LADY ASTOR APPEALS
To WOMEN To FORCE
ONE MORAL STANDARD
TRepubIIcan a. ?. LEASED WIrel

IRepubiican a. p. Leased WlreJ
BALTIMORE, Nd. April 26-The
big contribution that women can
make to politics and national life is to
face and tackle the moral standard,
Lady AStor told crowded mass
meeting here tonight.
She pleaded with the woman of
America to insist upon the single
standard Of morality, mot by lower
ing their standard, but by raising
mems standard to that of women. "
She believed that If the mothers OF
France who have suffered so much,
had the vote and had learned how 10
use it, there would not now exist the
amazing French attitude at Genoa.
"That is one Of the tragedies Of
France and threatens to be one OF
the tragedies of the world" she said.
Lady Asto., asked women to put into
pubIic life the qualities they nave
had to put into their home hfe-un-
selfishness. cleanliness and kindness.
She told the women, assembled mere
for the national convention OF the
League of Women Voters, that they
were right not to make a new polit-
ical party.
ssYou are equally right to try and
lift and raise and improve the plat
forms of both the political parties Dy
Joining them" she said.
HSee that you send neither wind
bags nor carpetbaggers TO represent
YOU" .;oa

Astor recalled that the league was
started by America, or an Amer

aSome seem to think Of the starter
and forget it was the high purpose OF
This people which gave the impetus
which brought the league from Amer
lea to Europe" she said.
"TThan we go for a great ideal.

follow and not be sidetracked by a
personality.

STATES ATTORNEY
CURTA|LS SEVDENCE
At BURCH HEARING
Republican A. p. leased wIre1

Los ANGELES, April 26-The tes-
timony of two of the prosecutions
most important witnesses, given to-
day at the second trial of Arthur G.
.Burch for the murder of J. Belton
Kennedy was greatly curtailed by the
questioning of Deputy District At
torney Asa Keyes, and many facts
brought out at the first trial were not
told to the present jury. These wit
nesses were Mrs. Elizabeth BeZenty
and Henry Liefer, residents of Bev-
erly Clan. a suburb where the Ken
nedy summer cottage was located,
and near which he was shot the night
OF August 5, last.
Mrs Bezenty was the prosecutions
first witness today She was asleep
when the first shot was fired she said
but was out in front of the house and
saw the sparks of the second shot as
they arose above the trees in front
of the Kennedy cottage. She told of
hearing a mans voice say:
I've got him. and a woman's voice
cry:
Bolton, are You hurt?" after hur-
riedly dressing and going to the steps
leading up from the road to the cot
tage she said she found Mrs. Oben-
chain and George Deering there.
Deering had been stopped by Mrs.
Obenchain shortly after the shooting
as he was driving out of the Glen.
Mrs. Obenchain was crying and very
nervous, Mrs. Bezenty said.
Mr.. Liefer testified that he was iii
his house when both shots were fired
but shortly after came out to see
what had happened.
He said he heard voices coming
from a heavy growth of brush be-
tween his house and the Kennedy
cottage. and his dog ran to the brush
and commenced barking. He silenced
the dog, but could not distinguish
what was being said. The only lights
on the roadway came from car
standing in front of Kennedy's cot
tage, according to Liefer. He told Of
behring's car approaching later.
At Mrs. Obenchain's first trial
Liefer testified to seeing the reflec-
tion of automobile headlights near
where the prosecution claims Burch
had his rented car the night of
August 5. Liefer was not questioned
concerning this today. After the
jury had retired to deliberate in the
Obenchain case they returned to the
courtroom and requested that this
part of Licfer's testimony be read to
them.

TRepubIiean A. p. Leased WireI

WASHINGTON. April discharges
that the country is flooded with mill
lions of dollars worth of counterfeit
currency, federal reserve notes, gov
ernment securities and stamps, ''are
wholly without foundation" Secre-
tary Mellon declared tonight in a let
ter to Frank j. Coleman, editor Of the
Plate Printer.
Mr.. MELONS letter was in response
to one from Mr.. Coleman submitting
at the secretary's request evidence
upon which such charges were pub
lished in the Plate Printer. publica-
tion of the union plate printer en-
ployes of the bureau of engraving
and printing.
The treasury secretary declared
that the data in the national counter
felt detector submitted by Mr.. Cole
man was entirely misleading" and
consisted OF all the counterfeits re-
ported since the Civil war, including
many that have never been accepted.
The receipt of counterfeit currency
by the secret service. he asserted,
furnished the most accurate indica-
ton of the amount actually in circu-
lation, and he quoted figures COM
pairing the amount Of counterfeits to
the genuine issues outstanding for
the past five years.
But the counterfeits coming into
the possession of the treasury during
the fiscal year 1921, Mr.. Mellon ex-
planned, represented only $l4,522 OF
money actually in circulation.
No counterfeits of war savings
stamps have been found since a
counterfeit discovered in 1919, he
continued, while the only counterfeit
revenue stamps reported We're bot
tied in bond" strip stamps which 'can
cause no loss except to those who
purchase whiskey.
He added that there had been nc
counterfeits reported of postage
stamps, Liberty bonds, Victory notes
or interest coupons.

Against Moving Liberty Bell

TO the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir--You are perfectly right in your
objection to the proposed removal ot
the Liberty Bell from it's shrine IN
Independence Hall for the purpose OF
exhibition ut local festival in Chl-
cago. It has always seemed to me that
these occasional pcregrinations OF
priceless relic were calculated to cheaper
It. not alone in the city where It nrst
proclaimed liberty throughout the
lnnd,' but in the estimation also OF the
people Of the country through when u
was transported. These people turned
out to see it very much as they do
when the circus comes to town and the
elephants parade the streets; they are
prompted by curiosity and the desire
to get something for nothing, rather
than BY the reverent patriotism which
aniniates the spectator who makes Pill
grimage to the home of this venerable
symbol of our glorious heritage.
There are sentimental reasons against
taking the Liberty Bell to Chicago or
anywhere else: your editorial makes an
admirable point in the suggestion that
the utilization Of the Stone OF Scone as
an itinerant exhibit. or the institu-
tion Of a junketing tour with the de.
tachcd drums Of the Parthenon: would
u
pie who treasure these antiquities. DOz-
ems, yes, scores. of similar examples
might have been instanced: but the two
you mention are sufficient to prove the
undesirabIlity Of again placing our sa
cred Liberty Bell in the category OF
Cheap John" attractions.
And il this sentimental. or shall
say patriotic. reason were not sufficient,
! hold that the physical dangers to the
relic in railroad journeys Of this price.
less relic and the possibility Of acci-
dent. to say nothing of the damage that
threatens the Bell every time it is
moved. should warn our C"uncilmen
against granting the request for another
shipment covering thousands Of miles
by the promoters Of a local exhibition.
Let the Liberty Bell stay where il
is and where it bclongs-Independence
Hall. I strongly indorse the EVENING
PURLIc LEDGER's attitude.
