AUBURN, Nov. 1S.-Mrs. Mary
Armes, mother of Joe Armes, was
called to the stand today in the
trial of Alma Bell for her sons
murder, and testified that the girl
had threatened to kill Manuel
Neves, a saloonkeeper, because she
believed that he had circulated stor-
les that led to the quarrel between
herself and Joe. Mrs. Armes said
that the girl had lived at the ranch
for several months before the kill
ing, and insisted that she was there
as a hired servant only, and not as
her sons fiance. This was brought
out in reply to the claim of the
defense that Alma was engaged to
young Armes and that his throwing
her over unbalanced the girls mind.
Joseph Garcia, John Armes and
Frank Peters all testified that Alma
had told them that she knew Joe
did not love her, even during the

Chile MUST
settle CLAIM Of
one MILLION
(By Associated Press J

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-It now
appears probable that unless the
Alsop claim against Chile, of more
than million dollars, which has
been pending for 35 years, is not
brought to a final settlement inn
mediately the United States lega-
tion in Chile will be closed. Intima-
tion to this effect was given Chile's
minister at Washington today.
This action is not considered an
ultimatum, but is a protest against
the interminable delays of the set
tlement of claims admitted to be
just.
