. London, July J. Ai a result of one
week of most costly onslaughts on
the Russian lines between the Stokoh
and the Styr. rivers the Austro-Ger-man
forces have advanced their battle
front at the. most five miles eastward

on this front pending the develop

that strong German reinforcements
are entering the field. ' -
Meanwhile the Russians have, pro

traditions which had been a pride for
three centuries, and which the was
anxious to perpetuate in her children.
sne was Darn at mew Bedford,
Mass., "in November, 1834, about the
20th," according to her. testimony at
one time in , court She was a de
scendant on' her mother's side of
Henry Howlsnd. brother of Pilgrim
John Howlsnd of the Mayflower.
In succeeding ' generations the
Howland family became famous in
the whaling industry and shipping
trade with China and had an Irre-
roachable social standing. Edward
fiott Robinson, who had also
amassed a fortune in a similar way In
New Bedford, married Abby How
land, of whom Hetty Robinson. the
future mistress of finance, was horn.
She wat sent to a Quaker school on
Cape Cod and to a seminsry In Bos
ton, snd got her first lessons in fi
nance when her ageing father en
trusted her with some of hit books.
. Belle In New York Society. '
She was iust 30 years old when her
father died suddenly, leaving her his
$9,000,000, $1,000,000 outright snd the
income from the other $8,000,000, the
principsl to be held in trust for her
children. It is forgotten that Hetty
Green, then Robinson, was a belle in
New York society. According to her
own stories, she often danced the
whole night through, tven then.
however, the lived in a boarding
house snd wss so saving that rather
than pay cabfare, she would pull a
air of heavy woolen stockings over
er shoes snd walk through the snow
to oartiee.
Almost st the same time thst ner
father died, her aunt, Sylvia Ann
Howland, passed away, leaving sev
eral million dollars. It is said Hetty
Robinton had been brought up from
childhood to count this money as
hers, snd the aunt expressed the nope
that Hetty would some day become,
as she did, the richest, woman in the
country.
lit division oi trie aunrs estate,
however, was not as expected. Three
years after the aunt s death, Hetty
dreen appeared in tne united Mates
circuit court of Massachusetts with a
will which the wanted substituted for
the one already probated. This will
wat in Mn. Green's own handwriting,
and tome of the most famous experts
of the day declared under oath their
belief that the two signatures it con
tained were not made by the aunt but
were traced by Hetty Green herself
over an original signature of Syvia
Ann Howlsnd. -:
The litigation is one of the most
fsmout in court annalt. After an ex
pense of $172,000, the case was dis
missed on a technicality. An appeal
was msde to the supreme court of the
United Mates, but while this was
pending a private settlement - was
reached. " ,'-
From thoae days to the time of her
death Hetty Green was involved in
tome lawsuit or other, asserting that
lawyers were forever trying to rob
her of her property. Her antipathy
toward them was so violent that the
said: "I would rather have my daugh- i
ter burned at the stake than to go
through what I have with lawyers."
She married in 1867. Her husband
wat Edward H. Green, who wat
United States - consul general in
Manila, where he had made a fortune
in the silk trade. It is sail) Green, at
a public dinner, heard someone speak
of Hetty Robinson at "the greatest
American heiress," and straightway
announced his determination to marry
her. Before the wedding day ah
agreement was signed to. the 'effect
that the wife's fortune should never
be drawn on to meet the husband's
debts or any of their joint expentet.
He died in 1902 after having lost
most of hit money in Wall street
Both Hetty Green and he did busi
ness there for many years, but on
separate accounts. Her moat preten
tious home was at Bellows Falls, Vt,
where she spent many summers, but
even this place wat notoriout there
for never being m repair. In winter
she hid herself in tome of the least
expensive , neighborhoods around New
York, guarding her identity by put
ting the .name of her pet dog,
"Dewey," on the doorplate. Her
daughter, Sylvia, wat her only com
panion. The latter the kept from so
ciety, but in 1909 consented to her
marriage, at the age of 30, to Mat
thew Astor Wilks, a wealthy New
Yorker of 57 yeart. The lonely
mother then removed herself for a
time to a tuite of rooms in one of
the most fashionable Fffth avenue
hotels, but this luxury wat toon given
up.
Son Becomes Prominent
It wat Hetty Green't ambition to
make her ton, Edward . Howland
Green, the richest man in the country.
She put him through many aevere
testt to try out hit butinest qualifi.
Texat, where he eventually worked
cations. She finally tent him to
himself to the front at a railroad man
and financier. Since 1893 he hat
been president of the Texas Midland
railroad and a factor in many other
interests. In late yeart he largely
atsumed the management v of hit
mother't property.
Hetty Green't Investments were
largely in mortgages, Snd whenever
s.'ie invested in anything it .was only
after she had made the most minute
personal examination of the proper
ties. She never disclosed in detail
the secrets of her success, but she ad
mitted it wat mainly in buying wnen
things were cheap, and never telling
until they were high. If asked for
advice as to what would be good
to invest, in, her epigramatic answer
was usually, "The other world.
While never intensely religious,, she
was a frequent attendant at Quaker
meetings, snd only s few years ago
she, like her daughter,, was baptised
in the Episcopal church.
She emphatically denied that her
disposition was miserly. During the
panic of 1907-08 the made loans
which tided over many wealthy New
Yorkers. Two yeart before the panic

Orpet Jury Spends
Holidays at Lake .
Home of Member
Waukegan, III., June 3. When the
trial of Will H. Orpet, former Uni
versity of Wisconsin student, accused
of the murder of Marion Lambert, is
resumed in Judge Donnelly's court
here Wednesday, two new lines of ex
pert testimony are expected to be de
veloped by the defense.
Dr. William O. Krohn of Chicago,
noted as an alienist, is to take the
stand, it was announced today. It is
said that he will testify that in his
opinion Marion Lambert's disposition
and frame of mind were tuch that the
suicide theory of the defense is logi
cal and consistent with the physical
facts already adduced. The other line
of reasoning he is expected to support
is that Orpet' S- mental constitution is
such that he is'rmcapable of murder.
Dr. Krohn is said to have made an ex
tended atudv of Oroet
Further evidence, is to be presented,
it was said today, that there were no
spots on Marion's cost when it was
produced at the coroner's inquest 'It
is said that other members of the
coroner's jury will give testimony cor
roborating that already presented by
two members of the jury.
The state, however, is said to be
working on a plan to rebut this testi
mony, and that thit plan contemplates
the calling of at least two members of
thit coroner't jury to deny ttatementt
already made regarding the coat. Just
who these jurors are hat not been
indicated. . . t
The jurort who are hearing the
Orpet case are enjoying a holiday
house party at the home of Len Bar
tell, the first juror to be selected, at
the north end of Channel Lake near
the Wisconsin line. Mrs. Bartell and
their children have evacuated the
home for the time being. Three dep
uty sheriffs are in charge of the jury.

CHILDREN TO LEARN
ABOUT THE FOURTH
Tots of West Harney to Move
Their Parade to Seymour
Lake This Year.
AT FOUE THIRTY TODAY
By MELLIFICIA July 4.
A wee kindergartner told me the
other day, "I made a picture of
George Washington at school." But
when I asked her who wat George
Washington she said, "Why, George
Washington,' and no further inquiry
could elicit any information. There
is a group of children in town, how
ever, who not only know about the
father of their country, but are doing
what they can to preserve his pa
triotic spirij.
The children of the West Harney
street region have for the last five
years observed a safe and sane
Fourth of July. X'nder the guidance
of Mrs. George Mickel and others,
they have staged the cleverest parades
and patriotic celebrations without a
suggestion of broken arms snd burn
ed fingers snd blinded eyes.
Thit yesr, as before, a grand pa
geant with floats, colors, tableaux,
flags and singing hat been prepared
under the direction of Mrs. Mickel
and Mrs. T. L. Combs. It is to be a
bigger ana DCtter anair uiau
fore, it is said, because fifty children
from Seymour Lake nave couauur
ated to make the event a huge sucj
cess. The parade will take place at
Seymour Lake club grounds, start
ing at the playgrounds and moving
to the club house. The hour set for a
the pageant is 4 JO this after- r
noon.

firm stand for preparedness and who
has been criticized by some of the .
pacifists.
last night Dr. Jeffrey delivered a
sermon on the "Glory of the Flag.'
He said that the men or the news

courage enlistments at thit time was
a traitor to hia country and lie had
no use for that sort of an individual.
