ORPET TRIAL NEARING CLOSE

WAUKEGAN, 111., June 12. With the cry of one big convention over, Lake county settled back to watch two

of opposing teams of attorneys battle for the life of Will Orpet on trial charged with killing Marian Lambert. Interest in the trial was enhanced, if possible, by the general expectation that the state will bring its case to a climax during the week. Frank Lambert, the aged father of the girl, whom the student is accused of murdering, has completed his testimony and he was the prosecution's trump card. Everett Orpet, father of William Orpet, resumed the stand at the opening of the trial today for another round with the state attorney. They are seeking to have the witness identify love letters of his son. So far their efforts have a-ailed but little. The father steadfastly contended that he could not identify the writing as that of his son.

THINGS BOYS LEARN ON SUMMER OUTING

When a peacock sheds its feathers

was one of the things that the boys learned on the Y. M. C. A. summer

camping trip last year. This was found by J. J. Somerville this morning when he presented a short list of questions to several of the boys who attended the camp last year, on what they learned at camp. How 'possums carry their young in a sack like the kangaroo was another things that the youngsters learned. Several of the hoys had never seen leaches, ' and what chiggers are was impressed firmly upon the minds of several. The campfire with its stories and eats was voted the favorite passtime, although it was closely seconded by athletics of various kinds. Ten boys have signed for this year's camp.

DEMOCRAT

SOLDIER IS KILLED

FOULKE BELIEVES

Continued From Page One Hughes in accepting the Republican presidential nomination. Mr. Foulke said that, in his opinion, Colonel Roosevelt would largely determine whether Justice Hughes was to receive Progressive support in the coming campaign. "I believe if Colonel Roosevelt approves of the Hughes candidacy the rank and file of his party will be content to abide by hia decision," he said. 'lt is not at all certain, however that Colonel Roosevelt will endorse the action of the Republican national convention. Referred to Letter. Mr. Foulke referred to a letter he had written on May 18 to George W. Perkins, of the Progressive national committee, in which he said: "It seems to be quite probable that Hughes may be the nominee of the Republican convention. it would seem to me that our convention ought to act Instantly If it should learn of Hughes' nomination and should immediately nominate Roosevelt by acclamation and leave with him the determination of the question. whether, after further knowledge of Justice Hughes' intentions, he should support him or run himself upon the Progressive ticket. If we should find ourselves confronted with the emergency of Hughes' nominationa and importance of instantaneous action before he shall have declared his future policy seem to me vital, and I think Mr. Roosevelt himself Avould be better qualified later on, to do what circumstances demand, than the Progressive convention would be to take final action." Foulke Signs Telegram. That Mr. Foulke and other Indiana Progressive leaders would be well pleased to have Colonel Roosevelt accept the Progressive nomination for president is Indicated by the following telesram sent to Mr. Roosevelt by Mr. Foulke, .W. C. Bobbs and W. A. Bastion, representing the Indiana delegation: "In the Indiana delegation every man in every district insists on maintaining the Progressive organization and nominating a state ticket at its convention June 22, and believing that you will not abandon your devoted supporters in all that you have stood for, we trust that you will lead them in the fighti feeling that you are the one and only man who can make effective your ideals of Americanism 'and preparedness."

DWIGGINS ATTENDS L P. A. SESSIONS

FOUNTAIN CITY, Ind., June 12. Miss Marie Keene has returned home from Oxford, O., where she has been attending Miami university. Miss Keene graduated this year.. . . .Mrs. Tom Bond is visiting her daughter at Fort Wayne this week Miss Esther Brooks is visiting her sister, Mrs. Charles E. Clark of Bluffton Miss Stella Hunt has again resumed her duties in the telephone exchange, after an absence of several weeks on account of the illness of her sister... . . Ancil Dwiggins is attending the National T. P. A. convention at Lafayette, as a delegate from Post C The Helping Hand society met with Mrs. Woody Thursday afternoon.

Continued Front Page One 1 idest - Wilson in his own powerful phraseology. , - - The resolutions committee, which will deliberate on the ' platform and recommend it to the convention will be headed by Senator Stone, of Missouri, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee,"- according to present plans. There developed today some opposition to Senator Stone, because of his pronounced disagreement with the president's foreign policy in the German submarine dispute, but this was regarded as negligible.

Senator Walsh of Montana, was inclined to claim the first place on the

resolutions committee but the leaders

planned to give the place to the Mis

souri senator. Conferences are Held.

Senators Stone, Walsh, Reed of Mis

souri, Hollis of New Hampshire, and

Representative Carter Glass of Vir

ginia, all of whom considered the platform devised in Washington, held desultory conferences on the document today. Senator Stone brought to St. Louis a copy of the tentative draft submitted to the president, but today's conferences were recognized to be of

little avail pending the arrival of the president's final draft. The platform plans particularly put up to President Wilson were those dealing with the foreign situation and the European war, and with the Mexican situation. Outside of these issues, the matter treated in the platform will be dealt with very briefly. Only three issues promise to develop a fight in the resolutions committee. They are national prohibition, woman suffrage and the Philippine polity. Rule Out Suffrage. The first two will not be included in the platform under the carefully laid plans of the leaders, although there was deep apprehension today as to the attitude to be taken on this matter by William Jennings Bryan when he arrives, simultaneously with the president's platfom on Tuesday. The leaders are prepared to make every effort to placate the former secretary of state, and they are optimistic as to the outcome. He is expected to make some effort to have the prohibition and suffrage planks included in the declarations of faith. Whether Bryan will take any active part in the deliberations of the resolutions committee or the convention itself is doubtful. He is not a delegate, and would have to have a proxy , of both a delegate and an alternate to secure a place.

.Continued From Page One.. the multitude. But the extreme harmony that is in evidence does not satisfy tie leaders. . If these men who are handling the preliminaries for the national. convention can start a fight they will be well pleased. v They frankly admitted this in their private i' conversations here today w They don't want a regular knock-down and drag-out convention conflict. But they are greatly opposed to the present apathy covering the party representatives arriving here. , They fear that because of over-confidence among the party rank and file throughout the

country it may be hard to get the campaign started with: the kind of hurrah necessary to assume the offensive from the. start, something .-. that, the President Land his political advisers desire very. much. Face Vigorous Campaign. The national committeemen from the east have made it very plain to their colleagues from the west and south that the nomination of Justice Hughes means that the party will have to keep a solid front and he ready for, a much more carefully planned line of attack than was confronted four years ago. These committeemen continue to express ;;; confidence that Colonel Roosevelt will maintain his position of refusing to run at the head of the Progressive ticket, even though he shall eventually decide not to support the candidacy of Justice Hughes. So they

would be very glad to start a real fight to stir up interest, but to make it; a fight that can be smoothed out without leaving serious bitterness behind. ' How successful they will be is hard to say. On the, surface harmony never has been so pronounced. Old time rivals have shaken hands and buried their differences.
