Attack on Four-Power Pact
Pressed in Senate.
LODGE ANSWERS CHARGE
Denials by Secretary or State as to
Negotiations Are Held
Inconceivable.
WASHINGTON, D. C, March 10.
Opponents of the four-power treaty,
pressing- their attack on the manner
in which the treaty was negotiated.
declared on the senate floor today
that the American delegation to the
arms conference not only concealed
knowledge of the negotiations from
the public, but was responsible for the
dissemination of misleading reports
concerning them.
At the time when the treaty's con
elusion was imminent,' Secretary
Hughes, it was asserted by Senator
Robinson, democrat, Arkansas, told
newspaper correspondents that he had
no knowledge of any such project.
As a result, the Arkansas senator de
clared, the press not only was in
accurately Informed, but newspaper
men assigned to the conference suf
fered professionally because they
placed reliance on what Mr. Hughes
told them.
Denials Held Inconceivable.
That the secretary of state had
made such, denials was characterized
bv Senator Lodge, republican. Mass a
chusetts, another member of the
American delegation, "as inconceiv
able." Mr. Lodge declared that the
project for a Pacific concord had been
discussed by him with Mr. Hughes
before the conference began. &en
ator Robinson's charge was made dur
ine- a brief flurry of debate Just be
fore the treaty was laid aside for the
day to give right of way to a Judiciary
bill.
At first the administration leaders
had opposed interruption of the treaty
discussion to take up the bill, but so
many senators asked for more time
to prepare their speeches that a truce
was agreed to. Senator Lodge an
nounced, however, that tomorrow he
would insist that the senate reach a
vote on the first of the proposed reser
vations.
Underwood to Make Address.
The democratic leader. Senator Un
derwood of Alabama, also a member
of the arms delegation. Is to make a
prepared address on the treaty as
soon as tomorrow's session begins.
Several of the "irreconcilaoles" op
posing the treaty have been waiting
to hear Mr. Underwood s speech be
fore preparing their own.
The first reply to the minority lead
er is expected to be made Monday by
Senator Johnson, republican, California.
latter arrived here. Kennedy refused
to do eo, she said, believing the man
she wanted him to meet was Oben
chain, she said. In answer to the
question whether she had ever been
in Burch's room, standing at the win
dow with him, her reply was "No."
It was following her cross-ezamina
tion with reference to Burch that
counsel for the state suddenly pro
pounded his questions as to whether
a marriage between Kennedy and Mrs,
Obenchain had ever been performed
by the captain of a ship while out on
the ocean.
Mrs. Obenchain testified that she
Jiad no recollection of being In the
district attorney's office on August 6,
1921, the day following the killing.
She said she could not recall making
a statement to officers at that time,
but would not deny making one
Asked when it was that she lost her
recollection of events on the night
of the killing, she replied:
"When I touched Betton."
She testified yesterday that she
EXPULSION CASE ARGUED
Lawyer Seeks Restraining Order
to Stay in Church.
NEW YORK. March 10. Supreme
Court Justice Newburger today heard
arguments in an action brought by
Walter Fairchild, a lawyer, to com
pel trustees of the First Church of
Christ, Scientist, to show cause why
they should not be restrained from ex
pelling him from membership in the
church.
The justice reserved decision.
Fairchild, who was counsel for Mrs.
Augusta Stetson in the long litigation
that followed her expulsion for "her
esy," la accused of violating the laws
of the church in adhering to Mrs.
.Stetson.
MRS. OBENCHAIN GRILLED
(Continued From First Page.)
October 4, 1919, to obtain a divorce.
She recited again that Kennedy ex
pected to come to her there as soon
as the divorce was obtained and that
their marriage was to follow. When
'ie did not arrive when the divorce
was granted, she said she then gave
ip expecting him. "I knew Belton's
nind was being poisoned against me
at home," she said.
Health Sought In California.
Her reason for coming to California
'n January, 1921, as testified to yes
terday, was on account of her health
:vnd to visit friends. She had no in
tention of ever resuming her former
relations with Kennedy, she said, but
about April 1 they came to another
agreement to be married.
On May 6 they were to take sep
arate trains to San Francisco, she
said, and the marriage was to take
iiace there. She then told of remem
bering her promise to Obenchain
'.hat she would consult him before
narrying anyone and of telephoning
TCennedy just before she boarded' the
train for Chicago.
At this point in her testimony the
irosecution brought out the fact that
ihe expected Kennedy to follow her
Chicago and marry her there. Ken
nedy's telegrams to her, received
. hortly after her arrival in Chicago,
In which he gave sickness as his
excuse for not coming, were read to
ihe Jury. She testified that they then
tgreed she was to go to San Fran
uisco, and he was to join her there.
Marriage Hopes Given Up.
On arriving in San Francisco and
being told by her friend, Mrs. Mabel
Demond, that Kennedy's mother had
"attacked her character," she testified
she then gave up all hope of ever
marrying Kennedy.
In answer to the prosecution's ques
tions. Mrs. Obenchain again went over
in detail her relations with Burch.
Hhe told again of meeting him at the
train, when he arrived here last July,
and that he did not have a gun case
as a part of his hand baggage. It is
the claim of the state that Burch
carried with him on his trip west the
gun with which, it asserts, Kennedy
was killed. She said that she was
"surprised" when Burch told her later
that hf. had obtained a room at a
hotel across the street from Ken
nedy's office, though she testified yes
terday that she mentioned the hotel
to him.
She again asserted that her rela
tionship with Burch was nothing more
than friendship.
Love for Arthur Denied
"I know I never loved Arthur," she
said, referring to Burch.
"Was Burch in love with you?" she
was asked.
"No, I don't believe he was," she
replied.
. She again told of her automobile
rides with Burch the first week he
was here, of her conversations with
him In which she told him of her
relations with Kennedy, and of Burch's
promise to see Kennedy in her behalf.
She denied that she had sent for Burch
to come west.
"Did you at any time ask Burch to
watch Kennedy's movements?" she
was asked. Her answer was "No."
She told of her efforts to get Ken
nedy to meet Burch shortly after the

today.
For 1 years Archibald Herron of

The electrocution was stayed sev

He had only 15 cents when he left

DRENCHING DUE ON COAST
WASHINGTON, D. C. March 10.
Announcement by Chairman Fordney
that the house ways and means com
mitter would meet Monday, instead of
tomorrow, to consider the compromise
soldier bonus bill, was the chief de
velopment today In the bonus situa
tion. Inability of several committee mem
bers to be on hand tomorrow prompt
ed postponement of the meeting, ac
cording to the chairman, who de
clared, however, that the delay in ob
taining committee action on the bill
would In no way affect the pro
gramme which calls for a vote in the
house within ten days. 1
Favorable report Monday by the
committee of the revised bill, which
provides for issuance of adjusted com
pensation certificates to war veterans
is assured, republican and democratic
committee members agreed. They
generally were of the opinion that no
further changes of consequence would
be made in the measure.
Majority for Bill.
Several committee members are ex
pected to vote against reporting the
bill to the house, but a safe majority
is said to feel that the measure is a
satisfactory" compromise.
Mr. Fordney on his return late
today from a western trip, refused to
comment on the announced inten
tion of Controller of the Currency
Crisslnger to advise national banks,
in the event the bill is enacted with
out material change, not to accept
certificates as security for loans to
former service men.
Mr. Fordney declared, however, he
was certain loans to war veterans
would in no way seriously affect the
credit of banks making the loans.
Governor Harding, of the federal re
serve board, he added, had expressed
approval of the loan provisions, and
offered no objection to the measure
on the ground that loans would re
sult in "frozen credits," as contended
by Mr. Crisslnger. .
Vote March 20 Likely.
Representative Mondell, republican
leader, said today that plans for a
house vote on the bill under suspen
sion of the rules March 20, were un
changed. As this programme would
bar - amendments, leaders expressed
the opinion that there was no possi
bility of a tax-raising provision being
attached.
With debate limited to less than an
hour under the suspension of the
rules programme, various members of
the house are expected to take ad
vantage of lulls in debate on other
measures during the coming week to
air their views on the bonus ques
tions. Several members- are said to
be planning to comment on the stand
taken by Controller Crissinger. ' .'
Amendment of"tho bill to provide
for the issuance- of adjusted compen
sation certificates to the heirs or
estates of service men who died dur-
ng the war or who may die before
the act becomes effective, was advo
cated today by Representative An
drew, republican, Massachusetts. In a
letter addressed to all members of
the house.
Amendment Is Urged. '
Omission from the bill of such a
provision, Mr. Andrew contended, "in
volves injustice, has no warrant in
logic and ought to be rectified before
the bill is presented to a vote- of the
house." '
"The bill provides," Mr. Andrew's
letter stated, "that in case a veteran
applies for adjusted compensation and
dies before receiving it, the compen
sation to which he was entitled, but
which he had not received, shall be
paid to a designated beneficiary or
failing that, to his estate; but on the
other hand, if he died during the war
or since the war and before the act
goes into effect, and so never had a
chance to file an application, no pro
vision is made to pay his adjusted
compensation to his heirs or estate."
war and for a number of years there
was a period of under-building. With
Jow prices and with plenty of labor at
hand the moment has arrived to open
up. I do not believe the prices of
materials and labor will go any
lower and this belief is borne out
by the willingness of banks to back
building programmes. '
"In addition the war took- the
young blood out of the country and
there is a shortage of apprentice
labor. A building revival is sure to
come sooner or later, but if it comes
too suddenly and the' present condi
tions are not taken advantage of,
a labor shortage will result and labor
costs will again soar."
I. JT. Day of Portland Speaks. '
In the afternoon I. N. Day of Port
land spoke, substantiating the opin
ions of previous speakers on public
building and declared against the so
called public official contractors and
said that building by the public with
out reference to the bits of private
contractors was usurpation of public
funds and the forerunner of socialism.
The election committee reported
yesterday on Its selection of the
board of directors, whose names fol
low: Natt McDougall, Portland; R. M.
Miller, Seattle; JD. G. Munroe, Spo
kane; J. M. Clifton, Spokane; T. A.
Huetter, Spokane; I. N. Day, Portland;
G. W. Gauntlett, Hoquiam; H. T.

Carlson, Spokane, and J. M. Dugan
of Portland.
The second and last day of the con
vention will be today. The morning
will be given over to three addresses,
one by L. H. Lloyd on bonds and in
surance, another by O. G. Hughson on
public official contractors and the
third by R. P. Duncan of Olympia,

be devoted to general business and

Tell of Tossing 80 Hours on

ST. JOHNS, N. B., March 10. Eighty
hours of hunger and exposure in a
storm-tossed lifeboat on the Atlantic
were recounted today by the skipper
and crew of the 200-ton schooner
Eileen Lake, which sprang a leak
off the Newfoundland coast January
19, and was abandoned. The captain
G. H. Hornsworthy, and his men were
picked up by the Belgian steamer
Persier and taken to Antwerp. Today
they were brought back by the
Corsican. ,
"After leaving the distressed schoon
er it was a hard fight to keep the
frail craft from being swamped by
the high . waves, the skipper said.
George Foresew, the cook, dropped
dead among his companions and was
buried at sea.
' On the second day a ship passed
without seeing the frantic signals of
the men. The succeeding night the
Belgian steamer Persier was signaled
and took them aboard. The Corsican
also brought from Antwerp the ship
wrecked captain and crew ol the
three-masted schooner Optimist, of
Newfoundland, which lost her sails
and began leaking January 26, while
en route hera from Spain with a cargo
of salt.
Drifting helplessly and with life
boats smashed, the Optimist was
sighted by the steamer , Ampetico
January 28. Captain John Evans of
the Optimist decided his vessel would
not remain afloat many more hours,
whereupon he and his crew boarded
the Ampetico and arrived in Antwerp

SACRAMENTO, Cal., March 10.
H. E. Parker, automobile salesman
of this city, today told newspaper
men and the police that he could not
account for the suicide of Miss Per
dita Oreilly of San Francisco, who
took poison and died in a hotel here
last night. -
In a note written before she took
the poison the young woman re
proached Parker, who is a son of
Assemblyman Parker of Auburn.
, Parker, in his statement today, de
clared he met the young woman a
year ago, and that he had received
several letters from her of an af
fectionate nature. He asserted she
was of a melancholy disposition.
The girl's note said:
"You are a coward and everything
is bad and false. You know you
were lying when you say I did not
try to forget. Those little hands
and perhaps several pairs will be
before you when you die and you will
never have good luck."

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 10.
The strike vote of soft coal miners
was completed tonight by local unions
scattered throughout the country. Al
though the exact returns will not be
known for a week, officials of the
United Mine Workers of America here
believed that nine-tenths or more of
the workers cast their ballots for a
walkout on April 1, unless a new
wage agreement is made in the mean
time.
Chances of getting a wage confer
ence with the operators of the central
competitive field, comprising western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illi
nois, seemed remote to the union
chiefs, for no change in the attitude
of operators opposing an interstate
conference resulted from the appeal
of Secretary of Labor Davis asking
the two sides to get together. The
only possibility of a conference as
viewed by union officials was for the
government calling both operators
and miners to Washington, but no one
at union headquarters had any infor
mation that such a call was contem
plated. What may happen in the Pennsyl
vania anthracite field depends on the
outcome between the union officials
and operators at New York next
Wednesday.
- 'Tabulation of the strike vote will
be begun next Thursday.

similar bill was in the senate re
cently and the rules committee thus
far has refused to allow it to be re

CHICAGO, March 10. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Cyril Woodward Club
ley Armstrong, self-made Chicago
lawyer, whose struggle for a living
has been only moderately successful,
today was informed that he is sole
heir to an English earldom, but the
news had little effect on him, for he
calmly informed newspaper reporters
that he already possessed the great
est title in the world that of Amer
ican citizen and desired no other.
Mr. Armstrong received a communi
cation which had been sent to friends
of his by the consular department in
Washington in response to queries
from relatives in India, asking that he
be located. He produced many letters
and documents to prove that he was
the man eought, but said he knew
nothing of the title he is supposed to
have inherited, for he became sep
arted from his family when a child
and had worked his way up to mem
bership in the bar through night
schools.
Newspapers Previously Sold.
Previously he sold newspaper sub
scriptions for a living, worked on Ca
nadian farms and finally became a re
porter on the Quincy, 111., Whig Jour
nal. The letter asking that Mr. Arm
strong be traced was written by Orran
Phoenson. British vice-consul in
charge at Nairobi, East Africa, to the
state department at Washington. It
stated that the Armstrongs recently
had fallen heir to an earldom, that
Cyril was the immediate heir and that
his younger brother, Captain St. John
Shelverton, was seeking Cyril. The
letter was forwarded by Washington
to Mayor P. J. O'Brien of Quincy, who
located Armstrong in Chicago.
Nothing Known of Title. "
"I know nothing of the title," said
Mr. Armstrong today, "but I do know
that I am the Armstrong sought. If
the reports of a title prove correct
well, I'll cross that bridge when I
come to it. I came to this country, j
became an American citizen, fought
my way up to a position of respect
in this community, and it will always
be foremost in my mind that I hold
the greatest title in the world that
of American citizen. This is a bad
day for any other title and I have no
desire to change.
"Mv father's name was, I think
William George Armstrong. He died
when I was so young that I don't
remember. I had two younger
brothers William Lawrence and
Captain St- John Shelverton. My
mother remarried and St. John took
his stepfather's name.
. Birthplace In' India.
"When I was about 9 years of age
my uncle, Lawrence Hennessy Club
ley Armstrong, a noted civil engineer,
took ' me to - England from India,
where I was born about 1880. I went
to school at St. .Marks, Windsor,
England, and Quernmore House, at
Bromley. I didn t muke much prog
ress in my Btudies, so my uncle sent
me to Canada when I was 16. I
worked on a farm near Norwich, Ont.
for two years, and later became sub
scription solicitor for a newspaper.
I came to the United States then, go
ing to work as a cub reporter In
Quincy when I was about 21.
'I determined. to do better and went
to night school, finally being ad
mitted to the bar in 1908. I came
to Chicago in 1913 and have been
practicing law here since.
Brother's Death Learned.
Mr. Armstrong learned of his sec
ond brother's death in France in the
war, through the communications re
ceived today. Mr. Armstrong tried
twice to enlist in the American army
in the war and once in the Canadian
army, butwas rejected. ,
Mr. Armstrong denied his identity
when he found a dozen newspaper re
porters waiting in his office, but
when they refused to leave he finally
said:
Well, let's have It over with, boys.
I'm Armstrong."
"Your grace," began a reporter.
"Can the grace business," he broke
in. "I just told you I was Armstrong,
didn't I? Maybe I will be 'his grace,"
but not yet." ;
