IHE IS TO GIVE TESTIMONY Was Shown By State That Orpet Was With the Girl When She Drank the Fatal Poison and Then Died The Case Is Not to Be Tried In the ; Same County. Chicago, Feb. 15. A new arrest waa made today in connection with the death of Marion Lambert, the school girl who was found dead last week. The man arrested waa Charles W. Haaainger, a drug clerk university stu dent at Madison, .Wisconsin. The charge against him is that ha sold poison to William Orpet, the alleged murderer of the girl. Included in the drugs sold to thia man was a quantity of drugs used to produce an abortion. That charge, while it is the only one on which he may be tried, is not the reason for his arrest. He was arrested so he may be compelled to give testimony against the man ac- n .&rl nf tVi murder. The charge against Hassinger's testimony at the j trial of Orpet the State's case was ; stand or fall. It is not the purchase! of drug that may send him to the' gallows. Orpet is alleged to have: bought drugs on a secret journey. Or nt mi firt denied buvini? the bottle.' It is now rumored that he has con-! fessed that he made the purchase State Attorney Davy summarizes his cas eagainst Orpet as follows: "It is known that he had intimate relations with the girl and that he wanted to break away from, her be cause he had since become engaged . to another. A week ago tonight he arranged an elaborate alibi to prove , his presence in Madison throughout the night, but he was not in Madison. He met Miss Lambert and was with her when she died on Wednesday morning. "Then came the search for the poi son. Little progress was made in that direction until Monday when a quan tity of Cycanide of Potassium was found hidden near the spot where Or pet said he had spent Tuesday night while he was waiting to keep his en gagement with the girl. The finding of the poison strengthened the case against Orpet" The prosecuting attorney did not consider the case complete until he ' learned of the purchase of the empty bottle. The accused man's lawyer said today that they will never premit him to he brought to trial in Lake Coun ty, where they allege he can not se cure a fair trial.

The Sale of Tickets IS Speeding Up The advance sale of base ball tick ets for the first five game to be play ed by that Fayetteville team and which are sold at the rate of five for a dollar, went like hot cakes yester day. The people of the town seem to have finally decided that they want a ball team, and were yesterday ral lying to the colors. At a meeting last night each member of the Young Men's Club took a number and will be out bright and early this morn ing to get the sale well underway. AH candidates for admission to that team are requested to be at the Fair Grounds Friday evening at three o'clock, if the weather permits, and get lined up for the swell playing that is coming on. The uniforms have been selected and just as soon as the sale of the tickets get in the right position they will he. bought. Greensboro has raised nine thou sand plunks for her base ball team, and Fayetteville outrht to raise five r six hundred, declared the local boys. Sure a little old town like Greensboro can not go to nine th.u- and and Fayetteville not raise at least one eighteenth of that, they say. i,.t your, ticket yet? Well pit it : -lav!

From the fact that the French flyers had cre ated a number of sport records the French and English press drew the conclusion that Germany was hope lessly outclassed in the air. The peo ple of the Allied and the neutral coun tries were made to believe that the air was as completely dominated by the French, as the English. This dream was of short duration, however. By September, 1914, the London "Times had to concede that the successes of the Germans on the western front were largely due to the excellent scouting of their avia tors. When Turkey entered the war the Constantinople papers expressed fear that the supremacy of the French and English aviators would bring disas ter to the Turkish armies. The Turks at that time only possessed four fly ers, who were trained in Germany and used antiquated machines of French origin. A The creation of the respectable Turkish air fleet seemed almost im possible. The arsenals began at once the construction of aeroplanes, but many parts of them could not be pro duced in Turkey and had to be brought from Germany and Austria-Hungary through its territory. About a dozen machines were built m Germany and delivered in Constantinople, but before they could be used pilots had to be trained for them. Early in January of last year Capt. Serno, a German expert, arrived with a number of German flyers and ma chanics to take charge of the organ ization of the Turkish aviation corps. WHO HAS HID THIS HERE COP? Who has swiped one of the city's j cops ? Time to own up for the city 1 needs its cops, which is paying that one of them has disappeared. ( Policeman Marshall, according to the statement of the mayor, is no. longer on the force. The mayor was trying to learn his whereabouts yes terday afternoon, but was not suc cessful. ' It seems from what could be learn ed, that Policeman Marshall has a failing for strontr drink. At least he went on a tear, and has not ..ho'.vn up to act as city guardian since then. Policeman Marshall has been off the force now about 'en days. J iu:ro.- i nuts tir i crinn j X VTlON I. "H 1 T T'.iOAY I T).e ..!..,,...;,,. :;'--i.e K.e e lH -" ' v-vd.

Jn March the Turkish army had over one hundred flying machines and their number has been growing stead ily ever since. The Turkish officers selected as av iators surprised their German teach ers. They went into their work en thusiastically and with the greatest daring. All of them mastered the sec rets of aviation in very short time. At first the Turkish airmen were only used to reconnoitre the positions of the Allies on the Peninsula of Gal lipoli, but they soon flew far out over the Aegean Sea and the islands of Unimoi and Mytilene to observe the movements of the French and Eng lish warships and transports. Later they began to attack. They destroyel seven or eight English and French aeroplanes on Gailipolr and in the Dardanelles and almost daily threw bombs on the ships of the Al-! lies. One small English cruiser was sank by them and 145 men of the crew were killed. Since last fall the Turkish aviators have also been very active in the Cau casus, in Mespotamia and along the Sue Canal. In December they' brought down five British machines north of Kut-el-Amara. Four of the aeroplanes captured in Mesopotamia were repair ed by the Turkish aviators and are now used against the enemy. Although hardly a year old the Turkish aviation corps is already formidable and highly efficient. The number of flyers has been increased to more than five hundred.

The Board of Aldermen was in sja adjourned session last night, the meet' ing on Monday night having been con tinued until last night. A large? amount of business was transacted, while the board at the same time did a good deal of suggesting. At the opening of the session, Mr, Hayes appeared before the board 09 behalf of the Civic Association, re questing that the board make an ap- -propriation towards the aiding out in the defraying of expenses of a vis iting nurse for Fayetteville. Mrs. Hayes stated that in some? sections of the city there was great need felt for a visiting nurse and that conditions were bad. The matter wa referred to a committee and will re ceive action at the next meeting of the board, or at a call meeting.shouhf one be called. Dr. McNeill, the health officer, backed up the statement of Mrs. Hayes and heartily endorsed the proposition that the board make an appropriation for this purpose. Mr. Crawford, who recently pur chased the Johnson Cafe on Hay street ar.d who at the same time took over tha license of Mr. Johnson, ha since been required to take out li cense of his own. He asked the board if it could not refund one of the li censes. No action was taken on th. it Leinjr referred to a committee.
