Belton Kennedy will be branded as a 'dodge' to aid her escape explaining her alleged prosecution of Arthur Burch, co-defendant in the case, when the prosecution introduces its rebuttal testimony Monday, it developed today. A statement made by Mrs. Obenchain at the district attorney's office Aug. 6, the day after the murder, when she claims her mind was 300 SEEKING SPACES IN BIG SHOW Indicates Increased Scale of This Year's Event, Says General Manager Negotiations have been started with more than 300 corporations regarding exhibition space at the California Valencia Orange Show. Malcolm Fraser, General Manager, said today. This fact alone indicates, says Fraser, the increased scale of the second show as compared with the first. R. H. Mack, General Manager of the National Orange Show at San Bernardino, who was to have driven here today to clinch arrangements for tents for the local show, has been delayed by the storm until Monday. In another column the proposed dalyne Obenchain's startling claim that she was a victim of amnesia for several days after the murder of J. Belton Kennedy will be branded as a "dodge" to aid her escape explaining her alleged prosecution of Arthur Burch, co-defendant in the case, when the prosecution introduces its rebuttal testimony Monday, it developed today. A statement made by Mrs. Obenchain at the district attorney's office Aug. 6, the day after the murder, when she claims her mind was nummed," will be produced by Deputy District Attorney Keyes to show that she deliberately protected Burch by neglecting to inform investigators that he was in Los Angeles at the time of the slaying. Keyes will also introduce a statement made by Mrs. Obenchain on the morning of Aug. 8, after Burch's connection with the case had been discovered without her knowledge. In this statement, it was said today, Mrs. Obenchain answered questions readily until Keyes suddenly asked her: "Mrs. Obenchain, do you know Arthur Burch?" Up until this morning Burch's name had never been mentioned. Caught by surprise, Mrs. Obenchain was said to have answered: "I have nothing to say." The statement of Aug. 8 will show that Keyes tried repeatedly to have Mrs. Obenchain explain Burch's presence in Los Angeles, but that after his name was mentioned to her for the first time she refused to answer any questions concerning the case. Keyes will introduce the statements for the purpose of substantiating his charge that Mrs. Obenchain, by her stubborn silence after Burch was brought into the case, protected her co-defendant. The statements also will be the prosecution's answer to Mrs. Obenchain's surprising testimony yesterday afternoon that she could not remember having visited Keyes' office Aug. 6 and that for days after the murder her mind was "befuddled" and "suspended." ANAHEIM BUREAU TO MEET TUESDAY The regular meeting of the Anaheim Farm Bureau will be held Tuesday night, March 14, at the Anaheim Union high school. The question of the red spider and the mealy bug will be discussed. Horticultural Inspector George W. Sloop will be present to answer questions. The report of the project committee on the year's work will be given. All orange growers, whether members of the Farm Bureau or not, are cordially invited with more than 300 corporations regarding exhibition space at the California Valencia Orange Show, Malcolm Fraser, General Manager, said today. This fact alone indicates, says Fraser, the increased scale of the second show as compared with the first. R. H. Mack, General Manager of the National Orange Show at San Bernardino, who was to have driven here today to clinch arrangements for tents for the local show, has been delayed by the storm until Monday. In another column the proposed participation of the Orange County Auto Trades Assn.' is detailed. The tentage required will depend upon the space demanded by the dealers, but there is practically no doubt that suitable arrangements for space for a separate auto show in conjunction with the orange show can be made, it is said. Fraser has received excellent support from various fruit marketing concerns in Los Angeles. Booths this year will be more artistic, and in other ways the show will be of higher quality as well as larger. Arrangements are three weeks ahead of the program, Fraser said, and more than half of the work is done. Anaheim and Orange county generally is backing the show well. NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN DENTON MURDER LOS ANGELES, March 11—Amazing developments were forecast today in connection with the murder of Jacob Charles Denton, for which Mrs. Louise Peete was sentenced to a life term in San Quentin, when it became known that anteorney S. S. Hahn was in San Francisco for the purpose of taking depositions, which, it was declared, would reveal the inside story of the mysterious slaying and involve other persons hitherto not connected with the crime. Mrs. Angela Kaufman, wealthy philanthropist, has interested herself in the case and three other persons of wealth also were reported to have aided in raising a fund which, it is hoped, would clear up the mystery surrounding the finding of Denton's body in a sealed crypt in the basement of his mansion on South Catalina street. Mrs. Peete has always stoutly maintained her innocence and has hinted that she has shielded others, who were declared to have been connected with the crime, one of whom was said to have fired the shot which killed Denton. A partial statement along this line was made by Mrs. Peete while she was being transported from Los Angeles to San Quentin to begin her term.

NO HORSE THIEF SLEUTHS Horse thefts on the Pacific Coast are on the decline. M. A. Peck, head of the Solcitation Bureau of the So. Pac., said so today.

AIN DEALING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Saturday, March 11, 1922 DIRECTOR OF NEW FUNERAL PARLOR NEARLY INCH RAIN BIG BENEFIT The record rainfall in the county and snowfall in the San Bernardino mountains were largely increased last night and today. With orange picking, even of Mediterranean sweets largely over for the time being, growers and packing house associations welcomed the downpour. Beans, beets and vegetables generally have benefited from the rain. The figure of 27 inches, which snow in the mountains supplying Orange and other counties reached after the last rainfall and snowstorm, will be substantially bigger, said G. W. Sandilands Manager of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n. Sandilands has not yet received the figures, but declared that every cold rain season has been accompanied by a corresponding storm of the beautiful in the mountains. Boers Join Gold Strikers' Ranks LONDON, March 11.—Boers are joining striking gold miners in the Rand, British Union of South Africa, where 10 police were killed in a pitched battle and martial law has been proclaimed, according to a Johannesburg dispatch today.

Huddle, who is establishing a modern funeral chapel at Broadway and Lemon-st., and whose pleasing personality promises quickly to identify him with the more progressive business circles of the city. ROTARIANS DEFEAT KIWANIANS 15 TO 10 The old sore broke open again last evening when Kiwanis and Rotary clubs met on the high school diamond to settle the long-time argument as to who's the best baseball players. To satisfy themselves and other citizens, also to help along the Ebell clubhouse fund, the game was played, resulting in a decision for the Rotarians by a score of 15 to 10. Showing much nerve, George Chesum braved the remarks of the bystanders and called out the strikes and outs. The Kiwanis were up in the first inning and scored two runs. In their first, the Rotarians made four runs. A most amusing feature of the game was to see Dr. Jim of the White Temple run after the balls that flew away out in the center field. He admits that it took some tall hustling. Riley, the robust Rotarian, was making an awful effort to get to third base in the 2nd inning before the ball got there. To the amusement of the gallery, his feet refused to support him and he fell to the ground. He made quite an impression—but arrived before the ball, scoring later. Prof. Maxwell displayed much talent at shagging flies. Some dispute arose over a claim the Rotarians had five out in one inning. Webb of the Kiwanis and Cohen stepped into the pitcher's box about the fifth inning and glazed them over. A good crowd was on hand to boost for favorites and to grab off a few laughs. The ladies of the Ebell club sold Eskimo Pies, very appropriate in view of the weather. Mrs. Arthur Cohen proved to be a good saleswoman as she sold a dozen boxes of the frozen daly. The ladies are very appreciative of the efforts of the men and for all those who participated in the affair yesterday.

Siemann of the First National Bank which received one of Reed's fake checks; and H. E. Clark, assistant manager of the Taft branch of the Security Trust Company of Bakersfield. Reed had no attorney. He was held on two counts, one of passing a worthless check on the Anaheim National and one of passing a check with intent to defraud on the First National Bank of Anaheim. He was held for superior court at strikers and police and between blacks and whites, which culminated yesterday in wide-spread fighting. YOUR TAXES WILL COST $64.56 The average cost to each resident in Orange county will be $64.56 in taxes for the year 1921-1922, according to the statement issued today by State Controller Ray L.

RARE COIN EXHIBIT IN BANK'S WINDOW A number of the coins of the collection of J.W.Wohlenberger are on display in the window of the Golden State National Bank. Coins and a few pieces of original currency from Japan, Argentina, Peru, Guatamala, Hawaii, Brazil, China and the United States are among the collection. There is also shown currency in the sheet just as the bank receives it, the first issued to the bank by the comptroller. One twenty-dollar bill and three ten-cent constitute the sheet; but they are not negotiable until stamped with the name of president and cashier of the bank, this operation being done by a machine especially for the work. Many of the coins shown are now out of date, as the mint long ago ceased to make them. An old copper two-cent piece of the date of 1864 carries the mind to war times. A silver one cent piece, stamped 1858, and a silver half dime of the date, 1867, are in the interesting collection. Others of more recent coinage, but obsolete so far as the mint is concerned, may be seen. A catchy sign for the bank catches the eye,"Big enough to serve you, not too big to appreciate you." It is well worth a quarter of an hour of any one's time to examine the interesting showing.

TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR ND SHOT THEATRICAL MAN KILLED IN HIS EASTERN HOME LOS ANGELES, March 11.—Under circumstances strangely similar to those under which William Desmond Taylor, film director, was slain, John Theodore Brunen, amusement promoter and circus owner, said to have been a close friend of the murdered Los Angeles film man, was shot to death in his Riverside, N. J., home, according to dispatches received here today from the eastern city. Brunen and Taylor were said to have been drawn together because of the similarity of their interests. Both men were in the theatrical business and it was reported that they often exchanged opinions relative to theatrical ventures. It was believed here that Brunen was familiar with the reverse side of Taylor's life, the side revealed when it was learned Taylor had lived in New York under the name of William Deane-Tanner and had Taylor was alone in a front room of his South Alvarado street residence when an unidentified gunman, who had slipped into the house, fired the shot which caused the director's death. Taylor apparently had risen from his chair only a short time before he was shot. According to Riverside, N. J., dispatches, Brunen's slayers fired through a window of the Brunen home. The report of the gun and the crash of the shivered window pane aroused neighbors, who rushed eastern city. Brunen and Taylor were said to have been drawn together because of the similarity of their interests. Both men were in the theatrical business and it was reported that they often exchanged opinions relative to theatrical ventures. It was believed here that Brunen was familiar with the reverse side of Taylor's life, the side revealed when it was learned Taylor had lived in New York under the name of William Deane-Tanner and had a wife and daughter there unknown to his Los Angeles acquaintances, who believed him a bachelor. Brunen was sitting at a window on the first floor of his home when some one, who apparently had been stalking the amusement promoter, fired point plank at him with a shotgun, the charge striking him behind the left ear and smashing his skull. It was recalled here today that BIG THREE WROTE TREATY WASHINGTON, March 11.—Secretary of State Hughes today entered the fight to save the four-power Pacific treaty. It was announced at the state department that he had written a letter to Senator Underwood, Democratic senate leader, in support of the pact. WASHINGTON, March 11.—The four-power Pacific treaty was framed around the arms conference table from drafts submitted by Secretary of State Hughes, Arthur J. Balfour, and Ambassador Shidehara of Japan. It is a composite picture of the drafts presented by the leaders. No one man wrote the pact, as has been charged in the Senate, although the treaty in its final form more nearly resembles the draft prepared by Shidehara. Its formation was prompted by Anglo-Japanese suggestions that a new treaty be drawn to scrap the Anglo-Japanese alliance. The above is the answer to the question "who wrote the four-power pact?" Now the center of the stormy debate in the senate which threatens to menace ratification of the treaty. It is based on information obtained when the first news that the treaty had been framed and approved by "the big three" and on other information collected since the conference from reliable diplomatic sources. "The inside story' 'of the treaty's framing is this: Prince Tokugawa, Japanese delegate, made the first public suggestion that an understanding between the United States, Grea Britain and Japan be framed to replace the Anglo-Japanese alliance. He then, at a dinner broached the subject to Taylor was alone in a front room of his South Alvarado street residence when an unidentified gunman, who had slipped into the house, fired the shot which caused the director's death. Taylor apparently had risen from his chair only a short time before he was shot. According to Riverside, N. J., dispatches, Brunen's slayers fired through a window of the Brunen home. The report of the gun and the crash of the shivered window pane aroused neighbors, who rushed to the Brunen place to find Mrs. Brunen, who had been on the second floor at the time of the shooting, frantically calling for help. When the neighbors reached her side Mrs. Brunen sank to the floor in a faint. A theory, similar to that advanced in the early stages of the investigation of the Taylor case, was broguht forward that the slaying was the work of bandits. Big Paper Mill Makes Overtures to Anaheim A substantial proportion of an estimated capital of $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 required for a mill is asked by the Howard Pulp & Paper Co. of Idaho Falls, Idaho, as a condition of moving their mills here. Like various other concerns which have made overtures, Secretary Malcolm Fraser of the Chamber of Commerce said, this company expects too much of a small community. The corporation claims to have a process for the manufacture of newsprint paper from de-linked and de-fibered paper, making unnecessary a nearby supply of wood pulp. The mill would have an output of 100 tons of newsprint per day. CYPRESS CENTER HAS SOCIAL HOUR CYPRESS, Mar. 11.—The Cypress-Hanson Community club met at the home of Mrs. M. M.
