CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
WOULD DICTATE POLITICAL
ACTim OF US. EMPLOYES
Atlanta, G«., Dec. 5.—There
»w magic In the classified civil ser
vice of the Government, a wlrardry
proud, potent and profound,
learned here today. It automatically
llvea any man iwho works for Uncle
an extraordinary, not to say su
perhuman, ability. It ignores the tur
moil of the modern plshposh about
'emancipated women,” and "equality
of the sexes.” It puts Into every hus
band all the diplomacy, backbone and
spirit that he needs for the job of sub
jugating, bossing and muzzling his
wife.
This important and hitherto
pected fact is indicated In a warning
Issued by the United States Civil Ser
vice Commission at Washington and
made public in Atlanta . It is
lows:
"Employes are accountable for po
litical activity by persons other than
themselves, including wives and
bands, if in fact the employes ate thus
accomplishing (by collusion and Indi
rection what they may not lawfully do
directly and openly. Political actlvi-
fact, regardless of tbe methods
used by the employe, constitutes the
violation."
A large order, that; and insolent,
Is pointed out here by sonm gov
eminent employes. It undertakes to
say, that a clerk In tbe Atlanta post-
office or In any otber job that bas
been won by passing a clv.'l service
examination, can be held responsible
for his wife’s political activities.
It undertakes to say, and does
lid a government employo here .that
if tbe party in power is politically op
posed to suoh an employe's wife, he
be disciplined and punished as
penalty for her aets. It virtually com
mands every civil service employo to
keep wife, or husband, out of all po
litical activity opposed to the Republi-
> party.
'Submission to the order is impos
sible," said an Atlanta man, “for two
reasons. First, no upstanding Amer
ican Is going to let an outsider, no
matter who he Is ,tell him or her,
what his wife, or her husband, la to
do In regard to anything. Second,
while the management of husbands
has been reduced to an art, the muz
zling ol wives denes both private and
official Ingenuity and enterprise,
"As unadulterated bunk this ’warn
ing’ from the Commission Is In a class
all <by Itself.”

MRS. OBENCHAIN FREED
ON MOTION BY THE STATE
Los Angles, Dec. 5. Indict
ments against Arthur C. Burch and
Madalynne Obenchain, charged with
the murder of J. Belton Kennedy,
young Los Angles broker, were dis
missed yesterday by Judge John W.
Schenk on motion of District At
torney Thomas Lee Woolwine.
Mr. Woolwine moved dismissal of
the indictments on the grounds of
insufficient evidence.
Paul W. Schenk, attorney for
Burch then swore out an insanity
complaint against his client and
Judge Schenk directed that he be
committed to the psychopathic ward j
of the county hospital for observa
tion.
The court’s action left Mrs. Oben
chain free to leave the county jail'
which she announced she would do
immediately. She said that she
planned to leave Los Angles, but did
intend to go very far away. She
declared she would not return to
Chicago, her home at the time of the
Kennedy slaying.
Mrs. Obenchain was arrested here
in August, 1921, after she had re
ported that Kennedy had been slain
at his home in Beverly Glenn, where
she had accompained him. Kennedy
killed by the charge from a shot-
Burch was taken off an east-bound
train at Las vegas, Nevada, a few
days later and was returned here
for trial.
The state’s theory that Burch
killed Kennedy with Mrs. Oben-
chain’s connivance.
Ralph Obenchain of Chicago, di
vorced husband of Mrs. Obenchain
aided her defense in her first trial.
Burch’s parents, the Rev. and Mrs.
W. A. Burch of Evanston, Bl., moved
here to be near him.
Both defendants refused to admit
any direct connection with the slay*
Mrs. Obenchain proclaimed her
innocence. Burch remained silent
Burch was tried three timet, an in
sanity defense being the chief ele
ment of his case. All juries disagreed.
Mrs. Obenchain was tried twice, both
juries disagreed in her trials also.
Both defendants hsve bcc n in Jsil
since a year ago last August Dur
ing much of that time Burch has been
employed in the office of the coun
ty jail as a typist and accountant
Mrs. Obenchain was held in the wo
men’s ward and occasionally took the
limelight because other prisoners
complained that by the use of money
supplied by relatives she supplied
herself with the services of a prisoner
maid, with , extra foods and special
comforts.
