"A careful consideration of the

AUSTRIA GIVEN 25

S25.0O0,0O0 LOAN

WASHINGTON, March 80. - The
joint resolution already adopted by
the senate authorizing a 25-year ex-
tension for payment by Austria of
$25,000,000 for flour purchased through
the United States grain corporation,
was adopted late today by the house.
The vote. 142 to so, was taken after
a bitter partisan debate and after
the defeat of a motion by vote of
1S7 to 115 to send the measure back
to the ways and means committee
Members advocating this move in
sisted action should not be taken un-
til the subject was considered by the
debt commission.
Representative Longworth. repub-
lican of Ohio, in presenting the reso-
luton, said it released Austrian as
sets pledged for payment to the
United States, if substantially all of
the other creditor nations waived
similar liens upon Austrian assets.
The loan, he said rested upon an en-
tirely different basis from the allied
loans and no interest had been paid.
because Austria lacked income suffi-
cient TO meet her own government
expenses.
There was a round OF applause
from both sides of the chamber when
Representative Walsh, republican of
Massachusetts, who offered the mo-
tion to recommit, declared the time
had come when congress ought to
pay attention to the needs of its own
people instead of trying to aid those
who sought a few years ago to over
throw this government.
You want us TO do something lust
because some well-meaning ladies'
and some charitable rganiza+iope

shouted. I'VE are not responsible
for the conditions about which they
write. but we are responsible for con-
ditions within our own borders. 1

Representative Thomas, democrat
Kentucky, declared thousands of coat
miners were suffering and starving
at home, and while he had introduced
a relief bill it had been ignored. He
contended congress ought TO help
these people ahead OF the Austrians.

COAL MEN FAILS
To TAKE ACTION
To HAL STRIKE

NEW YORK, Mar. 29.-With a
preliminary declaration that ''resi-
dents of the anthracite mine region
are the most prosperous in the United
States" operators today launched
before the sub committee on wage
contract negotiations their fight
against the 10 demands OF the miners
as basis for settlement of the strike
set for April i.
Speaking for the operators. s. d.
Warmer, president of the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation company, pro-
duced figures setting forth that bank
deposits in the anthracite district had
increased $4,000 in the last two
years. This, he said, clearly indicated
that the miners already are receiving
the saving wage" upon which they
base their demands for 20 per cent
increase for contract work and 81 per
shift for day labor.
Phillip Murray, vice president of
the United Mine Workers OF America,
countered with a denial that the oper-
ators' figures, compiled by the ma
tional industrial conference board.
were based on facts. The industrial
board, he said, is a "clear cut, open
shop, anti-union organization, whose
ored and thoroughly unreliable"
Mr.. Warmer admitted that the
data OF the industrial board had been
gathered at the request of the oper-
ators and said the coal producers
had contributed funds to the organi-
zation. He denied. however, that the
coal operators were members of the
board, which lists as such q score of
the larger industrial corporations.
The conference Of the arbitration
committee today failed to take any
action which would halt suspension
of the work at the anthracite mines
Saturday, Secretary German an
nounced In a communique issued
when the session ended.
The Saving wage" demand OF the
miners was still the point at issue,
it was said, with union delegates
maintaining that costs ard living in
the anthracite regions had been on
the upgrade, while wages were at a
standstill. Supporting their conten-
tion that the pay schedule should be
cut in order to make possible a reduc-
tion in the cost of coal to the con-
sumer, the operators contended that
while miners demand a 90 per cent
raise in wages, living costs have
dropped 90 per cent since July, 1920.
At the close OF the days conference
both sides expressed hope that they
would reach an early agreement.
In the meantime, they said the
work in the mines would be halted

VOTE IS CAST
AGAINST ARMS
PARLEY PACT.
Unanimous Approval Civ
en- Treaty Restricting
Subs And Poison Gas;
Naval Treaty Ratified
Seventy To One.
ERepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Mar. 29.--The two
arms conference treaties, limiting the
navies Of the great powers and re-
stricting the use of submarines and
poison gas, were ratified in a land
slide of appreciation today by the
senate.
To the naval limitation covenant
declaring a naval building holiday
and fixing the ratio of capital ship
strength for tho United States, Great
Britain, France and Italy, the senate
gave its final assent by a vote of
"a to 1, and then almost without de-
bate, it accepted, II to 0, the pact de-
signed to prevent submarine opera
tions against merchantmen and to
outlaw chemical warfare altogether.
No amendments or reservations were
proposed to either.
The only negative vote was cast
against the treaty by Senator France,
Republican of Maryland, who said he
regarded naval reduction as a dan
gerous eXpedient under present world
conditions. Every other member of
the 'irreconcilable"S treaty bloc who
was present cast a vote in the af-
firmative, although SRnator Boral1,
Republican of Idaho. tofd the senate
he regarded the treaty as only be-
ginning and Senator Johnson, Repub-
lican of California, declared he ac-
cepted the Notifications status quo
provisions for the Pacific with grave
nisgivings.
Al speech assailing the poison gas
articles Of the submarine and gas
treaty was made on the floor by Sem
ator WadsWorth, Republican OF New
York, chairman of the military COM
mittee, but before the ratification roll
call he left the chamber and did not
vote. The New York senator dis
agreed with the statement in the
treaty text that use of gas in war
fare had been Justly condemned by
the general opinion Of the civilized
world" and argued that chemical
warfare had not proved actually
more brutal than other accepted
methods of destruction and expressed
a fear that the treaty pledges would
be violated in any emergency.
AS soon as the two pacts had been
disposed of, administration leaders
brought formally before the senate
the general Far Eastern treaty. De-
bate on it will begin tomorrow, with
indications pointing to opposition
from a small group OF senators who
believe that Chinas interests were
not sufficiently protected 1t is the
hope of the leaders, however, that
both this pact and the Chinese tariff
treaty, the last remaining covenant
of the conference, will be ratified dur
ing the present week.

BURCH ATTORNEY TO
INVESTIGATE CHARGE
OF JURY TAMPER|NG'

LOS ANGELES. March ga
blanket challenge by the defense TO
the entire jury panel appeared as
a possibility today in the trial OF Ar
thur G. Burch, charged with the
murder of j. Belton Kennedy here
last August.
Cause for the challenge first ap-
peared when Miss Zoe rutherford,
being examined by Paul Schenck. the
chief counsel for the defense. said
she could not be a fair juror. due TO
the fact that a man representing him
self 10 be a. relative Of the district
attorney called at her home with
reference to the case.
She said the man talked with her
mother and she overheard the con-
versation.
"He asked mother whether I was
opposed TO capital punishment Miss
Rutherford said. and he also told
her that Burch was guilty"
Mr.. Schenck then asked permission
to inquire of all jurors tentatively
accepted up to that time whether
they had received such visits.
Mrs. Hannah 5. G.. Reas said that
someone had telephoned her home
shortly after she was summoned to
serve as a juror and had requested
information as to her religious af-
filiations.
l.. e. Bardwine said that someone
had asked his neighbors what opin-
ions he had expressed concerning the
case.
Another prospective juror. c. f.
Miller. said that man represent
ing himself as being from the dis
trict attorneys office, had called dur
ing his absence from home and had
talked 10 Mrs. Miller. Miller said the
man had inquired whether he was
a member OF certain fraternal or
ganization and in what business he
was engaged.
An immediate investigation will be
made by Attorney SchenclS for the
defense and if IL is discovered that
jurors have been tampered with by
of the district attor-
ney's office he will challenge the en-
tire panel.
Progress was slow today. When
court adjourned only seven jurors had
been accepted tentatively. In addi-
ton to Miss Rutherford who was eX-
cused at her own request one juror
was excused as being opposed 70
capital punishment and another be-
cause of fixed opinion.
The defendants father and moth
er, Rev. and Mrs. w. A. Burch Of

morning. Burch came into court ]

NAVAL MEN FIGHT REDUCTIONS
IRepubIiean A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Mar. 29-Big navy
men started a move in the house to-
day to prevent the proposed reduction
in the navyS enlisted personnel for
next year to $1,000 men.
Announcement was made by Repre-
sentative Macarthur Of Oregon, Re
publican member OF the naval affairs
committee. that when the bill comes
up from the appropriations commit
tee he would offer an amendment to
place the minimum strength at
sc, 600.
The bill, making provision for only
$1,000 men, will be reported to the
house next week by Chairman Kelly
of the subcommittee on appropria-
tions now drafting it.
THE house committee on naval af-
fairs" said Mr.. Macarthur, has re-
ported legislation authorizing an en-
listed strength of $4,000 men and
5000 apprentice seamen and although
am not speaking officially for the
committee, / feel that a large ma
jority of its members are opposed to
reducing our enlisted personnel to
$4,000 when il is well understood that
Japan will have $4,000 and Great
Britain 100000 during the coming
fiscal year.
The recent armament limitation
conference agreed to a ive-five-
three basis Of naval armament, but

bin have their way, the personnel
ratio will be approximately 5-S-3.

want their navy to drop to third
place in personnel, or in any other
respect. What they want is a navy

to the spirit Of the recent conference.
The present enlisted strength of our
navy is approximately $4,000 men. 1t

IN MURDER CASE-Ths photo
graph OF Miss Olivia p. Stone was
taken in Brooklynspolice court when
she was arraigned on charge of
killing Ellis p. Kinkead. formerly a
prominent attorney in Ohio. Kin
kead was shot as he was about to
enter his New York home where he
lived with his wife OF q. year. Miss
Stone became acquainted with Kin
kead, when she nursed him at Gin
cinnati General hospital.
The defendant, her counsel de-
clared, learned of Kinkeid's infidelity
and sought relief in the courts but,
through the latter's political influ-
ence, was unable to secure satisfac-
ton. Not long afterwards, according
10 Mr.. Reilly, Kinkead and Marie
Gormley were married In Cincinnati.
Before leaving Cincinnati, he said
the pair blackened the reputation OF
Olivia Stone at the general hospital
causing her to be dropped from the
nurses list and leaving her a "beggar
in the streets"
A year later Olivia Stone learned
that Kinkead and Marie Gormley
were married. II was then that she
first blamed Kinkead despite his
treatment of her, Reilly continued.
Finding him in New York, she pleaded
in vain for a legal separation, his re-
pulses leading her in desperation to
the act which ended Kiilkead's life.
At Reilly's climax oil Miss Stones
story. one juror cried, and handker-
chiefs were in evidence among spec
tators.
The prosecution rested its case
after calling several witnesses to the
stand who identified cartridges, testi-
fled to seeing Miss Stone shoot four
times at Kinkead as they stood to-
gether in a roadway. and reclted her
actions when taken into custody fol-
lowing the shooting.

President wilkinson and Messrs.

In its present shape the bill is not
quite satisfactory to anybody and 1t
is expected that changes will be made
in the house. Though President
Wilkinson in the morning secured
some concessions to the advocates of
the state school fund appropriation,
It is given out that the legislative
',ommittee of the State Teachers as
sociation is not placated and that the
committee will carry the fight into
the house. 1t is the contention Of
the committee that the bill does not
guarantee the appropriation of the
per capita tax beyond the present
session.
Maddock's Plea Wins
AS a result Of the appearance of
State Engineer Maddox before the
senate on Tuesday afternoon and
evening some modification OF the
bill affecting the state highway de-
partment were secured in the further
consideration of the bill on second
reading in the morning session, es-
pecially with reference to the contin-
ued control OF the state engineer
over the federal aid funds against
which are matched the 10 per cent
fund of the counties. The strong plea
in favor of blle modification of the
bill in this respect was the right of
the boards of supervisors OF the
counties TO dictate the manner in
which the 10 per cent fund should
be expended.
II is understood that the sup
porters of the bill endeavored to meet
the views of Governor Campbell in
such amendments as were made
previous to the changes effected yes
terday and that with those changes
they say they have gone farther than
the governor required.
