18 N0 INDIGTHENT IN + WPHERSON CASE Grand Jury Fails to Find Canse Against Unknown Suspects Tos Angeles, July 31 (P —Another phase of the Almee Bempie McPher- son Widnapping Inveatigation has ended with little light thrown on the various mysterfous sngles of the case as far as the public s concern- ed. After an exhaustive inquiry, in- cluding summoning of witnesses from many parta of the country and | collection of a maas of evidencs, the I.os Angeles grand jury yesterday re- ported aothing had been found to warrant indictments for kidnapping. Befors making its report, the jury, conmdered blank Indictments pre- pared by District Attorney Asa Keyes againat two men and a woman, Who Mra. McPherson alleged abducted her and held her for ransom. The fury, however, left the way open for tarther In igation by announcing was ready at any time to consider »4 May 183 at the beach et Oce Park, her mother, Mrs. Minnle Ken- pedy, and others sald she was drowned. Thousands of the pastor's followers and members of Angelus temple, her “four square EOspel” cburch. mourned and held a memor- 1al meeting. Then, on June 23, Mrs. McPherson reappeared at Agua Prieta, Mexico, and said she had been kidnapped. Story Not Substantiated Had the grand jury returned a blanket Indictment against the al- leged kidnappers the action would have been construed as substantiat- ing the evangelist's story e only officlal comment on the grand jury's failure to find a true bill came from Deputy District Attorney Joe Ryan, who directed the investigation. Th action of the grand jury explains fully the weight of the evidence in the case, was his brief explanation. Attorneys for Mrs. McPherson, however, see a vindication of evangelist's kidnapping story in the findings of the grand jury. “The official investigation mot on- Iy bears out her story and proves it true, but reveals her to the world as a truthful, upright woman who has withstood the attacks, in a re- ligious, God fearing manner,” her three lawyers declared in a state- ment given out at Angelus temple. District Attorney Keyes and at- torneys for Mrs, McPherson indicat- ed they were anxious to continue the inquiry until the case was clear- ed up. The evangelist’s counsel de- clared the grand jury had only add- the | s N GIRL, OPERATION VICTIM, IS BURIED AS A PAUPER Remains of Miss Edith Greene Are Lowered Into Fifteen Dollar Grave. Boston, July 21 (P—The body of Edith L. Greene, state ward, whose dismembered body was found in Mattapan one week ago today, was | |1owered into a $15 grave in the fleld of St. Mary at Mt. Benedict ceme- |tery, West Roxbury, late yesterday. | Every effort was made to keep the | |news of the burial in a plot pur chased at the expense of the com- |monwealth, a secret until after the |interment. | The only attendants at the ceme- |tery were the undertaker and an as- sistant, two state welfare investi- gators and Mr. and Mrs. Frank May. | |with whom the girl formerly made her home. | Two physiclans, Dr. Thomas E. | Walsh and Dr. J.

This decision was arrived at late last night after a sitting of the cabinet council had a conference with President Doumergue and M. Moreau, governor of the bank of France. The new ministers were understood to have considered the situation of the French treasury to be 8o serious that no time should be lost in obtaining from parlia- ment authority to take remedial fmeasures, Both houses of parlia- ment were therefore summoned to mest at § o'clock this afternoon. What remedial measures are to be asked are not exactly known, for the government has issued a comprehensive denfal of all the memasures attributed to it, as well e other reports flying about. The: included one that the ministry was about to resign, owing to divergen- cies of opinlon between the min- isters, without appearing before the chamber and another that a phys cal attack had been made upon M. Herriot. It appears, however, that the government favors consolidation of the floating debt and a moratorium o relieve the growing pressure upon the treasury. Whatever the program ls, however, Premier Her- riot will make it a question of con- fidence and ask the chamber to signify whether it supports his way of thinking or not without further delay. Works All Night The government's eleventh hour change of plan to go before the chamber compelled M. De Monzie, the new minister of finance, to spend all last night in completing his financial measures, the broad lines of which were approved at last night's cabinet council. The finished article will be submitted final approval by the cablnet this afternoon, just prior to being read to parliament. Meanwhile M Herriot is to have another con sation with M. Moreau. The minf terial statement of policy proper, it is understood, consists of not more than 50 lines, serving as a preface to M. De Monzie's financial proposal.

Preceded by the meetings of the corn belt committee and the eleven state committees of 22, which agreed upon a deflnite program of farm legislation and censured both major parties for ‘“abandoning campaign promises,” the state republican con- vention assembled today with pros- ts of factional gquarrels being de-tracked, possibly ignored, while the principal issue in the mid-west —agriculture—is discussed in detail. The corn belt committee, com- posed of farm and co-operative or- tee of 22 named at the agricultural conference here last winter, conclud- led thelr sessions yesterday. They outlined a program of farm legislation identical with that re jected by the last congress | which is essentially “protection for |all industries, agriculture included as a peer, or as a last resort, pro- tection for none.” The corn belt committee also took |steps toward a closer alliance of the western republican corn belt and the southern democratic cotton belt when plans were laid to hold meet- ings in border states before the next session of congress. That attention of the republican convention is to be centered on farm relief has been predicted by Dan W. Turner, of Corning, Keynter, i Col. Smith W. Brookhart, storm center of the party for two years, and now senatorial nominee for the hird time in six ye Mr. Turner indicated he would at- tempt to place the party in Iowa | solidly behind the fight for farm re- |lief and at the same time urge com- |plete harmony in the ranks. Col. |Brookhart, an ardent farm relief proponent, again declared he would “continue the fight on issues” with- out thought of the party 8rganiza- tlon, WHITTEMORE DEATH CARDS Ask Witnesses to Be at Prison By 11:30 P.
