LOS ANGELES, August 12—The discovery of the butt of a double- barreled shotgun in the Pacific ocean near Santa Monica, was announced today by sheriff's officers investi- gating the slaying of J. Belton Ken- nedy. The butt was found by a camper, it was announeed. It was lying on the beach after the surf had receded. Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain of Los An: geles and Arthur C. Burch of Evanston, IIL, former students at Northwestern University, were indicted late yes- terday for the murder of John Bel- ton Kennedy. Mrs. Obenchaln, who was Wwith Kennedy last Friday night when he received the shotgun charge that tore away the back of his head, had been held as a material witness. Burch was arrested at Las Vegas, Nev., on Sunday, while returning home from Los Angeles. He had come here in_response to a request by Mrs. Obenchain. The indictments were returned be- fore Judge Sidney Reeves of the su- erior court, who had been requested BY the grand jury to remain at the hall of records to receive a report after his usual court hours. Judge Reeves remanded the prisoners to the county jail, to be arraigned Mon- day. ‘While the grand jury was hearing evidence and voting the indictments, Ralph Obenchain, former husbang of Mrs. Obenchain, who gave her up so that she might marry Kennedy, sent word that he was rushing to her assistance. Late yesterday she had telegrapheq that he would come to her. Arraignment of Madalynne Oben chain and Arthur C.

Belton Kennedy, broker, for whose murder the two were indicted last night. Meantime a wide search continues for the missing shotgun with which the broker was killed. A reward of $250 has been offered by a local newspaper. New Evidence Added. Two new bits of evidence have been added to the evidence which has been made public. A doctor who gave Burch a physical examination when he was placed in jail under suspicion of murder declared late yesterday be- fore the grand jury that at the time Burch’s shoulder ~appeared to be slightly discolored. Such a discolora~ jtion, he implied, might have resulted from the recoil of a shotgun. It was also said that a thorn had been, removed from the left knee of Burch sinde his incarceration. The glen in which the death of Kennedy occcurred is said to be extremely brushy. Officers of a private detective agency, working with newspaper men, declared they had discovered a new witness in the person of a janitress in the building in which Kennedy had his office. Three nights prior to the slaying, according to the story the janitress told investigators, Kennedy left his office in response to a handkerchief wave from a woman in a hotel room across the downtown street. Aqgord- ing to the janitress’ sattements, this was the room which she later learned was Burch's. She said her curiosity was aroused, and from the street she could see, besides a woman in the room a man sitting on the bed. She said that Kennedy returned to his office after ten or fifteen minutes. Her story has been conveyed to the district_attorney. Mrs. Obenchain, who collapsed, fol- lowing her indictment yesterday, seemed much improved later when word came that her former husband, Ralph Obenchain, Chicago attorney, had left Chicago to be with her dur- ing the trial. A telegram received by Burch in jail _also materially brightened the young college man. It was from his father, the Rev. William A. Burch, Illinois minister. It read: “Arrive Los Angeles Sunday aftermoon. Burch and Mrs. Obenchain saw each other, for the first time late in the day, 'but they were some distance apart and neither made any effort to talk with the other. Across the width of the prison. Mrs. Obenchain stood chatting_witl' her attorney. Burch was in his cell, the bars of which opened into the corridor. . FIRE DISCLOSES ALCOHOL. Thirty-Four Gallons Taken by Po- lice as Evidence. | Fire in a one-story garage in rear {of 2511 Sherman avenue shortly be- fore 2 o'clock this morning disclosed the presence of thirty-four gallons of alcohol, a quantity of colored matter, numerous empty tins that probably Ihad contained alcohol and revenue stamps and whisky labels. An explosion, the force of which was not severe enough to shatter the ilttle structure, awakened nearby residents, who reported seeing two jmen hurrying for the scene. | Several companies of firemen and police reserves appeared in response to an alarm sounded from box 859, jand the firemen extinguished the fire in time to save the evidence, which probably will be used in an internal {revenue investigation. Damage to the building and con- tents amounted to about $200, the po- lice reported. They also reported that the building is owned by E. W. Charlton, 2507 Sherman avenue, and |u:cupied by Harry Arronson 514 Co- {lumbia road. i | PROVIDE SPECIAL TRAIN. {Arrange Accommodations for Re- union of Junior Mechanics. | A speclal traim of the Baltimore and | Ohio railroad has been chartered to take | members and friends of the local Junior Order United American Mechanics and ithe Daughters of America to the re- {unions of the order at Pen Mar Park, Md., nest Thursday.

Citizens’ Association Committee to ‘Wage Campaign for Its Repeal.” ! A campaign for the repeal of the Borland law, which assesses half the {cost of strzet paving against abutting | property owners, will be launched by |the Federation of Citizens' Associa- tions tonight. ‘A special committee of federation, with William McK. Cla: ten as chairman, will mieet in the office f Pregident W. B. Westlake to ruap out tite campaign. Mr. Clayton pointed out today that there is an added reason now for abolishing this law in view of the ef- forts being made to relieve the street railway companies of paving the space between car tracks. If the com- Tanies are granted this relief, Mr. Clay- ton said, it will mean that the property owners will pay half the cost of car track paving. The chairman of the committee fur- ther pointed out that street improve- ments that are necessary are fre- quently not asked for because the P nr\vnen in the cases are not in a positiod to meet the assessment. & THE EVENING .

Scores of surprised townsfolk to- day personally tendered best ‘wishes to the venerable physician and his bride, both of whom are well known by the majority of Marion residents. Efforts to keep the marriage a se- cret were to no avail, although not until after the couple reached Marion last night, six hours after Rev. Frank T. Knowles, a Presbyterlan minister at Monroe, had pronounced them man and wife did Dr. Harding admit that he had become a benedict. In Toledo a few hours previous he told news paper men that he and Miss Severn! had not been ed. Later he ex- plained that he thought it was none their business. OtArflevlng at, the station here last night, Dr. Harding and his bride, hurrying to catch a trolley car, were met by the local newspapermen, who offered congratulations and transportation in an automobile.

HARDI into Monroe in an automobile, reach- ing the city shortly after noon yester- day. They went immediately to the county courthouse, obtained a mar- riage license and asked to be directed to a Baptist parsonage. As there is no resident Baptist pastor here, the couple went to the home of the Rev. Frank T. Knowles, pastor-of the Mon- roe Presbyterian Church, who per- formed the ceremony at 2 o'clock. Following the wedding, Dr. Harding and his bride left immediately in their automobile, driving south toward To- ledo. Dr. Harding made an attempt to withhold announcement of his mar- riage. The marriage license, obtained from Miss Beryl Snyder, deputy ceunty clerk, was marked “not for pyb- Hcatiom.” Asked by the Rev. Mr. Knowles be- fore the ceremony if he was the father of President Harding, the Marion phy- sician ignored the question. Dr. Harding appeared in the best of spirits while in Monroe and talked with newspapermen and attaches of the county clerk's office on a variety !o_f subjects. The physician distributed ll.‘ll;sl"s among men with whom he talked at the county building and sent 2 box of them to the office of the local daily newspaper. Monroe long has been noted as the ‘wedding place of Ohio couples who de: sire to marry in secret, as it is located but a few miles from the border. PROF.

By the Associated Press. BIRMINGHAM, Ala, August 12.— From his cell in Jefferson county jail, Edwin R. Stephenson, barber and itinerant preacher, who late yester- day shot and killed Very Rev. James E. Coyle, dean of north Alabama for the Catholic Church and pastor of St. Paul's Church, will be able to hear the funeral oration spoken for his victim. The jail adjoins the church property and Stephenson’s cell is within ear- shot of the auditorium of St. Paul Stephenson has had little to say re- garding the shooting. “I remonstrated with him for mar- rying my daughter Ruth to a man against whom we had lodged objec- tions,” said the prisoner. Called Him “Dirty Dog.” “I called him a ‘dirty dog, ” said Stephenson. “He struck me, and then 1 shot him. Father Coyle was shot on the porch of St. Paul's rectory at 6:30 o'clock 1ast night and died an hour later in a hospital without regaining con- sclousness. Members of the priest's household saw the man approach the | rectory but didn’t hear the conversa- tion. | Father Coyle had been rector of St. Paul’s since 1904. In 1913 he was ap- pointed irremovahle pastor and in 1915 was made dean of porth Alabama dio- cese. He was edifor of the Catholic Monthly. “For a long time,” Mrs. Stephenson, wife of the prisoner, said, “‘our daughter Ruth_has evidenced strong regard for the Catholic Church. When she was magried to a man of that faith it brought matters to a hea B Ruth Stephenson was married toj Pedro Gussman, who was born in Porto Rico, but who has been a resident of Birmingham for twelve years. They had been sweethearts for two years, but waited until the girl was eighteen ! before marrying, according to relatives | of the girl. The marriage license was issued in regular form at Bessemer, according to the authorities. Was “Marrying Parson.” Stephenson was born in Franklin, Ga., in 1870, his wife states, and had lived in various places in Georgia and Alabama. He came to Birmingham twelve years ago. He had never held a regular pastorate, his family said. He frequented the county courthouse, where he was given the nickname of “marrying parson,” because of his number of marriage ceremonies he performed in the county building. Stephenson is not a member of the Southern Methodist Church, the Rev. Dr. Robert Echols, presiding elder of the Birmingham district, said togay. “He was formerly affiliated with this church, but was never a regularly ordained minister,” said Dr. Echols. “About a year ago I became dissatis- fled with the report reaching me of the manner in which he was hanging around the courthouse and when I remonstrated with him, he left the church and became affiliated with an- other,” this official stated. = A cemetery for all pet animals is maintained "in Paris, and in _the Laeken Park, in Brussels, cats, dogs, monkeys, parrots and canaries are First Woman Elected to.

SEE GREATER STREAM OF CANADA RUM TO U. S. Ontario Temperance Act Opens Way to Traffic and Officials Expect Rush. ‘WINDSOR, Ontario, August 12— Canadian prohibition officials expect liquor will pour acro: the border into the United States in greater istreams than ever because of the court ruling that the Ontario temper- ance act does not prohibit exportation of intoxicants to a foreign country. Disagreeing with American custom officials, who stated in Detroit that they did not look for increased rum running; the Canadians said that or- ders from the United States aiready were reaching breweries and distil- leries in this district and that owners of these plants said they would fill the orders. Reports were current that before the end of the week more than a score of speed boats would be cross- ing the lake with liquor. A. T. Mon- treull, collector of customs, said that under the law he was powerless to re- fuse clearance papers ATpments intended for the United States and that he would issue such papers even for the smallest craft. The police professed themselves un- able to interfere with the liquor traf- fic. Inspector Mousseau said he was not taking any steps to appeal Wed- nesday's decision, but that the case would be referred to Toronto authori- ties and that any action would have to come from there.

BALTIMORE, August 12—*If the government will pay us a part of what it owes us on account of oper- ating the Baltimore and Ohio railroad during the period of federal control we will put from 8,000 to 10,000 men back to work.” said C. W. Gallowar. viee nt of the railroad, ad- 5,000 members of the Balti- more Lodge, Veteran Emploves of tha Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and their friends at Pen-Mar, where th: annual outing of the aseociation held on Wednesday. The vice president warned the em- ployes against listening to any strike propaganda, declaring that it was a time for employe and employer to “get their feet on the ground” and reason things out together. “It makes no difference.” said Mr. Gal- loway, “whether the employes of th “X. Y. Z. railroad walk out on strike: you should not follow their lead.” He evidently was referring to the threat- ¢ned strike on the Pennsylvania ral road. The unrest among labor today, said Mr. Galloway, was due to the fact that employer and employe did not fully understand each other and had not been meeting on a common basis “When employes have grievances,” he said, “they should not rush out and refuse to work, but should re- main at work and talk the matter over with their emplovers and reach a mutual understanding. It is a critical period now for the railroads. but with the help of such men as the veterans we can keep our railroad going.” DYNAMITE WRECKS H CHICAGO, August 11.—A dynamite explosion early today wrecked the residence of Col.
