charge against him except that OF
conspiring with Lieutenant Cover.
nor Fred Z. Sterling and Vernon
ECurtis to defraud the state oi
$2,000,OO0 during Mr.. Sterling's
term as state treasurer.
All charges of embezzlement
during his own term as state treas.
urer were stricken from the rec
ord, partly by Judge Claire A. Ed
wards and partly by the state, and
the court also quashed a charge OF
operating a confidence game.
Tonight Governor Small issued a
statement declaring that what oc-
cured today in the circuit court Of
Lake county will lay bare to the
public mind the methods employed
and the inspiration causing these
indictments"
The date Of his trial on the one
charge remaining still is uncertain.
Judge Edwards. in his decision on
the motion to quash the indict-
ments ordered the governor to trial
January on an indictment charg-
ing him with embezzlement of
100000 during the last six months
of his term as state treasurer.
States Attorney C. Fred Morti-
mer and his assistants staged a
vigorous fight to bring the COVER
nor to trial first on the conspiracy
charge, and failing in that nolled
the embezzlement indictment rath-
Ter than try it first. James II. Will
(kerson, assistant attorney general
of Illinois, one of Mr.. Mortimer's
aides, explained to the court the
state desired to try the conspiracy
case first because all the books and
records needed in il had been left
in the treasurer's office and not
carried away"
The embe2zlement indictments
besides charging the governor with
misappropriation of 100000 in
state interest money, also alleged
he had destroyed or ca. ried away
many of the records Of tho treas
urer's office.
The next step in the legal battle
between the governor and his pros
ecutors will be staged here Satur-
day, January z. when the defense
expects to present q motion asking
for separate trials for the governor
and Mr.. Curtis, who are both de-
PENDANTS under the conspiracy
charge.

ON UNEMPL0Y IS
ADVOCATED BY LABOR

Geneva, Dec. ga recommend
alton that an international confer
ience be called to consider reme-
dies for unemployment was adopted
by the third international labor
conference recently held here. The

OF the seven conventions adopted,

der IA can be employed on farms
only outside of school hours. An
other would give the farm hands
the right of organization enjoyed ny
industrial workers. A third con-
yention would extend to them rights
TO indemnities for accidents arising
out of their employment, as enjoyed
by other workers.
Two Of the conventions applied to
seamen, one fOrbidding the en-
ployment in bunkers and stokeholdss
Of boys less than 1S years old and
the other requiring yearly exam
ination of every youth under IL en-
ployed on ship.
Another convention adopted pro-
vides for a minimum rest period OF
twenty-four hours in all industrial
every week, where
ever possible on the same day.
These were in addition to a con-
van+ion forhidding the use of white
lead and sulphate of lead in inter-
ior decoration, as cabled at the
time of its adoption. The confer
ence also adopted recommendations

PRODUCERS ARE
WIDELY DIVIDED
ON OIL DUTIES
Mid Continent Operators
Propose Varying LevieS,
American Operators in
Mexico Oppose LevieS.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Varying
duties on crude oil were proposed
before the senate finance commit
tee today py spokesmen for mid
continent producers ana all duties
were opposed by American pro-
ducers operating in Mexico and rep
resentatiyes of the various classes
of oil consumers in this country.
Renewing the fight for a tariff
levy which was lost in the house by
AN overwhelming vote, Senator
Harold, republican, oklahoma,
said he was satisfied with the
original rates proposed by the ways
and means committee, thirty-flVe
cents barrel on crude and twenty
five cents a barrel on fuel.
A duty of one dollar barrel was
urged by Harry H. Smith, of Tulsa,
Okla, secretary of the Mid-Contl-
nenth0 Oil and Gas association, who
said this would equalize the differ
ence in cost of production in Mex
leo and in the mid-continent fields.
w. II. Gray, of Tulsa, represent
ing the National Association of ln-
dependent Oil Producers, urged that
the president be empowered to as
sess q duty equivalent to the COM
bined import and export levies I'M.
posed by Mexico, Colombia and
Venezuela, frcm which the chlel
American imports come.
Spokesman for the domestic pro-
ducers said, and some members OF
the committee agreed that the mid
continent industry was in a BAD
condition at this time. Mr.. Smith
said that 100000 small wells could
not continue in operation at pres
ent prices and tariff ought to be
enacted as protection and a con-
servation measure.
Opponents of a duty on oil sald
tariff protection was not neces-
sary and would serve only to in
crease the price to consumers. They
laid particular stress upon what
they said would be the effect on the
farmers, the merchant marine, the
navy, the consumers of manufact-
ured gas, railroads and industries
using Gil for fuel and upon the
users of automobiles, trucks and
tractors.
They also argued that higher
priced oil would increase the cost
of and retard road building ana
building operations and that since
the government aided in construct
ing the roads it would have to pay
part of the duty. This also was
true, they said, with respect to OIL
used by the navy.

BURCH IS GRAVE
AS He LISTENS
TO SPECIALISTS
Demeanor Of Alleged Slayer
OF Kennedy Changes As
AIienists Testify About
His Mental Condition.

Los Angeles, Calf, Dec. 29,-Ar-
thur C. Burch on trial for the, al
legged murder of J. Bolton Kenne-
dy, changed demeanor so greatly
today while alienists were testify
ing about his mental condition that
it was brought into the court rec
ord and n bailiff kept close to his
side during most Of the proceed
ings.
Doctors Charles L. Allen, Ernest
B. Hoag and E. H. williams, all
of Los Angeles. specialists in men
tal disorders, testified they be
lieved the defendant was sufferinF
from mental deterioration which
took the form of egotism, flippaH
cy and conceit. While these state
ments were being made, Burch
who had smiled almost continu'
ously during previous sessions an
had swung around in his swivel
chair, apparently paying little at
tention to the testimony, grew at
tentive and grave. keeping his eyes
fixed on the doctors, biting his lips
and swaying to and fro.
This attitude was most marked
when Dr. Williams spoke of Burch
as being "a little insignificant
man, who apparently considers
himself something great"
Later District Attorney Wool
wine asked DR.. Williams if he had
noticed chow serious Burch has
become today"
"Yes," replied the alienist, "and
7 think / know the reason. We
have been tramping on his ego"
might it not be because he IS
meditating on whether he will be
hanged"
II don't think So"
"Were you not here yesterday
while DR.. Allen was testifying and
Burch laughed outright?"
Yes, but it seemed to me he
was serious much of the time"
DR.. Williams said he frequently
had observed Burch, both in Jail
and in court and he had never
seen him show the least concern
over the charge against him. N
"On the occasion I first saw
him." DR.. williams testified,
"Burch had just received some
wild ducks from a friend for his
dinner. He showed more concern
over the way they would be pre-
pared than over the possibility of
his hanging"
