Hovering between life and death, Miss Bessie Lusk, a normal school teacher of Waukesha, Wis., made this assertion. The man in the case is Dr. David Roberts, a veterinary surgeon, "whose wife Miss Lusk kill-

"I thought his mentality matched mine that his conception of ideas was pure and his intellectuality a rock of ages; but he is a charlatan. He has sacrificed me and his wife on the altar of common desire," she said. Dr. Roberts denies having sought the teacher's love.

The Red Cross Fund Passes the $100,000 Mark Enthusiastic Scenes at Banquet When Total is Given Out.
Cary "came througrh." In a wonderful sixth day drive netting 147.122.72 swelled to proportions unexpected the -ity raised its Red Cross fund and is still going. Amid wild cheering of two hundred "plugKers" at the final banquet last night at the Commercial club the grand total was announced. Someone struck up "Garyland. My Garyland" ail lifted their voices. The big room fairly shook with the tremendousness of the volume of fervor. "Garyland" was never sung before like it was last night.. Sedate business men, factory superintendents, their wives, sons and daughters and the "young blood" of Gary all there flung Red Cross banners In the air. Napkins were thrown hiph. The big banquet hall was near a pandemonium as the great total $100,092.97 was given. Only $35,000 was asked of Gary. Even the most optimistic pnognostlcator had hardly dared to venture Gary would top the goal Saturday night. Women "Drive." Compliment the ladies of Gary all of them, especially the members of the twenty energetic Red Cross teams in the final pull for funds saved the day, raising, 4,145. Monday. Their work has been the admiration of the campaign. Daily the workers combed sections of the city and Monday in one last effort they topped the men's teams for the first time during the six day campaign, the men returning, J1.6S0.35. The men's teams, captained by Mr. Fisher, totalled $17,462.74. for the week. The women's teams, captained by Mrs. Hay, turned in $10,872.86. Seven-tenths Prom Employes. Seven-tenths of the grand total was raided through the mill employes of Gary. Wonderful records have been made by the various Gary industries. At the banquet last nisht General Superintendent Gleason of the Gary Works said that the total from the steel company for Monday was "about $20,600" just as most of us would say "about 20 cents." Other mill heads addressed" the zealous banqueters. All cheerily pronounced their "bit" in the campaign small and said they would gladly "aid Uncle

ARRANGING THE DRAFT - DETAILS
INDIANAPOLIS. June 26. The State Council of Defense, through its publicity committee, today issued the following: Copies of the proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson, Issued in reference to the operation of the new law to Increase the military establishment of the Vnited States, generally known as the conscription law, have been forwarded to the ninety-two county councils of Indiana by Chairman Will H. Hays of the State Council of Defense. Accompanying the proclamation Is a renewal of the request conveyed In a bulletin recently issued by the State Council, that appropriate patriotic celebrations be arranged in every county in the state, the primary purpose of which is to arouse the public mind to a. fuller appreciation of the fact that we are at war with Germany, and the significance of this fact. It is specifically directed by Chairman Hays that the reading of the president's proclamation constitutes a distinctive feature of each of these celebrations. Reports have already been recelvefl by the State Council of the arrangements In a number of the counties. The educational section of the state council has undertaken the task of supplying speakers, where there Is need, and with the co-operation of the educators of the state, it is believed every call for an able speaker will be supplied. In not a few cases the community spirit usually manifested by the discharge of fire-works and pyrotechnics will take on a vastly different form. The people will gather in a more seri
ous mood, and receive a baptism of patriotic ferver that is expected to outlast the usual effervescence of the fourth. The "safe and sane" propaganda has given way this year to one of "sew and save."

John Sopicich of Indiana Harbor, who was recently arrested and turned over to Federal Inspector Bragdon, because of alleged treasonable language, yesterday had another charge placed against
him and if the word of some of the best citizens of that end of the city Is to be taken at its face value there is no r.nKtion but that Sopicich is a pro
nounced pro-German. Considerable important evidence developed against him yesterday when solicitations were being made for the Red Cross lund. Mr. Sopicich was ap
proached by some of his own country
men and the nature of the organization ith thn Dumose of the solicitation.
was placed thoroughly and intelligently
before him. He refused to mane any donation whatever. Later he was approached by a second committee and at that time advised that he already given $5.00 to the first committee. Soon after he was met. on the street by representatives or both committees and was compelled to admit that he had made no donation whatever. It is said that Andy Klobuchar, John Tapajna. John Campian, Nick Mayor and L. W. Saric were present and that he said to them "To h 1 with the American Red Cross and to h 1 with the American government. I do not give a d m for the American government; the United States has more money than I have." L. W.' Saric said this morning that there was no disposition to frame up anything against Sopfeieh, but that. In his opinion, the city and federal authorities should know the attitude of this man In order that the necessary precautionary measures might be taken. Mr. Sopicich is a Croatian, but he is one of only our or five Croatians among the large number in the Harbor but what are altogether loyal to this country. There are men In the Harbor that are also willing to take the stand and testify that the Sopicich saloon at 34 90 Guthrie . street disregarded the requests of Mayor Callahan on May 1st and kept open during the entire period when exercises and parade were in progress on the occasion of the departure of enlisted soldiers.
