to attack the actress.
Foreman Raps Opposing Jurors.
August F'ritze, foreman of the Ar
buckle jury, issued a signed state
ment saying that one of the woman
jurors, who was in the minority, re-
fused to consider the evidence from
the beginning and declaFed that "she
would cast her ballot and would not
change it until hell froze over"
There were two jurors who voted for
conviction, according to Fritze. His
statement follows:
Il make this statement as a duty to
the public.
There was a tacit understanding
that the members Of the jury would
not make individual statements. l
have learned since that number of
the jury have. however. done SO, and
l believe, as foreman, that IL is well
for those interested in the admins
tration of justice that the citizens Of
San Francisco should have facts.
.'The ten members of the jury who
voted on the last ballot for acquittal
felt that they voted on the evidence
fully considering it all. One of the
two minority refused to consider the
evidence from the beginning. The
other was fiuctuating, sometimes
casting a blank ballot, sometimes
voting for the defense and some
times voting for the prosecution.
seemed to us that the prosecutions
case was an insult to the intelligence
of the jury. 1t asked US to Substi-
tute conjecture for facts without
showing what had been done and
asked US to guess what might have
been done and to guess only one way.
Human liberty and American
rights should depend, not upon the
guesses of anybody, but upon evi-
dence.'
Woman Alleges Abusive Language.
Other charges of attempted intimi-
dation were made by Mrs. Hubbard
against some of the man jurors and
particularly against August Frltze,
foreman of the jury.
Fritze, according to Mrs. Hubbard,
used abusive language to her. as did
other man jurors in their attempts to
induce her to change her vote. which
deadlocked the jury for many hours
"The entire case in the jury room
was the trial of the district attor-
ney's office, rather than the trial of
Arbuckle,' Mrs. Hubbard said to-
night.
Following sharp Scolloquys between
District Attorney Mathew Brady and
some of the witnesses. Mrs. Hubbard
asserted several jurors remarked in
the Jury room that they did not like
the district attorneys methods and
would certainly not vote for Ar
buckles conviction.

timated annual running expenses.
The corporation, in effect, seldom
reconsidered an unwise project en-
tered into by any department.
The administrative heads Of the de-
partments were selected, as rule,
with little reference to their business
qualifications and were compelled to
rely largely upon the advice of subor-

Work Of Various Agencies.
Outlining the work of the various
co-ordinating agencies established by
presidential order Ito rectify faults
in the routine business of the govern
ment," Gen. Dawes says:
They involve no transfer of athor-
ity the location Of which has been
fixed otherwise by statute.
"They involve the delegation of no
questions of policy save that of econ
omy and efficiency.
"Ihey are simply agents by which
unified methods of ordinary business
can be imposed by the chief exec
utive.
"They are created simply to give
the President of the United States the
same agencies of contact and trans
mission of authority as obtain in any
private organization
They involve no material addition
to the expense Of governmental ad-
ministration.
"They are non-partisan. being COM
posed Of men already in the govern
ment service.
"They are in effect simply a re-
grouping under an executive leader
ship of certain of the present en-
ployes of government of such eXpe-
rience. contact and relation in it's rou-
tine business as enables them to make
possible the application of common
sense business methods.
1T cannot be too often reiterated
that this most important reformation
in the governmental business system
is dependent upon the President of
the United States himself, and upon
his continued assumption of his re-
sponsibility as its business head. The
minute he relaxes his attitude of at
tention to this duty there well be felt
the natural pull of the departments
and establishments toward the old
system of complete independence and
decentralization"
Gen. Dawes concludes his report
with this statement:
'In making this report the director
Of the budget will state that his con-
nection with the bureau is limited as
to time, in accordance with an under
standing which he had with the Pres
ident at the time of his appointment.
His purpose in making this announce
ment at this time is to emphasize the
fact that his recommendations are
made in an impersonal way, with fun
damental business principles and
their proper preservation in their ap-
plication to governmental business
administration alone in mind"

COLUMBUS, Ca, December with
a shotgun wound in his right lung,
the body of Stanley Greene was found
short distance from Girard, Ala.
Almost simultaneously it was learned
here that a party of night riders
severely fogged NJ. c. White. sixty
five years of age, thirteen miles from
this city, and that Emory Wilkinson,
his fourteen-year-ol grandson, had
been shot twice in defending him, and
had. in turn, shot one OF the attackers.
When Greene's body was found by
a negro. an empty pistol holster was
strapped around his waist and he was
bareheaded His wife made the state
ment that he had left her Saturday
night to attend to some business"
and was supposed to have returned
within two hours, but failed to appear.
Girard citizens visiting the scene
where Greene's body was found ex-
pressed the opinion that the man
had been killed elsewhere and his
corpse thrown by the roadside. A
coroner's jury is making an investi-
cation of the killing.
Pleads With Riders
Young Wilkinson is said to havi
injure his grandfather. and was shot:
iE both legs while speaking. He threw
the shotgun he held in his hands to
his shoulder and fired twice at one
of his assailants, he told Columbus
physicians who attended him, and
was certain at least one of the
charges had taken effect
One member of the party staggered
to the car hatless and without a
weapon. having dropped a forty-five-
caliber revolver while making for an
automobile. The youth then took up
the heavy pistol and fred at the
party which was taking his grand
parent off.
Efforts are being made to connect
the death of Greene. whose body was
found hatless and his pistol holster
devoid of a weapon, with the shooting
of the boy. according to local officers,
who have been in conference with the
officials from Alabama here today.
Both he and his grandfather are in
serious condition, physicians as
serted White stated that he could
give no reason for the attack made
upon him by the night riders, most
of whom are said to have been

Well Help You. Jim

In a speech at pittsboro, Ex
Senator Vardaman expressed re,
gret that he bought Liberty bond,
during the war period, and de
clares that he now wishes that he
had stumped the state urging
people not to buy these securities,
because the government used the
money conscrlpting soldiers.
Language of this sort from
Vardaman is not surprising. He
was opposed TO the war and from
the beginning was a consistent
friend OF Germany, even taking
an active part in the organized
propaganda work being conduct
ed by our enemies.S
However, there is no occasion
for Jim to grieve deeply over the
bonds he bought. 1t is no, mat
ter of record that he bought any
bonds to hurt, and it is seriously
to be doubted whether he bought
any at all. Certain it is, he did
not buy them in Jackson, or any,
where else in Mississippi.
But it pains us to hear that
Jim is suffering because of his
bond purchases, and feel that it
is our duty to offer him relief, if
possible.
Therefore, the Daily News will
be glad to purchase from jim all
the government bonds he may
now possess, regardless of the
character of the issue, paying him
par and accrued interest, our
only condition being that he pro-
luce satisfactory proof that he
was a bona fde purchaser of the
bonds during the war period.
We'll do even better than that
The various issues OF Liberty
bonds are now quoted at from 81
to 98.44. If jim will bring us a
batch of either of these issues, &C
companled by proper proof that
he bought them while the United
States and Germany were at war,
we will pay him the uniform
price Of 105 therefor.
1t is no pers n Il love for Var
dam,n, or anxiety over his tlnan
ctaI condition, that prompts US 10
IN ke this offer. We simply dom t
want to see Llb-rty bonds in the
possession of all enemy of our gov
ernment.-JackSon Daily Newe.

WILL FIGHT
 AN INCREASE
Bill Raising House Roll From 435 to 483 to Be Killed, and One Scrambling Up Present Seats, Substituted.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Lines were sharply drawn tonight for a fight to- morrow to defeat the reapportion- ment bill, which would increase the membership of the House of Repre- sentatives from 435 to 483.
 After a final cheekup leaders an- nounced that the measure as report ed would be voted down decisively and that substitute plan, holding seats to the present total, would be adopted by big majority.
 There seemed little sentiment for a larger house. Members from states which would lose representation under the shifting of 12 seats from II to eight states declared they would vote against adding 48 repre- sentatives at cost of approximate ly $1,500,000 year when there is a crying demand from all quarters for government economy.
 As mapped out today, the pro- gram under which the bill would be called up tomorrow provides five hours of debate. While there was some objection to so much oratory, it was agreed to permit members to express their views at length, and then by roll call vote, let the coun- try know that the House is big enough as it stands.

Maryland, Democrats, and Crampton, Michigan, Republican, standing out against the reduction.
 The resolution adopted by the two houses are almost identical in their provisions, each providing that the 175,000 limit shall not prevent the re-enlistment of men who have served one or more enlistments in the military service. The language of the two resolutions, however, diff fer somewhat, and either the Senate or the House will send its recommen- dation to Congress for rearrange- ment.
 Action by the joint conference com- mittee of the two houses is expected to be taken speedily and the resultant measure sent to the president.
 The action of the houses was taken against the recommendations of War Department heads and Gen. Pershing. Secretary Baker, in appearing before the Senate military affairs commit tee, advised against an army of less than 250,000 men after the present necessity of economy had been re- lieved Gen. Pershing told the same committee that an army of 100000 men constituted a safety margin.
 The vote in the Senate showed that several senators who last week went on record as favoring an army of 150,00O had changed about, placing their support behind the 1570O0 fifure.
