New York Business Man Posi- lively Declares He Saw Sus- pect With Driver Prior
 to Explosion
Rx Assoniated Pr.sa

Scranton, Pa, April 23-Positive iden- tification of Tito Ligi. arrested here last Tuesday on suspicion of complicity in the Wall street explosion last Septem- Der, was made here today by Thomas J. Smith of Brooklyn, employed in the legal department of an insurance com pany having offices in the New York financial district
 Smith picked out Ligi from a line of six prisoners as the man he had seen ar guing with the driver of the death wagon shortly before the explosion. He later told newspapermen that a few moments after the blast he saw Lgi rushing along Cedar street near Nassau street and Broadway, urging two companions tc hurry out of the neghborhood
 Smith, who formerly was a lieutenant in the New York fire department, as signed to Investigating incendiaries, said he was walking in Wall street toward Broad few minutes before the explo- sion.
 At about n:55 a. m., he said he was approaching the banking house of J. P Morgan & Co.,, when. he saw a dlap- dated wagon with red and black striped wheels in front of the United States as- say office. Inside the wagon, partly covered with newspapers, were two bar rels and two boxes about two or three feet square.
 LOOh ED TUX Full 'I thought it was a junk wagon" he said. My attention was first called to it when I noticed two men standing near the horses head, arguing. I crossed the street expecting to see a fight. One of the men was about five feet six inches tall. roughly dressed and of stocky build" sf
 Turning to Raymond Clark, foreman on q construction job in the vicinity of the e-s.. boa ton fitted the man that Clark had seen shortly after the blast. Clark. who also went to Scranton today to see if he could recognize Lgi, but who failed to do so, admitted that the general de- scription fitted the man who few mo- nents after the explosion rushed up to him and shouted, My God my horse has been killedr'
 Smith said the other man standing by the wagon was taller and better dressed. This man, whom he identified as Ligi, was wrangling. he said. with the small Ter man, apparently trying to induce him to leave the neighborhood.
 ''The shorter man" smith added, "ap- parently did not want to go. T thought they were going to fight and I stayed around moment but there was no fight and went on. turning np Nassau street.
 RECOGNIZED FLEEING MAN
 'Just after I had passed the corner Of Nassau and Cedar streets, I heard the explosion. I turned to go back to Wall street but was stopped by the rush of people fleeing up Nassau street. Run ming by me in the crowd I saw three men going westward in Cedar street to- ward Broadway, and one of them was the man I had seen wrangling with the wagon driver. Neither of the two men with him. however. was the driver.

BRITAIN STANDS FIRM


 Lympne, Englanu April 23.--It is Great Britain's intention to abide py the provisions of the agreement arrived at in Paris last January with regard to what steps should be -aken to coerce Germany into meeting her separations debt; she agrees that failure by Ger many to meet her obligations in this respect should be met with further pressure.
 This became known sn the course 3f today's meeting between Premier Briand and Premier Lloyd George. who came here to confer on the situation arising from Germany's stand on the separations question and what is to be done if she continues her recalcitrant attitude.
 M Briand, at his own request, ex- plained to the British prime ministel. st conference which occupied the Lest part of this afternoon and even ing, the French proposals for setting up an economic administration in part of West Phalia. including the Ruhr coal basin, should the Germans fail to pay the reparations due May 1. The pro- ceeds of this administration, such IS taxation on coal exports and excess profits duties levied on German indus trial establishments, would under the French plan, be placed in a pool out of which the separations would be paid the allies.
 Although MT Lloyd George doubtless was aware of the general character of the French plans for the communica- tion exchanged between the British and French foreign offices, M. Briand ex- pressed the wish to explain personally some of the important features af- fecting the general policy of the allies, in order to attain complete unity of purpose.

Those present in addition to the principals. were M- Kammerer, the official reposi- tory of many French state secrets, and Sir Maurice Hankey, secretary to the committee on imperial defense; Sir Philip Kerr, Robert c. vansittart and NJ. Sylvester.
 SEE SIMON'S DOWNFALL
 Berlin, April 2S.--Members of the va rious parties in the Reichstag who up to the present have not been actively taken into the governments confidence with respect to the German-American nego- tiations, have contented themselves with speculating on the length of time Foreign Minister Simons is likely to remain in of flee. They are marking time, while the cabinet, behind thick veil of secrecy, is declared to be making hectic attempt to reach formula which will enable 1t to transmit presentable counter proposals to Washington tonight.
 Berlins apprisal of the appeal to Presi- dent Harding, which followed six hours later by the reply from Washington, not only found the general public unprepared. but came as surprise to the Reichstag parties who view the action as a stolen march,

Arbuckle's Lawyers Will
Begin Their Case
To-day

San Francisco, Sept. 2s.-The de-
Tense in the preliminary hearing OF
Roscoe C. FATTY Arbuckle, charged
with the murder of Miss Virginia
Rape, announced that it was prepared
to begin its effort to clear the motion
picture comedian when Police Judge
Svlvain J. Lazarus court resumed late
to-day
The prosecution completed its pre-
sentation of evidence yesterday with
out having called Mrs. Bambina Maude
belmont, complaining witness, the
move taking the defense by surprise.
When Assistant District Attorney
Isadore Golden told the court that Mrs.
belmont would not be summoned by
the prosecution, Frank L. Dominguez,
Arbuckle's chief counsel, was on his
feet instantly and demanded that she
be, produced.
ain the interests of truth and JUS
tice we demand it," he told the court.
1--WE demand that Mrs. belmont be put
upon the stand that we may cross-eX-
anime her. She is the person who swore
to the warrant. She is the chief wit
ness. | never heard of case in which
the complainant was not produced"
Judge Lazarus told the prosecution
it was not necessary to have Mrs, Del
mont testify but warned that they
were risking the chance of having the
complaint dismissed. Later he denied a
motion of the defense to quash the
charge against the screen comedian and
then court adjourned until late this
afternoon.
Should Judge Lazarus decide that
the comedian be freed OF the murder
charge, he will face a charge of man
slaughter brought by the San Fran
cisco county grand jury in connection
with Miss Rappe's death
There is also a possibility that Ar
buckle will be prosecuted for alleged
violation of the prohibition law.
T.. Forrest Mitchell, California fed
eral prohibition director, is conducting
an Investigation and on its completion,
according to Robert II. Mccormack. as =.
sistant to the United States attorney
general, the liquor angle of the case
will be brought before a federal grand
jury.
Mccormack in a statement last night
declared that he was Withholding grand
jury action pending a full report from
Mitchell. He has intimated that in the
course of his investigation of the liz
uor supply alleged to have been CON
sumed at the Arbuckle party, he has
uncovered whiskey smuggling traf-
lic between Mexico and San Francisco

BOOK LOVE A RARE TRAIT.
Great Writers on Record as to the
Pleasure They Got From Their
Own Libraries.

Book love is not common trait and
lack of it is prevalent even among col
legians yet there is no greater draw
back for soul education than to be born
deaf to the persuasive influences of
worthy books. No. other friendship
can quite equal that of the books
through which our spiritual nature
and our character have been advanced
writes James f. Willis.
Cicero preferred to part with all he
owned rather than not be permitted to
live and die among his books. Bishop
Fenelon said that not for an empire
would he part with his books or his
book love. That master historian,
Gibbon, said that book love meant
more to him than all the riches of the
Indies, Maculay preferred to be beg
gar with love for books than to be a
millionaire without them.
When Scott returned to Abbotsford
to die and was wheeled into his library,
he burst into tears as he beheld those
lifelong friends upon his bookshelves,
When Southey's intellect failed and he
was no longer able to read, he would
walk about his bookshelves, gently
stroking or caressing these friends of
his happier days.
Book love supplies each day and each
hour with an endless stream of indie
pendent and rational pleasure, and we
need not hope for anything really
worthy of Christian or an American
from, MAN yubo daao pnt OF timae love
to stay in his own room in til nobling
company of men who live in books. We
all are made or marred by the COM
pany We keep, whether of men or
| books.
No darkness from without can ever
obscure the light and the sweetness
within which is forever the portion of
the man who loves books. Washington
Irving says that it is only the book
lover who knows hQw dear those silent
yet eloquent companies of pure
thoughts and innocent hours becc ne
in the time of adversity-when worldly
things grow drossy, when friends
grow cold and intimates become vapid-
ly civil and commonplace.
Next to the glory of writing a wor-
they book is taste for the dainties
among books, a discernment in APP
preciating good books and hunger
for collecting them. II is the caprice
of vulgarians to sneer at him who
inclines toward making books the chief
of his friends. to surround himself
with them, and to live happy in their
midst.
Perhaps it is because they feel that
his choice is a reflection upon their
cheaper tastes that they square them
selves by clubbing him biblimane-

FILL THE EMPTY PEWS"
Is Slogan Adopted By Three Denomina
tons in Vermont.

A state wide campaign having as
it's slogan, Fill the Empty Pews,' was
planned at Burlington recently by the
Reverends w. A. Dawson, ID. D..
Charles G.. Merrill and Walter Daven-
port representing the Baptists, Con-
gregational and Methodist churches in
Vermont. The two underlying ideas
of this campaign are the absence of
self seeking on the part of the demon
nations represented, each planning for
the enlargement and success of the
others as much as for itself; and Sec
ond that the church exists for the
community rather than the community
for the church.
Each of the officials designated was
earnest and optimistic and believed
that the movement would mark the
beginning of a new era in the religious
history of the state, and would lead
to the filling of long time empty pews.
the rehabilitation of dying churches,
and the hesrtening OF the entire re-
bgious forces of the state.
As an aid to this program the three
supcrintendents mentioned, plan per.

cities Of the state where they win

unitedly urge the adoption of methods
that can double and treble the aver
