SACRAMENTO, Calf, Aug. "a.
Bise, farmer, was killed by dogs set
on him by their mistress, Mrs. Mabel
Balardi, according to an alleged con
fession made by the woman to Clifford
Russell, deputy district attorney, just
before noon today.
"I'H tell the truth said the woman
breaking down under severe grilling,
but my dogs must be protected, for
they protected me. F"
Bise s body, chewed to death by dogs,
was found in his bed at his ranch near
here yesterday. Mrs. Balardi and her
husband, Louis, were Immediately
taken into custody.
An argument with Bise, the woman
was quoted as saying, following which
she claimed he struck her with a club,
was responsible for the attack by the
dogs.
The woman said she cried for help,
calling, "Louie -
That is her husband s name. 1t also
is the name of the largest of their dogs.
Twenty dogs answered her call, ac-
cording to the alleged confession, led
by "Louie.' They sprang at Bise s
neck, bore him to the ground and
killed him.
With difficulty, the woman says, she
and her husband called off the pack
and Bise, unconscious, was picked up
and carried to his cabin.
The Balardi IS placed Bise on his bed,
removed his clothing and applied salt
water to his wounds in an attempt to
revive him.
Unsuccessful in this, they decided to
come to Sacramento for a doctor.
Their automobile would not start and
they returned to Bise s cabin. 1t was
then they decided he was dead.
Frightened at this they left Bise un-
til Tuesday morning when Balardi told
Constable Davis he had found Bise dead
at his home.
81 would have told sooner, but
wanted to protect the dogs said Mrs.
Balardi. "They protected me and l
was afraid they would be killed. -
She exhibited bruises on her arm and
leg to bear out her statement of the
accident by Bise.
Balardi remained unshaken through IL
severe grilling by Russell and Deputy
Sheriffs Bryant and Cam, denying
the story.
In the meantime, deputies have gone
to the Bise house to search for the
mans cellar which Mrs. Balardi
charged in her story, that he had a still
md liquor there. Request for an order
20 kill the 90 Balardi dogs has been
made to the county humane society by
Sheriff Ellis Jones.
Deputy District Attorney Russell has
not yet decided what charges he can
bring against the Balardis.

LONDON, Aug. 9.-England, Italy
and Belgium, hopelessly at odds with
Premier Poincare S program of drastic
action toward Germany, hoped today
to break the deadlock of the London
allied conference by Il compromise
granting the former enemy nation a
snort moratorium.
1t was understood that majority of
allied finance ministers and experts
who have been comforting two days on
Frances plan for dealing with Ger
many, have agreed with Lloyd George
that the plan would be productive of
the desired revenue, but would kill
Germany economically.
The finance ministers met again to-
day and drew up report which is eX-
pected to be presented soon to the pre-
miers.
Rejection of the French proposals
which include setting up of customs
barrier on the eastern border of the
occupied area, control of forest and
mines and control of German indus
tries, may lead to rupture between
France and the other allies, it was free
