LIFT TAX BURDEN
Family Men to Get $4,000 Ex-
emptiOn-Maybe.
House Committee Considers
$500 for Dependents Also.

Washington. Aug. IAN increase
in the income tax exemption from ST.
600 to $4,000 for the heads of families
was considered today by the house
ways and means committee.
This additional relief from tax bur-
dens was urged by Representatives
Bacharach. New Jersey, and Green,
Iowa, in addition to the increase from
5000 to $500 exemption for each min or
child and dependent. The latter has
been approved by the committee.
It was urged that the increased ex-
emptionS were necessary to meet in
creased living costs \of the ordinary
family and could be made without
forcing a certain treasury deficit. They
would meet the Democratic opposition
to the tax revision which is claiming
that most of the tax reductions made
have been for the benefit of the rich.
This advocated change in the in
come law and a readjustment of in
come surtaxes made necessary by re-
duction of the surtax maximum to 80
per cent, previously decided, formed
the major part of uncompleted work
on the tax revision bill facing the COM
mittee today. Before night it is ex-
pected that these rates will be ad-
Justed, final decision taken on all pre-
vious action and the bill turned over

THREW MURDER GUN IN SEA?

Los Angeles, Aug. 12.-Search for
the stock of a double barreled r.
gauge shotgun, believed to be part of
the much-sought weapon with which
]. Bolton Kennedy, wealthy young Los
Angeles broker, was slain a week ago,
was occupying the attention today OF
all officers working on the mysterious
murder case.
With the indictment on first degree
murder charges of Arthur c. Burch
and Mrs. Madalynee Obenchain, prin-
cipals in the sensational case, tnvesti-
gators were endeaVoring to forge to-
gether the links in the chain of evil
dence. The missing gun stock is
regarded as ali important link in the
chain. Mrs. Obenchain and Burch
were named in the indictments re-
turned during the night after grand
jury investigation that began early
yesterday.
Found Near Old Pier.
The butt of the shotgun. which Of
ficials say they believe is the weapon
that sent its charge of death-laden
buckshot into the brain Of young Ken
needy a week ago today, was found
floating in the surf at Santa Monica
last Saturday, about sixteen hours
after the murder had been commit
ted. The butt was taken from the
water by William Wyde, a contractor.
In a sworn statement MADE publ1c TO-
day, Wylie asserted that the butt was
shiny and only slightly rusted when
he retrieved it from the ocean.
Wylie was camping at Monica when
he found the gun and he attached no
significance to his find until he
learned that a corps of divers were
searching for the murder gun in the
ocean near an abandoned pier. He
then turned over his important find
He said the spot where he picked up
the gun butt was only a few yards
from the old pier.
Officers have been searching for
the gun with which Kennedy was
killed ever since Burch was taken
from an eastbound train at Las Vegas,
New. and the alleged murder car To-
Gated. They announced today they
believed they would be able to tden-

tifv this gun butt as that of the
weapon with which Kennedy was
killed.
The mileage registered on the mo-
tor car rented by Burch the night OF
the murder, led deputy sheriffs TO
take up the search for the murder
gun at the beach. The car had been
driven forty-four miles. Investigation
showed the distance from Los Angeles
TO the Santa Monica pier and return
to Los Angeles by the shortest route
is exactly forty-four miles. Officers
also learned that Burch had rented
the car the night before and had driven
forty-fiye miles which led them to
believe that the car may have been
driven over the same route the night
before.
Another angle of the case that came
to light today was testimony said to
have been given to the grand jury
Yesterday that Burch had a thorn in
his knee when taken from the train
at Las Vegas. The thorn was removed.
it was said, by DR.. J. j. Finley VINO
was a witness before the grand jury.
Malcolmn Claren, Investigator for
the district attorneys office, intro
duced branches of shrubbery picked
mn at the scene of the murder that
bore thorns similar to the one ex-
tracted from Burch's knee.
Another bit OF important testiiiioHy
given the grand jury was that OF a
iail surgeon who is said to have stared
that Burch's shoulder showed sllaht
discoloration such as might have been
produced by the kick" of shotgun.
Telegram Indicted Woman.
IT was on these points of testimony,
it is believed, that Burch was indicted
Mrs. Obenchain was indicted because
of a telegram she is said to have sent
10 Burch two weeks before Kennedy
was slai.l. This telegram, the state
contends. reads:
''Things look bad here. Please
come at once. Madalynne."
. Mrs. Obenchain denied sending this
telegram and held that she asked
Burch to come here because she be-
lieved he needed a rest and
change"
Aitho both Burch and Mrs. Oben-
chain were taken before the grand
Jury, each refused to testify, The two
defendants, while showing signs or
worry, maintained a stoical air of ap-
parent indifference and optimism over
their plight today:
Burch, when asked if he had heard
that he had been indicted, flicked the
ashes from his cigaret and remarked:
''Well, isn't that Interestingly"
Burch and Mrs. Obenchain were or
dered held without bail and Judge
Sidney N. Reeves set Monday as the
day for their arrangement

BACK TO LEAGUE
Upper SiIesian Problem Now in
Complete Deadlock.
Lloyd George and BRAND Agree
Upon Disagreement.

Paris, Aug. 12.-Premier Lloyd
George of England and Premier Bri-
and of France today agreed to refer
the Upper Si1esia question to the next
meeting of the League of Nations.
This decision was reached as a re-
suit of the deadlock that developed
yesterday over the partitionNof Upper
Silesia. 1t was reported in French
circles that Premier BRAND was will
by Count Sforza of Italy, but subse-
quently it was decided that a more
satisfactory settlement would be to
allow the League of Nations to handle
the issue.
Considers Routine Affair.
The proposal to refer Upper Silesia
to the League of Nations originated
with Premier Lloyd George. The su-
preme council met at noon and ap-
proved the suggestion. Premier Lloyd
George departed for London early in
the afternoon. He was smiling and
cheerful and said that the discussions
had had the happiest outcome
The council continued in session this
afternoon without Premier Lloyd
George and discussed the German war
trials at Leipzig and other matters.
The Sforza plan divided Upper
Silesia on the basis that Germany
would get most of the industrial and
mining district.
There was a council of ministers
this morning under the Craftsmanship
of President Mill&rand to consider the
Upper Silesian question. Louis Ba-
thou, former premier, was recalled to
Paris to consult with the cabinet. The
next meeting of the League of Nations
will be held in September.
Puts o. S. Out of 1t.
Before deciding to refer the Upper
Silesian matter to the League of Ma
lions, Premier Lloyd George consult
ed the italian and japanese delegates
and received their approval. The con-
ference between the British and
French premiers did not take place
until after the ministerial council.
Ambassador Harvey told the council
this morning that the United States
government had thought from the be-
ginning that the Upper Silesian ques-
ton was purely a European one, and
as 1t now was to be referred to the
League of Nations on which the United
States was not represented, he thought
he would be interpreting the wishes of
his government by not participating
in the decision to refer the question
to the league

TO START RELIEF
Americans to Direct Work of
Feeding Starving Russ.
Actual Distribution of Food
Commences Next Week.

Riga, Aug. 12.-Actual relief work
in Russia, under the direction of
Americans will be under way early
next week, according to all indications
here. today.
The negotiations of Walter L.
Brown, head of the American relief
organization in Europe, and Boris
Litvinoff, envoy of the soviet govern
ment are proceeding favorably and
probably will be concluded Saturday
or Sunday. This would enable the re-
lief campaign to open next week as 1t
is expected that the remaining Ameri-
can citizens will be out of. Russia in
the meantime.
Hoover As Honorary Chief.
1t is predicted that the >internatioal
Red Cross at Geneva will name Secre-
tary Hoover honorary director of the
consolidated relief movements, that is
the relief work of the various coun-
tries and humanitarians.
Doctor Nazer, who is now in Riga
and who has won the confidence of
all stricken nationalities by his relief
crusades of the past two years, prob
ably will become the active chief of
the movement in Europe.
Fears Political Maneuvers,
The chief fear of NJ. LitvInoff was
that the countries giving relief to Rus
STA might attempt to make political
capital out of the work.
Some of the NATIONS that have vol
unteered aid are hostile to the soviet.
and the Moscow government feared
that they would attempt to take ad-
vantage of the present opportunity to
work for the overthrow of the Lenine-
Trotzky administration
Litvinoff voiced this fear to Director
Brown, and it is understood that Mr..
Brown gave assurances that the
United States had no Interior motive
in Russia.
