SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 26. Mrs. Bambina Maude Delmont, who swore to the complaint accusing Roscoe (Fatty) Arbucklo of the murder of Miss Virginia Rappe, was announced as the principal witness who would be

called at the comedian's preliminary

hearing on that charge in police court here today. Mrs. Delmont was the companion of Miss Rappe at the party In the Arbuckle suite. at the Hotel St. Francis at which the girl is said to have suffered fatal Injury. The plan called for Mrs. Delmont to take the witness stand after Dr. Arthur Heardslee, house physician of the St. Francis, and Al Semnacher of Los Angeles. Miss Rappe's business manHger. Semnacher, it was announced last night would be asked to testify as defense witness. Arbuckle's attorneys taying that important details had been overlooked in his previous testimony. Semnacher initially was called as a prosecution witness but the prosecution repudiated him. Dr. Beardslee attended Miss Rappe after she had been taken ill and. ac-

'cording to District Attorney Matthew Brady, his testimony Is considered extremely important to the state as showing that Miss Rappe apparently was injured internally before the first medical treatment was given. Brady said last night: "We are satisfied with the progress made in the Arbuckle case. I wish to 'mpresa upon the public, though, the fact that we are not trying to 'hound' any man or attempt to force a conviction of a person on any charge. All we are trying to do in this case is to get the truth and punish those responsible for Miss Rappe's death."

states that 54 varieties of seeds are

represented. The large automobile display tent, 140 by 70 feet, was well filled by the late afternoon of the first day. This tent stands at the east end of the art hall, with the merry-go-round and the "pony ride" beyond it. A large machinery display, with half a dozen makes of tractors and many other miscellaneous farm ma

chines, occupies the space directly west of the poultry house. Beyond this are to be found stock barns, not large enough this year to house all the exhibits, so that a long tent in ad

dition has been erected for the swine displays. Many more cattle are to be

seen here than has been the rule at the Indiana county fairs of this vicin

ity, but most of the cattle are of the

beef breeds, the Heref ords being es

pecially prominent. In hogs, Hampshire and Berkshlres are to be found.

as well as the ever-present Durocs and

Polands, Chester Whites and Spotted

Numerous minor displays of mer

GLEMENCEAU TAKES

CURE OF SILENCE (By Assoc'ated Press) PARIS, Sept. 26 Former Premier

Clemenceau took his recent "silence

cure" in a medieval castle perched

1,500 feet above the blue waters of

the Mediterranean at Olivese, on the

island of Corsica. Nicholas Pietri, the owner of the castle, has been a life-long friend and newspaper associate of Clemenceau. Pietri is as deaf as the proverbial post. "I have travelled a lot since the armistice," the former premier is reported to have said, "but in India, Egypt, the Soudan, everywhere I have been, I have had to talk too much. Now what I want is silence. I am sure to get that with Pietri. He is so

deaf that I won't be tempted to volunteer any small talk to him and he is very tactful in not asking questions, realizing that the effort required for me to answer him is too much for my old lungs." Despite Clemenceau's plea of weakness and his age SI years he looks as sturdy as the oaks surrounding the castle. - There are those who Insist that the Tiger intends to re-enter the political arena and that in the peace and quietness of the little island which gave birth to Napoleon, he has been pre

paring for a reentry into public life that may be almost as startling as that of the little corporal.
