STATE ENDS CASE
IN BURCH TRIAL
Br fr4 Weoeward
special CaRMpraarat Uanmtl Serrlc
' Lot JLngelea, Dec 19. The prosecu
tion, after making- reservation by
"Which it later may call a witness, now
fll, haa completed its case against
Arthur C Burch, on trial for the murder
of 3. Belton Kennedy on Aug. 8, last.
The Christmas epirft then made Itself
felt !n the courtroom and largely was
responsible for an adjournment of court
until 10 a. m. next Monday morning.
: At the aame time Paul Scheack, at
torney for Burch, who suggested the
pre-Christmaa holiday, explained he was
near exhaustion from the long work of
the trial, which befran - November 22.
IHstrict" Attorney Woolwine also has
been adrtaed by his physician to rest for
a few days. '
Judge Sidney N. Reeye was reluctant
to adjourn for so long a time, but finally
he turned to the Jurors and asked their,
.desires. They were unanimously In
favor of the holiday. There were smiles
and numerous remarks concerning
Christmas . shopping. .
- For the- time being it appeared that
inoet everyone In the courtroom had for
gotten the tragedy that necessitated the
trial and the fact that there was present
one man whose life hangs in the balance.
' One of the last witnesses called by the
state was Mrs. J. D. Kennedy, mother
of the slain man. She is a frail woman
and was dressed entirely in black, with
a heavy mourning veil hanging from her
hat Her husband assisted her to the
Witness stand.
In a low voice Mrs. Kennedy told of
Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain; the woman
principal in the tragedy who awaits
triakas co-defehdant with Burch. having
visited her home. The mother was not
cross-examined by attorneys for the de
fendant. When the trial is resumed next week
attorneys for the defense are to present
motions to strike from the record much
testimony, including the many love let
ters of Mrs. Obenchain.

Disabled Vets May
Reinstate Insurance
Under New Ruling
Disabled veterans drawing government
compensation may reinstate war risk
insurance "after January 1, 1922. despite
the general order relating to disoontinu
anace of war veterans' insurance after
this month, according to an announce
ment made Wednesday by Bradley T.
Fowlkes, head of the insurance division
of the United i States veterans' bureau
in the Pacific Northwest.
"A misunderstanding prevails in the
American Legion and in the public gen
erally to the effect that all war vet
erans will be cut off from opportunity
to secure government insurance after
this month," said Mr. Fowlkea. "This is
not true. Wei interpret the Sweet bill
recently passed by congress to mean
that disabled former service people re
ceiving compensation less than totally or
permanently disabled are eligible for
Insurance after January L The- appli
cant must furnish a full medical exami
nation and pay all back premiums from
the time the insurance lapsed, how

From Portland V Original Upstairs Clothier
This month in 19Q9 just 12 years ago I started in business as a Clothier.
I did not rent an expensive store. I rented a room in the Oregonian building,
20 feet by 24, "UPSTAIRS." My venture was looked upon by competitors
as a crazy idea. How could I get customers to go up to an Office Building and
buy clothing? The fact that I am still in business "UPSTAIRS" with about'
10 times the space and 10 times-the business, speaks volumes for my success.
I am still "UPSTAIRS" because I save thousands of dollars annually in
rent and can keep overhead charges down to a minimum. This saving and
the "quick selling" plan I have of selling many suits on a short profit instead
of a few on a long profit means REAL SAVINGS to my many customers.
I NEVER SELL CLOTHES THAT ARE TOO CHEAP TO BE GOOD
I ONLY SELL STANDARD MAKES
