On the grand jury accusation lve was placed “on his own cognizance to return October 3. That date had been set sometimo ago, but Brady an- nounced late last night that if he could, he would utilize it to bring Ar- buckle to trial on the Delmont com- plaint, as modified yesterday by Judge Lazarus. Whether he would be able to have Arbuckle appear to answer to one complaint and then try him on another on the same date he was not sure, he said, but declared he would try, since both complaints vnarge the same offense arising from the same circumstances, Brady's reason for this attempt, he stated, was that he wished to avoid furnishing the defense attorneys with a transcript of the evi- dence before the gtand jury. The district attorney in a long state- ment issued last night declared that Judge Lazarcs had accorded Ar- buckle’s case unusual treatment and charged that “if Roscoe Arbuckle were unknown and unimportant he would have been held for murféer and treated precisely the samosas were other defendants of disrepute.” / FATTY LEAVES FOR LOS ANGELES.

This communication was dispatched early today and was considered to be the British government's final word in the exchange of measures between Lon- don and Dublin. Mr. Lloyd George informed Mr. De- Valera, however, that the British gov- ernment could not alter its funda- mental position which was vital to the empire's existence. This Position was that Ireland could not be allowed to separate from the British empire, but inust base her propositions upon self- government as a member of the sister- hood of British dominions. Mr. Lloyd George, however, renew- ed the offer of a conference “with view of ascertaining how the associa- tion of Ireland with the community of nations known as the British empire may be reconciled with Irish national aspiration,” proposing London as the place and October 11 as the date. Mr. De Valera, it is pointed out here has already agreed to confer on the ques- tion of the association of Ireland with the empire but has reiterated the de- cision of the Dail Eireann that its ne- Sotiations could consider themselves representatives of an independent country. Thug the view held in some quar- ters here is that the Sinn Fein ean now aecept Lloyd George's invitation without abandoning its own stand- point. DUBLIN PLEASED WITH ANSWER.
