So a proposed constitutional amend

Open Hearing Granted
An open hearing was granted in
the afternoon on senate bill 81, an
act to encourage the reclamation of
arid lands by providing for the guar
arty by the state of the payment of
interest and principal on irrigation
district bonds. creating a bond guar
antee board and prescribing its pow
ers and duties and providing for a
state reclamation fund, a bond re-
demption fund and the method of
handling and disbursing such a fund.
Attorney p. H. Hayes was give 10
| minutes in which to address the COM
| mite of the whole. Mr.. Hayes said
that he had been opposed to senate
bill SO of the last session of the
legislature which was also designed
to encourage reclamation. But that
provided for the lending OF the states
credit. the actual incurring of a
bonded indebtedness by the state.
The present bill, however. bore no
relation to that in that 1t proposed
| for the outlay not dollar by the
state. The funds were to be derived
from the sale of the irrigation dis
trict bonds so that there was abso-
lutely no risk that the state would
| Incur any obligation.
Capt. ]. w. Crenshaw opposed the
bill on the same ground. he said. that
he would oppose the going on a note
for an individual. The plan. he said

obligated to the payment of the dis

ing different in senate bill 81 from

No further action was taken on this
bill and then the committee began

,SHlCAGO, March 9.--Charges Of
hlduen power in railroad labor or
sanlzauons and counter charges Of
influencing public opinion by propa :
sallua, enlivened a days presenta-
tlon or statistics by Eastern rail-
roaus IN the wage hearings now in
pro~ress fefore the federal raiIroa5 =
labor board. ''- -
John q. Walber appearing for the
eastern roads, offered a mass Of
uata In support of the roads re-
quests Tor lower wages for shou
crafts employees, asking q graduated
scale within limits to be fixed bv the
board, the carriers to pay wages
prevailing in each locality for shop
laoor. Mentioning the standard
country scale asked by B. M. Jewell,
mead OF the shop unions, Mr.. Walber
remarked that agreements could
nave been reached on several roads.
~ the men had been free to express
their Wishes"
Mr.. Jewell Immediately took up
the challenge, asking Mr.. Walber to
name any instance in local negotia-
tlons where the men were not free
to act.
TO do so would endanger the
union representative, Mr.. Walber re-
pied, 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"
Mr.. Waiber aided. where they not
only threatened to throw him out
but to have a lynching bee."
Further attempts by Mr.. Jewell TO
draw specific instances of inability
to come to local agreement only
brought heated assertions but the
railroad representative said that
union leaders could ''camouflage
their power any way they wanted
to-" but that 1t was felt in union
locals just the same.
President Jewell threw back the
charge that the Association Of Rail-
way Executives also welded a power
to lower wages simultaneously and
to influence the public with appeals
for lower wages, giving savings
which the roads promised should be
translated into lower freight and
passenger rates. Mr.. WILDER then
spent Is minutes carefully explain
ing that the railroads association
did not act concertedly.
J. A. Franklin, president Of the
boiler makers, then jumped into the
discussion.
"But you create public sentiment
by your propaganda from the rail-
way association" he declared.
II wouldn't insult the public by
admitting that it was necessary to
put thoughts into their heads" an
swered Mr.. Wilher. "As for propa-
ganda, you can beat the railways
seven ways from Sunday on spread
ing propaganda"
Both Mr.. Walber and ]. W. Hig-
gins. representing the western roads,
denied there was an conclusion in
presenting the requests for lower
wages by the eastern and western
roads, the argument continuing un-
til Vice Chairman Hooper stopped
the dispute by adjourning the ses-
sion.
The Southeastern roads viii put
representatives on the stand tomor-
row to present their please for wage
reductions.

During the latter part Of July, Mrs.
Obenchain testified, she went riding
on several occasions with Burch. In
answer to the question whether she
had ever taken him to Beverly Glen,
where Kennedy was later slain. or
had ever suggested the glen to him,
she answered "No."
When she talked to Kennedy about
Burch, she testified that he refused
to believe there was any one by the
name Of Burch, being under the i'm
preston that she was trying to hide
the fact from him that her former
husband, Ralph Obenchain, was In
Los Angeles. She testified she told
Kennedy such was not the case but
that Burch really was here and stop
ping in the hotel across the street
from Kennedy's office. When she
urged Kennedy to meet Burch at her
hotel, she testified. he suggested that
she first 60 across the street To
Burch's room in the hotel and wave
her handkerchief from his window
and he would then meet her at the
hotel entrance and go with her tc
meet Burch. She testified that she
went across to the hotel, obtained the

In they came to a road that led to
Beverly Glen, where Kennedy's cot
tage was located.
"He asked me IL / would like to
run up the Glen little way. AS we
came to his cottage, he recalled the
fact that / had hidden a lucky penny
under a rock near the house and
said: Let's look for it, / assented
but II was then quite dark When
we got up the stairs leading 10 the
cottage / was unable to locate the
exact rock. Bolton said he would
return to the car for matches, but l
told him no, / was afraid to be lett
alone. oh, Til talk to you all the
way going down. he said"
Mrs. Obenchain's voice broke here
and tears came to her eyes. She hur-
riedly wiped them away with her
handkerchief ard continued:
"Belton started down the steps,
| talking to me as he went. 1t was
very dark. l then heard a voice
not Belton's. Then a shot. | tried
| to scream. Bolton, what are you
doing? Belton, please speak to me-

| shaking so l couldn't. Then l heard
him cry, Goodnight, Mazzlyn.' He
had no more than said the last word
when another shot was fired. Then
1 heard something move beside me
where / stood at the top of the steps.
l turned and saw two men running
through the brush"
She then started down the steps,
she said. and when she came to Ken
nedy's body she called:
Bolton, darling, please speak to
me-"
No Agreement with Burch
Il touched Belton's hand and 1t was
so limp / knew he was seriously
hurt" she stated. She then testified
that she ran out to the roadway and
stopped an approaching automobile,
later learning that the driver was
George Deering, who had been called
as witness by the prosecution. She
told of returning to Kennedy's body
with Mr.. Deering and Deering telling
her that Kennedy was dead.
Her counsel then asked her II she
loved Kennedy and whether he loved
her. She replied: Il did love Bel
ton and / believe he loved me-"
did you have any agreement witt
Burch by which you were to bring
about Kennedy's death?"
Certainly not" was her answer.

tion. Attorneys for the prosecution
