MRS. KABER IS FOUND CUILTY;
 LIFE SENTENCE
Jury Quickly Finds Woman Guilty of Murdering
 Wealthy Husband.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 16.- Mrs. Eva Katherine Kaber has been found guilty of first degree murder for plotting the death of her hus- band, Daniel F. Kaber, a wealthy publisher, two years ago.
 The jury recommended mercy.
 This afternoon Mrs. Kaber was sentenced to imprisonment for life.
 Mrs. Kaber has practically been in a stupor since the case went to the jury last night.
 The murder trial has been one of the most sensational in the history of the state Mrs. Kaber's attorneys used every known legal phrase to secure an acquittal. First, no women were permitted on the jury as the attorneys claimed women were too severe. Then alienists were placed on the stand to give testimony that Mrs. Kaber was insane and had been so for years. In the final arguments, notwithstanding the great amount of testimony to the contrary, Mrs. Kaber's attorneys declared she had been abused by her husband in a most cruel manner. The attorneys also claimed that she was being rushed to the gallows or to prison because her husbands relatives were always against her" before and after the crime.
 Mrs. Kaber was shadowed for nearly two years before she was finally arrested two months ago and brought back from the state of New York.

The jury retired to the bar and, after
due deliberation, returned with a ver-
dict of guilty and presentment that
the defendant should be hanged from
the yardarm.
The courtroom was crowded all dur
ing the trial, and because the audience
did not wish to miss any of the heavy
legal argument, stewards were busily
engaged in bringing them refreshments.
Among those present were General
Fayolle and commission from the
French government en- route to Canada,
where they will present a bust of
Rodn to the Canadians. Charles
Ledoux, bantamweight champion of
Europe, also was there, along with a
large number of French and English
newspaper men on their way to attend
the Dempsey Carpenter fight.

was found that the trial had cost each
person present approximately sc
francs 70 centimes, exclusive OF tips

Early Action In
Sale of Allied
Bonds Planned
Congress Will Be Asked at
Once for Legislation to
Dispose of 10 Billion
Foreign Debt i'm America
Bankers Meet Tomorrow
President to Confer With
Westerners on Methods
to Restore Prosperity
From The Trtbunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON June 2I.-Withir

From The Trtbmncs Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June zI.-Within
forty-eignt hours, it was announced
after to-day's Cabinet meeting, re-
quest will be sent to Congress for
legislation to permit the sale of Allied
bonds to American investors. These
bonds, as was announced at the White
House last week, will be sold and the
money turned into the Treasury, can
ceiling the ten billions of debt now
represented by the certificates of the
Allied governments.
1t also was announced That the sec
ond conference of bankers with view
TO planning measures for the restora-
tion Of prosperity will be held at the
White House Thursday night. Follow
ing the conference some weeks ago
with Eastern fnanciers, the conference
Thursday night will be with Western
bankers. The meeting will be held at
dinner in the White House, at which
President Harding, Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon and Secretary of Com
merce Hoover will talk over plans with
bankers from the Middle West.
The White House to-day declined to
give the names of the bankers invited,
indicating that there might be some
changes by tomorrow morning. The
general idea, it was explained, will be
precisely the same as in the previous
conference, and it is possible, though
not definitely decided, that a third
group of bankers may be called in
later.
After the sfrst conference it was
learned that the bankers had promised
President Harding to give cordial sup
port to the corporations intended to
finance exports, which hitherto had
been unable to raise the money neces-
sary to carry out the purpose for which
they were intended.
Moves have been made since to meet
an idea advanced by the bankers, to
the effect that the penalizing rate on
rediscounts which had been imposed in
some of the Middle Western states by
the Reserve banks should be removed,
The bankers pointed out that this
tended to make the bankers charge
the higher rate on all loans, and thus
increased the burden on those farm
ers who have been carrying their crops
on loans.
The President is extremely anxious
to accomplish something which will
stimulate exports. He believes that
when the farmers begin finding sales
for those commodities for which re-
Gently there has been but slight de-
mand the whole situation in this coun-
try will be improved, and that it will
result in increased railroad earnings
| in moro business for the Shipping
Board feet and, working round the
circle, in stimulating the buying OF
manufactured products by the farmers
