DAMAGING TO

Seems Unworried.

San Francisco. Sept. 22.-RoscoC
(Fatty) Arbucklc, heavcd his huge
frame off the seat in the visitors
cage in the prison yesterday after
noon, rolled himself brown paper
cigarette, smiled his custard-piC
smile and observed he wasn't wpr-
ried.
Fatty" had been talking to his
Wife, Minta Durfee, who, though
separated from him for years, has
come across the width of the CONT
nent to aid him He wasn't particu-
larly delighted to see newspaper
men, neither was he much dis
pleased.
This afternoon he went before
Judge Sylvain Lazarus for the pre-
liminary hearing on the murder
charge in connection with the death
of Miss Virginia Rappe and the
prolonged party in the st. Francis
hotel. He said he had nothing tc
say about the ordeal.
He vas told of tho alleged reve-
lations made yesterday to the Los
Angeles grand jury by his friends
Al Semnacher and Fred Fishback
He merely shrugged his fat Shout
ders, puffed his cigarette, grunted
and turned away.
Thomas Lee Woolwine, district at
tOrney of Los Angeles, had advised
District Attorney Matthew Brady
of San Francisco. that Semnacher
had told the grand jury of ID con
vcrsation be had with Arbueklc d
few days after the party in the St
Francis hotel.
Semnachcr said, according to Mr.
Woolwinc, that Arbuckle told hin,
he was worried, that he believed
he had inflicted serious injury
on Miss Rape.
This is the most dangerous piece
of evidence that has come to the
prosecution, it is said.
When it penetrated to the barber
shops and the pool rooms of the
city, where men are betting 5 to |
that Arbucklo will be acquitted, the
odds dropped.

measures one and one-fourth inch,
very white and clean.
Mr. Martin said the staple was
produced from Lone Star" seed

as is usually the case with him
Nvery year He believes in plant
ing good seed. long ago realizing
that it paid him handsomely to do
so. He has the reputation Of never

it is claimed that Mr.. Martin,
by reason of his enterprise in plant
ing the best quality seed, has in
this instance received not less than
$4,000 per bale more than is Or
dinarily received for cotton produced
from planting ordinary grade
Mr. Martins experience in this
case is but another instance Of how
much more profitable it is for a
farmer to use practical judgment
