ARBUCKLE PROSECUTION
CALLS MORE WITNESSES
Rebuttal Continues-Mrs. Neigh
bors Arrested on Charge of
s Perjury.

By the Associa ted Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. Calf. November
s0.-Additional witnesses in rebuttal
will be placed on the stand today
by the prosecution in the Roscoe
Arbuckle case, 1t was asserted by
the district attorneys office. The
defense then will counter with sur
rebuttal testimony. Arbuckle is on
trial in connection with the death
of Virginia Rape, motion picture
actress.
Indications were that the entire
day would be occupied by rebuttal
and surrebuttal testimony, and, as
each side is expected to be allotted
at least four hours for final argu-
ment, it was apparent the case would
not be placed in the hands of the
jury for q verdict before late tomor-
row or Friday.
Mrs. Minnie Neighbors. a defense
witness. was arrested last night on
a charge of perjury growing out of
testimony she gave a few days ago.
she testified to seeing Miss Rappe
at Wheeler Hot Springs one day last
August, seized by an illness similar
to that from which she suffered at
the party in Arbuckle's rooms.
A witness called yesterday by the
state declared. however, that Miss
Rappe was not at Wheeler Springs
at the time stated by Mrs. Neighbors.

that the vice admiral expressed his

BRITISH T00PP0SE
BIG FRENCH NAVY
Fear Control of Mediter-
ranean in Combined Ftsnes'-
Italian Fleets.
By the Associated Press.

According to authoritative rumors
circulating in the naval circles of the
arms conference that the desire of
France to have a navy equal to that
of Japan would be opposed by the
British, whose naval experts argue that
if both France and Italy have a fleet
equal to that of Japan they would sur
pass that of England.
Fear Mediterranean Control.
If the English. French and Italian
navies were in the proportion of 5-3-3
the union of Franco-Italian fleets would
have the complete control of the Medi-
terranean, which the British hold is in
dispensibe to them as the highway to
India and distant South Africa. The
British are understood to hold that as
neither before nor after the war the
French and Italian fleets put together
surpassed the English one. this should
be kept in consideration in establishing
the ratio of the French and Italian
fleets, which summed together should
be less than the five ratio assigned to
Great Britain.
No Fear in Combination.
The comment IN frencn naval cir
cles is that as both Italy and France
are friends of Great Britain there
is no more reason to fear a COM
bination of the two against her than
there is to fear that Japan and the
United States would unite against
her. The French point out that the
theory of the British naval experts
that Britain must have fleet equal
to that of any two powers Is out
of date. If such theory, the French
assert, does not apply to the Pacific
why should it apply to the Medfterra-
mean.
The French thesis is also that since
neither Italy nor France are likely to
build up to the 300,000-ton maximum
involved in three ratio as compared
to Britain's five, it makes no practical
difference to Great Britain what ratio
is fixed. 1t has been indicated in
French quarters that France Will not
object to Italy having navy as large
as that of France.

QUIET RESTORED IN ROME.
Schanzer-Briand Incident Regard
ed Closed.

ROME, November 29.-The first

three days that italy has been with
out newspapers there has been no

especially tranquil; there seemed less
confusion and less street disorder,
the city taking on the aspect of a
quiet holiday.
The period in which the citizens
have been obliged to do without daily

minds agitated by the alleged Schan-
zer-Briand incident.
This evening for the first time all
the newspapers finally accepted the
statement that there had been no

PREPARATIONS BACK
OF RATHENAU VISIT
German in Conference With
British Financial y
Officials.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 30.-Reports that
the British cabinet was considering the
proposed moratorium for Germany were
confirmed in official circles today. The
conditions a moratorium could be de-
clared.
1t was made known this afternoon
that the interview which DR.. Walter
Rathenau, former German minister of
reconstruction. had. with Sir Robert
Horne, chancellor of the exchequer. yes
terday. was for the discussion among
other things of the moratorium ques-
ton. Sir John Bradbury, British dele

Baron Edgar DsARetnon. British am
bassador to Germany, also attended the

The arrival here yesterday of DR..
Il. IL,
was accepted in official and banking
circles as bearing upon the question of
Germany's reparations obligations.
The morning newspapers give great
attention to DIR. Rathenau's visit, and
discuss the subject of Germany's
finances from many aigles. As yet, no
very concrete opinion has developed,
although it is noteworthy that there
is complete absence of any declared
hostility to the suggestion of a mora
torium for Germany, or any other
scheme calculated to make payment of
the reparations easier.
See Approval Of Moratorium,
Indeed, the tenor of most of the COM
ments suggests that it will be easy to
bring general opinion into line with
the view, attributed to financial ex-
perts, that a moratorium is desirable.
The question of frances position is
discussed by the financial writer's who
assume that a moratorium will be dis
tasteful to her, but it is argued that
French interests will be served equal
ly with British. and that France will
gain more in the long run under such
plan than by further occupation of
German territory should Germany de-
fault in her payments.
The financial writer's emphasize the
absolute necessity for Germany to
cease printing paper currency il a
moratorium is to be granted, and
some raise the question whether Ger

in this respect.
Another condition advocated is that

NATIONS WORKING
T0|NDUCE JAPAN TO
AGREE ON NAVY CUT
Weight of Opinion Is That
Position Blocking Limita-
ton Is UntenabIe.
BY y. o. MESSENGER.

1t is noted from the comments
heard in diplomatic and official circles
and written by the corps of foreign
correspondents versed in the technical
questions. that moral suasion is being
exerted to induce the Japanese dele
.EatioMs to the arms conference to
supersede the recommendation of
the Japanese naval experts with
acquiescence in the American ratio
of naval strength suggested.
The moderation, good temper and
logic with which the arguments in
behalf of the American plan are being
urged and sustained by all who differ
with the Japanese eNuerts is not over
looked as an important element in the
possible inducing of the japanese
absence of criticism of the Japanese
naval experts stand and on the con-
trary expression Of sympathetic in
terest in their position.
Weight of Opinion Felt.
But the weight of opinion outside
is unquestionabiy that the Japanese
position is untenabIe and should not
prevail. The naval experts of other
countries have gone over the figures
in their every possible combination
and always the same result comes
out. 1t shows the Japanese experts
method and basis of computation to
be unacceptable to the spirit of limi-
tation.
The result is so plainly obvious
and logical, it is asserted, that the
Japanese delegates need not feel that

readily admit-and be given credit
before all the world for doing so
that they had waived the claims OF
recognition of the object of the con-
ference-the limitation of armament
by mutual agreement. graciously
composed.
Threat ON Other Side.
For. it is pointed out. the other side
of the shield would show dark and
sinister face-the threat of continued
contest for supremacy among the ma
tions for naval building, against
which the judgment and reasoning of
civilization are resolutely set.
But there is a consideration even
more potent and cogent than this
which, it is urged, might well be
taken into account by the japanese
delegation in recognizing the Ameri-
can plan. and that is that final re-
fusal to do so would drive a knife
into the heart of the conference by
demonstrating that it is impossible
for nations to compose their differ
ences by negotiations of this kind.
Thoughtful men in the attending
conference groups feel that fiat re-
fusal by the Japanese delegation to
assent to the suggested ratio would
be tantamount to saying that the day
has not dawned when civilized ma
tions may hope to reach agreements
by mutual understandings arrived at
i'm friendly conference, but must still
pursue their own paths in their own
way, wherever they may lead.
Major Thought in Decision.
This is the major thought which it is
believed the Japanese delegation will
have in mind in making UP their de-
cision whether to sustain their naval
experts because their plan involves full
