FARM SCHEDULE
IS SUBJECT Of
SENATE ATTACK
Asserts Bill Is Attempt to
Make Raid on Consumers;
Hopes For Reduction

WASHINGTON, June 27-The Agri
cultural schedule in Tie administra-
ton tariff bill was attacked today in
the senate by Senator Walsh of Mass
achussetts, a Democratic member OF
the finance committee and defended
by Chairman McCumbe' of that COM
I1ittee, and Senator GOoding, Repub-
lican, Idaho, chairman of the Repub-
lican agricultural tariff bloc. The de-
bate continued for several hours, with
a result that none OF the committee
amendments in the schedule was voted
upon.
The paragraph dealing with duties
on cattle and fresh beef and veal fin
ally came under consideration, and
without a. record vote, amendments
by Senator Walsh of Massachusetts
TO reduce the committee rates were
rejected He sought to substitute
$40 cents a pound for 11a cent a
pound on live cattle weighing less
than 1850 pounds; 1 Ito cents a
pound for the two cents a pound on
such cattle weighing more than 1,05O
pounds, and two cents pound for
fresh beef and veal in place of the
committee rate of 31s cents.
Assertingl that the bill was "an at
tempt to make a raid on the consum-
ers of the country such as never be-
fore has been dreamed" Senator
Walsh declared that if effective the
duties proposed on meats, cereals, po-
tatoes and apples alone would in
crease to the consumers of $1,316,0
600 annually, or about SS1 for the av-
erage family of six. He asserted also
that rates were lowered on agricul-
tural products of the Democratic
states of the south and said it was
/ Uncomfortable that a political party
would carry partianship to such an
extent"
0natcr Walsh said he did not know
of any schedule in the bill that was
more =" indefensible" than the agri
cultural; that would result in "such
serious consequences" to the Ameri-
can people, and to the economic sit
uation in this country, and he ex-

MORE LETTERS
To MADALYNNE
READ I 0 JURY
Another Surprise Witness Is
introduced by State; Was
Also Jail Inmate

LOS ANGELES, June 81. - More
love letters OF Paul Roman, convict,
to Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain, on
murder Of ]. Belton Kennedy, were
read to the jfry today.
Roman, who is undergoing cross
examination, and who had previously
testified that Mrs Obenchain had
sought to have him give false testi-
mony in her behalf, admitted writing
thea letters. Those in evidence today
were written about the time of Mrs.
Obenchain's first trial, in which the
jury disagreed.
In one letter he wrote: Heart of
my heart, be brave. l am with you
always, consequently no harm can
befall you"
Roman was an inmate of the coun-
ty Jail with Mrs. Obenchain and he
is now serving a sentence for felony.
He was called as a surprise" wit
ness by the prosecution.
There were several references to
Kennedy in the letters, one of them
being:
Perhaps it was meant he should
step aside for me-" while another
read, you loved him and he merely
played with you"
The letters covered a period from
January to May last.
Letters written by Roman during
April and May contained expressions
of affection, similar to those in mis-
sives which had gone before.
Whatever you do, trust me to be
truthful to you," he wrote in May
He was in the county Jail here then.
Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain said OF
Arthur c. Burch:
He proved himself in time of
need" according to testimony intro
duced in her trial late today. Burch
is charged jointly with her and is
awaiting his third trial.
This testimony was given by Mrs.
Irene Smith, second surprise" wit
ness, called by the prosecution.
Mrs. Smith was a prisoner in the
county Jail with Mrs. Obenchain from
October IL to December 20, last, and
is now on probation after pleading
guilty to forgery charge.
Mrs. Smith said she and Mrs
Obenchain weer talking one day in
the women's department of the Jail
about what friends had done for
them.
Il said l had a friend who would
do almost anything for me- the wit
ness declared Mrs. Obenchain said
she had been very lucky that way
too. She said she had been very
fortunate in having Mr.. Obencham
and Arthur Burch to help her She
said Burch would do more for her
possibly than Mr.. Obenchain and had
proved himself in time of need" AT
the time of this conversation Ralph

vorced husband, was one of her at
torneys.

Battle Was Fought

CALEXICO, June 27.-Twenty-one
men have been killed in and around
Mexicalh Lower California, in the
last two weeks, according to- official
reports in Calexico, just across the
international line. This compilation
was made today following the discov-
cry early this morning of eight
dead Mexicans, two and a half miles
east of Calexico, one of the bodies
being in an irrigation ditch on the
American side of the boundary.
Several of the dead are said to be
agitators and revolutionists executed
by Mexican army officials in Lower
California. After eight bodies were
found this morning, American ranch
ers living close to the line reported
continual firing in the vicinity
throughout the night.
American authorities concerned
themselves today only with a body
found in the irrigation ditch on the
American side of the line, this being
the first of the eight discovered
Marks on the banks of the ditch led
to the belief the body had been
dragged from the Mexican side OF
the river and thrown into the water
All efforts to identify the dead man
failed, but when the other seven
bodies were found on the Mexican
side and reports of the American
ranchers were received, the authori
