London Times Supports U. s. Refusal to Participate
 in Conference

LONDON, Mar 10.- Approval Is given bv the London Times in an edi- 'orial this morning to the American governments refusal to participate In the Genoa conference. Although the declinstion is alleged to have caused surprise in government cir cles. the Times declares it will cause surprise nowhere else.
 Discussing tho grounds for the American governmene's objection to taking part in the conference. the newspaper says:
 "Rejection was the only course open to them, and they rejected it naturally and wisely"
 The Times, which Is stronely anti Bolshevik. concludes by condemning the conference.
 Why" it asks, should wa ro 70 Genoa? Why. should the conference be held at all, unless it Is expected that the presence of the British pre- mier patronizing Bolshevism will ap- peal to certain advanced sections of the electorate of Great Britain?"

Germany had won the war What do you thlnk your taxes would have been?
 They would have been 20 times more than the bonus. During the war, the ways and means committee authorized the issuance of over $55,- 00,000,0O0 worth of bonds. Up to that time, since the founding Of this government, we had only spent $31,- 100000, ,000"
 Congressman Fordaey also discuss ed the tariff, assailing the profit eering criminal merchant who bought jack knives for $7.62 a dozen and sold them for $102 dozen"
 The person who advocates the manufacture of articles abroad which can be manufactured here is keeping our labor out of york;. he continued. "The only fair and just plan for a tariff is for an American valuation instead of a, foreign valuation, the United States to collect duty on a valuation fixed by the United States.
 Thus, the one hundred and eleven governments from whom We imported last year, all of whom had different prices on valuations, would pay the same duty on the same articles or a comparable article, when it enters this country. No more $2 jack knives will be sold at 2S00 per cent profit"

IN WITNESS STAND IN OWN DEFENSE Mrs. Obenchain Weeps as She Tells Tailoring Story of
 Kennedy's Death SHE WAS THREATENED Says Kennedy Threatened to Kill Her if She Refused
 to Marry Him
SHE WAS THREATENED

LOS ANGELES, March 9.-Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain, faltering and weeping on the witness stand late to- day, told the story of the staying Of J. Belton Kennedy. her sweetheart, for whsoe murder she stands indicted. Two shots were fired at him from the dark in front of his summer cot tage in lonely Beverly Glen, she said Then two persons she could not iden- tify, fitted past her and disappeared. She and Kennedy went to the cottage at the latter's suggestion, she swore
 This was in direct contradiction Of the states theory of the case, that Mrs .Obenchain persuaded Kennedy to go to the Glen, and that by ar rangement with her, Arthur C. Burch, co-defendant in the case, lay in wait as they approached.
 Between the shots, according to Mrs. Obenchain, Kennedy cried:
 Good night, Mazzlyne," and that after the second explosion, she found him lying lifeless on flight of steps in front of the cottage.
 The story of the shooting was the climax of an alI-day examination Of Mrs. Obenchain. When she concluded her tale. adjournment was taken until

 But you create public sentiment by your propaganda from the Railway Association he declared.

The Pitts. burg Coal Producers Association whose members employ the 45.00O union miners in the western Pennsyl. vanit bituminous field, today reterat ed their determination not to meet the United Mine Workers of America and the operators of the central com Detitive field for the purpose of fix ing new wage scale for the western Pennsvlvania, Ohio, Indiana and Hi. nois fields.

 These words ended q statement given out by the association late to- day. It recited that when the pres ent agreement was made. a resolu- tion was passed by the joint confer ence which proved that prior to the expiration of that agreement, repre- sentatives of the union and operators of the central competitive field should meet and fix a date for a ioint scale conference to take the place of the agreement, which expires March 31, next.

Publication of Note Causes Crisis; India Secretary's
 Dismissal Cheered

LONDON, Mar. 9.--(By the Asso- ciated Press) The Indian crisis, which has developed a sensation, if anything exceeding the recent crisis over the premiership. threatens to in volve the prime minister and the CO., alition in still oraver difficulties. The restoration Of Edwin S. Montagu. secretary for India. which Tn many quarters is called a dismissal. has excited such intense manifestations of joy in the "die hard" camp that there Is an inclination to see some connection between the two crises.
 Moreover, 1t provokes speculation concerning the position of the vice ray, Lord Reading, whose action in publishing the Indian governments note is interpreted as an intention to force the hand of the imperial gov ernmene.
 Lord Reading desiring to publish the offending document. sought per mission of the secretary for India, who technically is his superior. to make the statement public in India. Montagu, without consulting the cab inet and while the prime minister was confined to his room hy illness, gave permission, and Lord Reading had the statement published in India, from which country 1t was telegraph ed through the ordinary channels to the British press.
 Montagu's cabinet colleagues take the ground that he should have with held permission. and simply brought the matter to the attention of the premier and cabinet for their mature consideration.
 Nothing is known as yet regarding Montagu's successor or what position Lord Reading holds in the affair from the official viewpoint, but it is be- lieved that the next India secretary will be a Unionist and probably a member of the house of lords, which would be concession to the Union ists, who are demanding greater in fluence in the coalition.

JUDGE DECIDES J. 5. BURN JAPS OWNERS OF LAND
Upholds Right of American Born Japanese Citizens
 to Land Ownership

EVANSVILLE, Calif., March B. Right of two American-born Japanese citizens to possession of land pur- chased for them by their father, a native of Japan, was upheld today in a decision said to be the first of it's kind In California.
 The decision was rendered by Su- perior Judge E. P. McDaniel in the case of the state of California against Jusuke Shingu and his two minor children. Sumhi Shingu and Kiyako Shingu. The land in question was purchased for $30,500 from c. L. and Mary Douglas in Sutter county, in April, 1919.
 Attorney General U. s. Webb sought to have the property eschew to the state on a claim of fraud and violation of the California anti-alien land law in the purchase of the land
 Judge MoDaniel, who declared that he favored the anti-alien land law and always had held that 1t was con. stItutional, said that under the con stitution, any American-born person has he right to possession in the United States of property in his own right.
 Attorney General Webb stated that should the court hold the transaction to be within the law, that it would require no proof to conceive rapidly expanding Japanese ownership of lfhd, with 100000 Japanese in Cali fornla, and their children rapidly in creasing.
 Judge McDaniers answer was:
 The statement describes an impos- sible situation and if the fault exists, the blame and fault are basic, grow ing as they do out of possibilities created by the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, which declares that all per sons born or naturaliZed in the United States are subject thereof, wherein they reside"

representative. Walberg replied, but declared he would name an instance where "only his size" saved a union negotiator from trouble because he desired to come to an agreement with the carrier.
 There was the Elkhart dispute, ' Walberg added, where they not only threatened to throw him out but to have lynching bee.'
 Further attempts by Jewell to draw out specific instances of inability to come to local agreement only brought heated assertions by the rail road representative that union lead CTS could "camouflage their power any way they wanted to-" but thae it was felt in union locals just the same.
 President Jewell threw back that the Association of Railways also wielded power to lower wages simul- taneously and also to influence the public with appeals for lower wages, giving savings which the roads prom ised should be transferred into lower freight and passenger rates. Walberg then spent 15 minutes carefully ex-

CHICAGO, Mar. 9.-Charges of hid den power in railroad labor organiza- tions and counter-charges of influenc- ing public opinion by propaganda en- livened days presentation of statis- tics by eastern railroads in the wage hearings now in progress before the federal railroad labor board.
 John G. Walberg. appearing for the eastern roads. offered a mass of data in support of the roads request for lower wages for shop craft employees. asking graduated scale within limits to be fixed by the board, the carriers to pay wages prevailing in each To- cality for shop labor. Mentioning the standard country scale asked by B. NJ Jewell, head of the shop unions, Wal berg remarked that agreements could have been reached on several roads If the men had been free to express their wishes"
 Jewell immediately took up the challenge, asking Walberg to name any instance in local negotiations where the men were not free to act
 To do so would endanger the union

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Charg- ing that the four power Pacific treaty resulted from Japalese-British plan to offset the embarrassing effect of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. oppon- enes of the pact sought without suc' cess in the senate today to learn ex- actly by whom the original draft of the document was proposed.
 Both of the senate's representa- tives on the arms conference delega- tiol, Senators Lodge of Massachu- setts, and Underwood of Alabama. declared in reply to direct questions that the delegation head. Secretary Hughes. had conducted most of the nesotiations leading up to the treaty. Lodge said many hands" had helped in the drafting and re-drafting, and that he did not know who made the first suggestion. Underwood assert ed that the first draft he saw was the final one. laid before him by Secre- tary Hughes.
 The statements of the two senate leaders were made in reply to se- ries Of questions by Senator Robin son, Democrat, Arkansas, who told the senate when the cross-question. ing was over that, although we don't know and will never find out from any authentic source who wrote the first draft" he was inclined to believe thht the finished product re- suited from the joint labors of Arthur J. Balfour for Great Britain. and Prince Tokugawa for Japan. He as- sailed the treaty as an alliance" and predicted it would do more harm than good.

There was considerable talk among members in the lobbies. most of the Republicans taking the position thae it would be best to proceed with the bill as drafted by Republicans on the ways and means committee, but mem bers of the committee were reluctant to express their views.
