the Raja Yogi Theosophist colony at
Point Loma, and grand-daughter of
the late distinguished Major J. F. Han
son of Georgia, has been married to
Montague A. Machell, also of the Thec
sophist colony.
The news will be of interest to
Georgians owing to the prominenco

routes are associated with the cream
ery routes out of Eatonton as a start
ei. the object being eventually to
combine the shipments of cream and
eggs wherever there is a cream route.
At present, all of the cream routes
that have been established by the ex
tension agent of the College, ship
their cream to the College, where it is
converted into butter and marketed,
s soon as a sufficient number of cream
routes can be centered at any point in
the state, the College will encourage
the establishment of a creamery at
that pqint. The initial cream routes
will be established in sections where
there are a good many cows and where
it is soon possible to have sufficient
interest to justify the erection of a
creamery.
In the collection of cream a sample
of each offering is taken before it is
emptied into the large milk cans. On
the basis of this sample, the farmer
receives pay for his cream, the
amount of butter fat present in the
cream having thus been determined.
This is the usual method employed at
creameries. County demonstration
agents are doing effective work in
conjunction with the dairy experts of
the college in establishing the cream
.routes.

COLLEGE JUNIOR
AR fIESTED IN THE
POISONMYSTERY
CHICAGO, 111., Feb. 12.—Williams H.
Crhet, a junior student attending the
University of Wisconsin, today confess
ed to detectives at Madison, Wis., that
be possessed knowledge of the death
by poison of Marion Frances Lambert,
aged 18, a high school girl, whose body
wag found in the woods near Lake
Forrest Thursday. The girl belongs to
a family of prominence, and her death
has created considerable indignation,
as foul play is strongly suspected by
the authorities.
Following discovery of the victim's
body, police officials learned of poung
Orhet’s connection with the case. The
youthful student was taken into cus
today late yesterday, and at first de
nied all knowledge of the affair. For
five hours he withstood the gruelling
examination to which he was subjected
by several of the cleverest detectives
engaged to ferret out the mystery, and
then admitted he met the dead girl
in the woods near where the body was
later found: Orhet denies he gave Miss
Lambert poison, and asserts stoutly
that the girl killed herself, but this
«tatement does not co-incide with other
evidence unearthed by detetivs.
After admitting his meeting with
the girl, Orhet told the officers she
begged him for two hours continuous
ly to renew former relations existing
between them, but that he steadfastly
refused. Miss Lambert then threaten
ed to take her own life, he said, and fin
aly when he was leaving Orhet claims
the dead girl placed a vial to her lips
and drained its contents. He did not
believe the vial contained poison, he
said, and later when the bodly was
discovered decided to keep silent in
order to avoid connection with the
girls’ death.
Orhet, occompanied by detectives,
and nominally under arrest, was taken
to Lake Forest this morning, and later
testified before a coroner’s jury in
vestigating the girl’s death. He reiter
ated on the stand the story told he de
tectives earlier in ftie day.
A mysteriousl circumstance in con
nection with the case is the published
statement of David James, who was
walking in the woods near Lake For
est Thursday morning, and who says
be say a man place a bottle to a young
woman’s lips. The scene of the oc
currence was near where Miss Lam
bert’s body was later found. James,
who is a deaf mute, did not approach
the couple near enough to identify
either the man or the woman, but said
the woman was attired very similarly
to Miss Lambert. He was unable to
identify Orhet positively this after
r oon.
Valentine Day
Comes Monday
Witn Hearts
Well,, have you received your valen
tine yet? We have and we can’t say
the valentine was appreciated. But we
suppose it is true that the truth hurts,
and therefore, we’re not going to say
what they sent us. But it reminds one
to think that St. Valentine’s Day is the
appropriate time ‘‘to see ourselves as
others see us,” and it is because the
chances of getting caught up with are
s'igbt, indeed, and the good it would
do some of the village-cut-ups who
might condescend to reward some of
the crowned heads of Europe with a
nto, to see themselves as others see
them, would serve to bring them down
a peg or two, anyway.
But the burlesque is not the only
side of St. Valentine’s Day. The pretty
little valentines some of the swain--j
send to ’heir best girls have expressed
(many beautiful thoughts and the senti
ment of some of the poems is extreme
ly splendid.
But the day is one of agony to the
school teachers of the city, and they ,
are never at peace on that day until
the wee sma’ hours of the mosning
•after.

BERLIN, Feb. 12. —Newspapers here
publish today despatches from the
United States concerning the recently
announced policy of Germany and her
allies toward armed merchant ships.
Tnese despatches indicate the Wash
ington authorities will soon formally
warn American citizens not to travel
on armed merchantmen.
The proposed attitude toward armed
merchant ships has created a profound
impression in the United States, fol
lowing its pronouncement by the Aus
trian charge d’affaires at Washington,
where it is generally conceded the
Teutonic powers are well within their
privileges in taking such action.
Secretary Lansing of the American
state department, in conversation with
the Austrian charge at Washington has
practically admitted the soundness of
the Teutonic position, and public opin
ion in that country is already being
sounded on the subject. The determi
nation to treat armed merchantmen as
fcvarships, is to be put into effect March
Ist, and in the meantime citizens. >f
neutral states now at sea on board
such vessels will have sufficient time
is which to make port and secure pas
sage on unarmed vessels. The widest
publicity is being given Germany’s ac
tion in order to avoid as far as pos
sible friction with neutrals because
o the altered course indicated in the
, latest instructions issued for guidance
of submarine commanders.
