank is most valuable for its accuracy in statement of facts and drawing of conclusions. In the business review issued July 1 this comment appears as a foreword: "The past month has witnessed the inauguration of a presidential campaign, and also a crisis with Mexico which has seemed to bring the country to the brink of .war, but business circles have been but slightly influenced by either development. The political issues are not related to industrial or social unrest to the extent they were four years ago, and war with Mexico, deplorable though it would be, has no very alarming aspects for the United States.

Ail Records Broken.

"The general business situation has undergone little change. The crop outlook is better than it was a month ago, and promises at least.an average yield. There has been some recession of prices for metals, natural products and manufactures, but they are due to increasing production rather than to diminishing demand, and they have not gone far enough to disturb confidence or materially check the activity of buyers. Production and distribution continue upon an unprecedented scale, and, as a rule, wtih large return^ to producers. Manufacturing lines are generally sold ahead for the remainder of this year, and are well assured as to next year's prospects. "Foreign trade is as prosperous as it can well be, considering how little capacity our manufacturers can spare from the home demands. Exports for the month of May aggregated $472,000,000, the greatest for any month o'f our history, with a favorable trade balance of $243,000,000. For the fiscal yeair ending June 30 there will be a favorable trade balance of approximately $2,200,000,000, or about double that of the fiscal year 1915.

BANKS ELATED OVER

No More Hand-Made Panics. "One of the largest manufacturers remarked the other day that the federal reserve act had made it possible and safe for men doing a legitimate and safe business to contract a year ahead with assurances of no doubt of delivery. Under the old system, when the moderate business was subject to arbitrary regulations governed by the whims of this or that banker, this manufacturer called attention to the absolute impossibility of safety in planning ahead. Now this same man has contracted more than twelve months in advance and knows that his business and securities assure delivery and safety under the federal reserve regulations. He knows at least there is to be no hand-made Wall street financial panic."

GAS COMPANY FILES SUPPLEMENTARY KATE II

Would Reduce Cfcst to Large Manufacturers Using More Than 50,000 Feet Per Month.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 8.—The state public service commission today authorized the Citizens' Gas and Fuel company, of Terre Haute, to file a supplementary schedule which will provide a rate of 50 cents a thousand cubic feet for gas consumed by manufacturers and industrial enterprises in Terre Haute and West Terre Haute when the customers use more than 60,000 feet a month.

Discussing tl^e reduction In the gas rate for the large consumers, C. D. Shaul, local manager of the Citizens' Gas and Fuel company, last night declared that the company had offered the supplementary schedule with the idea of interesting more factories and other large consumers in the use of gas for fuel. "Under the old rates there are a number of plants in Terre Haute which were unable to use gas on account of the/lo-#75)ricest.-of c^ar-ifi this locality, and it is with the idea of getting their patronage that the reduction was made," said Mr. Shaul. He' continued that it is not the intention to advocate the use of gas for the production of steam, but he said it would be used with good results in the steel and iron mills and the foundries Instead of 6oal.

Under the new schedule the old rates will prevail for consumers who use up to 50,000 feet, and for those who use more than that amount the 50-cent price will be given.

commandant, officially announced that Arrietta's column had engaged the Vlllistas near Baca, midway between Jiminez and Parral. Three thousand men were engaged on both sides. Arrieta's force consisted of 1,200 cavalry and 800 infantry. The Villist.as were sweeping northward toward Parral, fresh from looting Jiminez and their victory over the Carranzista garrison at Corralitos. Although outnumbered, the Villistas apparently put up a desperate fight. The b'attle began shortly after dawn, and the outcome was still in doubt when Gonzales received his last message thjp afternoon.

With Parral In their hands the Villistas would be In virtual control of southern Chihuahua and northern Durango, menacing Chihuahua City and Carranza's grip on northern Mexico. A much farther advance northward would bring the Villista's in touch with the American expedition in Mexico and place them in a position to strike the" American border.

The rebels, in fact, were reported rushing from Falomir to La Mulavpass to raid the Big Bend Texas border town.

appeared unlikely that the

Villistas reported to have left Falomir yesterday figured in the raids reported today and independent bands are suspected.

Villa himself was reported leading the column moving on Parral, but this was not borne out by Gonzales' official announcement.

Communication between Jiminez and Parral was cut by the Villistas, who are said to have been recruiting as they traveled porthward, when intercepted by Carranzistas.

Baca, scene of the battle, is in the mountainous mining distriot southwest of Parral. When the details of the fight become known, it is believed, the losses on both sides will be heavy. The Villistas were well armed and supplied with plenty of ammunition, obtained in looting village stores, in capturing Corralitos and Jiminez and from secret caches.

As a result of the reourrence of border raids it is believed that some of the 15,000 militiamen here will be given active patrol duty. These national guardsmen have only had routine drill and routine practice as yet.

A report was awaited from regular troops and a sheriff's posse who were rushed to Anapra, N. M., to investigate the raid on Perrine's ranch.
