Germ-KiIling Walls.

not only be readily freed from germs
by washing. but they possess the

WASHINGTON, March 16.-There
were lust two developments today IN
the soldiers bonus muddle. One was
the filing by Chairman FordneY OF
the ways and means committee. or
the majority report on the compro- :
mise bill, which was estimated 10 cost
the governmen a total or S4.0sS,fl 49, :
$50. The other was the circulation OF
petition by Representative Line
berger of California, a former service
man. for a. conference OF house Re
publicans for next Tuesday evening
to discuss the bonus legislation.
Mr.. Iineberger announced tonight
that there were so signatures to the
petition or 10 more than the number
required under the rules for con-
ference call. He said. however. that
he hoped 1t would not be necessary
to present the petition to Representa-
tive Towner chairman of the Repub-
lican house organization. Its presen-
tation, he added, would depend upon
the outcome of the conference be-
tween house leaders and Speaker Gil
lett regarding procedure for the call
ing up of the bill on the floor.
II there is a decision at that confer
ence to consider the bill under a sus-
pension of the rules. Mr.. Linberger
said the petition would be presented
There was some speculation as to
whether formal conference call
would operate a delay consideration
of the legislation.
Chairman Fordney declared It still
was his determination to bring the
bin UP Monday under a suspension OF
rules. if that could be done. and il not
to call it up Tuesday under special
rule If such a rule could be obtained.
Speaker Gillett is due to arrive to-
morrow from Florida and at that time
the question of whether the bill will
be taken up Monday probably will be
settled. Mr.. Fordnev said the confer
ence with the speaker would be in
perfect harmony" and that if Mr..
Gillett held against suspension of
the rules he would proceed with plans
to bring the measure up under
special rule.
The chairman went on to say that
IL was not his desire to limit debate;
that if'the measure was taken up un-
der a suspension of the rules he would
ask unanimous consent for two days
of discussion, which would throw the
final vote until late Tuesday. Should
his request be denied debate would
be limited TO 40 inmates under the
house rules.
The majority report on the bill was
approved by all of the Republicans OF
the ways and means committee eX-
cept Representatives Treadway
Of Massachusetts, and Tilson of Con-
necticut. who voted against the meas
ure in committee and who were not

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 1e-Asa
Keyes. deputy district attorney, was
nearing the close of the final argu-
ment in the trial of Mrs. Madalynne
Obenchain, charged with the murder
Of r. Bolton Kennedy, when adjourn
ment was declared by Judge Sidney
n. Reeve late today. Indications were
Keyes would complete his address
tomorrow morning and the jury
would retire by noon.
Keyes replied to defense argu-
ments that no motive had been
shown for Mrs, Obenchain to con-
spire with Arthur C. Burch to slay
Kennedy, by declaring 1t had been
shown she had been spurned by Ken
nedy. He reviewed the relations be
tween the defendant and the slain
man from 1917 to Aug. 5, 1871, the
date OF the shooting, and read from
the letters which passed between
them. 1t was the fifth time during
the trial Mrs. Obenchain heard these
missives read: Kennedy turned her
down, not once. but three times, the
prosecutor declared.
Keyes said that Mrs. Obenchain's
letters "speak more truthfully tnan
her lips and argued to the jury that
the letters showed the motive for
crime in Kennedy's refusal to mar
ry her.
The Jury was told that Mrs. Oben-
chain held Kennedy. Burch and Ralph
Obenchain 'in her grasp and turned
everyone OF them into love slaves.
Speaking of Mrs. Obenchain's tes-
timony, Keyes said:
when Madalynne Obenchain tells
YOU she was never in Burch's room
while he was in Los Angeles except
on one occasion She is telling you a
deliberate falsehood, and If she will
lie about that she will lie about any
thing in this case"

CROWDSPACK
HIGH SCHOOL
AUDITORIUM
SECOND DAY
Interest In Colorado River
Hearing Attracts Record
Crowds; Delegates Ad-
journ to High School.

Ascension Of the Arthur B. Davis
plan for the development of the Col
orado river, equally rapid descent of
other proposed plans and proposals
for 2O-year litigation holiday on adj
judication of rights accruing to lands
through construction of the Boulder
Canyon dam marked the second day
of hearings being conducted here by
the Colorado river commission. of
which Herbert Hoover, secretary of
commerce. is chairman. Development
plans of the director of the United
States reclamation service are now in
the hands OF congress. They propose.
among other things. construction Of a
flood control and water impounding
dam at Boulder Canyon.
From the time that Judge r. r.
Sloan, speaking on behalf of the city
Of Phoenix, opened the hearings yes
terday morning until they were con-
cluded by Mayor John L. Bacon of
San Diego, Calf, at o'clock last
night, there was an unmistakable
trend toward the Davis plans. In
fact, every speaker of the day voiced
his unequivocal approval of the Davis
conclusions, as submitted In his re-
port to A. b. Fall. secretary OF the
interior department.
came occasional attacks on the i'm
practicability of the high line plan as
outlined by George II. Maxwell in his
talk before the commission Wednes-
day. The Maxwell plans were de-
scribed by speakers as "ideals impos-
sible of attainment" and as unfeas-
ible. AS the day wore on. there was
less and less reference to the Max
well proposals, until finally they were
entirely lost to sight by the growing
strength and practicability Of the
Davis plans.
Witnesses appearing before the
commission laid much stress on the
desire for Immediate action" Ques-
tions of ALLEGATION of waters and prior
rights of land to the use thereof were
in the background while speakers en-
phasized flood control measures as of
paramount Importance because OF the
iminent danger hanging over the I'M
perial and Yuma valleys.
They proposed immediate construc-
ton of the Boulder Canyon dam; the
laying aside of issues arising from the

OBENCHA|N CASE WILL co
TO JURY THIS AFTERNOON

to convict Mrs. Obenchain OF the
crime of murder" and said they
would be false to their oaths" if
they let the fact that the defendant
was a woman affect the verdict.
Mrs. Obenchain watched Keyes in
tently as he argued, but it was not
apparent that his statements con-
corning her actions or her testimony
affected her. She occasionally toyed
with a small silver pencil.
Jud Rush, senior counsel for the
defense. completed his argument this
morning in an eloquent plea that
brought tears to Mrs Obenchain's s
eyes as she sat beside him. He asked
the jury to return verdict that
would open the barred doors for this
woman who has suffered so much
He pleaded that she be turned
back to freedom where she could
grow old in doing good in the world,
and when her time come her soul
could join that of her lover. J. Bel
ton Kennedy" Telling the jury that
Mrs. Obenchains testimony that she
saw two roughly dressed men run
from the scene of the shooting stood
undisputed, Rush said:
I am sure you do not hold human
life so cheap and human rights so
indistinct, that you can find her tes-
timony false and the mere theory Of
the state true"
Rush told the jury that he was not
defending Burch and that he was not
required to answer the prosecution s
question as to who killed Kennedy.
He said it was significant fact that
Kennedy feared some one long before
he became engaged to Mrs. Oben-
chain and before Burch came to Los
Angeles in July, 1921. To show that
Kennedy realized this fear. Mr..
Rush pointed out that the testimony
showed Kennedy at one time had
been beaten up" that he always
took some one with him when going
out at night. and that he always car
ried a revolver.
