Judge Says He
 Will Deny Motion
 To Dismiss Charge
Fatty" Will Know By Night Whether He Must Stand Trial for Murder-Defense Expected to Rest Its Case-Mrs. Del1nont Does Not Testify.

San Francisco, Sept. 28-By l nightfall, Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle will know whether he must stand trial for murder.
 Anxiously today. the big comedian, his wife and attor- neys awaited the converting of court this afternoon at two o'clock when Police Judge Syl- vain Lazarus will announce his decision.
 There were indications today that Arbuckle will be held to answer in Superior Court. Judge Lazarus late ! yesterday, informed the defense that I he will deny their motion to dismiss ] the charge The Judge has power to reduce the charge from murder to nansfaughter and it is on this author l ity that the defense bases a faint hope l that their noted client will not have to face a jury charged with the mur- der of Virginia Rappe.
 When court convened, the defense will be given the opportunity to call witnesses in Arbuck1e's behalf. Un- tention not to put Mrs. Bambine Maud Belmont on the stand, the defense is expected to rest its case Should they be able to force Mrs Delmont to the stand, then the defense probably will Gall two or three witnesses. Arguments on law are expected to be brief. The case then will be square, iy in the hands of the Judge for de- cision.
 The state brought this case to close in a dramatic manner. Heh Prevon and Alice Blake, guests at the fatal party, told in detail of the party. They related that Miss Rappe went dancing with a kind of skip" into Room 1919, of the Arbuckle suite, that a moment later Arbuck1e l followed and closed the door, that it remained closed 45 minutes and was opened only after Mrs. Delmont had
 kicked on it and demanded that it be opened.
 They told of finding Miss Rappe l moaning: 'I am going to die,' and l of the first aid treatment given her. 1 The defense cross exa mined general ! ly, apparently reserving their fire for Mrs. Delmont. But Mrs. Delmont 1 did not appear.
 Insteads chambermaid from the l hotel in which Arbuck1e.s party was i staged Nook the stand. In 1abored ! English she told of hearing woman scream in 1219: NO. No! Oh! My l God" And a man reply: ''Shut up!" and with this bombshen, the ] state rested it's case. Vainly the de- i fense, supported by Judge Lazarus urged that Mrs. Delmont testify.
 ''She is a mere incident to this i ca se," the district attorney replied : Our case is complete"

 No hitch has developed. it was said, but the prime minister has de- should not wait another day before making the communication public in order to give all the members of his cabinet an opportunity to pass on the draft of the reply.
 Forecasts of the note were unani- nous in declaring it would again make clear the British position, which already has been stated by the government. It was declared the note would make it clear that the conference had been called to dis cuss Irish self government with the empire, but that nothing contained in the. message would make it i'm possible it's acceptance by the Sim Fein, or demand explicit concur as a condition to the conference. There was general confidence that the meeting would be held.
 Members of the cabinet have re- turned to MT. Lloyd George their memoranda upon the draft of the note and it was understood today they had suggested nothing more than minor alterations. Objections which at one time it was thought might imperl the prospect of a con- ference were said not to have been pressed

 Must Solve Own Problerns

Washington, Sept. 2s.-Unemploy- ment must be solved. in the end. by the communities in which unen- ployment exists, and not by the ap- pHcation of any national or universal remedies
 This conclusion has already been reached by leaders. of the National Unemployment conference, and it was reflected today in a report of the economic advisory commission. It will be further reflected in the re- ports to be brought in during the next few days by the manufacturing, building, transportation, mining and shipping committees, which a~e now engaged in studying conditions in their particular fields.
 sion, composed of professors of economics and industrial students, urged that each community take cognizance of it's own problem and seek the remedy through local relief agencies.
 Some of the measures recom- mended were:
 Increasing the volume of public works. rotation of jobs, cooperation of all existing agencies in this emergency. speeding up of local buildings and repairs.
 The committee on emergency relief in manufacturing has concluded it's work and will await the assembling of the whole conference before mak- ing it's report public. On this com nittee, are Charles M SchWab, the steel magnate, and Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor There has been spirited discussion behind closed doors over whether wage reductions and their reluctant economic effect should be mentioned in the report.
 It was finally decided that this con- troyersial question should be left alone and the committees report will make no mention of it. Among the reoopo eoda ationS to be brought in by the committee are:
 Rotation of jobs, part time employ ment until the emergency has pass
