 'The power placed in the hands of the supervising agency is very great and could be used to cause much an- noyance and unnecessary expense to those, who come under the law" he said, adding that there would be mo arbitrary or offensive exercise of power" by him as the governments supervising officer.

DISARMAMENT
 MEET T0 OPEN
 ARM|ST|CE DAY
TRepubIican A. P. Leased WIreJ

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-Unani- nous agreement on Armistice day. Nov. Il, for the opening of the dis armament conference, was reached today in the informal negotiations among the powers that are to be rep resented. Japan. the last of the par ticipants to give her consent. in- formed the state department through the Amsrican embassy at Tokio that she would gladly accept" the Amer ican suggestion to begin the confer ence on the third anniversary of the cessation of the world war.
 Thus the assembling of the dele gates here on day definite becomes an assured fact, although the diplo- matic formalities require that there be now a formal exchange of invita- tions and acceptances. The invita- tions are expected to go forward from Washington without delay, and off, cials believe that prompt replies will hasten the negotiations into their second phase. a consideration of the list of subjects that are to be dis cussed around the council table.
 It is the expectation that the in vitations will be hrief in text, stating in the broadest terms the general purposes for which the United States has called the powers together. and it is not unlikely that there also may be suggestion that each nations delegation of principal representa- tives shall number only five or six persons.
 Who will be the five or six to rep resent the United States is still an undecided question. but President Harding and his advisers are giving serious consideration to a long list of eligibles. The president himself does not intend to sit as a member of the American delegation, although he probably will open the meeting with an address limiting broadly of the American policies that he hopes to see receive geenral acceptance. It is certain that at least one United the delegation and one of the places may go to woman. The general ex- pectation is that the head of the com mission will be Secretary Hughes
 Selection of a competent and well balanced group of representatives and arrangement of the conference program are the two subjects that during the next few weeks will oc- cupy the attention of officials here in charge of the conference prelimi- naries- It is realized that the pre- liminary negotiations over what sub jects are to be considered by the as- sembled powers will present situa- tion of great delicacy and the state departme is preparing to handle them with very careful deliberation.

CONFESSESK KILLING RIVAL IN DEFENSE
 IF MILITARY HONOR
rRepubIIcan A. P. Leased Wirel

MEXICO CITY, Aug. s.-General Jacinto Trevino calmly admits. ac cording to Excelsior this afternoon. that it was the defense of his mili tary honor which last night caused him to shoot and kill General Jose Alessio Robles.
 General Trevino, who is being held by the police after his voluntary sur render, declared, according to Ex- celsior, that General Robles. holding the rank of general of brigade. publicly criticised his superior
 General Trevino is general of a division. He. according to the news paper, charges that in addition Gen. eral Robles had asserted that he was a coward. having refused to fight q duel. Enmity between the two men was of long standing.
 At a banquet several months ago General Robles. in an address, as sailed General Trevino as a traitor to the ideals of Chaltepec." the Ex- celsior says A violent verbal clash followed in which General Robles challenged his adversary to duel which the latter declined to accept. Differences between them apparently were settled until General Robles was quoted by Fl Universal as doubling General Trevino's courage.
 Newspaper accounts of the tragedy agree that General Robles was driv- ing in an automobile when another machine containing General Treyino and four companions drove up. A fusi1ade of shots followed, killing General Robles. who was found with his hands on the steering wheel
 General Trevino then drove to his home, according to these accounts, arranged his personal affairs and de- hvered himself to the authorities.
 The incident has caused much ex- citement here and today the crowd of people was so dense around the jail in which the prisoner is held that cordon of troops has been sta toned there to preserve order.
 General Trevino has visited the United States on several occasions as a member of various Mexican com missions. During de la Huerta's ad- ministration he was secretary of commerce and industry.

LOS ANGELES. Cal, Aug. 9.-The details of the recent shooting of J. Belton Kennedy, young broker ,on the steps of his summer home in Beverly Glen, near here. were told to a coroner's jury here this afternoon.

 While the inquest was in progress and for more than four hours, Dis trict Attorney Thomas Lee Woolwine conferred personally and without witnesses with Mrs. Madelynne Oben- chain, the young divorced woman who was with Kennedy when he was shot and who has since been held as material witness When MT. Wool wine emerged from his conference and Mrs Obenchain was returned to jail the district attorney merely said that it was vital to the case that what was said be not discussed" and declined to go further. He added that he would present the case to the Los Angeles county grand jury Thursday,
 A third conference was held while the inquest and the conversation with Mrs. Obenchain were in progress. Arthur C. Burch. the young man of Evanston, H.. who was arrested at Las Vegas. New, last Saturday night and has since been held here booked for suspicion of nurder," was also taken from his cell at the county jail and talked at length with Deputy District Attorney Asa Reyes. The talk of Reyes and Burch was entirely separate from the conference of MT. Woolwine and Mrs. Obenchain.
 Before Mrs. Obenchain was taken to the district attorneys office today she had retained an attorney. Burch also has been visited by a local att torney who, it was said, had been retained by telegraph message from his parents at Evanston.

 Mrs. Obenchain talked freely to men and women today for the first time since the tragedy. She continued to decline, however, to say why she had summoned Burch here from Evanston. Both of them had previously stated that this was the case. Her statement dealt chiefly with her love for the dead man and with the conditions that had prevent ed thei marriage.

SAYS CLOSE TAb
 KEPT-ON BANKS SECURING LOANS
rRepubIlcan A. P. Leased wIre1

WASHINGTON. Aug. s.-New York banks which obtained great sums in federal reserve loans during the money stringency last fall were closely supervised, Governor Strong of the New York reserve bank testi- fled today before a congressional commission. He introduced the con fidential and almost daily reports at the time upon Bank No S." which he identified as an institution which kept $13.000,000 in reserve loans, and was engaged largely in speculative operations
 John Skelton Williams, former comptroller of the currency and chief of the reserve systems critics, when called before the commission recently referred to such a bank as having been unduly favored
 We ascertained the cause of credit demands because we wanted to know whether loans were justified" Cover was necessary to legitimate needs of the business of the country, we fur nished it. If the stock exchange loan accounts of banks appeared to be ris- ing we would warn bankers that re- serve money was not lent for that purpose. One of these institutions estimated for us that it might need as much as 0,000, 900 merely to han dle export shipments of cotton.
 Now the comptroller (Mr. Wil- liams) didn't know these things. It didn't concern him, and I, for one, never discussed it with him."
 Governor Strong said he ''hesitated to make the statement" that stock exchange loans would be restricted in the emergencies, because it isn't our function to control stock ex-' change movements, and market places where speculative risks are assumed have place in the great economic fabric of the country"
 He repeated denials that the re- serve interest rates forced breaks in commodity prices and said the re- serve system had fostered and in creased the sentiment that producers and business enterprises should be carried through the emergency He pointed to expansion of reserve loans which took place during the peVod, as proving that the New York bank far from restricting loans, extended credits to the point which has drawn criticism upon us."s
 Governor Strong asserted that the lending in 1920 of $240, 0,000.000 from the reserve system for agricultural credits indicated that, by the multi plication of bank credits probably g, 900, ,000, 900 in first hand loans to producers were extant at the period. He was excused until Thursday, the commission, which is specially charged with an inquiry into agri- cultural conditions, having summoned other witnesses for the intervening period.

 PRESCOTT. Ariz., Aug. sJohn G. Emery. acting national commander of the American Legion, was endorsed for election as national commander at the coming national convention of the legion in Kansas City by the state convention of the organization here today
 Adoption of the resolution endors- ing Mir Emery practically eliminates the several Arizona candidates from the race for national commander. ac- cording to delegates to the conven- ton.
 Another resolution adopted today condemned United States Senator Ralph Cameron of Arizona for his failure to keep an alleged pledge to support the adjusted compensation measure in congress.
 Twenty-Five resolutions were adopted by the convention but only two of them referred to the business affairs of the legion. These two ap- propriated $500 for the expenses of the state commander during the com ing year and the travelling expenses of delegates to the national conven- ton.
 Publicity given by some newspa- pers of the state to the military rec ords of persons accused or convicted of crime was deprecated and the state adjutant was instructed to request the editors to adopt policy of ''re- straint" in connection with such mat ters.
 Annual reports of several posts were read today. It was reported that the legion has gained members in many communities but in others the posts have been crippled by reason of the cessation of mining activities. In general. however, it was reported. the legion has held it's own and the re- ports predicted an increase in mem- bership during the remaining months of this year.

This proposed change was taken up with the corporation commission by General Manager c. M. Scott in a letter making application several days ago and then it was proposed to make the change effective on Aug. l. Already the service to Christmas had been reduced and complaint was made privately to the commission. It was shown, however, that the busi- ness of the company for the month of June had failed to meet the oper- ating expenses of the Phoenix Winkelman line by S30,0e0.
 A few days later a letter was re- ceived from the chamber of com
 rec of Florence saying that it had teen unofficially made known that such a change was contemplated and a protest was made against it. As to the claim of operation at loss a resolution of the chamber of com- merce set out that the company for some years had enjoyed a heavy and remunerative traffic that should en- able it to meet the lean period with out grumbling. It was also pointed out that Florence is the county seat of Pinal county. having an assessed the circumstances it was entitled to more consideration than the company proposed to give it.
 The Arizona Eastern carries the mail to points along it's line and Mir. Scott said that his company was then in negotiation with the postoffice de- partment for the handling of the mails by the proposed service. Inas- much as the order is to be made ef- fective today, that negotiation has evidently been concluded.
 The corporation commission, re- plying to the resolution of the Flor ence chamber of commerce. stated that the application of the company had been docketed for hearing.
