LEWIS SUSPECT
A[|b| FAILS
HIM AGAIN
Man, Denying Acquaint-
ance, Is Proven Intimate
Friend of Victim.

Another effort of the chief suspect
held for the staying of Ira Lewis, 10
months ago, to prove an alibi failed
Monday.
81 never knew Ira Lewis" he has
repeated, over and over again, since
his arrest last Friday. Lewis was
found slain in Death VALLEY, near the
intersection of the Fredericksburg and
Babcock roads, on February 3.
Monday witnesses were found who
definitely established the fact that
Lewis and the suspect now held were
intimate friends.
1t was proven conclusively that the
suspect frequently rode with Lewis.
Confronted with this evidence, the sus-
pect still maintained his innocence. He
refused to talk further regarding his
acquaintance with the slain man after
being confronted with the evidence that
he had been an intimate friend of the
slain man.
GAVE GIRL PISTOL.
Evidence against one of the two men
now held in connection with the Lewis
Staying was summarized by Chiefs Il.
o. Miller and Sam Street Monday as
follows:
I Three days after Lewis was slain
he gave a woman a revolver which
he said, was the lone that ended Ira
Lewis"
. This revolver was the same caliber
as the one which actually snuff
fed out the service car drivers life.
z The gun bore rust marks which a
chemist declared probably were
caused by blood, on examination.
n The suspect told his wife four days
after Lewis was found dead that
he had had to "kill chauffeur"
IDENTIFIED BY WOMAN
e On the morning of February 2,
this suspect and acompanion drew
their pay from Camp Bulls and came
to San Antonio. They appeared back
at camp just before dawn on the
morning of February 3, the day
Lewis body was found, explaining
that they had started for camp in a
service car but got ditched." Death
Valley. where the Staying occurred,
was directly on their road back to
Camp Bulls.
e The suspect denied knowing the
" woman who first told police the
story of the gun that killed Lewis.
This girl turned the revolver over to
police. 1t has been proven that the
suspect knew this woman intimately,
despite his denial. ..s.. -

Weeks Financial
Markets Featured
BY Sharp Upturn

New York, June 2S.-(AP)-
Speculative interest in this weeks
financial markets was divided be-
tween the sharp upturn in stock
prices. after an early period of ir-
regularity, and the weakness of the
French, Belgian and Italian ex-
changes, which sank to new low lev
els for the year. Commodity prices
also pointed upward, wheat advanc-
ing about seven cents a bushel and
cotton futures rising $1.50 to $50
q bale.
The sudden demand for stocks, in
the face of stiff call money rates,
and the establishment of a new high
record price in the sale of a stock
exchange membership were inter-
preted in some quarters as an indi-
cation of good business this fall. 1t
also was apparent to many traders
that the relatively low yields obtain
able on most high grade bonds at
current prices had diverted July In
vestment funds to the stock market.
Weakness of French francs was
attributed to the fear Of imitation
through another increase in author
lied note circulation. Adoption of
Finance Minister Caillaux's program
by the chamber of deputies Satur-
day brought about a rally. Scandi-
navian exchanges showed independ-
ent strength, Norwegian and Danish
kroner soaring to new high records
for the year.

Opposes Revision
OF Tariff at Next
Session Congress

Washington. June 2S.-(AP)-Op-
position to tariff revision at the next
session of congress was expressed
today by Chairman Green of the
house ways and means committee.
In q statement discussing the
Brussels meeting of the international
chamber of commerce, he declared
that the proceedings clearly show
that Europe intends to bring every
possible pressure upon the United
States to lower it's tariffs" Replying
to the argument that Europe other
wise would be unable to pay its
debts, he declared there was no sub
stantial foundation for the conten-
ton that such relief was necessary.
and pointed to IAN insistent demand
In this country that the tariff be
raised with respect to certain indus
tries" although there is also a de-
mand here Gin certain quarters" for
downward revision of the tariff.
Balances between two nations,
he asserted. ARE not necessarily set
tied on the basis of the balance OF
trade between them alone, for one
Of the two may have a favorable
balance with a third nation to which
the other. on the contrary, is fndebt-
ed, and settlement can thus be
made among the three"

Livingston, Mont, June 2S.-(AP)
Mother Earth regained her COM
posture today after badly shaking up
last night four states in the northern
half of the continental divide-the
Rocky Mountain range.
The report of a new tremor at
Three Forks. Mont, this forenoon,
however, caused new apprehension
to the population of this section of
Southern Montana.
Idaho. Montana, Washington and
Wyoming felt the oscillations of the
earth last night but central Montana
received the heaviest buffets. Scores
OF cities and towns in central Mon.
tana suffered severe tremors while
their residents, many of them panic
stricken, hastily vacated business
structures and homes.
LandslideS on many mountains
blocked highways and railroads. No
loss of life occurred, according to
meagre reports.
Damage to property based on
scant information is estimated at
approximately 100000. Towns in
the Gallatin valley were the heavi-
est sufferers, damage'estimated there
running to 100000.

LIGHTNING CUTS
CAPERS IN HOMES
NEAR BRUNSWICK

(Special to the Kennebec Journal.)
Brunswick, Me-, June 2S.-Shortly
after 3 o'clock this morning there
was one flash of lightning, one clap
ofsthunder and then the fire whistle
blew, the department being sum-
moned to the residence of Mrs. Mar
shall johnson on the Princes Point
road, five minutes from town. On
the arrival of the firemen they found
that the lightning had split as it de-
scended and struck not only the resi-
dence of Mrs. johnson, but also that
of Ben M. johnson and L. c. Doug
lass. In the latter little Betty Doug
lass was knocked out of chair but
was not seriously injured. The dam
age of the house was slight, and only
slight damage was done at the resi-
dence of Ben Johnson.
At the home of Mrs. johnson the
lightning opened a hole from roof
toNbasement and set the building on
fire, but it was quickly extinguished
with comparatively slight loss, al
though the loss occasioned by the
lightning is considerable. Miss Mad
cline Emily Sullivan, who was in the
house, was rendered unconscious for
about five minutes by the shock, but
THIS evening has apparently fully re-
cokered.

1.-THE time has come to take up the
debt situation with the United States.
A personality, recently come from
America, has even told us that the
time has not been more favorable in
several years; therefore we should
profit thereby and not expose our
selves by an attitude contrasting
with that of our Italian, Belgian
and Czechoslovak friends. to rem
der more bitter a discussion which
will in itself be delicate enough"
The Petit Parisien declares that Mr..
Kellogg. secretary of state. despite
all contradictions, last month ex-
pressed an unequivocal desire to see
US make a decision before the middle
of July. Therefore. it adds, what
ever difficulty may present itself, the
minister of finance must grid him
self for the task and bring to prac-
teal basis the conversations which
heretofore have been almost ex-
clusively academic. Our country
has the greatest interest in not post
poning the discussion longer"

Significant Word
By Miners Official
On Wage Parley

Scranton. Pa, June 28.-(AP)-No
backward step-progress whenever
and wherever possible-was the way
Thomas Kennedy, secretary-treasurer
of the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca. tonight expressed the attitude of
$4,000 anthracite workers toward the
approaching scale negotiations with
the mine owners.
Demands the men will make az the
price for renewal of the present two
year contract on it's expiration August
81 will be formulated at the tri-dis!
trict convention opening here tomor-
row.
Mr.. Kennedy's announcement was
interpreted by observers here as an
allusion to three of the basis issues
which will probably develop during the
coming joint conferences between OPP
orators and men, and which will
therefore undoubtedly come in for rec
ognition in this weeks statement of
terms.
These are: Wages, whether they
are to be raised or cut; the union
check-off, by which the mine auditor
deducts union dues from pay envel-
opes: and, third, the duration Of any
new contract.
Sentiment heard on both sides
on the wage question tonight was
that the miners might ask 10 or is
per cent advance and the operators
a 10 to 20 per cent decrease.
AS to the check off. this was
fought for to the last ditch in 1923
by the miners, only to be abandoned
on appeal Of Governor Pinchot. II
is certain to be revived again. ac-
cording to best information. and fur
Their advices say the operators will
never yield.
A third deadlock Is expected by
some to be reached on the duration
of the contract. The miners are be-
lieved to desire an extended contract
to stabilize conditions, and the oper-
ators are known to oppose signing for
longer than one year.
