GUILTY OF HAVING

Lower Body of Congress Sustains
"Contempt" Charges Brought
Against Federal District
Attorney.
HE 13 ORDERED INTO ' CUSTODY
Sergeant-at-Anns Ordered to Bring
Prosecutor Before Bar of
" the Chamber.
PENALTY REPRIMAND LIKELY
' Washington, June 20. Contempt
charges against H. Snowden Mar-,
shall; 'United States district attorney
at New York)jbecause of his criticism
of a house subcommittee, were sus
tained by the house'today by a vote of
208 to 85, and the srgesnt-at-arms
was ordered to take Mr. Marshall into
custody and bring him before the bar
of the house.
It is expected that a public repri
mand will be the sentence imposed on
Mr. Marshall when he is brought be
fore the bar of the house. The action
is theoutgrowth of impeachment pro
ceedings brought against him by Rep
resentative Buchanan.
Will Issue Warrant.
Speaker Clark probably will issue
a warrant tomorrow, but some of Mr.
Marshall's friends said tonight he
might anticipate its service and ap
pear voluntarily. Although house lead
ers have indicated they would be sat
isfied with a reprimand, a more se
vere punishment, including imprison
ment, might be imposed should the
house bo decide. A vote on that
question will be taken later.
, An all-day debate preceded the vote
today, Representative Moon, chair
man of a select committee which in
vestigated the -contempt charges,
leading the fight against Mr. Mar
shall. He declared the district attor
ney had offered an "outrageous in
sult to the house." Representatives
n,r nfTvc Wohh of North Car
olina and other members said failure
to sustain the charges would consti
tute a repudiation of the subcommit
tee and an endorsement of Mr. Mar
shall's attack on it.
Natural Reply to Make.
Representative Graham of Penn
sylvania, defending the district at
torney, said the subcommittee had
opened a public publicity campaign
to which Mr. Marshall's statements
were btu the natural reply of an in
dignant man.
Tries ubcommittee naa errea, nc
said, in opening neanngs in new
. lorK ami 111 irymg iu uuidiu iiiiu,-
mation-irom members of the grand
jury there.'
The vote, was not partisan.
h , The impeachment proceedings were
started by Representative Buchanan
after the district attorney's investi
gation of the alleged unneutral ac-
tivities of Labors' National' peace
council, which resulted in the indict
ment of Representative Buchanan
and others. Other charges against
Mr. Marshall related to the general
conduct of his office and particularly
his conduct of the Rae Tanzer per
jury case.
Marshall's Letter.
Contempt charges were preferred
after the district attorney had' writ
ten a letter to the investigaion sub
commitee branding its work as "ir
regular and extraordinary" and de
claring it was attempting to protect
a member of congress by ruining a
district attorney..
Although the subcommittee has rec
ommended that the impeachment
charges bed ropped, Representative
Buchanan has asked for a hearing
before the full judiciary committee
and both he and Mr. Marshall will
be permitted to make statements Fri
day. Nine Persons Hurt

points northwest of Lutsk and are
fighting their way forward, the war
office announced today.
Attacks on Verdun Repulsed.
Paris, June 20. Three German at
tacks, made last night on the French
positions northwest of Hill No. 321,
were repulsed by the fire of the
French machine guns, according to
an official statement issued today by
the war office. The Germans are

4 j-"Auetrian-Fte to Carpathians.
London, June 19. Having captured
Czernowitz, capital of Bukowina, the
Russians are well on their way from
that city and from ' various points
along the River Pruth, driving the
Austrians before them toward the
Sereth river and the Carpathian
mountain passes. Numerous addi
tional prisoners have been captured
by the Russians in their drive, and
more guns, machine guns, ammuni
tion and foodstuffs have fallen into
their hands.
Heavy fighting still is in progress
to the north, in Galicia, and Volhynia,
with the Russians generally on the of
fensive, but with the Austrians and
the Germans tenaciously battling
against their further advance.
Temperance Play
Given State Sunday
School Delegates
Falls City, Neb., June 20. (Special
Telegram.) The State Sunday school
convention started out on a three
days' session with its ardor some
what dampened"ty the heavy rain, but
from all appearances the attendance
will reach the expectations of the
committee, who had arranged for
from 1,500 to 2,000 delegates.
The city is gayly decorated in rain
bow colors, and the delegates are be
ing met at the trains and taken to
the park where the sessions are to be
held. After rgeistering, boy scouts
escorted thenuto places of entertain
ment. The first session was held at
the Christian church this afternoon
with a large attendance.
Rev. William A. Brown of Chicago,
international field secretary, address
ed the conference.
For the entertainment of the guests
the pageant of the "States," a tem
perance play, will be given by 100
Falls City people at the .city Auditor
ium tonight.
Ranks of Militia
Rapidly Filling
Although recruiting is moving for
ward rapidly officers of the guard
are glad to get fresh applications.
The companies . are filing up but there
is still a place for any who can meet
qualifications. No company will be
sent to the mobilization camp until
it has at least sixty-five men up to
standard. The officers expect to have
about eighty-five men to a compaany
before going to Ashland. This will
allow for a cut by the stricter physi
cal examination of the federal in
spection staff and still have the com
paany above the minimum.
UNION EVANGELISTIC

STATE GDARD HAS

GUARD READY FOR .
CALL TO MOBILIZE

nv
. .13
Lincoln, June 2&aV(Sipecia1.)
Watchful waiting is being practiced
by the state administration with re
gard to calling out the Nebraska
guard to a mobolization point.
While many companies have been
in readiness to move at a moment's
notice for twenty-four hours, delay
inVeceiving from the War depart
ment definite orders as to a mobiliza
tion point is holding back the state
department from taking definite ac
tion.
Looks Very Warlike,
The state house has put on a war
like appearance. Messenger boys
have been flitting up and down, hith
er and thither carrying messages
from headquarters to be sent to the
different commands and bringing an
swers from those anxious to know
when there will be something doing.
Messages from several points almost
demand that they be allowed to form
companies for actual service, and
were it necessary to raise a force of
twice the number called for it is
probable that it could be done in
three or four days.
Must Go Slowly.
However, the department faces the
proposition of going slow, mighty
slowly. Thanks to an economical leg
islature the department is practically
out of funds even to carry on the
preliminary arrangements for getting
ready. Companies have been ordered
to mobilize at their home stations,
and the state is practically at an ex
pense of about $1,500 a day from the
time orders were sent out.
Guard Crippled by Economy.
The Jast legislature was so befit on
making a record for economy that
the guard has been placed in a prac
tically crippled condition during the
present biennium. Had the leaders
in that unhappy session h.vl their
way the guard would today be prac
tically of little account and it would
have cost thousands of dollars to
have put the state in a position to
give heed to the call to arms..
Until the guard is mustered into
the United States service the state
will 4iave to furnish the financial sup
port necessary to carry on the work,
and the question which is now troub
ling Governor Morehead and General
Hall is where will it come from.
u Must Use Credit.
Of course the government will1
later on reimburse the state for its
expense in mobilizing the guard at
this time, but present .conditions- in
dicate that guard headquarters wilt
have to get supplies on credit and
pay accordingly instead of going into
the market and getting them an the
cash basis, which in the amount
which will be needed would make
considerable difference to the state
in the period necessary to get the
guard up to the requirements.
Prohibition Law
Of Arkansas Again
Is Declared Valid
Little Rock, Ark., June 20. The
Arkansas supreme court last night for
the second time sustained the validity
of the state-wide prohibition legis
lation passed by the last legislature
and which went into effect January
1. The case was that of Charles
Miller of Lafayette county, who was
convicted of selling liquor and sen
tenced to serve one year in the peni
tentiary, the only penalty permissible
under the law. The appeal alleged
that the prohibition law is unconsti
tutional because it denies to the court
the right to suspend sentence after
conviction. The supreme court held
that the legislature had the right to
enact such a law because there is
no provision in the state constitution
forbiddidng such legislation.
German Banker Is
Detained at El Paso
El Paso, Tex., June 20. Frederick
Griese, a German banker of Mexico
City, was under detention by agents
of the Department of Justice here to
day, charged with .violation of the
United States neutrality laws. Griese
was prevented fast night from cross
ing into Mexico.
Agents of the Department of Jus
tice are maintaining secrecy regard
ing the exact allegations against
Griese pending investigation. It is
said, however, that his detention is
an outcome of various reports re
garding the spreading of anti-American
propaganda in Mexico. He spent
last night in jail, but was released
today. Meantime Washington has
been notified.
Special Den Show
For Swedes Tonight
Seven hundred tickets are to be
issued for the visiting Swedish sing
ers for the special entertainment and
initiation at Ak-sar-ben den tonight
The best estimates yesterday after
noon were that this would be the
number of visitors to ride Samson's
goat. . .
It has been announced that there
is to be no show at the den on the
evening of Monday July 3. It has not
been decided whether a show and
initiation will be held any other day
during that week or not, but the pro
gram of that evening is to be dis
pensed with because the next day
will be the Fourth of July.

Nebraska
Militia Awaits Order
From Governor to Move, But
Commander-in-Chief Waits
on U. S. Call.
CENTRAL CAMP NOT SPECIFIED
Troops Probably Will Be Asked to
Mobilize at Ashland Rifle
Range.
MOREHEAD IS FOR ASHLAND
Nebraska National guardsmen are
ready to move at a moment's notice,
messages to that effect reaching Ad
jutant General Hall at Lincoln yes
terday from company commanders
throughout the state.
Dispatches from Lincoln were to
the effect that the military men be
lieved that while the hjavy rain of
Monday night would encumber the
moving of troops somewhat, and also
the getting in readiness the state
camp,' everything would be in ship
shape a the proper 'ime.
Governor Favors Ashland.
All indications point to the camp
being located at Ashland, although
efforts are being made by Lincoln
business men to have it located at
the Sate fair grounds in the capital
city. The government authorities
l.-ve full power to decide in the matte:-,
but it is believed that they will
be influenced somewhat by the wishes
of Governor Morehead, who favors
the Ashland range because of the
equipment already installed. The lo
cation of the camp will probably be
decided upon today.
Up to a late hour last nighf no word
had been received from General Barry
at Chicago, upon whose decision rests
the choice of the mobilization camp
in Nebraska. General Barry, it is
thought, will decide upon the Ash
land range, as it is owned by the gov
ernment and is piped and ready for
the men at any time the decision to
move is made. Word was expected
during the night on this matter.
The state authorities ire moving
slowly because of the lack of funds,
as all purchases must be made on the
certainty of greatly delayed pay
ments, Guardsmen's Pay Starts.
Omaha National guardsmen assem
bled at the armory, yesterday for roll
can, ineir pay as guardsmen bfgan
Tuesday morning and breakfast was,
served at the armory tar all those who
so desired. As the faeilities for feed
ing and housing the men is xiot very
good, a provision of the regulations
provides that men who so elect may,
upon permission of their captains, live
and eat at home and receive an allow
ance of 75 cents a day in place of the
armory food and beds.
Recruiting continued rapidly
through most of the night. -Company
A is now recruited to a strength of
about 100 men. Companies B, C and
D, which with Company A, make up
the First battalion or the Fourth regi
ment, were recruited to between
eighty and ninety men each. Mon
day morning their strength averaged
about sixty-five.
Most of the guardsmen are able to
pass the physical examination given
by Dr. George W. Pugsley. Sev
eral of the recruits are veterans of
the Spanish-American war and the
Philippine campaign. One man 47
years old, two years beyond the usual
limit, insisted that he be taken in
some capacity, and he was accepted
provisionally subject to further exam
ination by federal medical inspectors.
A number of the new men have seen
service either in previous enlistments
in the guard or in the regular army
and will consequently be easy to
whip into shape for a campaign.
Body of Brother' of
Brownsville Mayor
Found in Rio Grande
Brownsville, Tex., June 20. The
body of William Browne, a brother
of Mayor Albert Browne of this city,
was found in the Rio Grande river

6f Matamoros today. Browne is said
to have been last seen in Matamoros
Saturday afternoon. He is believed
to have been murdered.
Auto Club Will Kim
... To State Fisheries
The Tours Committee of the Om
aha Automobile Club met yesterday
at the Hotel Fontenelle, and made
preliminary arrangements for trips
during the summer. The first run
will be to the State Fisheries and re
turn next Sunday. The Bee has ar
ranged. to print in the Sunday issue
the official road map of the run. This
will be arranged in convenient form
for the use of the tourists and be
pasted on a sheet of cardboard for
ready referenve on the run.
The round trip is between seventy
five and eighty miles, through miles
of scenic beauty. The down trip will
be by way of the Lincoln Highway,
Millard, and Gretna, returning via
Springfield, Richfield, Fapillion and
Riverview Parks.
The committee decided not to -ap-poinftny
specific time or place for
meeting. Members start at any time
and finish when they please. The
club rooms at the Fontenelle will be
open and any who so desire may meet
there and form groups of cars for the
trip or meet friends, there to fill up
their cars for the run, Secretary
Smith suggests tht the State Fisheries
Reservation and the banks of the
Platte make ideal places for picnic
lunches.

Resolution to
Amend Army Draft
Bill Is Delayed
Washington, D. C., June 20. Ad
ministration leaders in congress de
cided not to seek immediate action
on a resolution to provide for mak
ing the National Guard eligible for
foreign service, Tearing that such a
step at this time might be construed
by the Mexican government as a
warlike act. Enough regulars are
available now to deal with any emer
gency across the Mexican border and
should it become necessary to send
guardsmen the resolution then could
be rushed through.
Reports to the War department
indicated the mobilization was pro
ceeding satisfactory.

AMERICAN NOTE
FLATLY REJECTS
DEFACTODEMAIID
Formal Note to Carranza Says the
Troops Will Stay Until
He Restores
Order.
COUCHED IN VIGOROUS TERM3
Attemut to Carry Out Hit Threats
Will Be Followed by Gravest
Consequences.
PATIENCE OF U. S. EXHAUSTED
Washington, June 20. The Amer- '
ican note flatly rejecting Carranza's
demand for the withdrawal of United
States troops from Mexico and re
buking the Carranza government for
the discourteous tone and temper of
its last communication was handed
today to Eliso Arredondo, the Mex
ican ambassador designate.
It concludes with the statement
that if the de facto government con
tinues t- ignore this obligation and
carrier out its threat to defend its ter
ritory by an appeal to arms against
the American troops the gravest con
sequences will follow.
"While this government would
deeply regret such a result," the note
says, "it cannot recede from its set
tled determination to maintain its na
tional rights and to perform its full
duty in preventing further invasions
of the territory of the United States
and in removing the peril which
Americans along the international
boundary have borne so long with
patience and forbearance."
- Troops Will Remain, r,
Long continued outrages against
Americans and their property, both in
Mexico and on American soil, are re
viewed in the note and warning given
that the troops will be kept in Mex
ico until such a time as the de facto
government performs the duty which
the United States has not sought, in
pursuing the bandits, who ought to be .
arrested, and punished by the Mexi
can government.
"1 am reluctant to be forced to the
conclusion which might be drawn
from the circumstances," Secretary
Lansing declares, "that the de facto
government in tpitc of the crimes
committed and the sinister designs of
Villa and his followers did not and
does not now intend or desire that
these outlaws should be captured, de
strayed or dispersed by American
troops, or at the request of this gov
ernment by Mexican troops." '
. . -s Mexican Press Antagonistic';.'
The purposes. of the United States
government towards Mexico ques
tioned in the last Mexican note are .
announced in the following language:
"If a denial is needed that this gov
ernment has had ulterior and improp
er motives in its diplomatic repre
sentations, or has countenanced the
activities of American sympathizers
and the American press opposed to
the de facto government, I am glad
emphatically to deny it. It is, how
ever, a matter of commoi. knowledge
that the Mexican press has been more

Orpet Complained i
Because Called Dear
Instead of Dearest
Waukegan, 111., June 20. Celestia
Youker, the "other girl" in the case
of William H. Orpet, university stu
dent charged with the murder of Ma
rion Lambert, is expected to take the
i itness stand tomorrow, when it is
expected that the last of the state's
evtdence will be presented. . ,
Much of today's testimony cori
cerned statements alleged to have
been made by Orpet to lawyers, po
licemen and newspaper reporters just
before and immediately fallowing his
arrest The admissibility of much of
it was questioned and the witnesses in '
many instances were interrogated
while the jury was excluded from tho
loom. Its members were brought
backi to hear the admissible portions.
It was first excluded when States
Attorney Dady sketched 'the pur
ported contents of the letters from
Orpet to Marion. Last summer they
were ardent and jealous in tone. They
complained because Marion ad
dressed him as "dear" instead of
"dearest" and in nearly every ine
reference was made to illicit rela
tions. There was a lapse in the -series
while Orpet was at home in
Lake Forest for the summer vaca-
tion. When he returned to the Uni
versity of Wisconsin at Madison in
the fall, the tone of the letters was
cooler, States Attorney Dady re- '
