Church in the handcuff slaying of two automobile salesmen, Leon: Parks, a garage employe, finally signed the 40- page transcript telling tue ‘story of his part in the slaying, today.

His face showed no nervousness or emotion as he faced a crowd of several jeering men after the inquest. “There's the murderer,” was the cry and it was necessary 10 call a squad of patrolmen to clear 2 way through the threatening crowd for the prison- er. \ Yesterday, according to the police, Church confessed that he killed the two men single-handed to obtain pos- session of a $5,400 automobile for the possession of which he was negotiat- ing, and later implicated others.

Wingreene and New Part-| ner to Operate Theater on Former Orpheum Site IS BEING) REMODELLED Washington, Sept. 13—Reductions by western railroads in rates on cat- tle, hogs and sheep, in the opinion of the Interstate Commerce Commission, “will pnove of material benefit to the western livestock raisers who have been heavily affected by the rapd dscline in livestock price since July, The commission expressed the belief today in announcing it had authorized the reduction proposed by the carriers which will become effective Sept. 20 and amounts to 20 per cent in cases where the present rates aro higher than 50 cents a hundred pounds but in no case decrease the rato below 50 cents a hundred. Under the new tariff practically all rates from points west of the Mis- sourl river to Chicago and from all points west of the Rocky Mountains to the ‘Missouri river will be reduced in amounts ranging from 1 to 25 cents a hundred pounds. Similar reductions in other livestock rates now higher than 50 cents a hundred are to be PRESIDE OVER made, the commission said. In many ; cases, it was stated, the entire in- T crease made in August, 1920, will, be eliminated by the new tariff.

ARBUCKLE CASE WITNESS ALTERS STORY, CHARGED Prosecutor Says Perjury is Com- mitted and Sees “Sinister Influence” FATTY TO GRAND JURY Refuses to Make Statement on Advice of His Attorneys, It Is Said San Francisco, Sept. 13—A state- ment expressing the conviction that perjury had been committed by one of the chief witnesses for the prose- cution at the grand jury investigation last night of the death of Miss Vir- ginia Rappe, film actress, for whose alleged murder Roscoe (Fatty) Ar- buckle is under arrest was issued here early today by District Attorney Matthew iBrady. The grand jury ad- journed for an indefinite period at 1:10 this morning. District Attorney Brady in the statement also charged that he be- lieves “undue influence and pressure of a sinister character has been ‘brought to bear” upon certain wit- nesses. In his statement Brady charged that Miss Zey Provost, also known as Zey Pyvron had changed her testi- mony ‘before the grand jury from that she had given previously to police and officials of the dstrict attorney's office that Miss Rappe had told her Arbuckle had caused her injuries, Witness Said Missing Brady also charged in his statement that Miss Alice Blake, another prose- cution witness, was missing. His statement follows: “We have sont Miss Pyvron home under surveillance. The girl changed her story completely before the grand jury. Whether or not we shall arrest her and charge her with perjury will depend on further developments. 1 am convinced however that perjury has been committed by her. “I am convinced that undue influ- ence and pressure of a sinister char- acter has been brought to bear on her and other witnesses, one of whom, ‘Alice Blake, has mysteriously disap- peared from her home in Berkeley. We have been unable to find hor. In spite of these efforts to thwart the ends of justice the investigation will proceed. “Whenever wealth and influence are brought to the bar of justice every. sinister and corrupt practice is used in an effort to free the accused. It ‘is always easy to convict a poor man. The wealthy malefactors are the ones who find means to use wealth to their advantage. fs Arbuckle Summoned “This case should be handled just as the cases of the other gangsters aro handled. The Pyvron woman made a statement in the presence of ‘Captain of Detectives Duncan Mathe- son.... She repeated this state- ment time and again. Before the grand jury she changed her testi- mony. Arbuckle, the last witness summon- ed by the grand jury in its five-hour session, was aroused from a sound sleep about 1 o'clock this morning.' ‘He was in the grand jury noom only three: minutes, it is said. He is said to have refused to make any state- ment except-that his lawyers had ad- vised him to keep silent. Mrs. Bambina Maude Delmont had previously testified concerning the party in Arbuckle’s. room, in a hotel here on ‘Labor Day at which Miss Rappe was present. Other witnosses were heard. After Arbuckle left the jury room the jurors began to deliberate:on the : testimony given. Behind chosed doors: the jurors argued for half an hour it is said, having’ excluded the district attorney and his assistants. The con- clusion then was reached to defer, action until further testimony could be presented. Tells Party Details Mrs, Delmont testified in detail in the grand jury session regarding the occurrences at the party in whch Miss Rappe is alleged to have received her fatal hurt. She had_ repeatedly knocked and kicked at the closed door behind which were Arbuckle and Miss Rappe, she said, and finally compelled Afbuckle to open it. She told of hav- ing attended the stricken girl and of tho girl's removal to the Wakefield sanatorium. ‘Mrs, Gene Jameson, one of the nurses, who, attended Miss Rappe. testified that she told her that Ar- buckle had treated her roughly and thateArbuckle had ‘safd that he had waited five years for her. At times Miss Rappe said she did not remember what happened n the room. and that other times she accused Arbuckle of hurting her, Mrs. Jameson testified. | Dr. William O. Phuls, who perfqgm- ed the post-mortem, and other guests at the party, also testified. ‘District Attorney Brady announced jhe had summoned Miss Provost for an examination today regarding her | testimony before the grand jury. ‘Union Men To | Be Replaced Is Wage War Threat pe rs | Chicago, Sept. 18—Members of the | Building Construction Employers As- the excess pTofits tax effective next sociation were planning today to re- January 1, instead of iast January 1,| place all union men who have not re- as recommended by Secretary Mellon turned to work by Thursday morning was approved today by the senate with non-union workmen.
