IRBUCKLE'S WORDS Semnacher Writes on Paper Details He Says Actor Gave-Him of Revel. By the Associated Press. % SAN FRANCISCO, September 24.— Alfred Semnacher declined to. repeat aloud from the witness stand today the detalls of Roscoe (Fatty) Ar- buckle's description of his treatment of Miss Virginia Rappe at the revel which preceded the girl's death, and instgad wrote them on a paper which he showed to the attorneys and to Po- lice Judge Sylvan -Lazarus.. who is hearing the murder complaint against the film comedian. He first said that Arbuckle's story of the incident, told 1o him, Lowell Sherman, Fred Fisch- bach and Arbuckle’s chauffeur, Harry McCullough, and which involved the use of ice, caused a general laugh. When the detalls were demanded, he objected to testifying verbally. No one remonstrated af Arbuckle's statement, according to the witness, who said it was told_in Arbuckle’s suite at the Hotel St. Francis, where the drinking party had taken place the afternoon before. Other conver- sation about the affair was limited to discussion of the intoxicated condi- tion of some of the participants, Sem- nacher said. testificd yesterday that he had oniy coifee to drink. Noted Nothing Improper. In answer to questions from Ar- buckle's attorneys’ Semnacher said he had observed nothing improper in Arbuckle’s actions toward Miss Rappe or any of the other women at the party. ‘When the news of Miss Rappe's death was brought by a newspaper re- porter to Arbuckle, Sherman, Fisch- ch and Semnacher in Los Angeles, the ‘evening . of _September 9, Sem- nacher declared "Arbuckle expressed regret at her fate. All of the group spoke of her death as an “unfortu- nate aecident which they could not understand,” according to the wit- ness, and Arbuckle, after discussion of what had better one, telephoned to-the chief of police in San Francisco offering to come north immediately if he was wanted. Semnacher was the first witness to be subjected to questioning by the gefense and these inquiries were but ' _ToM to Tell Whele Truth. : Aslde from his statement regard- ing Arbuckle's conduct at the: party, the defense drew from him an ad- mission that Frank Domingues, chief defense counsel, had told him to tell the entire truth to Capt. of Detectives Duncan Matheson and that the de- fense had never heard his version of the case. The prosecution introduced as ex- hibits the garments which Semnacher said Miss Rappe wore at the St. Francis and Dominguez asked the witness if he had seen Arbuckle wearing Miss Rappe's Panama hat. Semnacher replied that he had not. Semnacher testified Miss Rappe was in health until she was found in distress in Arbuckle's suite. He denied he lad.seen Miss Rappe with her. halr down standing in a door- way in the Arbuckle suite saying, “Look here, Rossie.” Arbuckle More Cheerfuk The defendant entered the court- room_with considerably more cheer- fulness than he has evinced since his arrest and grinned at District Attor- ney Matthew A. Brady's facetious comparison of their two waist lines. His smile died away quickly, how- the testimony began. Today’'s session of court occupied less than two hours. Women not pro- vided . with credentials were warned away from the hall of justice by the police, who had-a much easier time et esterday or the day before in ng the crowd. WIN CUP, MEDAL AND CASH U. of M. Students Bring “Bpoll.l"l From Cattle Judging Competition. “COLLEGE PARK, September -24.— With a $500 bronze trophy cup, one | medal and $90 in cash as their share of the spoils, the three University of Maryland students who represented this state in the students' dairy M;mg contest at the eastern states exposition at Springfield, Mass., early this week, have returned to receive the plaudits of their fellow students. ‘The Maryland team practically mad & clean-up in the big contest, in which students from the agricultural col- of New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvnaia, Rhode. Island and New Hampshire aup—the coveted trophy won - by Conreoticut last year—the Marylanders ran up a total of 4.753 points—nearly 300 points better than the Cornell team, which scored second place. The.Marylanders were first in their judging work in the Holstein nd Jersey classes and stood second in placing the -Guernsey and Ayr- shires. The Maryland team consisted of J. H. Snyder of Lewistown, Clayton Rey- nolds of Port Deposit and E. L. Browne of Chevy Chase and was trained and accompanied on the trip by Dr. De Voe Meade, professor of animal hus- bandry at the University of Maryland. I addition to the bronze cup, which will have to be won twice more before it becomes a permanent possession, Snyder won the Jersey medal for scor- ing highest in that breed and $35 in cash for scoring second place in all four breeds; Reynolds, $30 for scor- ing third place in all four breeds, and Browne, $25 for scoring fourth in all four breds. {Friend Attributes St MATHEW E.

His assertion, if adopted' by th convention, would probably delay final decision until Tuesday, for a day would probably be required to poll the delegates individually. Walker said Howat was “being framed” by southwestern coal opera- tors, who, he charged, once succeeded in driving Howat out of office by un- Just charges against him, and that the operators had vindicated Howat later when forced to do so.

Borland asserted that the ending of! the friendship, carrying with it with. drawal of Miss Hanan's financlal a: sistance, had left Mrs. Laws nearl “broke,” He expressed belief- that this ‘was followed by the excessive drinking, for which Mrs. Laws wrote her regret in a letter addressed to her sister in San Francisco and found zmong her possessions after her death.. Then, in turn, according to the Borland theory, came the homi- cidal frenzy. It was learned that when the as- ly sistant district attorney attempted to question’ Miss Hanan—lying in & Brooklyn hospital fighting off death— the girl readily answered all ques- tions except those pertaining to the question of whether Mrs. Laws had owed her mioney. s ‘When a detective asked Miss Hanan bluntly why the oth divorcee had shot her, the girl closed her eyes and barely moved her head from side to side to signify that she did not know.

It soon will be seen whether this plan is feasible, whether the consor- tium can be found amid the unem- ployment and trade depression in the world’s richest country, to grant so tremendous a loan. State Poverty and Private Wealths Several "times in_these dispatches I have pointed out the wide discrep- ancy between the state's increasingly impoverished condition and at least the apparent flourishing condition of private-wealth. And I have sald that some day an attempt would be made to substitute the one for the other. If this should succeed, the people's party which represents industry and commerce, would come into power and the government would be carried on by a coalition of capitalist enter- prise and socialist trade unionism. ‘The people’s party, which represents huge wealth and .is, thérefore, for- midable when in opposition, has thus far been for a return to a monmarchy, t“under. this plan. weyld be wi for the republic, and the nationalist party, made up of noisy monarchists, would be imolated.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Oopyright, 1821 - KAZANY Russia, - September 24.— Leaving-Moscow this week the Amer- ican Reliet Administration train bore a large sign in Russian, whichetrans. lated read, “American Relief Admin- istration, Russian division.” A couple of hours later, when the train halted for coal-and water, a crowd gathered, reading the signs. and asking ques- tions. One man who was bet! dressed and apparently more intel- ligent than his fellows asked whether the relief was sent by the American government and when the matter was explained to hjm he wanted to know it this relief measure had the ap- proval of the Russian government. Similar interest was shown at other stations. \ At = station only eighteen miles from Moscow we observed a scene now common in Russia. A train com- posed of freight cars packed with people had just come in on the track opposite the one on which our train stood. P s in dun colored trous- ers and blouses and with sacks on their back: e jumping off to catch a passenger n just leaving for Moscow. One man was dntfin‘ a bag from which protruded the legs of a -slaughtered hog. e peasants were_so-called “sackmen,” who the villages for provisions and. articles” which they place in sacks and bring to Moscow and other large citiés,” where there is a market for everything. 1 saw throw their sacks on th train, force their way into the erowd- ed cars or riding on the bumpers. fenders and anywhere they cobld hang on. Much of the food supply in Russia is now distributed between the villages and cities in this manner. Employment Cut to Half, On_the following morning we stop- ped at Murom, a town in the govern- ment of Viadimir, where there are railroad shops. These formerly em- ‘ployed 6,000 persons, but now only 3,000 are at work. At this station there were a number of young men ‘and - women who had recently lost their positions in a nearby factory making rallroad equipment. . “Where are you,going?’ adked one of them. “I don’t know,” was the reply. “Il shall go wherever I can find bread.

I was a passenger approached the station of Varnar, 150 miles west of Kazan, we could see a long row of peasant wagons drivigg up to a triin standing on a lldlns. On the sta- tion platform a little narrow-eyed peasant, a member of the executive committee of the local soviet, was keeping track of the distribution of seed just arrived from Moscow. He explained that this was the fifth shipment and that his district, con- Bisting_of thirty-seven villages and 1,900 “eaters” had received 180,000 pounds, but required $00,000 pounds. He hoped that more seed would ar- rive within the next zllodvl.il. before the, sowing season Wi 3 “Everybody helps in the work,” said a member of the soviet. ‘All the teachers have been mobilised, as the peasants are in a hurry and cannot sleep unless they get their seed into the ground.” Eat Clay and Aceras.
