Rented Roadster
Latest Clue in
Kennedy Murder
Tire Treads on Car Believed
To Have Been Used by
Bureh Correspond With
Marks in Road.
Los Angeles, Aug. 8. Admissions
made by Arthur C. Burch, retained
here today in custody in connection
with the slaying last Friday of J.
Belton Kennedy, led today to the
discovery of a rented roadster equip
ped with tires of a peculiar tread,
which made an impress that fitted
the marks left in a lane last Fri
day night by a car supposed to
have been driven by the slayer. Of
ficers uncovered evidence tending to
indicate Burch rented a car that
night.
Burch and Madelynne Obenchain.
the young woman held as a material
witness, were returned to their cells
in the county jail today after they
had separately faced interviewers
from the district attorney's office
and after each had, according to the
interviewers, made statements that
failed to correspond with those of
the other.
Burch Taken from Train.
Kennedy was shot on the steps of
his little summer cottage in Beverly
Glen while Mrs. Obenchain. a young
divorced woman, awaited him at the
top of the flight of steps leading
to his door. Burch. was taken from
a train at Las Vegas, Nov., and
returned here in custody atter it nan
been shown that he and Mrs. u Den-
i that he and Mrs. Oben-jMiss
chain were childhood tnenas, coucge
mates and had been in correspond-
ence recently and that Burch had
sat in a hotel room across Broad-
way from Kennedy's office for 10,
days before the slaying, had. been
curred, and hadieft for his home in
Evanston, III., the following morn-
itig '
Today, aided by guarded state
ments from Burch, deputies from the
sheriffs office found that a man giv-
wg tne name oi juucb ." -dress
of an uncle and aunt of Burch,
his only retatives here, had rented
an automobile here from an agency
on the night of the killing.
' Stood in Ambush.
The automobile agency records did
not disclose any rental" to anyone
giving the name of Burch. There
was a rental to a man giving his
name as "J. VV. Jones" and giving an
address that the officers said was
that of an uncle and an aunt of
Burch, his -only relatives here.
A reconstruction of the killing by
officers developed that the man .io
killed Kennedy stood in ambush after
placing his car in an uuu
leadmg to a gravel pit not far from
the Kennedy cottage. Marks of the
tires were found in this road and
elsewhere. Today officers drove the
roadster that had been taken by
"Jones" to the scene of the shooting
and compared the tires with the rni-
urk Ttipv ' rnrresnonded.

J Denies Visit to Rooms.
Mrs. Obenchain denied, according
to the officers, that she had ever
visited Burch's room across the street
from Kennedy's office. A photograph
ot the woman was shown the hotel
proprietor shortly after her detention
and he said she was not te visitor.
Today, after seeing her in person at
the jail, he changed his statement
and identified her positively as the
woman who had frequently visited
Burch's room and whose calls had
been explained by the statement that
she was a-"cousin" and called on
business. I ' ' ,

Mrs. Obenchain was not permitted

Both announced that they had ar

appeared formally to represent or
confer with either.

Fugitive Bank President to
Fight Extradition From
Mexico Detectives on
His Trail.
Chicago, Aug. 8. With the trail
of Warren C. Spurgin, missing presi
dent of the wrecked Michigan Ave
nue Trust company, apparently lost
in Mexico, federal authorities today
turned attention to reports that the
private vault of Spurgin in the bank
where $10,000 worth of liquor was
found was in reality a down town
saloon" for wealthy business men."
"It has come to us," said District
Attorney Charles F. Clyne, "that
there were a number of well known
business men who did not have
boxes in the safety deposit vaults,
who nevertheless paid regular visits
there. These men. I understand had
their names on a list kept by one of
the employes. I am going to send
for that employe today, and if I get
that list of names I'm going to make
it hot for some one."
To Fight Extradition.
Chihuahua City, Mex., Aug. 8.
Warren C. Spurgin, missing Chicago
banker, in hiding not far from this
city, and going by the name of W.
C. Scott, will fight any movement
made to extradite him and if appre
hended will appeal to authorities for
permission to remain in Mexico as a
permanent resident, according to
men here who are keeping in touch
with him.
M. JL Clinton, a discharged sol
dier, who is said to have helped ar
range the trip into Mexico for the
fugitive banker, said today Spurgin
intended to make a trip to Mexico
City.
Local authorities seem to be will
ing for Spurgin to sojourn in the
neighboring territory.. However,
Chief of Police Hermosillo has
promised to hold him should he re
appear in this city.
Detectives on Trail.
A number of American detectives
are here looking for Spurgin and
Spurgin has been told of their
presence and furnished with their
descriptions, it is said.
Train connections are bad, auto
mobile service between the small
towns is worse and accommodations
for an American traveler are almost
impossible. Hence, it is said, per
sons seeking Spurgin's apprehension
are losing interest on account of the
small reward.
Old Seal Antiquated,
Committee Reports
Lincoln, Aug. 8. The old seal of
the state of Nebraska is antiquated
and nearly obsolete in that it does
not show the present sovereignty of
the state', nor its principal industrial
activity, according to a report maae
to Gov. Samuel R. McKelvie today
by Representative George A. Wil
liams, chairman of the committee ap
pointed by the governor under a
bill passed by the last legislature to
design a new state emblem.
"The man with the anvil does not
fittingly represent the .industry and
labor of the state," the report de
clares. "The river and steamboat do
not in the least emphasize transpor
tation in Nebraska. Th log cabin
shown on the seal spells nothing,
while the mountains. ,int the back
ground, which 50 years ago repre
sented the boundary of civilization,
has no significance today. There is
not a feature of thc.ipresent seal,
however, much it stood for in the
past, that fitly speaki Of the modern
Nebraska, save the sheaves of wheat
which are engraved on it."
The committee invites the help of
the press and of the people of the
state in the way of suggestions.
Moroccan Tribesmen Shelled
By Guns of Spanish Ships
London, Aug. 8. Moroccan tribes
men, who two weeks ago signally
defeated Spanish troops in north
eastern Morocco, are reported to
have appeared in force before Melilla,
the last stronghold of the Spanish
in that section of the country. It is
asserted that panic reigns in the city
and that civilians are seeking safety
on board ships in the harbor.
Uncertainty surrounds the fate of
General Navarro and - several hun
dred men who were reported last
week to have been surrounded by
Moors on Mount Arruit. Madrid
advices indicate the fear in official
quarters that General Navarro's
forces have been annihilated.
Spanish soldiers have been landed
on the Moroccan coast southeast of
Melilla, where they are under pro
tection of the guns of warships.

Hudson Maxim Prepares Questions
In Competition With Thomas Edison
Noted Inventor of Smokeless Powder Answers All
But Six of Electrical Wizard's Puzzlers Makes
Things Easy by Giving Solutions.
New York, Aug. 8. From the
master mind of Hudson Maxim,
who has invented a hundred things,
from canned food to smokeless
powder, ccmes a questionnaire sim
ilar to that of 1 nomas A. taison,
which appeared a few months ago.
It is interesting to note that Mr.
Maxim answered all except six of
Mr. Edison's 145 questions.
The fact is the more remarkable
in that Maxim could neither read
nor write when he was 9 years
old. He is 68 now.
Here are some of the Maxim
questions, framed as his guide to
one's mental equipment, with an
swers below:
1. Where on the surface of the
earth would a hunter be standing,
who, seeing a deer to the east of
him, would point his gun north to
shoot the deer?
2. What causes the coJd currents
coming down from the north to hug
the American coast?
3. If one were to fly by airplane
around the earth in a westerly di
rection at the speed of the earth's
rotation, starting from New York
at noon on Sunday, it would be
noon with him during the entire
voyage; but where would the day
change from Sunday noon to Mon
day noon?
Building Picket Fence.
4. Would it take any more pick
ets to build a fence a mile and a
quarter long over a hill than it
would to build it a mile long on
the level in a tunnel through the

5. Would it take any more stone
to build a stone wall four feet high
and three feet wide and a mile and
a quarter long over a hill than t
would to build it a mile long on

J. E. Hart, secretary of the depart
ment of trade and commerce, has
made it plain to the public that the
handling of securities of the Co

was a direct violation of the law and
dictates of his department.
"I am only too glad to explain
our connection . with the defunct
Guaranty Securities company. The
first we knew of its transactions was
an advertisement of its enterprises.
Immediately we called the man who

Indiana Officials
Seek Two Forgers
Muncie, Ind., Aug. 8. (Special
Telegram.) Police and federal au
thorities are searching for a couple
giving their names as Mr. and Mrs.
Dudley Wolfe of Omaha, who are
charged with having issued bogus
checks totaling between $2,000 and
$3,000 in various Indiana cities and
who last week passed $600 worth of
checks here.
The checks were certified with a
forged rubber stamp and the name
of a bank cashier forged to them,
making the offense a federal one.
The checks were made on the ac
count of a wealthy Muncie manu
facturer and his signature was so
well imitated that officers were un
able to detect the forgery. The
woman' is thought by authorities to
have forged the name of the manu
facturer to the checks.

"Dye Monopoly''
Busy in Cabinet
Wisconsin Representative De

Chemical Company Too
Active on Tariff Bill.
Washington, Aug. 8. The charge
that "the dye monopoly headed by
the Chemical Foundation company,"
has sought to influence three mem
bers of President Harding's cabinet
in an effort to perpetuate its "pres
ent exclusive oower in this country'
made by Representative Frear, re
publican, Wisconsin, in a letter to
Chairman Penrose of the senate
committee, considering the tariff- bill.
The Wisconsin member, who icaa
the successful fight in the house
against the dye embargo in the
Fordnev bill, referred specifically to
the letters written to Senator Pen
rose by Secretaries Weeks and Den-
by. Mr. Frear also declared mat
Attorney General Daugherty had
failed to acknowledge or act on his
letter of lulv 18. asking that legal
proceedings be instituted to set aside
the Chemical Foundation company.
"No invisible government, said
Mr. Frear, "has ever shown more
brazen effrontery than this dye
monopoly. Not one line of evidence
in all the hearings, I am informed,
suggests that this government de
Dended uoon or received aid from
any dye establishments in the coun

areument that we should preserve
this $500,000,000 domestic dye mon
opoly, with its excessive prices and
enormous power because of ap
proaching war and through need of
private protection, is Dotn prepos
terous and ridiculous.

Packers' Readjustment
Is Declared Completed
Chicago, Aug. 8. The packing in
dustry has about completed its post
war readjustment and the position
of both producer and packer should
rapidly improve, Thomas E. Wil
son, president of the Institute of
American meat packers told hun
dreds of packers from all sections
of the country in opening the three
day annual convention here today.
Mr. Wilson presented a survey of
170 non-packer industries which he
compared with a survey of packing
tompanies to show that the non
packers did less than four times as
much business as the packers and
made more than 100 times as much
profit. The packing companies sur
veyed earned profits of $7,218,068 on
an investment of approximately
$590,000,000 and sales of $3,013,002,
000 he said.
He also presented a table to show
price declines in wholesale meat
products during the past year rang
ing fror.i 16 per cent to 47 per cent.
Practically all by-products are lower
than in 1913, he asserted.
The per capita consumption of
meat and lard in the United States
in 1918 was 104.3 pounds as com
pared with 163.3 pounds in 1913, rep
resenting a potential loss of 1,365,
000,000 pounds, he said.

Bumper Corn Crop
Will Be Assured by
Another Good Rain
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 8. A bumper
corn crop is assured with another
good rain, while part of the counties
already have sufficient moisture, ac
cording to the weekly crop report
of A. E. Anderson, federal statistician
of the federal bureau of market and
crop estimates. However it is re
ported that drouth in the southwest
ern quarter of the state during the
critical period will hold that crop
down to about three-fourths of a full
rtturn. The threshing of wheat is
nearly completed in some of the
eastern counties, while the yield and
quality of oats is continually report
ed as lower.
Nebraska's early commercial pota
to crop is said to be the most attrac
tive on the Chicago market, com
manding prices as much as $1 over
Kansas potatoes and 50 cents over
the M;ssouri crop.
Alfalfa will show a wide range in
yields this year, and the state aver
age will fall below ths yield for 1920,
Mr. Anderson reports.
