ARBUCKLE, ON STAND, DENIES WRONGDOING (Continued Prom Page One.) tlon of fingerprint taking through Ignatius MeCorthy. “Roscoe Arbuckl6,” intoned his chief of counsel. Gavin McXab. The famous defendant arose, and skillfully maneuvered hts corpulent body down between the press and counsel tables to the clerk’s desk, where the oath was administered. “Yes,” he answered, in a clear voice, o>.s the clerk mumbled the Injunction, “to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.” XF.ATI.Y DRESSED, FRESHLY BARKERED. He was dressed in a neat blue suit and freshly barbered. “Miss Rappe arrived first,” he said, in answer to MeXab’s question. “Then Mrs. Delmont, Miss Prevon and Miss Blake. “I was dressed In a bathrope and slippers.” Here the handsome plush bathrobe worn by Arbuckle and his slippers were Introduced as evidence and identified. “I saw Miss Rappe in 1219 first about 3 o'clock. I know the time because I had an engagement with Mrs. May Taube and I was preparing to meet her. “Miss Rappe was in the bathroom on the floor. When I opened the door, it struck her. She was vomiting. 1 picked her up and carried her to 1211) at her request and placed her on a bed. She asked for water and I got her two glasses. I washed her face. I went out a minute and when 1 came back, she was lying between the beds, having fallen off the one on which I had placed her. “She was holding her stomach and vomited again while I held her head. 1 then went to 1220 to get Mrs. Delmont and the other ladies." ASKED FOR HELP PROM OTHER GIRLS. “I then went out Into 1220 and tola M’ss Prevon and later Mrs. Belmont. I asked the girls to stop her from tearing her clothes off. I went into room 1219 again later and saw Miss Rappe on the bed nude. Mrs. Delmont had some ice on the back of Miss Rappe's head. I asked what the lee was doing there. Mrs. Delmont said she knew how to take care of Virginia. h “I told Mrs. Delmont to shut up or I irould throw her out of the window. Mrs. Taube then called Mr. Boyle, the hotel manager, and a room was arranged for her. "I put a bathrobe on her and moved her to 1227. I took her down to 1227. but she kept sl'pplng and I called Boyle to help me with her. “The door from 1219 to 1220 was not locked. The window shade was up. “I never heard A'irginia say. ‘he hurt me’ or anything that was Intelligible.” DENIES HAVING TALK WITH KEYIN'ACHEB. “I never did have a talk with A1 Semnacher about putting ice on Miss Rappe’s body,” the comedian declared. He talked in a loud tone of voice and frequently arose to demonstrate his testimony. “I never placed my hand over hers on a door In 1219,” he said in reply to a question. "Xo. never,” he emphasized. He then denied a conversation related by Peter Nnrgaard as a State witness In which Xargaard declared Arbuckle, at Culver City studio, had offered him SSO for the key to a room occupied by Miss Rappe three years ago. “I have told you everything that occurred.” said Arbuckle In his final direct examination. Cross examination was conducted by Assistant District Attorney Friedman. Arbuckle again denied having any such conrer-ntion with Xargaard as the latter had described and declared he could n“t recall ever having seen Xargaard at Culver City. “Yes. I was at Culver City at Lehrman's studios,” he replied to a question from Friedman. * “I have known A'irginia Rappo five or six years.” he continued, answering the Jkearching questions fired at him by “Flshback said he was go'n to telephone for A'irginia. hut the first I knew she was coming was when she knocked at the iloor. r was in 1219 when she came, but I went into 1220 almost immediately.” AND HE AVORE “Rtl K PAJAMAS." pajamas I wore were silk.” he said Jn response to the prosecution’s question. “I stayed in 1220 for about three htvnrs. “Mrs. Delmont came in a few minutes after Virginia. I never knew Mrs. Delmont until she rarae. ’•On<>e I henrd Virginia use the phone In Room 1220. She called the party on the other end of the wire, who was a Airs Spreckles. “AYe were having lunch and breakfast when Miss Prevon came. ‘■lt was my breakfast and I drank co ffo. On another tabip there was gin, orange Juice, white rock and Scotch whi-ky. The whisky and gin was in the closet of 1221 and Flshback brought it in, about the time A'irginia arrived.” Arbuekle’s attitude on the stand was pleasing and he appeared to make a good witness for himself. He appeared like a school boy, questioned by a school teacher “Miss Rappe suggested music. She wn-’ted a piano, but 1 sent for a Yirtrola. “AVe danced and drank about all afternoon until l went down to the ballroom altont -tud returned about midnight.'' Askeo r he had drank anything, Arbuckle saiu: “Yes. sure, after breakfast, I drank highballs.” LITTLE GROVNDS FOR CROSS QPIZ. “Fishback left about 1:30 oy 1 :4-5 to go to the beach. He came back in -an and a half or so.” V The direct questioning of Arbuckle was well conducted and gave the State little grounds for cross-questioning. “I never saw Miss Rappe dance.” Arbuckle said. “I danced with Miss Blake.” Questioned by Friedman as to whether he had askpd any one to leave the party Arbnckle said : “I asked Sherman to ask Fortlonis to leave his room, but I nerer ask“d any one else to leave. “Mrs. Taube came about 1:30 p. m. and stayed five or ten minutes. 1 told her

Bandit Mistakes Men for Officers Gives Himself Up DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 2S.—Unnerved by the mistaken belief that two men opposite him in a train coming to Detroit from Philadelphia were detectives, John Piquette, 17 surrendered to them and gave up $5,000 said by police to be part of the $28,000 loot obtained In a hold-up Saturday at Chelsea, ‘ Mass. The men, Alichael J. McDonough, Detroit, and AA'illiam M. Corney, Chicago Heights, Chicago, posed as officers upon hearing the boy’s alleged confession, and took him to police headquarters here. Piquette said he was hired by three men in Detroit and taken to Chelsea. Two men were captured there and a fourth, also of Detroit, is at large.

Fishback had my ear. She said she would come back. She asked me who all the people were and I told her, ‘Search me.’ I didn't introduce her to Miss Rappe, I think. “She came back shortly after Fishback and stayed until after Mis* Itapjie was taken to Room 1227. “She seemed peeved when she left because all of the people were there." SAID HE SAW GIRL GO INTO ROOM 1221. "Yes, I saw Miss Rappe go into Room 1221,” Arbnckle replied to the prosecution’s question. “Miss Rappe may have had a hat on when she met Mrs. Taube. “I saw her go into 1221 but do not know how much time passed before she went into 1219. “I don’t know how much time passed after Miss Rappe went to 1219 before I followed her," Arbuckle stated. “I went into 1219 about 3 p. m. It was my Intention to get dressed for Mrs. Taube said she would call back. "The people kept coming in and I tried to be sociable, I did not want to insuit them.” Arbuckle then explained by cross-ex-amination that he had loaned his car to Fred Fishback and that he was waiting on its return to take May Taube for a ride. “Sure, the clock was running.” Fatty answered to one question. “I noticed it was running at. 3 p. in. and when Miss Blake left I never compared it with a watch, because I never have one.” Capt.

UNIONS SCORE SLURRING NOTE SENT TO SHANK Denounce Employers* Association Secretary as Merely Hired Agitator. Statements of A. J. Allen, secretary of the Associated Employers of Indianapolis in a recent open letter to Mayor-elect Samuel Lewis Shank are scathingly criticised by a committee of the Central Labor Union in a letter which it announced today it has sent the incoming chief executive. Most of the criticism was directed to a paragraph In Air. Allen’s letter in which he wrote to Air. Shank; "There are times when the Industrial situation of the city will require me, as the business agent of said associations, to confer with your law enforcement department.” and used the phrase “certain emergencies.” AA'hen the Central Labor Union asked Air. Allen's association to cooperate with it and the A’eterans of Foreign AVars in the recent Armistice day celebration, the labor letter charges he wrote across the post card sent to him that “the celebration should take place under the auspices of a reeogn'yed patriotic organization.” The union leaders who signed the letter are Charles AY. Kern, president; Louis C. Schwartz, vice president: Louis A. Barth, secretary of the Central Labor I'nion; Adolph J. Fritz, secretary of the Indiana State Federation of Labor, and Theodore Perry of Typographical Union Xo. 1. BRAND ALLEN' AS PAID AGITATOR. After designating Mr. Allen as the “paid business agent’’ of the Employers’ Association, the Foundrymen's Association anil the Indianapolis branch of the Metal Trades’ Association, the letter said : “His duties, according to his interpretation of them seem to be to promote strife and discord among the workers of the city. His conception of Justice seems to be that employers may organize and the workers should not. “The tone of his communication to you seems to be that you should allow him to dictate to you just how your administration deal with the toilers of this city—that you should take orders from bun. “In reference to his communication we might say that we could not let this damnable slur on the part of Mr, Allen ire by without making a few remarks or commenting on the same. “First, under the caption of ’Assuring of Support,' he states. It was his intention to convey this message to you in person. How is it that he waited so long in extending his congratulations? “Is it possible that the stunning Mow you delivered against his kind on election day took him these many days to overcome? AYe might say that the great Committee of One Hundred, all familiar names in the roster of the employers’ association, which came out to save the world, made such a rank failure. It is our understanding that every member of this committee is a member of these so-called great organizations that are so willing now to cooperate with you in any manner.” The letter challenges Mr. Allen to show where he ever fostered Industrial peace and refers to the efforts of employers to get the State constabulary bill and the anti-picketing Dili through the last Legislature and wants to know If this Is the kind of cooperation “Mr. Alien and his gang is offering to you at this time?" SAYI.A BOR ASKS ONLY SQUARE DEAL. Reference is made to Mr. Allen's statement that he hopes to become personally acquainted with members of the administration and comment thereon as follows: “Labor is not squirming for a personal acquaintance with the heads of your law enforcing departments, but asks that It ho given that square deal that was so prominent In your campaign utterances and the recognized heads of labor in this city arc more than willing to cooperate with its prestige and influence to the end that industrial strife will be held to a minimum. “While wo are willing to admit* that we have some radicals in our ranks, hut are not willing to admit that we ; have as great a radical a tills Mr. A. J. j Alien.” j The communication concludes : “AA'e trust that your administration 1 will i>e a successful one and assuring i you of a real. full, hearty cooperation on behalf of all the affiliated and nonafflllated local organizations of the Indianapolis Central Labor Union and assuring you we have no axes to grind or speI rial favor. l - to ask and have no desire to dictate the policies you shall follow, but only asking a square deal for everybody, we remain.”

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28,1921.

JUDGE DENIES RULING WOMAN BE OPERATED ON DENA’EU, Colo., Nov. 28.—Mrs. Clyde Cossidente, mother of five children, the oldest of whom Is eight, will not have to submit to a sterilization operation to prevent further propagation. ' J’udge Royal R. Graham, who was declared to have issued in the Juvenile Court here an order that such an operation be performed or the mother’s brood taken from her, because of the squalor in which the family was living, today, denied he had made such ruling. “Shortly after the hearing in the case,” Judge Graham said, “I replied in answer to a question that such an order might be entered if the conditions made it necessary and both parents gave their consent.” “There is no law that would force Mrs. Cossidente to give up her children or submit to such an operation as an alternative,” he added. The reported ruling of Judge Graham created a tremendous stir in social service circles in Denver -and was the inspiration for many sermons from Sunday pulpits. JAPAN READY TO ACCEPT 50 PCT. NAVY—IF (Continued Prom Page One.) from Tokio to hold out strougly for an increase in the ratio to 10-10 7. It is understood that Japan will formally lay such a proposition before the powers at the first meeting of the navi committee. The absolute rejection of U ; Japanese proposal by the American au horiHes is assured. American experts foci Japan has been treated liberally la the 5-3-3 ratio. They point out that the three :o five program was decided upon only after many experts had insisted that Japan’s allowance of capital ships be placed at 50 per cent instead of 60. The opinion also is held by some American officials that Japan secretly 1* pleased by the ratio of three to five, and that she is making a fight on it with the idea that by seeming to yield reluctantly she may be able to get concessions further on in the conference, perhaps In the matter of auxiliary ships. It can be stated authorlatively that British experts are one with the Americans in the capita! ship ratio. \Yh!le American officials depreciate any suggestion of a split in the conference, it can be stated authoritatively that the American delegation is willing to see the conference stand or fall on the Japanese acceptance. Until the capital ship ratio is settled, the experts are r.ot concerning themselves with the objections raised by both Japan and England with regard to auxiliary ships such us submarines, light cruisers anil airplane carriers. The big ships form the hub of the whole Hughes program and until an agri>ement is readied on these, the experts are giving little thought to the other craft. One thing at a time is*their motto. SHOWDOWN KXrECTED LATE IN THE WEEK. It is not likely that the showdown will come until late in the week. The Japanese have received from Tokio a great quantity of technical and other data which first will have to be laid before the experts of the other powers for examination. This will take considerable time, "and all to no purpose too,” said one American expert. It is considered probable an open session of the conference will be arranged when Japan officially accepts the program. The belief prevails that the Japanese will ask for an open session to announce their adherence to the American proposals and at the same time to give a public explanation of the reasons for their protracted insistence upon a capital ship increase. Unless there is such a session arranged, it seems improbable that there will tie another plenary session soon. Far Eastern affairs are still In the committee stage and are likely to remain so for some time. Chinese pdstofflees and foreign courts are not subjects that lend themselves readily to discussions in which the public can get enthusiastically excited. The Japanese may carry one feature of their substitute program to a point where It may possibly endanger the conference. This concerns the Mutsu, the latest of their great battleships constructed under the eight and eight program, and which the delegation Is Insistent Japan be allowed to retain. Members of the Japanese delegation assert there would he a great outcry in Japan against scrapping of this ship. American opinion is in favor of allowing the Mutsu going to the ash heap The Britain attitude is uncertain. it may be possible, however. In the opinion of rome American experts, for a compro mise to lie reached without altering thp ratio of big ships in the Hughes program, allowing Jnpnn to keep tho Mutsu and the United Stntes to retain some of her latest launched vessels. RECEIVER ASKED FOR COMPANY. A petition asking that a receiver be appointed for the Franklin Stores Company, a corporation, today was filed in Superior Court, room 3, by Katherine Jameson, William and Christina Arbuckle, who do business under the firm name of Ar buckle Brothers of Chicago. It Is alleged that the Franklin Stores Company is Insolvent and is indebted to piantiffs in the tho stun of $218.28.

CAMPAIGN OPENS FOR WOMEN’S MEMBERSHIP Chamber of Commerce Does Not Set Quota for Live - Leaders. The start of a campaign to bring into the membership of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce the women of the city who are Interested In civic affairs will be made at a meeting Wednesday noon at the Chamber of Commerce, at which fifteen captains, who are to work under Mrs. Felix T. McWhirter, will announce the names of their team workers. According to Mrs. McWhirter, the campaign will run for at least ten days. No definite membership goal has been set, but it is expected that every woman who is interested in civic affairs will become a member of the chamber during this time. Mrs. McWhirter was appointed chairman of the woman’s division of a membership committee of the Chamber of Commerce by Harper J. Rausberg, chairman, during the last membership campaign, when approximately 500 new individual members were secured by the chamber. Because of the lateness of the acceptance of the appointment it was agreed by Mr. Rausberg and Mrs. McWhirter thtt the committee would not start to fun'tion until the first of December. "The Chamber of Commerce needs more women members and the women need to belong to the Chamber of Commerce,” said Mrs. McWhirter. “There are thousands of women in Indianapolis who are doing splended work, hut in most cases the work has been along some individual line. By coming into the Chahmber of Commerce the work of the women of this city will be focused at one point, thus making it more effective and bringing about a condition by which more can be accomplished for the greater good of Indianapolis.” FARMER SEES SON KIDNAPED Fred Kaiser Asks Police to Find Missing Youth.
