When Questioned,
tBy The Associated Press.)

Los Angeles, Calf, Aug. 9.--The
details of the recent shooting Of j.
Bolton Kennedy a young broker,
on the steps of his summer home in
Beverly Glen near here, were told
to a coroner's jury here this after
noon. A verdict was returned
promptly, reciting that Kennedy
met death from a gunshot wound,
inflicted by persons unknown, with
intent to commit murder"
While the inquest was in progress
and for more than four hours, Dis
/ trict Attorney Thomas Lee Wool
wine conferred personally and
without witnesses with Mrs. Made
lynne Obenchain, the young di-
vorced woman who was with Ken
nedy when he was shot, and who
has since been held as a material
witness. When Mr.. Woolwine
emerged from his conference and
Mrs. Obenchain was returned to
Jail, the district attorney merely
said that 1t was vital to the case
that what was said be not dis
cussed," and declined to go fur
ther. He added that he would pre-
sent the case to the Los Angeles
county grand jury Thursday.
Third Conference Held.
A third conference was held
while the inquest and the conver-
sation with Mrs. Obenchain were
in progress. Arthur G. Burch, the
young man of Evanston, I'LL. who
was arrested at Las Vegas, New,
last Saturday night, and has since
been held here booked for "suspic-
ion of murder" was also taken
from his cell in the county jail and
talked at length with Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Asa Keyes. The talk
of Mr.. Keyes and Burch was entire
ly separate from the conference Of
Mr.. Woolwine and Mrs. Obenchain.
Before Mrs. Obenchain was taken
to the district attorneys office to-
day she had retained an attorney.
Burch also has been visited by
local attorney who it was said had
been retained by telegraph mes
sage from his parents at Evanston.
Neither attorney took part in the
talks had by their clients with the
district attorney and his deputy, al
though both were in another part
OF the district attorneys office,
having been sent for, they stated,
when the conferences started,
Mrs. Obenchain Talks.
Mrs. Obenchain talked freely to
newspaper men and women today
for the first time since the tragedy.
She continued to decline, however,
to say why she had summoned
Burch here from Evanston. Both
OF them had previously stated that
this was the case. Her statement
dealt chiefly with her love for the
dead man and with the conditions
that had prevented their marriage.

to arrange a bout between his
sparring partner, Monte Ferrill,

Manley bout.

final WORD FOR and AGAINST A
Dye EMBARGO In TARIFF LAWIS
SAID BEFORE SENATE COMMITTEE
Another Long Fight Which
Has Been Waged Four Diff
ferent Times Since the
War, Is Ended.

Washington, Aug 9.-Plnal ar
guments for and against a dye en-
barge in the next tariff law We're
laid before the senate finance COM
mittee today, ending another long
fight waged over the plan which
has recurred in congress four diff
ferent times since the war. The
committee plans tomorrow to hear
members of the tariff commission
on American valuation provisions
of the Fordney tariff bill and then
to determine whether the two
propositions shall be recommended
to the senate.
The case of those supporting
the embargo was concluded by DR..
e. H. KillhefeF, a chemist asso-
ciated with one of the larger dye
making concerns, who said the
committee was confronted with the
alternatives of assuring a dye in
dustry by means of an import ban,
or allowing it to be destroyed by
foreign competition. Ruin would
come, he added, unless restrictions
were provided, adding that Ger
man dye manufacturers recently
had told him while on a visit there
of their intention to defeat the am
bitions of American dye makers to
establish a great industry here.
They did not intend to permit
American manufacturers to i'm
pair their world advantage, he said
the Germans had informed him.
Mr.. Killhefer denied that the
industry had been developing in
the last two years under war time
restrictions, contending that the
condition of uncertainties as to
when the protection would end had
held off new capital and eXpan-
sion. He added that to make the
industry able to meet all comers,
it should have a five year embargo.
The original provision in the pres
ent bill was for three year ban.
On the other side of the ques-
ton. George Demming of Philadel-
phia, representing the Association
of Hosiery and Underwear Manu-
facturers, contended that there
was q danger confronting textile

turers for their supplies. They

once they had been laundered.
Such a situation, he continued,
eventually would result in Ameri-
can dry goods houses going to for
eign lands for their stocks.
Mr.. Demming also described to
the committee treatment which he
said had been accorded dye users
by the war trade section Of the
state department. which has juris-
diction over dye import licenses.
Some Of these cases. he said, could

''gross care1essness or favoritism

war, he added, but new deal, he
said, was due with the rapid re-
turn to normal conditions in the

half of these stations have been
erected during the past five years,

immense amount of power has
been used in all kinds Of industrial
