fliariues I'roni Gunboat Annapolis
i Engage Carranzistas Wlio Re
.,. fuse to Allow Them to
Land at Mazatlan.
WASHINGTON, Juno 19. A clash be
' tween Carranza soldiers and American
teamen from the gunboat Annapolis at
Mazatlan was called to the attention of
the Washington Government today by
Oeneral Carranza s ambassador here.
with a request that In the existing
tense situation no men be landed In
Mexico from American warships under
any circumstances.
The -incident, which oecurred yester
day, resulted in casualties on ' both
sides and in the capture by the Mex
icans of two American oficers, who.
after an explanation, were released, ac
cording to the report presented by the
ambassador. A dispatch from Admiral
winslow, of the Pacific fleet, announc
ing the capture of the men, made no
mention .of their release, but officials
assumed it had occurred after the mes
sage was sent. The only American in
jured was Boatswain's Mate I. M.
Laughter, whom the Admiral reported
was "gravely wounded."
Admiral's Report Brief.
Admiral Winslow sent only a brief
account of the incident, and Navy De
partment officials immediately re
quested a more detailed report. Late
tonight it ' had not been received.
Meantime there was no indication that
the ambassador's request would alter
in any way the Administration's plans
for protecting Americans in Mexican
coast towns, which would involve send
ing marines and bluejackets ashore to
bring off refugees should any emer
gency require it. More than a score of
American war vessels already are in
Mexican waters, en route there, or be
ing, held In readiness to go as refuge
chips.
SAN DIEGO, Cal June 19. An ul
timatum amounting practically to a
declaration of war against the United
States was served Sunday on Com
mander Arthur Kavanagh, of the gun
boat Annapolis, by General Flores,
Carranza governor of the state of
Elnaloa, according to a radio
. gram sent from the Annapolis at Maz
atlan and received here today by Ad
miral Winslow, commander-in-chief of
the Pacific fleet.
Americans Kept at Mazatlan.
Owing to the low-powered radio set
of the Annapolis, uifficulty has been
i experienced In communicating with the
f gunboat, but enough facts haye come
J through to indicate that General
Flores had taken a hostile stand
I against Americans and that it was his
S refusal to permit Americans to leave
' Mazatlan that resulted In the clash
Sunday between bluejackets of the
3 Annapolis and Mexicans characterised
T as Carranza soldiers. The substance
; of his ultimatum has not yet been re-
celved.
According to word received here, the
commander of the Annapolis advised
J all Americans in the vicinity of
Mazatlan to leave as soon as possible.
3, A boat from the war vessel contain
ing Ensign O. O. Kessing. Paymaster
Andrew Mowat and a number of blue
Jackets approached the wharf. Ensign
Kessing' being under orders from Com-
-, mander Kavanagh to arrange with the
Mexican authorities to get out all
Americans. Without provocation it Is
, , reported, the Mexicans 'opened fire on
the sailors, and Boatswain's Mate L. M.
Laughter was seriously wounded.
2' Americans returned the fire, and as
far as is known six Mexicans were
either killed or wounded. Earlier re-
ports that a drunken Japanese started
the trouble are not borne out In re
ports received here. Ensign Kessing
'' and Paymaster Mowat were taken pris
oners and sent to the fortress, but
later released on demands presented
.' to Flores by Commander Kavanagh.

WACKEGAN, I1L, June 19. Two tele
phone operators who occasionally re
lieved the monotony on the night watch
by "listening in" on the wire were un
expectedly produced by the state today
In the case of William H. Orpet, the
university student charged with the
murder of Marlon Lambert, a Lake
Forest high school girl.
The, new : witnesses, Mary Dunn and
Edith Kennedy, testified they heard
part of the conversation over the tele
phone wire between young Orpet and
Marlon on the night of February 8,
the night before her death. In sub
stance the conversation was, said to
have been: '-
Orpet-Hello. Marion. This is Will.
Are you -coming out?
Marlon No; "
Orpet (pleadingly) Oh, take a chance
and come on.."
Marion I guess I have taken cnances
enough with you.
Orpet Well, all right; I've got to
catch the 5 o'clock train back to Madi
on in the morning.
Testimony Long Withheld.
Mrs; Kennedy, who at that time was
nmarrieo. ana went uy ubi aucxiucu
name of Lihdke. and Miss Dunn testl
fled that this conversation took place
at about 8 o'clock In the evening or
the 8th. When they read of the deatn
f Marion thev SDoke to others In tne
mrt about it. and when she married.
Miss Lihdke told her husband, but the
Information did not reach State Attor-
ev Ralnh J. Dady until last baturday.
He informed James H. Wilkerson and
Ralph F. Potter, attorneys lor tne oe
fense. on Sunday, too late for them to
Drenare for cross-examination, and tne
girls will be recalled for this purpose.
Mrs. Kennedy and Miss Dunn both
said they knew Marion, and Mrs. Ken
edy said that she was acquainted witn
Omet's voice.
"He followed me Dome irom worn one
night and spoke to me at my ooor.
he said.
Whether Orpet really intended to re
turn to his studies by an early train
and later changed his mind is a point
yet to be cleared up and may not be
nless the defendant Becomes a wit
ness. Other witnesses toaay were uve
Rassmussen. Ethel Cole. Viola Frye
Katherine Robinson, Elizabeth White,
Adelaide Smith, James F. King and
Percy Longland.
Girl's Testimony Shaken.
The girls were among the 17 girls at
Marions birthday party February b.
The others testified previously. The
entire number except Josephine Davis
were agreed on one point impeaching
the testimony of Miss Davis, who spent
the night of February 8 with Marion,
and who was at the party. Josephine
testified that when she ana Marion
were alone at the party for a moment
Marion said that she was very unhappy
and that if Orput was untrue to her she
would kill herself.
All the others testified that they had
not seen the two alone together, and
were practically certain that they had
not been. All test tried Aianon snea
tears because Anna Paulson, one of
their number, had to break a custom of
years in not spending Marion's birth
day night with her, but did not cry at
any other time.
Longhand works on tne tyrai aic-
Cormick estate as a gardener, under
the direction of E. O. Orpet, father of
the defendant. He testified that In
January the elder Orpet instructed him
to dispose of some weakened cyanide
of potassium in crystal form which was
on a shelf in the greenhouse. For
various reasons he neglected to do so
until February 14 when the elder Or
pet again directed his attention to it.
He said that the aerenaam Knew 01
the presence of the poison in the greenhouse.

the lumber Interests of the state will
not enter into any agreement with the
striking longshoremen for a cessation
of the strike through which the long

that the work of the l,umber schooner
owners would be carried on as had
been done in the past.

firearms by nonunion workmen and
guards at the piers. Collector Davis
said tonight that he was preparing to
take the matter before the Federal

killing last night of Thomas Olsen, 1
union picket, said to have been un
armed, by men supposed to have been
nonunion workmen.
