aAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 2s.-Ths
State was confronted today with the
task of pulling down an imposing
structure Of innocence built up by
counsel defending Roscoe c'Fatty'1
Arbuckls. charged with manslaugh-
ter. The keystone of the defense was
the simple, yet flawless, story told on
the witness stand by tho defendant
himself.
In rebuttal tho State may attack
only such evidence a. was presented
by the defense. And 20 skillfully did
tho defense build their case there 10
little to attack. BY eliminating char
actor witnesses. the defense left no
loophols through which the State
might bring in tales Of other gay
parties to confound the obese come
dian,
May Attack veracity.
Witnesses who testified for the
defense, including Arbuckie. may be
attacked in rebuttal, as to truth and
veracity, Some Of the witnesses will
be attacked. but the defense 10 built
Its case that no point depends upon
the testimony Of any one witness,
The State expects to take elose to
two days on rebuttal, There re-
mains to be placed in evidence . re-
port Of three physicians who were
commissioned by the court to make
microscopic examination Of the blad-
der Of Virginia Rappe to determine
whether II was diseased, This test,
due to a misunderstandhg, was not
gotten under way until today and
may not be completed before Thurs
day,
The State has some forty rebuttni
witnesses, including Mrs, Catherine
Fox, of Chicago. She will, II Ia
understood, refute testimony OF de-
fense witnesses to the effect that
in her early days in Chicago, Vir-

to tear off her clothing when at
tackled by violent pains.

ONHUGHESPLAN
24-Hour Delay Is Sought on
Adoption of U. S. Ship
Scrapping Proposal.
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES.
International News Service.

The day Of the final showdown
on acceptance Of the American
naval program was postponed
twenty-four hours today at the re-
quest Of zone Of the foreign dele
cations"
Reprieve Begged.
The committee Of naval experts of
the five great powers was scheduled
to meet at 10 o'clock for final sas-
sion regarding the capital ship ratio
Of 6-b-s. proposed by Secretary Of
State Hughes. When ,he meeting
hour arrived, however, II was an.
rounoed that "one of the foreign
powers" had requested . postpone
ment Of the session for twenty-four
hours.
No reason was advanced for the
postponemsnt, but 1t was understood
that Japan'a experts were not ready
to c1prcss q final opinion. It waa
suERested in some quarters that com
munication with Tokyo was perhaps
responsible for tho delay.
Belief Unanimity VIII Come.
Some concern Is felt by members
Of tho Japanese colony here over the
state OF public opinion IN Japan, as
reflected in dispatches received here
by Japanese and by tho American
press, Reports havc been received of
a number of public meetings in japan
at which tho demand was made that
Japan's delegates horo take an un.
yielding position for the 1o-i0-7 oap'
itai ship ratio instead OF tho b-b-s plan
proposed In the American program.
Today's delay, however, was not
locked upon generally as affecting In
any way tho ultimate result of the
negotiations. The American poaition
IL adamant, and the belief prevails
that In the end Japan will accept the
90 per cent ratio to which she has
been assigned.

HIGHSCHOOL BOYS

Police to Probe Theory That

when A. 3. Thielens, 1925 y.
Michigan ST. reported 90 the police
that his Studebakcr sedan had been
stolen from IN front of the high
school Friday night. II made the
fourth car that was pilfered from
the identical location IN the last two
nights. Two OF the cars. however,
have been recovered by the police.
one Of the cars found belonged to
Jesse kiZer, r r. No. 4. The thieves
deserted it on the Lincoln Way W.
road after they had damaged the
body of II and practically ruined the
engine. The other car belonging 20
G. r. Weber. was also found on the
outskirts Of the city and bore marks
of rough usage.
The fact that the high school
play. "Mikado." has been the attrac-
tiOn at the local school during the
two nights leads the police TO believe
that the auto thieves are none other
than "a gang Of high school boys.
