A N \ v ‘COURT AGAIN TODAY Manslaughter Charge For- mality, as Arbuckle Wil Be Tried for Murder. By the Associated Press. 8AN FRANCISCO, September 17.— Comedian Roscoe Arbuckle was cast today for a new court scene in the tragedy of Virginia Rappe, motion picture actress, who died, according to accusers of Arbuckle, following a drinking orgy in the actor's apart- ment in a San Francisco hotel and as a result of mistreatment by her host. Today Arbuckle was to be ar- raigned in superior court upon an indictment charging manslaughter, returned by the county grand jury, but this arraignment is mere formal- ity, is was said, and District Attorney Matthew Brady was scheduled to ask a continuance of the manslaughter ‘case until action has been taken on the charge of first degree murder pending agaifist Arbuckle in connec- tion with Miss Rappe’s death. The district attorney had announc- ed the murder charge will be pushed and it will be left to a jury to d cide whether Arbuckle shall be con- victed of first degree murder, Sec- ond degree murder, manslaughter, or turned free by acquittal. There was also one other alternative, which was that if the police court at the prelim- inary examination of Arbuckle failed to hold the comedian to answer to the superior court on charge of murder, the state then would be forced to go to- trial .with the manslaughter in- dictment. Acquittal or conviction on the murder charge would mean auto- matic dismissal of the manslaughter charge, for the law holds a man may not be twice placed in jeopardy for one cause. Crowds Fight for Place, rowds long bef court opened today attempted again to gain places + of vantage about the courtroom of Superior Judge Harold Louderback, where Arbuckle was to be arraigned, that they might view the film star. . Arbuckle in all his court appearances nce his arrest has shown disinclina- on to face these curious folk. Scores of letters and telegrams con- tinue to arrive at the jail for Ar- buckle and in such number he can- not answer them, it was said. Pressing of the murder charge | means Arbuckle must remain in jail ' for some time to come. Dismissal of the murder charge and trial on the manslaughter indictment would have eant quick liberty on bail for the ccused actor. Bail on the manslaughter charge had been fixed at $5.000, and attor- neys for Arbuckle had put up the cash in anticipation of action by the district attorney favoring trial on the lesser charge. Arbuckle had hoped 1o be free on this today to start for his home in Los Angeles. Seek Dr. Beardslee. A new development was the an- nouncement that Dr. Arthur Beardslee, house physciian at the St. Francis_and the physician who first attended Miss Rappe, is being sought by the authori ‘ ties. Milton T. U'Ren, assistant dis- trict attorney, announced late today that- he had not been located, and asked the newspapers to assist in the search. Dr. Beardslee is wanted for the purpose of giving testimony before the grand jury regarding certain phases of the medical attention given Miss Rappe, U'Ren”said. The finance committee of the board of supervisors told Brady that he might have $1,000 at once in addition . to his regular budget allowance for the presecution of the Arbuckle case, and that more money would be sup- plied him as he needed it. “We will be under great expense,” Brady explained. “The defendant is reputed to be wealthy, and there will be a great deal of money spent in de- fending him. If we do not get su ficient funds we may meet with di asger. The country grand jury, at its meet- ing Monday might, is to consider ev dence that certain witnesses were tampered with, Harry M. Kelly, sec- retary of the jury, announced today. ‘The jury also expects to clear up doubtful points in the medical atten- tion given Miss Rappe,” Kelly sai “TRe testimony of the doctors who a tended her may be hear The witness-tampering investigation of the jury is fixed upon the failure of Miss Zeh Prevost, one of the prin- cipal witnesses against Arbuckle, to tell to the jury the alleged facts that she detailed to the police and the dis- trict attorney. As a result of her failure to testify, the jury was com- pelled to postpone for twenty-four hours a decision to indict Arbuckle, the district attorney said. A man- slaughter. indictment was returned against him.

By the Assoclated Pres: ATLANTA, Ga., September 17.—De- cision to resist all attempts at fuk- ther reductions of wages in the textile industry and to inaugurate a_perma- nent campaign to organize the non- union workers of the south was an- nounced here after a conference be- twee more than 200 southern labor leaders and ‘Samuel Gompers, presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor. 2 While the forty-eight-hour week was not mentioned in the announce- ment here, dispatches from Washing- ton said it would be one of the sub- jects to be discussed at a conference next Tuesday in Washington on wages and working conditions in the textile industry. Charlotte, N. C., is to be headquar- ters for the campaign, and a meeting of leaders in the United Textile Work- ers of America will be held there Sep- tember 22, to formulate a definite plan of action. “It is not a declaration of war,” said Jerome Jones, editor of the Atlanta Journal of Labor, who acted as spokesman for the conferees, “but it is a step toward active resistance to the effort to reduce texti scales below a living figur Mr. Gompers visited the Atlanta federal penitentiary yesterday after- noon, making a brief address to the prisoners, who were assembled in the chapel by J.

USE OF FISHING AREAS By the Associaed Press. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., September 17.—A resolution was adopted by the United States Fisheries Association in convention here calling upon the Navy Department to conduct maneu- vers in sections where fishing is not one of the local industries, “as sub- marines, depth bombs and maneuvers generally have been playing havoc with the fishing industry.’ President Duffy of Provincetown, Mass., said that since that city was made a_submarine base it has had the smallest catch of fish in its his- tory. The convention indorsed the bill of Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey that would prohibit dumping within the three-mile limit of all refuse, dyes, oils or other discarded matter detri- mental’ to marine 1ffe. “The pollution of ocean waters has become a serious problem,” a resolution said, “and un- less it is corrected the crab, lobster and other species of shellfish will disappear from the American tabl SPECIAL NOTICES.

The foreign statesmen are likely to remain in Washington for several| months, and throughout that time the citizens’ committee will see that they are made comfortable and are enter- tained. It was the opinion at yesterday's meeting that the city should have one big day on which to welcome the vis- itors with an putpouring of the people. Commissioner Rudolph, chairman of the citizeds’ committee, pointed out that Armistice day would be the logi- cal occasion on which to stage the| welcome, in the form of a huge peace parade. Will Raise $35,000. The committee announced that it has set out to raise $25,000 to defray its expenses. Miltonr E. Ailes, chair- man of the finance committee, took the full committee by surprise when he announced that in a few hours yesterday morning he obtained pledges for $5,050. Mr. Ailes announced that the con- troller of currency of the Treasury Department has let it be known that his office will look with favor upon voluntary contributions to this fund by the banks of Washington. John B. Celpoys of the Washingten Central Labor Union, explained that organized labor in the District already had started to plan a celebration in support of the movement now under way to limit armements, but that the Central Labor Union would gladly fall in with the plans of the citizens' com- mittee. Mr. Colpoys suggested that the pa- rade on Armistice day be followed by a mass meeting on the Monument Grounds In the evening, at which By the Associated Press. Terms of settlement of the Shan- tung dispute proposed by Japan to the Chinese government are sum- marized in statements by the Japan- ese foreign office, made public yester- day by the Japanese embassy here and in a translation also made public by the Chinese embassy. The terms as sunimarized by the Japanese foreign office follow, in gen- eral, the digest made public early in the week In Peking and contained in an_Associated Press dispatch from the Chinese capital under date of September 12. The Chinese transla- tion contains no important variations from the Peking summary, although some additional details are given in two sections. The Japanese summary follows: .~ The leasehold of Kiaochau and the rights originally granted to Ger- many with regard to the fifty-kilo- meter zone around the Kiaochau bay shall be restored to China. . The Japanese government will abandon plans for the establishment of a Japanese exclusive settlement or of an international settlement in Tsingtao; provided, that China en- gages to open of its own accord the entire leased territory of Kiaochau as a port of trade and to permit the nationals of all foreign couptries freely to reside and to carry on com- merce, industry, agriculture or any other lawful pursuits within such territory, and that she further under- takes to respect the vested rights of all foreigners. China shall likewise carry out forthwith the opening of suitaple cities and towns within the province of Shantung for residence and trade of the nationals of all for- eign countres. Regulations for the opening of places under the foregoing clauses shall be determined by the Chinese government upon consulta- tion with the powers interested. “3. The Kiacohau-Tsinanfu rail- way and all mines appurtenant thereto shall be worked as a joint Sino-Japanese enterprise. “4. Japan will renounce all prefer- ential rights with regard to foreign assistance in persons, capital and ma- terial, stipulated in the Sino-German treaty of March 6, 1898. 5. Rights relating to the extensions of the Kiaochau-Tsinanfu railway, as well as options for the construction of the Yentai-Weihsien railway, will be thrown open for the common activity of the international financial con- sortium in China.

By the Associated Press. 2 NEW YORK, September 17.—James P. Goodrich, former Governor of In- diana, was a passenger today on the steamship Kroonland, bound for Rus- sia_to join the staff of Col. Willlam N. Haskell, director of the American Rellef Administration's mission to that country. He said the non-po- litical character of the relief organ- ization headed by Secretary Hoover led him to offer his services as an ald of Col. Haskell. “I was deeply impressed by Mr. Hoover's instruction to Col. Haskell, he added, “to the effect that any member of the mission who -mixed | in politics in Russia, or who showed an inclination to discriminate in re- gard to race, creed or politics, must be promptly dismissed and sent out of Russia. “It is the absolute adherence to that principle that has made the names of America and her great citizen, | Hoover, blessed throughout the lands . of central and eastern Europe, where hundreds of thousands of children are alive today for no other reason than that our generous people’s con- tributions for relief handled | #0 impartially and efficiently by the | American Relief Administration. Mr. Goodrich will go to Lond then to Moscow by way of Berlin a Riga. Mrs. Goodrich Wwill spend the winter in Italy. From Moscow Mr. Goodrich said he expected to through_the famine districts in south of Russig, and would remain in Russia as long as there was any- thing he could do to help in the great humanitarian task.

NEW YORK, September 17.—An agreement alleged to have been made six days before the death of Mrs. Roxey Smith between her son and granddaughter, whereby the girl was to have received $2,400,000 for keep- ing silent regarding her uncle’s mar- riage to an actress, has entered into the contest being waged by the girl over Mrs. Smith’s $6,000,000 will. The will set aside a trust fund of $600,. 000 for the Beatrice Provost Nu. ent, but, in l‘flprma urt restrain her uncle, Wil- liam E.

Jeffries of Ryland Methodist Church suggested that the committee invite répresentatives of the Protestant, Catholic and Jewlish denominations to co-operate In wel- coming the visitors. Commissioner Rudolph proposed that the churches have special sqrvices on the first Sunday after the cdnference opens. Col. Drain, department commander of the American Legion in the Dis- trict, told,of the plans that are un- der way to greet Marshal Foch when he arrives in Washington on Satur- day, October 29, as the guest of the American Legion. He suggested that the citizens’ committee for the con- ference might also co-operate in Wel- coming the soldier of France. Col. Drain explained that arrange- ments will be made to transfer Mar- shal Foch from the ocean liner to a naval vessel before docking in New York and bring him to Washington so that he will set foot on American soil in the National Capital. Commissioner Rudolph announced that Frederick A. Fenning, secretary to the citizens’ committee, would open headquarters in- room 503, Dis- trict building, next week.

Public property used for admin- istrative purposes within the leased territory of Kiaochau will, in general be transferred to China; it being un- derstood that the maintenance and operation of public works and estab- lishments shall be previously ar- ranged between the Japanese and Chinese governments. “8. With a view to arranging de- tailed plans for carrying into effect the terms of settlement above indicat- ed, and for the purpose of adjusting other matters not embodied therein, the Japanese and Chinese govern- ments shall appoint their respective commissioners as soon as possible. “9. The Japanese government have on more than one occasion declared willingness to proceed to the recall of Japanese troops now stationed along the Klaochau-Tsinanfu railway upon organization by China of a_police force to assume protection of the rail- way. As soon as the Chinese govern- ment shall have organized such a police force and notified the Japanese government to that effect Japanese troops will be ordered to hand over to the Chinese police the charge of the railway protection, and thereupon immediately to withdraw. It is, how- ever, to be understood that the ques- tion of the organization of a special police guarding the Kiaochau-Tsinanfu railway shall be reserved for future consideration between dJapan and China.” The two sections in which additional details are given in the Chinese trans- lation here as compared with that given out in Peking follow: . The customs administration at Tsingtao is to be made even more truly and clearly than the system under the German regime an integral part of the Chinese custom adminis- tration. 9. Aithough further agreements are to be concluded between China and Japan relative to the organization of the special police force for the Shane tung railway, upon the receipt of the notification from the Chinese govern- ment of the organization of the police force the Japanese government shall, according to its repeated declarations, immediately announce the withdrawai of its troops and shall withdraw them upon the handing over of the func- tions of policing the raillway to the police force.” she signed the alleged agreement in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. e ad- mitted -he hdd signed an agreement, but did not specify its terms. -Affi davits were submitted by both “sides setting forth on one hand that Mr: Smith,was ignorant of her soa's mal riage to Miss Claire Staley again that she had approved the match. ‘HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE Text Books NEW AND USED PEARLMAN’S 35¢ SHOP 933 G 8t.

NEW YORK, September 17.—Bishop Manning has ruled that no clergyman of the Protestant Episcopal Church may perform a marriage ceremony for the Rev. Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, rector of the Church of the Ascension, and his fiancee, Mrs. Rita de Acosta Lydig, a_wealthy parishioner, who has been divorced twice, the New York Times says it has learned from a re- liable source. Eefore the engagement was an- nounced Dr. Grant communicated his purpose to the bishop and was in- formed that the proposed marriage was contrary to the canons of the church,-and the bishop has not receded from this position, it is declared. Dr. Grant's vestrymen are not in- clined to interfere with his matri- monial plans, and he is the only one who has taken up the question of its ecclesiastical regularity with the bishop, it is stated. Mrs. Lydig obtained a divorce from W. BE. D. Stokes, whom she married when she was nienteen years old, and later from Maj. Philip M. Lydig. ' One of these divorces was on the ground of incompatibility. The cause in the other suit was one which under the canons of the church does not prevent remarriage of the innocent party.
