DON'T LIKE JURY DUTY
New Jersey Women Regard Sum-
mons As Invitation.

Hackensack, Sept. 13.-Sherift
Joseph Kinzley of Bergen county
today received a score Of letters and
as many telephone calls from women
who have been summoned to- appear
on Wednesday to serve on the petty
jury for this month. Judging from
the messages, only few will be pre-
sent.
The Sheriff said the majority OF
those summoned appeared to. think
that serving on the jury was some.
thing like attending tea. party
that they could appear if they wish
or stay away at pleasure. The Sher-
iff said he had done his duty in sum-
moning them and that if they did
not appear it was up to the court to
decide what should be done.
The first letter the Sheriff opened
was from a prospective juror. In it
the woman said:
+ sIt will be vey hard for me to ap-
pear on Wednesday, as I haven't
concluded my vacation as yet, and ]
don't think the court ought to inter
fere with my pleasure"
AS the Sheriff put this letter to
one side he was confronted by an
other with this:
"Since offered my services
have secured a good position, and if
1 serve I am afraid that I will lose
my job. What will do?"
The Sheriff didn't send any ad-
vice, saying that he would let the
woman decide for herself.
So it went along all day, excuse
after excuse, until the Sheriff didn't
know which way to turn. Thirty-hve
women are scheduled to appear in
court. on Wednesday before County
Judge John B. Zabriskie, they having
stated several weeks ago that, they
were willing to serve.
The Grand Jury Of Bergen Coun'
ty' will be sworn in tomorrow by
Supreme Court Justice C. W. Parker
On this jury is one woman. She has
announced that she will be present

FRANCS AND LETTERS

Paris, Sept. 15.-Pouecho--who
says his true name is more high
sounding, being Pouehe de la Nicolle
"a Basque sailor from Bayonne, who
is said to have inherited 38,000,O00
francs from a long forgotten uncle in
South America, is beginning to think
that being millionaire, even if only
prospective, is no sinecure.
Poueche cannot write or read. And
now he is being flooded by many doz-
ems of letters daily. It is no joke,
says Poueche, to be obliged to go
through all these strange hierogly-
'phics, even when you have a secre-
tary. And Pouches secretary is not
much of an expert at deciphering
handwriting anyhow. He is the own
er of a little saloon where Poueche
has rooms in Dunkirk. -,
His rooms consist of a little bed
room upstairs and large reception
room downstairs, which, owing to the
shortage of housing sccomcl odations
in Dunkirk, Poueche shares with his
saloon-keeper-secretary and the bar.
Like celebrities Pouche lives the
greater part of his time under the
eye Of the highly interested public at
the bar. Nonchalantly reclining with
the stub of clay pipe, between his
teeth the future millionaire listens
with blase air while the saloon
keeper laboriously reads out one
letter after another.
:. These come mostly from people
who express profound and touching
faith in the, unlimited goodness of
Pouches heart. They Just know he
is not the boy to refuse a helping
hand to those in trouble. Many are
written by women who are convinced
tha. only they can assure Pouches
future happiness-a large percentage
of these are widows. The other writ
ers are ready to handle the sailors
business interests.
One young girl says she is so pref
ty that P6ueche could not possibly
do better than to adopt her as a
daughter. She has known all her life
that sic wcs born to be a million
aires child. But the old sea-dog does
not look convinced.

TWO MORE CARS FOUND
IN AUTO GRAVEYARD

New York, Sept. 17.-Sergeant
Wekkesson and three policemen, in a
launch of the Marine Division. yes
terday afternoon, while dragging the
East River at Tiffany Street, the
Bronx, uncovered two more automo-
biles in the recently discovered "au-
tomobile graveyard" there. A police
man donned a divers suit and exam
ined the interior of each car, but re-
ported that he was unable to find
any bodies in them. He said the cars
were 50 deeply embedded in mud
that he was unable to recognize their
make or to discern their license or
engine numbers.
The police expressed belief that
the cars had been abandoned and
sent speeding into the river from a
deserted pier. It was their theory
that the spot was used by automo-
bile thieves to get rid Of cars when
they feared police pursuit was be-
coming hot. Other cars probably
were thus sent into the river by
their owners, the police said, for the
purpose of obtaining insurance or to
get rid Of them after they had prov
ed useless. A wrecking crew will re-
move the cars from the river today.

ARBUCKLE HELD
IN CELL AT JAIL
Will Be Prosecuted on Charge OF
Murder.-Can Not Give
Bond.

San Francisco, Sept. 17.-Wlth the
formal announcement today that
Roscoe C. ("Fatty") Arbuckle, mo-
ton picture comedian, would be
prosecuted on a charge of murder
in connection with the death Of Miss
Virginia Rape, actress, following a
Labor day party in the actors hotel
rooms here, both the prosecution and
defense squared away tonight to ar
range for, the trial, the first chapter
of which will be written next Thurs
day, when. it is expected the prisoner
will be given his preliminary exam
nation.
When District Attorney Matthew
Brady, in the court of Police Judge
Sylvan Lazrus today, announced
that "the people are ready to pro-
ceed on the murder CHARGE" ne
blasted the hopes Of the defense that
Arbuckle would tonight be at liberty
on $4,000 bond set by the court
when grand jury Indictment charg-
ing the defendant with mnaslaughter
was returned. 1t was indicated to-
day that the prosecutions decision
to go to trial on the murder charge
was surprise to the defense. From
Los Angeles came reports that Ar
buckle had already made train reser-
vations for a trip from San Fran
cisco to that city this evening. Muir
der is not a bailable charge in Cali
fornia. The reservations, If made,
can not be used.
District Attorney Brady has the
support of the board Of county su-
pervisors in his prosecution Of Ar
buckle, it was shown today when the
finance committee of that body ap-
propriated $1,000 for immediate ex-
penses of the trial and promised
more when needed. Brady had asked
the board for additional funds, de-
claring mucn wealth would be ex-
pended by the defense.
Mrs. Bambina Maude belmont who
swore to the murder charge on which
Arbuckle, today appeared in court
viewed Miss Rappe's body today and
is reported to have suffered partial
collapse.
Robert H. jMcCormick, assistant
United States attorney in charge of
liquor prosecutions, said he expected
to present to the federal jury on
Tuesday evidence that liquor was
served and consumed at the party
given by :Arbuckle in which Miss
Rape was alleged to have received
her fatal injuries. :. |
In addition to his other troubles
Arbuckle may suffer the loss Of his
custom made automobile, said to
have cost $4,000. Government Off
Gals say if it is shown that liquor
was transported from Los Angeles
to this city in the automobile it is
liable to confscation.
Subpoenas were issued today
ssummoning Lowell Sherman and
Fred Fischback, said to have been
guests at the party, to appear before
the United States grand jury here.
Sherman and Fischback were ques-
toned yesterday concerning liquor
said to have been consumed at the
party. According to Robert Camar-
lilo, assistant United States district
attorney, Fischback said that 40
quarts of liquor were consumed in
three days at the Arbuckle apart
ments. ..,

TT is perfectly legitimate for you t.

the pinnacle Of our ambition, burt that
number is SMALL There is something
ahead that is better and it is right to
try for it, to plan for it,, to get it. But
don't make the mistake of slurring

you are fit for a better one. The best
way in the world to get that rise is
to fill your present position as we'll as
1T can be filled. There is very little
really thorough work being done. The
girl who is thorough in what she does
who can be definitely depended upon,
will attract notice. Doing your work
we'll is more important than many
women think.

this method is given as an effort to
demonstrate a means of ending the
epidemic of payroll robberies and ito
show that modern business may be
conducted most efficiently without the
use Of small change thus leaving the
nations money where 1t belongs, in
the banks, to serve as the basis of
