Yy THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1921 ~ 17 THREE NEW MOVES e | IN ARBUCKLE GASE Intimidation, Liquor and Per- jury Charges Follow Jury’s Disagreement. By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, Calif, Deeember 5.—Collateral issues were to the fore today in the affairs of Ropcoe C. AT buckle, the jury which trled him on a manslaughter charge having dis- agreed and been discharged yester- day. Foremost of the three groaps of cir- cumstances attracting public interest to the motion picture comedian was the charge made by Mrs. Helen M. Hubbard, ore of the jury which tried him on charges arising from the death of Virginia Rappe, that attempts had been made at her intimidatibn. Mrs. Hubbard told Milton U'Ren, an assistant district attorney, and sev- eral other persons, that a man repre- senting himself as Gus Oliva, a_com- mission merchant with whom her hus- band had had business dealings. had telephoned her husband Saturday night with the intent of having her change her vote as a juror. She let it be known that she had stood con- sistently for Arbuckle's conviction. Hubbard said it had been intimated by the man that he might save him- self trouble by sending his wife a note asking that she vote for Ar- buckle's acquittal. U'Ren announced the whole matter would be laid before the grand jury tonight. A Liquor Charge Caming Up. 1} The federal charge against Arbude Xle, based on an allegation of illegal transportation of liquor drunk at the party in the Hotel St. Francis at which it was charged Miss Rappe met fatal injury at Arbuckle's hands, was set_for hearing today. - Charges of perjury against Minnie Neighbors of Los Angeles witness called by the defense in ‘buckle's manslaughter trial, were set for hearing today Tu addition to all these, last night's intimation by Milton Cohen, member of Arbuckle’s counsel, that the d fense ‘had “something up its sleeve” and was prepared to ‘“let it come down” today came in for comment. Jury Is Discharged. After forty-one hours of delibera- tion the seven men and five women on the jury which tried Arbuckle was discharged when they were unable to agree upon a verdict. The jury was brought into court at its own request at noon, reported a disagreement_and_asked that it be discharged. The foreman announced that the final ballot stood ten to two. Court officers id, however, that the balloting favored acquittal through- out. The case was set for trial Jun- uary 9. In a statement, following the jury's return. Arbuckle declared one of the five woman jurors had prevented his acquittal “because she refused to allow her fellow-jurors to discuss the evidence or reason with her, and would not glve any reason for her at- titude.” He did not name the juror. Praises Jurors® Courage. District Attorney Brady said that Arbuckle had been given a “fair and honest trial,” and complimented the jurors who held out for conviction as having “courage and determination “I had hoped the jury would reach an agreement,” he said. “I confident- Iy expected a verdiet of guilty upon the evidence presented. In my opin- ion the disagreement does not vindi- cate Roscoe Arbuckle. A vindication could come only after a quick unani- mous verdict. It was my duty to pre- sent the facts to a jury. This I have done, though opposed by wealth, pow- er and influence.” The members of the jury looked hag- gard and worn when the Mrs. also had settled and took their seats. The foreman, Augus? Fritze, informed the court “it is physically and morally impossible for us to feach a verdict.” At the request of -the cgfirt, he an- filed into the | littie courtroom,over which a deep hush | DRY ADVOCATES PLAN FOR FUTURE Directors of Anti-Saloon League Meet to Map Out Program.

Accompanying the budget as sent to Congress is # detailed report from Di- rector General Dawes as to the oper- ation of the budget bureau since its establishment five months ago and Some pointed comments as to means of continuing its efficient operation. Discussing the reception of the budgex by Congress, Gen. Dawes says: “It is to be expected that since the preliminary estimates have been made Under pressure by the executive for proper retrenchment, where consistent With efficiency, it will not be neces- sary, as heretofore, for Congress to make radical cuts upon the estimates of the budget with any uncertainty as to what will be the result as it af- fects efficiency. The President of the United States, when he sends the budget to Congress, is presumed to send it with all the reductions in ex- penditures which can be effected with- out impairment of governmental busi- ness processes. In the preparation of the budget he has had at work an au- thorized agency in the bureau, not only in ascertaining the reasonable- ness of desired appropriations, but in continually imposing pressure upon the departments for a reduction in the estimates wherever proper and possible.” Gen. Dawes says he feels that the estimate for expenditures for 1923, So there’s upon which the budget is based, “will not be increased except through ap- propriations initiated by Congress or by the executive as a result of emer- gency or unforeseen conditions aris- ing atter the preparation of the bud- get” Reiterating _his _recommendation that Congress immediately repeal all outstanding continuous appropriations and “revolving funds” Gen. Dawes says the method of appropriating money heretofore foliowed “has re- sulted in a condition of things under which it is almost impossible for either the executive, Congress, or the Secretary of the Treasury to have be- fore them a true picture of the fiscal condition of the government at any particular time.” One Question Imvolved. “The whole habit of making con- tinuous appropriations to which the government has been committed in the past,” he adds, “is only an en- couragement to a lack of scrutiny of public work by the head of the de- partment under which it is carried on and an encouragement to shiftless- ness and carelessness on the part of the subordinates more directly con- cerned in it. This system of prepar- ing the budget will confine the atten- tion of the executive, of Congress and of the public to the one great important question, to wit, the rela- tion of the money actually to be spent by the government to the money actually to be recetved by the gov- ernment in any given year, all its outstanding obligations and indefinite commitments, projects and enterprises considered. This will enable Congress, with more intelligence, to determine at any time both the necessity for re- trenchment and the ability of the gov- ernment to engage in additional proj- ects to be initiated by Congress out- side of the budgetary provisions.” Likening the federal government to a business corporation, Gen. Dawes points to these “faults,” which he says existed. - The president of the corporation (the President of the United States) gave practically no attention to its ordinary routine business. The administrative vice presidents (members of the cabinet) were al- lowed to run their several depart- ments as if each separate department was an independent authority in all matters of routine business. Because of a lack of any outlined business plan no system existed for making purchases or in selling ma- terial along business lines under a unified policy, No balance sheet of the corporation as a whole was ever prepared. The treasurer kept no accurate ac- count of the contingent obligations of the various federal departments, thus resulting in money being drawn from HIGH COURT DENIES UNION PICKET RIGHT Unlawful if Intimidation and Restraint Are Involved, Ruling Says. Organized .labor has no right to picket during a strike when it in- | volves importunity, the Supreme Court today declared. The decision was delivered in an appeal brought by the American Steel Foundries - Company growing out of a strike at its plant at Granite city, Il The court In its declsion declared no broad rule could be laid down in the matter of picketing, however, but that each case must be considered on its merits to determine whether the picketing constituted restraint and intimidation.

The corporation, in_effect, seldom reconsidered an unwise project en- tered into by any department. The administrative heads of the de- partments were selected, as a rule, with little reference to their business qualifications and were compelled -to rely largely upon the advice of subor- dinates “wedded to the theory of the right of independent operation of the department.” Work of Various Agencies. Outlining the work of the various co-ordinating agencies established by presidential order “to rectify faults in the routine business of the govera- ment,” Gen. Dawes says: “They involve no transfer of athor- ity the location of which has been fixed otherwise by statute. “They involve the delegation of no questions of policy save that of econ- omy and efficiency. “They are simply agents by which unified methods of ordinary business can be jmposed by the chief exec- They are created simply to give the President of the United States the same agencies of contact and trans- mission of authority as obtain in any private organization. ‘They involve no material addition to the expense of governmental ad- ministration. . “They are non-partisan, being com- posed of men already in the govern- ment service. “They are in effect simply a re- grouping under an executive leader- ship of certain of the present em- ployes of government of such expe- Irience, contact and relation in its rou- tine business as enables them to make possible the application of common- sense business methods. “It cannot be too often reiterated {that this most important reformation in the governmental business system is dependent upon the President of the United States himself, and upon his continued assumption of his re- sponsibility as its business head. The minute he relaxes his attitude of at- tention to this duty there well be felt the natural pull_of the departments and establishments toward the old system of complete independence and decentralization.” Gen. Dawes concludes his report with this statement: “In making this report the director of the budget will state that his con- TELLS OF ACCIDENT. Charles T. Ogle Says His Auto Did Not Hit Bicyclist.

By the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, Ga., December 5.—With a shotgun wound in his right lung, the body of Stanley Greene was found a short distance from Girard, Ala. Almost simultaneously it was learned here that a party of night riders severely flogged M. C. White, sixty- five years of age, thirteen miles from this city, and that Emory Wilkinson, his fourteen-year-old grandson, had heen shot twice in defending him, and had. in turn, shot one of the attackers. When Greene's body was found by a negro, an empty pistol holster was strapped around his waist and he was bareheaded. His wife made the state- ment that he had left her Saturday night to attend to “some busines: and was supposed to have returned within two hours, but failed to appear. Girard citizens visiting the scene where Greene's body was found ex- pressed the opinion that the man had been killed elsewhere and. his corpse thrown by the roadside. A coroner’s jury is making an investi- gation of the killing. Pleads With Riders. Wilkinson is Young injure his grapdfather, and was sho in both legs while speaking.

PRIEST GIVEN $25,000. |Hundreds Honor Rev. Duffy, For- mer Army Chaplain. NEW ORK. December 5—Rev. | Francis P. Duffy, former chaplain of the 165th Infantry, part of the Rainbow | Division, last night was the object of a public_testimonial meeting which filled one of the largest theaters in the city. in commemoration of the twenty-fifth | anniversary of his ordination as a priest. The climax of the ceremony came when Otto H.
