FOR ARBUCKLE : Two Women Face Trial on I Charges of Perjury in « . Testimony. By the Assoclated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 7. —Mrs. Minnie Neighbors of Los An- geles and Mrs. Frances S. Bates of Chicago, wha testified for the defense in the trials of Roscoe C. Arbuckle, were indicted on perjury charges early today by the county grand Jury. Mrs. Neighbors testified at Ar- buckle's trial that she saw Miss Vir- ginia Rappe, in connection . with whose death Arbuckle is accused of manslaughter, at Wheeler ~Hot Springs, Ventura county, Calif.,, in August, 1921, and that Miss Rappe had suffered two sick spells while at the Hot Springs. Not at Springs. District Attorney Matthew Brady, after the grand jury session, said he had presented the jury with evidence to prove that Miss Rappe was not at | the springs at the time stated by Mrs. Neighbors. “I doubt if Miss Rappe ever was at this Hot Springs,” said Brady. Mrs. Bates testified at the second trial of Arbuckle. She said she work- ed with Miss Rappe in a Chicago de- partment store in 1913, where the film actress had been employed as a model. Brady said he furnished the grand jury with records from the Chicago store to show that Mrs. Bates work- ed at the establishment in 1909, was discharged in 1910 and had not been re-employed by the store. Brady, in a statement giving his reasons for asking the indictments, said he intended to prosecute “all persons who commit perjury.” “I consider this far more important than prosecuting persons charged with other felony,” Brady sald. CRIME WAVE PARTLY DUE TO LOVE OF THE HIGH LIFE | National Surety Company Also Cites Parole and Pardon of Criminals as Factor. NEW YORK. March 7.—Drugs, un employment, the parole and pardon of criminals, combined with man's un- willingness to give up the high life he tasted during the war, were held responsible for the prevailing wave of crime in a report issued by the National Surety Company. ‘The automobile is the biggest factor in the crime wave, the report stated, because it facilitates the quick “get- away.” Another important contributor is the acetylene torch, which enables the bank robber to penetrate vaults and safes in a few moments. The report cited a recent robbery in California when burglars burned a hole in a “burglar-proof” vault and _escaped with the contents while police were responding to a burglar alarm. The “quick-touch” method of opera- tion recently has become popular among criminals, it pointed out. Drug |l stores, silk and fur shops, chain stores, | Lanks, garages and automobile acces- |l sory stores were named as the great- est sufferers through this method— the robbers boldly driving up to the i place chosen for the job, loading the Ioot into an automobile and covering the escape with pistol fire. PAY CUT 5 CENTS AN HOUR Lower Wages for Cleveland Motor- i men and Conductors. l CLEVELAND, March 7.—The Cleve- land Railway Company has notified its motormen and conductors that a wage reduction of 5 cents an hour will become effective May 1. at the expiration of the present agreement. The notices, which were posted in all car barns, also stated that over- time pay, except on Sundays and holidays, would be discontinued. The proposed scale would be 50 cents an hour for men in the service | three months, 53 cents for those in service between three and nine months and 60 cents for those in service longer than nine months.

An old Chinaman started talking to me. After a while he took me away out south to 68th street in an auto mobile. Then we went through an alley, down a dark passageway, through a secret door into a place where a lot of Chinese were smokin, opium. He kept me there two hours. BRITAIN REPORTS SAVING. : Conference Cost £ 50,000, But'. £30,000,000 Saving Is Expected. W By the Associated Press. LONDON, March 6.—Austen Chnm-[ berlain, the government leader, today told the house of commons that.the || cost of the British delegation to the Wasington conference was not ex- pected to exceed £50,000. He said the abandonment of the construction of four capital ships would mean a sav- ing in 1922 of approximately £3,000,- 000 and that ultimately a saving of £30,000,000 would result from the Washington conference. Total sav- ings on estimates for 1922 and 1923 probably would exceed £10,000,000, he added. » o) ) I P THE e EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO IN OUR DOUBLY ENLARGED READY-TO-WEAR DEPARTMENT.
