Crowds Remain in Courtroom Until Bailiff Announces

ARBUCKLE IS NERVOUS
Faces Restlessly In and Out Of Room As Fate Is Being
 Threshed Out by Jury

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2. - The jury trying Roscoe c. (Fatty) Ar buckle of a charge of manSlaughter. failed to agree on a verdict after four hours and 15 minutes deliberation to- day and was locked up TOT tne night at II D. m., with the announcement that it would continue it's delibera- t;Cns at 10 a. m., tomorrow.
 The jury took ballot few min utes before being locked up. but it failed of a decision. Speculation thai it stood II to l for acQuittal could not be confirmed. Hundreds waited inside the court room throughout the period of deliberation and there were many expressions of disappointment that a verdict had not been reached tonight
 After announcing to the bailift that it could not reach a decision tonight. the jury was taken back to its hotel. There was no indication of how many ballots were taken tonight.
 Fatty's Hands TrembIe
 The failure Of the jury to reach it's verdict tonight did not appear to eise the visible apprehension that the de fendant, ArbucklJ. held throughout the night. On the few occasions that the bailiff was called into the jury room, his hands trembled as though he expected some tremenduous decis- ion. His counsel. however, appeared to be without apprehension while the district attorney and his assistants were also hopeful of a verdict in their favor.

They changed their minds. however. before the request could be met. Each request caused wave of excitement.
 Expert testimony regarding the fin ger prints on these doors was the basis of a contention by the prosecu- ton that Arbuckle had a struggle with the girl in the room.
 Hundreds crowded the court room and adjoining corridors after the din ner period, and the door leading into the jury room was barricaded on the outside by a table and several chairs to keep the crowd away from IT.
 Arbuckle was visibly nervous and paced in and out of the court room in q restless fashion. He had little to say.

Premier Confident Delay in Parleys Will Result in

Neither Sim Fein or Ulster Believed Willing to Cause
 Delay in Washington

LONDON. Dec. ?. - (By the Asso- ciated Press.) - Prime Minister Lloyd George. it was learned this af- ternoon, is definitely planning to leave England for the United States December F, to attend the Washing ton armament conference.
 It is understood that Lloyd George is planning to go to Washington ln the belief that the apparent impasse in the Irish negotiations is one which time may help to solve. An eventual ity which might conceivably offer greater obstacles to thep remier's early trip is the necessity for France and Great Britain to formulate clear CT and more united policy regarding German separations.
 Government officials pointed out that neither Ulster nor Sim Fein were likely to be willing to take the consequences should Lloyd George be prevented from being present at the Washington conference on their ac- count.
 The reported plans of the British delegates attending the Washington conference to go to New York Monday are interpreted aS indicating their reluctance to make final thed ecision so far tentatively reached in Wash ington, because of the possibility of Lloyd Georges participating. There was an impression in official circles today that the conference proceedings were being soft pedalled' upon the receipt of word from London that the premier might soon join in the deliberations.

ROW OVER NAVY RATIO APPEARS
 ID BE CLEARING
Vital Conference Held Yes terday by Hughes, Kato
 And British Chief
DETAILS KEPT SECRET
New Phase in Negotiations Is Submitted to Tokio at
 Conclusion of Farley

WASHINGTON. Dec. D. (By the Associated Press) Japan and the United States appeared tonight to be approaching an agreement on naval ratio.
 After a conference between Secre- tary Hughes, Admiral Baton Kato and A. J. Balfour, the Japanese delegates began communicating with Tokio, pre- sumably submitting a new phase of the negotiations
 This official communique was is- sued after the meeting of the "big three."
 Arthur J. Balfour, Admiral Baron Kato and Secretary Hughes met at the state department this afternoon and had an extended interview with respect to the naval proposals. No comment on the interview can be made at this time."
 To that. Baron Kato, added in reply to uuestioners, "I cannot divulge any thing that was brought up at today's conference" ~
 But from elsewhere came intima- tions that possibly the question Of American Qualifications in the Pacific and possibly the Japanese ambition to retain the uper-dreadnaught Mutsu had entered into the new development
 British Are Optimistic
 An authorized spokesman of the British delegation revealed clearly the purpose of his government to use it's best efforts for solution.
 Great Britain" said he. 'has tried to do everything within her power to bring about a settlement of disputed questions between other powers. l have no doubt that MT. Baifour has used his best efforts to find a plan which will meet the views of both America and Japan"
 In many quarters there was dispo- sition to regard tonight's conference of the big three" as bearing a close relation to the conversation yesterday between Arthur J. Balfour of Great Britain, and Baron Kato. There were indications that Japan's attitude had not yet been fully defined by the ex- changes proceeding between the Jap anese delegation and Tokio, however, and one Japanese spokesman said af- ter the "big three" conference that it would take some time" to bring the ratio question to a solution.
 Debate Without Result
 The Far Eastern committee today debated without result withdrawal of the foreign troops from China and the Chinese and Japanese got down to business in their new effort to settle the Shantung controversy. A broadly drawn declaration of general policy on the troop question may be adopted on the Far Eastern committee tomor- row but the ShaRtung discussions were adjourned until Mondays after the two sides had set forth the gener- al outlines of their positions.
 There were some indications being construed to mean that the Japanese viewpoint on naval ratio was being brought more into harmony with the American. It was understood that in the discussions Of Far Eastern affairs today some concessions of opinion were made toward the Japanese con tentions regarding maintenance of fol eign troops in China.
