GRAND JURY II HEAR EV|DE NCE IN L0S ANGELES KILN | I ODAY

IRepubIican A. P. Leased WireJ
 LOS ANGELES. Aug. 10-The mills of justice ground slowly today in separating the wheat from the chaff in the investigation of the shooting of J. Belton Kennedy here last Fri day.
 Neither Arthur c. Burch. held on Suspicion of murder, nor Mada1ynne Obenchain, held as a material wit ness, was subjected to any extended questioning today. Mrs. Obenchain. the young divorced woman who was with Kennedy on the steps of his summer home in Beverly Glen when he was shot, was not taken to the district attorneys office today. Burch, her college classmate, who was re- turned here in custody from Nevada following his departure the day after the shooting. was taken to the district attorneys office for a brief confer ence with that official and two depu- ties.
 Late today it was announced that the evidence in the case would be presented to the Los Angles county grand jury tomorrow and that in- dictments would be requested. It was anticipated that they could not be returned before some time Friday, as Is witnesses were summoned to appear
 The funeral of Kennedy was held today from the chapel of an under taking firm here. It was attended by a large number of persons but was without unusual incident.
 While the friends and relatives of Kennedy were gathered about his casket, deep sea divers began a search Of the ocean floor just off the shore that Hanks the base of Santa Monica canyon. They were looking for 12-g gauge shot gun, in the be- lief that the men who shot Kennedy had thrown the weapon into the ocean. That theory was based on the mile age shown by the trip speedometer on a car believed to have been driven from Los Angeles to Beverly Glen, conc ealed there while the shooting was accomplished. then returned to | the automobile livery from which it | had been rented.
 l TLe mileage was just sufficient to | have made the trip to and from the l Glen and the additional run from the l Glen to the spit below Santa Monica, where the search started. A study of the routes from the Glen to the ocean l led the authorities to select a definite | location to search for the missing weapon.
 Another development relating to Mrs. Obenchain was the receipt al the district attorneys office from a San Francisco hotel of large black bag almost the size of a steamer | trunk that originally was addressed
 to her at the hotel where she lived before her detention. When the piece
 of baggage was received at the dis
 trict attorneys office it was exam ined and then a hurry call was sent for the chief detective attached tc I (Continued on Page Two)

PRISONERS
 THINK FAMINE MAY . OVERTHROW SOV|ETS
rRepubIlean A. p. Leased wire]

RENAL, Aug. 10.-The six ,Ameri- cans released from Moscow prisons who arrived here this morning passed happy day shopping and outfitting themselves after shedding their pris- on clothes and undergoing the cleans ing necessary to comply with the health regulations.
 The men who have received their freedom are Capt. Emmett Fitzpatrick of Uniontown. Ala; William Flick, H. J. Lamarc and Dr. w. B. Estes of cine. Wis. and Russell Pattinger of San Francisco. All decided to remain in Reval for several days before go- ing to Riga, and sent cablegrams to relatives in the United States asking for replies in care of the Red Cross at Revai.
 Relieved of their shaggy boards, fur caps and Russian uniforms, the Americans assumed a different ap- pearance; they were all greatly re- duced .n flesh and ravenously hum gry and were unable to pass food shop without stopping in apparent amazement.
 The Russian bolsheviki sent the Americans by special car from Mos COW to Narva. where the barbed wire gates dividing the soviet republic from Esthonia swung open and per mitted the car to be transferred to Esthonian territory. When the dis heveled and ragged Americans looked from the car windows and saw the half starved bolsheviki guarding the east side of the line. while well fed and well uniformed Esthonians con- trolled the west side, they chaffed the bolsheviki, telling them that that is what communism does for people
 By courtesy of the Esthonian gov ernment The Americans were not stopped at the border, but were brought to Revai for cleansing by the American Red Cross. which Will care for them until. they are rested and ready to travel home
 The Americans are unanimous in their belief that no group is develop ing strength likely to upset the bol- shevik government, but that famine may achieve its overthrow, because the masses belittle the government for the reason that it has abandoned

MILAN OPPOSES
 MANDATE FROM
 STATE CAPITAL

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Council for the legislative committee investigat- ing the city administration regaled Mayor Hylan today with figures showing, heavy municipal debts and tax burdens and then inquired if he knew of any means of relief. The mayor said he knew of but one way to cut down the taxes and that was for the state legislature to cease pass ing mandatory legislation" and to remove the s22,000.000 tin direct taxes
 which it already had imposed on the city.
 The mayor was told that municipal
 taxes had increased from $3592 per
 capita in 1917 to s59.99 this year, that
 the city was far beyond it's constitu-
 tional debt limit and S24,00O, 900 past the tax limitation fixed by the state constitution at 2 per cent of the as-
 sessed valuation. Budget appropria- tions had grown from S230, 0,00o. .OO0
 when he took office in 1918 to s313,- oO0,00 this year, and the municipal salaries, increased $30, ,000, 900 during the same period.
 Mayor Hyian declared he was op- posed to cutting the salaries of city | employees and office holders. though 1 he realized big corporations were do- l ing it and the cost of living had l dropped. The main aim of his ad-
 ministration was to reduce taxes, he i said. He was then told that much of the s22, 100000 tax imposed by the l legislature covered increases ir 1 school teachers salaries which the 1 lawmakers authorized
 1 Asked for suggestions for any economy that would reduce the ta1 burden. Mayor Hylan proposed amending the laws of 1914 to give
 New York the same home rule privi- | leges accorded smaller municipalities l Then there would be an opportunity ] to cooperate and construct city de | partments, he said.
 But if we are going to be governed by mandate from Albany, we won I get anywhere" he added.

rRepubllean A. P. Leased WIre1

IRepubIlcan A. F. Leased Wire1
 WASHINGTON. Aug. 10-Speeding up orders were given in congress to- day under an agreement between President Harding and Republican leaders for a 30-day adjournment of both house and senate about August %. provided that in the meantime the agricultural credits measure is en- acted and the house passes the tax revision bill.
 Under the tentative plan the rail- road debt funding the allied debt re- funding and other bills will go over until September. Enactment of sev- era1 other important measures before the recess date, however, is contem- plated.
 The recess and legislative program was arranged more definitely by the president at a luncheon today with Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, Re- publican leader. and Senator Curtis. Kansas. assistant leader after the presidents discussion yesterday with house leaders.
 Representations by Senators Lodge and Curtis that tariff. tax and rail- road funding legislation would act- ualIy be expedited by the proposed recess were said to have figured largely in the presidents assent to the S0-day vacation. The senators said the senate finance committee, by working uninterruptedly during the recess period. could make much greater speed on the tariff and tax bills.
 The speeding up process, it was pointed out. rests with the house where the tax and agricultural credit bills are pending. The senate has before it only minor bills and plans a weekend recess beginning tomor- row.
 Before the recess. leaders expect to complete enactment of the Capper- Tincher grain anti gambling bill the shipping boards deficiency appropri- alton bill and the Willis Campbell anti-beer measure. The new Republi- can bill to extend the Fordney emer- Eency tariff law until the perman- eut bill is enacted. it was indicated probably will go over until after the recer s.

SMALL CHARGES
 POLITICAL GANG
 FRAMED ARREST
IeepubIIcan A. p. Leased wirel

SPRINGFIELD, H., Aug. 10. = Offers by States Attorney Mortimer of change of venue for Governor Small, a vicious assault by the gov ernor upon his political enemies in Sangamon county, and an announce ment that State Treasurer Edward E. Miller had turned in s385,071.21 in- terest money to the treasury for the first six months of his term, were the principal developments of today in the seething capital of Illinois.
 Monthly earnings on state money put out at interest by Miller as de- tailed in the statement, follows:
 January, s30.0s9.O6; Ferbruary, s49,514.6S; March, s56,153.75; April, $51,77433; May, $5S.636.04; June, S55,- 335.23; July, sS3.55s.12.
 The governors statement in part follows:
 'The governor of Illinois has been falsely indicted and falsely arrested through the machinations of a gang holding in utter disregard the con stitution and laws of this state.
 Contrary to the accepted princi- ples of our government and at the behest of corrupt conspirators, the authority of the people has been prostituted to the purpose of law less ring. This ring composed of the most vicious clements in Sangamon county, is aided and abetted by com mercialized newspapers such as the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Daily News, by Attorney General Edward J. Brundage and United States Senator Medill Mccormick
 T desire to say I have never evad- ed arrest upon the framed up charg- es in my indictment in the many counties of this state which I have since visited. No molestation has been attempted, except in gang-ruled Sangamon county.
 Notwithstanding pretensions of decency, my enemies maliciously staged a spectacular arrest under cir and disgrace the people of our state. Even though the sheriff stated he had no thought that I would evade arrest, nevertheless the capitol of the state was beSieged and surrounded by an army of deputies drawn from tEe slums of the city of Springfield, and when I was finally arrested in the executive mansion, the sheriff per emptorily refused to examine oI accept a bond with ample surety which I presented and forcibly took me from the executive mansion and paraded me through a mob which had been assembled to jeer and insult ! the governor. The bond finally was accepted without change.
 My innocence is known to me.
 Proceedings thus far have bee founded on untruth. The next pro- ceeding must reveal the truth"
