FAMINE RELIEF

Offer of Assistance
BOLSHEVIKI PUZZLED

RIGA, Letvia, Aug. II. - (By the
Associated Press.) - With Herbert
Hoover's telegram, which reiterates
the uncompromising attitude of the
American Relief Administration con-
corning the feeding of the famine dis
tricts in Russia, at hand, Walter L.
Brown, director of the American Re-
lief Administration, today arranged
for another conference on the subject
with Maxim Litvinoff, representative
of the Russian relief committee.
The conference took place tonight
and Brown and Litvinoff reached an
agreement on all subjects except the
contention of the Bolsheviki for the
right to limit the number of relief
workers and to expel any individual
among them. The relief administra-
tion firmly opposed this and Litvinoff
has submitted a modified proposal
which Brown probably will send TO
Hoover
Litvinoff conceded the right of the
Americans to select any area in Rus
sia for their work that they desired,
with the understanding, however, that
1t would be where food was needed.
Brown, by way of explanation, said
the relief administration always per-
mitted government representation on
local committees, which seemed to
clear Litvinoff's misapprehension n
this respect. The Bolsheviki will be
represented on these committees but
the relief administration will maintain
control of them.
Prior to the discussion, Brown was
in receipt of lengthy telegram from
Hoover amplifying the grounds on
which the American Relief Admins
tration would stand firm, these en-
bracing complete control and discre-
tion regarding the number and char
acter of the personnel of the Amerf-
can contingent which enter Russia.
1t was said in Soviet sources today
that Litvinoff felt himself in an i'm
mensely strengthened position by the
offer of the International Red Cross
to aid in famine work under Bolshe-
Wiki government control. Litvinoff to-
day made a number of inquiries in
an endeavor to learn just what ready
money the international organization
has at Hand in comparison with tho
known ability of the Americans to
handle the situation

Pershing and Weeks Declare
Reorganization Will be
Beneficial to u. S.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IT. - Re-or
ganiZation OF the army general staff
to conform with that set up at Amer
lean expeditionary headquarters in
France will give the United States
the best staff the army ever had"
in the opinion of Secretary Weeks
and General Pershing. The great adj
vantage of the new system they both
pointed out today when orders effect
ing the reorganization were issued,
would be the facility with which it
could be merged into a war machine
without the necessity for changes
either in the war department or in
the field.
Another order issued by the secre-
tary today designated Major General
James G. Harbord, executive assistant
to General Pershing, to be deputy
chief of staff.

sured, however. by presentation for
further consideration of measure
which would instruct the American
delegates to insist that the conference
sit with open doors. Senator Lodge
did not express his views in regard
to publicity, but he did assert that in
the negotiations over disarmament il.
self. he would hold to the principle
that the only solution was a general
disarmament He declared no one
would work more earnestly for disar-
mament to insure success. there must
be general reductions" all along the
line
While the senate debate was in
progress, President Harding listened
to the plea of group of women poiit-
lcal leaders that he appoint a woman
on the American delegation to the
conference, and tod them he was con
fident a way would be found to utilize
woman's influence and intuitions to
aid in the success of the negotiations.
The presidents words were various
ly interpreted by members of the
group but it was said he refrained
from a specific statement whether a
woman would sit in the conference.
Those who took the petition to the
White House were acting for the Ma
tional League of Women Voters,
whose president, Mrs. Maud Wood
Park, headed the group and presented
a resolution on the subject adopted at
a recent convention of the league. Be-
fore their interview with Harding,
the women distributed a series of
statements assailing Representative
Alice Robertson of Oklahoma, for her
declaration that it would be difficult
to find woman qualified to act as a
delegate. In all the statements, it was
asserted that Miss Robertson could in
no sense be regarded as competent
spokesman of American womanhood.

17.-(By the Associated Press)- Co,
! operation in the interest of their
common motherland'' was pledged in
an agreement signed here today by
representative German industrial and
political leaders and labor represen.
tatives from all Polish parties in ST.

The agreement was reached at the
end of secret conference lasting II
honrs: stsH
Belief is expressed that the confer.
ence may result in joint appeal by
Germans and Poles to the league of
nations for a prompt settlement of
the Silesian question. 1t is also stat
ed that If such request il made. the
petitioners probably will ask for an
undivided Silesia, all for Poland or all
for Germany.
Both the inter-alligd commission in
Silesia and the Berlin government are
said to have known that today's con.
ference was contemplated. but no at.
tempt was made at interference. I'm
mediately after the meeting, Johon-
mes Lukachek, one OF the most power
ful German leaders in Silesia, went to
Crpeln, where he reported to General
Henniker, the British commander, at
a specially arranged meeting.
During the conference between the
Germans and Poles, a discussion was
held which aimed at reconciliation
which would protect either side
against loss of their interests if Sile-
5ia should be awarded undivided to
Germany or to Poland.
Four signers of the agreement -
Herren Ulitzka, Sozponok Okonski
and Franz-are members of the Ger

sui
At the conclusion of the conference
one of the delegates, Herr Lukaschek
said:
THE conferees were always agreed
as to the principle of avoiding any
more attempts to overthrow the gov
eminent by force. but they differed
as to methods of which their aims
were to be attained 1t was the hard-
est days work OF my life, but be-
lieve it was justified by the order
now issued as far as internal affairs

AID Of SCIENCE
IS INVOKED IN
PROBE Of DEATH
Hightower's Blood Pressure
and Heart Are Tested as
He is Questioned

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IL The
verdict of the coroner's jury, which
today investigated the death of Rev.
Patrick Heslin, Colma priest, made
no mention OF William A Hightower,
held on charge OF murder.
The verdict read:
I'VE find that Father Patrick Hes
lin came to his death either by blows
on the head, which fractured his skull
or by two gunshot wounds, either of
which was sufficient to cause death. -
There were only two witnesses at
the inquest-Dr. John r. Clark, autop-
sy surgeon, and Constable S. A. Lam
DIM of Colma, who was a member of
the party led by Hightower to the
priests grave on Salada Beach. 20
miles south of San Francisco.
Duncan Matheson, San Francisco
captain of detectives. said today the
police had dismissed the idea that
Dolly Mason, who Hightower said
furnished the clue to the location of
the priests grave, is a living person
ality. They now advance the theory
that Dolly Mason was the creation of
HightOwer's mind and was given
many of the attributes of Doris Shir-
ley, his former companion.
Doris Shirley has told all she knows
of Hightowers activities, MatheSon
said. and no longer is under detention
The police investigators sought aid
from the realms of science today
when Hightower was subjected to
cross-eXamination, while very delicate
instruments recorded his heart action
and respiration under the reactions
caused by leading questions.
When asked point blank if he muir
dered Rev. Heslin, Hightower's blood
pressure went up 32 millimeters at
one jump. according TO August Voll
mer, chief, and DR.. J. A. Larsen, med
ical adviser of the Berkeley police de-
partment.
Although he continued to assert his
innocence of the staying of Father
Patrick Heslin in a statement tonight
to District Attorney Swart at Red
wood City, William A. Hightower
said he had given up hope.
I'm through. I'm done. I've been
unlucky all my life and my judgment
has been worse than my luck. | sup
pose you will hang me-" Hightower
said, Swart announced. Late today,
Hightower said to James Coleman, his
jailer.
Il do not want to give up that dear
est of all gs-freedom-but
know it is all over for me. They have
me bound by a chain of circumstan-
tial evidence so strong that will
never be able to break it,

He WILL SOLVE
MYSTERY SOON
Man Who Killed Kennedy to
be Arrested This Week,
Declares Attorney

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17.-The man
who killed ]. Bolton Kennedy near
here August will be in Jail within
five days, Ralph R. Obenchain told
newspaper reporters here late today.
AS attorney for his divorced wife,
Madalyne Obenchain, he announced
that he had obtained evidence tha1
not only would cause the arrest OF
the slayer of the broker, but effect
the release of Mrs. Obenchain and
Arthur c. Burch, held in Jail under in
dictment for the Staying of Kennedy.
He said:
THE investigation which we have
been conducting has produced evil
dence showing a new theory for the
killing of Mr.. Kennedy, and the indi-
vidual or individuals responsible for
the murder. or who are directly i'm
plicated in it, will be arrested. | be-
lieve that by Sunday, the entire situa-
t'Cn will be cleared up and the inno-
cence of the present suspects estab-
liehnd"
Obenchain's statement made late
in the day, came after he had lost his
first tilt with the prosecution over a
technical battle to- retain possession
of trunk consigned to Mrs. Oben-
chain from San Francisco. When it
arrived here last night, he announced
he would attempt to prevent seizure
of it, on the ground that it was his
trunk, temporarily being used by his
former wife, and that under the law it
could not be seized and the contents
held as evidence against the defend
ant without a search warrant being
employed, describing exactly what
contents of the trunk the officers
sought.
Deputy District Attorney Asa Keyes
secured the trunk on a subpoena and
the contents were gone over behind
closed doors. Whether these were of
pertinent value was not announced
but Obenchain announced that he
would fight the introduction of any of
the trunks contents as evidence on
the ground that it had been seized un-
lawfully.

AT the second session of the parlia-
ment, held today in the Mansion
House, de Valera again dealth with
the British offer and again he insist
ed that nothing less than independ
ence for Ireland was in the minds os
the Irish leaders. He stressed his
viewpoint that the status of a domin-
ion government had not been made to
ireland The statement that such n
government had been offered contain
ed two falsehoods There was no Ire
land mentioned in the terms. only two
broken pieces of Ireland dominions
had the right to secede, but the Irish
republic must stay within the empire,
whether it desired to do so or not. he
said.
During his address. de Valera held
out the olive branch to Ulster by de-
clarlng that by entering into negotia-

sy, northern Ireland need not give tip
its own point of view. He said he
would be willing to suggest that the
Irish people give up a good deal in
order that Ireland might be able to
view the future without anticipating
disturbing internal problems
De Valera declared again that the
claims of the minority in Ireland. as
represented by the Ulsterites. was
wrong, but added that he. for one.
would be ready to go a long way TO
give in to Ulster IF we could get
them to come with us and consider
the interests of their own country and
not be allying themselves with for
eigners."
Everywhere these words of de Va
lera were received as an indication
that events were transpiring behind
the scenes having for their purpose
the bringing OF Sir James Craig. the
Ulster premier, into touch with the
Sim Fein leaders in the hope of evOlv
ing some means of surmOunting the
present impasse.
