RALSTON SAYS HELP OF WOMEN NEEDED TO WIN Lack of Funds to Conduct Campaign Makes Work an Essential. In Insisting upon law and order he also Is insisting upon safeguarding the rights of men, declared Boyd M. Ralston, Democratic nominee /or mayor, In a speech before the women workers of the party at city headquarters Wednesday afternoon. Edgar A. Parkins, whom Mr. Ralston defeated in the primary, also spoke. Confession that the Democrats hare not the money with which to curry on the campaign, "as we should have conducted it,” was made by Mr. Ralston. He said that this makes the active support of the women "all the more necessary and im portant and, I will say, appreciated.” Democratic workers stay with him until the last ballot is counted, despite the lack of funds, he said be believes. ASKS SIPrORT FROM BOTH PARTIES. “I fully realize that if I am elected It will bo by the support of the people. Democrats and Republicans, who have no selfish purpose to serve by helping me to the high office 1 cm seeking. Real public service then will be rendered, in this campaign, by those who center their minds on how to have this contest end la order best tp serve Indianapolis, rather than how best to get a nominatwo years hence, for a county or city office. Those pursuing the latter course are indifferent to the welfare of our capital city, and time will disclose that they have defeated their own ambition.” # Women long have desired to improve municipal government, and quit# naturally, for It is the regulation of the welfare of one's immediate surroundings which most closely touch the home and family, he said. “It is up to every city, then, to safeguard its own homes, and if women do not play their part In doing this the ballot in their hands will be a mockery, and, sooner or later, a source of weakness rather than strength in government.” OUTLINES HOPES OP ACCOMPLISHMENT. The women, he said he believes, will exert their power to halt an enemy bofore it crosses the border Into the city and to drive it out if it does happen to get established. Declaring himself keenly conscious that he will be unable to do many tilings that ought to be done if be is elected mayor, Mr. Ralston said he would endeavor to got better and cheaper streets, better markets, with women helping to supervise them, justice for the south and west sides, lower taxes with more advantages for the city and law and order. Mr. Perkins compared Samuel Lewis Shank, Republican nominee for mayor, with “Big Bill” Thompson of Chicago, saying they both are shrewd politicians. Miss Hazel Fesler and Mrs. Christian also spoke. Mrs. John Trenck presided.

TATTY’ EXPECTS FREEDOM TODAY ON $15,000 BAIL (Continued From Page One.) that the murder charge will he dropped.” Dominguez and Colien readily admitted that 75 per cent of the people of San Francisco are against Arbuckla. Arbuckle himself is very much frlght'"ined—"scared" would be a better word. He never smiles now. District Attorney Brady declared he expected to announce within twenty-four hours whether he would prosecute Roscoe Arbuckle for manslaughter or murder in connection with the death jof Virginia Rappe. Brady made thi announcement whfn be came to bis office this morning to prepare for the formal return of the grand Jury manslaughter indictment against’ Arbuckle. which will be made in the Superior Court at 10 a m. Arbuckle's attorneys still refused to make any comment on the case today. While there will be no let-up in their Investigation in order that no augles may be overlooked, the detective bureau, working in conjunction with the district attorney’s office, believes the case against Roscoe ‘Fatty” Arbuckle, charged with responsibility for the death of Virginia Rappe, is practically complete. Following a conference with Chief Detectives Duncan Matheson. at which the latter made a complete report, District Attorney Brady said : ‘ BELIEVES EVIDENCE IS SUFFICIENT. “Every known guest at the party, with the possible exception of Mrs. Moe Tauba, has been interrogated, and every angle of the case has been investigated. I think it has been covered thoroughly. With the exception of Arbuckle. all the known witnesses have told what they know, and I feel that the case has been thoroughly investigated. Sufficient evidence has been secured and presented to justify the charge against Arbuckle.” Mrs. Tauhe has been located in Log Angeles and is being questioned there today. She is not thought to have attended the party on Monday. Sept. 5, but was a caller on Arouckle on the day before, according to information in the hands of Brady. He desires to know what went on in Arbuckle'g room* that day. SIX WOMEN WITNESSES IN CASE. Here aro the six women witnesses In the caße npon whom the district attorney must depend for evidence: Mrs. Bambina Maude Delmont, Virginia Rappe's friend, main witness for the prosecution, who brought the murder charge. Zeh Pryvon-Prevost, who, according to Captain Matheson. wag approached by an unknown person and advised to "keep her mouth shut.” Alice Blake, singer, third star witness, missing for'two days, but found later. Jeanne (Dollyi Clark, reputed to be the mo6t beautiful girl at the party, late arrival and probably a defense witness. Betty Campbell, show girl, co-respond-ent In the divorce suit of a young Chicago millionaire, also a late arrival. Joyce Clark, show girl, Zeh Prevost’s friend. Not a witness, but used by the district attorney to brace up Zeh’s changeable story. Captain Matheson set about the routine preparations .for the trial. Experts were assigned to diagram the rooms at the St. Francis used by Arbuckle for his party. Complete measurements were to be made and photographs taken of all the furnishings, etc. Photographs already have been made by Sheriff Dolan of the door Arbuckle Is alleged to have locked behind him. show, lng several small scars which Dolan describes as having been made by the toe at a woman's shoe. With the exception of one or two pieces, all of the clothing of Miss Rappe has been recovered and officially identlled as “exhibits.” It also Is understood that before the * trial the Federal authorities will turn over to the police as “exhibits” two whlnkey bottles found in the Arbuckle rooms. These are being held by the Federal authorities as evidence their investigation of the source of the liquor at the party. Captain Matheson .said also he expected to question several persons known to have been and out of the Arbuckle rooms Sunday and Monday, but npt In attendance at the party. NaAfis of taany well known movie actors actresses are likely to be

brought into the caae when Arbuckle goe#. to trial on the charge of assaulting and fatally injuring Mias Rapp# at a liquor orgy in his hotel rooms Labor day. They will be called by the prosecution and the defense to testify to Arbucklo’s previous character. ■ This line of investigation also will bring into court testimony with regard to "wild parties” of the -fast set in the Los Angelos movie colony, in which Arbuckle Is alleged to have participated. A complete expose of this night life is expected. Federal prohibition officials are considering seizing Arbuckle s $26,000 utomobile, on suspicion that the liquor used at the fatal party was transported from Los Angeles to Sar. Francisco in it. The San Francisco women's vigilance committee has appointed a committee of eighteen prominent club women to assist the district attorney in prosecuting Arbuckle. Mlbs Zeh Pryvon and Miss Alice Blake, who attended Arbuckle’s party and who are considered Important witnesses against him, were under police surveillance today. Detective Captain Matheson announced these women would bo kept at a secret address because he feared attempts would be made to have them change their testimony. Two Los Angeles firms have fl>d rttachiuents against Arbuckle's SIOO,OOO mansion. One attachment is for mi interior decorator’s bill of $11,000; the other for an unpaid furniture bill of $6,500 —less than "Fatty” earns in two weeks under contract. Offielils frankly are more concerned over charges and rumors of witness tampering than they were in reaching a decision on what charge Arbuckle will be prosecuted.

TO INVESTIGATE W 1 f NESS TAMPERING. "If the witnesses in this case are being tampered with, all the machinery of the district attorney's office will be used to run the guilty party down,” District i Attorney Brady declared. “I am more j interested In seeing that money does not ; influence any one connected with the case than I am in convicting Arbuckle.” Demand was made by the coroner's jury in its verict, charging Arbuckle with manslaughter, that steps be taken ly all officials concerned to prevent ra- ! currence in San Francisco of such affairs as that staged by Arbuckle which had a fatal ending. The same sentiment was expressed at a meeting of the women's vigilance committee. Henry Lehrman, said to hare been the fiance of Miss Virginia Rappe, has telegraphed instructions for Miss Rappe's body to be shipped to Los Angeles, where elaborate funeral arrangements see being made. Arbuckle received approximately two hundred telegrams from friends expressing confidence in his innocence. Brady admitted he Is deeply interested in tha report of alleged orgies in the Hollywood motion picture colony which J. H. Pellitzer, chairman of the Los Angeles morals efficiency commission, announced he is preparing for him. Further information on the report received here included an account of an alleged "hop party" said to have been hold at the home of a prominent movie light, costing $20,00. Just as the evening seemed to he falling fiat, according to the purported account of the affair, a neatly gowned maid wheeled into the room a tea wagon, bearing a wide variety of narcotics and hyopdennic needle#. Her appearance, it was alleged, turned apparent failure of the party into success.

ADMIRER SENDS BOUQUET TO FATTY SAN FRANCISCO, Spt. 15.—A Inrtyp bouquet today graced the e<hl of Knscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, the gift of an elderly man who said he was an old admirer of the film comedian's screen antics. A card signed “J. J Kelly—From Number 10,” accompanied the flowers, but the donor refused to further Identify himself. “Just a mark of appreei don for the many hours of amusenieD Arbuckle has afforded me,” the man said.

Midnight ‘Funeral’ Orgy; 150 Film Stars at Party

LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Sept. 15.—Tha tragic Arbuckle orgy at San Francisco Hotel, resulting In the death of Virginia Rappe, motion picture actress, comes as no surprise to Los Angelas people, especially residents and horns owners In the ■uburb of Hollywood, the center of the motion picture colony, lying to the northwest of the city proper, who for months have complained to the police, the Moral Efficiency Commission, and State and Federal authorities concerning the parties staged in the South California metropolis and environs. Extensive Investigations have been carried out bjr the authorities Into the dotalls of the orgies of which one is known to have been held while members of the police department vice squad looked on. Prominent motion picture stars. Including actors and actresses who are idolized by film fans the world over, have been arrest'd as the result of a police raid on one of the parties, and it Is known further arrests growing out of another "socia* affair” were impending when the Arbuckle case “broke.” Participants In the orgies are limited to approximately 125 members of the motion picture colony, but their orgies In palatial residences they have rented, causing destruction of furniture and Interior decorations, have so reflected upon the reputation of the great body of screen actors that many of them ore unable to rent homos at any price la Los Angelea. The cavortlngs at one afalr, in which more than a hundred stars of the silent drama participated, ar© now the “talk of the town," and In the unwritten annals of this celebration It is blazoned as the unsurpassed “midnight funeral." The scene was et In the palatini home of on# of the heroes of the 50,000,000 Him fans of the nation.

The party gained early headway, as participants enjoying entertainment and pre-Volstead refre-htuent# which only the lavish hand of over-weighted wealth can provide. Wpird oriental dances were the send-off for the eve ntng In the line of amusement, watched and tempestuously applauded by many bold, righteous heroes and demure and retiring heroines the f|im fans know to well. Multi-colored candles, extending com pletely around the walls of the room in which the climax evening party was staged, furnished the lighting for the occasion, while large spotlights were centered upon one section of the floor, where the "main event” was scheduled to be staged. The high pitch of the evening's revels was reached with the approach of midnight. While t reparations for the "big show” were In progress of completion guests who temporarily had departed for the numerous "love nooks" In the home were summoned back to the entertainment hall. • The babel of voices, which had dts turbed the slumbers of more prosaic neighbors during the early part of th’ evening, ceased as the witching hour drew near. Drums and tomtoms were passed to the ossemtilaee now seated close to the w-alls of the hall, and as the orrhes trs struck up a lamenting song of Orien tal strain these were beaten in measure with the music by the guests The candle lights around the wails of the room were doused, and the spotlights centered a more glaring light upon the scene where the climaxing high Jinx stunj was to be performed. Somewhere an old grandfather's clock sounded the chimes of midnight and an anttnque clock “cuckooed" in quaint dieharmony with impressive, chimes and the lamenting Oriental strains of the orchestra.

At this signal slow footsteps shuffled down t.h# broad stairway leading from th© door above with a majestic sweep Into the living hall of the millionaire's home. Solemnly and with measured tread came six men, garbed, bearing aloft upon their shoulders a crepe-hung coffin. The desecration of the funeral produced for the moment an awed effect upon the guests, broken vrlth a hysterical scream and laugh by one of the film queens, who, under the Influence o: liquor, forgot the Instructions that "we must be still” while the grand flnalo was In It* first stages. The pallbearers of the mock funeral came to a grotesque halt with their grewsome burden under the bright and colored glares of the spotlights, depositing th© coffin upon a table In the center of the room. All about. In a packed mass, the assembled coterie of motion-picture stars were gathered as one of their number, garbed in the cloth of a minister, with a book of burial ritual held in hand, proceeded to officiate over tha "obsequies. ’ “A last look at th© deceased was called for. an\ at the cue the lid of the casket was lifted solemnly. Within the silk and_ plush-lined coffiu, a black cloth covering the body to the chest, hands folded and one bolding a white lily, was a boy. One of the gay party dashed forward, swiftly drew away the cloth covering, and the boy, very much alive, rose from the casket. A roar of intermingling screams of delight and uneontained laughter hurst forth. Women were brushed back by the rush of tipsy men, who seized the youth, lifted him off bis feet and placed him on the floor. The hoy was frightened by the mob of actors, who grabbed him aud wildly hauled him about the floor until the Jovial host, warmed at the roughness exhibited, took the matter in hand. Rescuing the lad from his coheroes of the film world, he placed him on a small platform, where he was worshipped and salaatned by the film stars, while the orchestra struck up a weird Oriental song. Following the ritual over the boy came an orgy which is declared to be without equal In the history of America.

Sipe ha# been represented until recently In the Criminal Court by William Kaiser, but under an aefi passed by the last Legislature, Judge Collins appointed Mr. Kaiser as chief clerk to the court. The chief clerk is not under the Jurisdiction of the connty clerk, but under the con- 1 trol of Judge Collins. When Mr. Kaiser was appointed chief clerk, Mr. Sip# transferred Mias Birdie Biilman from hia office to the Criminal Court as clerk of the court. “I will investigate stayed fine situation at once,” County Clerk Sipe said,“and if it is up to myself or to my deputy to issue orders to jail defendants in auch cases where the fines and costs are unpaid and over due, I will see to it that such action is taken as the law requires." EFFECT TO NULLIFY ORIGINAL JUDGMENT. The effect of unpaid and overstayed fines and costs in the Criminal Court is virtually to nullify the original Judgment. Unless a fine Is stayed for a ninety-day period with the proper replevin surety, the defendant must remain in jail or s penal Institution until the corresponding time as expressed in the total fine and costs are served. By the failure of Judge James A. Colllne to instruct the clerk In the past to Issue orders to Jail defendants after the stay time has expired, the result Is that’ many defendants who were found guilty of violating the State prohibition law In the Criminal Court, have escaped paying their fines nnd costs in full and were released from Jail or the Indiana State Farm at the expiration of the sentence only. The Judgment records show that in numerous cases defendants have been favored by being granted additional time to pay the fine and costs after the stay time has expired and after first notice had been sent to tha replevin bail. Action taken by Prohccutor Evans has resulted in Louis and Julius Haag paying their fines and costs In full and also In the famous Dennla Bush case.
