VISIT
BLASTS REPUBLICAN
LOVE FEAST HERE
County Body, in Fear of Los
ing Many New Votes, Drops
Plans for Dinner.

Fear that a stampede 10 the Beve-
ridge banner would ensue following
the senator's visit here March %, has
caused the St Joseph county repub-
Hcan organization to cancel its plan
for a love feast two days later and
substitute in its stead an organiza-
ton meeting.
The regular republican organiza-
ton is counted on as the stronghold
of the new movement in this county.
So the G. o. p. planned a love feast
for March % and gave the rlan a
little publicity. The next day the
Beveridge forces announced that the
Indiana statesman would visit South
Bend March 23
Wrench i'm Gears.
This announcement was a monkey
wrench i'm the republican machine.
The leaders Immediately conjured up
the impetus that Beveridge's coming
to South Bend would give 10 his fol-
lowing, and they feared that any
such love feast promoted under the
harmony Of both banners, would re-
act favorably to the former senator.
Camouflaging the real reason for
eliminating the love feast March %
with the cryptic announcement that
il was impossible to secure a speak
er and perfect all plans within the
short space Of time they in turn
decided upon an organization ses-
sion, with the scope Of the gathering,
limited 20 the faithful few. II was

Defendants Counsel, in Clos
ing Argument, Blames Slain
Mans Parents.

Los ANGELES. Calf. March IA.
Tears came to the eyes of Mrs.
Madalynne Obenchain Tuesday as
she listened to the opening argu-
ment in her behalf in her trial on
the charge of numbering her sweet
heart, J. Bolton Kennedy Alfred
+. Macdonald, who made the ar
gument. dwelt upon the love which,
according TO the testimon- existed
between the defendant I'd Ken
nedy, declaring it showed she had
no motive for plotting Kennedy's
death
one Of the three women on the
jury wept when Macdonald read
letter Kennedy wrote 20 Mrs
Obenchain, containing the appeal;
Love me always"
The attorney declared the states
theory that Mrs Obenchain was a
woman scorned" had been disprov-
ed and that IF anything this was a
case of a man scorned"
Macdonald viii resume his argu-
ment Wednesday. According TO the
announced program. he viii be fol-
lowed by Jud r. Bush. senior de-
Tense counsel, who will address the
jury for the rest of the day. Assist

attorney, closed the first argument
for the state Tuesday afternoon. ap-
pealing to jury 10 render a verdict

Blamcs Kenncdy's Parents.
There probably never has been
case. Macdonald said ip which
greater love and affection appeared
than at the present trial
"If II hadn't been for the efforts
of Kennedy's parents ito prevent
it," Macdonald declared, these
two souls would have been married
today and probably had one or two
little ones running around this
court house"
Mr. Macdonald sprung surprise
with his last words to the jury on
Tuesday:
Il am going to show YOU in the
morning. out Of the mouths Of the
states own witnesses fin this case,
that J. BeltOn Kennedy met his
death in Beverly Glen at the hands
OF two roughly dressed men, just
as Madalynne Obenchain said he
did"
Worried Look Gone.
When court convene d Tuesday
Mrs. ObenChain looked more as she
did during the first days OF her
trial Apparently knowing that so
far as her personal efforts were con-
cerned the trial was over. she came
into the court smiling. The tired
and worried look she had worn
since taking the witness stand IS
her own defense had vanished

chains story as canned state

be present, as we must try and
line up for the fall campaign.
In a decision handed down May
Is, the United States court ruled
thatliquor, while within the United
States, in transit from one country
to another, can be seized under
the prohibition act.
The opinion of the court was
delivered by Justice Holmes who
referred to the danger of leakage
in transit" emphasizing the pur-
pose of the prohibition amend
ment and the Volstead Act to pre-
vent the use of intoxicating liquors
as a beverage. The decision will
be a great victory for prohibition
enforcement. 1t means that mil
lions of gallons Of liquor which
have been 'lost in transit" enroute
through the United States to
another country willnot now have
a chance to enter the country.
Candidates running on wet plat
forms in Pennsylvania went down
to defeat. Complete returns on
the nominees are not available,
but it is known that candidates
who announced for beer and wine
were overwhelmingly defeated.
