never before in Los Angeles has a criminal investigation been surrounded with greater secrecy than is the probe Into the death of J. Belton Kennedy, wealthy young broker, murdered at his summer coitage in Beverly Glen, near here, last Friday night. The fact that the grand jury will be presented with evidence today, indicates, despite the reticence of prosecutors, that they have a case. May Hold Up Evidence. The evidence Involving Madelynne Obenchain, companion the night of the slaying, and Arthur C.

Burch, her former college mate and acquaintance of Kennedy, both held in jail, the latter under suspicion of murder, may not all be presented, it was indicated late yesterday. Several witnesses, however, according to Thomas Lee Wool wine, district attorney will be called. Among these probably will be Dick Parsons, automobile livery man, who identified Burch as the man who rented an automobile from him the night of the murder, the tires of which corresponded, It was said, to the tracks made by a machine parked on that night near the acefae of the shooting. Search for the shotgun used In the slaying, conducted for several days, had, up to this morning, been unavailing, although the search covered territory from the mountain glen to the ocean and a considerable distance under the water near the mouth of Santa Monica canyon. Sold Shotgun Shells.

A feature of developments was the purported visit to the district office of a young hardware clerk of this city, who was understood to have sold shotgun shells to a stranger in his store about ten days ago. It was understood an attempt was made to identify Burch as the man to whom the clerk sold shells coresponding to the two discharged ones found in the bushes near the scene of the killing. It is understod that indictments will be requested of the grand Jury as soon as sufficient evidence has been placed before the Jurors to warrant the request. Mr. Woolwine last night indicated that a "critical in the preliminary investigation had been reached and at the same time declared no information except of the most general nature w'ould be made public.

OF TEXAS IS RUSHING WORK Austin, Texas, Aug. that the end of the present special session is almost in sight and that there is no time to waste, the lawmakers have awakened to the importance of getting down to business. There Is now a strong disposition to off by moving the previous question, while, when the session was in its inclpiency, there seemed no end to the outbursts of oratory and prolonged wrangles on every measure and resolution that came up for consideration.

House Stands Pat. The house yesterday afternoon passed a resolution instructing its members on the free conference committee on the educational bill not to recede from any of the provisions of the house which cuts the salaries of Instructors In the institutions of higher education. This may mean that the conference committees will fail to agree and that the educational measures will fail of passage. This would force Gov. Neff to call another extra session, which he is not in favor of.

Conference Refused. The sejiate part of the free conference committee on the eleemosynary appropriation bill refused to confer with the house conferees today because the house on yesterday had instructed its committee not to recede from the socalled Pope amendment tacked onto the bill. This amendment provides that none of the money so appropriated shall be used for any other but the specific purpose for which appropriated. Senator Dudley acted as spokesman for the senate conferees and representative Quaid headed the house conferees. Senator Dudley said to the house conferees that his committee would not confer with a committee that has been so instructed.

This ended the confereaice, which is now in a deadlock. Unless the house recedes from its action, it may force the governor to call another special session of the legislature immediatejy to pass the appropriation bills. Elleemosynary Instltutoins. The bill making appropriations for the eleemosynary Institutions carries approximately $2,965,000 for the first and $2.782,535 for the second fiscal years. The house passed the bill virtually as it came from the senate.

Under the bill, the oppropriations for the various eleemosynary institutions are: Confederate home. $41,345 for the first and 137.980 for the second fiscal years; Confederate Home, $103,045 for the first and the same for the second fiscal year; State insane asylum, $512,870 and state Pasteur Institute, $6800 and $6300; Southwestern Insane Asylum, San Antonio, $429,580 and North Texas Insane asylum, Terrell, $452.270 and East Texas hospital for insane.

Among the companies affected are the petroleum firms operating In the northern part of the state of Vera Cruz.

The law provides that the share of the workmen In the profits of a concern, where they are employed, shall not be less than 10 per cent while In some Instances, their share may be as high as 50 per cent.

AS FOR MEXICANS Mexican Cattle Can Be Shipped to Chihuahua For 75.45 Pesos While It Costs I 75.75 For American of About 500 Pesos Per Car to Mexico taliation On Cattle From Sonora Is to Be Sought. on the Mexican Central railroad on American cattle are more thai double the rates charged on a shipment of Mexican cattle. This formation was made public Thursday by Americans who made inquiries at Juarez relative to the shipment of cattle to Chihuahua City.

Retaliation on part ofon part American railroads is to be sought by American cattlemen against Mexican cattle shipped In bond from Sonora to Juarez. The freight rate quoted by officials of the Mexican National lines was 75.45 pesos for a car of Mexican from Juarez to Chihuahua ami 157.45 pesos on American cattle for the same distance. A car will carry about 35 head of cattle. In addition to this, a recent tariff of 10 pesos per head on American steers has been promulgated. Tariff on American Steers.

It was stated to the El Paso cattlemen making the inquiry that the same proportionate rate would hold good on shipments to other points in Mexico. This, according to those making the inquiry, would mean a difference of about 500 pesos a car to Mexico City from Juarez in favor of Mexican cattle and would result in barring American cattle from the Mexican markets. This ruling Is in face of the fact that Mexico is short of cattle and meat. To Protect Sonora Cattle. Officials In Juarez said the rates had been fixed for the protection of Sonora cattle.

That is about only Mexican state in which the cattle were not almost all killed in the revolutions. The Interests now In power In Mexico, are said to be owners of a large number of cattle In the state of Sonora. The American cattlemen who made the inquiries at Juarez, immediately took up the matter with the El Paso chamber of commerce and asserted that they would also take it up writh the American railroads and insist that if the discriminatory rates were continued in Mexico, retaliation be given by American roads. May Double Rate On Sonora Cattle. Since it Is the announced intention of the Mexican discrlmnatory rates to protect Sonora cattle and since Sonora cattle can only reach Juarez and interior Mexico by passing through the United States in bond from Nogales to El Paso, it is the intention of the cattlemen to ask the American railroads to double the rates on such Mexican cattle shipments unless the Mexican roads equalize the tariff rates between Mexican and American cattle.
