ObENCHA|N WILL
 AID IN DEFENSE
Former Husband of Accused Woman Granted Permis-
 sion to Appear

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15. - Attor- neys who have undertaken the begin ming of the legal battle for Mrs. Madelynne Obenchain accused here of implication in the mysterious mur- der of her former sweetheart, J. Bel ton Kennedy, broker, on August 5, late today went into conference to lay definite plans for the defense of the young woman.
 At the meeting of the young wo- mans counsel, were present the at torney who represented her at her arraignment today and asked for a weeks extension of time to enter pleas to the charge of murder, and her divorced husband, Ralph R. Oben- chain, Chicago attorney, whom she called here to aid her.
 Since the evidence now in the hands of the prosecution involves not only Mrs. Obenchain but a college friend, Arthur c. Burch Of Evanston, Ills, it is expected the preliminary plan of defense for the woman will be coupled shortly with the defense c. the young man, and the two defended by one attorney, when they are tried jointly-as they were indicted.
 In this case, it is indicated. Oben- chain probably will act as advisory counsel Obenchain, who arrived here Sunday and announced after see ing Mrs. Obenchain that he would ap- pear as her attorney, was unable to do so today, because at that time he had not been admitted to practice Tn California courts. Later, he was ad- mitted without formality for this case only.
 The status. of the case legally now is one of rest until next Monday, when the two must enter their pleas Co charges of murder.

 Plight of Farmers
HEARING IS CONTINUED
l. C. C. Report Says Railroads Should Voluntarily Cut
 Rates on Livestock

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15-Bankers, economists and farmers, testifying to- day before the interstate commerce commission, attributed the present plight of western agriculturists in a large measure to high freight rates on grain products and hay. The tes timony was presented in a case grow. ing out of complaint against present rates by the Kansas public utilities commission, sS.d joined in by 19 other state commissions and by various shippers and producers organiza tions. The hearing is expected to be concluded Friday and arguments will begin immediately thereafter.
 F. w. Peck, director of the agricul tural department of the University oi Minnesota, said that the farmer de. pended upon his profit on labor and that grain producers now were re ceiving but 15 cents an hour, on the average, for their labor. Any de. crease in freight rates would be added indirectly to this 15 cents an hour, he cOntended, and would materially in crease the profit of the farmers. A decrease in freight rates of two cents bushel would represent an increase of p per cent on this profit, he said

a>hjrgton-The American govern
ment has taken an unequivocal stand
with regard 10 its right to voice in
the disposition Of the former over

Secretary Colby in his note to the
council of the league Of nations, made
public. submits that disposition OF

Furthermore, ne states that the

Referring to the zap mandate, Sec

the London Royal College Of Surgeons
in the early part OF the past century
The author has never been found
though 4 reward OF fifty guineas was
offered for his recovery. It seems re-
aarkable in view at least of the
great amount Of publicity given to the
verses at the time of their finding
and ever since, that no one came forth
to claim their authorship, nor after
the most careful search has il been
possible to find who has expressed
/ these beautiful thoughts on the dis
! carded paper.
There must be some mystery con
| cealed behind them, for otherwise it
! would appear so unnatural that the
author should disown his much adj
mired effort. The efforts to find him
have been most diligently prosecuted
by literary men of both continents,
and in one instances. among the many
an American was named as having
written the poem.
The first copy of the poem To

unsigned. but when it was printed in
the European Magazine" of NoTem-
Der. 1916. it bore the initial " This
was the signature OF Miss Annie
Jane Vardill, and while this young wo-
man frequently contributed to this
magazine, she has made a complete
denial of having written "To a Skele-
ton"
The story Of the finding Of the poem
is an interesting one. One day, while
an attendant of the royal College of
Physicians and Surgeons of London
was passing through the library Of
that institution. he observed few
sheets OF paper lying carelessly on
table. A pen. ink and skull we're the
only other objects on the table. When
he picked Up the sheets he noticed
they we're still damp. He biotted them
carefully and turned them over to
the librarian. 1t was a holiday and
the librarian at once demanded 10

when visitors were not allowed.
The rebuked attendant hurried away
in search Of the offender. Only a
professor and two janitors were TO be
found in the building. He hurried
back to his superior and rec3mmen-
ded that the verses be burned, As
they evidently had been written by
some supernatural hand.
Instead of doing so, the librarian
placed them on the desk Of the dean
of the college. where they lay for some
time and were found so interesting
and exceptional that they were read
and copied by a great many profess
