LETTERS INTRODUCED
IN FIRST ObENCHA|N
TRIAL ARE. MISSING

LOS ANGELES, June ia num-
ber of letters and kilograms, intro
duced in evidence in previous trials of
Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain and Ar
thur G. Burch for the murder of j.
Bolton Kennedy, are missing it de-
Veloped today in Mrs. Obenchain's s
second trial. The clerk of the court,
where the other trials were held, tes-
titled that a portion of the documents
could not be found.t
The prosecution announced that
transcripts containing the missing
evidence, as offered at the other
trials, would be offered.
A heated tilt between a defense
attorney and the father of the slain
man, and the disappearance OF docu-
mentary evidence, were features to-
day of the trial. J. d. Kennedy. the
father, on the witness stand, char
acterized as "a deliberate falsehood'
question in which he had been
asked whether his wife had under
gone treatment 'to make her look
ghastly when she testified in prev
ious trials Of the case
Mr. Kennedy was called to the
stand to identify his sons hand
writing in letters and tefegrams the
prosecution had offered for identifi-
cation. On cross examination Jud
E. Rush, chief attorney for Mrs.
Obenchain, asked him if it were true
he had been particularly active in
endeavoring to secure a conviction of
Mrs. Obenchain. Mr. Kennedy re-
piled he had been very active in try
ing to secure the conviction of his
sons slayerS.
The attorney then asked If he had
gone to a costumer to secure a
mourning dress for his wife. The
witness responded he went TO secure
a veil for Mrs. Kennedy.
Did you not go to the costumer
to have Mrs. Kennedy's face marked
with lines and treated to make her
look ghastly when she went on the
stand?" the attorney continued.
THAT is a deliberate falsehood.
Nothing of the kind was done,
shouted Kennedy. The point was not
pressed further.
Mrs. Kennedy was a witness in the
first trial of Mrs. Obenchain and the
two trials of Arthur G. Burch, CO.
defendant in the case, all of which
resulted in disagreements.
The prosecution introduced testi-
mony that kilograms and other docu-
mentary evidence had disappeared
since the last trial and offered
| transcripts as secondary evidence
No objection was interposed by the
| defense to this course.

CONF FESSES PART IN
HALIFAX EXPLOSION
AND THEN ENDS LIFE {

SEATTLE. Wash. June 13-Canad-
ian and United States authorities are
investigating. it became known to-
Gay, the alleged confession of William
Johnson, alias n. Primatchenk, that
he caused the explosion of three Brit
ish ammunition ships in the harbor
of Halifax, n. S. in 1917. resulting in
many deaths and great destruction in
the city.
Johnson committed suicide in a
lonely spot on Baon Creek. in Skagit
county. Washington. last month. The
supposed confession, federal agents
ere said today, was made to J. r.
Cor. a mine watchman, a few weeks
before Johnson killed himself. Cox
Immediately notified American and
Canadian authorities who have since
been conducting a careful investi-
cation.
1t has been established that john
sen. graduate of an European Uni
versity and an expert chemist was in
Halifax at the time of the explosion.
according to officers. A quantity of
alleged radical literature was found
in his effects after his death.
Cox told federal agents that john
son had refused to give him any de.
tails of the explosion. but had yolun-
teered that he had slain the captain
of q British vessel while returning
from Australia to Canada. Officers
believe that Johnson became fearful
that he would be exposed after the
reference to the explosion and took
his own life rather than face cap

LAUNCH ATTACK ON
HERESY TEACHINGS
At BIG SEMINARY

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 13--At-
tacks on the alleged. teaching of
heresy by Henry Clay Vedder of the
Crozier Theological Seminary, Phila-
delphia, were made at the meeting of
the Fundamentalist group of the
Northern Baptist church today by DIR.
Frank Goodchild, of Brooklyn. N. Y.
AN immunity bath from sin.' a
sentence which DR. Vedder is charged
with having often spoken and written,
was the basis of the attack by DR..
Goodchild.
Bringing of the charge of teaching
heresy at the seminary before the
convention tomorrow, it was said at
the meeting, would be attempted.
William Jennings Bryan. former
secretary of state and an elder in the
Presbyterian church, addressed the
convention tonight on "Tinkerine
With the handspring"
More than e-half of the prom
inent scientists of the United States
teaching biology, geology and history,
have discarded belief in a personal
God and personal Immortality. This
is what the doctrine of evolution is
doing for our child. en- Mr.. Bryan
said.
'.Darwinism leads to a denial OF
God. The law or principle so care
fully worked out by Darwin. is being
given less and less weight with scien-
lists. The followers of Darwin are
trying to retain evolution while re-
jecting arguments that led Darwin
to accept it as an explanation of the
varied life on the planet. Some evo-
lutionists reject Darwin's line OF
descendants and believe that man. in
stead of coming from an ape
branched off from a common ancestor
farther back, but cousin ape is as
objectionable as Grandpa ape.

Massachusetts, Holds
Congressional Saddle
Declares Rep. Garner

WASHINGTON, June 13-Massa-
ehusetts-not the VESTS in the con-
gressional saddle nowadays. Repre-
sentative Garner, Democrat OF Texas,
declared today in the house.
"You used to say the South was
in the saddle" said Mr. Garner but
I want some of you western Repub
licans to say in the next campaign
who is there now. Massachusetts is
in the saddle. Massachusetts presides
over this house; it presides over the
senate and has a member OF the
steering committee in the house.
But you are not satisfied with that
When the speaker has occasion to
leave he substitutes in his place the
gentleman from Massachusetts, Mr..
Walsh, a very good man."
Every Republican arose and cheered
why, one would conceive from his
performance" said Garner, that you
would rather substitute the little gi-
ant from Massachusetts than take one
you put in the chair by your votes"
There was more applause, and Mr.
Garner said he had mentioned it
merely to illustrate to you Republic
cans that you haven't sufficient ca
pacity on your side of the house out

j. s. PROBE
Of KU KLUX
POSTP'O
To JULY IS
Several Are Examined Dur
ing Day-A. L. Uhler
Two Hours Under Quiz
Send For Records Of
Klan

Hating as abruptly as it began,
the federal grand jury investigation
of Ku Klux Klan activities in Mari
copa county took a peculiar twist
Yesterday afternoon when Francis ID.
Cradle, assistant United. States dis
trict attorney, who is directing the
probe. announced a recess until on
or about July Is and excused a
dozen or more persons subpoenaed
as witnesses.
Announcement OF the recess came
after A. L. Uhler, former secretary
of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' association, alleged kligrapp
of Camelback Kan No. 6, had been
closeted with the grand jurors dur
ing the greater part of the after
noon All records of the organlZa-
tion in this county are supposed to
have been in the possession of Uhler.
Whether the grand jury had COM
pleted its work of investigation of
the khan or merely recessed to await
the appearance of Judge William Ii.
Sawtelle was not made public. Mr..
Cradle refused to comment on any
phase of the investigation or to say
if his office would continue the
probe when the grand jurors re-
convene the middle of next month
In this connection, federal court
attaches explained that under no cir
cumstances would it be possible fol-
the grand jury to return indictments
in the absence OF the court.
UhIer Examined
Mr.. Uh1er, admittedly a member
of the klan at one time, entered the
grand jury chambers shortly after
o'clock and was not excused until
more than two hours later. Several
times during the afternoon, Attorney
Cradle left the jury room and went
into consultation with persons SUBJ
poenaed as witnesses in his cham
bers. Some OF these men were ex-
cused from further service after
these interviews with Gir. Cradle.
1t is known, however, that the
subpoena served on Uhler called
upon him to bring into court all
documents, literature and records OF
the khan which he might have IN
his possession.
A similar subpoena also was serv-
ed upon J. W. Spear, editor of the
Arizona Republican, and late in the
afternoon, Mr.. Spear furnished the
grand jurors with several communl-
cations received by him, supposedly
from the khan and bearing what was
purported to be the official seal oi
the Comeback klan.
The only other witness called dur
ing the afternoon was Sheriff John
Montgomery. Sheriff Montgomery
was in the jury chambers about lO
minutes.
Victim ls Witness
In the morning session, the grand
Jury heard Aubrey Carter, Negro
janitor, tell of his treatment at the
hands of the klan. Carter was one
of the victims OF klan outrages
being severely beaten by q pand OF
the hooded organization.
DR.. Harry A. Hughes. publisher OF
seThe Crank" and John Q. Dunbar
publisher of "Dunbar's Weekly" also
appeared during the morning.
Among witnesses excused yester-
day afternoon when the grand jury
probe was halted was Ira Haywood
negro bootblack, whipped by th'
klan ON March S, and Pete Condos
Greek cafe man, whipped and tarree
ana feathered April II.

WOMEN AND SAVINGS

At the conference of mutual saw
ings banks, in session at Atlantic
City, one of the delegates said that
the wife is the money saver of the
family, that she is usually the better
business man Of the conjugal firm,
that "the average woman spends less
on her clothes than the average
man," that women whose husbands
earn between $4,000 and $4,000 a
year are much more economical than
men," and that "men are more ex-
travagant in the matter of luxuries.
such as lunches, cigars and amuse-
ments."
The delegate saying this was a
woman, and no doubt could qualify
as an expert on women and their
habits. It is not altogether pleasing
to have her classify lunches and
cigars as luxuries, and she must
mean certain kinds of lunches and
cigars to which most men are
strangers. 1t is. perhaps putting
some strain on the English language
to apply the word luxury" to the
average lunch, and in the matter of
the average cigar, we'll, well-it is
not luxury,
But there is sound foundation for
the remarks of the delegates at this
convention, tending to confirm a sus-
plclon which very many husbands
have but which they do not admit in
the presence of the household, be-
cause "discipline mu st be main
tanned" and because Mrs. Wife al
ready has pretty we'll settled con-
vlction that the responsibilities of
the home depend mainly on her.
The home-making and home-build-
ing instinct is strong in most women.
1t is they in most instances who urge
the man to "buy" a ""little place" and
who do the most heroic skimping and
pairing of expense accounts to meet
the payments on the home. The
wives who try to keep up with the
Joneses are not as numerous as the
husbands who dig too deeply into
Uhelr net earnings to support the
character of |3good fellow" popular
man" or "sport." Z
