site on which the granite marker has
been placed will be brought within
this park and will be forever protect
ed as -one of the historical spots of
the state. The park now. contains
300 acres and will, be enlarged.
Proof of the site which was
memoralized this afternoon was pre

by Mrs. A. W. Mann. Mr. Oliver
obtained his data from the records
of the late Mitchell Vincent, engi
neer,, who worked with the late Dr.
Elliott Cowes of Smithsonian insti

original Lewis and Clark reports of
their expedition which extended . to
the Columbia river and required more
than two years to complete.
The administration of Lewis and

with the state park commission.
Grim and Gay Blended. .
The grim and -the gay ; were
blended when L. M.- Payne, county
recorder, appeared as a feature of
the program, garbed as a Mormon
elder, accompanied by six wives and
12 children. He carried the Mor
mon book of law under his arm. The
scene harked back to the days when
the Mormons, camped in Monona
county during their pilgrimage to
Utah. This Mormon group added a
touch of realism to the scene by en
tering a nearby field and appropri
ating the fruit thereof. When the
master of the field remonstrated they
replied, "The Lord hath need of
this," according to early-day Mor
mon custom. The old Mormon set
tlement in this county was known
as "Preparation."
Rev. M. L. Sunderland of the
Methodist church read an account
of the visit of Lewis and Clark. He
read excerpts from their journal re
ferring to their three-day stop in
Monona county. While the minis
ter was reading, a group of 38 On
awa American Legion men appeared
on the crest of a nearby hill. 1 hey
were dressed with some degree ot
historical correctness. B. G. Loo
mis impersonated Captain Lewis, J.

Farm Credits Bill
Delayed in House
Washington, Aug. 9. The admin
istration bill extending the powers of
the war finance .corporation "with re
spect to farm credits -struck a snag
yesterday in the house committee on
banking and currency.
Members of the committee rebelled
against a request by Republican
Leader Mondell that the bill be re
ported to the house not later than
Wednesday so that ft could be passed
by the end of the week. Instead of
providing for quick action the com
mittee decided to hold hearings for a
number of davs. It is unlikely that
the bill can be reported to the house
during the present week.
Although the N orris larm export
comoration bill, for which the ad
ministration bill broadening the pow
ers of the war finance corporation
was a substitute, originated in the
senate committee on agriculture, the
measure as passed by the senate was
kept out of the hands of the house
committee on agriculture and sent to
the banking and currency committee
instead. Th banking and currency
committee is not dominated by the
agriculture interests to such an ex
tent as the committee on agriculture.

last night was told by a Philadel

Walz, that block parties with thou

heralded as aesthetic and elevating.
The convention planned country
wide effort to offset with artistic
steps, "the poison generated during
the last few years by improper danc
ing." Coroner's Jury
Hears Details of
Kennedy Murder
Woman Held as Witness
Grilled by District Attorney
Illinois Man Also
Questioned.
Los Angeles, Aug. 9. The details
of the recent shooting of J. Belton
Kennedy, a young broker, on the
steps of his summer home in Bever
ly Glen, near here, were tcJd to a
coroner's jury here this afternoon.
A verdict was returned reciting that
Kennedy "met death from a gunshot
wound, inflicted by . persons un
known, with intent to commit mur
der." While the inquest was in progress
and for more than four hours. Dis
trict Attorney Thomas Lee Wool
wine conferred personally and with
out witnesses, with Mrs. Madelynne
Obenchain, the . young divorced
woman who was with Kennedy
when he was shot an who has since
been held as a material witness.
When Mr. Woolwine emerged from
hs conference and Mrs. Obenchain
was returned to jail, the district at
torney merely said that it was "vital
to the case that what was said be
not discussed," and declined to go
further. He added that he would
present the case to the Los Angeles
county grand jury Thursday. .
A third conference was held while
the inquest and the conversation
with Mrs. Obenchain were in prog
ress. Arthur C. Burch, the young
man of Evanston, 111., who was ar
rested at Las Vegas, Nev., last Sat
urday night and has since been held
here booked for "suspicion of mur
der," was also taken from his cell
in the county ajil and talked at
length with Deputy District Attor
ney 'Asa Keyes.
Before Mrs. Obenchain was tak
en to the district attorney's office
she had retained an attorney. Burch
also has been visited by a local
lawyer, who, it was said,- had been
retained by a telegraph message
from his parents at Evanston.
Mrs. Obenchain talked freely to
newspaper men today for the first
time since the vtragedy. She con
tinued to decline, however, to say
why she had summoned Burch here
from Evanston. Both of them had
previously stated that this was the
case. Her statement dealt chiefly
with her love for the dead man and
with the conditions' that had pre
vented their marriage.

ONE single food element essential to health!
We now know that many of bur inefficien

health-maintaining element in food the water

This is why thousands of men and jiromen who
are eating otherwise good and wholesome meals '
find their energy and vigor slipping. And this is
also why many have little appetite and remain in
a state of lowered vitality.

yards yesterday with a shipment cf
steers from the range country that
resembled corn-fed cattle. The stock
consisted of high-grade Herefords
