ARBUCKLE CASE
DRAGGING ALONG
TOWARD CLOSE
Defense Will Put On Witnesses In
Sur-rebuttal and Trial May

San Francisco, Nov. 0.-AdditionaI

asserted by the district attorneys OF.
flee. The defense then will counter
with sur-rebuttal testimony. Arbuckle
is on trial in connection with the
death of Virginia Rappe, motion pic
ture actress.
Indications were that the entire day
would be occupied by rebuttal and
sur-rebuttal testimony and, as each
side is expected to be allotted at least
four hours for final argument, it was
apparent the case would not be placed
in the hands of the jury for a verdict
before late tomorrow or Friday.
Mrs. Minnie Neighbors, a defense
witness, was arrested last night on a
charge OF perjury, growing out of tas-
timony she gave few days ago. She
testified to seeing Miss Rape at
Wheeler Hot Springs one day last
August, seized by an illness similar
to that from which she suffered at
the party in Arbuckle's rooms.
A witness called yesterday by the
state declared however, that Miss
Rappe was not at Wheeler Hot
Springs at the time stated by Mrs
Neighbors.

is believed that Ulster would balk at

Plans for prolonging the truce in

RUSS CHILDREN
SOON TO Be FED
Relief Administration Confronted
By Gigantic Task = Next
Crop Is a Problem

Moscow, Nov. 3O.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. "A total of 100000
children in the famine district will be
receiving regular food allotments
from the foreign relief administration
by the first of next year, it was stated
by Walter l.. Brown, director, on his
departure from Moscow after an in
spection tour.
We are having fewer difficulties
than we expected when we arranged
for the rescue work three months
ago, he said. Contrary to predic-
tlons, the Red Army is not taking anv
OF the food and we are operating vir.
tually without loss from the first
The amount stolen in Russia has been
far less than was the case in Armenia
and Poland. We are now feeding half
a million children and by January the
number will be 100000. 1t is done
at a cost of eighty casts month for
each child or a total of $4,000, 600
until the next harvest. This is exclu-
sive of S4000,000 for medical supplies
and $1,500,000 for clothing. The so.
Wet government is bearing the cost
OF shipping the supplies from the sea
ports.
THE American relief administra.
tion has no plans for feeding adults
nor for providing seed grain to in
sure the next harvest and prevent a
greater famine; it is apparent that if
the adults are hungry they will eat
the seeds instead OF planting them.
Whether the famine will recur after
the next harvest depends upon the
weather and also the amount of seeds
furnished the farmers. | understand
the Soviet government is buying seed
in London.
ut is my opinion that the work
should be continued, as it is neces-
sary to the worlds economic recon-
struction, which cannot afford to have
200,000,000 non-producers.

tons Consider Going In
and Showing Them
How To Run a Real
Orderly Sort of Gov
ernment

London, Nov. 30.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press )-Intervention in Por-
tugal as result of the present
grave internal situation there, is be-
ing seriously considered by the pow
ers, according to the Times this morn
ing. France, Italy and Spain are in
favor of taking control of the situa-
tion under mandate, the newspaper
states.
Bolshevism is spreading through
the large towns of Portugal, the Times
declares, and there have been many
outrages especially in the province of
Alemtejo.
The recent bombing Of the consul
late in Lisbon is an incident in this
development, it is said, and most of
the foreign diplomats there have re-
ceived letters threatening their lives.
j. AS result the powers are consid-
ering protectorate and suppression
of the ugly movement there, ac-
cording to the newspaper. Sailors on
Portuguese gunboat are said to
have been restrained with difficulty
from torpedoing the Spanish vessels
in the harbor.
A dispatch to the Times asserts
that under the circumstances 1t is
very difficult to find men to fill posts
in the Portuguese cabinet.
Dispatches from Portugal to the AS
sociated Press have reported two dis
tinct revolutionary movements in the
past six weeks. In the first several
members of the Portuguese cabinet,
including Premier Granjo, were assas-
sinated following their resignation. A
few days later it was reported that
Il Rs4alists were plotting for the re-
establishment OF a monarchy. On No
vember "a dispatches from the Por-
tuguese frontier of Spain reported an
other revolution brewing, Carvalho
Mesquieta heading the movement
The troops in Lisbon were said to
have been confined to their barracks
in preparation for eventualities. No
adyices have been received since that
time as to conditions in Portugal.

FORMER EMPEROR
LIVES QUIETLY
In HIS EXILE
Charles and His Wife Treated As
Honored Guests By Portu-
guese Authorities

Funchal, Island of Madeira, Nov. 30.
(By the Associated Press. )-Former
Emperor Charles of Austria Hungary,
and former Empress Zita are living
quietly in their exile. Their only
guard at the villa Victoria. where
they reside, is plain clothes police
man, who accompanies them on their
journeys about the island to prevent
beggars from botharing them and to
avert other annoyances. Charles and
Zita are treated as honored guests by
the new governor, Maj. Acacio Cor
rea Pinto, and the other Portuguese
officials. They attend mass on Sun.
days and have engaged Canon An
tonic Homem de Gouveia as their pri-
vate chaplain.
After mass recently few women
outside the church attempted to kiss
Z1ta's hands, thus showing their af-
fection for member of the family of
Dom Miguel de Braganza, pretender
to the Portuguese throne.
1t is considered likely that the for
mer royal pair will engage the Villa
Victoria for a permanent residence.
The Villa adjoins the grounds of the
Palace hotel but the exiles do not
mix with the hotel guests. Charles
is taciturn but Zita is affable and
talks cheerily to those she meets.
There was some talk of a Portu-
guese cruiser being sent here as
guard ship to prevent any possible at
tempt at escape by the former royal
pair, but thus far none has appeared.
