Witnesses Tell How Windy

RAIDS ARE DESCRIBED
District Attorney Promises to
Furnish Names Of All
Named in Testimony

CHICAGO, Sept. 81. A system
through which Chicago policemen
were alleged to have obtained as
many as half dozen rakeoffs on the
same case of whiskey was revealed
today in the governments investiga-
tion of the police department, said
by Chief of Police Charles Fitzmorris
to contain $500 bootleggers in a mem
bership of 5000.
The request of the chief that the
federal authorities help him clean
house was placed before the federal
grand jury with a score of witnesses
most of them policemen testifying
today.
One witness, according to officials
explained the system. Members Of
the police force, organized in bands,
he said, would obtain Information as
to shipments of whiskey into Chicago
and then, in uniferm,s would rob the
cars under the pretense that they
were confiscating liquor.
The whiskey then was sold at fair
" cheap bootlegging prices. When
the rliduOr was delivered. however, a
policeman always appeared and de-
the recipient for protection. After the
sum had been paid, other policemen
would raid the place and after col
lecting another fee, would "confis-
cate" the liquor, resell 1t and repeat
the process sometimes half dozen
times before turning the whiskey over
to a favored saloon keeper for sale
at high prices.
Charles F. Clyne. district attorney.
tonight still was preparing full re-
port to Chief Fitzmorris, in which he

enforcement of the prohibition laws
in CHICAGO lay with the city and fed

RESERVE ARMY
Of 4 MILLION
is PLANNED BY
GENERAL STAFF
Framework for Speedy Mobil-
ization of Huge Fighting
Force is Being Built
27 DIVISIONS PROPOSED
First Step in New Plan Will
Be Assignment of Al, 900
Reserve Officers

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81. - Com
prehensive plans for creation of the
organized reserve of the army on a
basis to permit quick mobilization OF
more than 100000 fighting men have
been prepared by efe general staff.
An outline of the preliminary steps
was made public today.
The scheme, which was developed
under authority of congress, contem-
plates virtually no expenditures in its
present stages, yet In the opinion OF
Major General Harboard, acting chief
of staff, would furnish frame work
for mobilization of the nation In
arms in a matter Of weeks.
Twenty seven infantry divisions of
the reserve are provided for. number.
ing from the 10th =; the 104th, pre-
serving both in number and geograph-
ical location where each originated.
the 16 national army divisions. The
same territorial distribution as to ar
mics and army corps areas is follow
ed as in the regular army organiza-
tion, and the structure of the nation
al guard The result will be to es-
tablish the three arms of the national
land defense forces on an identical
basis with control decentraliZed from
Washington for all three into the
hands of the corps area commanders.
The first step perfecting the organ
lied reserves will be to assign from
the present officers reserve corps to
the % reserve divisions, the full war
strength complement of officers, in
all more than $4,000. 1t is expected
this con be completed by July when
creation of the non-commissioned en-
listed personnel, involving the selec-
ton of many thousands of men and
their assignments to regiments, win
be undertaken
1t was pointed out that reorganiZ-
ed reserve can be employed only by
specific act of congress. At present,
there is no thought that the divisions
will ever be called out except in a
national emergency and the plans
were prepared only to prevent delays
and huge emergency expenditures In
mobilization. The active military
force remains the skeletonized regu-
lar army backed by the national guard
subject to constitutional limitations
as to its employment as the second
line of defense. and with the organic
ed reserve as the third and ultimate
line.
Officers believe it will give added
imDetus to the civilian training camps
and the reserve officers training corps
in schools and colleges to have def
iniate place for assignment for grad
yates in the skeleton reserve di-
visions.

Motion To Dismiss Arbuckle Case
Denied; Court To Rule Today On
What Charge Fatty Is 10 Be Tried
Defense Given Until O'Clock This Afternoon to Decide
Whether Not 1t Will Introduce Any Evidence;
More Spicy Testimony Given Hearing

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 81 = The
question whether Roscoe (Fatty) Ar
buckle will be tried in the superior
court for the murder of Miss Virginia
Rappe, or whether he will be held on
the lesser charge OF manslaughter,
will be decided tomorrow by police
Judge Sylvan Lazarus before whom
the film comedian has been examin'
ed on a murder accusation.
The prosecution suddenly closed its
case today without the testimony of
the complaining witness, Mrs. Bam-
bina belmont, saying ample evidence
already had been presented to war
rent holding for murder. The court,
although warning the district attor-
ney that he was running. the danger
of dismissal by not producing more
proof, practically removed all possi-
bility of such action by denying a de-
tense motion to dismiss and announc-
ing that he rarely failed TO hold de-
fendant to answer. AS to the particu-
lar charge, however, Judge Lazarus
said his mind was not yet made up.

reach a decision until that time whetl
er to avail, himself, of the opportunity.
Doninguez demanded an opportu-
nifty to prove Mrs. .Delmontis aecpsa-
tions against Arbuckle to be false
hoods but Judge Lazarus said the dis
trict attorney could not be compel
ed to put her on the stand, although
he regretted greatly that more proof
had not been given and the complain
ant examined.
District Attorney Matthew A. Brady
suggested that Dominguez himself
could call Mrs. belmont as witness,
but the defense attorney declined to
accept the suggestion.
Assistant District Attorney Isador
Golden said the district attorney was
not required to disclose more of its
case than enough to warrant a hold
ing for probable cause and to Domin-
guez replied that the issue was not
between Mrs. belmont and Arbuckle,
but between the people of California
and Arbuckle.

Absence of u. S. and Russia
In League is Deplored
By British Delegate

GENEVA, Sept. 27.-(By the Asso-

France and Great Britain were sum-
moned by Lord Robert Cecil, repre-
senting South Africa, today either to
present a, proposal for the reduction
of ornaments, if they had any. or
cease obstructing projects put for
ward by others. The committee on
disarmament of the League of Ma
tions, was discussing resolution pro
nosed by Lord Robert and Signor
Schanzer of Italy, which read:
THE assembly resolves that the
temporary fixed commission be asked
to make general proposals for the re-
ductfon of ornaments, which, to Sc
cure precision, should be in the form
of draft treaty or other equally def
mite plan to be presented to the coun
Gil, if possible, before the assembly
of next year"
H. A. L. Fisher, Great Britain, and
NJ. Reynald, France, opposed this res
olution because. they said. it was i'm
possible at present to enter into a
treaty with theS United States and
Russia The form of a treaty might
eventually be best, but it would be
better, they contended. to postpone
the resolution until next year.
Lord Robert Cecil insisted upon his
motion, saying it was vital to the
league and vital to the peace that
something be done. Disarmament
was the test case upon which the
league was to be tried.
Fisher said his attitude was not to
be taken as an indication that the
British government does not favor
a reduction of armament. Great Brit,
ain has reduced armaments and
would continue to do so, but it was
impossible for the league to make any
headway on a general plan for disar-
mament while there were important
states not ready for it.

SILVER REACHES
NEW HIGH POINT
Curtailment of Copper Out
put One Reason For Big
Advance in Quotations

NEW YORK, Sept. .27. - The price
of commercial bar silver reached a
new high point for the year today,
when it rose to 71% cents, an ad-
vance of cents over the closing quo
tation of Monday.
The advance is ascribed largely to
curtailment of copper production of
which silver is a by-product and the
absorption by the United States treas
ury Of the entire American silver pro-
duction.
Cable advices from London today
recorded a parallel advance ascribed
partly to steady buying in India for
the past several weeks and to new
orders from China.

THEIR ESTIMATES TOO LOW
Proof That Engineers Have Erred in
Their Figures Concerning the
Weight Of Crowds.

Interesting experiments were made
some time ago at Harvard university
which seem to demonstrate that en-
gineers usually underestimate the
maximum loading caused by dense
crowds on bridges, floors and plat
FORMS Forty men averaging 1853
pounds in weight placed in box six
feet square caused an average pres
sure of ISL pounds to the square foot
on the floor.
An engineer has estimated the
weight per square foot of the densest
crowds on the New York elevated rail-
ways at only 45 pounds. but since the
Harvard experiments the opinion has
been expressed that the maximum
loading on the elevated cars and plat
forms may be nearer ISL than As
pounds. This applies to other close
packed crowds.
