Not a dollar will be allowed by the Douse appropriation committees for any naval purpose, despite the fact that the annual estimates for the sea forces are scheduled to reach con- gress carly next month and a re quest for a deficiency appropriation ‘of $27,500,000 is before the commit tee, Representative Kelly, Michigan, fm charge of the naval appropria- tions, said. ‘The senate can pass no appropria- tion unless it ts first approved by the house, but Kelly said senate lead. ers are thoroly in accord with the douse plan.

R, 0, AT ‘FAT’ ARBUCKLE TRIAL Best Traditions of Movies Maintained in Court AN FRANCISCO, Nov, 14.—Be fore a court room crowded with pros. Pective jury men and jury women, the case of Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle, charged with manslaughter in con. hection with the death of Virginia Rappe, was called at 10 a m. today in the court of Superior Judge Louderback The best traditions of the movies Were maintained at the trial Admission was by ticket only, The 8. R. O. sign was figuratively hung out half an hour before court opened and @ half dozen policemen turned large numbers of would-be specta tors away Batteries of cameras were set up before court was called to order. Everything was set to make “Matty” feol at home as much as posnible As the trial of the fat comedian opened today, it was revealed that the names of 13 women are in the first pane! of 65 prospective jurors. Manslaughter, with a possibility of 10 years in prison as a penalty, was the charge against Arbuckle. Or liginally it had been murder, but at the preliminary examination the \charge had been reduced to the lesser erime. | Benina the manslaughter, | technical charge of which can mean 10 years’ imprisonment for Arbuckle, lies the fact that movie morals are on trial Men who have mit THE SEATT SPIRIT OF HOPE Question of Fleet Is Believed Settled BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN (Copyright, 1921, by the United Press) WASHINGTON, Nov spirit of hope pervades the capital Those who doubted while they waited for the delegates to assemble now feel quite sure that, so far as fleets are concerned, the question is practically pettied NO NATION * CAN REJECT acceptance of the plan of scrapping more than half of all the battleships afioat and will euspend building new ones for 10 yearn.

Halverstadt to inter vene in behalf of 18,000 residents ef Cowen park and Rooseveit heights districts, Monday, Supertor Judge A. W. Frater continued until 9:30 a m. Tuesday all litigation im the controversy between the city and the Sound Transit Co. Halverstadt went at once to Olympla for a writ of mandamus to compel Judge Frater to allow his petition. Postponement of the scheduled Proceedings was granted upon agree- ment between Corporation Counsel Valter F. Meier, representing the ¢ity, and W. R. Crawford, attorney for the auto bus men, in order to give Crawford time in which to reply to an affidavit secured by the city from E. V. Kuykendall, chairman of the public service commission. This affidavit, on which Meier indicated the city will base its case, states that the commission, in granting the Sound Transit Co. permission to op- erate an auto bus line, did not in- tend that the company should violate any city ordinance regulating fitneys. Saturday afternoon, at the instance ‘of the city, Attorney W. R. Craw- ford, two officials of the Sound Tran- sit Co., and 29 jitney drivers were arrested for alleged contempt of court.
