Unofficially, the information -was
gleaned 'thSITthe board- has -not -yet
received orders warranting a general

at the border grows more serious
immediately.

TWO UNEXPECTED WITNESSES
Waukegan, 111., June 19. Two tel
ephone operators, who occasionally
relieved the monotony of the night
watch by "listening in" on the wire,
were unexpectedly produced by the
state today in the case of William H.
Orpet, the university student charged
with the murder of Marion Lambert,
a Lake Forest high school girl.
The new witnesses, Mary Dunn
aa-id Edith Kennedy, testified that
they heard part of the conversation
over the 'telephone wire between
young .Orpet and Marion on the night
of February 8, the flight before her
death.
Substance of Talk.
In substance the conversation was
said to have been:
Orpet Hello, Marion. This is Will
Are you coming out?
Marion No.
Orpet (pleadingly) Oh, take a
chance and come on.
Marion I guess I have taken
chances enough with, you. I think my
mother was wise last time I was
sick. '
Orpet I'll give you something to
fix that.
Marion No, I can't.
Orpet Well, all right; I've got to
catch the 5 o clock train back to Mad
ison in the morning.
' Tells Her Husband,
Mrs. Kennedy, who at that time
was unmarried and went bi her maid
en name of Lihdke, and Miss Dunn
testified that this conversation took
place at about 8 o'clock in the eve
ning of the 8th. When they read of
the death of Marion they spoke to
others in the office about it and when
she married Miss Lihdke told her
husband, but the information did not
reach State's Attorney Ralph J.

with Orpet's voice. i
"He followed me home from work
one night and spoke to me at my
door, she said. T
Point Not Cleared Up.
According to letters which passed
between Orpet and Marion, the
former believed that Marion might be
in a delicate condition, although evi
dence since brought to light shows
that she was not
Whether Orpet intended to return
to his studies by an early train and
later changed his mind is a point yet
to be cleared u; and may not be un

White, Adelaide Smith; James F.
King and Percy Longland.
The girls were among the seven
teen girls at Marion's birthday party,

previously. The entire number ex

one point impeaching the testimony
of Miss Davis, who spent the night of
February 8, with Marion, and who
was at the party.
Josephine's Testimony.
Josephine testified that when' she
and Marion were alone -at the party

WILSON REJECTS
DEMANDS MADE
BY MEXICAN CHIEF
Note to Carranza Refusing to
Withdraw American Troops
Will Go Forward at ;
Once.
GUARDSMEN ARE H0BHIZ1TO
Governors of All States Respond to
Order Issued by War Depart
ment Sunday.
CLASH AT PORT OF MAZATLAN
Washington, D. C, June 19.
While, the 'whole country was astir
today with the mobilization of the
National ,Guard for border duty,
President Wilson directed that his
reply rejecting General Carranza's
demand for the recall of American
troops from Mexico go forward im
mediately. ,
In refusing to withdraw the troops
the United States reaffirms the
friendly intentions of the United
States toward the de facto govern
ment in Mexico and sharply rebukes
General Carranza for unwarranted
charges and insinuations of bad .faith
contained in hif communication.
President Wilson's firm resolve to
keep the armed forces of the United
States in Mexico until such time as
the Mexican government polices the
border region so thoroughly that
bandit raids into American territory
are improbable is understood to be
clearly stated in the note:
Will Send Note at Once. '
Secretary Lansing announced that
the note would be dispatched during
the day, but would not discuss its
terms- or say how it would be trans
mitted. It had been planned to send
it by special messenger to the Mex
ican capital. Recent developments
along the border and General Tre
vino's warning to General Pershing,
however, caused the wisdom of this
plan to be doubted and there were
indications today that the reply
would go by telegraph to Special
Agent Kodgers in Mexico City for
delivery to General Carranza.
While these diplomatic steps were
in process, a force of National
Guardsmen which will not be less
than 100,000 strong and may exceed
that number by many thousand, was
being mustered into the service of
the United States. Governors of all
states had replied before noon today
to instructions -sent last night that
their allotment of troops be immedi
ately called out - In each instance
Secretary Baker was .firmed that
the men were arming and proceeding
to their mobilization points. -.
i : Mora Warshtyis to Coast '
Prom- both coasts, also, additional
naval vessels were under orders to
proceed, tp -Mexican waters - for the
relief of Americans who may gather
frdm the interior. Only light craft"
and transports are engaged in this
service, if necessary, they will be1
able to go tp shallow waters after -refugees.
Considerable axiety is felt
for the safety of American citizens,
of whom there are still about 5,000
in Mexico. M
Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambas
sador designate, submitted to Secre
tary Lansing a report of a clash at
Mazatlan yesterday between Mexican
soldiers and a boatload of men from
the American gunboat Annapolis.
Later a formal request from Gen- '
eral Carranza was transmitted, urging
that no men from American warships
be permitted to land, even unarmed,
during the present disturbe'd state of
public opinion, -Admiral Winsiow is
trying to reach the Annapolis by
radio for a report on the incident.
Instructions to naval commanders
in Mexican waters have been to allow
no shore liberty to their men and to
send only such men ashore as is nec
essary to get supplies and mail.
Diplomatic officials were much
stirred today by the possibility of ac-
tual hostilities between the Uniud
States and Mexico, which they saw in
the "mobilization of the National '
Guard. Many have nationals in Mex
ico u whose safety they wish to pro
vide. 1 ' Clash at Mazatlan.
A communication' from the Mexi- .
can embassy announcing that there
had been a clash between a boat crew
from the Annapolis and Carranza sol
diers at Mazatlan yesterday and ask
ing that in the present tense situa
tion no men be .. landed in Mexico
from American warships in any cir
cumstances was delivered to the
State department today by an cm- ,
bassy secretary.
The secretary sought an engage
ment with Secretary Lansing for the
