CINCINNATI, July 14—In a state- ment tonight carried in the Commer- cial Tribune, under a Springfield, Ohio, dffe line, John L. Bushnell denied emphatically charges which Mrs. Rose Putnam, under arrest in Dayton, endeavored to flle today concerning alleged white slave act violation. “The whole affair is a frame-up, Mr. Bushnell said.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 14.—The tendency toward decreased horse breeding be- cause of small financial return prom- ises a shortage in the horse popula- tion of the country unless measures are taken to rekindle interest in that business, the National Institute of Progressive Farming has asserted in announcing a survey of the horse situation. It quoted figures of the United States Department of Agriculture to €how that there.has been a decrease of about 60 per cent in the number of stallions in service in the United States since 1915, a decrease of 913,- 000 horses on farms between January 1, 1920, and January 1, 1922, and a decrease during 1922 of 203,000 horses. Government figures, as quoted by the inetitute, show that the mone- tary loss for horses last vear was $29.180,000 and for mules $8,843,000; that horscs under one vear old had decreased gradually in value from an average of $47.95 In 1914 to $26.12 in 1923; one and under two years from $74.87 in 1914 to $40.98 in 1923, and two vears and over from $119.77 in 1914 to $75 in 1923.

She, too, saiq Kep- ner had told her some day he might leave Frederick and when he did “somebody else would be gone.” Miss Ricketts, however, denied that her relations with Kepner had exceeded the bounds of propriety, although she said he had frequently given her drinks. Pr...Isa J. McCurdy, however, sprang the surprise of the day when he accused the autopsists of having bungled the autopsy over the body | of Mrs. Kepner, and having destroyea levldemza which would have proved | with unimpeachable accuracy whether the bullet that ended her life had been fired from the right or the left side of her head, a most important point in determining whether she had been murdered. Jury Out Over Hour. , Dr. McCurdy impressed the jury profoundly, but his statements failed to wipe out testimony prevoiusly given by a half dozen or more wit- nesses. It was just exactly 4 o'clock when the case went to the jury. At 5:25 Mr. Wertheimer informed the state's attorney that he was ready to an- nounce a verdict. In part, the ver- dict declared that “the good and law- ful men of the county aforesaid, who, being sworn to inquire on the part of the state of Maryland, when, where &nd after what manner Mrs, Grace Kepner came to her death, do say upon their oath that on the 18th day of June, in the year 1923, at the home of@zra Houck, sr., In the said county of Frederick, state of Maryland, by a gunshot wound through the head by some one unknown to the jury. We are convinced that she did®not take her own life.” r. Kepner, wealthy in his own name, architect and ‘director of a local bank, was not present when the verdict was read. He was informed of the decision by his lawyer and later, through that officlal, declared 1 himself ready to employ detectives to track down his wife's murderer. Fur- ther than this, he refused to com- ment on the case, and. whenever he was interrogated, smilingly waved his hand in the direction of his astute at- torney.- The lawyer, on the other hand, declared the case deserved no comment, but spoke for itself. Asked what action he would take, State's Attorney Anders sald: “I shall do everything in my power to, apprehend the murderer of Mrs, Kepner, as. I have dong to. prove whether or not ‘she was assassinated or a sulclde.” Helped the Dealer.

By F. A, MACKENZIE. By Cable to The Star and-€hicago Daily News. Copyright, 1023, MOSCOW, July 14.—It is officially confirmed that Mgr. Benjamin, metro- politan archbishop of Petrograd, was shot soon after being sentenced last summer. Never until now have the authorities made any statement concerning the execution. Consequently, many of the falthtul refused to believe that Ben- jamin was dead. The supreme church council, in a formal statement attacking Patri- arch Tikhon. declares that he has killed himself morally. As a result of his policy there have been many church members and the political authorities in which blood has been spilt. Bishops. priests and church members have been shot or have perished in prison or been exiled. In 1 while executing Tikhon's orders concerning church | treasurer. forty-five persons, includ-| ing the Metropolitan Benjamin, were shot and 250 were sentenced to long terms of imprisonment “Tikhon's hands have been dipped in blood,” declares the supreme church council. “He is guilty before | the mother church.

TEEING AND TOEING | the CANADIAN EMBARGO UPON PULP FEARED Papermakers Say It Would Boost Prices and Cost Jobs of Thousands. Proposed embargo by the Canadian government on pulp wood exported to the United States is declared to be one of the most serious problems that has confronted the American paper indugtry in years In a statement issued by the American Paper and Pulp Association to.its membership. The statement asserts that 'should such an embargo be effected it would be a calamity to the paper Industry of this country. “The Canadian House of Commons jhas passed a resolution empowering the governor In counell to: prohibit the exportation of pulpwood to" this country from privately owned tim- berlands in Canada,” says the state- ment, which is signed by Dr. Hugh Baker, executive secretary of the American Paper and Pulp Association. “For many vears the pulp and paper mills of- northern' New York, New England and the northern lake states have purchased from 25 to ‘100 per cent of their annual pulp wood re- quirements from the freehold lands of Canada. “Many of our paper mills have be- come 80 dependent on Canadian pulp- wood that an embargo would not only cause extreme hardship but might even force them to cease manufactur- ing. “Since the passage of thia act ut Ottawa the leading newspapers of castern Canada have commended the action very highly and urged its early application. = Should the Do- minjon act, as it is now empowered to do, a number of mills in northern New York and elsewhere would be forced to close, meaning the loss of important industries to the state and throwing out of employment of large numbers of waze earners. uch ac by Canada would, in be a elamity for the paper ry in the United States. It is to discuss the effect of embargo_upon the paper In- y of the United States. The prices of wood and pulp would re- immediately to such an em- and if prices of wood and pulp advance sthe public will feel the effect of this embargo in the increased cost of all paper. “This threaténed aggressiveness upon the part of Canada puts up to our industry one of the most serfous problems with which we confronted in ycars.

(Continued from First Page.) still. Bobby fretted. He chipped, but found a trap. His fourth was qn the green and he took 2 to hole out. Never was there a more gallant fighter on the links than Cruikshank. And hever, in the face of such odds as he had to combat, did a man sall through with such success. Reverses he had, but they did not unnerve him. Once, near the end, he faltered to such an extent that defeat chuckled under his nose. ‘But he trlumphed. In the first place, Jones, who h: been pounding golf clubs on the door of natfonal titledom for several years, went out ‘for the final round with victory almost certainly in his grasp. Bobby Comes Back. Five thousand persons about him, cheering him, encouraging him, spur- ring' him on, the young Atlantan slipped a trifle on his first nine, mak- ing it in 41 strokes, four, over par. It seemed then that, Jones mizht lose, but he came back. Around the second nine he shot perfect golf. Far down the fairways went his t8e shots, True to the green salled his irons and his lpullinl was par. lle made the nine in par 35, and was in the lead, Jock | 11utchison, the Chicago Scot, who led the field yesterday, having slipped out of the picture. Qolng out in the afternoon, Jones :d a 29, two over par, having driven his tee shot out of* bounds on the seventh, the most difficult hole of the course and taken a 5, two over par. Then he started his remarkable shooting agaln, making a birdie 3 on tie tenth, a birdle 4 on the fourteenth. {Arrived at the sixteenth tee he was an almost certain winner. Then he Itook a 5 on the par four sixteenth,| another 5 on the par four seventeenth and moved to the eighteenth tee. His | drive was good, well placed on the fairway. His iron shot heoked Into the crowd to the left of the green. He dubbed his chip and found a trap, his fourth barely got on the green and he holed with two putts for a 6 and @ 37 for the nine/ a 296 for the {seventy-two holes. In Trap After Trap. When Jones was finishing, Cruik- shank, the Plaids of Clan-Na-Guan, of which he Is a descendant, in his golf socks and his tle, a jaunty gray cap pulled on one side of his head | and a curly, sandy lock of hair hang- {ing in his eyes, was teeing off at the second hole of his last round. Crulkshank was tired, dog tired, {for he had had one of the toughest | morning rounds a man can have. In| |the morning he had started withia par four on the first and then found | himself in the worst of holes. Fate| seemed to be against him! Out of one | trap, he got into another. He spent| six strokes getting away from the | cond, took six on the par 5 third {and 7 on the par 5 fifth. “I was ready to cry a bit after jthat,” said Cruikshank afterward, “but something seemed to say to me: | Keep on, you bloomin' bounder, ! {There's always a chance.’ So I gritted my teeth and went on.” H The sixth, seventh, eighth andi ninth he made In a par for a 42. The tenth he left with a birdie 3. but lost a stroke on the elbow thirteenth. | Another birdie flew to his card and | on the par 5 fourteenth and although he was one over each on the sixteenth and seventeenth he finished with a birdie 3, a 36 and a round of 78, ! “Says sald Crulkshank, “this | will never do. Buck up. old topper, «nd golf like she should pe." ! Got News of Jomes. i Then wee Bobbie started his second | round, The first took him five strokes and at the second he got news of Jones' faltering at the finish and of the card of 296. He needed to make par 72 for his last round to win and 73 to tie. The gallery, numbering at this time, some 8,000 persons, moved from the elghteenth, where they had seen Jones' finish, to the second. where Crulk- shank had arrived with his partner, Walter Hagen. Hagen was hopelessly out of the running, but golf never knew a better sport than ‘he was today. Knowing that he had no chance he devoted most of his attention to Cruikshank, whispering encouragement whenever he could and laughing away all the ftough luck that Crulkshank had. Buoyed to great effort Crulkshank tinished the first nine in 36, one under par. On the tenth he had a birdle three and the eleventh and twelfth he made in par. He was one over par with a five on the crooked thirteenth when his second shot fell short and on the fifteenth, a short hole, his niblick shot went over the green and he took & four. Trouble Came in Bunch. Then his trouble came in a bunch. He sliced his drive to the sixteenth, drove his second shot short of the green, was on in three and took three putts for a six. A groan went up trom the gallery, for they knew that Cruik- shank could neither win nor tie ex- cepting _through the most extraordi- nary golf. But that's just what Bobbie did. He made his seventeenth with a par four. His drive from the eigh- teenth tee was long and straight. He lay about 170 yards from the green He dallled not a bit over the shot. Selecting_ his iron, he was to_the ball, addressed it and swung. The ball sailed low, straight, hit the green and roiled and’ rolled, stopping just about Cruickshank's length from the pin. Crulkshank measured it, took a long look, then a long breath, squinted his eye on the cup, then the ball and putt. The ball took & slight hop, then rolled to the lip of the cup, hesitated, as if to_tease, then dropped in. Phewt" was alf Crutkshank had to say. Tobby Jones stood on the edge of the green, saw the shot, smiled and congratulated the player, Cards Turned The cards turned in by Jones and Cruikshank were: Morning round: Jones— Out 45556 In 4434 Crutkshank— r(;l\ll .. 4665 In L3445 Afternoon round: Jones— . .54565 Out ...

But Germany has decreed ‘a sort of state of war against France in the Ruhr—legally occupled under the treaty—which Germmuny calls passive resistance.

British policy is not French policy, and even though the entente is again restored to some extent, there is evi- dently great truth in the words of Foreign Minister Benes on departing from London after he had impressed members of the British cabinet that a break between France and Eng- land was unthinkable and couldn't be. Benes, one of the clearest think- ers in Europe, who had talked to Poincare in Paris before he went to Ln[xlll:n. summed up: “I'm frankly pessimistic about an early settlement on reparations, = 1 believe all Europe is facing a long period of convalescence, at least ten or fifteen years. The Ruhr trouble will be adjusted before long. but that does not mean a settlément of the reparations question. Fresh difficul- ties are bound to arise and when a lasting solution is found, 1 am con- vinced that it will be with the co- operation of America. America de- cided the war and she will declde peace. But she will act only in her own interest—as a at nation should—and on her own terms, in her own good tim This statemen is the result of Benes' dash from Prague, first to assure himself on behalf of the little treaty-born countries in eastern Zurope that France and England are not going to break. and, secondly, to offer his good offices with a plan which might lead the reparations question toward the league. Bepes.does not see war during the continuous bickering in future years over reparations, but returns to Prague conyinced that the great na- tions are interested but not yet read: to shove nationalism aside in favor o a general settlement of trouble. Told in Conversation. A famous French paper, in attempt- ing to bring the reparations question in the form of conversation between personalities. suggests the following conversation between “John Bull” and “Jacques Fon Homme Jacques—You. John, you fought and suffered four years for right. Is it possible that treaties have become pieces of paper? John Bull—No. Jacques—Are not our land, our peo- ple ruinea? John Bull—Jacques Bon Homme, I respond loyally but I can't always think of that which has happened during the war. 1 want to iive ir peace. 1 want to revise my commerce and desire that one should quit talk- ing about the old stories. Jacques—Even forsaking a comrade in misery? Even helping sink him further? - Even . forgetting pledged word and honor and Jjustice? John Bull—No, but " understand this matter has got to be arranged. Jacques—I've perhaps not been very intelligent, but neither have you, John. It's Michel, the German Michel, who has been intelligent in passing himself off as poor while he has been develop- ing his factories, rebuilding the boats you wealth abroad and declaring himself {incapable of paying. John Bull—I want to arrange matters. as you say, but it is necessary to look at the treaty of Versailles or another one. Jacques—Look at what we've done to repair our ruins by not waiting to be paid. But what we want above all. dear John, is not to have to fizht the war again. Germans against forty million French. 1 know the birth rate s our fault, but there are those who died and we've a {right to peace now like you and like ! the whole world. This is_the fundamental difference between French and British views. Baldwin in his speech to the commons ceded nothing to this viewpoint and .it is almost certain that Poincare will cede nothing to British views. The entente is unbroken. It remains as be- fore a badly battered machine and it may be doubtful whether British and French machines are capable of putting it in running order. HOYEL_INN 604-610 9th St. N.W.
