REPUBLICAN CHIEFS CONFER
By Ihc Associated Pres
London, Aug. 20. Dispatches from
Dublin to London newspapers rellcct
pessimism over tho Irish situation in
Tlew of lntest developments.
Henry W. Ncvlnson. wnr corre
spondent nnd nutlior, telegraphing the
Dnlly Hernld, sn.vs tlie situation Is
"tindonlitedly very serious," und tlmt
lie Is "unnhle to see hope ns brightly
ns come do." He ndmits, however,
some liope still exists.
"If the Irish Rennbllrnn lenders,"
his dispatch continues, "frame the reply
to Great Urltnln's terms mid Hilbmlt It
to tho Dnll Klrcnnu for approval,
rnthcr tlinn discussion. It almost fer
tolnly will bo accepted with minor niter
atinns, "The members of the Dnll Elrennn
ore. for the most pnrt, neoustomed to
discipline nnd were elected or appointed
for field service. The danger to further
negotiations nud n subsequent peace
comes from the Influence of theorists
and doctrinaires acting upon the spirit
of militarism."
In discussing the prospect if nego
tiations fall, Ncviuson declared:
"If the trurc be broken, wur In Its
most terrible form will sweep through
Ireland Civil wnr will be added to
national wnr, and all who refuse to
support the Republican Arm will be
driven from the country or shot."
The Dublin correspondent of the
Dally News says Prime Minister Lloyd
George Is being charged with "rnttllns
tho saber" In his address yesterday In
the House of Commons. He snjs the
speech uiny do lutiulte harm.
"It is a fact." he adds, "thnt a sec
tion of the Irish Republican lenders
has been plnying the dangerous pome of
bluff In order to secure better terms. It
wa3 desirable thnt Great llrltnlu make
tho plainest possible declaration that
the trt-ms submitted were the very best
possible.
"I'nhnppl'y, however, Prime Minister
Lloyd George coupled his declaration
with threats which will more than coun
teract the Influence for good. There Is
a general opinion that the consequences
are likely to be fatal."

WOMEN TO AID DEFENSE
I-os Angeles, Aug. 20. The life of ,L
Helton Kennedy Is to be lnld bare.
Women who pleased his fancv will be
brought forwnrd to describe ills chnr
ncter. They will be expected to aid the
defense In the trial of Madalynne Oben
chnln and Arthur C. llurch, jointly in
dicted for his murder.
Ralph Obcnchnln Is the mnn who is
delving Into the secret loves of the
dend tnan. He is trying to nnvc bis
former wife, pretty Mndnlynne. He
believes he will be nble to find the real
slaver of Kennedy.
Obenchnin said :
"if Kenuedy hnd the sort of past
we nre told ho hnd It must be brought
out."
Hnd Many Loves
And so the Investigators went to
work. Accordlng-to the popular report,
they nre the same investlgntors who
solved the notorious "bluebeard mtir
der" myi,tery In these pnrts. It may he
stated with u certain degree of surety
that Attorney Obenchnin himself peeled
off the first lnycr thnt might show the
"nystem" of the mnn who robbed him
temporarily, nt least of his life's hap
piness. These investigators nre tiringiug in
the sheave. of their peculiar activities.
It was. according to their own repnrts(
n simple task. Tlie women ,T. Helton
Kennedy knew In his lifetime werr
easy to find.
There is tlie case of n young woman.
a friend of .tiaciniynne s, w wnoni
Kennedy Is said to hnve made love
even during the time be wns protest
ing his undjlng ndorntion of the North
western University co-ed.
Gay Parties At Ilungalotv
The statement of one woman is
looked upon ns of the most vital im
portance, becnuse It shows that the
bungalow at Heverly Glen biipposed
to hnvo been deserted wns always
ready for the "entertainment" of what
random clients Kennedy might bring
to its portals.
Investigators for the defense were
especially interested in the police re
port made by Kennedy himself n week
or two before bis death. He was driving
with the usual young woman when
his car wns bnlted by men who drove
In front of hla mnchine. To all intents
it was n hold-up. Hut the "highwny
men" 'took none of the money carried
by Kennedy. They just "bent him up."
Two weeks lefore the shooting, nc-
cordlng to another young woman, a
shotgun roared behind one of the mil
lion palms thnt fringe the Los Angeles
roadway. Kennedy jerked out the au
tomatic pistol he always carried and the
second shot missed.
Tells of Repairing Gtinstock
Authorities were informed today of
n gunsmith, R. C. King, who snysthnt
a week before the killing of the broker
ho repaired nn old-fnsbioned double
bnrrcled shotgun stock for u young and
apparently "well-to-do" customer.
It Is nn old-fnshloned shotgun stock,
minus two barrels, which the District
Attorney's office lias been holding for
several dnys. It was found August (J
on the bench ut Snntn Monica.
King said that only the stock of the
gun, wrapped in a newspaper was
brought to his place. The young man
who brought it, lie said, gave the name
ot "Harker" without Initials, lie said
he could not positively Identify Arthur
C. Hurch from photographs ns the mnn
who asked thnt it be repaired. It is
expected King will be given nu oppor
tunity to visit Hurch in the county
jail today.
This is tlie third day since Ralph R.
Obenchnin, attorney for his former
wife, was quoted as saying In five dnys
the innocence of Mrs. Obrnehuin, iis
well as that of Hurch would be definite
ly established by the Jailing of another
person or persons.

ls that it is a half holiday, nud nfter
one of tlie most strenuous weeks which
tlie men hnvo yet put in, they are more

Tlie tnsk of preventing the outbreak

All relief shipments will be trans

the exterior only of tho hole scooped
into tho hillside. They insisted that
they had not looked insldo to sec
whether the tiny chnmbcr was stuffed
with gold eagles nnd double eagles or
