GIRL RETELLS STORY OF KENNEDY MURDER LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9.—Doggedly refusing to divulge any information which might incriminate Arthur C. Burch, her former college chum, Mrs. Medalynne Obenchain today, retold the story of her love for Kennedy that ended with his assassination at his lonely cottage in Beverly Hills. Asked at a real time she had last seen Burton previous to the shooting, she said only, "I prefer not to answer." She also refused to state whether she had ever visited Burch at his room at a downtown hotel, but she admitted that she knew he stayed there. The welding of the smaller links in the chain of evidence surrounding Mrs. Obenchain and Burch featured today's investigation of the murder. Although the bars were let down by Blacilius, and Mrs. Obenchain Mother Colony, the Sunkist grade of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Assn., has sold for $5.15 f. o. b. Anaheim within the last week and the price continues to climb. Other brands and grades are in proportion. With prices for every other product flattened out in the cast, the orange market continues to climb in August, most unusual month of all for such a course, largely because of the absence of deciduous fruits from the commission houses due to the damaging frosts of last spring. Letters from eastern people to Anaheim friends dwell on the difficulty in obtaining any kind of fruit for canning purposes. The only trouble of local packing house managers is to keep growers from getting excited and rushing their fruit onto the market. "If we nurse the market, the chances are we're going to see still higher prices before the season ends," declared one packer today.

Aked at that time she had last seen Bu on previous to the shooting, she said only. "I prefer not to answer." She also refused to state whether she had ever visited Burch at his room at a downtown hotel, but she admitted that she knew he stayed there. The welding of the smaller links in the chain of evidence surrounding Mrs. Obenchain and Burch featured today's investigation of the murder. Although the bars were let down by Blackburn and Mrs. Obenchain was allowed to receive calls at the Burich was kept incommunicado, one will be allowed to see him any circumstances, according to the orders issued. Mrs. Obenchain said today that she had not seen her attorney, Warren Willingham, since yesterday. In her conversation with her interviewers, she told a straight-forward story with the exception that when pressed for information regarding Burch, she remained silent. On the night of the murder, she said, she was standing on the porch when she first heard a strange voice in the brush below. She heard a shot fired, she said, but did not see the flash of the shiggun. 200 JAPS DEAD AND INJURED IN BLAST TOKIO: Aug. 3.—An explosion in the Hinokawa artillery magazine is reported to have killed or injured over 200 persons.

ORANGE COUNTY Plain Dale LEADING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Tuesday, August 9, 1921 Y. M. C. A. Boys Expect Big Time at Camp Lewis SHOOT FROM LEFT, HIT DEER ON RIGHT Paul Tedrick, James Sutherland and Fred Weisel are back from a hunting trip to Kern-co. They got a deer all right, a big five-pointer weighing 300 pounds, and there really was no necessity for an alibi or any yarn, but they had to relate one nevertheless. The story runs as follows: They made camp about 4 p.m. and started out to look around a little when the buck was sighted on the hillside above them. The buck was running with his left side toward the hunters, circling around them. "Hey, fellers, are you going to Camp Lewis with the bunch?" Not the Camp Lewis of war days, but the Y. M. C. A. mountain camp up above Madam Modjeska's. Applications are already coming in from all over the county for the series of three-day camps being conducted by the Orange-co. Y. M. C. A. during the next three weeks. The dates of the camp are: August 10 to 13; 16 to 19; 23 to 26th. The camp is open to all Y. M. C. A. boys and their friends, and will be under the direction of A. J. Riatt. Hilking, swimming, games, stunts, good eats, with a camp fire program at night assures the boys of a delightful Christian leadership. A program similar to the one followed at Camp Wilkle will be used. The cost of each NEW BILDGON W Announcement of Location of Post-bldg at Clementine-st Starts Bldg Much New Construction The announcement that the bldg had pulled the new postoffice location was followed today by the report that success blocks will be erected on W.C. short time. Construction will be started within a week on the Eisenhauer-bldg. Miss Elise Rust today was in conference with architects on plans for a new building at the southeast corner of Clementine and Center-sts. Miss Rust will probably build back to the next street. John Cassou was reported today to be making arrangements for a modern building at the northwest corner of Clementine and Center-sts where he owns a bakery building and residence to the west. Further west in the same square, Dr. F. H. Houck has stated that he will construct a modern two-story building. He has been waiting for disposition of the postoffice matter. The Plain Dealer hopes to be able to make definite announcement tomorrow of another building project, with construction to start immediately. So the disposition of the postoffice provider and Fred Weisel are back from a hunting trip to Kern-co. They got a deer all right, a big five-pointer weighing 300 pounds, and there really was no necessity for an alibi or any yarn, but they had to relate one nevertheless. The story runs as follows: They made camp about 4 p.m. and started out to look around a little when the buck was sighted on the hillside above them. The buck was running with his left side toward the hunters, circling around them as they poured in volley after volley. Now here's the point, which they solemnly affirm to be true. When they arrived at the carcass they found, that they had been shooting at the left side of the animal, there were two bullet holes on the right side. Apparently one bullet had entered from the right side, been deflected by a rib and left the same side. How can you shoot a deer from the left side and hit it from the right? It's a deep mystery. George and Roger Dutton and E. A. Beard have returned from a successful hunting expedition, bagging two deer, but they didn't shoot any curved bullets and can't expect to get so much space telling about it. MANY GIVEN WORK THRU FARM BUREAU The Orange co. farm bureau has mailed circulators to the ranchers, orange growers and other producers of the county, also to the many industries which require a number of men, calling to their attention the employment bureau recently established by the farm bureau and the California Fruit Growers' exchange. While established little more than a week ago, the new labor office. It was stated, has already justified its existence and has seemed to fill a need in the economical life of the county. Many men have been placed already and the big factor in the success of the venture is that each man is personally selected for his fitness for a particular place. "Everybody is free to call on the office for help, either those desiring work or those needing workmen," said H. F. Jackson, in charge. To the latter is issued a call for listings as it is at present a little caster to find men than jobs. WHEAT HARVEST TO TOTAL 757,000,000 WASHINGTON Aug. 9 — The nation's wheat harvest will total 757,000,000 bushels, the crops estimate bureau forecast today in a report on survey of agricultural conditions as to Aug. 1. The spring wheat crop will comprise 218,000,000 bushels, the bureau predicted, and the winter crop 544,000,000 bushels. A forecast previously issued on the basis of reports all over the county for the series of three-day camps being conducted by the Orange co. Y. M. C. A. during the next three weeks. The dates of the camp are: August 10 to 13; 16 to 19; 23 to 26th. The camp is open to all Y. M. C. A. boys and their friends, and will be under the direction of A. J. Riatt. Hiking, swimming, games, stunts, good eats, with a camp fire program at night assures the boys of a delightful Christian leadership. A program similar to the one followed at Camp Wilkle will be used. The cost of each camp will be $3, and application can be made at the Y. M. C. A. building on So. Philadelphia-st. BEGIN EXCAVATION FOR KRAEMER-BLDG. Workmen today began removal of dirt from the site of the Arnold Kraemer-bldg at the northwest corner of Emily and Center-sts, across the street from the new city hall site. The earth is being removed now because there is demand for it elsewhere and will be out of the way for the basement excavation when construction starts a later time, perhaps after the Samuel Kraemer-bldg gets under way. The Arnold Kraemer-bldg will be occupied by stores on the main floor and offices or lofts on the second. It will be a very attractive building. BARDEEN APPEALS TO HIGHER COURT Attorneys for H. A. Bardeen of Los Angeles, today filed notice of appeal from the judgment recently rendered against their client in a civil action brot by the Texcal Oil and Refining Co. The case is to be carried to the supreme court of the state. The action hinged on the legality of an oil lease covering seven lots in the Garfield addition to Huntington Beach. The Texcal Oil and Refining Co. claimed that they held a bona fida lease on the lots while Bardeen asserted that it was not a lease but an option. He also claimed that the company had defaulted in making certain payments. Superior Judge Z. B. West, before whom the case was tried about a month ago, held that the lease was duly signed and recorded and that it was not an option. He also held that the matter of time was not of the essence of the contract, that the plaintiff performed all conditions of the agreement and that the temporary restraining order which he issued upon the filing of the action should be made permanent. The Texcal company made the claim during the trial that it had spent more than $90,000 in drilling for oil on the lots leased from Bardeen. Modern building at the northwest corner of Clementine and Center-sts where he owns a bakery building and residence to the west. Further west in the same square, Dr. F. I. Houck has stated that he will construct a modern two-story building. The Plain Dealer hopes to be able to make definite announcement tomorrow of another building project, with construction to start immediately. So the disposition of the postoffice seems to have helped considerably in an already very lively movement on W. Center-st. Businessmen generally are noting with interest the well balanced expansion of the business district both east and west on Center-st — the Kraemer-bldg on E. Center-st and the above-mentioned new construction, in addition to the extensive operations of Theodore Roberts on W. Center-st. The new Eisenhauer-bldg will be most attractive, according to plans as prepared by Arthur Hesse, Los Angeles architect, who designed the Ross Bros., bungeal-ct. The exterior will be enameled tile and correspond very closely to the striking new building at Seventh and Spring-sts, Los Angeles. It will be two stories. The main floor will include six storerooms. The postoffice will have about 3500 square feet of floor space at the south end of the building facing Clementine-sts. The Center-st corner Eisenhauer will occupy himself with an ultra modern drug store. A feature will be large amount of plate glass on the Center and Clementine-sides. There will be two more rooms facing Center and two more facing Clementine-sts. All have been leased. The second story will be an apartment hotel of 30 rooms. Mr. and Mrs. Eisenhauer will occupy one suite. All will be finished in most up-to-date style. A feature will be a sun-walk leading back to a large roof-garden over the postoffice room. BIG IMPROVEMENTS AT BOSTON BAKERY Work on the Boston Bakery, owned by Lee Elicholtz, necessitates closing doors for several days, as a large new oven will be built and other improvements made to the place.

McKeown, convicted member of the Irish parliament, whose detention threatened to upset all the negotiations. DON'T CROWD! FAIR BATHERS TO TRY TUB SACRAMENTO, Aug. 9—"Stand back, stand back."

Center-st within a very LOOK OUT FOR No. 1, SAYS SAFETY MAN The feature of the regular weekly meeting of the Kiwanis club at noon today at the high school cafeteria was an address on "Safety first, last and all the time" by Arthur Leffett of the Los Angeles C. of C. and Auto Club of So. Calif. He urged that every school child should be instructed to pay careful attention to cars when crossing the streets, and that everyone be trained into taking care of No. 1 on the streets, that the number of accidents might be lessened. Many accidents are the result of mere carelessness, and could be avoided by care being taken either by the driver or by the one ran over. Kiwanis Organizer Wescott was also present, and made a brief talk. SUPERVISORS REFER TRUCK ORDINANCE BACK TO COMMITTEE Truck Men and Truck Dealers Appear Before Board Today and Suggest Minor Changes Several representatives of the Orange Belt Truckmen's Assn. and several truck dealers today appeared before county supervisors and pledged their support to any county ordinance that may be drafted to limit loading and speed of trucks with a view to saving highways from deterioration. The supervisors took no definite action today on the proposed ordinance, referred it again to the special committees representing Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside-cos. The ordinance now limits speed to 15 miles per hour and gross weight to 23,000 pounds on single unit or 22,000 net fbr truck and trailer. The truckmen protested that a 2-1-2 ton truck at high speed would do more damage than a heavier truck at low speed. Whipping trailers do the most damage of any kind of traffic, it was POOR MAN'S COURT RAPPED BY JUDGES The "porr man's court, or small claims court, as it was officially designated by the last session of the legislature, which created the innovation, is not favored or approved by the majority of the justice of the peace in Orange-co. Some assert that it is unconstitutional, that it will make a collection agency of the justice court and that it will only be a matter of time until it is "kuocked out." District Attorney A. P. Nelson says that he is inclined to think that it is unconstitutional in that it deprives the defendant in a civil action the right of a trial by jury and prohibits either party to an action from employing counsel. "There is no provision in the law requiring the parties involved in the small claim cases to furnish an affidavit showing that they are not financially able to employ counsel," said Nelson. "Furthermore they are not required to show that they cannot afford other expenses incident to regular court procedure." Justice of the Peace Cox does not like the plan at all. He says that he does not propose to make a collection agency of his court. While he will not decline to hear the small claim disputes he has intimated that he will make it inconvenient for the persons involved by setting cases for trial at an early hour in the morning or late in the evening. Justice of the Peace Howard S. of Anaheim is quoted as saying that he will not hear the small claims case at all. One merchant came to him with a stack of bills described as "about two feet high" and wanted to make affidavits to cover all of them. SPRECKLES KILLED IN AUTO SMASHUP BAKERSFIELD, Cal., Aug. 9.—John D. (Jack) Spreckles, member of the well known California Spreckels family died here in the Mercy Hospital. The supervisors took no definite action today on the proposed ordinance, referred it again to the special committees representing Orange, San Bernardino, and Riveraide-cos. The ordinance now limits speed to 15 miles per hour and gross weight to 23,000 pounds on single unit or 22,000 net for truck and trailer. The truckmen protested that a 2-1 ton truck at high speed would do more damage than a heavier truck at low speed. Whipping trailers do the most damage of any kind of traffic, it was claimed. The truckmen also protested the proposed limitation by ordinance of loads to 50 per cent more than the manufacturer's rating. Truck dealers met both Friday and Saturday at the establishment of Damewood and Garroway, Orange, and arrangements were then made to go before the supervisors. "We hold," said L. P. Dainewood, "that a two-ton truck, fitted with the proper amount of rubber and carrying a five ton-load, will do less damage to the pavement than a five-ton truck carrying a five-ton load with a proper amount of rubber, provided that the speed of the two trucks in the same." "We are of the opinion that it is the speed of the truck that does the damage more than the load that is carried. If you ride along a rough pavement in a touring car in low speed you will not do much jogging, but get up to 25 miles an hour over the same road and see what happens. It's the same principle with the truck. It's the speed that counts more than anything else." "We feel that the 22,000 pounds gross tonnage requirement is fair, and most of the other provisions of the ordinance are, also." The truck dealers are representing the truck owners as much as themselves, was the statement of Damewood. "From a selfish standpoint," he said, "the truck dealers of the county might not care whether the ordinance was passed. In fact, it stands to reason that with such a law we would increase our business. If trucks will not be able to carry as much as they formerly could the owners will have to buy more trucks, as their business will not decrease. That would be from a selfish viewpoint, but we feel that we owe something to the men who have purchased trucks from us, and we want to see them get everything that is reasonable." NECE UP WO FACTIONS removed all doubt of give the Irish every act on her peace procluse released all Rail who have been in obvious relief inwers today over the government in release of John J. McCadden member of the Irish house detention threatall the negotiations. OWD| FAIR S TO TRY TUB Aug. 9. — "Stand alone.

(Jack) Spreckles, member of the well known California Spreckles family, died here in the Mercy Hospital from injuries when his automobile overturned on a curve between Felows and Taft yesterday. Spreckles was alone in the car and was picked up after the accident by a truck driver and taken to Taft, where he was given first aid and then brought to the Bakersfield hospital.
