PHYSICIANS TESTIFY
AT ARBUcKLE HEARING
Evidence At Preliminary Considered
Very Damaging To Arbuckle's
Defense

San Francisco.-Roscoe (Fatty) Ar
buckle latest fight was on the sec
ond line of defense. The man sat be-
side his pretty wife, Miss" Minta Dur
fee, and listened to his attorneys
wrangle and struggle in the court
room to prevent Police Judge Lazarus
ordering him to trial before the super.
ior court on charge of numbering
Virginia Rape, of Los Angeles. as an
aftermath of his Labor day party"
in San Francisco hotel. Fatty's
famous baby eyes dimmed and he
turned his head away when big
photograph of the body Of Virginia
Rappe was handed to witnesses for
Identification. Then he turned to his
wife and she patted his hand and
clenched his arm little tighter. Fatty
Strengthened up-he was fighting a
life and death battle and his first love,
the girl from whom he had been sepa-
rated for two years, was standing by
him. The evidence at the preliminary
hearing was damaging to Arbuckle's
defense. Doctors testified that only
one thing-external force-a blow or
a fail-could have caused the death
of Miss Rape.

BORAH OBJECTS
To DELAY TREATY
"IRREcoNcILABEs" REAR HEADS
WHEN CONSIDERATION soF
NEW PACT is BEGUN
VOICES FEAR OF OBLIGATIONS
Says Might Entail Necessity of Main
taInine U. s. Armed Forcer
on Germany

Washington.-Reser may be
made to the treaty of peace President
Harding has negotiated with Germany.
Thy would be designed to prevent
American ENHANCEMENT in the affairs
of Europe and are considered neces-
sary by those who led the fight
against the treaty of Versailles, not
ably Senator Borah.
A suggested reservation is the same
as one Senator Lodge, chairman of
the committee on foreign relations,
offered when the treaty of Versailles
was before tn senat 1t would pre-
vent participation of American repre-
sentatives on international bodies
created by the Versailles pact, unless
the express consent of congress were
obtained Another safeguard desired
by irreconcilables sthat there be
definite stipulation that in ratifying
the new treaty, American assumes no
obligations to assist in carrying out
provisions Of the Versailles treaty.
Senator Borah directed the atten-
ton of the committee on foreign rela-
tons to these points when it met re-
Gently to consider the treaty. He
based his objections on the fact that
the treaty accepts certain provisions
of the Versailles pact.
Borah contended that approval of
the treaty would entail a moral and
probably legal obligation on the part
of the United States to baintain troops
in Germany.
He argued also that unless there
were a provision to the contrary, the
executive might name American dele
gates to sit on the various bodies set
up to administer the peace of Yer
sailles, notably the reparation COM
mission, to which there was partic-
ular objection from irreconcilables. 1t
was argued that American participa-
ton In the affairs of the Preparations
commission would entail involvment
in European political affairs for years
to come.
The reservation of Senator Lodge, |
which 1t was suggested might be re-
vived, would forbid the president to |
name any American representative to |
sit on any international body without
consent of congress, and it would re-
quire the confirmation by the senate
Of any person named.

The ia lure of the campaign to de-
stroy trade unionism proves two
things, first that the working people
want trade organizations and will not
be driven from their protection, and
second, that trade unionism, there
