Vanderbllt visited the baiaar late last

In the .Serbian booth, The check Is made )
out to Miss tfyldl Kden, the lied Cross
nurse, who has worked In ScrblaT Miss
Kden will leave on July 7 to do orlcei
In that country again among the ,
wounded and the refugees.
Miss Kden and Marie Dressier drew
the crowds last night to the Serbian
booth, which hasn't attracted much
notice, because the little Serbian women
who are looking nfter It are too timid
to make people buy. Miss Dressier, lis
she said over the counter yeslerday, is
not timid, at least when It comes to beg
ging for the Allies, nnd sho did a "rip
ping business."
Miss llrrsslrr Tanssnrs Too.
At ten o'clock she took off her npron
and went up to the H. V. H. tea room.
where she nn.l .Maurice aaureii ine uumu

partners have quite a different effect
from that produced by Maurice and
Floienco Walton, but they captured their
audience. When they finished their turn
there was scarcely a dry eye nmong tho
hundreds that looked at them, but Judg
ing fiom the sounds the emotions stirred
were not those of grief.
Danrlnc contests among amateurs,
with Maurice as Judge, filled tho evening
In tho H. V. It. tea room. Anna Held

Wolf von Igel ; Alfred A. Frltzen and 1
Constantlne Covani, alias (lonzalee.
Tauacher nnJ Von Igel are the only two ,
defendants under arrest. i
The State Department has not reached ,
n decision as to the statin of the pipers 1
seized by Onvernment agents at the time I
of Von Igel's arrest In the office of the ,
former military nttache at 60 Wall street, i
A protest was made by the German Am- I
bnssador that the office was embuesy '
territory and that consequently the
papers were exempt from seizure. Von
Igel, It wns also contended, was a mem
ber of the Ambassador's retinue and
Immune from prosecution.
Attorney-General Gregory upheM the
Federal authorities here In the conten
tion that Von luel was subject to nrose.
cutlon. but nevertheless the papers were ,
sent on to the State Department for ex-
nmlnatlon. Von Igel' final pleading
has been postponed until the State Pe
partment has mado a final ruling In the
matter.
Tauscher's part In the canal plot, ac
cording to Assistant I'rtited States At
torney Wood, was the furnlshliw of arms
nnd explosives to those who were to do ,
tho actual work. Tho plot wns revealed
by a German soldier of fortune best ,
known na liaron Horst von der Goltz.
He subsequently went to London to do 1
snv work for his Government and was
nrrested. He was given his choice of .
facing a firing squa'J or of coming bnck
to this country to tell the Federal
authorities what he knew of German
activities here. Ho chose the latter
alternative.
Assistant Fnlted States Attorney
Wood, who will have charge of the
Tauscher trial, will adduce eviilence to
how that the canal plot was flnanrej
by Capt. von Papen. Felix H. Levy
probably will represent Tauscher.

Prison employees report that the bank
wan open to-day "only for visitors" and
not for Inmates. Some time ago the
bank declared a dividend of thirteen
ednta In American money to redeem one
dollar In token coin, but the dividend
waa never paid.

danger of going down. The Franklin,
however, mado for the pier of William

Trouble In the Tide.
As the Benjamin Franklin was plung
ing through Hell tlato Just Hfter round
ing the turn from the East Illver In a
heavy rainfall the Klmer Keeler ap
peared In slgnt going In the opposite di
rection. It was the last of the flood tide
nnd Isith skippers were having Hell
flate troubles of their own. There wa a
good deal of tooting of whistles that
started shivers down the spines of the
excursionists. Whether the tide was to
blame nobody seemed to know, but nt
any inte the Keeler changed her course
and headed for the Franklin.
A shout of terror went up ns the tug
bore down on the excursion boat, and a
moment later lie bow struck the Frank
lin amldshlp. The steamboat keeled over
so far that the water washed her lower
deck The passengers became panic
stricken and everybody rushed to get life
preservers. The Franklin soon rlghtert
Itself and the Keeler remained close by
to be In readiness to render assistance
If necessiiry The steamboat's deck
hands made the life rafts ready and the
skipper ordered the pumpw In action,
but It wasn't long before It became np
parent that the Franklin wasn't going
to sink, and everybody felt better.
The Franklin finally headed for the
Astoria shore, and after his men had
covered the hole. In the steamboat's side
with canvas the captain announced that
everything was shipshape and safe for
a resumption of the voase.

not Campbell's daughter.
The same contention Is made In the
salt filed to-day. It nlso marges inai
tho witnesses to the will were not dis
interested parties, but officials of the

"JO" DAVIS LOVED
ORPET, SAYS CHUM
Florence Russell Declares De
fendant's Witness Was'Rival
of Marian Lambert.
I
LATTER NOT DESPONDENT
WAttKEOAM, III., June 17. "Josephine
Davis loved Will Orpet. She kept up a
friendship with Marian Lambert partly
so sho could sen him."
This was thn testimony to-dny of
Florence ltussell, n member of the
"Klghteen Bunch," school girl chums of
Marian Lambert, concerning the attitude
of Josephine Davis, who turned against
her friend and testified In favor of Will
Orpet, accused of Miss Lambert's mur
der. In his relentless attack on "Jo" DaUs's
testimony that Marian cried nt her birth
day party the Sunday before she died
and threatened to tnko her own life "If
Will marries Cclestl.i Youker," State's
Attorney Daily put witness nfter witness
on the stand to-day. He even called
Mnrl.in's Sunday school teacher. All of
the witnesses declared they never saw
I Marian In n despondent mood. The only
! drawback to their testimony was thnt not
I one of them could say slin was as Inti
mate with Marian as Josephine had
I been,
"Frances Bishop, Christine Smith, my
self and Marian went to a Christian
Knileavor meeting nt Lake Forest thnt
Sunday night after the other girls had
left the party." Miss ltussell said. "I
slept with Marian. The other two girls
slept In another room. Marian and 1
talkid In general about things. She
talked of going to college nnd of her
plans for the summer.
"She hoped that we could room to
gether In college. Thn our talk drifted
to Will Orpet. She spoke of his temper.
'He loses his temper - I like to sec him
In that mood.' she said. Mo Davis lilies
him, but I don't care. I guess that's
whv Jo comes to my house so often.'
Mls Mary Marshall, daughter of Will
iam Marshall, the Owentsla golf pro
fessional, testified concerning it secret
meeting betwien Marian and Orpet In
Lake Forest, and added that the boy
slept on the McCormlek estate that night
without his patents' knowledge. The
State Is hoping to prove that Orpet did
likewise on the night the girl died.
"1 knew she iccelvod letters from
him," she said. "She told me of one
secret meeting when he came down from
Madison. She said there was a man
at the (irpet place who had to do things
for Will because Will had something or
other 'on' him She told me she did
not want to have nnythiug to do with
him aftir she had teamed of hi en
gagement to Cclestl.i Youker. However,
she confided that Will was coming down
on Wednesday night from Maill-or. She

BOY RIDES BUMPERS
1,000 MILES IN DAY
All the Wny From Chicago on
Trucks nf Twentieth Cen
tury Limited.
MAGISTRATE IS LENIENT
A thousand miles nn the bumper of
the Twentieth Century Limited la ths
record of Vincent Scott, 17, of Hit
Itoades avenue, Chicago. Scott wa r
rested yesterday morning at drand Cen
tral Station when he came from under
the platform connecting the first steeper
nnd tho baggage car. where he had
crawled the day before. For the en
tire twenty hour trip the boy was forced
to lie half nn his back and half on his
side, with his knees drawn up to his
chin.
He collapsed while endeavoring to
stretch nut his crnmped limbs, but after
he had become used to freer quarter
completely recovered hla equanimity and
nonchalantly told of his harrowing Jour
ney In the most casual manner In ths
world.
After placing him under arrest ths
detective took the boy to a restaurant
and bought him a meal. The stowaway
ate woltlshly, ns he had not tasted
food since leaving Chicago. Then he was
taken to Yorkvllle court and arraigned
heforo Magistrate Breen charged with
Illegal train riding.
t'nder the satisfying Influence of a
full stomach Scott became talkative and
related to the Magistrate part of the
hlstoiy of his eventful young life. Born
In Chicago, he aald he had always dons
about ns he pleased. Ballroad yards,
nccordlng to his statement, played a
prominent part In his early environment,
and, ns he said, "he Just naturally took
to them." Never before, however, had
he taken such a long trip. Its ultimate
destination, ns per his original Itinerary,
was Plalnfleld, N. J., where he expected
to visit friends.
"I think you need a rest," aald th
Magistrate. "I guess I'll give you two
daj In Jail to recuperate. Then you
can go to Plalnfleld."
