Odell Dies in Chair
For Murder of Kneip
Rochester Slayer Refuses Usual
Farewell Meal; Says Prison
Fare Is Good Enough

OSSINING, N. Y, April 28.-James
Louis Odell, of Rochester, was put to
death at Sing Sing prison this evening
for the murder of Edward U. Kneip
in that city January z, 1920. He en-
tered the death chamber at I1:05 and
was pronounced dead at 1:14.
Odell's wife, Pearl Beaver Odell, is
serving life sentence at Auburn
prison for completely in the murder
and has attempted to take the whole
responsibility for it. With her is her
-months-old daughter, who never
saw her father.
Kneip, according to the testimony of
Odell and his wife, had wronged Mrs.
Odell before her marriage to Odell, and
after her marriage sought to blackmail
her. She told her husband, and, posing
as a detective, he arrested" kneip,
handcuffed him to tree on the out
skirts of Rochester, and then, with the
help of Mrs. Odell, beat him to death.
Odeil hoped for reprieve until the
last, the news having been kept from
him that Governor Miller early in the
lay had refused to grant final appeal
for his life. Contrary to the custom
of condemned men, Odell told Warden
Lewis f. Lawes that the regular prison
fare would be good enough for his last
meal.

OF 100 Million
ID. P. Kingsley Reveals He
Scorned Spy's Tender to
Have the Kitchener Sub
marine Contracts Broken
London Bid $50 Million
American Said Neither Brit
ain Nor Germany Had
Enough to Call Him Off

Germany offered Charles M. Schwab
Sl0O,O00,000 to break submarine con-
tracts he had made with Lord Kitcb-
ener for Great Britain, and Great
Britain came back with an offer of
$150,000,000 to hold the contracts valid
both offers being scorned by Schwab
according to a statement made bv
Darwin P. Kingsley yesterday at the
reception to the steel man given by
the Chamber of Commerce of the State
of New York
In telling the story Mr.. Kingsley.
president of the chamber, said that
Charles M. Schwab was in the very
center of the world conflict long be-
fore the United States had become a
combatant. Mr.. Schwab, he said. was
known around the world as a great
executive. England sought his serv-
ices and in the construction of sub
marines he did the impossible.
Mr.. Kingsley continued:
Then Germany's chief spy in the
United States, in those DAYS called an
ambassador, tried to block him
Realizing that what he was doing and
what he was likely to do would mean a
great deal in the war with Germany
the Germans sought to buy him off.
They offered him for himself 500, 900,
600 if he would break off the contracts
with Lord Kitchener. England heard
OF this at once and came back with an
offer of $150,000000. Mr.. Schwab lust
laughed and said that Germany and
England together hadn't enough money
to make him break faith with Kitch-
ener
Turned to U. S. War Work
"Then we went into the war, and Mr..
Schwab was called on to give his serv-
ices to the United States. He mar
shalled all his forces and put them at
the command Of this government"
Mr.. Kingsley then presented Mr..
Schwab with a bronze tablet, upon
which was inscribed:
THE Chamber of Commerce Of the
State of New York to Charles M.
Schwab in appreciation of his services
to the Republic, 1917-1918, during the
World War. Presented at special
meeting i'm the Great Hall of the
Chamber, April %, 1921"
Mr.. Schwab said that while he great
ly appreciated the tribute paid to him,
the praise really belonged to- the men
who worked with him and Under him.

No Eleventl1-Hour Proposal
From Berlin Can Stop

Disarmament Real Issue

Special Gable to The Tribune

PARIS, April 28.-Prmier BRAND
said tonight that under no circur-
stances whatever could Germany now
escape the heavy hand of the Allies.
/ Frantic eleventh hour efforts to escape
are expected to be made by the Berlin
government, but these will avail moth
ing. Late tonight come reports that
IN order to prevent the application of
new penalties Germany will make a
new offer, even better than the one
transmitted to Washington, and that
she may offer TO pay over to the Allies
1,OO0,O00,000 marks in gold or, at least,
all she has in the Reichsbank. But
even these will not save her now.
The French Premier made clear in an
interview that on the grounds of Ger
many's failure to disarm alone France
would proceed with the military opera
tions she had planned. Discussing the
crisis M. BRAND said:
There is one point in connection
with the present situation which is
essential to France and which, doubt
less for TINS reason, Germany is in
clined to forget There is the question
OF reparations and everything con-
nected Herewith, but there is also the
question of Frances security.
Disarmament Only Security
"France has common frontier with
Germany. Leaving aside all annexa-
tlons, France accepted generous
frontier line. This boundary is fragile
and 1T leaves France and Germany
alone together. There is only one
method under these circumstances that
can make France feel secure. That is.
that Germany manifest her good faith
regarding the disarmament provisions
OF the Treaty of Versailles and show
her clear intention to live up to those
terms.
What has she done? She has tried
again and again to escape from her
obligations and has shown no desire to
90 what she should. This is a matter
OF extreme Importance to France and
would alone justify the measures that
VIC are going to take"
Not only does BRAND saw that on
the question of disarmament alone
ne will invade the Ruhr Valley, but
ne also suggests that the fxity of the
present generous tracing of the from
tier is conditional upon German good
faith in fulfilling the disarmament
terms. The Premier continued:
Germany is a debtor in default and
all the riches of Germany are mort
gagged as security for her debts"
Industrial Issue at Stake
The Premier intimated that the
Allies felt themselves justified in help
Ing themselves to anything they can
find in the Ruhr to apply on the pay
ment of the debt. He took up the
question of gaining controlling in
terest for the Allies in the industries
OF Westphalia and pointed out the
danger of leaving these in German
hands. He pointed out that because of
their special position they would be

House Passes
Navy Bill for
800 Millions
Votes, PIP to Is, After Re-
jecting Numerous Amend
ments Directing Call for
World Disarmament Pact
Mondell Blocks Riders
Says Present Status Of For
eign Relationships Does
Not Warrant Initiative
From The Tribune's Woshinoton Bureo,

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 28.-Persistent
attempts were made in the House to-
day, before passage of the naval appro-
priations bill, which carries total of
S396,000,000, to have included in the
measure provisions laying the ground
work for an international discussion of
naval disarmament. AL were either
resisted on points of order or voted
down, and the bill was passed by 4
vote of 212 to Is.
The refusal of the House to initiate
steps looking to disarmament confer
ence was the direct result Of a state
ment by House Leader Mondell, who
said he expects that such action will
be taken before the close of the pres
ent session. The condition and situa-
ton of foreign relationships did not
yet warrant the move, he declared.
Mr.. Mondells statement was in
answer to an amendment offered by
representative Tom Connally, Demo-
crat, of Texas, who sought to provide
that no part of the appropriation of
S90,000,000 for ship construction
should be expended until after the
President has called an international
conference.
ut is entirely lifting and proper that
suggestions for negotiations on the
subject of the reduction of ornaments" )"
said Representative Mondell, SHOULD
originate with the United States. Man
lfestly, however, no action should be
taken along these lines until we shall
have arrived at condition and situa-
ton in our foreign relationships in
which our motives and purposes may
not be misunderstood or misconstrued.
Objects to Instructing Harding
GAS to the particular amendment be-
fore US, it should, of course, be voted
down. 1t is in no wise and in no sense
a disarmament resolution, nor would it
be helpful or useful in bringing about
q reduction of armaments. While no
doubt we'll intended by those offering
it, it's effect would be wholly mis-
chevous and if it were to become law
it would undoubtedly retard rather
than aid in the accomplishment of the
reduction in military and naval ex-
penditures which we all seek"
Representative Connally contended
that "a great many people are in doubt
about the program President Harding
intends to pursue in this regard" and
the House should "pave the way" His
amendment was lost on a viva voce
vote.
Another amendment, with virtually
the same object, was offered by Repre-
sentative R. Walton Moore, Democrat,
of Virginia 1t was disposed of on a
point of order.
Representative Hamilton Fish jr.,
Republican, of New York, offered an
other amendment, which would have
authorized the President to suspend
or curtail the appropriations at his dis
