PARK-FACTORY SHE QUESTION UP IN COUNCIL Attorney Holds City Has Legal Right to Regulate Building. ZONE BODY DODGES The dty council will have before it at It* regular mooting tonight a ruling of City Attorney Thomas D. Stevenson that the council has a legal right to pass an ordinance prohibiting the establishment o| manufacturing buildings in any block within five hundred feet of park property, and a report that the city plan comnlissiou does not care to make a recommendation as to whether the Victor Bearings Company should be permitted to build a factory at Massachusetts avenue and Steele street, near Spades Park. Residents of Spades Park neighborhood, within WO feet of whose homes the proposed factory is being erected, appealed te the council to pass an ordinance prohibiting such location anywhere in the city. The council held a special meeting last Monday night to discuss the ordinance. Property owners and stockholders and officials of the besrings company argued the proposition and the council decided to refer the matter to the city legal department and the plan commission. Councilman Gustav G. Schmidt, the councllmanie member of the plan commission, promised to have r. recommendation from the commission to lay before the regular meeting of the council. SiFES-J TO STEER CLEAR OF RILING. Edward B. ltaub. president of the commission, said he has advised Mr. Schmidt that it woul 1 be the safest thing for the plan commist’on to steer clear of a ruling on the question. “Personally my opinion on this matter is that nntll the city plan commission has had a survey made by zoning experts it would be very dangerous for it to take any action wkztver upon zoning,” said Mr. Raub. "We might rule that the factory could not be located at Massachusetts and Steele avenues, and then In a year or so, when our zoning system has bean worked out, find Chat we would have to reverse ouTselvea. “We aro going to l ave the zoning problem atudied and worked out by the biggest zoning experts in the country, together with the ciJizens of Indianapolis so that there may be no question of the wisdom and fairness of our final decisions. Until that 1 done I personally do not feel we shou’d take any action along this line.” An ordinance appropriating $09,000 to the board of public works with which to pay water and electric current bills, will be introduced. The city will owe the Indianapolis Water Conpany $53,000 and the Merchants Heat and Light Company $40,000 by Jan. 1. Ordinarily these bills would be permitted to go over for payment the next year, but City Controller Robert H. Bryson desire to clean up as many of the present t dmlnlstratlon's bills as possible before it goes out of office Jan. 2. KXPECT XO ACTION ON BUILDING ORDIXANC E.

Sir James Craig, premier of the Ulster government, will make a speech at Belfast tomorrow. Lie had previously given warning of an "ultimatum” to the British cabinet that unless proposals acceptable to the Ulster Unionists were received by Dec. 6 Ulster would break off all pcaca conversations. The new crisis, the gravest that has developed since the conference began, brings Into bold relief the Premier's threat to resign If the Irish blocked the negotiations and caused their breakdown. UNIONISTS DENOUNCE PEACE POLICY. It was generally believed the Premier would retire ’ with the understanding that a general election be called with the Irish problem as the chief Issue.

The armistice continues In effect and the cabinet Is determined to maintain It, If possible, even If the peace conference breaks down entirely.

FORMAL CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSION MADE (Continued From Page One.) tory bill is becoming more and more doubtful. Among the legislation proposed, if the Legislature should kick over the traces, is a bill to be fostered by the department of conservation which would provide for State control over hydro-power projects. The bill would grow out of the recent action of the pub’le service commission In approving a plan of the Indiana Hydro-Electric Company to harness the Tippecanoe River. The bill probably would provide that the conservation department engineers investigate plans for teh use of water power and that water power concerns be licensed by the State Richard I.ieber, director of the conservation department, made it plain, however, that no attempt will be made to introduce the bill unless the Legislature actually takes up matters other than the reformatory removal.

WOM AN JUROR GIVES REASONS FOR FIRM STAND San Francisco Grand Jury Will Probe Arbuckle Trial Scandal. MRS. HUBBARD TALKS SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5.—-The San Francisco grand jury will be asked by District Attorney Matthew Brady to start an immediate investigation of an alleged attempt to approach and intimidate Mrs. Helen M. Hubbard, one of the Arbuckle jury, whose solid stand for the comedian's conviction resulted iu a disagreement of the jury. Mrs. Hubbard, in a statement, charged that Gus Oliva, a commission merchant, and G. C. Irwin, an attorney, approached her husband, on Saturday and endeavored to get him to communicate with her In the jury room by letter urging her to vote to acquit Arbuckle. CHARGES ok INTIMIDATION. Mrs. Hubbard also made a charge of Intimidation against several of her fellow jurors, including August Fritze, the foreman. “They are saying terrible things about me,” said Mrs. Helen Hubbard, the member of the Arbuckle jury whose stubborn refusal on the first ballot to the last, to listen to the arguments for the comedian's acquittal led to a disagreement and the necessity for a retrial, “but before God, I did my duty as 1 saw It.” BELIEV E 8 ARBUCKLE GUILTY. Seated by her own fireside, after sixteen days In captivity as a juror in a case involving testimony which in former times It would hnvp been considered improper for a woman to hear under any circumstances, Mrs. Hubbard told her reasons for voting to send the comedian to tho jute mills of San Oueutin Penitentiary for one to ten years. “I believed Arbuckle to be guilty. I believed that the major portion of the testimony proved it; therefore I voted for conviction and no power in heaven or earth could change my fired opinion,” Mrs. Hubbard said with a flare or indignation. Mrs. Hubbard Is a large woman, about 40 years of age, and emphatic la her statemerts. “I’m a housewife," Mrs. nubbnrd continued, “and I didn’t believe that testimony of Katd Brennans, the chambermaid, about her having wielded a duster and cloth in the room, which would have eliminated the finger prints of Arbnckle and Miss Kappe on the door. “For that's what decided me—l believe those fingerprints are those of Arbuckle and Miss Uappe. And I believe that she was Injured when she tried to get out of bis room and he shoved her agaiust the door. “Kate Brennan said she wa* the only one In that suite of rooms a half an hour. Asa housewife, I know that she could not possibly have done the amount of work she said she did in an hour and a half—■ that was my opinion as a juror. SOME EVIDENCE SOUNDED DOPEY. “The story of Mrs. Minnie Neighbors, the Los Angolps policeman's wife, sounded “doped” to me. I did not believe a word of it. She contradicted herself too many times about having seen Miss Rappe at a health resort. "Many of the jnrrors in the Juryroom said they didn't like the district attorney’s conduct of the case, especially tho conduct of his deputies, and would vote to free Arbuckle on that account. “When I held out alone for conviction so many hours, they all third degreed me. But it dod no good. Although Foreman August Fritze did not try to use third degree methods on me, ho at no time treated mo with civility. “Several of the Jurors said they felt Arbuckle to be guilty, but they felt they must give him the benefit of the doubt, because the State had not proved Us case absolutely.’* . c

What Principals Say About Case

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5. ROSCOE ARBUCKLE, defendant— While this, through the technicality of law, is not a legal acquittal, morally it Is such. DISTRICT ATTORNEY BRADY, prosecutor—This disagreement does not vindicate Roscoe Arbuckle; a vindication would come only after a quick verdict. GAVIN M’NAB, chief defense counsel— The facts speak for themselves. Statements of counsel are superfluous. AUGUST FRITZE, foreman of the jury —Considering all the evidence, it seemed to us that the prosecution's ease was an insult to the Intelligence of the Jury. It asked us to substitute conjecture for facts. MRS. HELEN HUBBARD—I am convinced this man is guilty. You can stay here forever, but I’ll never change my mind. It was the fingerprints that decided me. , HAROLD LOUDERBACK, trial Judge— I believe you (the jury) have reached the determination which you have reached conscientiously and that Is your privilege.

EVEN PEACEFUL PICKETING NOT ALWAYS LEGAL Supreme Court Holds Action Invalid Which Interferes With Rights. WASHNIGTON. Dee. s.—Peaceful picketing Is not always valid, the Supreme Court of the United States decided today in a case of the American Steel Foundries at Granite City, 111., against the TriCity Central Labor Council of that city. Where personal rights and privileges are interfered with by the labor pickets, the picketing is invalid, the court ruled. Picketing must be conducted lawfully and orderly. Where there is no interference in personal rights the picketing may be valid. Each ease turns on Us own incidents, the court said, but threats are ■ never lawful. The decision was declared by Chief Justice Taft The American Steel foundries won its suit for a restraining in- ! Junction i The four men indicted two years ago for conspiracy to defraud the United j States Government in connection with the famous "Supreme Court leak,’’ lost their j appeal In which they sought to have the I high court decide immediately whether a criminal statute is or is not violated by th dissemination of advance information ! concerning decisions of the court. The Supreme Court, in denying the appeal, hold that to decide such a matter at this time would be prejudicial to the trial of the case In the lower court and that It would tend to delay the lower court s action. The Philippine tobacco tax, levied by tho Philippine Legislature and ratified by Congress In 1918, was upheld as valid. Merchant exporters claimed the tax Invalid and asked refund of more than $2,000,000 taxes paid.

Robbins of Chicago, representing John Hill, Jr., and | other members of the Chleago Board of | Trade, who are contesting the validity of the futures trading act. Unless tho present status of tho exchanges Is maintained, those resisting compliance with tho Federal law may become subject to fines and penalties. The appeal was taken under advisement by the court. A decision probably | will be handed down on Monday. P. O.
