soreign substance in an attack upon

Hotel st. Francis, in San Francisco,
was reported to-day by AL Semnacher,
friend Of Arbuckle, to the Los An
gcles County Grand Jury, according to
". c. Doran, Chief Deputy District At
torney. Arbuckle is held at San Fran
cisco, charged with numbering Miss
Rape. Doran said Semnacher swore
Arhuckle had told of applying ice to
Miss Rappe's body.
noran outlined the testimony In con :.
hrming reports that Semnacher had
made identical statements to him at an
earlier time and then had declared that
he had not, even at the San Francisco
inquiry, told OF the alleged admitted
facts.
Semnacher. testified that on the
morning following the party Arbuckle
told him in the presence of Lowell
Sherman, actor; Fred. Fishbach, di-
rector, and Harry Mccullough. chauf-
feur, that he had taken Miss Rappe
into a room with him and had com
mitted certain acts. According to Chief
Deputy Doran, they were Of q charac-
ter likely to have caused the injury
from which Miss Rappe's death re-
suited.
The grand jury session was called
by Doran in order to hear this testi-
snony, information concerning which
was Immediately conveyed to District
Attorney Brady at San Francisco.
Harry Mccullough, chauffeur for
Arouclsle, who was present when the

timony, also YVES examined by the

was not made public.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.-Al. Sem
nacher telephoned from Los Angeles
to-day that he did not have money
give testimony in the Arbuckle case,
District Attorney Brady announced.
II told him to get up here without
any loss of time or suffer the conse-
quences," Brady said. at seems strange
to me that he could bring Miss Rappe
and Mrs. belmont to San Francisco
from Los Angeles in an automobile and
evidently spend lot of money here
and then suddenly lose all he has in
the world"
Scmnacher motored from Los An
gelcs with Miss Rape and Mrs. Del

against Arbuckle, few days before
the party in which Arbuckle is alleged

 Been Pending a Year
By Associated Press

Detroit, February a7.-A telegram urging the Senate elections committee to set a dase for taking the balance of testimony in the Newberry- Ford cleo ton contest, and asking that further witnesses be called, was sent tonight by Henry Ford to Senator S. P. ;;pen- cer, chairman of the elections commit tee. His telegram was as follows:
 May I again respectfully urge that your committee name date for taking the balance of the testimony in the main case of Newberry Ford election contest and grant the subpoenas For the witnesses, of whom list was fur nished you several weeks ago? am well aware that senators have been very busy, but for more than year we have been urging this, and what business is more important than to ascertain whether a seat in the senate has been acquired by the expenditure of vast sums of money, and incidental- ly the lawful claimant kept out of it.
 "I again urge that the criminal case in the United States supreme court cannot and should not defer action by the Senate because manifestly any decision by the court would not be binding either upon the Senate or upon the claimant. That case depepds upon the technicalities of criminal law, which cannot dispose of or de- termine the great Fundamental prin- ciple involved in my contest"

 TERRIFIC GRINDING
 John H. Gelhart of Oakport, H., one of the New York Central passengers, gave a graphic description of the wreck, as follows:
 .'The first intimation we had of
 the disaster came when bur train
 began to jerk and jump when the
 emergency brakes were suddenly
 applied. The next moment the
 windows were shattered by bits
 of wreckage, and there was . ter
 rife grinding ax we ploughed
 through the other train. Women
 began to scream, and I found my
 self lying aionEside the track.
 we crowded out of the wreckage as best we could. On all sides were people lying on the ground, some dead and some injured. Many of the bodies were badly mangled. Every one was running around frantically, flames and clouds of steam were shooting from the engines, but wreckage of the cars did not catch fire The train.nen quickly obtained axes from the cars and, armed with giaese th', passengers helped in the work of recov- ering the bodies. There was little we could do for the injured, but we tried to make them comfortable until the rescue trains arrived.
 WOODEN COACHES
 All of the victims so far as known ex- cept the two members of the New York Central engine crew, were occupants of the wooden day coach and were mostly residents of Illinois. Indiana and Mich igan points. Sixteen of the bodies have been removed to Chesterton, Ind. The wooden coach, combination baggage and passenger car was demolished.
 The tracksof the two railroads inter- sect here at sharp angle, being almost parallel The Michigan Central tram was believed to have started across the intersection and then to have been de railed. The towerman was blamed by railroad officials for allowing the Mich igan Central train to attempt to cross ahead of the westbound train.
 A few persons living at this junction point immediately began work of rescue using lanterns in their search for the dead and injured. Relief trains arrived from Michigan City and Chicago about ar hour after the wreck, carrying nurses and doctors. The victims were take, to Gary and to Michigan City
 The scene of the wreck is at the exact spot where the Hagen back Wallace cir GUS train was demolished and approx mately 80 persons killed several years ago. The circus train was running on the New York Central tracks and the Michigan Central train crashed into it.
