More than 2,000 people were present In South Grants Pass at 11 o'clock this morning when the cere ony of setting the corner stake and putting shovel to the soil was staged. The moving picture man first filmed the great crowd with (he stores, of rushing autos, making this from the vantage point of the little shed built to house the tools for the contractors. Later the surveyors, directed 'by En gineer Harmon came into the picture with surveying Instruments, and Francis. M. Fauvre drove the stake that marks the site. To Miss Marlon Sabln, the charming young daughter of Chairman Geo. C.

The writer of this declared, "I intend to lead you a merry chase, and then bloW you all to hell. I want Governor Whitman, Captain Tunney and one man in Chicago."

Cleared of re sponsibility for the mysterious dis appearance of Mrs. Elolse Nelms Dennis and her sister, Beatrice Nelnis, Victor E. Innea and his wife must go to Atlanta,, Ga., and face a federal charge of using the malls to defraud. A year ago Innes was arrested on a ranch near Eugene, Ore. Taken to San Antonio, Texas, he denied respon sibility for the disappearance of the Nelms sisters. After hearing a maze of contradictory evidence, a grand Jury returned a not true bill on the murder charge. Innes was once United State dis trict attorney at Reno, Nev. There he met Mrs. Dennis and was her at torney in a divorce suit. Later he invested money for her and was said to have much of her money In bis possession at times. In May, 1914, Innes and his wife rented a cottage In San Antonio for a short time. Mrs. Dennis arrived In the city shortly afterward. She was accompanied by her sister Beatrice, who had openly expressed her suspicions after Innes' efforts to Induce her to Invest In Mexican securities. The sisters arrived In Son Antoiflo and then disappeared. Not a trace was ever found of them. An empty perfume bottle of the kind Mrs, Dennis used and bearing an Atlanta label, was found In the tack yard of the cottage Innes had occupied. Innes was shown to have bought a largo quantity of afld in a nearby drug store. NBut there was nothing to show that the sisters had been killed. Through the efforts of Marshall Nelms, brother of the missing wo men, Innes was arrested on a federal charge of using the malls to defriud Immediately after the grand Jury ILLINOIS TRACED!

She had been In good health and high spirits (or two months before her death, tambert said. After telling of her keeping com pany with Orpet for two years, Lam bert remarked: "We did not object; we merely hoped that the case would not be come serious." As for the cyanide of potassium used In the greenhouse of the estate were Lambert worked, he declared It was kept locked, and that Marian never went to the greenbouie unles she wanted a bouquet. He dented, as the defense bad suggested, that the girl used cyanide in developing pictures. A friend of tne Lamberts testified that the father had sobbed and thrown himself beside the girl's 'body.
