SILESIAN PROBLEM is
REGARDED AS A MOST
IMPORTANT QUESTION

Geneva, Aug. 13 (by the Asso-
ciated Press) Settlement Of the
Upper Silesian problem. which has
been entrusted to the league OF
nations, is regarded in league cir
cles as the most important question
with which that body has yet been
faced. 1t is feared that a solution
will be prolonged as a great mass
of documents must be examined
and the experts must be heard.
From the moral viewpoint the
fact that the perplexing problem
has been referred to the league Of
nations is deemed as adding con-
siderably to the leagues prestige.

Indicted for the Crime,
Spend a Rather Quiet Day

tpy The AssocInted Press,

Los Angeles, Calf. Aug. Ia
The discovery by bathers at Santa
Monica today of a twelve-gauge
shotgun near the beach shore line
gave the prosecutors an embarrass-
ment of riches in their efforts to
build up convincing case against
those accused of the murder OF
John Bolton Kennedy here last
week. They already had In their
possession the stock portion Of a.
double -barreled shotgun, found in
the ocean DAY earlier and were
working on the theory that the
first find was the weapon with
which Kennedy was slain.
Two Are Indicted.
The young broker was shot
down on the steps or his simmer
home at Beverly Glen eight days
ago and Mrs. Madalynne Oben-
chain, who was with him, and
Arthur C. Burch. a former class
innate of Mrs. Obenchain, have been
indicted for the crime.
Mrs. Obenchain and Burch spent
rather quiet day in the county
Jail The former appeared the
more composed and in better ply
sical trim than since her arrest.
Burch, on the contrary, gave grow
ing evidence of strain and nervous
ness which increased perceptibly
after he was viewed by Charles s.
.Summar, a realty broker, who de-
clined to say what he knew Of the
case, but was said by officers to
have been asked to identify Burch
as the man he saw at the Santa
Monica ocean front late on the
night of the shooting.
Obenchain Speeds Westward.
r. 3. Obenchain, of Chicago, di-
vorced husband of Madalynne
|Obenchain, was expected here to-
morrow afternoon. having left
Chicago for Los Angeles at the tele-
graphic request of his former wife.
The Rev. William A. Burch,
father of the accused man, is re-
ported to be coming on the same
train. ~~
Mrs. Emma E. Smart, mother OF
Mrs. Obenchain, said today she
had asked Mr. Obenchain to remain
at her home while here and hoped
he would do so.

HIGHTOWE R MAY
BE ARRESTED ON
MURDER CHARGE
ltinerant Baker Is Being En-
meshed in a Chain of Cir
CumstantiaI Evidence in
Death of Priest.
tBy The Associated Press.)

San Francisco, Calf, Aug. 13.--
A formal charge Of murder today
loomed~out' of the tangled skein Ct
gruesome circumstances developed
by the police against William y.
Hightower, an itinerant baker, in
the sixty-odd hours since he led
party of six at midnight Wednes-
day through the fog to the wind
swept, shallow, sand cliff grave
which gave forth the body of the
murdered priest Of Colma, the
Rev. Patrick L. Heslin,
Hightower's calm, cynical, self
possession of the past two days
changed to restlessness, irritation
and nervous agitation as the re-
lentless, constant flood tide of cir
cumstantial evidence seemed 10
all but engulf him, sweeping away
bits of his story upon which his
defense from suspicion mainly
seemed to rest.
His Alibl CrumbIes.
His strongest point, the alibi of
his movements on the night of Au-
gust 2, when the priest was called
forth upon an errand of mercy but
to meet a most violent death,
crumbled today when Miss Doris
Shirley appeared at police head
quarters and voluntarily denied
Hightower's statement that she
had accompanied him to San Jose
in the machine which he rented
that fateful evening.
To this rift in his defense was
added the opinion of the police de-
partment handwriting expert that
he had mo hesitancy in stating
that the handwriting of the ram
som letter (to Archbishop Hanna
demanding $6,500 for ransom of
the priest) is the same as that of
William A. Hightower," striking
proofs of "unquestioned similar
ity" were present not only in CHI
Biography but in misspelling, saidt
the expert.

CONTROL OF FOOD DISTRIBUTION
In RUSSIA BY AMERICAN RELIEF
Administration is AGREED TO
Director Brown and Soviet
Representative Come to
an Understanding in Con-
ference at Riga.
lny The AssocIated press.l

Riga, Aug, 13 (by the Associated
Press. Control by the American
relief administration of food distri-
button in the famine districts of
Russia was agreed to in principle
this afternoon by Maxim Litvinoff,
representative of the soviet famine
relief committee. The agreement
was reached in negotiations with
Walter Lyman Brown, European
director of the American relief ad-
ministration, which began here
Wednesday.
Methods of applying American
control, local administration and
other details were not taken up, to-
day, but are to be considered at a
conference to be held next week.
Following the conclusion of to-
days meeting there appeared to be
no insurmountable obstacle to keep
the American relief administration
from working in harmony with the
soviet government and a Russian
non-partisan committee on foreign
relief.
M. Litvinoff also accepted the
that the American relief
administration be given sanitary
control in the famine districts in
order to guard against cholera, in
case such authority is asked. He
also guaranteed personal safety and
freedom of communication to
relief workers, together
with equal priority with Russian
famine relief organizations with
regard to transportation. The So
Wet authorities are to pay trans
port charges from ports to inter-
ior destinations.
The main point of contest now
appears to be the apprehension Of
the bolsheviki that the Americans
might place active political oppo-
nents of the soviets into posts
where they would control the Rus
sian committees on whom the work
Of actual distribution of American
food would fall.

I've years ago the new trans
Mississippi champion was a caddie
on the links of the Salt Lake City
Country club. His employer was
w. j. Halloran, president of the
club. When the youthful Won Elm
began to show promise Of becoming
Ia golfer, Halloran took him m
charge. He sent the lad through
high school and that year-1916--
Won Elm won the Utah state cham
pionship at the age of Is years.
He repeated in 1917 and in 1920.
In June, 1921, Won Elm won the
Northwest Pacific championship at
Portland, Ore.
The title annexed by the Utah
player today gives him a claim TO
the honor of being the premier
golfer Of the far west. He plans TO
play in the national amateur cham
pionship at st. Louis. The cham
pion played wonderful golf up to
the twenty eighth hole, when he
had the title in his grasp. Then he

Bromfield won it with a birdie.
But he steadied after losing
these two holes, shooting a par five
on the next for the match.
With the exception of a few
missed puts, Won Elm played al
most perfect golf throughout the
thirty holes. He took six on but
two holes, one a par four and the
other a par five. He had four
brides and for the thirty holes was
but five strokes over par. Brom-
field was fifteen strokes over par.
Only one of Won Elm's drives was
off the line with the pin. He
sliced one approach, otherwise his
game was unbeatable. He lost
only three of the twelve holes Of
the afternoon round. Two weru1
halves.
Won Elm drove Bromfield
throughout the morning eighteen.
The Coloradoan had a little better
of the approaches but Won Elm's
putting more than offset this adj
vantage. Bromfield was in trouble
several times, taking seven on
the twelfth hole and six on the
seventeenth after he shot into the
bunkers.
Won Elm had four brides on the

pay up the amount she undertook
to pay under the London ultima
tum and agrees to remove the boy

II Is understood will be held pre-
vious to the Washington disarma-

Premier BRAND consented the
! question of the occupation of the
right bank of the Rhine should be
reconsidered.
BRAND Replies to Attacks.
With the question of the DISPOSE
ton of Upper Silesia out of its
hands, the council went to work
today on the other matters which
1t had to take under advisement.
The decisions were reached after
M. BRAND as president OF the
council, replied to attacks made by
Lord Curzon, the British foreign
secretary, and Sir Robert Stephens
Horne, chancellor of the British
exchequer, against what was term
ed the present expensive system of
administering the treaty. especially
as concerned occupation of the
Ruhr region.
This, Lord Curzon said, "is very
costly and also irritating to Ger
man national sentiment and pride"
The chancellor of the British ex-
chequer argued that continuance
OF the present system impoverish-
ed every one of the interested
powers, and that means ought to
be examined for reducing the cost,
as the high expense means less
reparations.
- To Study Cost Cut Plans.
1t was agreed to create an inter-
allied commission of financial ex-
perts, on which the United States
would be represented, to study
ways and means whereby a reduc-
tion in occupation costs might be
devised.

utteranees regarding Lord Curzon's
reference to German national sent

continuance of occupation of the
three Ruhr cities.
"The French government"
declared M. BRAND, "has no
intention whatsoever of hurt
ing Germany's national senti-
ment or maintaining occupa-
tion OF the Ruhr cities indeft-
nitely. But there also is the
national sentiment of France
to be taken into account.
Occupation of Duisberg,

Steer Him Up Against an Oil Exchange; He
"Wins" $4,000, But Later Loses it and More
Too, He Tells Police. .4

The Oklahoman was delighted,
he said, with meeting a man who
knew the city SO well that he pro-
posed another inspection trip the
following day. It was on this trip,
he told Captain Rinker, that a
man who gave his name as H. E.

Urged by Stanley, so Kanabuts
says, Hathaway agreed TO show
Stanley and Kanabuts an oil ex-
change where investments could
be made and where one who un-
derstood could "clean up"
The exchange, the complaint
said, is in Denver office build
ing. After some speculation, which
followed Hathaway's advice 'to
buy Mexican Petroleums," Kama
butts said he won $4,000. But
there was rule. That rule, so
Kanabuts said, was that sums of
large amounts could not be paid
out until spectators proved they
were not operating on a shoe
string"
Kanabuts said he was asked to
show some money as proof that he
was able to back up his transac-
ttions. According to his complaint,
ne returned to Sapulpa, got a
check for $4,000 which he
brought back to Denver and after
cashing, lost, along with his $780,
900 he had won, at the alleged
fake bucket shop.
Mr.. Stanley. Kanabuts said, "felt
50 sorry about it, that he offered
to make his -,s25, 900 good. "You
just go on to st. Louis and as soon
as can get my affairs straight-
ened out / will send you the mon
ey there" Mr.. Stanley is quoted as
saying.
II was on July 81 that Kanabuts
said he lost his money. CAPTAIN

They both lived for those they loved and there were many heart tugs when it was found necessary to change their home because of the wan ing health sof Mrs. Dutton, and the move to Kingman, where they were soon accepted at their splendid worth as freinds and neighbors.
 MT. Dutton came to Flagstaff from Illinois in 1883 with the Aver Lumber company. Mir. Ed. Aver, the founder of the company, was cousin of Mrs. Dutton. When in later years the Aver Lumber Go. was taken over by the Riordans, MT.
