POLITICAL ROW ON IN LEAGUE TUESDAY EVE (Continued From Page One.) combe) continued his connections 'with and support of the league he could rest assured that he would have the full support of the organization through the election.” Claycombe came back a few days later and said to Young that he had studied the whole situation and was going to stand by the league. That was in July, soms time. Delbert O. Wilmeth, -republican candidate for the nomination tor city Judge, defeated !n the primary and a member of the league, advised Claycombe to remain dormant in the Hartman Garvin fight, Harrington said. It was after this that Claycombe went to Young and requested his resignation In favor of a Shank man. according to Harrington. Young, according to Harrington, told Claycombe he would put the matter before the executive committee. The executive committee refused to sanction Claycombe's proposal, Harrington said. ENTERED FIRST TRAINING CAMP. Claycombe in his fcply said Harrington's charge that he told Young he was only in the Army three weeks was untrue. “I was in the first officers’ training camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison for , *igbt weeks,” said* Claycombe, ‘‘at the end of which time I was honorably discharged because of an injury to an ey*. I was called in the draft and rejeeteiL for the same reason. I attempted to get my draft board to waive the defect, but they kept on turning me down. All they would do was to refer the ease to thadvisoi'y board. The advisory board never took action. I tried to get into various branches of the service, but always failed because of the physical defect and because the draft board had not passed upon my case finally. ‘‘What I told Young was tnat I understood certain Democrats were attacking the league's support of me on account of my slight military service. I told him then and there that if he thought I ought to I would drop out. At that time, nor at any other time up to within the. last two months was anything said about my supporting Garvin. It was only recently that they made their demands upon me to support Garvin. “I have always told them I could not do that, but 1 have tried to keep the matter quiet and avoid any publicity that might injure the league.” BARES QRGYIN ‘FATTY’S" ROOM, BUT IN SECRET (Continued From Page One.) stomach and evidently in pain, groaning. 1 looked at the young lady on the bed and realized that the young lady had had something to tiring, and said: ’I guess that little girl has a bun on and has indigestion.' ” Later Sherman said the women in the party took off what of Miss Rappe's clothes were left on her adn “put her in a bath tub directly in my line of vision through Mr. ArbuckJe’s door.” When Miss Kappe did not revive the house physician was summoned and Arbuekle rented another room for the girl around the foruer from Arbuckle's, Sherman 'said. ARBUCKLE CASE HEARD TODAY SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22—Whether •or not Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle. rotund comedian of the movies, must face jury trial for murder was to be decided at the preliminary hearing on the charges against him, opening in police court this afternoon. The hearing was expected to give the first real inkling of the defense of Arbuckle against the charge of the State that he. by an attack, caused injuries which resulted in the de3th of beautiful Virginia Rapps, “best dressed woman of the movies.' Until today the defense has maintained an impenetrable silence, but with the cross-examination of the witnesses to be placed on the stand by the State In an effort to secure commitment of Arbuckle to trial before the Superior Court for murder the determined battle to free the former film star was to be under way. The morning was spent In feverish preparation for the opening of the hear lng. Frank Dominguez, chief of counsel for tne defense, arrived from Los Angeles and plunged Into conference with liis associates, Milton Cohen and Charles ‘ H. Brennan. On the same train came A1 Semnaohcr, manager of the dead film actress, whose story before a Los Angles grand jury late yesterday injected anew sensation Into the case. Semnacher was taken before District Attorney Brady for further questioning as to his sworn statement that Arbuckle had admitted the commission of an act against Virginia Rappe which might have resulted in her illness. Arbuckle’s alleged admission was made, according to Semnacher. in the presence of Fred Fishback, Lowell Sherman and Harry McCullough. Fishback already has been questioned regarding it and made, according to the district attorney, an “evasive reply.” To newspaper men, however, Fishback passed the lie to Semnaeber's statement pointblank, denying Arbuckle had ever discussed in his presence what took place in the hotel room. CITY DEFENDS SOILDUMPERS ‘‘lf the city wants to get into this we ntay arrange for it to do so," said Frank r. Baker, chief counsel for the Enterprise Civic League, today in commenting upon announcement of Samuel Ashby, corporation counsel, that the city will participate as a friend in court in the trials of vault-cleaners against whom the league has had affidavits filed. The league is trying to stop the dumping of night soil on Sellers farm. Mr. Ashby contends no law has been violated by the establishment and use of the dump. ‘‘We have not desired to do anything spectacular that would involve the city in this matter.” said Mr. Baker. “We simply want this dumping to be stopped. However, it looks like the city feels itself to be a defendant. 1 don't know. Maybe we'll have to arrange it so we can consider the city as such." Affadivits against vault cleaners, who have continued to use the dump since the league began ils crusade last Friday, will be filed today or tomorrow, it was said. Trials of the fifteen men originally arrested will begin in city court at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon. Mrs. H. H. T. Moore Dies at Rockville Special to The Time*.

GRIEVANCES GIVEN VENT AT MINE SESSION (Continued From Page One.) by criticising the action of the West Virginia miners last night in condemning his opposition to President Lewis. He declared that he demanded the same right of free speech and fair trial as is demanded by the West Virginia miners. He declared that the officers of the Illinois district are not defiant but are determined to uphold the right of district autonomy. “This case,” he declared, “has not been correctly presented by the report of the president or in the report of the committee on officers’ reports. The decision which was reversed was not that of the State executive board, but of the State convention.” Mr. Farrington then read from the proceedings of the convention to show that the miners of the State had Instructed their officers not to itemize the report, DOES NOT KNOW TO WHOM MONEY PAID. “We are not* defiant until the United Mine Workers of America tell us they are willing to deny us the right of district autonomy,” he said. “I never handled one cent of that $27,000. As God is iny judge. Jf I was called on to tell this convention to whom that money was paid I couldn't do if, ftj I don't know, bul the district secretary and the auditors know.” Mr. Farrington said that in the fight the officers are attempting to carry out the instructions of the men whom they serve. . He pointed out that the reason the expenditures were not itemized is that the union <1 id not wish its enemies to kno.w who was employed. The Illinois president accused President Lewis of sending into Illinois two circulars “which could have no effect but to place officers of our district under suspicion/* Toward the close of his talk, which lasted during most of the morning session, Mr. Farrington told of financial as sistance given other unions. He had got down to one of the Pennsylvania (lis tricts when a delegate in the rear of the bail arose to remark that in his opinion Mr. Farrington was “a big bum.” With this the convention went wild and it was several minutes before order could be restored. WEST VIRGINIAN MAKES ANSWER. At the close of Mr. Farrington's talk. Laurence Dwyer, one of the leaders of the striking miners in Rest Virginia, gained the floor and declared that “the unfair inferences of Mr. Farrington concerning West Virginia cannot go unanswered.” Confusion broke out again when Mr. Dwyer remarked that statements Mr. Farrington made concerning the West Virginia trouble some time ago were “damnable lies.” “We want to tell yon, .President Lewis,

f.nd you, Vice President Murray, and you, Secretory Green, that you have our support as long as you perform your duties as you have in the past,” he shouted in conclusion. This speech was followed by debate amidst considerable confusion on the part of delegates from Illinois. A number of the debaters had such a foreign twist to their language that It was nearly unintelligible. When the convention adjourned at noon the debate had not been completed and was expected to be resumed In the afternoon. Other parts of the Lewis report also were expected to be made subjects of debate. A vote of confidence In President Lewis was taken at a meeting of the West Virginia miners at the Hotel English last night. The gathering was closed, but it was stated that the delegates unanimously adopted a resolution approving the present administration and condemning Frank Farrington, president of the Illinois district, for his reported opposition to Mr. Lewis. MINERS HISS NAME OF GOVERNOR MORGAN. The miners also proposed the postponement of the West Virginia district convention until leaders in that district are released from Jail where they are held for their alleged part in the recent mine “war.” Feeling in the convention Is bitter on the subject of the West Virginia situation. The name of Governor Morgan was repeatedly hissed by the delegates. The session yesterday afternoon was taken up largely with routine reports, particularly that of the committee on miners' home and pensions. The report j recited In detail the efforts of the com ■ mittee to obtain Federal and State old | age pension laws and showed that in every instance they were unsuccessful. The report advocated the establishment of an old age pension system in the international organization. This was fol lowed by speeches by several of the older delegates, but President Lewis finally cut off debate, explaining that an opportunity for debate will be given later. Want Rates Same A petition asking that the present gas rates at Greeneastle be continued In es feet for an indefinite period was filed with the public service commission of Indiana by the Greeneastle Gas and Electric Lighting Company today. The petition states that although the company was granted an increase in rates last November of about 42.3 per cent over the pre-war rates that it has been unable to operate at a profit, the net loss for the first seven months of 1921 amounting to $1,194.97.

URGES REMISSION OF FRANCHISE TAX Street Railway Cos. Satisfied With Jitney Deal. Satisfaction with the jitney regulation ordinance introduced in the city council Monday evening was expressed today by Dr. Heury Jameson, president of the board of directors of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company. Tho executive committee of the directors yesterday discussed the jitney ordinance and tho one continuing in force the provisions of the franchise surrendered early In the summer. The street railway company has contended that it would have to be relieved of jitney competition in order to stop a loss of $1,200 a day. While the company was given practically whnt it desired in the jitney ordinance the contract ordinance is so framed as to give city officials the right to demand that the company continue to pay the much discussed $30,000 per year franchise tax and for paving between tracks. The company contends that it must be relieved of these burdens as well as jitney competition in order to continue to charge a 5-cent fare. Dr. Jameson reiterated his frequent statements to tho effect that the company cannot stand the strain of the tax and paving costs and keep a low fare.

Police guards have been established around the morgues and it is all they can do to hold back the screaming, weeping, surging masses. Every family In the wrecked town suffered bereavement and many persons far distant from the scene were killed either by the shock or by flying debris. Many of the bodies were so badly torn and mangled a3 to mak' Identification Impossible. It is expected a public funeral will be held for these. Some of the victims were completely blown to pieces. The exact number of killed can not be determined until they are checked up through the company pay roll. The relief workers had a grewsome task. As they tore through the mass of wreckage they came upon human legs and arras and bodies from which the beads had been torn. Graphic stories were told by survivors.

Many of them were naked, as they had just completed bathing after their shift in the works when the blast let go. IRON GATES ARE TORN LIKE PAPER. Iron gates In the plant were torn to pieces like paper. Strong wooden beams were reduceu to toothpicks. Enormous steel tanks were crushed together and blow up like a line of exploding soap bubbles. Farmers in their fields two miles from the plant were killed by the shock. The wartime bombardments of Oppau. Mannheim and Ludwigshafen by allied aviators were nothing compared to the explosion. Thebe were no newspapers now being published, the plants having been damaged by the blasts. Late dispatches place the total damage nt 200,000,000 marks (normally $48,000,000 in American money) of which 138,000,000 marks is covered by insurance. At the Mannheim office of the Badisbe Anllinfrabrik company It was learned 4,000 tons of saltpetre that was stored in the plant had exploded. The saltpetre previously had been examined and pronounced safe and nonexplosive. The Red Cross has started relief expeditions for the scene. Scores of families are camping in the open. Many are cooking their meals on the smoking debris. Ammonia fumes permeate the atmosphere many miles arouud. Many French soldiers were injured. They were on French Rhine boats which patrol the river near Mannheim. French troops, both black and white, are on duty at Oppau. Three hundred of the dead have been

identified, according to a message from Mannheim. The crater dug out of the earth by the terrific blast was 170 yards long and 150 yards wide. Soon after the blast water began seeping into the great hole from underground springs, opened up by the force of the explosion. Debris was piled up thirty feet on scores of bodies. Relief workers saved the lives of many injured workmen who were buried eighteen feet under the debris. Some children were killed by the explosion ifoEfce while they lay in the beds. At Mannheim, many Jumped from windows in panic. The force of the blast can be gauged by the fact that nine gas reservoirs at Oppau, each containing 50,000 cubic metres of explosive content, have entirely disappeared. PLANES, DEADLY GASSES, WEAPONS FOR FUTURE WAR (Continued From Page One.) do we dare take that risk? If your infantry, artillery and cavalry cannot protect your cities from attack and destruction from the air, does it not seem to you that more emphasis should be placed on securing that protection than has been placed in the past? “There Is only one answer to the problem at present. We must have an air Navy second to none In the world and we must be ready to use the most effective protection against any gas that an enemy might use. The strongest retardent to the use of gas against cities is the fear of reprisal, and if we are ready to re

taltate we will probably never have to use it.” Two sessions, one an Army and Navy session and the other an alloy steel session, and an exhibition of airplane changing and parachute leap were this morning's features of the convention. The speakers o’, the program for the Army and Navy session were F. G. Laagenburg, metallurgist in charge of the metallurgical department at the Watertown arsenal; Commander Leary of the United States Navy; Major Mclntosh of the air service, and Mr. Braduer.
