(Copyright Natlonal Newspaper Service.) B S STAR, WASHINGTO! NEW BURCH TRIAL SET FORMARCH 27 Jury in First Trial Disagreed After 71 Hours’ Con- sideration. LOS ANGELES, Calit., January N.— Date for the second trial of Arthur C. Burch, indicted for the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, was set today for March 27. Burch, when asked by the judge whether that date was sat- istactory, replied In the affirmative. A jury in the first trial was dis charged yesterday, having failed to agree after having the case under consideration for seventy-one hours. The first trial lasted eight weeks. Their vote was said to be 10 to 2 snviction. The trial of Mrs. Madalynne Oben- chain, indicted jointly with Burch, has becn set for February 6. Nothing that occurred today indicated any de- lay in that trial. “I'm going to keep after Burch un- til T get him,” the district attorney said. He issued a signed statement in which he asserted that within forty-eight hours after the jury was sworn in, he and Assistant District Attorney Asa Keyes had made up their minds that one of the jurors had “gone on the jury with her mind al- ready made up, and that she would, in all probability, vote for acquittal.” The statement characterized the con- duct of this juror as “reprehensible beyond belief.” Burch said he was “surprised and Qisappointed.” but added, “I believe the jury did the best it could.” His father, the Rev. W. A. Burch of Evan- ston, 111, said he was “well pleased” with the outcome. J. Kennedy, father of the slain man, said he believed the evidence conclusive for conviction and | that-any other result was an “out- POINGARE AMENDS have a right to expect your plctures to last), you will have all of your finishing done at this shop.

Following a discussion of the gen- eral labor situation in the United States, especially as it is affected by present disturbances among the mine workers in West Virginla, it was in- timated at the White House that an investigation of the latter will be in- stituted immediately under the super- vision of the Labor Department. Secretary Davis of the Department of Labor, who brought the matter up at the cabinet meeting today, said that conditions in West Virginia were in any way serious, he deemed it ad- visable for the government to be pre- pared, at least 80 far as being prop- erly advised of the exact circum- ous disturbance in that section. Other than the discu: labor matter and an interesting re- gort on the progress of the arms con- 'erence, made by Secretary Hughes, the cabinet session was more or less an informal one, many routine mat- being disps of.

California is the destination of more immigrants than any other spot in the country at present, according F. Van Ripper, executive of the Washington branch of the Travelers' Aid Society, whose function is to lodk after those in need of assistance entering Wash- ington. With the exception of New York, she said, more immigrants pass through Washington than through any other place in the country. “Scarcely a day passes that we do she declared, “who, new to the country and its and unable to speak the Eng- lish language, are en route to rel and who would become ea: prey to the unscrupulous were it not I Fifteen Came Yesterdny. Fifteen foreigners arrived at the Union station in a party yester- day. They came direct from the docks at New York, and the news of their coming was telegraphed to Mrs. Van Ripper. They were met at the train and it was learned that all were bound for California, They repre- sented Germans, Greeks, Italians and Slovaks. Their letters and passports were examined, the proper train connec- tions made, they were advised as to how best conceal their money and OBJECT TO THE METHOD IN CHOOSING PLAY SPACE D. C. Citizens Complain to Senator King the Gronnds Are Belected “Indiscriminately.” Numerous complaints are being re- ceived by Senator King of Utah from varlous citizens of the indiscriminate manner in which playgrounds are selected for the children of this city, Senator King said in a letter which he forwarded to Senator Ball, chair- man of the Senate District comumit- tee, today: Many of them contain suggestions that the playgrounds are not selected with & view to making them a cen- ter of population where there are great numbers of children. It was asserted that playgrounds should be located in centers where the child population was heavi nd that, so far as practicable, they should be 50 located that the chil- dren would not find it necessary to expend street car fare to reach them in_order to ‘enjoy their privilege. Senator King also transmitted a lot- ter from Mres. Lucy R. Swanton, chair- man of the united civic playgrounds committee, in which- the latter said that people of the District are greatly disturbed over the lack of space for the children to get helptul exercise. Mrs. Swanton said that a great many children lived in apartment houses with no places to play except the streets and alleys. Playgrounds are needed, she in- formcd Senator King, for helpful recreation, and she argued that if there were more playgrounds there would be less need for vice sup- pression. Mrs. Swanton also pointed out that while there are a number of public'-parks here, they belong to the federal government and are used principally as beauty spots. She urged an impartial survey of the situation with a view to remedying the conditions of affairs ,as now existing. MAJ. HOBSON RELIEVED. Maj. James M.

This is but a small part of the work being done by the Washington branch of the Travelers' Ald Society, but it is an important part. Immi- grants come from all parts of the country and speak all tongues, and while Néw York representatives can command twenty-six languages, the Washington representatives are not so fortunate. However, the languages must_be understood, and it is up to the Washington agents. They succeed by Invoking outside ald, so that no immigrant comes into the Union station and is unable to make himself understood. The Washington branch of the Travelers' Ald Soclety is maintained through voluntary contributions on the part of the citizens. Because of the big public service being given in this city, the Washington Terminal Company has just contributed $1,000 to the work of the society. Several more thousand dollars are needed, however, to keep the organization at its present high state of efficiency. i Al e HUSBAND’S FIVE CHILDREN WIN DIVORCE FOR WIFE With Six of Her Own by Former Marriage, Mrs. Amato.

The dispatch stated that Stiles, an employe of an American mining con- cern near Chihuahua, was “captured on January 11 by a band of robbers and held for $10,000 ransom. ‘When word of his capture was re- ceived at Chihuahua the governor of the province organized a band of constabulary. and set out in pursuit of the abductors, the consul reported.

CALLS BIG NUMBER OF DIRT FARMERS Secretary Wallace Reports Majority of Coming Confer- ence in That Class. “Dirt farmers” will constitute more than half of the number of delegates to the national agriculturel confer- ence to convene here Monday, Secre- tary Wallace of the Department of Agriculture announced last night. More than two-thirds of the remain- der are representatives of state agri- cultural departments, colleges and ed- itors of farm papers. —~Twenty-four women have been in- vited, the Secretary declares. Six of them, he added, operate their own farms. The others are representatives of the home economic work and are familiar with farm conditions. Two-thirds of the personnel of the conference, Mr. Wallace declared, will be strictly of the agricultural people. The others will consist of allied agri- cultural interests. “The farmers can do some things for themselves, but they are inter- ested in_ the cost of transportation, cost of distribution and enlargement of the markets for their products, and, therefore, we have asked repre- { sentatives of the allled industries to | meet with them to help work out the mutual problems,” he said. The greatest value of the confer- ence, it was said, would probably be in matters of policy, which, it is hoped, will be worked out iooking toward the future of a self-susta.n- ing farming policy. The conference, it was emphasized, would be expected to lay down such recommendations for an agricultural policy as would help avold periods of degression. The conference is also expected to serve as the occasion for numerous small meetings between growers and manufacturers interested in certain commoditi Thrift Week—“Work and Earn” Is Today’s Message HERE is nothing that will give you a greater feeling of satisfaction, a firmer finer viewpoint toward nd your own associates good day’s work, well e work, you vegetate; to mouth; with it, you ‘The first thrift essential is work.
