GHOSTS" HIRED To
BRIGHTEN HIM. SAYS
ALLEGED CONFESSION

NEW YORK, June 10.-Dan F.
Kaber, Wealthy Lakewood, o., pub
Usher, met death after attacking two
foreigners engaged by Mrs. Kaber
to pose as spirits to brighten him
into a better attitude toward her,
according to a statement which the
New York Evening World today says
Chief of Police Christensen obtained
from Mrs. Kaber here.
The newspaper quotes Chief Chris
Jensen as saying that Mrs. Kaber
had consulted a woman medium for
advice as to how to change her hus-
bands attitude toward her. The
publishers surly manner after an
illness was said to have occasioned
the visit.
By advice of this medium, Mrs. Ka-
Der was said to have employed two
foreigners to appear at her hus-
bands bedside in the night as ghosts
and, as she expressed it, to try and
shake a little civility into him.
Aroused from his slumber, Mr..
Kaber was alleged to have attacked
the tWNe men and to have been stab
bed to death by them in the strug-
gle.
According to the newspaper, Chief
Christensen said Mrs. Kaber had de-
clared that she had refused to pay
the two foreigners when they reap
peared after the funeral, asserting
they had not fulfilled the role of
ghosts as she had intended. and that
she would not involve herself by
paying for murder.
Mrs. Kaber then was said to have
fled to New York to escape the for
eigners without advising the Cleve-
land police for fear of involving her
self.
Captain Carey, of the homicide bu-
reau, characterized stories concern
ing an alleged consultation with
medium and the hiring Of foreigners
to pose as spirits as news to him.
He steadfastly refused to comment
on the character of the statements
made by the women. He said he
had agreed, with the Ohio authorities
to maintain silence and that the case
was now out of his jurisdiction.

NO FORMAL TREATY
FOR j. s. AND MEX

MEXICO CITY, June 9.-(By the
Associated Press.)-Formal sigma
ture Of treaty between Mexico and
the United States as a condition to
recognition of the Obregon admin
istration by Washington is impossi-
BILE, said a statement issued at the
presidential office last night. Presi-
dent Obregon declined to meet news
paper men, but his private secretary,
Fernando Torreblanca, said there was
nothing to add to recent pronounce
ments by the Mexican government
and that the situation was not
changed.
At the same time a statement was
issued by the foreign office, de-
claring that a commercial treaty be-
tween the United States and Mexico
was desirable, but that the Mexican
president did not possess the right
to conclude treaty Of a political
nature such as was proposed by the
United States in it's recent memoran-
dunn to the Mexican government.
1.-THE treaty of amity and commerce
proposed by the United States on
May 81" said the statement, con
tanned two sections, one pertaining
to commerce and the other regarding
better political relations. The clauses
relative to commerce would be ac-
ceptable after the making Of some
notifications and additions which
would avoid later conflicts.
I'm the political phase, the Amerl-
can note was Objectionable, because
it contained stipulations which were
contrary to the precepts of the Mex
lean constitution. and which the
president, who must first of all have
regard for the constitution, has no
power to accept. The constitution, in
effect, prohibits expressly in article
fifteen the celebrating of conventions
or treaties which may alter guaran-
tees or rights established by the
constitution"

ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT
By ROY K MOULTON

She hasn't been to Hicksville since
the famous day she left
The moral OF the tale is that per-
haps 1t isn't true.
1t happened not to Mary. but per-
haps 1t might to you.
Our naval technique may be all
wrong, but we can hardly see the
use Of having so many battleships.
Suppose three nations should get
into a triangular war, which we
submit as a novel and original
idea. II each of these nations had
one battleship and these boats
should get out and bang away at
one another. would they not accom-
plish as much as though each ma
ton had forty battleships and they
all banged away at each other:
We expect to bring this arRumen Mt
before the conclsve at Washington
We believe 1t has its merits. If
there must be a war on land, let
each nation send one man, and let
them scrap It out with gloves
brass knuckles or shootinE-irons
In the long run just as much will
be gained. No nation gains any
thing in a modern war. for the ma =
ton that wins is licked. II they
would take all the gold braid ano
make 1t into gold leaf signs for
barber shops. take the cannon and
convert them into sewer tubes, use
all the swords for cutting cheese,
and make all the battleships over
into homes for aged seamen and
trout-hshing liars, it would not hurt
the feelings of the column the
smallest part Of an iota.
