MRS. OBENCHAIN,
ANGRY, BREAKS
WITH A. C. BURCH
Fellow Prisoner, Protesting
Love, Threatens to Take
Woman to Prison.
TALK HEARD IN JAIL

LON ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 27.-Deeply
incensed by threats and protestatiOns of
love which she says Arthur c. BUTch
made to her in the county Jail, Mrs.
Madalynne c. Obenchaln has broken
with Burch.
So sharp and definite is the break that
she declared today that she viii refuse
to be a witness for Burch at his trial,
scheduled to start next Tuesday unless
asked to do so by her own attorneys.
With her eyes flashing and with her
clenched fists humping the arm of her
chair in a reception room at the county
jail where she and Burch are held pend
ing their trials on the charge of murder
ing J. Bolton Kennedy, the attractive
prisoner asserted she is done with
Burch.
SAYS MADALYNE
KNEW OF HIS LOVE.
Il love you, MadaIynne-surely you
knew all along how much have loved
you!
And let ME tell you, MadaIynne, that
before I will lose you to Ralph Oben-
chain, / will take you to San Quentin
with me-"
These are the words of love and threat
which. Mrs. Obenchain said fell from the
lips OF Burch one night as they passed
floor of the county Jail
These words, she declared turned to
ashes the platOnic feeling that she has
had for Burch. Mrs. Obenchain said
she was stunned by Burch's action and
ran to the end of the corridor and up
the steps to the dormitory"
In giving her decision regarding Burch.
Mrs. Obenchain said:
He has made his own bed and he can
lie In it. For me, 1 propose to hew to
the line from now on and the chips can
fall where they may. 1t has been too
much like casting pearls before swine"
TELLS OF BREAK
WITH BURCH
Il have done all that I could for Arthur
Burch," she continued do you know
that the reason 1 have been here in this
Jail, going through all this terrible or
deal has been simply because I felt that
I wanted to help Arthur all l could? Do
you know that If l had just said few
words 1 could have walked out Of here
long ago!"
Am to understand that you have
cleared yourself of the charge against
you at Burch's expense:" the CORES
pondent Z ked her
You 2ce to understand nothing Of
the sort. I didn't say that It IS be-
cause l. thought possibly what 1 might
say might be twisted and construed I'M
justly to Arthur's disadvantage that
decided to withhold certain information
which, If had divulged, would have let
me out of this jail twenty-four hours
after they had arrested me-"

The journal of the house of repre-

the $4,000 item was inserted. When
the amended measure was returned to
the house, the $4,000 amendment was
voted down. Later, the $4,000 item

It was slipped through the house and

IDLE FREIGHT CARS

Excessive freight rates which nov
prevail throughout the United States
and especially in the western country
appear to be working to the disadvan
tage of the railroads, instead of i'm
proving their condition.
In many instances, freight rates are
{ prohibitive, and are retarding devel-
I opment of much of the western coun-
try. Rates on all commodities are so
high, that only essential articles are
being shipped
While railroads are receiving more
per ton for what they haul, the ton
mage rate is rapidly declining. In fact,
on March 81, of this year, 495,904
freight ears stood idle on sidings in the
United States, while on March %
the number was 459,41l. Of course,
many of these ears were coal cars, and
were idle, due to the decline in demand
for coal with the advent of spring.
Nevertheless, the number of idle cars
is significant, for the number of cars
not in use on March 81 was the largest
in the history of American railroads.
Passenger traffic, as well, has been
killed by high rates. 1t is said that
transcontinental passenger trains are
operating with few cars and small
of passengers.
Further significance is attached to
hese figures: Net earnings of the
railroads for 1920 were 462
million dollars, compared with 766
million dollars, in 1919, or a decrease 4
f 40 percent, swhile operating ex-

Railroad rates, both freight and pas

payrols must be pared. Other operat-

passenger and freight business, the

never materially increase, as long as
