Navy Asks Secretary Fall to Take Over the Chickaloon Fields for Development.
 DECISION IS COMING SOON Pocahontas Is Competing But May Be Forever , Relegated if Costs Are Not Too High.

WASHINGTON, March 15. -' The Navy Department today formally re- uuested the Interior Department to take over the Chickaloon coal fields in Alaska for he Navy Department, developing the fields by Government operation, or under lease, as might be considered best in the judgement oft he Secretary of the Interior.
 Iu making this announcement, Sec retary Fall of the Interior Department said he was considering the request of the experts of the Department and was collaborating in every way with the Navy to determine the feas- ibility of the plan.
 MT. Fall explained that the Chicka- loon coal fields were ordered closed down on April 1, but that in view or the present constructive negotla- tions. the Navy will continue opera tions until May l.
 Chickaloon coal has at least 90 per cent of the heat value. or the fuel from the Pocahontas fields, no" used by the Navy for bunkering it's ships, and is considered by experts to be the best bunkering coal in the world.
 If the Interior Department takes over the mines in Alaska, the Navy's requirements would have first op- tion on about 100000 tons every year.
 One question now being consid- cred is whether the Alaskan coal could compete in costs of production and delivery with the Pocahontas coal. It is conceded that it could be brought down the coast from An- chorage, but the cost might be great CT than that of Pocahontas coal.
 While declining to forecast his ul- timate decision, Secretary Fall said he was opposed in principle to the Government operation of any enter prise in competition with private op- eration.

TREATY FORCES WIN IN INITIAL.
 STRENGTH TEST
Efforts to Extend Pact to All Nations Is
 Rejected:

WASHINGTON, March 15. - The first roll-call on any issue as a test of strength in the great debate on the Pacific four-power treaty came today when the Senate promptly rejected an amendment offered by Robinson, (Dem.), Arkansas, designed to extend the benefits of the treaty to all non- signatory nations, whose interests mightb affected in time of war.
 Senator McCumber, during the de- bate preceding the test vote, formal ly proposed the creation of an asso- citation of nations, and providing for a referendum of citizens on all issues threatening war, and which strongly condemned all wars of aggression. He read with dramatic effect the plat form plank of the Republican party regarding such an association of na- tions.
 A similar amendment offered by Pittman, (Dem.), Nevada, was voted down this afternoon, 50 to 2S, this vote disclosing the real strength of the contending forces.

WASHINGTON, March 15. - The Treasury Department today was au- thorized by resolution of Congress to issue gold certificates without de- mand, thus discontinuing the rule established to conserve the gold sup ply of the Government in 1917.
 This action is said to remove the last artificial barrier in the cur rency situation growing out Of the world war. It is expected to pro- mote better conditions in America and throughout the world.
 The Treasury now is holding a hoard of three billion dollars in gold, and the Governments officials, in- ,cluding the leading members of Con- gross, declare there is no reason why gold certificates should not here- after be freely available.
 The effect of the release order is

LOS ANGELES, March 15.-Tears shone in the eyes of Madelynne Oben- chain, when her attorney, Alfred Nc Onald, in making his opening argument for the defense today told of the true love" between her and John Belton Kennedy, whom she is accused of mur- dering, and declared that she had no possible motive for taking her sweet hearts life.
 The beautiful defendant maintained her self-control, but wept silently as her lawyer calmly argued the lack of motive for the alleged crime and what he termed preposterous accusation.
 The defendant and her former hus- band, Ralph Obenchain, a Chicago lawyer, remain the two most interest ing human documents in the mur- der trial. By counsel for the prose- cution MT. Obenchain has been de- scribed as human doormat," for en- during the alleged sights and finally the divorce on the part of his wife.

HOOVER MUCH INTERESTED
Assistant s Secretary Huston Will Head Envoys, Aiming to See "Everything.'

SEATTLE, March 15.-General in- vestigation of coalitions in Alaska, in which the Department of Con- merce is interested keenly, will be undertaken this summer by party of officials, working under the gen. eral direction of Secretary Herbert Hoover, headed by Assistant Secre- tary Huston.
 Particular attention will be paid to the salmon fisheries and the AL aska fur seal industry on the Pribil- off Islands on the westward coast.

 Mrs. Obenchain, confessing her love for the murdered Kennedy, weeps every time her lawyers refer at length to the fatal romance. At these mo- ments her appearance is that of a person suffering unutterable grief She has not yet given way complete ly to her feelings, but a breakdown is expected before the argument for the defense is concluded.
 The court room is packed with fash ionable women. Mrs. Obenchain is tastefully attired in gown of the latest mode, with slight suggestions of mourning. She wears no jewels. She bears herself, going 60 and from the court room, with the naughty pride of a grand dame in her drawing room and is the exposure of all eyes through out the trial.
