Cleveland, July 12.—How every
detail In the stage setting of the
murder scene In the Kaber home had
been carefully planned days In ad
vance, was decribed Monday by the
last witnesses called by the state.
With a series of trip hammer blows
aimed at clinching the conspiracy
_charge against Mrs. Eva Catherine
Kaber, the state cloeed Its case Mon
day nopn. Tuesday the defense will
tinllmber its battery, proposing to in
troduce alienists who will testify that
Mrs. Kaber has been mentally Irre
sponsible since birth. The insanity
plea is to be the bulwark of the de
fence's position.
"Burghtrs” Deotsree Defense.
In their effort to make it appear
that burglars had perpetrated the at
tack, a drawer in the buffet had been
deliberately chlsled open in the Ha
ber home, silverware had been care
lessly strewn about and the bed
clothing in the chambers upstairs,
had been disarrange^ - according io
the witnesses. To assure herself that
the plans lor the cold-blooded as
sassination would not miscarry, Mrs.
Kaber had ordered Frank Utterback.
Mr. Kaber's male nurse, to sleep In
an attic bedroom on the fateful night,
according to the state.
Marian McArdle, the winsome
daughter of Mrs. Kaber, and Mrs.
Mary Brickel, her mother, co-defend
ants in the charge of murder in the
first degree, were seriously incrimin
ated in the alleged conspiracy
by Monday’s testimony.
Utterback’s Startling Story.
Utterback corroborated statements
already made by three defendant wlt
nesMa by the state that Daniel Ka
ber,* he wealthy Lakewood publisher,
accused his wife of the attack in his
dying breath. Utterback was tpe first
person to reach the side of the mor
tally wounded man.
"I was sleeping in the bedroom up
stairs,” narrated Utterback, a sharp
featured man of middle age.
“Mrs. Kaber had told me she was
going to visit her sister for a few
days. She asked me to sleep in the
attic. I had gone to bed about 10
o’clock. In the middle of the night
I heard Mr, Kaber shriek:
"A Man With a Cap7” *
"Utterback! Utterback! Come
quick! Murder! I ran downstairs and
found him in the middle of the floor
— of his bedroom. He was covered with
blood. I asked him who did it He
said:
“A man with a cap! My God, Mrs.
Kaber had it done!”
Neither Marian nor her grandmoth

of the murder, went in to see Mr.
Kaber, following the brutal assault,

Universal Bervlce.
■Washington, July 12.—President
Harding will appear personally be
fore the Senate Tuesday to urge his
views regarding the legislative pro
gram.
This was indicated in the White
House Monday after a conference be
tween the president and Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, republican floor
leader.
The president will express the view
that the Senate should defer action
on the McCumber soldier bonus bill,
It is understood. The president is
expected to cite substantially the
same reasons given recently by Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon for
postponement of bonus legislation.
Secretatry Mellon stated payment of
a bonus at this time would place too
heavy a load on the government.
Since soldier bonus legislation orig
inated in the Senate, the president
will confine his remarks exclusively
to that body and will attempt "to dis
close the dangers of such legislation
at this time.”
i At his recent conference with lead
ers of the Senate at the capltol, the
president expressed himself infor
mally on the subject, stating he
wished the Senate would defer action
on the McCumber bill.

St. Paul. Minn., July 12.—Miss

dropped 15,200 feet from an airplane
at Curtis flying field, near here late

New York, July 12.—Another
pretty romance shattered because a

husband’s condition or the manner In
which he had been assailed as he lay
bedjfclden In his chamber.
Woman’s Apparel Strewn About.
The mattresses had been overturned
[In Marian’s room, the bureau drawers
removed and women's apparel strewn
about the room, when Detective Al
bert Soukup, of the Cleveland police
reached the house that night, the lat
ter testified. All of the doors of the
heuse were open, he said, and there
were no ’’Jimmy" marks Indicating
(hat fce alleged burglars had beep
obliged to force entry.
There was a suggestion of grim
humor 4n Marian's remark when the
police arrived on the scene that night,
as qaoted by Soukup. It created •
stir in the crowded courtroom,
“Almost Killing Paps.”
"I found the drawer In the buffet
jlmnfled open and silverware lying
all around,” said Soukup. "Marian
said:
‘My God, they stole the silverware
—besides almost killing papa!’ She
did not seem much excited. When wb
went upstairs to her bedroom she
souted, ‘My God, the burglars got
In here, tool”’
The state contends that she had
keen in her bedroom all the time and
would have been aware of It before
that If burglars actually had en
tered hep room.
Withdraws Poison Charge.
In closing the state’s case. Assist
ant Prosecutor James Cassidy for
mally withdrew the poison charge In
the Indictment of Mrs. Kaber, as
predicted. Daniel Kaber died as the
result of 24 stab wounds In the ab
domen, not from the administering
of arsenic poisoning. But the state
drew that Indictment and Introduced
evidence that Mrs. Kaber for two
months previous to his death, had
secretly poisoned her husband In an
effort to prove premeditation to the
Jurors.
Mrs. Kaber! remains In the same
stolid position during the proceedings
that has characterized her attitude
since the first day of the trial. With
her face partially covered by a hand
kerchief in her right hand she sits
with bowed head, unmoved through
out the ordeal. *
"Poison Queen” Comes In.
In cross-examining Mrs, Emma
Colavlto, the Italian "poison queen,”
Attorney William Corrigan, of coun
sel for the defense, sought to lay
the foundation for the insanity plea
by stressing Mrs. Saber's fascina
tion of the "supernatural powers” of
the woman. The defense will en
deavor to prove that Mrs. Kaber’s al
leged request that Mrs. Colavito in
voke her heralded powers of witch
craft to do away with her husband,
is In itself evidence of a deranged
mind.

COUPLE LOST IN AIR
OVER CITY OF CHICAGO
Universal Service.
Chicago. July 12.—William Evans,
Minneapolis real estate man, and his
wife were lost in the air above Chica

They flew to Chicago to attend a
convention of realty dealers and had
announced in advance that they would
land in Grant Park,
A committee of real estate men and
two bondsmen went to meet them
and make their bond when they were
arrested for landing there.
But Mr. Evans refused to land on
account of tents that had been left
after the Fourth of July celebration.
He circled the park several times and
flew back over the city.
Two other planes were sent up to
direct them to another field but the
pilot evidently could not understand
the signals for the three planes ap
peared to be chasing each other all
over the city.
At midnight an effort was made to
communicate with suburban landing

“Partnership” with Private
Owners—Small, Love, Frey
To “Run” U. S. Fleet—
Harding for Lasker’s Plan.
Washington, July 12.—The United
States shipping board through Its
chairman, A. D. Lasker, Monday an
nounced the formation of a "part
nership” with the private ship own
ers and operators of America for the
upbuilding of the American merchant
marine. Private owners will furnish
master minds of the shipping busi
ness to establish the fleet on the
seven seas
As a starter, the private shipping
business canvassed their own ranks
and selected the three men to act
as operators of the government
owned fleet at a total salary of $95.
000 a year.
Smull Unanimous Choioa.
They are:
J. Barston Smull, of New York,
vice president of J. H. Winches
ter & Company, the largest ship
brokerage company in America,
who Was the unanimous choice of
private owners and operators.
William J. Ipve. of New York,
assistant American manager for
Furness, Withy & Company, Ldt..
one of the largest shipping firms
of Great Britain.
A. J. Frey, of Los Angeles and
San Francisco, who managed the
operation for the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company at the time
that company had the largest
fleet of steamships on the Pacific
ocean.
Will Be Vice Presidents.
These ship operators will be In
stalled as vice presidents of the Em
ergency Fleet Corporation which Is
being revived under the Lasker plan
for bringing the fleet to a state of ef
ficiency, that will make Its sale pos
sible on the day world-wide economic
conditions are ready. Chairman Las
ker will sit as chairman with the
board of operations In deciding all
Questions of policy.
This plan was submitted to Presi
dent Harding In the White House
Monday afternoon by Mr. Lasker and
two of the operators, Messrs Smull
and Love. The president, like the
shipping board Itself, gave his ap
proval and promised his support for
any legislation necessary to make
complete the revival of the fleet cor
poration.
As I. C. C. Does Toward Roads.
From now on the shipping board
will function exactly as the Interstate
Commerce commission does toward
railroads, it was explained. The Em
ergency Fleet Corporation with the
shipping board officers as Its execu
tives will deal exclusively with the
operations of ships, as originally in
tended. There will be five vice presi
dents—the three operators, the gen
eral counsel, Elmer Schleslnger, and
one to be named.
The fifth vice president will be
charged ^with full responsibility for
the sale of ships salvage. The settle
ment of the $300,000,000 worth of
claims outstanding against the board
will fall within the jurisdiction of
the fourth vice president, who Is the
general counsel of the shipping
hnarrl
“No Alibi if We Fail.!'
"But It la on the operation that the
merchant marine la to stand or fall,"
said Mr. Lasker. "Their losses may
be continuing and we* will never be In
a position to carry out the ad
ministration policy of getting these
ships Into the hands of private op
erators unless we get them under
operation in an efficient manner.
“New that we have men like Smull,
Love and Frey for the operation of
the ships, we will have no alibi If we
fail," he added. "Those are names
which mean something in the ship
ping world. Thefr names to the ship
per are like Babe Ruth's In the base
ball world and Caruso’s In the mu
sical world. Furthermore, under our
partnership with the private owners,
we ha've the right to call upon key
men with any companies for our
service. It means we are going to
have a world beating organisation."
Smull's Part Moat Important.
Skim milk Is. said to be excellent
for washing floor tiles, giving them
a much better appearance than
soapy water does. But how Is the
average citlaen going to afford such
a ‘‘luxury?”
Now the Ku Klux Klan and the
nonpartisan league are battling in
South Dakota. Seems that Coyote
state can't help but keep before the
public whether it be a good or bad
publicity.

Brands Order Dishonest, Un- {
warranted — “Republicans,
Can’t Fool Soldiers,” Harri
son's Warning.
Chicago, July 12,—President
Harding's action In asking con
gress to postpone passage of the
bill providing a bonus for ex
service men was attaekod Monday
by American Legion departmen
tal commanders of six states.
The Legion chiefs of Illinois,
Michigan, Nebraska, Kansas,
Iowa and Tsnnsssse, who ara in
sassion hare, sant tha following
telegram to the president:
“Ex-service men and woman of
tha states we represent feel deep
ly your attitude and opposition
to tha bill for adjusted compen
sation for the service rendered by
them in the days of 1917 and 1918
when they offered all they had to
preserve for you and all othar
Americans our heritage. Wa
urge you to seriously reconsider
your position and to carry out tha
policy of fair play promised by
America when she called upon
her sons and daughters to enter
the great struggls.”
■Washington, July 12.—’Plans of Sec
’ retary of the, Treasury Mellon and the
administration to delay soldier bo
nus legislation were vigorously de
nounced by the legislative committee
of the American Legion in a state
ment issued Monday night.
"The 11th hour order from one end
of Pennsylvania avenue to the other
is Intellectually dishonest, economi
cally unwarranted, and politically lu
dicrous,” the statement declared.
Legion Bound to Protest.
The American Legion officials
have carefully weighed the question
of whether the legion should consent
to the delay without protest, the
statement said.
"The American' Legion can do no
such thing," It continued. “There is
nowhere in the l^eilon statement any
reasonable Justification for the theory
that a bill, , not designed to become
financially operative until July 1, 1922,
would ruin the country if passed now
but be safe and sound if passed in
November or December. It makes
not a scintilla of difference, so far
as the United States treasury is con
cerned, whether the bill Is passed in
July or December of this year. Any
difference that might be argued
would be in psycho-analytics and po
litical jockeying with which ex-serv
ice men are not at all interested.
Ex-Yanks Not Asleep.
“Against Secretary Mellon’s ex
cathedra pronouncement that the
bill’s enactment would cripple and ;
impair If not altogether ruin the
treasury, there stand reports on the
bill from both the House ways and
means and the Senate finance com
mittees, the membership of which
committees, the American Legion be
lieves, is fully as capable of declar
ing the bill economically feasible as
any one man is capable of declaring to
the contrary.
“Ex-service men did not fall to ob
serve. too, news dispatches in the
very same editions which carried tha
secretary's statejnent against the ad
justed compensation bill to the efTeet
that the government was to be called
upon to loan the railroads of the
country^ 1500,000,000. As a matter of
fact, the Interest alone due. this gov
ernment on its loans to the allies
would more than finance the adjusted
compensation bill if enacted, for the
first five years of its operation, or
until July 1, 1927. Considering the
fact that all ef the allied govern
ments havo paid their soldiers and
sailors adjusted compensation, is it
unreasonable for the ex-service men
of the country to call attention to
this fact?
Charge Play to Kill Bill.
"Secretary Mellon's diatribe against
the adjusted compensation bill la
nothing more than a rehash of tha
organizations long ago interposed by
his predecessor in office, former Sec
retary of the Treasury Houston.
Against the republican majority
members of the Senate finance com
mittee which had reported the bill
favorably and the republican major
ity In the Senate which had voted to
make the bill Unfinished business, tha
republican secretary of the treasury
hurls the leftover thunder of his
democratic predecessor In office.
Truly an amusing political spectacle.
"The proposed postponement Is
merely a subterfuge, a play for time,
through which its enemies hope ulti
mately to destroy the measure. Fur
ther delay by congress in meeting
this just obligation will only ag
gravate a situation which is already
deplorable enough.”
Harrison’s Attack "Hot Shot."
Alleged Interference by President
Harding in the affairs of the Senate
was assailed by Senator Harrison,
democrat, of Mississippi, in a speech
In the Senate Monday. Referring to
the president's move to delay tho
soldier bonus legislation, he charged
that It was In direct violation of his
campaign pledges to refrain from
meddling with the legislative func
tions of the government.
Woman continues to forge ahead.
The president of the Northern Bap
tist convention Is a woman, and Lon
don now numbers among Its ambas
sadors Lady Surma, who. It is said,
will be the first president of modern
Assyria, a territory of 80,000 square
miles in Mesopotamia which has
been alloted by Great Britain to the
Assyrian people. Gentlemen, the la

seat. Brewster county authorities. It
is said, Insist ths murder was com
