BONUSBACKERS
STILL HOPEFUL
Sees Congressional Elections
And Uneployenrnt Forcing
Action Next Year

WASHINGTON, Sept. -. = The
pendulum IN Congress is swinging
back in fevor of a soldiers bonus.
There are two reasons:
FIRST: Congressional elections
ueXt year.
SECOND; Unemployment Of eXf
soldiers.
The American Legion is condu:tr
ing a survey Of unemployment among
ex-service men. 1t is authoritatively
estimated this will show 100000 to
100000 out Of work
Hundreds of ex-service men be-
cause they are jobless have enlisted
under the Spanish flag and shipped
to Africa to fight the Moors
The American Legion expects I'd
have to do extensive charity worE
this winter. .-..
Congressmen fear The wrath tc
come next year.
So a new bonus bill likely will bt
enacted by June. A measure beins
formulated is called. the Servic,
Mem Pension Act. It contemplate
both a cash bonus and progressive
pension.

ATLANTA, Sept. 15.-The probe
of causes leading to the wrecking of
an, A., B. and A freight train seven
miles from here, September 7, ended
late yesterday 3; t..
At the afterneensssession a sensa-
tiopal clash between j. e. Hawkins,
a nachinist employee of the railroad
and Attorney Carl Hufcheson and
striking maehinists in which Witness
Hawkins called the machinists "dyna-

feeling that Chairman Gambler had
to threaten to call off the hearing un-
less it was conducted with more
dignity.
Outstanding feature of the probe
was the testimony of Superintendent
Harry Hawkins that he sent gen.
eral warning of impending trouble

LOCAL COTTON
QUIET TODAY
Futures, Which Opened With Loss
Regain Positions and De
velop Strength

Receipts and sales alike were light
in the Americus cotton market to-
day, with futures comparatively
quiet. October contracts, which clos
ed Wednesday at 1890, opened with
a loss of 40 points, bat within an
hour had regained part of this, being
quoted at 1852, and at noon had
climbed tc 19.48. After that hour un-
til near the close this option appeared
to be strong. At 1916 October cot
ton was quoted at 1866 in New York
this being the high point to that hour,
and the option closed at 19.48.
The cotton market suffered anoth-
er technical set back during the af-
ternoon Wednesday following a swift
rise of 81 to 60 points in New York
during the forenoon. Opening. prices
were 8 points higher to 3 points low.
or, while initial prices at New Or
leans were 10 to 20 points higher.
Liverpool cables were higher than
due, with spot sales $4,000 bales. In
addition to this the trade was furth-
er supplied with buying incentive by
a stream of pessimistic crop advices
from Texas and the Atlantic states
together with the consumption report
by the Census Bureau which reflect
ed the marked Improvement in textile
industry in this country. Buying was
heavy during the first hours trad
ing, with October rising to 20.25
and December to 20.50. October at
New Orleans rose to zoos and De
cember 20.23.
After holding steady around the
highest levels during the late fore
noon the market weakened later in
the day as the result of a disposition
on the part of longs to realize and
with holding from the buying side
by those who had sold out The week
ly weather and crop report, which
was very bulliGh, di dnot prevent the
market from backing off below the
previous close. Before 1 o'clock Oc-
tober, New York, had reacted to 10.
70 and December to 1890. A similar
setback occurred in other options,
with October New Orleans, breaking
to 1910 and December 1854.
The reaction was only natural to
expect after the steady rise of ap-
proximately 81 bale from Tues
days close levels.

ARBUCKLE STUNNED WHEN
VERDICT is READ IN COURT
Miss Rappe's Death Due to Rup.
ture of Bladder Caused by
Violence.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10
Arrangements were being completed
today for the funeral of Miss Vir-
ginia Rappe, the film actress whose
death in a sanitorium here last Fri
day resulted in four charges being
made against Roscoe (Fatty) Ar
Bbuckle, two of murder and two of
manslaughter.
The proceedings against Arbuckle
today were the scheduled return of a
manslaughter true bill voted by the
county grand jury, the assigning of
the case in court and conference of
officials on both sides.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15.-The
coroner's jury investigating the
death of Miss Virginia Rape, late
Wednesday returned d verdict charg-
ing Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle with
manslaughter in connection with the
actress death. The jury consumed
days in its Investigations, the YER
Diet reading:
1--WE, the jurors, find that Vir-
ginia Rappe came to her death from
peritonitis caused by rupture of the
bladder due to the application of
force, and the jury further believes
the force which caused Hiss Rapp's
death was blamable to one Roscoe
Arbuckle.
1--WE, therefore, charge Arbucllle
with the crime of manslaughter.
1--WE, the jurors, recommend to
the district attorney at San Fran
cisco county, to the grand jury and
to the federal prohibition officers
that they take steps to prevent the
| recurrence of affairs similar to the
one. in which this young woman lost
her life, so that San Francisco shall
| not be made the rendezvous of de-
| bauches and gangsters."
Eight of the nine jurors signed the
verdict, while Ben Boas, one Of their
number, submitted minority YER
dict to the effect that 81, the under
signed, believe that Virginia Rappe
came to her death from peritonitis,
dut to the bladder being ruptured by
some force, but from evidence | am
unable to determine who was re-
sponsible for application of said
force.Y .
Arbuckle seemtd stunned when
the verdict was read. The Jury mad
debated more than three hours, an
unprecedented occurrence for a
coronr's jury here. The defense was
hopeful that an open verdict would
be returned.
The fat actor was the picture of
detection. He sat motionless when
the verdict had been finished. He
then reached for a handkerchief and
mopped his brow several times and
looked from on attorney to the
other to find some sign of encourage
ment there.
II will make definite decision
Thursday on which charge Arbuckle
will be tried" said District Attor-
ney Brady. 81 am disappointed that
the grand jury did not return a bill
CHARGING first degree murder.
This verdict was the only thing
the jury could do after hearing the
evidence and it convinces US that
Arbuckle will undoubtedly be con-
victed when he comes to trial in the
