Semnacher Accused Having
Conspired With Mrs. Del
mont Against Comedian
SUMMONED
Fatty's Legal Advisors Are
Directed to Inform Grand
Jury of Their Charges

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. &c. - An
assertion in court today by Roscoe c.
(Fatty) Arbuckles chief counsel,
Frank DomingueZ, that he believed
blackInail had been contemplated
against the film comedian and that
this motive figureer in the defendants
arrest on a murder charge, was or
dered put before the grand jury to-
night by District attorney Mathew A.
Brady.
Brady issued sunpoenas for Domin-
guez and his associate counsel,
Charles H. Brennan. of San Francisco,
and Milton NJ. Cohen of Los Angeles,
to appear at tonight's grand jury ses-
sion and repeat their charges.
The action was taken, Brady said.
on the request of Alfred Semnacher,
who was accused by Dominguezs to-
day of having conspired with Mrs.
Banbina belmont, the complaining
witness against Arbuckle,. to take torn
parts of the clothing of Miss Virginia
Rappe to Los Angeles for the purpose
o. extorting money from the defend
ant, who is charged with the murder
of Miss Rappe.
Backs Up Assertions
DomingueZ made his assertion aft
er long questioning of Semnacher re-
garding his previous testimony in the
case. Dominguez declared that pre-
vious conduct Of Mrs. belmont in Los
Angeles, where he said, she made
claims against man named Ear
Lynn. lent color to his accusation.
Police Judge Lazarus before whom
the hearing is being held, refused, how
ever, to allow DomingueZ 10 question
Semnacher along this line, saying 1t
had no part in the present proceed
ings.
Semnacher's testimony took uI
most of the afternoon session. In the
morning, DR.. Arthur Beardslee, house
physician at the Hotel St. Francis
who treated Miss Rape after the rev
ell in Arbuckle's suite, out OF which
the murder charge grew, testified he
discovered evidence of a ruptured
bladder early the morning after the
party and that he advised her removal
TO hospital.
The defense was unable to make
him admit that she could have been
suffering from anything else. DR..
Beardslee stuck to his diagnosis and
said he found her writhing in pain
when he was called in after the party,
the pain being SO great he had to ad.
ministed sedatives three times in the

Replying to hypothetical question
regarding the cause of a torn bladder
he said an injury such as that de
scribed by the prosecution probably
would have been caused by an exter
nal force such as fall or blow, al

vomiting might have produced that eff

shadowed by Miss Happe's sufferings

Mention of Poison is Injected
Into Case For First Time
By Counsel For Defense

TWIN FALLS, Idaho, Sept. &c. -
Mention of poison for the first time
was injected into the case of the state
against LYDIA Meyer Southard. charg-
ed with the murder of her fourth hus-
band, Edward F. Meyer, which opened
in district court here today, in the
examination of a prospective juror by
William p Guthrie, chief counsel for
the defense at late hour this after
noon.
Attorney Guthrie drew from the
talesman the statement that he had
formed no definite opinion as to the
guilt or innocence of the accused, that
his mind was free of bias and that
the state must prove its case beyond
a reasonable doubt in order to obtain
a verdict of guilty. Then came the
question: Would you require the
state to prove beyond a reasonable
doubt that poison was found in the
body of Edward F. Meyer and that
such poison was administered by the
defendant with intent to cause
death?"
There was a noticeable silence as
the talesman answered that he
would.
The entire days session was taken
up with the examination of prospec
tive jurymen and at the conclusion o.
the hearing. about half of the pane
of 75 remained for examination

CONSERVATIVES
ATTEMP TING To
STOP WALK-0UT
Union Leaders Confident All
Organizations Will Turn
Down Wage Reductions
ACCEPTANCE Is URGED
Lee Advises Employees They
Should Take Lowering of
Wages Without Fight

CHICAGO, Sept 26.-(By the Asso
ciated Press)-Leaders of the Big
Four brotherhoods and affiliated rail
road unions tonight declared they had
little doubt that the railway employees
had voted for a general strike rather
than accept a wage reduction. but an
nounced that the conservation coun-
sci of the leaders might prevail
against walkout.
General chairmen of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen began
counting the $4,000 strike ballots OF
their men, but admitted at the start
that, judging from the known temper
of the men. the result will be over
whelmingly for strike. Pressed for
an estimate as to what that majority
might be. Vice President James Muir
dock said:
out past experience has been that
9S per cent of the men will always
vote to strike
Next Monday officials Of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers Or
der of Railway Conductors, Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
@ineers and Switchmen's Union oi
North America will meet to count the
vote OF their 259,OOO members. Rail
road union leaders here expect all
the brotherhoods and the switchmen's
union to cast substantial majorities
Tor a strike. The affiliated shop
crafts have already voted by approx
imately 325.000 to $4,000 to walk out
and are only waiting to see what ac
tion the other unions take and for
the railroad labor board to dispose OF
the pending working rules agree
ments.
Reports of the general chairmen oi
the trainmen when they assembled
today were disappointing to the union
leaders. The trainmen had voted or
a separate ballot because their lead
ers did not approve of the joint ballot
rerared by the other unions. On
September IL, President w. G. Lee
who has been ill at Cleveland, ad
dressed a letter to the men, who were
in the midst of the balloting, in which
he pointed out reasons why ht
thought a strike would be unwise a
this time and why the men might ex
pect to accept some wage reduction.
He asked the men to consider the
fact that wages and working condi
tlons OF all classes established since
y91S were result of the world war
that 100000 men are employed, tina
nearly all classes of labor have heer
forced to accept reduced rates or pa.
during the past year." that the in
creased wages granted railroad mel
last year were based on increased
cost OF living. and that government
reports indicate 16 per cent cut il
living costs since July l. 1920.
The strike vote, union official
pointed out, does not necessaril
mean the Immediate calling of
strike. The question as submitted I
the men carried vote for or agains
"a strike unless the wage reduction
question can be settled in q manne

AS ludicrous, perhaps, as an old misconcep-
ton some skeptica folks used to have about
advertising.
There time when some advertisements
had to be taken with grain of salt. A few
misguided advertisers thought they could sell
their goods better by >misrepresenting them.
Those advertisers have long since gone out of
business or mended their ways. Hard experience
taught that untruthful advertising didn't pay.
Other advertisers proved that the only way
to advertise successfully make regular custom
ers and build up good will to tell the abso-
lutte truth about their goods in their advertise
ments.
You can depend on the merchant
facturer who advertses. The concern that tells
you frankly what it is doing is good concern
with which to do business. The store that ad-
vertises is progressive store that has something
really worth while to say to you. And COM
panies that advertise their products their
vice have confidence in them. You can safely
share their confidence.
Inferior merchandise cannot masquerade in
the quality clothes of advertising
