 Invitation by the Ansora assembly of the Turkish Nationalist govern ment to tho sultan to visit Anatolia has brought the crown council here face to face with a dilemma. If the sultan should accept the invitation 1t is feared he will become a puppet in tho hands of the Nationaiists. If on the other hand he remains in Constan- tiopio the Nationaiists may proclaim new sultan.

CITIZENS VOTING ON BEL AVENUE SCHOOL SITE TONIGHT TO O'CLOCK
AIRSHIP LANDING
FIELDS DISCUSSED
Matter Is Brought Before the
Board of Directors of
C.. & G.. Association

Shall Bemidji have an arial land
ing field? This is a question att
racting the attention of the board OF
park commissioners. Not that they
have made any special decision on
the matter but it has been brought to
the attention Of Bemidji people sew
eral times and some thought has been
given it by the park board. At a
meeting of the Board of Directors or
the Civic and Commerce Association
George r. Baker Of the park board
submitted some facts for the consid-
Grafton of the directors.
He drew attention to the fact that
the World War brought aircraft into
a very advanced state of development
but did nothing to develope landing
fields which where essential to fly
ing as yards and stations are to rail-
roads or docks and harbors to steam
ships and without question when
Fields are established aircraft viii
utilize them. There are about
twenty-five thousand army and navy
filters in the United States. No
doubt landing fields will put many
back into the game.
TIL southern portion of Minnesota
with all their broad fields are begin
min gto realize the need of specially
prepared fields close to cities and
towns and they are getting them
selves. on the map by building these
landing fields.
Last winter several planes were
here carrying passengers and express.
At that time they could land on the
lakes. This was alright for winter
but why not fix a place SO that we
can have them here both summer and
winEet'? ThWe axe several places
near town that could be put in shape
without much expense.

the same in every case and all are

Killed Kennedy in Jail

NEW THEORY FOR
MURDER DISCOVERED
Legal Battle Takes Place Over
Possession of Trunk Sent
Mrs, Obenchain
(Ry United PreSs)

Los Angeles, Aug. 1S.-That the
man who killed J. Bolton Kennedy
will be in jail in less than five days
was the statement made by Ralph
Obenchain, divorced husband of Mrs.
Madelyne Obenchain, to newspaper
men late yesterday.
AS attorney for his divorced wife,
Madelyne Obenchain, he announced
that he had obtained evidence that
not only would cause the arrest of the
SLAYER of the broker, but effect the
release of Mrs. Obenchain and Arthur
C. BuHch, held in Jail under indict-
ment for the Staying of Kennedy. He
said:
'Thet investigation which we have
been conducting has produced evil
'dence showing a new theory for the
killing of Mr.. Kennedy, and the in
dividual or individuals responsible
for the murder who are directly i'm
plicated in it will be arrested. l be-
heve that by Sunday the entire stu
alton will be cleared up and the in
nocence of the present suspects es
tablished." 1922.
Mr.. Obenchain's statement, made
late in the day, came after he had lost
his first tilt with the prosecution over
a technical battle to regain possession
of trunk consigned to Mrs. Oben-
chain from San Francisco. When
it arrived here last night he an
nounced he would attempt to prevent
seizure of it on the ground that it
was his trunk, temporarily being used
by his former wife, and that under
the law, it could not be seized and
the contents held as evidence against
the defendant without a search war
