Illinois . Courtroom Crowded to
Listen to Reading of 22 Mis
sives to Former Sweetheart
. Alleging True Iiove.
WAUKEGAN, 111.. June 22. William
Orpet. charged with tne murder of his
former sweetheart, Marion Lambert,
underwent the most trying; ordeal of his
trial today, when Attorney David R
Joslyn, assisting- in the prosecution,
read 23 of" his love letters written to
Marlon. The 22 remaining- ones will be
read tomorrow, after which the state
will rest Its case.
During: the presentation of evidence
bearing: more directly on the charge of
murder the defendant sat with his head
only slightly bent and was quick to
return a resentful glare at any of the
curious ones who stared at him, but
during the reading of his letters he sat
with his head bowed and one hand
shading his eyes from all observers,
even those who sat closest to him.
The missives cover a period of a year
and number 44 in all. They were writ
ten from Madison, Wis., where Orpet
was attending the University, to Marion
at Lake Forest.
The missives given the Jury today
were love letters only. They told of an
Infatuated boy pleading for more let
ters from Marion, seeking warmer ex
pressions from her of the love which
he alternately claimed or doubted.
Sho called him "dear" and he wanted
to be called "dearest." He begged her
to write oftener, cut his classes to
reach the postman the earlier, and
spoke of -his distress when the latter
had nothing for him from her.
Although the text of the letters was
published weeks ago, the courtroom
was crowded in anticipation of the re
cital. Mrs. E. O. Orpet, the boy's mother,
sat fixedly as she has sat every day of
the trial by his side, erect as a ramrod
and not missing a word. She had not
read them when published in the news
papers, and was visibly moved at the
passages where her son spoke of his
anxious waiting for the letters.
INTERVENTION IS URGED
Senator Works Brings Mexican
Crisis Before Senate.
WASHINGTON, June 22. Discussion
of the Mexican situation was precipi
tated In the Senate today by Senator
Works, of California, who called up his
resolution to authorize intervention,
had it read, and gave notice that unless
the foreign relations committee acted
soon he would move to take the matter
out of its hands.
The California Senator said he did
not want to bring on debata at this
time, but that action should not be
furthen delayed.
"I feel that the time has come now
when this matter should not be left
exclusively in the hands of the execu
tive branch of the Government." he
said. "Some action must now be taken
by Congress. I think it exceedingly
important if we are forced to enter
Mexico that we should do so with a
clear declaration by Congress as to our
purposes and intentions."
Chairman Stone replied that his com
mittee had taken no action and that lie
was not prepared to say what it
would do.
VETERANS PLAN UNION
li.v-Mcmher of First Infantry Are to

tion of the First Infantry. Oregon Na
tional Guard, delegates from each of
the old companies assembled last night
in Judge Gantenbein's department at
tne courthouse.

out, but it is believed a large per
centage of the former militiamen will
respond, and the movement promises to
bring about the reassembling of hun
dreds who served under the old colors.
With the outbreak of the Spanish
American War the First Infantry went
out of existence, many of its members
being muBtered into the volunteer
service with the formation of the Sec
ond Oregon Infantry, which went to
the Philippines.

E
DKLIVERYMA.V TO PAT PENALTY
FOR DRI.NKISG ABSINTHE.
Enlistment Causes Labor Shortage, So
W. Havens Will Work and Pass
, Five Sundays In JaiU
,
- The rigors of martial times were felt
in Municipal Court yesterday and as a
result Walter Havens, driver of a bak
ery delivery automobile, will serve a
five-day sentence on five successive
Sundays.
Havens admitted that one drink of
absinthe and the effects of that fas
tidious drink, were responsible for his
being found Jt Montana and Fremont,
asleep, oblivious to the fact that his
auto had run away with him and
plunged into a fence. Patrolman P. R.
Johnson found him by the wayside and
yesterday morning Acting Municipal
Judge Stadter levied the sentence.
The proprietor of the bakery for
which Havens works, appeared yester
day afternoon in Municipal Court and
made his plaint to Judge Langguth,
who had resumed the bench. He had
had three drivers, he related, when one
was summoned to his militia company
and another called East on important
business. The third was Havens, and.
now Havens was the court would see
that it was hopeless.
Couldn't some arrangement be made
whereby Havens might serve his five
day sentence on Sundays, and serve the
bakery's customers on week days?
"Certainly," agreed the accommodat
ing Judge, and it was so ordered. For
five Sundays to come Mr. Havens will
be engaged.
OUTSIDER TO GET PLACE
WILSON SAYS HUGHES1 SUCCESSOR
NOT IN CONGRESS.
President Realizes Need of Keeping
Democrats In Control of Senate.
Grfgorr Possibility.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 22. President Wilson, in
conference today with Senator Myers,
of Montana, intimated quite strongly
that he will not go to the Senate or
House of Representatives when he se
lects a successor to Justice Hughes on
the Supreme bench.
Senator Myers called to urge the ap
pointment of Senator Walsh. The
President told the Senator he thought
there was "plenty of good material out
side of Congress." and he thought it
poor policy to "take a good man out
of Congress to place him on the bench."
The President's statement is taken
to mean that he realizes the Democrats
will have a hard fight to retain con
trol of the Senate and he does not pro
pose to endanger the party control by
transferring any Senator to the Su
preme bench.
Nomination of Attorney-General W.
Gregory was said today by persons in
President Wilson's confidence to have
been virtually decided on. It is re
garded as certain that John W. Davis,
Solicitor-General, will be named Attorney-General.
Attorney-General Gregory discussed
with President Wilson for nearly an
hour late today the question of Mr.
Hughes' successor.
"Nothing has been decided yet," he
said as he left the White House.

some other towns. Some will be picked

tion to the Head Camp. The delegates
from Oregon and Washington will be
entertained at Salt Lake City, where
they will remain over a day.
Clerk J. O. Wilson, of Multnomah
Camp, said that the coming session
will be the most important the Head
Camp has ever held in respect to the
amendments proposed and the large
financial Interests involved. A move
ment for the establishment of a home1
for aged members and orphans will be
urged by the Portland delegates. They
hope to have this home located at
some point in Oregon near Portland
and it will be modeled somewhat after
the homes of the Oddfellows' order.

"Humanitarlanism Is greater than

Dyott at the union meeting ofall the
Portland Congregational Churches at
the First Church at Park and Madison
streets last night. The meeting was
largely, in the interest of the Ar
menian relief and measures were
taken to aid the Armenians. "The
first person to give to the Armenian
fund in Portland was a Jew. and singu
larly the Armenians were the first
Christians. That afflicted people look
to Americans as the only ones in the
world who can help them," said Dr.
Dyott.
Several hundred persons represent
ing every Congregational church of the
city and. a large number of. the pastors
were there. Prayers were offered by
Rev. W. H. Meyer, of University Park
Church; Dr. W. O. Cantner. Pilgrim
Church; Rev. A. C. Moses. Waverlelgh
Heights Church, and Rev. George Ed
ward Lewis, Highland Church. B. S.
Huntington, secretary of the Congre
gational Club, reported conditions in
Armenia as described In the talks by
Dr. Clarence D. Usher, a returned Amer
ican medical missionary, who spoke in
Portland recently.
At the suggestion of H. G. Coltpn.
secretary of the City Missionary Club,
and Rev. A. C. Moses, a resolution was
adopted to have an offering taken for
the Armenian fund at the communion
service July 2.
During the Summer union prayer
meetings of the Portland Congrega
tional church will be held at the vari
ous Congregational churches in rotation.
