Old Bogey Fades as Hughes Tells
Nations Arms Are Without Ec&-
nomic Justification and Are a
Constant Menace to Ail Peace.
By David Lawi-eare
(Copjrrieht. 1921. bj The Journal)
Washington, Aug. 13. Preparedness,
of .which so .much was heard first from
Republican spokesmen and later from
Democrats, has received its first solar
plexus from the Harding administration.
Secretary Hughes, in his formal Invita
tion to Great Britain, France, Italy and
Japan to a conference on reduction of
armament, has enunciated a doctrine
which the liberal element has been
preaching ,for years only to be derided
by their opponents.
Armament, in the opinion of Mr.
Hughes, is "not only without economic
justification, but is a constant menace
to the peace of the world rather than
an assurance of Its preservation
There Is a school of thought, even In
the
tiaraing administration, which
doesn't agree with that theory, and in
congress, to be sure, ...there always has
been an element which, like the National
security league and klndsed organiza
tions, insisted that the surest preventive
lor war was preparedness. The naval
and military expenditures of the United
States government has been variously
defended on the ground that it was
necessary to arm against potential foes,
but the Harding administration through
the Hughes note to the powers has
reverted to Woodrow Wilson's theory,
which is that armaments should be re
duced to a point consistent with domestic
'safety that armies should be large
enough only to exercise domestic police
power and that navies should be simply
coast guards. But the decision of the
Harding administration as . reflected In
the Hughes note--to insist that arma
ments are a "constant menace to the

French Premier Vigorously Op

That Rhine Customs Barrier Be

By Webb Miller
(United Pre Staff Correspondent) .
Paris. Aug. 13. (U. P.) The supreme
council, in its final session today, again
reached a deadlock this time over the
question of allied evacuation of German
territory.
Lord Curson, British foreign minister,
urged the immediate evacuation of the
Dusseldorf and Ruhrort areas and the
raising of the Rhine customs barrier,
maintaining that Germany had suffi
ciently proved her good faith in ac
ceptance of the recent allied ultimatum.
Premier Briand vigorously opposed
him. Insisting on continuing the occupa
tion until Germany has given better
proofs. .
The council adjourned for' tea, after
which another attempt will be made to
reacn an agreement. .

The French representatives certainly
will retort that Germany has not lived
up to her promises and that therefore
France must remain within striking dis

It is recalled' that Premier Briand and
Lord Curzon, the British secretary of
state lor foreign affairs, nearly split on
this matter some time back, during Cur
xon's pourparlers on the Near Eastern
situation, held in Paris. It is unlikely
that Briand will recede one whit from
this stand now; especially considering
that President Miller and and the cabi

Litvlnoff, however, accepted the prin

SUPREME COUXCIL DECIDES

Paris, Aug. 13. (L N. S- The su

Russian relief. A commission will be
appointed consisting of three delegates
from each country represented on the
supreme council to aid the relief or

not to allocate credits for Russian relief.
George Harvey, American ambassador
to England and the American delegate
on the supreme council, told his col
leagues that the American government
had received a telegram from M. Tchlt
cherln. the commissar for foreign affairs
in the soviet government, objecting to
outside control of famine relief.
Harvey said the United States be
lieved that without such control assist
ance could not be coordinated and ef
fective.
The Japanese and Italian representa
tives made similar statements in behalf
of their governments.
The Italian delegates said Italy be

OF SUSPECT
Miss Shirley, "Woman of Mys
tery" Gives Lie to. Statements
of William Hightower, Held for
Murder of Coima, Cal., Priest
San Francisco, Aug. 13. Development
after development followed swiftly to
day in the rounding up of evidence
against William Hightower. t suspected
slayer of Father Patrick E. Heslin. kid
naped Colma priest.
Following swiftly ,oa the disclosure
thtt Hightower had a tent which had
been set up close by the grave of the
priest at Salada beach. Doris Shirley,
woman of mystery, was found.
"She cleared up several things," Cap
tain of Detectives Duncan Matheson ad
mitted after two hours conference with
her.
DE2TIES STATEMENTS
"We probably will take Hightower to
San Mateo county today and formally
charge him with the murder of Father
Heslin," announced District Attorney J.
Franklin Swart, In charge of the inves
tigation for that county, on his arrival
at police headquarters.
"We will clear up some things today
and by noon we expect to be in shape
to take decisive action." he. added.
It was learned that Doris Shirley
smashed completely two of Hightower's
strongest alibis. She denied that she
was his companion on a night ride to
San Jose, August 2. when Father Heslin
was kidnaped. She likewise denied that
Hightower had ever introduced her to
Dolly Mason, as he had claimed.
CALLS FOR TTPE WRITER
The Shirley girl hastened here from
Fresno when she learned that ber testi
mony was desired. With her came Lee
Putnam, to whom she is engaged to be
married. The couple will be married as
soon as she completes her testimony at
police headquarters.
Two indications were given that High
tower may be planning a confession.
After refusing breakfast he called for
a typewriter.
Later, he asked, that a writer of news
paper poetry be . sent for. . This writer
was summoned, but said he knew el no
reason way he hould be called except
that ta Hightowefr yoontvar-foiut h
uncompleted letter'1 addressed to .the
writer complimenting him on a poets on
the death of a little boy. The letter was
an expression of. Hightower's views on
death.
Following the-taking of the Shirley
gin s statement the grilling of High
tower was resumed. District Attorney
Swart indicated that it would not be
lengthy and intimated that before night
Hightower would be ' In a San Mateo
county Jail charged with murder.
One of the important moves in the mys
tery was the search for an accomplice
of the murderer. Police expect to find
turn dead. Most of the night Constable
S. A. Landinl of Colma dug In the sand
of Salada beach, where Father Heslin's
body was found, and early today re
turned for rest, confident that he was
near to the finding of the body.
Police believe there were two kidnap
ers, and one killed the other.
WOMAX STILL HISSIXQ
Another phase was the search for
Dolly Mason, who la supposed to have
furnished the Information that led to
the discovery of the grave.
The third had to do with articles
taken from the grave of Father Heslin,
These Included . tent posts, samples of
printing and numerous small articles.
The crude printing, on a tent found in
the room of Hightower tallied remark
ably in its characteristics with the print
ing on the note to Archbishop Hanna
demanding ransom for Father Heslin.
Hightower spent a quiet night under
guard in the city jail.
Father Heslin's funeral will be hela
today. The offices for. the dead were
sung last night at 8 o'clock at St. Marys
cathedral. Today requiem mass was cele
brated at the cathedral. Hundreds at

EQUALITY OF
TAX BURDENS
DECLARED AIM
Administration Satisfied With Re
vised Bill Which Frees Busi
ness of-Trivial Worries, Yet
Promises Necessary Revenues.
By Fraak A. Stetsoa
Washington. Aug. 13. L N. S.)
President Harding believes that highly
important progress along the lines of
tax revision has thus far been accom
plished by his administration.
In a statement issued today from the
White House, it Is . asserted that the
whole tax reform program of the ad
ministration contemplates ' freeing busi
ness from what have been found "para
lysing and exasperating conditions, en
couraging to the utmost the resump
tion of enterprise and business, remov
ing every incentive to evasion and
fraud and distributing the tax burden
with the greatest possible equity' on
those best able to pay."
FAIB DISTRIBUTION AIM
The aim of the administration in its
revenue revision program, according to
the statement, is to establish methods
that would "raise the needed revenue
within reasonable certainty, that would
make collection sure and inexpensive and
that would properly- adjust the - burden
among all classes of the community."
The administration emphasised that
no effort had been made to relieve the
rich of their share of the burdens, that
steps have been taken so that no class
will be left an avenue of escape from
them. The administration claims that
the rich man's taxes under the program
will produce about $1,800,000,000 while
the balance will be distributed over the
entire community amcng rich and poor.
the rich being certain, because they are
proportionately the greatest consumers.

however, how he evaded the- cordon of
officers which was Stationed along his

"Only an abnormal mental twist could
have urged the peculiar mis-step which
caused - Dr. Brumfleld's capture." said
the psychologist today. ,

It was Brumfleld's ' strange desire to
obtain possession of a parcel of woman's

Creek on the afternoon of June 13 the'
day Russell -was murdered which' led
to- his capture.

'The dentist might just as well have

as a clue .which would' ev-r lead to

It overcame this misapprehension. The

Brumfleld was found Friday , after
noon following a four-horse plow on the
farm of B. Yader. south of .Calgary, by
Mounted Police . Sergeant .Oliver of
Banff and Detective Walugh of the
Calgary police force. There was a
month's growth of beard on his-face,
but one glance sufficed to show that he
corresponded with the picture oa the
thousands of circulars which .were sent
out calling for his arrest.

he said to the officer. , . , , -
-'Later. In the police cells, he admitted
he was Dr. Brumfleld. - ,
Cnder the mattress of the bed which
Brumfleld, has ..occupied at the - Vader

which the prisoner admitted, he . had
written with the Intention of sending to
District Attorney, Neuner at Roseburg.
The letter was intended to convey the
Impression that the writer was Dennis '
Russell, and that it was a confession of
the murder of Dr. Brumfleld. i ;
' The letter said in part: - v- ' ; J
