168 KNOWN TO HAVE DIED IN , TEXAS FLOOD List May Reach 300, Investigators of Districts Report. PROPERTY LOSS GROWS DALLAS. T*xai. Sept. 13.—The number of known dead as the result of the cloudburst and tornado which struck south, central and southeast Texas last Friday night had mounted to a total of 168 today. 'lt now seems certain that more than ihree hundred must have lost their lives. Latest reports from localities where it was known flood conditions prevailed, no previous mention had been made of loss of life. Following is the most recent summary of bodies recovered: San Antonio, 19. nearly all Mexicans. Elm Grove. 29, all Mexicans. Laneport, 23, all Mexicans. Thorndale, 45, all Mexicans. Alligator Creek, 5. all Mexicans. Lawrence Crossing, three negroes. Bland Farm, near Taylor, four Mexi.ogfis. San Gabriel, 10—one white, one negro, eight Mexican*. Maynard Robinson, division superintendent, and F. W. Leatherberry, division engineer of the Santa Fe with headquarters at Temple, have been missing since Sunday after starting out on a trip of inspection in a rowboat. It is impossible accurately to estimate property damage, although a conservative estimate places the total loss in the stricken district at $20,000.000. including loss to crops and damage to rail lines and station equipment. Practically every bridge in Miiam County, both highway and railroad, has gone with the flood. Railroad traffic ts still badly hampered, but strenuous efforts are being made to restore normal conditions.

ARBUCKLE NOT INDICTED TODAY BY GRAND JURY (Continued From Page One.) Brady said when he came to his office early today. "We are on the trail of new evidence which will strengthen it greatly." ~ It was understood that some of his “new evidence,” was expected to come from Los Angeles, where the public morals commission was said to be investigating alleged orgibs in the Hollywood motion picture colony. The Falsraff of the movies, tired from a day of unusual strain during which he had undergone all of the routine of criminal procedure from arrest to arraignment, went to sleep early last night and at 1 o'clock tills morning was aroused with difficulty from a sound .slumber to appear before the grand Jury. Dressing hastily, he was taken by detectives directly from the Jail to’ the grand jury room. MOVIE STAR REFUSES TO TALK. Perspiration poured from his forehead as he answered in a lew tone when asked by the foreman of the jury to give bis Tersion of the St. Francis party. ”My attorneys have advised me to say nothing at this time.” He was led back to his cell, the district attorney and his attaches excluded from the grand jury loom and that body settled down to consideration of the testimony. For nearly an hour they ’talked over the case behind closed doors. Then Foreman Clifford Curtiss emerged and announced: “It was thought best to take no vote on an indictment tonight. We considered best to give District Attorney Brady more time in which to secure certain information which we desire. We did not set a date for resumption of the grand Jury investigation.” It was following this significant statement from Foreman Curtis regarding "certain information” desired by that body that District Attorney Brady made his charge of witness tampering. "We have sent Miss Zey Pryvon home under surveillance. The girl changed her slory completely before *he grand jury. Whether or not. we shall arrest her and her with perjury will depend on “ rtber developments. "I am convinced undue influence and pressure of a sir ster character has been brought to bear on her and other witnesses. on of whom. Alice Blake, has mysteriously disappeared from her home in Berkeley, We have been unable to find her. “In spite of these efforts to thwart the ends of justice the investigation will proceed and no effort will be spared to bring the guilty ones to their Just deserts. EASY TO CONVICT A POOR MAN.

“Whenever wealth and influence are brought to bear on justice every sinister and corrupt practice is U6e<l in an effort to free the accused. It always Is easy to convict a poor man. The wealthy malefactors are the ones who find means of using their wealth to their advantage. Wealth and influence should not count In favor of the defendant, neither should they count against him.” Nine witnesses were heard by the grand jury during its long session. Mrs. Bambime Maude Delmont. who has assumed the role of prosecutrix, first told her story of the party aid the events that followed It. She is un derstood to have related in detail the story she already bad told the police. In this she declared Arbuckle dragged Miss Bappe into his room and locked the door: that she remained there an hour, despite her urgings that the door he ; that when the door finally was opened Miss Rappe lay moaning on the bed dishevelled and in a semi-conscious condition. She further told of the medical treatment of the girl at the hotel and later at tbe hospital. Mrs. Jean Jamerson, nurse in charge of the case, testified. She repeated, it was said, her statement that the girl, in almost her last words, accused Arbuckle of being responsible for her condition Mrs. Jameson, it Is understood, pointed Out that the girl's statements had been confilcting in that at times she declared she did not remember what happened. Mies Zey Pryvon, Ira O Fortlouis, JOr. William Ophuls, an autopsy surgeon : A1 Zembaeber, Mrs. Rose Reiss, mother of Miss .Pryvon, and John Reiss, her brother, were the other witnesea. Counsel for Arbuckle were plainly elated with the failure of the grand Jury to vote an Indictment. They, however, had no statement to add to their earlier plea for the public to hold judgment Lo abeyance. ATTORNEYS SAT ARBCfKLE INNOCENT. “We, with a complete knowledge of H th> facts, know that he is Innocent.” said this statement, signed by three or *ss>■ attorneys. ”Tbe patrons of the silent drama having a knowledge of the smile and heart of the famous “Fatty" Arbuckle. will not believe he is guilty of the charges made against htm until proved In the court of Justice,” the statement continued. “The Christian sentiment of the God-fearing nation will not adjudge any person! guilty of an alleged

crime until the same has beep proved in the spirit of our master, who -said, •Judge not, lest ye be judged.’ “The whirlwind and typhono of unjust criticism is now on; truth will dispel the clouds of falsehood. Truth is mighty and will prevail and the courts of—this land will sustain the basic principle of the Anglo-Saxon ideals, that the presr mptlon of innocence prevails until the same has been disproved beyond a reasonable doubt. “We ask the public of our common country to suspend judgment in this case until such time as a jury of the peers of Roscoe Arbuckle shall determine bis guilt or innocence.’’ A report current that counsel for Arbuckle planned a highly important step in his behalf could not be confirmed. The nature of the proposed step was not made plain, although the report was persistent Throwing its wreckage up in bits, like ships sunk at sea, the tragedy of the death of Miss Virginia Kappe is more clearly revealing itself hour by hour. Pointers on sentiment rear up in startling manner. When Arbuckle was arraigned not a woman spectator could be seen in the surging assemblage of men. Roscoe i Fatty.) Arbuckle sat quietly through the proceedings but it could be observed, on closer notice, how the vein? strained and beat at the temples, how tense and stiff and rigid a state he bad fixed upon himself, how determined a silence is his. Floating through the corridors of the Hall of Justice where the case is being handled, dramatic developments such as these come to light and are discussed. Joyce Hark, confidante of Zey Pyvron. was seen at the hall, pale beneath layers of paint and trembling In silks and satin*. 1 When Mrs. Pidi Wirt Ppreckels came to answer the summons of District Attorney Brody today she came alone. Calm and demure in her widow’s weeds she told a straight-forward story, says the district attorney and others who questioned her. A1 Zemnacher. who brought Virginia Itappe snd her friend up to Pan Francisco, for a “little trip” and tile one that later resulted in the actress’ death, paced the corridors back and forth while the inquest was being held. “tv* were all friends, and we came on a party. Virginia, I knew, and she was my friend, and we were pals. There was another woman with me.” Echoes of a telegram sent by Henry Lehrman, fiance of the deceased. Just be fore her death in which he urged bts sweetheart to have hope and to recover went the rounds from mouth to mouth. The last words of the dying girl to Mrs. Pprecklcs were passed about: “Oh, to think I have led a quiet life and to think I should get into such a party.” Meanwhile the city is agog and whisperings are heard on every side. Ar buckle’s every move is being watched and recorded, his counsel are trailed by reporters and the curious. The prosecuting Mrs. Delmont is collapsed from over strain and she, too, is being peered upon and checked up on every move. Where will it end? The city, back qf it, the State, show their anxiety. The cry, “Where will it end?” is taken beyond and comes from all over the world wherever Arbuckle has been seen on the silver sheet. Where will It end?

MILLIONS OF FLIES FEAST ON THE REFUSE (Continued From Page One.) peelings, rotting tomatoes and other garbage. Fifty feet east of here was another big pile. The investigator held his nose and fought off the flies in order to get close enough to examine it. Papers, old bread, lemon rinds, mangoes, rotting oranges, potatoes, petrified buns, empty sugar cartons and a small salt sack, half filled, were on the flies' menu GARBAGE NEAR WOMEN’S BiII.DING. Throughout fair week a cafeteria was operated in tbe basement of ihe Women's building. This, apparently, was the reason for an unusually large conglomeration of trash and garbage 1 nek of :be building. There were lour barrets, four baskets, a lard-can, a woode.i crate slid a number of cartons and boxes Uliod to overflowing with garbage an 1 stinking rubbish. A four-compareneut container of ice cream cans was one of the big fly attractions. A ten-foot wide fringe of souring trash decorated the entire south side of the new Agriculture and Horticulture nuilcllng. while the front entrarc? was littered with a special collection of sticky rubbish. Watermelon rinds, one of the world's best fly foods, littered a stand fronting the race track between the Agriculture and Horticulture building and the main grand stand. A box of garbage was hid den beneath a counter. Piles of lemon and orange rinds, cracker jack and old drinking cups strewed the way almost to the grand stand. At one point the flies had a particularly delectable time about a bushel basket of empty corn and bean cans which had been overturned. These were typical Instances of what, was found strewn over the entire inclosure. Meanwhile, it is reported, citizens residing near the fairground, who tried to prod officials into action wnich would avert the nuisance this year, have met the first onslaught of flies moving from the fairground to residences by patching up leaky screens. As soon as the food supply at the fairground gives out the pest Is expected to descend upon the homes as densely as ever. $4,800 RING IS STOLEN. William Dooley, rooming at the Roy.il Hotel, reported to the police this afternoon that his room had been broken into and a ring valued at JI.SOO had bee-i stolen.

INVESTMENTS OF U-S- ABROAD 19 BILLIONS Return of $950,000,000 Yearly Is Reported From Foreign Countries. YIELDS 5 PER CENT WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—American investments in foreign countries now total approximately $19,0,000,(1)0 reports to the Treasury and Commerce Departments indicate. The annual return to American investors is on the basis of 5 per cent, or $950,000,000, which is approximately $2,600,000 for every day in the year, including Sundays. This return now is flowing toward the I’nited States from Europe and Asia in a steady stream of gold to fill the pooketbooks of American business men. America has become the world’s greatest investing nation, the official reports show. And the stream of American dollars flowing abroad in search of interestearning power is growing daily.

The United States, as a loaning Nation, now occupies the place held by England before the great war. At that time the United States owed nearly $1,000,600,000. All this ha< been paid back and nearly $3,000,000,000 invested in foreign securities by private investors. America's investments itemize this way: Purchase of foreign industrial and banking securities by private American investois, $3,000,000,000. Foreign trade balance due American exporters and manufacturers; approximately $3,000,000,000. Due from the sale of surplus war supplies to private contractors to the Government, $3,000,000,000. To the United States Government from war louns, $10,000,000,000. 22,000.000 CITIZENS BOUGHT BONDS. The loans made by the Government, although not strictly a private investment, were nevertheless made with cash furnished by the rank an:! fin. of American citizens. The money was obtained from the sale of Liberty bonds and Victory notes, which were sold ti approximately 22,000,000 Americans during the war period. Furthermore, these bonded loans make the total tax collections '.n the United States slightly higher, so that in the long run even the Government's loans or Investments abroad come out of the average American citizen indirectly. The Government nowever, stopped making loans under the war powers several months ago, and the investments now going abroad from the United States are being made completely from private means. In the twelve months just ended approximately $300,000,000 was sent from the United States to Europe and South America. This is at the rate of nearly $1,000,000 a day. An international bourse Bhould be established to aid Americans in buying foreign securities, according to Eugene Meyer, managing director of the War Finance Corporation. Under this system American inTeators of small means would be able to buy foreign securities cheaply. Meyer contends, taking advantage of fluctuations in foreign exchange. Despite the lack of regular agenetps for taking advantage of low foreign exchange rates, the average American new is investing in foreign securities at a heavy rate, the Government reports indicate.

American dollars are flowing to Europe by millions to help rehntld factories In devastated northern Franee, meat pack ing plants in South America, steamship piers in Brazil and municipal water works In a half dozen European cities. EUROPEANS SEND BONDS TO l'. S. Municipal and state governments all over Europe are sending their bonds and stocks to tbls country for disposal. France, which recently paid American investors approximately $250,000,000 in taking up an old loan, now is contemplating the sale of another here. Several Swiss cities have found the Eastern States a lucrative market for their bonds. Bonds of Canadian cities oow are advertised for sale almost daily in newspapers in all sections of America, and the game is true of Issues offered by cities in South America. Several millions of American dollars are Invested in sugar plantations and mills In Cuba. Foreign stocks and bonds sell easily in the United States because of the high interest rates which can be offered more or less safely as a result of the depreciation of most foreign money. Establishment of foreign financing corporations under the Edge law is assisting the Investment of American dollars abroad. These corporations are particularly intended to benefit the small Investor. The corporations borrow money from millions of small investors under the plan, and the total is millions In money or sums of substantial sizes which can be loaned to Americans who must grant long-term credits to foreign buyers. Under the Edge plan the dollars of the small investor do not go directly into foreign securities in his name. The general effect, however, is the same. American dollars go abroad to finance foreign industries, which then buy raw materials from American producers, sending the American dollars back to this country. With these dollars, however comes Interest.—Copyright, 1021, by pub lie Ledger Company. HORSE RTNS OVER WOMAN.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13,1921.

RAUB TO STEP IN AS DIRECTOR OF DEMOCRATS (Continued From Page One.) department .of justice, as chairman of the speakers' bureau, was announced late Monday by Mr. Meeker. “Mr. Tigbe will have full and complete charge of this bureau and will make all appointments aw 1 designate the speaking dates throughout the campaign for both men and women,” said the city chairman. It was understood several days ago that Woodburn Masson, choice of Boyd M. Ralston, Democratic nominee for mayor, was to jiead the bureau. On assuming his duties today Air. Ttghe made the following statement: “My appointment as chairman of the speakers bureau of the Democratic city committee simply means that the publicity committee will have an active representative at the committee rooms and this I understand to be the wish of the chairman and the advisory committee. It will be our purpose to bundle this work with the utmost fairness and justice to all concerned, even the so called Republican candidate for mayor. The newspapers and other agencies of information will bo assured of our sincere efforts to present to the voters through legitimate channels fill details of the campaign and Us issues. “As yet, I have formulated no definite plans or activities and before doing so, will wish to be advised by the publicity committee, the candidates and the chairman of their wishes. ‘it may be stated however, that active are being made to launch the campaign formally at the earliest possible moment. 1 feel that on account of the great expenditure of public funds necessary to conduct an election, that the peofele are entitled to lie fully informed of the gravity of t.he situation, as well as to enjoy a typical Iloosier campaign.” It was understood Tighe's selection came as a surprise to Mr. Ralston. Masson, it was said, probably will be offered the chairmanship of the publicity bureau. Friction developed some time ago between Masson and Meeker, it is said. Boyd M. Ralston, Democratic nominee for mayor, announced that leading Demo'erats are being called to headquarters for suggestions upon the conduct of th: campaign. Charles E. Cox, Salem I>. Clark and Clarence E. Weir were called in Monday afternoon. John W. Holtzman, Oren S. Hack and Mr. Raub we-e In conference with Mr. Ralston and Mr. Meeker this morning. Others will be called in three at a time during the next several days. APPEAL TO WOMEN’S CLUB IGNORED. Placing of the responsibility for both men and women speakers in Mr. Tighe’s hands also marks the ignoring of the Seventh District Democratic Women's Club, of which Miss Julia E. Landers is president. The club has Insisted for several months that a woman be placed in chargeN>f women speakers. Edgar A. Perkins, whom Mr. Ralston defeated in the primary, will be the principal speaker at the weekly meeting of Democratic women workers at city headquarters Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Grace Jackson Bodenrnlller, women’s city organizer, announced. The speech is expected to be ’mportant. since it will be the first appearance of Mr. Perkins In behalf of Mr. Ralston before a city-wide group. He has talked in ward and precinct meetings several times. *

Sept. 13.—Minta Durfee. former movie star and wife of Roscoe Arbuckle, issuod a statement today while preparing to leave for San Francisco, declaring her determination to “stick by him to the finish.” Mrs. Arbuckle, who has not appeared in the films for two years, said she and her husband separated by mutual agreement, but no court action was ever contemplated and that ”our past differences are forgotten now.” “I am sure my husband is an innocent victim of this terrible affair and I am going to California to be with him until he is cleared," she said. BAR FILMS IN MANY CITIES NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—Comedy films starring Fatty Arbuckle continued to be thrown Into the discard throughout the country today. While the State censorship board in New York City declared Itself powerless to act, individual theater managers united in barring Arbuckle pictures here. Mayor Moore directed the department of public safety in Phlladelpuia to pro Mbit the films there on the grounds they would “offend public morals.” Exhibitors In Chicago, Indianapolis, Toledo, Wilmington and Los Angeles have voluntarily cancelled Arbuckle's pictures and the police or censorship boards In Jersey City, Memphis, Providence and throughout Michigan issued restrictive orders. Norfolk barred the Arbuckle pictures and Columbus, Ohio, planned to take similar action.

FIANCE EXCUSES HIS FIANCEE NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—“1 excuse Miss | Virginia Rappe’s going to Fatty Arbuckie's apartment in the San Francisco Hci el, because she was in a strange town and lonezotne,” said Henry l>ehrman, fiance of the dead woman, in commenting further today about the tragedy which has caused him unhappiness. “Miss Rappe was escorted by Mrs. Bamblmo Delmont, who stated Virginia ; did not know Arbuckle was to be in the apartment when they were invited to call,” said lehrman. “Even If she had known Arbuckle was to bo present, I would have excused her going. For despite her physical aversion to him he i could have been entertaining.” Lehrman, though grief stricken, is still bitter against Arbuckle, who he thought was his friend.

RUSSIAS WATCH TURK-ARAB WAR Soviet Government Said to Plan Move for Downfall of Mustapha Kemal Pasha. CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 13—Warfare in the Near East threatens to spread from Anatolia to Mesopotamia or the Kingdom of Irak, as the district ts known since Great Britain put Emir Feisal upon the Mesopotamia throne. Turkish nationalists are alarmed over the prospect that the British will send the Mesopotamian Arabs to war against them. This would prevent the Turks from reorganizing their army which was shattered by the Greeks. Soviet Russia is watching Turkish developments closely and it is believed schemes are afoot to bring about the dowrifall of Mustapha Kemal Pasha and supplant him with Enver Pasha as head of the Turkish nationalist movement. CITY PLANNING BODY TO MEET Thomas C. Howe Mentioned for President of the Commission.

Mayor Charles W. Jewett today called the members of the city planning commission to meet for organization in his office at 9 o’clock Thursday morning. Appointment of the members was completed several weeks ago. Beyond the election of a chairman and a general discussion of the first broad problems to be considered tbe commission is not expected to act. An executive secretary, whose salary may not exceed $4,000, is to be selected, but it is thought the commission may not choose such an official until later. Thomas C. Howe, former president of Butler College, defeated candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor and one of the four-year appointees on the commission, is being talked of for president. Claude W. Wallin, secretary to Mayor Jewett, is a candidate for the executive secretaryship. The commission will have headquarters in the city hall, the exact room to be determined later. One of the first matters to come to lta attention is passing upon a nnmber of real estate plats which have been held up since the commission's appointment. This work formerly was done by ths city engineering department with the approval of the board of public works. H. Foster Clipplnger is the other fouryear appointee; Edward B. Raub and Louis XV. Bruck are three-year members, and Emerson W. Chaille, two-year member. Gustav G. Schmidt, member of the city council; Frank C. Lingenfelter, city civil engineer; Samuel E.

Robbins, In making the motion, said she felt that the fact the! pictures were indorsed before the edy in which Arbuckle Is involved occurred, together w;th the fact that tha pictures were so excellent, made he; feel personally there was no reason to strike; them from the list, but the fact they 1 were sent over the State as pictures to be used in small town bouses in the future, threw a different light on tha subject. Mrs. C. B. Jackson in discussing tha question said she felt at the present ths most delicate thing to do would be toi make no mention of films portraying Ar- t buckle, as she felt the average person has a feeling of revulsion against seeing him. HE’S TRAGEDIAN; NOT COMEDIAN. “He is before the world as a tragedy* not as a comedy,” she said. “And 1# seems almost impossible to think of wit-* nossing one of bis humorous laugh provoking plays now.” Mrs. David Ross, president of the organization!, said the indorsers were noli condemning Ulta in removing the pictures from their lint. She said that personally the accusations teemed almost unbelievable to her for she had always looked upon his pictures as being unusually clean, wholesome, full of real healthy humor that children could go to see without being harmed, and she would noij condemn him until after the verdict. “However, “she stated,” I feel good wllf come out of even tnis horror, for pro J ducers, exhibitors and stars will resilzo that public sentiment is against Immorality and that the popular picture Is the one that portrays the stars with whom there is no scandal connected. VV* already have seen the fall in popularity of stars after their morality has bma questioned.” MRS. ROSS HONORED BY LOS ANGEX.ES. It was announced at the meeting that a letter Inviting Mrs. Ross to serve oa the Scripture-films committee of Loo Angeles has been received and tha organization indorsed her acceptance of the honor. The committee makes films for Sunday schools and religious organizations over the country. Mrs. C. L. Davidson, chairman of the picture committee, read her report of the pictures seen and indorsed this summer. Out of the 180 films viewed, 1?3 were Indorsed. She said the pictures a* a whole being shown in the down-towa houses were clean, wholesome and that the exhibitors always were willing to flash scenes at the suggestion of tho indorsers and were cooperating in every way possible with better film work. The Indorsers and Farent-Teachek Association will hold a Joint supper at the Y. W. C. A. Thursday evening.
