U. S. WILL HOLD WHIP HAND AT CONFERENCE Nations Taking Part Owe Billions to America. FEAR OF TARIFF Government Plans to Utilize These if Needed. i WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—When the great powers of the world gather round the conference table here in November to discuss reduction of armament and measures to eliminate discord in the Far East, two all powerful weapons will be in the hands of the American “big four,” to lend driving forces to American argument. One of these is the $11,000,000,000 debt which the participating nations owe the United States. The other is the contemplated American tariff wall, which, if necessary, can be erected so high it will keep away from American shores the products of nearly every country in the world. Bvery nation participating in the conference with the exception of Japan, is heavily indebtedly to the United States for money obtained during the war. Thus, if some of the nations object to a limitation or reduction of armament the United States could, with perfect decorum, suggest that if the objectors have sufficient national resources to keep on arming they certainly have enough resources to take up long overdue obligations. GREAT BRITAIN’S HUGE DEBT. Great Britain, with the greatest navy in the world, owes the United States approximately $4,000,000,000. France, with the greatest standing army in the world, owes the United States approximately $3,000,000,000. Italy, with an army and navy of respectable proportions, owes the United States approximately $2.000.000.000. With the exception of Great Britain, who has paid n little, on none of the debts have the interest payments been met and the amounts owed steadily are increasing. STATUS OF JAPAN. Japan alone is not indebted to the United States, but Industrial Japan and particularly the silk magnates, contemplate with dread the enactment of a tariff program that would tend to restrict the trade with this country. The United State* is Japau's greatest customer. That the Administration does not intend to relinquish either of these powerful persuaders before Nov. 11 became ap parent when it was . arned the legislative plans for the remainder of the special session of Congress do not include that 'hey shall be disposed of. TARIFF LAW VIED WAIT. I’resent plans of the Administration, it wax learned, do not contemplate the passage of n tarifT law until after tire first of *he year, by which time the trend (Continued on Page Two.)

CORONER’S INQUEST OPENS QUIZ IN DEATH OF ARBUCKLE GUEST

Arbuckle Defense Will Pass Buck to Attending Doctors SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Sept. 13. The defense today for the first time showed its hand to the extent of revealing an outline of Arbuckle’s defense. This will include three probable points. 1. That Arbuckle did not criminally attack Miss Rappe. 2. That he did not take her into his bedroom against her will and that whatever occurred there took place with her consent and without force or violence. 3. That no action of Arbuckle's caused the intestinal injuries which resulted in the girl’s death and that her death was due to improper diagnosis of her illness or to Improper medical treatment.

Best Element in Film Colony Against Booze Public Asked Not to Criticise Profession Because of ‘Black Sheep' LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Sept. 13.—War was declared today on "a small but noisy minority” of the motion picture colony which ’’drives high speed motor cars to high speed drinking places” and "supplies material for gossip and scondal reflecting on the great army of well behaved honest, sincere, generous, kindly people.” Ben. B. Hampton, former magazine publisher, now producing motion picture plays, was the spokesman for the reform element in the movie industry. Hampton, confinet to his bed, penned a statement on the Arbuckle case. “it is inevitable that the picture pr< session should suffer temporarily for criticism aroused by this horrible affair,” Hampton declared. "Many people in their hot resentment of conditions tha' make tragedy possible may be prone to carelessly criticise the entire Industry. “Such an attitude would be unfair and unjust to the extreme. “The Los Angeles motion picture colony has suffered for years because of a small minority of Meek sheep."

Cut in Freight of From 1 to 25 Cents Aids Western Ranchers. WASHINGTON. Sept. 13 —One of the biggest single steps for the relief of Western live stock raisers was taken today by the Interstate Commerce Commission In authorizing reduced rates on live stock products from territory west of the Mississippi River to Chicago. The new rates, which range from 1 cent to 25 cents a hundred pounds, become effective Tuesday, Sept. 20. The new rates are expected also to have a helpful effect on the cost of living because of the price reductions that will be possible In the manufactured products as the results of cuts In the prices of raw materials. Under the new rates, practically all rates for points west of tile Missouri River to Chicago and from all points west of the Itocky Mountains to the Missouri River will be reduced. Similar reductions in all other rates now higher than 50 cents a hundred pounds are to be made. In many cases the entire in crease authorized by the commmission in August, 1920, will lie eliminated by the new rates.

Pay Check the Barometer of Happiness in Too Many Homes Is Judge’s View

(Editor's Note—This Is the seventh of a series of articles dealing with the divorce evil, it:- problem and its remedy as reflected in the official records and opinions of the local judges.) By WALTER I>. HICKMAN. The weekly pay check often regulates the amount of happiness in the home. That Is one of the important observations made by Judge W. W. Thornton of Superior Court, Room 1, in handling divorce enses. The jurist is of the opinion that one of the biggest factors in the divorce situation is the failure of the husband to keep the wife in the manner she feels that she should be supported. EXAMPLE OF GIRL WHO EARNED SALARY. This is noticeable in many cases of divorce among young people, the records of this court show. “Here is an example,” said Judge Thornton. “Here is a young woman who has been 5 stenographer. She has been aide to make good money, and by living at home, where she had no board or room rent to pay, she was able to clothe herself in fine style, and at times expensively. Then she met a young man who worked on salary, the majority of which went for clothing. A wedding resulted and she gave up her position. She dls covered that the money which she spent for clothing was missing and her husband's slender earnings would not stand the strain -of expensive dressing. “The realization of that started minor

TAMPERING OF WITNESSES IS POLICE CLAIM Testimony Before Grand Jury Different From That at First Hearing. ACTRESS MAY BE HELD SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Sept. 13. Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle faced his nemlsla today. Mrs. Bamblna Maude Delmont, who plays the role of avenger in the RappeArbuckle tragedy, took the witness stand at the opening of the second day session of the Inquest today. "I ma here to tell Just the truth," she told the coroner at the conclusion of a lecture on the Importance of her position as complaining witness ago|fists Arbuckle, charged with the murder of Miss Rappe. The coroner led Mrs. Delmont through a detailed account of her auto trip from Log Angeles to San Francisco in company with Miss Rappe and A1 Semnacber. She testified she was the only member of the party who was drinking when they left Los Angeles, a week ago Saturday. They spent the night at Selma. MOTORED TO FRISCO ON SUNDAY. The next day, Sunday. Mrs. Delmont said they motored on to San Francisco. The party was eating t.retkfast at the Palace Hotel shortly before noon Monday, she continued, when a pt'ge handed Mist Rappe a note Inviting them to the Arbuckle suite at the Hotel St. Francis. Whoa breakfast was concluded the party went to see Arbuckle. In on e(for t to maintain her composure Mrs. Delmont took sip after sip of hot water. Her hand trembled us she lifted the cup to her lips. She was dressed entirely in black. Arbuckle’s defense scored an important point when Mrs. Delmont described tile retirement of Arbuckle and Miss Rappe into an adjoining room from the party which preceded Miss llnppe’s death. Mrs. Doimont testified that Miss Rappe had gone into the bathroom and Arbuckle followed her in later, tha two coming out and standing together in the doorway. Arbuckle. she said, then walked past Miss Rappe and closed the door, leaving them alone together in the room. Previous statements attributed to Mrs. Delmont had been that Arbuckle dragged The Ban Francisco grand Jury refused to Indict Roscoe Arbuckle for the murder of Virginia Rappe until further evidence la introduced to clear up disputed points. After a six-hour session the Jury adjourned to give District Attorney Brady time to secure more evidence. It will convene again when ha is ready. Brady is going right ahead with the prosecution. The coroner’s Jury was called to meet at 10 *. ui, to hoar the testimony of Mrs. Maude Delmont, who alleges Arbuckle assaulted Miss Rapps during a "wild party” in his hotel suite and 1 jfllcted injuries from which she died. In spite of the delay in securing a gra-.'d Jury murder indictment, the uiurde; complaint against Arbuckle—sworn to by Mrs. Delmont—still stands and Ar buckle can be brought to trial on it evon if the grand Jury refuses to return any indictment. Os first magnitude was the charge made by District A.tornsy Mathew Brady that, “undue influence and pressure of a sin lster character,” bns been brought to bear on the witnesses of the case. This charge was followed by the announcement that Allre Blake, one of the showgirls who attended the party at the St. Francis Hotel, given by Arbuckle, at which Miss Rappe was seized with the illness that results i in death and the bringing of the murder charge against Arbuckle, has disappeared. In addition Brady declared Zoy Pryvon, another show gtr. also In attendance at the party, bad changed her story and faces possible arrest on a charge of perjury. The Pryvon girl was tukeu from the grand Jury room to her home, under guard of a detective. The district attorney said her arrest “depended on further developments." It was reported an Investigation was under way to deteruiins the source 0 f u ticket to Alubama alleged to have been found in the I’ryvuu girl s possession. DlstHcf Attorney Mathew Brady an no'.nced that he was gathering new evidence against Roscoe Arbuckle, accused of murder and would lay the case before the county grand jury for a secoun time wlhtin a few days. “Our case is still being built up,” (Continued on I’age Eleven.)

quarrels and fussing. She would notice that her unmarried girl friends were dressing better than she was dressing. In accepting Invitation j of her girl friends, she naturally met their men friends. The tesult was the divorce courts.” Judge Thornton looks npon many early marriages as a "serious\mlstake.” The observations of Judge Thornton show that the young man of today can not sun port a wife by an early marriage as was done thirty to fifty years ago when the young bride, as well as the husband, worked toward the common purpose of establishing a heme. WHETHER LOVE OK PASSING FANCY. “In nine out of ten early marriages which end In the divorce court, the girl was.married before she was twenty and she was unable to actually determine whether she wag in love or whether it was a passing fancy.” Judge Thornton observes, “'the trouble with early marriages so often is that the man and the woman are not strong enough in tht*’ - love for each other to stand the rough actualities of married life. Early marriages in some cases are prompted only by n passing fancy which is not love.” Judge Thornton's advice to young men is to have a bank account before attempting to support a wife. It has been observed In the county clerk's office that the prospective hnsband has borrowed money from his future wife with which to pay for the license. That Is an exception to the rule, but it has happened (Continued on Page Two.)

SHIP BOARD IS OBJECT OF NEW U. S. INQUIRY House Committee to Investigate LasLer Administration. WASTE NOT ENDED Lack of Decision and Mismanagement Begets Extravagance. WASHINGTON, Sept. 13—A new Congressional investigation of the United States Shipping Board, of the Administration of A. D. Lasker and the new board, will be undertaken by the House Appropriations Committee when it settles down during October and November to consider appropriations foi the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1922, it was learned today. EXTRAVAGANCE AND WASTE CHARGED. Disturbing reports have reached members of Congress that wasta and extrava- | gauoe have not been checked by the new board, that fhero continues to exist lack of decision and mismanagement in the operation of the shipping board ships, and that no attempt Is being made to foster and encourage Independent American steamship lines. It 1* stated the sblpplr.g board has at work a force of some forty expert accountants setting up anew aystern of accounting, drawing an average of SJO a day with no contract for completion of the work. It la charged this force will be employed for sixty days, the total cost being run up to $120,000. MANY CHARGES AGAINST BOARD. Other charges made against the new board are: That under the plan of reorganization the shipplug board forces have b <n made top heavy with high priced officials, shipping districts have been regrouped ■ with a director, a newly crejted officer: at high pri'-e salary being orer two or j more district heads. That divided responsibility among a largo number of operating officials at Washington and in the sb'pp'.ng dls tricts has resulted in costly delays and confusion in making allc-ations of ships bad routing of ships, loss of return cargo, i and disappointment to passengers. That American operators have been ; encouraged or left free to use ships of i foreign flag* when shipping board shipr were available for allocation. That a large number of high clna American lawyers, not necessarily veraod In maritime law, bare been engaged and left free to fix their own fees to handlf | shipping board litigation when tha boan 1 j has a highly patd general counael and, an expensive legal Staff.

TERRE HAUTE GIRL SLAIN AT HOME OF HER SWEETHEART Youth Held After Finding of Body Bearing Two Shot Wounds —Jealousy Believed Cause. Special to The Time* TERRE HAUTE. Ind., Sept. 18.—Tue suiv.i.g of Alisa Louise Willoughby. 17-year old leader in young society circles, today gave Terre Haute the deepest murder mystery the city has ever known. The gin's body was found shortly before noon at the home of her reputed sweetheart, Roy Parse, 16." Two gunshot wounds caused her death. Parse told police the girl shot herself while his mother was away from home and he was in another room. Authorities have not been able to establish a motive for the supposed crime. The girl left her home today seemingly in the beet of spirits.

JK\LOUBY GIVEN A® < Al SK OF C RIME. Jealousy growing out of the girl's attentions to another youth was believed to have been the motive of the alleged slaying by Parse. Parse is held on a charge of first-degree murder. The girl s body, pierced by two bullet wounds, was found on a bed in Parse's borne by the youth's mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Parse. whose report to the police set tha authorities to untangling the threads of the city's strangest crime story. Parse was arrested after he had run two miles to the home of an undo to relate u story of tlie finding of the girl’s body. How the girl came to the Parse home was a mystery the police were seeking to solve. No evidence of a scuffle was found. The mother was released after long question nig. MOTHER AWAY FOR COUPLE OF HOURS. Mr*. Parse stated that she returned to her home after a two hours' absence and. entering a bedroom to pick up her son’s coat, which she saw lying on the floor, discovered the body. Itoy was not in the house, she stated. The boy told conflicting stories, according to the police. Roy was in his bedroom when he heard shots in the room where the girl lay on the hed, according to the police version of his story. He rushed to her side and found her dead, but could find no truce of the weapon which ended her life, he declared. The revolver later was found under Parse's bod. Roy immediately ran to his uncle's home to tell of the shooting. The girl, who was prominent In younger social circles, was a daughter of James Willoughby, a contractor. She had visited the Parse home occasionally, according to the accused youth's mother.

SEE REVIVAL OF BUSINESS IN PRICE RISE Government Officials Cite Recovery of Commodities. GAIN IN EXPORTS European Debt Payment in Goods Begun. WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—Rapid recovery of leading staple commodity lines, together with increase in the values of many products, was taken today by responsible Government officials as a clear indication of a trend toward a substantial business revival. Reports to the Federal Reserve Board, the Treasury Department, the Commerce Department and other Governmental agencies in close touch with industrial conditions gave unmistakable signs of sudden improvement in many directions. FEATURES OF

EXPECTED REVIVAL. • Among the salient features in this cx pected revival as pointed out by Gov ernment officials were: 1. The rise in the price of cotton, the real start away from depression, is to be sustained by the fact that this year s crop is short and the additional seasonal deterioration from boll weevil and drouth last month may reduce the Government's last estimate. 2. A pronounced Jump In the demand for American exports, bringing the export figures up on a par with those of last spring This means a much larger volume of shipment than was reported then, because since spring prices have declined steadily. 3. Europe is shipping heavier supplies of her exportable surplus to American markets. It means a further cutting down of Europe's unfounded indebtedness to America, as payments can lie made only in goods. PLAN TO RELIEVE CREDIT STRAIN. 4. The Government, in advance of action by Congress, has decided to relieve the credit strain of Europe and rush their rehabilitation and prepare them for the hervy traffic demands of the coming winter and spring.

Burch Confessed to Me —Reporter KENNEDY MURDER SENSATION It's All an Infernal Lie —Burch

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.—Arthur C. Burch of Evanston, 111., confessed the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, at Los Angeles, more than a month ago to Chandler. Sprague, a Los Angeles newspaper man, according to a dispatch received here today by the Chicago Evening American. The dispatch came in the form of a signed story by Sprague which was copyrighted by the Los Angeles Examiner. The story asserted Burch had admitted killing Kennedy with the knowledge of Mrs. Mndaiynne Obonchaln. Burch and Mrs. Obenchain have been arrest in Los Anegeles since a few days after the murder of Keunedy on Aug. 4 last. Kennedy was slain at his summer cabin In Beverly Glen, near Los Angelos. He Is supposed to have been shot from ambush as he approached the cabin alter a motor ride with Mrs. Obonchaln. DURING TALK IN THE COUNTY JAIL. According to Sprague's story the confession was made while Iho two conversed in the Los Angelos County Jail, Aug. 14, ten days after Kennedy's murder. He killed Kennedy. Sprague alleges Burch told him, because it ''ns the only way to free Mrs. Obenchain from Kennedy's malign influence.

Pritchard Is on Bondsmen’s Trails Again In New Order to Turnkeys and Matrons, Judge Demands Enforcement. The old game of “pass the buck” is being played ip city court and in the turnkey's office again today, and Judge Walter Pritchard issued an order to the turnkeys and matrons pointing out that the court's orders in regard to proses • tonal bondsmen are being violated. The order stated to the turnkeys and matrons, “the burden of the enforcement of these orders are upon you." It has long been an open secret that the court's orders were being openly disobeyed by professional bondsmen, but no effort has been made by Judge Pritchard recently to halt these violations. The new order Issued by Judge Pritchard today follows : "I want to Call your attention again to the need of watchfulness in seeing to It that the court's orders regarding bonds, are obeved. One of these is that no person 'shall be accepted as surety bn the bond of any defendant awaiting trial or hearing in this court, until the case of the defendant for whom he is already surety (if he be surety on another bond) is finally disposed of here. Another is—that every surety shall enumerate on the blank form of affidavit furnished you for this purpose - the bonds he is surety on - for defendants awaiting trial in other courts, and if the total of these bonds, together with the bond he is seeking to sign, shall exceed half the value of his real estate, then he must be rejected as surety. Unless the list of bonds Is required to be given by the surety in the affidavit, the court is powerless to enforce the order, because the surety has committed no violation, if he has not sworn falsely. "The burden of the enforcement of these orders is upon you. . 1 earnestly hope that It wjll be unnecessary to resort to harsh measures, but these orders have not been rescinded, and until they are rescinded, they must be obeyed."

LOS ANGELES. Cal., Sept. 13—“ It Is an Infernal lie from beginning to end.” Speaking In a clear firm voice and looking the interviewer squarely in the face, as he pressed his cheek close to the bars of his cell in the county jail today. Arthur Burch branded a statement of Chandler Sprague, a reporter for the Ix>s Argeles Examiner, that Burch had confessed to the murder of .T. Belton Kennedy, as a "tissue of falsehoods.” “There isn't a word of truth in it," said Burch of Sprague's copyrighted article printed in this morning's Los Angeles Examiner, in which Sprag‘ie claims Burch confessed to him that he slew Kennedy with the knowledge of Mrs. Obenchain as the only means of ending an Intolerable situation. “It is a complete fabrication and tissue of falsehoods from the first to the last word.” Burch continued. “I have talked with Chandler Sprague, but I have never uttered a word to him that would warrant his writing such a completely unjustified and untruthful statement." Burch had been sleeping soundly and nrose from his cot to talk to the cor respondent. He appeared to be astounded when told of SpragueN revelations.j After making his statement, he said he did not care to give further comment until he had talked with his attorney. Mrs. Obenchain, also firmly denied that there is a word of truth in Burch’s purported statement insofar as she is concerned. w

All garbage was not kept In tightly covered receptacles, as Dr. Morgan said he would Insist, and William Jones, member of the State board of agrieul-j tura said the contracts of concession-! nalres provided. Garbage, enough of id to afford the myriads of flies food for at! high carnival, still Uttered the ground*’ in uncovered boxes, barrels, baskets and* can as late at Monday afternoon. SWIFT KNOWS NOTHING OF PLANS. Before the fair opened Mr. Morgan said, he Intended to see the State board and ask It to take steps to see that the garbage was properly handled this year. For several years it has been the custom for the city garbage collection department to carry the refuse away from the fairground. When asked some time ago the board of sanitary commissionera would render such service this year, the, chairman. Lucius B. Swift, said he knew nothing about It.
