Women's Vote Depends
Upon Supreme Courts
Decision on Referendum
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The SUI
preme court today begins considera-
ton Of whether federal constitutional
amendments must be submitted to the
voters for ratification in states having
referendum provisions in their con-
stitutions.
The question is involved in appeals
from Ohio supreme court DEGREES sus-
tanning the state constitutional refer
endum amendment and dismissing in
junction proceedings brought to enjoin
submission and woman suffrage
amendments to popular vote.
The case is the first Of it's kind to
reach the supreme court and upon the
courts opinion it is asserted would
likely depend whether the women of
the country would be able to vote at
the forthcoming presidential election.
Should the court hold the suffrage
amendment must be submitted to a
referendum, Ohio would be withdrawn
temporarily from the list of states
which the secretary of state has certi-
fed as ratifying. 1t would be impossi-
BILE, it was said here, to submit the
amendment to the voters in that state
before next fall.

AMUNDSEN IS BACK;
MAY HAVE GONE TO
POLE BY AIRPLANE
(By Associated Press)

NOME. Alaska, April 23,-Captain
Roald Amundsen, discoverer of the
South Pole, has arrived at Anadir,
trading post on the Behring sea, east
ern Siberia according to a wireless
message from Anadir, received here
last night. The dispatchh gave no de-
tails other than suggesting that the
explorer had reached the village in a
ship.
NEW YORK, April 23.--It is quite
possible that Captain ROald Amund-
sen, whose arrival has been reported
at Anadir, Siberia, may have attained
the North Pole in an airplane he took
with him on his exploring expedition,
according to Dr. Edmund O. Hozey,
of the American museum of natural
history.
DR.. HoZey, who headed an eXpedi-
ton to the relief of explorer Donald
Mcmillan, who was stranded at Etaah
in 1915, and was himself frozen in the
arctic ice for nearly two years at Bar
ker Snow Bay on the northwest coast
of Greenland, stated that comment on
Captain Amundsen'S expedition now
would be sheer guess work.
Prof. Hozey consulted a globe be-
side his desk and said: "Amundsen
probably came across the land from
the Arctic Ocean. in order to reach
the trading station on the Anadir Riv
er, although l can't see that there is
anything at this early date to say
about what could have happened in
the 19 months since Amundsen left
Dixon Island in the White Sea in Sep
tember, 1918. l don't think he reach
ed the pole but that is quite possible.

HARDING PLEADS
FOR RED CROSS IN
TODAY'S MESSAGE
President.E Issues Armistice Day
Message In Which He Pleads
For Support to Red Cross.

Washington, November IL. - Presi-
dent-elect Harding, in an Armistice
day message made public here, urges
all Americans to aid the American
Red Cross in its fourth annuel roll
call. The message reads:
II want to express my very ernest
sympathy for your cause and my
hopes that it may be forwarded by
the coming campaign. If in all the
world there is an organization more
entitled to be regarded as doing good
universally, and doing nothing else
at any time or any place, / do not
know what it may be.
1T would be peculiarly misfortune
il the Red Cross, with its magnificent
organization and splendid purpose of
useful achievement, should lose any
measure Of its efficiency because the
special interest and enthusiasm Of
war time has ceased. Your organiza-
ton has been built to serve humanity,
and humanity needs its service in
peace, just as it-did in war. My wish
es for all success 60 out to you"
An appeal from Vice President
elect Calvin Coolidge also is made
public. 1t says:
There are no large results without
organized effort. In no other way can
the mercy Of mankind adequately be
expressed. To that end the Red Cross,
the greatest expression Of the COM
passion of mankind, should have its
organization maintained and support

new FACTS ARE
DEVELOPED IN
MURDER TRIAL
Investigation Into Miss Parsons Cruel
Murder Brings Out Facts Not
Before Known BY the
Officers.

Harlan, KY, Nov. 10. An added
element of mystery. coupled with
slow but increasingly effective at
tempt to dispose of time unaecounted
for by DR.. H. C. WINES, marked the
slow and sitting progress made in the
probe into the murder of Miss Lura
Parsons in the County Court here to-
day.
Beginning early in the morning and
continuing until late this afternoon,
attorneys for both prosecution and de-
Tense made their way slowly through
the tangled testimony in an effort to
gather facts that would assist them in
their cases. Facts of the highest i'm
portance that never before have been
introduced as public record, were
brought out during the trial today.
Several of them undoubtedly will have
an important bearing on the case, and
should make long strides toward the
possible solution of the mystery of
the death of Miss Parsons, whose body
was found lying just off the Pine
Mountain trail on September 9, two
days after she believed to have been
outraged and murdered.
That Miss Parsons did not begin her
Inflated walk over Pine Mountain I'M
til long after it WAS first supposed,
was proven today when testimony in
troduced showed that upon alighting
from the train at Dillon, she went to
the home of Mrs. Martha Howard, and
there changed her shoes.
Set Watch ut 1850 O'Clock.
There she also set her watch and
the clock by which this was done indi-
Gated the time to be 1870 o'clock.
Statements including these facts were
made by Wilson Lewis, while on the
witness stand Lewis is the man from
whom DR.. H. c. WINES obtained a
mule to ride over the mountain to the
school the day Miss Parsons was MUIR
dered.
Lewis testified that DR.. WINES be-
gan his trip to the school before IL
o'clock. This showed that DR.. WINES
was approximately less than 20 min
utes behind the school teacher In
starting for the trail.
Magistrate ]. B. Browning, by his
testimony, placed the added elements
Of mystery in the case. Magistrate
Browning was one of the first men to
examine the body of Miss Parsons af-
ter it had been found. He declared
that 1t appeared as If it had been
dragged and then placed under the
rock ledge, as its position was such
as to indicate, that it could not have
fallen. Magistrate Browning testified
that the next day, while making an in
vestigation, he stopped at the prison
camp, where he engaged a convict in
conversation, who said, "On Tuesday,
Big John came down off the noun
tain between 1 and and stripped. He
had stain Of blood on his pants.v !.
