ORPET BOUND OVER TO FACE GRAND JURORS CHICAGO, Feb. 28. Will Crpet was formally bound over to await the action of the Lake county grand jury in the matter of the mysterious death of Marion Lambert in a preliminary hearing conducted by Magistrate Henry Bickerman today at Lake Forest. Orpet was brought from Waukegan with II. C. Hanna, his attorney, and bheriff Griffin. Looking ruddier and much more steady than he has at any lime since he came from Madison, Wis., he was led directly to the office of the chief of police. Magistrate Bickerman in his own office prepared the order and took it to the chief's office and read it to Mr. Hanna. Hanna nodded his head; the order was transferred to the books and Orpet was ready for another ride back to his Waukegan cell. Nothing was said about bail as Magistrate Bickerman had learned from the attorneys for the defense that they did not desire to have the prisoner released. This, according to Hanna. was because of the brief lapse of time between now and the meeting of the grand jury next Monday.

RUSSIANS TO MAKE MOSCOW CAPITAL PETROGRAD, Feb. IS.

LANSING IS U. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S. It was learned that Count Von Bernstorff did most of the talking at the interview with Secretary Lansing today. Secretary Lansing received his memorandum and listened to all that the German ambassador had to say. The secretary took the position that the German suggestions contained in the memorandum were matters for further consideration by the United States. That they were unsatisfactory in the extreme, he did not say, although there was little doubt that this was the impression that the German ambassador carried off. Baron Eric Zwiedineck, the Austrian charge followed the German ambassador to the state department and presented the position of his government which was a duplicate of the German position. Secretary Lansing declined positively to say whether he would now direct TOBACCO WELCOMED BY MEN ON FRONT BERLIN, Feb. 28 The Vereinigte Tabak-Zeitungen, the official organ of the German tobacco men, published a number of letters from German and Austro-Hungarian army leaders on the value of the tobacco for the soldiers in the field. General von Boseler, the conqueror of Antwerp and Novo Georgievsk and present governor general of Poland, writes: "No gift from home is greeted with greater joy by our officers and men than a package of tobacco, cigars or cigarettes. Tobacco is our best friend in the field, as it helps to lighten our sufferings and shortens many sad hours. "It is of the highest importance that the good spirits of the troops be kept up at all times. In this difficult task the leaders have no better aid than tobacco. I do not know what we would do if we .should suddenly be deprived of this stimulant." GAINS IRON CROSS BERLIN, Feb. 2S The general staff reports officially that Corporal Wilhelm Nigge of Sassenheim, has been awarded the Iron Cross of the first class for exceptional bravery. During one of the battles in the Vosges mountains a French company, after a violent attack, had been driven back to its trenches by the fire of the German cannons and machine guns, but at once began to prepare h new asault by a terrible bombardment. The German position was showered with a hail of shells and within half an hour two German batteries were silenced. 'Only one gun remained in action, served by Corporal Nigge, the last unwouuded man of the batteries. More than two hours the heroic cor poral kept up his fire. Repeatedly he had to leave his sheltered position to drag up ammunition, but he stuck to his gun until reinforcements arrived. His bravery saved the day. The batteries weni into action again and soon afterwards the French bombardment stopped. . .

SILENT S. POSITION communication to the Teutonic powers saying that the United States accepted the declaration of a new submarine war as a virtual repudiation of the pledges in the Arabic and Lustiana cases on the part of Germany and of the Ancona promises on the part of Austria. Every effort was made by the secretary, presumably at the Bug gestion of the president to prevent any information of the plans of this govern ment leaking. $212,891 CHECK ISSUED BY CITY TO BUY L. H. P. The Second National bank of this city 'this afternoon received a check for $212,891 issued by the city of Richmond in favor of the Richmond Light, Heat and Power company as payment in full for the electric plant of the company, which the city takes over March 1. This check will be placed on deposit for the company until claimed by its representatives. The Second National was named depository for this check by the Indiana public utilities commission. BRITISH OFFICERS DISCARD UNIFORMS LONDON, Feb. 28. Not even the war can quite overcome the objection of Englishmen to any sort of uniform. One would faucy that officers home from the trenches would rush at least to display their khaki, but precisely the opposite is the case. The first desire of the returned "nut", to judge by appearances, is to change into mufti. Sick leave is the only reason which the war office recognizes as a valid one for discarding uniform, but one cannot help, fancying that the point 13 stretched a little, to judge by the prevalence of black coats at restaurant dinners and theatres. The same taste for civilian attire is noticeable in private houses, where a wearer of the Victoria Cross will astonish his dinner partner by arriving in black. A good many society women object strongly to the practice and talk of founding an Anti-Mufti League binding hostesses to receive no officers out of kahki. 8 SONS FOR COUNTRY. LONDON, Feb. 28. sacrifice is told by -A mother's selfthe Rev. F. W. Newland, a canvasser under Lord i Derby's scheme. He visited the house of a poor woman in St. Luke's Finsbury, and in reply to his question regarding her son's enlistment, she said: "I had nine boys. Eight have gone to the war; four are dead, two are wounded. But if the King wants my remaining boy tell him he can have him even if I must go to the workhouse."

ENTENTE POWER ANSWERS NOTE WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. The first reply from any of the entente allies to Secretary Lansing's proposal that they all disarm their merchant vessels, has reached the state department. Secretary Lansing today admitted that he has received a formal communication from one of the entente allies on the matter, but he refused point-blank to state which power it was from or just what constituted the answer. It was generally believed that the reply was from Franco and that the government stated that it could not discuss the matter. Officials pointed out that France has never armed any of her merchant vessels and that therefore she could refuse to discuss I,ansing's proposal with propriety. Confidential advices have reached the department, it was learned today, that Great Britain has completed her formal answer to Secretary Lansing's request, but is withholding it until the Italian foreign office has competed its draft. It is understood that both of these governments want to make their answer a joint one. NO NEW DIPHTHERIA GASES IN SCHOOL The state board of health has return ed to Dr. A. L. Bramkamp. medical inspector, returns on all of the 150 diphtheria "cultures" with exception of a half dozen. No new cases of diphtheria were disclosed by analysis made in the state laboratory. All cultures proved negative. Dr. Bramkamp and Dr. J. E. King will continue to send cultures to the state board until all possibilities of further spread of the . disease in Richmond schools have been eliminated. More than a hundred pupils are absent from school. Of this number only a few are actually afflicted with diphtheria, the others representing children who were sent home with sore throats or colds. Fumigation of all rooms in which diphtheria cases, are discovered will be ordered. LAMAR ESCAPES JAIL WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. David Lamar the "Wolf of Wall street" won his fight in the Supreme court of the United States today against being sent to prison at once for having fraudulently impersonated a congressman. The court granted a writ reinstating hi3 appeal and denied the application of the government to have a mandate which would have sent Lamar to prison at once.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 Overshadowed so completely by the international situation that it has scarcely been noticed, one of the bitterest fights congress has ever seen is now embroiling the senate on conservation. More than two weeks steady debato has already been devoted to the question and the struggle has now become sa involved that the end is nowhere in sight. The issues center upon the Shield's bill to regulate the construction of dams across navigable streams. The measure has met with violent opposition from the conservationists who declare that it is forfeited by the water power concessions to private interests and that it also .fails to provide adequately for the return of these rights to the government at the expiration of the lease.
