LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20.-Predic- tion that a complete alibi". would be established for Arthur c. Burch. in dicted with Mrs. Madelynne Oben- chain for the alleged murder of J. Belton Kennedy. was made today by Richard Kittrelle of counsel for the defendants The attorney did not go into details. but said he was confi- dent Burch would be able to account for every moment of his time on the night of August 5, when Kennedy was shot to death.
 The case against Mrs. Obenchain, he said. would fall because there was no evidence to convict her"
 A conference between Kittreue and his partner, Paul W. Schenck, and Ralph R. Obenchaln. former husband and attorney for Madelynne Oben- chain, will be held tomorrow, it was stated. to prepare for the appearance of the defendants in court Monday to plead 10 the indictment
 Another development today was the announcement of Obenchain that he would demand that the prosecution produce letters he declared were 1T the possession of J. D. Kennedy father of the dead man. He did no indicate what the letters were excep to say i-e +bSicNeu lilevI udu all III | portant bearing'' on the case.

Carlo Fido Et Al
 Are Tr Danger

Those who have dogs that do not want to fall into the hands of the dog catcher and be shot had better provide dog licenses today. for, according to program, the season will open this morn
 ing. So far, 1t is stated that only
 about 150 licenses have been pur- chased The people have perhaps
 been dilatory for the reason that
 for several years past. the busi-
 ness of selling licenses was
 brought to their doors and maybe,
 they expected that that would be
 done this year.
 But the city authorities con
 tented themselves with apprising the populace that it had dog licenses to sell and let it go at that What was needed was a
 salesman They took the position of the merchant who fills his store with goods and stands ready to wait upon such custo- mers as appear Of their own volition. He does not do much business.
 Perhaps, if the people turn out in sufficient numbers today the city government will hold the dog catcher back and avoid the dis grace that would attach to the appearance of his cart on the streets No douht the authorities would prefer to handle the dog l program in a decent way. Anyhow, those who want to save Tige, Fido. Carlo and the ] rest of them had better get busy

and water yesterday. paralyzed busi- ness and caused considerable damage, principally to streets of the city.
 It was the heaviest shower record ed in this city since the fall of 1919, weather bureau officials declared last evening. It brought the total rain- fall for the month to 1.35 inches. as compared with a normal precipitation for the entire month of .93 of an inch.
 And the worst is not yet. weather bureau directors said. The outlook for today and Tuesday is for addi- tional showers, with rainy weather preaviling generally throughout the district.
 Rainfall during the past three days has totaled 1.33 inches, Robert O. Grant. director of the local weather station. announced last evening. The storm broke shortly after II o'clock the water coming in sheets and driven by a strong wind. There was no letup in the storm until long after 1 o'clock. when the clouds broke way. At o'clock the sun was shin ing brightly, but Phoenicians had aplenty by which to remember that a storm had visited the city.
 Unpayed sections were hit unusu- ally hard, in many instances the water flowing down the streets from sidewalk to sidewalk. Travel was almost impossible: practically out of the question.
 Streets were transformed into seas of mud. Storm sewers were inca pablo Of carrying. off the great vol ume of water, with a result that even many of the paved streets presented appearances of small lakes.
 Those who braved the storm plowed and splashed through puddles of water knee deep and mud holes that in many cases ruined valuable garments. Getting to street cars was | like wading through Salt river during a dry season.
 But Phoenix was not the only place | to suffer. The storm was genera l throushout western California ane 1 central Arizona weather departmen | officials said, and from Needles cam' l the report of a two-inch rainfall yes | terday. It was one of the heaWes | storms in the history of the Califor l nia city.

Special pispatch To The Star.

Special Dispatch To The Star.
NEW YORK, November 26.-The
specter Of inventories is stalking the
merchants, business men and manu-
facturers of the country. Stocks
have declined appreciably, but re-
tailers are loath to refill their shelves
just before the annual inventory
taking. preferring to run the risk of
losing sales rather than to include
additional supplies Of goods in their
inventories. Manufacturers are TAX
ing similar stand regarding the
purchase of raw materials. This has
slowed up buying to certain ex-
tent. as business dispatches received
within the last twenty-four hours
show:
However, it has also added to the
probability of easier money rates and
a rush of buying slightly after the
first of the year. Merchants who
have turned their stocks into cash
are not putting their money back
into goods at present. but are max
ing temporary investments in short
time securities. They will buy the
goods eventually. as the shelves are
bare in many instances, and it is
er quantities than usual when they
finally send in their orders. In the
meantime much of the merchants
capital has found it's way into short
time commercial paper. Interest
rates on time loans are gradually
softening, and wei posted financiers
predict a food of cheap money to
lending purposes shortly after jan
uary Is, on which date many inter-
est payments fall due.
Bankers predict that time loans will
go as low as per cent, with call
money down below per cent, and
plenty of either available. This in

and some plants have been forced to
put on night shifts.
New oil fields in Texas and Louis
lana are witnessing renewed excite
ment with active drilling operations
and a keen demand for crude oil. AL
though the demand for lumber has
slackened perceptibly because winter
weather in some sections has halted
building operations, prices are well
maintained and some mills are run
ming on a schedule which will give
them some stock in hand when the
spring rush comes.
The advance in demand and price of
copper is not hurried, but it is not
being checked and is following the
reduction of surplus stocks. Its trend

edly will materially assist industrial
revival and go far toward speeding
up the return to normal prosperity.
Christmas Buying.
Christmas buying by the public has
exceeded expectations in many sec
tions of the country SO far, and is
increasing steadily in volume. The
demand is there and the total amount
of money expended in many cities is
years. but the demand is sensible
one for necessities rather than luxu-
ries and for useful gifts rather than
for extravagances. A large part OF
this trade is finding expression in the
purchase of clothing and wearing ap-
parel. In jewelry, although some dia-
monds are being sold over the coun.
ter. the demand is for the lower priced
goods, with silver-plated ware coming
in for a good deal Of attention.
Grain is still being held In many
sections of the country. Farmers in
duced freight rates to go into effect
before shipping and the grain held
for higher prices is piling up to such
an extent that the vessels on the
great lakes chartered for storage have
increased their rates.
Thank ksgiving did not serve to
bring turkey raisers and consumers
much nearer together. The consumers
are holding off in the hope that prices
will be lower for Christmas and rails
ers of birds are holding off in the
hope that they will be higher.
Paper Industry Improves.
The paper industry is rapidly COM
ing back to normal, with many of
the big plants working around 70 per
cent of capacity. Furniture makers
