DEFENSE TO OPEN
 IN MOVIE SCANDAL

 Evidence Today

San Francisco. Sept. 2o-The defense in the preliminary hearing of Roscoe c. tFatty) Arbuekle charged with the murder of Miss Virginia Rappe. an nounced that r was prepared to begin its effort 10 clear the motion picture comedian when Police Judge Sylvain Laxarus' court resumed late today.
 Tho prosecution completed it's presen- tation of evidence yesterday without having called Mrs. Bambina Maud Del mont. complaining witness. the move taking tho defense by surprise.

 "fn the interests of truth and jus tice we demand It." he told the court. "we demand that Mrs. Delmont be put anime her. She Is the person who sworo to the warrant She is the chief witness. I never heard of a case in which the complainant was not pro- duced."
 Judge Lazarus told the prosecution 1t was not necessary to have Mrs. Del mont testify but warned that they were riskinc tho chance of having the com- pIaint dismissed. Later he denied a motion Of the defense to auash the charge against tho screen comedian and then court adjourned. until late this af- ternoon.
 Should Judge Lazarus decide that the comedian be freed of the murder charge ho will face n charge of man. slaughter brought by the San Fran cisco county grand jury in connection with Miss Rappo's death.
 There is also possibility that Ar buckle will be prosecuted for alleged violation of the prohibition law.

precedented lengths in subsidizing the

precedented lengths in substituting the unemployed, for the relief of whom he government had since the war provided more than 1000. 0:a. 900 pounds. He said that, while 1,500, 900 workmen are idle in Great Britain there were 6,0OO,0OO unemployed in tho United States. The labor point of view as expressed by the mayors was that the unemployment situation had reached a point when passion and despair may get the upper hand" although official figures showed the actual amount of idleness less than some time ago. The acuteness of the position of the country. it was said. was due to the fact that many un- employed men had become ineligible to receive unemployment assistance in future.
 Mir. Lloyd George plans to consult a number of leaders in commerce and industry at Gairloch on Friday and upon that occasion he will probably hear the views of union leaders who have asked for an interview. He is expected to return to London next Tuesday.
 Among the anxious comments on the situation which daily feature newspapers there are frequent refer ences to the influence upon the situ- ation of international exchange and the inter-allied war debt. 1t was re- ported today that expert opinion in the cabinet was veering toward the recently expressed view of Winston Spencer Churchill that the whole problem was not local but was a world issue for international settle ment.
