MISS. ROBERTSON
CASTS HER VOTE
FOR FREE HIDES
Does So Because She
Loves the Farmers
Children More Than the
Packers, Tells House.

Washington, July 15.-An In
crease in the rates on almonds over
the duty carried in the Fordney
tariff bill has been sought by men,
bers of the California delegation in
congress, it was learned today. The
rate in the present bill Is four cents
a pound on unshelled and eight
cents a pound on shelled almonds,
but, according to a statement of
the Californians to the sub-com-
mittee OF the ways and means com
mittee, the rate should be raised
substantially if the growers are 20
enjoy a profit.
The subcommittee however, has
made no recommendation to the
full committee on the subject,
A parliamentary snarl developed
when Representative Garrett, of
Tennessee, acting democratic lead
er, made a point of order that the
hide amendment had been improp-
erly dragged to the front. 1t was
overruled and the house proceeded
under the five-minute rule.
Representative Hawley, Of Ore
gon, republican member of the
ways and means committee, OPP
posed the hides duty, saying 1t
would mean 40 cents increase in
the cost of every pair of shoes.
Farmers would get about $34,O00,-
900 increase in value of their hides
under it, he said, and pay $3S,O0O,-
900 more for the shoes and leather
goods they buy.
Representative Mondell, Wyom-
ing, republican leader, said il M-.
Hawleys argument was correct 1t
would be difficult to favor pro-
tective policy.
But here we have duty" said
Mr.. Mondell, (which can be de-
Tended rather as a protective meas
ure or as a tariff provision for
revenue" There was round OF
applause when Representative Rob
ertson. republican, Oklahoma, the
only woman in the house, an
nounced that she would vote for
free hides because she loved the
farmers children better than she
loved the packers"

CATHOLIC FAITH
REEMbRACED BY

Francisco Villa Has Ancient

RedediCated.

Ell Paso, Tex, July 15.-Fran-
cisco villa, former bandit chieftain
and revolutionary leader, now a
peaceful farmer at Canutillo, Du-
range, has re-embraced the Catho-
lie faith. A priest recently re-
turned from Durango, says the
ancient chapel at Canutillo, built
by the Spanish missionaries more
than 200 years ago, and lately used
as a granary, has been rebuilt un-
der Villas direction and rededi-
Gated. There Villa may be seen
every Sunday kneeling in prayer,
the priest says, having returned to
the faith he learned as child and
forget as man.
In the days Of his power villa
generally was regarded as an in
fidel and appeared to take delight
in prosecuting priests and ministers
of religion. Since his conversion he
has been generous to the church
and recently gave $4,000 to repair
chapel at Torreon, wrecked in
one of his raids on that city.

Especial Correspondence to The Jounal')
Las Vegas, N. M, July 10
There will be at least two, and pos-
sibly three, candidates for appoints
ment to succeed Secundino Romero,
recently appointed United States
marshal, as sheriff of San Miguel
county. Foremost among these Is
Roman Gallegos, of San Jose. Mr..
Gallegos is a former sheriff of this
county, and more recently a ltate
senator. He was strong sup
porter of Larrazolo, and, shortly
after the nomination of Mechem,
joined in the formation Of an inde~
PENDENT republican party in San
Miguel county. Later he returned
to the regular republican fold, and
it was predicted at the time that
Mr.. Gallegos might succeed Mr..
Romero in the event the latter be-
came United States marshal.
Another man who will likely
want to be sheriff is Lorenzo Del
gado, former probate clerk, formeE
county clerk, former sheriff and
former captain Of the mounted po"
lice. It is rumored also that Cleo
fes Romero, brother Of Secundino
Romero, and former sheriff, VIII

FREIGHT RATES
Do NOT MENACE

EXPERT CLAIMS
Shippers Contention That
the Business Is Being
Destroyed Is Disputed
BY Carriers Agent
COMMERCE COMMISSION
HEARS ORAL ARGUMENT
Reductions Asked by the
Growers Amount to $34,-
100000 a Year, Bur-
CESS Says in Statement,
Try Tho Assoclnted Press.l

washington, July 15.-Present
freight rates have no relation to
the condition of the livestock in
dustry in the west, Kenneth f.
Burgess, representing the railroads,
declared today before the Inter-
state Commerce commission, in an
oral argument on the shippers plea
for relief in which state utilities
commissions have intervened.
Previous representatives of the
livestock interests had declared
that the rates were destroying the
west and would result in the rail-
roads being among the worst sur
ferers in the end. 1.-THE railroads
should not be allowed to sacrifice
the future of the west on the altar
of present revenues" S. H. Cowan
of the American Livestock COM
mission said"
Cut Asked by Shippers.
Rate reductions asked by the
shippers amount to $34,0OO,Q0O
year, which would be but 1.2 per
cent of the total value at the mar
ket of the livestock shipped on
western roads, Mr.. Burgess de-
clared. While the value of live
stock on the farm in 1920, he ad-
ded. had suffered a deflation OF
1914, 100000, the freight rate in
crease in that year on the western
roads was only $7,4SS,00O.
Discussing yesterdays report OF
Examiner Disque, which held that
the rates on livestock were low
from a transportation standpoint,
but because Of conditions prevail
ing in the industry they are high
from an. economic standpoint, Mr..
Burgess said:
"The economic standpoint rep
resents a new test of reasonable
ness, unknown to the law, without
giving any measure to tell what
would be reasonable, and IL you
find that these rates are reason
able, from transportation stand-
point, 1 challenge your jurisdiction
to reduce them"
Can't Shift Burden.
Under the law, he said, the rates
on one class of traffic could not
| be decreased so as to throw a bur-
den on other classes of traffic.
During the argument, Chairman
| Clark asked If there was anything
in the record of the case to show
that the benefits of a reduction OF
rates would go to the producer
Clifford Thorne, representing the
American Farm Bureau federation
said 1t was possible the retailers
might endeavor to seize all the
benefits, but added that there was
precedent to show that reductions
in freight rates have been of direct
benefit to the producer.

sioner of the Southwestern Inter-
state Coal Operators association.

terdays wage conference, denied
that the operators plan to increase

reduction.

He asserted that the operators
had granted three or four wage in
creases during the war period,
when prices of commodities were
increased and that it seemed only
fair that miners should accept a
reduction now, when prices gen.
erally are on the decline.
"We do not get $40 to SIS a
ton for coal for which the miners
are paid $1.25. The industrial
court recently found that we are
getting $5.25 a ton for such coal, F"

HIDES ARE REMOVED
FROM THE FREE LIST

Washington, July 15.-Hides-
raw, green and pickled-are
thrown off the Fordpey tariff free
list by the house, which voted, 1852
to 81, to impose an advalorem
duty of Is per cent, to be followed
by another amendment taxing all
leather products, including shoes.
Eight republican members of the
ways and means committee, which
framed the bill, voted for free
hides and Representative Gardner
of Texas, ranking democratic COM
mitteeman in charge of the general
fight against the bill, voted for the
tax.
There were many breaks from
straight party lines on the first
contested section of the measure,
but finding themselves with, votes
to spare, republican leaders forced
an early adjournment over the
democratic demand that the bill be
read for amendment.
Representative Hawley of Wash
ington, republican member of the
committee, in pleading against the
duty. declared the farmers by a
tariff would get less than they were
now paid and that sS1,O00,O00
would be added annually to the

kABER HEARING
ENDS; CASE IN
HANDS OF JURY
Verdict Not Reached Last
Night; Deliberations viii
be Resumed at 8 O'Clock
This Morning.
tBy The Associated Press J

Cleveland, July 1.-THE jury in
the case Of Eva Catherine Kaber,
charged with the murder of her
husband, Daniel f. Kaber, had not
reached a verdict at 10 o'clock to-
night and was taken to a hotel for
the night. 1t will resume delib-
erations again at o'clock tomor-
row morning. ..
Mrs. Kaber's trial, which has
been in progress since June 2S,
ended this evening.
Mrs. Kaber, who had sat appar-
emily oblivious to the arguments
of counsel in which the state
asked that she pay the extreme
penalty, tainted just as Judge
Maurice Bernon told the jury the
case was in their hands. She was
carried from the court room in her
chair.
Six Forms of Verdicts.
Six forms of verdicts were CIV
en- the jury, any one of which they
may return as their decision in the
case. They are:
Guilty of murder in the first
degree, which carries with death
in the electric chair; first degree
murder with recommendation for
mercy, carrying with 1t life I'M
prisonment without hope or par
don; second degree murder, carry
ing life Imprisonment, subject 10
pardon by the governor; man.
slaughter, carrying a penalty OF
Imprisonment from one to twenty
years; not guilty, giving her abso-
lutte freedom; not guilty on the
ground of insanity, thus freeing
her on the murder charge, but
subiecting her to confinement in
an insane asylum.
Insanity the Sole Defense.
In his charge to the jury, Judge
Bernon said there should be no
conviction If Mrs. Kaber was found
to be mentally irresponsible at the
time of the murder. The burden OF
proof that she was insane, howev-
er, he declared, was upon the de-
Tense. Insanity was the sole de-
fense, no testimony being offered
to refute the states charge that
Mrs. Kaber had planned the mur-
der of her husband.
Demands Death Penalty.
County Prosecutor Edward c.
Stanton opened the states argu-
ment soon after the noon recess.
During the half hour he argued,
Mr.. Stanton declared "the extreme
penalty-death in the electric chair
lis the justice that is due Eva
Catherine Kaber as payment for
what she did to her husband, Dan
Kaber."
This was not a hateful, resent
full murder by the two assassins.
tt ey were to be paid with silver
for every drop of Dan Kaber's
blood" Mr.. Stanton said.
"What was her daughter. Marian,
playing on the plano as Mrs. Kaber
led the assassins through the house
to show them where they would
find her husband to kill him while
he slept?
was she playing Nearer My
God to Thee for Dan Kaber whose
soul was to go to its Master in less
than twenty-four hours?'
Defense Pleads for Mercy.
Following Mr.. Stanton, defense
counsel opened with plea for
mercy for the accused woman. A.
tcrney Francis w. Poulson also ex-
planned why the defense had not
placed Mrs. Kaber on the witness
stand, saying that to have done so
