JOKE TO FRENCHMAN

New York, Sept. 15.-Gaston
Monnet, travelling investigator of a
French brandy concern, considers
prohibition. thus far, in the United
States something of a joke. He
expressed the opinion there is more
drunkenness in the United States
and Canada than anywhere in the
world, before he sailed abroad the
French liner Paris.
Il have visited every nation in
the world studying liquor condi-
tons" said Mcnret, sand nowhere

More Powerful Than T. n. T.

At the arsenal at Edgewood, Md, it
is now possible to match every gas
used during the late war and new and
more deadly gases are being develop
ed there than the Germans ever
dreamed could be manufactured. The
Chemical Warfare Service of the U.
S. Army has developed the powerful
explosive known as Analite, nearly
ten times more powerful than the
deadly INT which played such an i'm
portant part in the World War.
Furthermore, officers attached to the
Edgewood Arsenal say it is now pos
sible to gas men severely enough to
place them in hopsital for six
months at time without endanger-
ing their ultimate recovery and with
out leaving any i'll effects.

Coroner's Jury Accuses
"Fatty" Arbuckle of !,
Manslaughter.
ATTEMPTED BRIBERY
Detective Captain Declares Witness Is
Offered Money to Withhold Testi-
mony-Other Developments in Case.

San Francisco, September IA
The coroner's jury returned a a.verdict
today holding that Miss Virginia
Rappe, motion picture actress, came
to her death through peritonitis,
caused by the rupture of an internal
organ.
Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle was held
responsible by the jury for Miss
Rappe's injury and the district at
torney was directed to conduct a full
investigation of the matter. The YER
dict charged Arbuck!e with man.
slaughter and directed that all official
sources concerned conduct full and
exhaustive investigation.
Urge City's Good Name Be Protected:
The jury held that Miss Rappe
came to her death through the appli-
cation of force, (which we believe
from the evidence was applied by
Roscoe Arbuckla and we hereby
charge him with manslaughter."
1--WE recommend that the district
attorney, chief Of police, grand jury
and prohibition enforcement officials
take steps to prevent further oc-
currence of such events so that San
Francisco will not be made the rem
devious of the debauche and the
gangster."
Ben Boas, one of the nine jurors,
returned minority verdict in which
Re said that Miss Rappe's fatal in
juries were caused by the application
of some force, "but | am unable to
say who applied it."
Two charges of murder, one pre-
ferred by the police and the other
by Mrs. Bambina Maude belmont,
friend of Miss Rappe, and two
charges of manslaughter, one re-
turned by the grand jury and the
other by the coroner's jury, rest
against Arbuckle.
The coroner's jury was out for
more than three hours after an ex-
animation of witnesses which started
last Monday.
Arbuckle although apparently
deeply moved, accepted the verdict
with composure.
The verdict was the outstanding
event of the Arbuck!e case today.
Other developments were
The starting of an investigation
into charges that liquor was brought
to and served ut the Labor Day party
iE ArbuckeTs hotel rooms. where
Miss Rappe was alleged to have suf-
fered the attack which ended IN her
death.
The finding Of Betty Campbell,
show girl, and one of those attending
the party, after she was reported TO
have disappeared and her interroga-
ton by tie district attorney.
The statement Of Captain Of Detec,,
tives Matheson, that one of the girl
witnesses who had attended .he party
had been asked TO accept bride to
withhold her testimony.
District Attroney Matthew A.
Erady said he had not decided
what course to pursue in regard to
the murder complaint. in view nf the
n.anslaughter charges, but would set
tie the matter before Friday, when
Arbuckle appears in police court to
plead to the murder charge.
The grand jury indictment for
manslaushter is to be returned in
the Supreme Court tomorrow.

Small shipments of sample hides and furs were made by the So- viet government from Moscow to Leipsig, with the explanation that these samples would make it possible for German merchants to make con- tracts in Germany for Russian furs.
 The Soviet governme refusal to admit William F. Johnston, the presi- dent of the American International Machinists, has also been much com nented on by the German press, which expresses surprise as Johnston had been an earnest advocate of trade relations between America and Rus sia.

EASTERN STAR BAN
 BLAMED ON WOMEN
Tried Indirectly to Influence Elec- tions, Is Charge of Leaders

Philadelphia, July 13-Too much lob bylng by women members of the East ern Star in the affairs of the Masons was given as the reason for the recent edlct of the grand master of Pennsyl- Vanla ordering all Masons to sever their connections with the Eastern Star
 Commenting on the situation. man nigh in Masonic circles said: The Order of the Eastern Star was found ed on the life of Ruth in the bible. IL was founded entirely by women years ago, and eventually their husbands Jolned the organization. It is under stood that one of the subsequent re- qulrements was that a women's chapter or the Eastern Star could not open un- less master Mason was present
 The proprlety of this requirement has been questioned along Masonic lines for a long time It is believed that women members of the Eastern Star have, from tiane to time, endeav- ored to directly or Indirectly make their influence felt in elections concerning their husbands lodges.
 This attitude naturally has resulted in dissension, not only in the lodges of Pennsylvania. but elsewhere II AAdlly, It ndS been taken up Dy the grand lodge of Pennsylvania. and the recent edict resulted.
 his edict will probably be carried out by each and every one of those II affects. This has been an accumulative matter, and undoubtedly the action of the grand master meets with the ap- proval of Masons generally
 According to advices from Wilkes Barre, where the grand chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star met recently, no action was taken by the organization in regard to the edict. The Eastern Star has a male membership of be- tween 1o.OOO and 1S.OOO, and their resignation would be a serious blow. Unoflcially, members of the Eastern l Star declare the action of the grand | master of the Masons to be the result o1 | repeated petitions from the women <
 organization for recognition by the Ma 1 sons. These requests have met in every
 instance with a steadfast refusal. 4 ! copy of the edict of the grand master | has been received at state headquarters l of the Eastern Star, but officials of the | organization refuse to discuss it
