To Pay Wife
500 a Month For
Life For Husband

San Francisco, Aug. 22.-What
seemed yesterday to be solution
of the eternal triangle for Mr.. and
Mrs. Rodney Kendrick and Mrs,
Edith Huntington Spreckels Wake
field Of San Francisco and Sausali-
to today did not seem quite so
likely to work out.
Mrs. Wakefield, who was the
first wife of the late Jack Spreck-
els, son of John D. Spreckels, Sr.,
Pacific coast capitalist, according
to her published admission made
an offer of "$100 a month for the
rest of her life" to Mrs. Kendrick
If she would divorce Kendrick, a
artist, so that Mrs.
Wakefield could marry him. That
is, as soon as Mrs. Wakefield her
self secured divorce.
The offer yesterday, it was un-
derstood, probably would be ac-
cepted, but early today the artist g
wife intimated she might take
some legal action other than di-
vorce, and that at any rate she
would consult an attorney before
doing anything.
According to the versions of the
unusual case which all of the per-
sons involved give, Mr.. and Mrs.
Kendrick had separated. Mrs.
Kendrick is i'll and has spent
much of her time in sanitariums
here. Mrs. Wakefield and Kend-
rick fell in love with each other,
and finally agreed they would
marry If they could get their free
dom and that Mrs. Kendrick and
her baby could live with them If
she wished, or be taken care of. T"
Mrs. Rodney Kendrick, sr.,
mother of the artist, sided with
her son.
Mrs. Rodman Pell, the artist g
sister, expressed a similar view.
Mrs. Wakefield is SO, Kend-
rick is 32 and his wife is "a.
Mrs. Wakefield has three children,
the Oldest of whom is 10. Spreck-
els was their father. Mrs. Wake
field was bequeathed $4,000 in
Jack" Spreckels' Will.

B. Flynn of Anlauf, Douglas

highway department for protec-
tion from the speeders. who, he

motorists have already killed one

wants protection. he explains. is
not a decided road but a road

OF automobile drivers to IL or Is

PARTY PLATFORMS
BEING DRAFT TED
IN BUCKEYE STATE

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. "a (By
Associated Press. )-Plans for the
coming political campaign in Ohio
in which democrats seek to change
the makeup of the solidly repub-
Iican state republican administra-
tion and congressional delegation
and return to the upper house OF
congress Senator Atlee Pomerene,
were being made here today. Re-
publicans also held their state
convention at which ratification
of platforms and selection OF a
chairman of the republican execu-
tive committee was the main busi-
ness. 1t appeared that neither
party faced fight of consequence
over platforms.
Rumors that attempts would be
made by certain democrats to in
sert in their platform plank
providing for jury trial for all
violations of state laws-said to
be aimed at prohibition enforce
ment-were belittled by demo-
cratic leaders. 1t was presumed
that 1920 national platform sup
porting the league of nations Will
be reindorsed.
The reported announcement
from State Senator John F. Burke
of EIyria and his colleague, Geo
F. Bender of Cleveland, that they
would seek to insert progressive
ulanksp in the republican plat
form, apparently was receiving
only minor consideration In the
republican camp.

washington, Aug. 22-After an
hours discussion the tariff ad-
ministration bill was sent to con-
ference today by the house.
Sneaker Gillette named five mem
bers of the ways and means com
mittee as the house managers,
Chairman Fordney and Repre-
sentatives Green of Iowa, Long
worth of Ohio, republicans, and
Garner of Texas and Collier of Mis-
sissippi, democrats.
These managers, with an equal
number from the senate, will be
faced with the task of composing
2436 differences between the
house and senate, the reprint OF
the bill showing that the senate
made that number of amendments
to the original house measure.
This was 349 more changes than
were made by the senate finance
committee before it reported the
bill.
Much of the debate centered
around the question of when the
bill would come out of conference.
Representatives Garner and Pou
of North Carolina and other dem
ocrats predicted it would not be
ready for final action until aftel
the November elections, charging
that the republicans did not want
to go before their constituents
facing a defense of it.
Representative Mondell of Wy,

that necessarily there would have
to be some modiIlcations in con
ference, he expressed the hope
that the bill would be reported

SUN COOPERATES
IN EFFORTS TO
REUN|TE CHINA

Peking, Aug. 22.-(B (By Associ-
ated Press. )-Removal of another
obstacle to. the re-unification OF
China was noted today by politi-
cal observers here. DR.. Sun Yat
Sen, head of the erstwhile Canton
government, is on record as ready
to advise and aid Lii Yuan Hung,
president of the Chinese republic,
in his program for pacifying and
uniting the nation. Sun has WI
Pei Fu's endorsement.
DR.. Suns action, announced In
cordial letter he sent from
Shanghai yesterday by the ennis
saries whom Lii had sent to urge
Suns cooperation in the task OF
rehabilitating their common coun-
try, was in no sense capitula-
ton, however. Prior to the dis
patch of the letter, General WI
Pei Flu, strong man of north Chi
ma. and the leader whose influ-
ence is credited in many quarters
with having restored Ii Yuan
Hung to the presidency, whence
he was ousted by the miltiaristic
coup of 1917, telegraphed DR.. Sun
expressing unqualified endorse
ment of the southern leaders poll
cies.
These policies include convoca-
tion and functioning of parl1a-
ment free from all outside influ-
ences; self government for the
provinces as a successor OF the
military governorship system now
prevailing, and the conversion oil
the independent armies OF these
provincial governors into labor
battalions. Except the last named
these policies coincide rather
closely with policses advocated by
Lii and Wu, and both of these have
urged disbandment of the proyin-
cial armies.
Apparently one thing remains
needed to complete cooperation OF
these three powerful leaders. This
is Suns presence in Peking,
whittier Ii already has invited
him and whittier Sun recently In
timated he might go when condi-
tions warranted.

ALLIES PERMIT
CHINA TO CONTROL
CHINESE EASTERN

Toxic, Aug. 22.-(By Associ-
ated Press. 1T has been learned
by the Associated Press that the
proposal of the United States re-
garding the allied interest in the
Chinese Eastern railway provides
for the withdrawal OF the interna-
tional board OF control under the
agreement reached in January.
1919.
The American plan also pro-
poses international cooperation In
solving future problems of the
road should China seek assistance
after Japan has completed her
evacuation of Siberia.
Japan finally approved the
American proposal on August H..
A new angle was given the
problem of the Chinese Eastern
railway last week when r. Joffe,
soviet envoy from Moscow arrived
at Peking to open negotiations
with the Chinese government for
the resumption of trade relations
between the two countries and to
seek recognition of Russia s inter
est in the Chinese Eastern.
The road has been the source OF
considerable trouble and inyestiga-
tion in recent years. Japan has
been accused Of attempting to
control 1t and an inquiry into con-
ditions along its line by an inter-
commission resulted in
the production Of evidence which
the commission declared war
ranted this charge against Toxic.

ALLIES ASKED
WHAT TODO
IN EX|GENCY
Premiers Informed That
Policy of Drifting is to
Be Ended and Collapse
Is AT Hand.

Vienna, Aug. (By Associ-
ated Press)7--Chancellor zipel's
sudden visit to Prague, Berlin
and Rome are said in well in
formed circles here to mean the
determination Of the Austrian
government to force events and
bring the country's situation to a
precipitate head rather than con-
tinue in drifting policy.
1t is understood the chancellor
will flatly inform the premiers
OF these three countries that
collapse is near at hand. He will
point out the danger Of this even
tuality and ask the premiers
what action they are prepared to
undertake when the crash comes:
whether they will interfere II so
how.
To Convoke Assembly
Upon Chancellor Zipel's return
to Vienna, he is expected to con-
woke the national assembly and
lay the whole situation before II.
II the assembly agrees with him
that there Is no solution for the
present crisis from within, he Is
expected to demand the assem-
bly's approval to appeal to the
league Of nations for the union OF
Austria with Germany or for the
voluntary partition Of the coun-
try. Should this program be car
ried out. II is believed In the best
informed foreign quarters here
that most serious situation
would result, as most all OF the
openly discussed plans for parti-
tion have failed to find an answer
to the question of what would be-
come OF Vienna.
Tyrol Expected to Act
Precipitate action, regardless
of the central government, by one
or more of the Austrian provinces
In the event of a collapse is not
unexpected, and the Tyrol is re-
garded as a danger spot in this
connection. Should accession
movement develop, the govern
ment would be utterly powerless
to use force and It Is believed
Chancellor Zipel also will ask
either Czecho-Slovakla Germany
or Italy IL they are prepared to
do SO. Count Czernin today OPEN
ly advocated the immediate con-
summation Of union with Italy
both economic and political.

who robbed and looted the homes
of several families and the pres
ence Of Mexican troops on guard.

laws were driven off. The reports
received here say that the Mexican
soldiers, with the exception Of ten
who will remain on guard, have
