ARREST WOMAN
As WITNESS Of
HANDBOOKWORK
Mrs. Nicely, Owner Of "Houss Of
Mystery" Taken on Rock
vile, Nd, Warrant.

Her failure to testify against two
alleged handbook mon before the
grand jury at Rockville last Friday
resulted In the arrest Of Mrs. Kath-
crime 8. Nicely. OF the Portland Apart.
ment Hotel, Fourteenth street Ind
Vermont avenue northwest. night no
fore last on q bench warrant issued at
the Maryland town. She was taken
into custody by Detective Sergeants
Bradley and Keck. At the instance of
T. Morris Wampler. her attorney, she
was released In 81 900 bond after Cher
Justice Mccoy got out OF bed to issue
q wrft Of habeas corpus.
On July 3. 1921. John b. Kellehsr
and another man were trapped in the
house at Leland street. Chevy Chase.
Nd, and were arrested on the charge
of making q handbook on the races.
The house In known az tho Pink
House" and also the blouse Of Mys-
terry" Mrs. Nicely IL said to have
sub-leased It to ths two men. When
the place was raided q large truck
was required to remove the racing
paraphernalia- Seven telephones had
been installed.
1t Is charged by the Maryland
authorities that Mrs. Nicely had fun
knowledge of what was going on at
the place. and that at times she even
accepted bets over the telephones.
That was the reason why she was
summoned to appear before the grand
jury at Rockville last Friday.
When she did not put in her appear
ance Sheriff George e. Nicholson
brought the bench warrant to this
city and caused her arrest When sho
was arrested shortly after the raid
she was released on her peraonal
bond on the stipulation that she would
appear as a witness.
According to Detective Ssrgeants
Sweeney and MesserrWho assisted the
Maryland authorities in collecting the
evidence against the men. the alleged
handbook makers maintained an Of
flee here and after collecting the days
bets would telephone them into the
House of Mystery" where the rec
ords Of the days proceedings were
Kept. 1t is said that many thousands
OF dollars were wagered every week
at the place.
The house has been under surveil-
lance for years, but 1t was not until
Sweeney and Messer were called in
that the 'mystery' regarding the
place was cleared up. During the
war residents in tho neighborhood be-
came suspicious because Of the many
visits Of strangers. Tho seven tele-
phones also added to the mystery Of
the place. Uncle Sans secret SER
vice men had the place under sur
veillance for months. but could not
solve the puzzle.
Mrs. Nicely was indicted Friday by
the Rockville grand jury on the
charge that she was involved in the
handbook making. The two men are
at liberty in bonds Of SIS, 900 each.

ARbUCKLE CASE
Show Girl Guests at Famous
Party Will Be Called by
State Tomorrow.
BY ELLIS III. MARTIN,
International News Service.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 1s.-The
stage was set tonight for the hearing
OF the witnesses on whose testimony
the fate OF Roscoe c'Fatty'D Arbuckie,
will In all probability stand or fall. N
They are ley Pryvon and Alice
gay party given in a local hotel by the
famous film funster following which
Virginia Rape died.
District Attorney Brady intends to
place these girls on the stand Mon.
day. Then will begin the real battle
OF the defense to clear Arbuckle. On
crossexamination they will face 4
whitening fire OF questions, tending to
impeach the stories they tell the State.
ley Pryvon has been in the custody
Of an attache Of the district attorney
since her first appearance before the
grand jury. This was also true al
Alice Blake until two weeks ago,
when she effected q reconciliation
with her mother, q wealthy society
matron Of Oakland. and returned
home.
VIII Attack Stories. :,
In the selection Of the jury. the
defense plainly indicated their inten.
ton to attack this ''impounding OF
Witnesses" as Chief Counsel Gavin
McNab termed 1t, and it IL also
learned the authenticity Of many fea.
lures OF their stories will be quesL
toned by the defense.
The groundwork for the appearance
on the stand Of these two eyewitness
OF what took place at the ArbucSla
party. was laid in the first two DAYS
OF testimony. Three doctors and 1
nurse were the witnesses.
Through DIR. Shelby Strange, Dr..
William Ophuls. DR.. Arthur Beardslsy
and Miss Grace Halstead, the State
established the following points, con-
sidered pertinent to their case:
1. That Virginia Rape died q
peritonitis brought about by q run
tured bladder.
2. That a display OF "a certain
amount Of force" was the probable
cause Of the rupture. 4
3. That after death her body had
many bruises and that at least part
Of these bruises were apparent At
death.
4. That Immediately after the party
Miss Rape was in terrific pain, the
location Of which was the abdominal
region.
5. That there was no evidences oe
alcoholism apparent when DIR. Beard
sley, first physician called to attend
her, arrived.
6. That he realized at once II Wa
surgical case, calling for an opera
ton.
Surprises Expected.
During the questioning of this wit
ness the defense was not without COM
fort. Cross examination developed
that muscular contraction" such a.
vomiting, can cause a rupture Of the
bladder. The difficulty Of determining
whether bruises are Of ante-mortem
or post-mortem origin was also
brought out.
The defense is expected to spf ing
many surprises when Miss PryS IN
and Miss Blake take the stand-ths
nature Of which they are carefully
concealing. The trial is expected to
last a month.

Great impotence is expressed by the buying
public over the failure of manufactured articles to
show any considerable drop in price, and there is
disposition to hold retail dealers responsible. In
point of fact there has been no appreciate reduc
ton in labor COSTS and, while manufacturers have
been able to make cuts of five and ten per cent,
these are so negligible that they cannot be applied
to the retail price of many articles The situation
in the printing trade is good case in point. At
present paper prices are at the peak, and labor
costs have not been lowered. In the matter OF
paper consumption is far beyond production, and
it is predicted that, with the exception of num-
Der Of the cheaper grades, prices will advance
rather than recede. Ink is double it's pre-war
price, and type and other materials are from fifty
to one hundred per cent higher. With the ex-
ception of few minor items there have been no
reductions in printers supplies, and consequent
" there can be no immediate relief from the pres
emit high prices of printed matter. And the same
situation obtains in many other lines of business
