STATE TIGHTENS NET OF EVIDENCE AROUND BURCH IN MURDER CASE
Prosecution Prepares To Show Motive For Crime When Court Opens Monday—No Session Today.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3.—With no court session in the Arthur C. Burch murder case slated for today, the prosecution was preparing to present on Monday the fourth and most difficult point in its array of circumstantial evidence.
This point is the motive.
The state will attempt to show by John B. Kennedy, and possibly by Mrs. Kennedy, father and another of the murdered broker, that Madalynne Obenchain had an uncanny influence over their son and that they tried vainly to break off his affair with the beautiful divorcee.
Influenced Burch Too
Other wittiness will be called to prove that Madalynne had an equally strong influence over Arthur C. Burch—an influence strong enough to make him come to Los Angeles at her

This point is the motive.
The state will attempt to show by John B. Kennedy, and possibly by Mrs. Kennedy, father and another of the murdered broker, that Madalynne Obenchain had an uncanny influence over their son and that they tried vainly to break off his affair with the beautiful divorcee.
Influenced Burch Too
Other witnesses will be called to prove that Madalynne had an equally strong influence over Arthur C. Burch—an influence strong enough to make him come to Los Angeles at her request and aid her in accomplishing the death of young Belton Kennedy.
Already the prosecution has built up three of the four walls with which it proposes to hem in Burch from all possible escape.
Brought Gun With Him
It has made out the following case:
1. That Burch came from Chicago at Madalynne's request and that he brought a shotgun with him.
2. That the two alleged conspirators kept an almost daily watch over the offices of Kennedy, the victim.
3. That Burch rented an automobile from a local garage on the night of the murder, and that the speedometer of the machine afterward showed it had been driven the exact distance rom Los Angeles to Beverly Glen, and return by way of Santa Monica.
Young Kennedy was shot to death while in company with Madalynne near his summer cottage in the Glen.

SINN FEIN CABINET TO HEAR PEACE OFFER OF LLOYD GEORGE
DUBLIN, Dec. 3.—The Sinn Fein cabinet met here today to hear the reports of the London peace delegates on the latest offer of Premier Lloyd George.
A favorable decision will lay the basis for renewed hope but if the plan is rejected serious consequences were feared.
Terms Outlined
LONDON, Dec. 3.—Sinn Fein has been offered an "Irish free state" with in the empire, with a legal dominion status effective one year from the date of its acceptance and the provision that Ulster can enter after six months, the London Times declared here today in a suposed outline of the details of the latest offer of Premier Lloyd George.
The plan being considered by the Dial cabinet in Dublin today specifies that Ulster would retain all her financial rights, it was stated.
The details of the proposals as outlined by the Times are:
Ulster shall collect all revenues, remitting any surplus to an all-Irish parliament.
The all-Irish council could not tax materials or imports from Great Britain.
There shall be no religious endowments made by the parliament.
No qualifications of the agreement could be changed by action of the parliament after acceptance.
Ireland would have a triple oath of allegiance to the "Irish free state, the empire and the king."
Two Armies Provided
Ireland and Ulster would have territorial armies proportionately.
A boundry commission of three representatives from England, Sinn Fein and Ulster will be appointed.
The south of Ireland shall submit the proposals to a general election before the all-Irish parliament can be established.
Unofficial predictions were made here that if Sinn Fein accepts the proposals, Britain will enforce them regardless of Ulster, without attempt to "coerce" her.
More Colorado Coal Companies Cut Wages
Representatives of the state department of agriculture have discovered the Mealy bug in some of the orchards in the vicinity of Anaheim, and a meeting of orange growers was held at the Chamber of Commerce rooms last night for the purpose of taking steps to combat this pest before it spreads into other groves.
Fifty growers, heads of the horticultural department of the county, and experts from the State Insectory at Whittier attended the meeting.
The Lady bug is the natural enemy of the Mealy bug, it was pointed out, and it is only through the propagation of the Lady bugs, liberating them in the orchards, that it is hoped to control the new pest. Fumigation kills only from 50 to 75 percent of the Mealy bugs, according to experts, and as they greed from three to four generations a year with a progeny of six hundred, it is not possible to eradicate the pest by fumigation.
The growers last night resolved to ask the board of supervisors of Orange County for an appropriation to maintain a man at the state insectory at Whittier to superintend the propagation of Lady bugs for Orange County. Later it may be decided to place active seekers of office in the field.
Mrs. Paul Tedrick, old friends of the couple, will be the attendants.
The bride and groom will leave immediately after the ceremony for a honeymoon trip of ten days in Southern California. On their return, they will make their home in Anaheim.
Miss Evans is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Evans, pioneer residents of this city. She was graduated from the Anaheim Union High School in 1915 and later attended the University of Southern California where she became a member of the Chi Delta Phi sorority. She has been society editor of the Anaheim Daily Herald for more than a year.
Miss Evans is one of Anaheim's most beautiful and most popular girls. She is a talented singer and is always in demand on local musical and dramatic programs. She is a student in voice culture at Ellis Rhodes studio of Santa Ana.
Mr. Sutherland is the son of the Rev. C. H. Sutherland of Santa Monica. He came to California from Canada several years ago and lived in Anaheim about ten years. He served two years in the United States army during the World War, after resigning as manager of the General Petroleum Oil Company of Anaheim. Recently he has been engaged in the tractor business in Northern Orange County.

CALIFORNIA HESITATES TO ACCEPT BID TO PLAY W. AND J.
BERKELEY, Cal., Dec. 3.—California was still undecided today whether to accord the Tournament of Roses committee's invitation to play the Washington and Jefferson college eleven at Pasadena on New Years day.
Although a satisfactory financial arrangement is reported to have been reached with the tournament committee, the Bruin athletic board is keenly disappointed that a small institution like Washington and Jefferson was chosen to represent the east-west game.
California, it was learned today, is seriously considering whether the game will be worth while. Several members of the athletic board are known to feel that the Bruin prestige in the gridiron world would be injured rather than aided by playing the Pennsylvania college.
This group feels that California already has all the prestige it needs as undefeated conqueror of the west for two years and that the Washington and Jefferson game would mean but little to gain and much to lose to the Bruins. Very little is known of Washington and Jefferson by the western public generally. As one sporting writer said, all that California knows about Washington and Jefferson is that they are both dead."
