BURCH is DEFENDED
IN OBENCHAIN PLEA
Attorneys for Defense Claim that
Neither Burch or Mrs. Obenchain
Had Part in Murder.
(By Associated Press Leased wire.)


Los Angeles, Cal. - Neither Mrs.
Madalynne Obenchain nor Arthur c..
Burch, her co-defendant, had anything
to do with the shooting Of j. Bolton
Kennedy, according to the burden of
the argument today of Alfred F. Mac
Donald, defense attorney, at Mrs.
Obenchain's trial on the charge of
numbering Kennedy.
Macdonald at the opening of the
morning session launched into an at
tack on the states testimony intended
to show that Burch lay in wait for
Kennedy while Mrs. Obenchain lured
the latter to the spot in Beverly Glen
where the shooting occurred. He said
there was no conclusive evidence that
Burch was in the glen the night of the
shooting and that it was absurd" to
believe Burch carried a shot gun from
Chicago to Los Angeles rs charged by
the state, with the intention of shoot
ing a man ne had never seen.
The attorney called attention to the
fact that no one had testified to hav-
ing seen Burch with shot gun. One
witness testified he had shot gun
case and another that he, on the night
of the shooting carried some object
wrapped in newspaper, the general out
line of the package being that of a
taken down shot gun. Macdonald al
so declared that state witnesses who
said they saw an automobile parked
in the glen near the scene of the trag-
edy were very indefinite" as to the
time.
Declaration that Madalynne Oben-
chains love for Kennedy was too great
to admit of possibility that she should
be guilty of the crime charged, was
the closing statement of MacDonald's
argument. He said the story of Ma
alynne Obenchain was one of love of
undying devotion. Noon recess was
taken with arrangement that Jud R.
Rush, senior defense take up the final
defense argument at the opening of the
afternoon session.

SECOND AMENDMENT
REFUSED BY SENATE
Votes so to Is Against Inviting Other
Nation to Have Part in Four
Power Treaty.
(Bv Associated Press Leased Wirel

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.l
Washington, D. G. - For the third
time the Senate defeated today an eff
fort to amend the four power treaty to
permit participation of outside nations
in international conferences over con-
troversies arising in the Pacific.
An amendment for that purpose by.
Senator Pittman Democrat, Nevada,
similar to two on the same subject re-
iected yesterday was defeated SO to
.28. The treaty opponents indicated,
however, that they would bring the
proposal forward again later in the
form of a reservation IN the hope that
they might secure the support of a
number of senators who object to all
amendments as matter of principle.
The party alignment on the amend
ment was virtually the same as that
which yesterday defeated similar
amendments as a matter of principle.
The party alignment on the amend
ment was virtually the same as that
which yesterday defeated similar
amendments. Except for temporary
absentee the same few Republicans and
Democrats left the majority of their
respective parties.
The practical effect Of the amend
ment Senator Pittman said, would be
to confne the group of nations affect
ed to Russia, China, The Netherlands
and Portugal. He explained that he
offered it because of objections that
yesterdays proposals were SO broad
as to virtually bring the whole world
under the scope of the treaty
Senator Underwood of Alabama, the
Democratic leader, opposed the amend
ment, although he said he was not in
clined to disagree with it Sin princi-
pie" To amend the treaty he said
would be to reopen the field of nego-
tiations and might destroy the trea-
ty." He pointed that other govern
ments refused to recognize the Rus
sian government.
Negotiation for vote on the treaty
next week were initiated today in con-
ference between Repub VI az Demo
Gratis. Thep ropos&l made waA to linn
it senator's time beginning next Tues
day to one hour on the treaty and 80
minutes on each reservation. 1t was
believed that such a limitation would
bring vote by the end of the week
The proposal was said tolhaye met with
general approval including the "irre-
conciliables."

SWIFT DAMAGE
SUIT Is HEARD
Defendant Asks $4,000 of
Wisconsin Gas Company
for Damages.
ASSERTS NEGLIGENCE

Trial in the damage suit of $4,000
in the case of William j. Swift VS..
the Wisconsin Gas and Electric COM
pank was heard this morning in the
circuit court before Judge Fowler and
a mixed jury. The plaintiff in the ac-
ton was represented by R. V. Baker
as attorney, and the defense by Mort
inner Walker of Racine.
Ask Damages for Injuries.
According to the allegations of the
plaintiff, the public utility company
was negligent in failing to carry light
on a repair car or sound whistles, as
a result Of which an accident occurr-
ed on November 20, 1919 when an au-
tomobile driven by Swift collided with
the company's cars and Swift was in
jured.
Swift took the witness stand this
morning and told of the accident two
and half years ago. He said that
the accident occurred on Milwaukee
avenue near the northern terminus
of the car-line and at the intersection
Of North street. 1t was about five
o'clock in the afternoon of the date
given, and light snowfall was sue
ceeded by a drizzly rain and mist.

cars of the, company on the track,
one of which, according to the com
plant was motor car. and the other,
it's trailer, flat sand car.

lights on the rear end of the trailer
and that he could not see it. The au-
tomobile he was driving crashed into
the repair cars, demolishing the au-
tomobile and injuring the occupants.

ing to his complaint, fractured up
per jaw and bruised shoulder, to-
gether with other injuries. Damages

BOYCOTT Is BROKEN
STATE BUYS CEMENT
Wisconsin State Highway Commission
to Buy Road Material at
Price of $1.41.


Madison, Wis. The Wisconsin
highway commission today determined
to accept bids on the entire 1850, 900
barrels of cement needed to construct
the four hundred miles of concrete
road planned for the present year, at
a price of $1.41 net mill.
This means that the cement boycott
eight middle western states which
held out for lower bids from cement
concerns is broken, A. R. Hirst, high
way engineer said.
Wisconsin had previously accepted
bid of $1.30 net mill on 100000 bar
rels of cement from the Marquette
Cement company. Other concerns fail
ed to meet this price, and in order that
the building program contemplated
by the state and counties might be
carried to completion, it was determ-
ined to close contracts for the whole
amount needed.
The state highway commission feels
that the fight has been carried as far
as it is profitable to carry it, and
that any saving in the price of cement
which might result from a continuance
of the boycott would be far over
weighed by the loss to industry and
to labor resulting from holding up
the work with the construction sea-
son about to open," Mr.. Hirst declared.
Gin order to allow counties full time
to consider the question of accepting
the higher bids the commission re-
quested companies to extend options
held by state for the counties five
days. These options expired today,
and reports from every county, are at
hand requesting the state to exercise
all options for them.
At the meeting of the county high
way commissioners March 7th it was
determined that their highway pro-
gram should proceed as originally
planned. They urged that differences
in price of cement expected and ac-
tually received was so small an amount
per mile that the present low bids
and the unemployment situation justi-
fled proceeding with all important
work"

and a great many of their returns
deceptive and fraudulent"
Field Work Goes Slow.

"In the year 1921 field auditors of
the tax commission were able to cor
rect returns of only 45 corporations"
the governor said. r''That means" he
continued, "that over 1900 corpora
tions will escape taxation because
of the three year limit.
"This year the commission with an
increased force, may be able to correct
from 800 to 400 corporation returns
which will leave $500 corporations
escaping taxation in part for another
year.
cit is eminently unfair to the state
and it's municipalities, and to the cor
poration which has made an honest
return to permit approximately $500
corporations to escape their just bur
den of taxation.
"The returns could be audited for
six years at the time they are now be-
ing audited for three years, at great
saving Of time and expense. There
fore, while the state is spending thous-
ands of dollars to correct dishonest
returns, the state ought to have the
right to make the audit for six years,
instead of three; and if another year
goes by, hundreds of thousands of
dollars, if not millions, will be lost
to the state, and particularly to NUM-
cipalities.
perhaps the most important thing
to do is to let the dishonest taxpayer
know that it is his duty to make cor
rect returns and that honesty is the
best policy so that an expensive audit
of his returns will be unnecessary in
the future.
"In the interests of an equitable dis
tribution of tax burdens, and for the
protection of the honest taxpayer, and
for the collection of taxes fraudulently
withheld, the legislation asked for in
the call for the special session should
not be deferred another year"

that it could not possibly do business.
It's present condition was described as

was said that it would take 1000 ties
month for three years to put it in
shape, not to mention ballast and other
necessities.
1t was said that seven bolts are out

waiting to purchase tickets extended
from the box office all the way to the
corner of Wisconsin and Main streets.
For more than an hour a steady stream
of spectators poured into the theatre
to wonder at and praise its beauty.
After the auditoriums and balconies
had been filled to overlooking, the line
still stood as hundreds held their
places to secure entrance at the Sec
ond performance.
The opening performance started on
time. The crowds had hardly time to
gaze about them at the wonderful
Grapes and the more wonderful dec
orations of the theatre, to realize the
comfort and convenience of all of the
appointments of the theatre, when the
large pipe organ, at which DR.. EN-
Slatre-Wilson presided, pealed forth
the stirring overture which marked
the opening of the playhouse. From
that time on the program proceeded
with "a real pep" that enhanced the
enjoyment of the stellar program.

ed in charming costume OF peach

the suggestion that those who had had
part in the movement chad done their
bit for the promotion of a greater Ke-
nosha." She was applauded time and
again as the audience took this oppor-
tunity to voice its appreciation of the
new structure.
In a similar way the audience APP
plauded the interesting dedicatory adj
dress of Prof. o. L. Trenary, who in en-
phasizing the fact that "this was a
big night in the history of Kenosha"
recalled to the spectators that they
were sitting now where "once Chef
Wattles livery barn had been" The
suggested comparison was enough to
impress all with the real meaning of
the opening of the new theatre. The
speaker praised all who had had a part
in the work declaring that they had
demonstrated that they had the future
of Kenosha at heart.

Mquiring Reporter
TODAY's QUESTION:

How much effect do you think coal
strike will have on Kenosha?
ANSWERS:
G. Potter, 159 Ridge street, coal
dealer-I think that the stocks of coal
on hand by the dealers in Kenosha are
sufficient to tide over any coal strike
that should come in the near future.
| think that coal strike about April
l is very probable and my advice would
be to all homes to lay in their supply
now and wait for emergencies later.
o. A. Mcneil, 600 S. Fremont ave-
nue., coal dealer-I think that there is
enough coal on hand for short time
at least. There will be certain kinds
Of coal that will be available at all
times during coal strike. There are
some non-union mines that probably
would keep working. The Illinois, CEN
trail, and eastern mines will in all
probability close down on AprilN1 with
the general strike.
E. H. Williams, ALTO Fremont avenue,
coal dealer-There is enough coal in
Kenosha right now to last into April
and warm weather and the factories
are stocking up for three or four
months in advance in anticipation of
the strike. l have read that the gov
eminent har given up all hope Of pre-
venting the Strike and it is bound to
come off. The sooner it does, the bet
ter. 1t would be best to have it all
over with before the cold weather
comes around again. 1 would advise
that the people protect themselves
now, by laying in enough coal at least
until warm weather comes.
Goal Dealer'-There is no necessity
for anyone in Kenosha worrying about
about a coal shortage now. The coal
strike is bound to come and when it's
all over coal will be cheaper, because
it will be easier to get during the warm
weather with the lakes open for traf-
fc.
