JITNEY DRIVERS
LOSE FINAL FIGHT
SUPREME COURT
McGlOthern Application for Writ
of Error to Federal Tri.
bunal Denied.

Application of Seattle jitney
drivers under the name of H. P. Nc
Glothern for writ of error out of
the state supreme court to take their
case against the city of Seattle to
the supreme court of the United
States was denied yesterday after
noon by Acting Chief Justice Mark
A. Fullerton.
Denial was based on the ground
that no federal question is involved
and that the writ will not be issued
as matter of course. 1t was argued
Lby w. N. Crawford, attorney for the
jitney men, that the state supreme
court had no jurisdiction to deny
the application but had merely to
fix the bond for appeal when such
application was made.
The only remaining step that the
jitney men can take is to apply d.
rectly to the United States supreme
court for rehearing of the case in
that court on a writ of certiorari.
Denial of the petition for review on
a writ of error finally disposes Of the
case so far as the courts of this state
are concerned.

INTER.CLUB COUNCIL

Almost unanimous decision was
reached at the first meeting OF the
Inter-Club Council, held at noon to.
day at the Hotel Olympian, that the
body would serve as clearing house
for the organizations represented
following considerable discussion by
the members present. It was also
deemed advisable for the council to
act as an advisory board on all
matters referred to it by the con-
stituent bodies. This would, 1t is
believed, get concerted action on
problems affecting the whole COM
.munity.
The council will sit as an advisory
board. All matters referred to 1t
will be taken back to the clubs rep
resented by the delegates from
these clubs. Any matter initiated
by the Council must first have the
approval of each club before definite
action is taken.

DECLARES WAR
ON NOISY MINORITY
Ben Hampton, Former Magazine
Publisher, Speaks for Re-
form Element.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 13-WaI
was declared today on "a small but
noisy minority" of the motion pic
ture colony which "drives high
speed drinking places" and sup
plies material for gossip and scandal
rejecting on the great army of well
behaved, honest, sincere, generous,
kindly people,"
Ben B. Hampton, former maya
zine publisher, now producing mo-
ton picture plays, was the spokes-
man for the reform element in the
movie industry.
Hampton, confined to his bed, has
penned statement on the Arbuckle
case.
Aside from Hampton it was about
impossible to secure any comment
from the movie colony on the diff
culties in which the once jovial r.
Arbuckle had found himself.
81 don't care to discuss the case, "
was the refrain sung everywhere.
The business community joined in.
Even press agents, for the fist time
since the memory of man runneth,
refused to talk for publication.
at is inevitable that the picture
profession and industry should now
suffer temporarily from general in
discriminate criticism aroused by
this horrible affair, Hampton de-
clared. MANY people in their hot
resentment Of conditions that made
tragedy possible may be prone to
carelessly criticize the entire indus
try. .<'
"Such an attitude would be un-
fair and unjust in the extreme.
"The Los Angeles motion picture
colony has suffered for years because
of a small minority Of black sheep
Men and women who know the per-
sonnet of the colony know fast sets
from only small percentage of the
whole profession but unfortunately
these speedy individuals keep them
selves in the public eye constantly
and the public thoroughtlessly make
conclusions that are completely a
variance with real truth.

SAN FRANClSCO, sept. IT.
Whether Arbuckle will face trial for
murder or for granddaughter prob
ably will be determined by the out.
come of the inquest today, the dis
trict Observation-Disclosures today.
II the coroner's jury finds that the
life of Miss Virginia Rape was
taken in the wilful commission OF
a felony-that she was murdered
then the district attorney probably
will insist upon prosecuting Ar
buckle on the murder charge sworn
to two days ago by Mrs. Bambina
Maude belmont, 1.-The avenger."
II the jury returns an "open vir-
dict, leaving a doubt as to cause;
or includes any action tending to
exonerate the fat comedian, then the
district attorneys ONCE probably
will prosecute on the indictment for
manslaughter voted by the grand
Jury early today.
Three Witnesses Called.
The inquest was scheduled to re-
sumo at 10 o'clock today. Three
witnesses-Dr. William Ophuls, DR..
Emmett Rixford and Miss Fey Pyv-
ron were to testify. 1t was consid-
cred possible that Miss Alice Blake
also could be called. The inquest
was expected to end by early after
noon.
The coroner's jury cannot free
Arbuckle, but it's verdict was looked
upon as a sort of test vote on the
question of his innocence or the
degree of his guilt.
! District Attorney Mathew Brady
and Captain of Detectives Duncan
Matheson, went into conference
shortly before 8 o'clock to consider
the choice they now have Of prose-
, cutting Arbuckle for first degree
murder or for manslaughter. Their
final decision, however, was expected
to be withheld until after the in
quest.
Brady Disappointed.
IT am disappointed that the grand
Jury did not indict Arbuckle for first
degree murder, Brady said when he
came to his Office this morning. Il
still feel that that Is what should
have been done"
Arbuckle had an early breakfast
in his cell today after a sound nights
sleep and at 9 o'clock was awaiting
call from his attorneys before
leaving the Jail for the inquest room.
Coroner Leland submitted to the
question of whether the testimony OF
Miss Alice Blake would be taken
He said their testimony could not
advance the case further. The jury

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. H.
That Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle
will be tried for manslaughter
and the first degree murder
charge against him will be al.
lowed to go into the discard was
generally believed here today.
Captain of Detectives Duncan
Matheson said he had advised
District Attorney Brady to fol.

Brady was not ready to make
an announcement, he said, but
the fact that he was understood
to have offered to close the in.
quest without further testimony
was taken to indicate he was
little interested in the POSSIBLE.
ity of Arbuckle being accused of
murder by the cOrOner's jury.
District Attorney Brady said
however, he would not make a
definite decision until tomorrow
as to which charge will
be pressed.
At the opening of the inquest
Brady challenged the defense
to place Arbuckle on the wit
ness stand and the challenge
was refused.
Brady made the following
statement: 1.-THE defense has
said a great deal about justice
and getting all the facts. They
want all the facts in open court.
"There is one man who can
give them all the facts. That
man is Roscoe Arbuckle.
"Let them call Arbuckle to
the stand and ask him what
happened. Miss Rape Is dead
and the one man who knows
everything that took place In
that hotel room is Arbuckle."
"This is not the proper time
fer Arbuckle to tell his story"
the defense notified Coroner
Leland in refusing the district
attorneys challenge.
