PATHOLOGISTS VIEW ORGANS OF MISS RAPPE Cross Sections Will Be Examined for Signs of Disease. By ELLIS n. MARTIN. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.—Shudders passed through the courtroom today as the most gruesome exhibit of tlhe entire trial of Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle was placed In evidence. Michael Brown, deputy coroner, identified the organs removed from the body of Virginia Rappe at the autopsy which had been preserved in a glass Jar. This was for the purpose of making a microscopic examination. The exhibit was placed In the care of Dr. William Ophuls, who, with two other physicians, on orders of court, will make the examination. Although the State had forty rebutal witnesses summoned, it was reported as court convened that .District Attorney Brady might close his rebuttal case! by night. MBSE TAKES STAND. Irene Morgan, nurse and a defense witness, was recalled by the Satte as the first rebuttal witness. , She stated that she had served overseas with the English forces, having enlisted with the Canadian expeditionary forces In IVI6. “STatty” engaged his spare time in reading the transcript of his testimony. The crowd had dwindled to normal, the stellar attraction having made his appearance yf^terday. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29—The State was confronted today with the task of pulling down an imposing structure of innocence built up by counsel defending Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle. charged with manslaughter, the keystone of which was the simple, yet flawless story told on the stand by 'the defendant himself. In rebuttal the State may attack only such evidence as was presented by the defense. And so skilfully did tfce defense build their case that there is little left to attack. By eliminating character witnesses, the defense left no loophole through which the State might bring in tales of other gay parties to confound the obese comedian. Witnesses who have testified for the defense, Including Arbuckle, may be attacked in rebuttal as to truth and veracity. Some of the witnesses will be attacked, but the defense so built its case that no point depends upon the testimony of auy one witneas.

Time Goes Right Ahead But Sewage Plant Doesn’t Delay in Completion o f Work Brings to Light Complex Muddle . Another chapter in the long history of delays and errors in the construction cf the city sewage dis osal plant at Sellers farm under Chairman Lucius B. Swift’s board of sanitary commissioners was added today when it was discovered that although the contract date for competition of the first division of the plant was Oct. 1 no move to take the contractor to task has been made and it still “is for the board to determine” what it is going to do about it. The first division comprises the two-mile conduit for carrying raw sewage under White river and across two miles of commons to Sellers farm from the Raymond street interceptor. Mr. Swift admitted that the conduit is not complete, but said it is in the last stage. He was asked if the completion date was not Oct. 1 and he rep Led that he did not remember, but thought it was Nov. 1.

COMPLETION DATE IS LONG PAST. It was pointed out that the completion date, even if it were Nov. 1, is long since past and when asked what the board was going to do about it. he replied: “Tbat is far the board to determine.” The board, it is said, asked the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company, under contract to complete the conduit, to use more equipment and men in order to speed the crossing under White River early in the fail. Trouble hns beset the construction of this unit from the outset. It will be a year on Thursday since the original date for completion fell due and still the conduit is only about half way across White River. It is completed from the river to the plant site, it is said.’ Warped into the history of the construction of this unit is the reletting of the contract to the bonding company for the original contractor at a price $22,535 higher than the original contract upon which the bonding company was surety. The original contractor was the William Grace Company an Illinois corporation, and the bondinr company was the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company of Baltimore Will IT. Hays, then Republican national chairman, was reported to be a vice president of this company at the time the agreement for a higher price was negotiated. ANOTHER CONCERN TAKES CONTRACT. The I'nited States Fidelity and Guaranty Company is the firm now under contract to complete the first division which has failed to get the work done twb months after the contract date for completion without the sanitary board having decided what it is doing to do about it, according to Mr. Swift’s own version. In order to understand the extent to which of the first division has been delayed, it is necessary to review the entire history of the construction. The sewage disposal plant is being erected in three divisions. The first division is as has been outlined above. The second division, on which a contract was let this fall, comprises the pump and screen house and equipment, thickener tanks and conduits within the plant eonneering various machinery, and the third unit, plans for which have not been fully developed, will include the 'lnal steps in separation of the sewage into solids and water, the latter being rendered pure enough to be emptied into (Continued on Page Eight.)

Coincident with the meeting of the Indiana war memorial board at the Statehouse to select an architectural adviser and elect officers today the Marion County commissioners took the first stop towape carrying out their plan to acquire tb< block alloted to the county to obaln in he memorial plaza scheme. Tie commissioners considered the appointment of live appraisers. Seven appraisers ana two architectural advisers to the appraisers, appointed by the city to value the block which the city intends to purchase will meet to organize and plan their work at 10 o’clock Wednesday morning. “We are conferring regarding the appointment of possibly five appraisers to fix the value of the various lots which make up the south section of the plaza site for which we hav’e authorized a bond issue of $1115,000,” President Carlin 11. Shank of the commissioners stated today. “We will not issue bonds until we need them, although the board has authorized a total bond issue of $915,000,” Mr. Si ank stated. it is understood that the commissioners have not decided definitely on the appraisers. The appointing of the appraisers Is the first step under the law that the commissioners must take. The Indiana War Memorial board met at the Statehouse at 2 o’clock this afternoon. The adviser to be chosen will assist the board in deciding upon the kind of building to be erected in the Memomial plaza, with the $2,000,000 appropriated by the Legislature, and supervise the construction for the board.

Sentences of eighteen months at the Federal prison at Leavenworth, Kati., were imposed on Mark B. i.n.rle and Theodore T. Hull, Evansville lawyers, today in Federal Court by Judge Albert 11. Anderson after they had been found guilty of aiding and abetting in the misappropriation of funds of the Mercantile Bank of that city. Carl Ileldt, formerly assistant cashier, who entered a pica of guilty to the charge of misappropriating the funds of the bank, was given a two-year sentence. In parsing sontenv 1 , Judge Anderson said that Heldt hi and played the part of tli© man In frankly admitting his guilt and in showing no disposition to pass the responsibility on to some other person's shoulders. However, the court added, that his degree of guilt was greater than that of the other defendants because he had committed breach of trust while they had only aided and abetted.

Ileldt made a statement in which he assumed his share of the guilt, and added that he always had instructions that checks of officers of the bank were to b* (Continued on I*age Eight.)

Convicted as ‘Tiger’ Thrice in Two Years Stann, Betrayed by New Nail, Gets $250 Fine and ISO Days. For the third time in less than two years Charles S. Stann was found guilty | today in city court of operating a blind tiger. This time he drew a fine of $250 ; and a .term of 180 days on the Indiana State Farm. Stann lives on Raymond street west of White River, southeast of the stockyards, and when he was arrested Nov. 12 Lieutenant Cox and a squad of police, who went to his place with n search warrant, discovered one of the cleverest and most carefully conj cenled stills ever found in this county. J The whole cares illy concocted schenu ! was spoiled by one bright, new, shiny nail that glittered among a lot of rusty ones op the side of a corn crib. When the police arrived Stann was standing near a small corn crib. When j Lieutenant Cox examined it he noticed j the one new nail. Calling for an ax hr | was nbout to chop his way into the crib when Stann said. “Wait and I’ll show you.” lie then removed three ears of corn which disclosed a handle. Pulling'thii handle opened a space sufficient to permit a man to pass through. A tunne’ led from underneath the cornetib to r larger crib not far awny. Under thir crib was a big excavation in which wa: j a ten-gallon still merrily sizzling away over a gasoline stove. Stann was convicted in city court in March, 1920, and w is fined SIOO and given 180 days on the Indiana State Farm, i James P. Goodrich, then Governor, came | to his rescue after thirty days had been i served and granted Stann one of his numerous pardons. Later Stann was fined SSO and costs on a blind tiger charge, but he escaped without any days. Following He finding of Judge Walier Pritchard, Stann appealed. The appeal bond of 81.000 was signed by Frank Kish, 1415 Bridge street.

English to Allow Germans Ample Time for Debts Dr. Rat he non Will Ask Britain for Moratorium of Term of Years. By 3. XV. T. MASON. The presence in London of Dr. Walter Rathenau, former German minister of construction to confer with Sir Robert Horno, British chancellor of the exchequer, Is the most important step since the peace conference toward the economic recovery of Europe. Sir Robert Horne believes Germany must be allowed to regain her industrial strength before Europe can return to normal. He also believes Germany must be glveu time to pay the indemnity. The establishment of a moratorium whereby Germany would pay nothing for a term of years, Is being favorably considered by the British. Dr. Rnthennu’s journey to London undoubtedly Is connected with these momentous maters. I>r. Rathenau is Germany's real ruler. He has the fullest confidence of Chancellor Wirtli. The British government has had Us own experts at work in Germany for some timemaking reports on industrial conditions. l)r. Rathenau in London will be interrogated to furnish confirmation of these reports. Both sources of information are liKely to show the need of urgent measures to help the Germans to their feet.

SEWAGE PLANT BONDS ORDERED TOTAL $600,000 Sanitary Commissioners Provide for Construction of Disposal Outfit. Advertising for the sale of SOOO,OOO worth of sewage disposal plant construction bonds was ordered today in resolutions adopted by the board of sanitary commissioners. One issue of $350,000 is offered for bids Dec. 21 and another for $250,000 for Dec. 30. Both are five-year, 6 per cent issues. The $350,000 Issue is one with which the sanitary board has had considerable difficulty. It originally was advertised sev oral months ago. No bids were received A few w-eeks ago it was readvertised and several good bids obtulned. The board started to award the issue to the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company, but attorneys for the bidder discovered that the advertising specified that the issue war for both sewage disposal construction and garbage collection equipment purchase. As adopted today the resolution calls for the issue for sewage disposal construction alone. The $250,000 issue also Is for sewage disposal and is necessary because bills have accumulated until they will almost eat up the $300.000, It was said. The board also received bids upon approximately $20,000 worth of equipment for the second unit of the sewage disposal plant. The equipment to be bought Includes four vertiele motors, one vacuum pump, two centrifugal pumps, one of 500 and the other of 250 gallon per minute capacity and miscellaneous electrical apparatus.

UNDUE ALARM OVER EUROPE, SAYS HOUSE Anglo’- French Feeling Is Ages Old. U. S. TO PACIFY French Do Not Conceal Their Attitude. Special tn Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By COL. EDWARD M. HOUSE. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. -29.—The statement made by Biiand, the editorial comment in the London Chronicle and Lord Curzon's address delivered during the week should be taken in sequence. Another item should also be added to the list, and that is the treaty which Prance recently concluded with Turkey. Thor© is no doubt that even the neutral atmosphere of Washington is not suffi- | cient to keep the French and British from exhibiting that sense of Irritation toward one another which has marked their reectit intercourse. Briaiul took but little pains to conceal French feeling toward the proposed plan for the limitation of naval armaments which leaves France and Italy well out of the picture. Nor did he hesitate to vent his opinion regarding the Balfour proposal that there should be a further limitation of submarines and their uses. ENGLISH ENVOY IS HEARD. Then comes the editorial comment of the Chronicle which is commonly thought to be the mouthpiece of Lloyd George, particularly when foreign affairs are under discussion. That this editorial was inspired seems nearly certain when taken with the later declaration of Lord Curzon. That paragraph which says: "Europe is not on the verge of another war. nor Is the menace to peace either immediate or grave Germany Is effectively disarmed. Today she has neither guns or equipment which would enable her to dream of attacking France," sounds as if Lloyd George had dictated It. It represents not only the views of the British government, but of the British people ns well. Lord Cursor is even more direct and emphatic. He tells the French that their real xtrength does not Be in armies, potential as they are. but that it exists (Continued on I’uge Thirteen.) 72 HOURS’ RAIN BRINGS FLOODS TO TWO STATES Pennsylvania and West Virginia Rivers on Wild Rampage.

"Can you say then how you stand on the League of Nations?”, he was further queried. “I don’t like to enter into a discussion of that now,” he replied, “but I must say the league has done some very beneficial things.” As for the association, he pleaded he didn’t “know just how that would function” arid In answer to a question whether he favored continuing sessions of the present conference—an idea dove-tail-ing In with Harding's association plan—he said: “I don’t know Just how that would be worked out.

SHOWDOWN ON NAVY SCHEME IS POSTPONED ‘One of Foreign Powders’ Asks Delay of 24 Hours. JAPS CONCERNED Worried Over Reports on Public Opinion at Home. By GEORGE R. HOLMES. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—The final showdown on acceptance of the American naval program was postponed twenty-four hours today at the request of one of the foreign, delegations. The committee of naval experts of the five great powers was scheduled to meet at 10 o’clock for a final session regarding the capital ship ratio or 5-5-3 proposed by Secretary of State Hughes. When the meeting hour arrived, however, it was announced “one of the foreign powers” had requested a postponement of the 1 session twenty-four hours. No reason was advanced for the post- ! ponement, but It was understood Japan’s experts were not yet ready to express a final opinion. It was suggested in some quarters that communication with Tokio perhaps was responsible for the delay. Some concern is felt by members of the Japanese colony here over the state of public opinion, as reflected in dispatches I received here by Japanese and by the American press. Reports havo been received of a numj her of public meetings in Japan in which ! the demand was made that Japan’s delegates here take an unyielding position for the 10-10-7 capital ship ratio instead of the 5-5-3 oian proposed in the American program. The delay, however, was not looked upon generally as affecting in ;.,.j ~jy the ultimate result of the negotiations. The American position is adamant and I belief prevails that in the end Japan will accept the 00 pet cent ratio' to which she j has been assigned. PROVISION MADE FOR ENFORCEMENT Special to Indiana Dally Times and PhUadelpm* Public Ledger. By FREDERICK WILLIAM WILE.

It is made in connection with two / other statements of no less significance. First, that the world "speedily’* may expect to hear that the naval purposes of the conference have been achieved. j Secondly, that agreement Is imminent virtually on the unexpurgated program laid down by Secretary Hughes Nov. 12.

MAY FORM NEW AGENCIES TO AID CORN GROWERS Farmers Discuss Plan to Finance Operations Without Losses. The possibility of the formation of separate agencies other than banks for the purpose of lending money to farmers on their corn in order that they may sell the corn at a reasonable price was discussed by members of the corn belt advisory committee of the War Finance Corporation which met with Governor Warren T. McCray, its chairman, today. The meeting was preliminary to a public meeting of farmers and bankers this afternoon at which the entire farm finance problem was discussed. It is understood that there is some hesitancy among banks in taking part in the proposed plan to finance the farmers. The plan called for the banks lending money on com, the money to be obtained by the banks from the War Finance Corporation. Some of the members of the committee take the attitude that the organization of separate lending agencies Is practical and that they can be formed under the laws of the States affected. While the meeting of the advisory committee was being conducted in the Governor's office another meeting on the same subject was being held at the Claypool Hotel.
