FARMER GIVEN INNING IN THE UPPER HOUSE After Giving Him Market, Senate Plans to Kill Grain Gambler. TO'CURB BUCKET SHOPS WASHINGTON. Aug. 9—The firmer*' program marched on In the Senate today. Haring passed the Administration bill to pnt the farmer back in bualnca* by giving him a market, the agricultural bloc turned its attention to putting the grain gambler out cf business. This it Is hoped to do through two measures: L The Capper-TlncUe anti-grain gambling bill. S. An Inreetlgatlea of alleged efforts of grain pinibler* to wreck the farmers* cooperative mo vert. rut. The first became the Senate’s unfinished business today. It imposes fceary taxes on all deals in grain futures. It surrounds legitimate trading on grain exchanges with safeguarding rules. It admits cooperative associations to membership on grain exchanges. It attempts to curb "bucket-shopping" by requiring rigid control of leased wires used by grain exchanges and dealers. The second memrure. a resolution by Kenyon, calls for an inquiry by the Senate Agricultural Committee of an alleged conspiracy by certain boards of trades, or their members, to destroy the| recently launched Farmers' Cooperatiy# Grain Exchange The Capper-Thomaj bill has been amended by the Senate Agricultural Committee with a view to eliminating much of the opposition to its passage without destroying its effectiveness. Senator Capper, Republican, Kansas, who conceived Ihe plan of using the taxing power of Congress to regulate trading in grain, expressed the belief the bill would encounter little specific opposition. Objections will come, however, from the con-ter-atlvea of the Senate, who are opposed to any control or regulation of business by the Federal Government. President Harding is said to have indicated a desire for the speedy disposition of the bill and is expected to approve the measure when it is finally agreed npon by the Senate and House. Tha Secretary of Agriculture is charged with tha enforcement of the act under tha terms of the bill and a commission consisting of the Se-retary of Agrieul-, tnre, the Secretary of Commerce and the Attorney Genera! le created and given authority to suspend or revoke (he licenses of grain markets which fail to comply with the requirements -f the law.

CHICAGOANS TO BE INDICTED IN KENNEDY DEATH (Continued From Page One.) material witness._ She was with Kennedy at the time as was slain. An inquest was to be held at 2 o'clock. It Is probable no indictment* will be sought until after the coroner 1 jury has returned its verdict. Officials intimated, however, that the inquest will be purely perfunctory, as the State does not wish to “show Its hand" by the Introduction of evidence not heretofore made public. It si; expected that an attempt would be made by Burch and by Mr*. Obn~hain to obtain their release from Jail on a writ of habeas corpu*. Mrs. Oben haln has retained a local attorney and Buret has ssked bis parents in Eranston to “retain the beat criminal lawyer in Los Angeles.” Officers were awaiting word from Chicago that may further implicate Buret following the finding of a rei’eipt (or a gun In hia possession. The scrap of paper. which may be one of the biggest pieces of evidence in the caae. reads: “Gun No. 194*>L Von Lengerke A Antoine, 128 South Wabash avenue. Not responsible for goods after thirty days. 2-1 1921.” Police believe a check of the reebrds of* the Chicago firm may reveal that Burch purchased, rent'd or had a gun repaired by the Chicago concern Maintaining an air of stern reticence Burch refused to make any explanation of the tell tale receipt when confronted with it by officers.

ADMITS VISITS BY MRS. O BEN CHAIN. Burch has steadfastly refused to talk except for the Important admission that Mrs. Obenchatn bad visited him in bis hotei room, which overlooked Keunedy's office and that he came here as a result of an "urgent telegram’' from Mrs. Obenrh.lln. Deputy sheriffs have located a motor car that Burch rented from a service stand the night of the murder. The car was taken out about 7 o'clock at night. It was returned at 11:30 p. m. Kennedy was killed between 8:30 and 9:30 o’clock. Confronted with this new evidence Burch blanched, then admitted he had rented the car. When asked wherV he had gone he replied after some evasion. "Just for a little ride.” One tire on the caro boro a peculiar tread. Officers found the mark of a tire of this same unusual tread in a little gulch near the murder bouse where the slayer Is believed to have left the car. Burch gave the name of "J. L. Jones” when he rented tho car. The address given was found to be thet of relatives Impor'ant evidence is said to be contained in letters and papers turned over to the district attorney sfier Kennedy’s safety deposit box had been rpened. Attorney Woolwlno today ref need to make public'the contents of the missives. J B. Kennedy, the father of the murdered man, nearly collapsed when the box was opened and some of the letters read. “There Is such a mass of inforru.illon in the letters that 1 cannot ree roy way clear to make it public at this time.’ said Woolwine. "Some have information that may enter vitally into the case.” The district attorney gave out one letter. "a* a tvpo,” It was written by Kennedy to Mrs. Obencbain. The signature and dosing line presumably indicated some secret terra of endearment. Tho letter follows: "How beautifully yon have remembered, dear Madslynne. and if you only knew how deeply touched I am every time I take one of the little black silk pieces In my hand, a*d know that won chose them for mo.” - "Everything you have ever done for me, everything you have ever given to me, even to the smallest card, wi'l always be cherished and never forgotten. “Do not think me cold, ungrateful. Ah. no—'ti* only that I wander in the dark, and Oh, —Madalynne. 1 cannot see the light—l know it lives, but the darkness is smothering, smothering me. If I can only lift the black mantle away and up from my shoulders and step out Into the glorious days. “Can you hear the wild cries, far far out on the desert's yellow sands where the blood red sun is dipping now to sleep. ' “God bless you, Talapsha. (Signed) "Talapshone." Search also was being made today for a notebook of names which Kennedy carried constantly, according to his father. It was missing when the body v- • '• ked up. GUN RECEIPT FOR A RIFLE CHICAGO, Aug. 9.—Bxajnipation of the fecords here of Von Lengexke A An-

Mrs. Burch, daughter of Bishop Wsi liaro A Quayle.

WOMAN DOES NOT LOVE BURCH (Popyriglit, 1021. By the I'nit and Free*) LOS ANGELES. Ang. 9 -Madaiynne Obonchain and Arthur Burch, held in connection with the mnrder of John Belton Kennedy, were not In love, the beautiful divorcee told the United Press tods'. Mrs. Ohenelißin, in the first Interview she was granted since the mysterious killing of Kennedy, apoke freely of all Incidents In connection with the midnight murder with the exception of Burch. She refused to answer many questions dealing with Burch's movements. Pressed for information as to her relationship with Burch, Mrs. Obenehain answered evasively: "Did Burch love you?” she was asked. “1 am positive he did not- He was simply a good friend. He never spoke a word of love to me iu my life.'' "You dtd not love him?” “No I did not 1 ..ve him." She refused to say wh''n she saw Burch previous to the shooting or if she visted him at the Russell Hotel. "I knew he was at the Russell,’’ she said. “Did you know hi-; room coni man led a view cf Kennedy's office?” She refused to answer FAIR DIVORCEE DESCRIBES Ml ROEh. Madaiynne of her own aecord described the "midnight murder.” Her story tsJlied exactly with her original statement to the police. “Belton and I had motored to tho beaches,” she said in a quiet voice. "We returned rather late and drove out to his summer cottage at B'-veriey Glenn. It wa* quite lute—almost midnight I should think. We left the machine and counted some steps up the hillside leading to the cottt ge. "I was some distance from Belton when the unexpected erase rang out. It came simultaneously with the flare of a match f had lighted and 1 was dazed. When the flare faded from my eyes. 1 could see figures—two. I think there were—disappearing into the brush.' , “Did Kennedy say anything to you as 1 he was dying? “Did he say ‘good night Madaiynne?’ ” “Yes,” she said slowly, “That is what | he said.”

SEES IN RAIL RILL PANACEA FOR IDLENESS Eugene Meyer, Jr., Declares Passage WouM Put 1,000,000 Men to Work. BLOW TO DEPRESSION WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—Jobs for 1,000.000 idle men will be provided if Congress passes the Administration’s railroads credits bill, Eugene Meyer, Jr., head of the War Finance Corporation, declared today before the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee in open hearings on the bill. 14 would put 200,000 men immediately at work, making railroad equipment, he said, and by creating a great demand for fuel and other material, would gradually result in reopening of industries at present closed or operating on a reduced basis. Interwoven with the bill's effect on unemployment would be, Moyer said : 1. Improvement of the market for farm product*. 2. Releasing of “troion credit” in great amounts for the help of general business. * 3. Advancing of the time when railroad rates can be reduced. / 4. Increases in Government revenues by reason of an increase in geneva! business. Railroad rules, Meyer said, should be reduced as soon as business is restored. The railroads, he added, are in his opinion, quite willing to reduce rates as soon as it is feasible, but If they are not, he pointed out, the InterState Commerce Commission hss full power to control their earning*. "Passage of this till, together with the form credit* bill, in my opinion,” said Meyer, “*hould mark the beginning of the end of the period of acute depression and contraction.”
