ARRUCKLE ON TRIAL
FOR MANSLAUCHTER
Trial Is Expected to Delve
Deeply Into Stories of Life
in Hollywood
BY M. D. Tracy

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
San Francisco, Nov. 14.-Roscoe
(Fattv) Arbuckle watched the curtain
ring up today on the decisive act o.
the first great tragedy of his life %
The big comedian, whose fame as
thrower of custard pies was rivaled
only by his fame as thrower of gay
parties, went to trial this morning,
charged with having caused the, death
of Virginia Rape, former Chicago,
model, showgirl Of New York and
comedienne of the Henry Lehman
movie comedies. -, 4 %a'
Manslaughter, with possibility OF
ten years in prison as a penalty, was
the charge against him. Originally, 1T
had been murder, but at the prellmln-
ary examination the charge had been
reduced to the lesser crime. " 80 .
The little courtroom, designed to
hold perhaps hundred spectators,
had hardly room enough for the army
of layers, court attaches, newspaper
men and prospective jurors, gathered
to play their major or minor parts
in the drama of which the once roll
licking, funny man was the center.
Police guarded every door, and, the
corridors Of the hail of justice in
which the, courtroom was located.
Admittance was by card only-and
few were the cards obtainable. Off
GERS studded the space set aside for
spectators, to guard against any possi-
bic demonstration. .
For few trials have the scenessbeen
more carefully set. ' EMS !
Attorneys defending Arbuckle, and
the prosecution as we'll, admitted they
were prepared for long, hard battle.
The half million dollar fortune Of the
comedian was at the disposal Of the
defense. Fatty realized that on this
drama his career depends. e. -.
"We are ready to throw every pow
er at our command into this battle to
show to the world that womanhood
must be honored," declared District
Attorney Mathew Brady, heading the
persecution. .s..'., ,.l.r.. ;,
Attorneys agreed that there would
be difficulty in securing jury. The
"Arbuckle case" for two months has
been the gossip of the streets, of tie
parlors and Of the backyards fences
in San Francisco. 1t would seem that
every one knows of the case IL de-
tail-and has a pretty good hhunch
whether Fatty is guilty. or innocent.
Sentiment, at first apparently
strong against the comedian, softened
towards him during the preliminary
hearing. and now, Arbuckle does not
stand without his friends in the CON
4 munity which will try him for crime
close approaching murder. Ss&#
1 y The trial is expected to delves deep
" into the stories of gay life in Holly
I wood, that part of Los Angeles where
1.-THE motion picture industry centers,
and where the big stars and little sat
elites, the magnates and the extra
girls all live. A. a..., - i:
District Attorney Brady has visited

him information gathered by himself
by District Attorney Thomas Lee

the monotony of the daily routine OF

Boil five eggs for twenty minutes,
throw them into cold water and when
cold remove the shells and chop the
whites very fine and rub the yolks
through a sieve. DO not mix the
whites and yolks Put one cup OF
milk in a double boiler to boil, rub
one-half tablespoonful of butter and
one tablespoonful of cornstarch to-
gether and add them to the boiling
milk. Stir until creamy, add the
whites of the eggs and salt, pepper
and one-half tablespoonful of butter.
Wet the edges of six squares of toast,
butter them lightly and place on a
warm dish. Cover the slices with the
white sauce, apportioning it evenly to
each of the six slices. Sprinkle the
strained yolks in little heaps upon the
tops and serve at once, after sitting
on little salt and pepper.

this daring feat.

Eighteenth century, according to the
chronicles of the cathedral, German

Moreover, at that time there was no
lightning rod running up the side to
aid in the ascent.

Hear Heart Yards Away.

An simplifying apparatus described
as so delicatAas to permit physician
in one city to make a stethoscopic
study OF the heart action of a patient
hundreds of miles away, was demon
strated to a group of army and civil
ian medical men ut the army signal
corps laboratories at Washington. The
principle involved is similar to that
used in transmitting President Hard
ing's inaugural address.
The demonstration was directed by
Brig. Gen. George Squier. chief signal
officer. The stethoscopic apparatus,
with electrical connection, was placed
over the heart of one of the laboratory
assistants and the heart beat was am
plified many thousands of times,
emerging from monograph horn and
heard distinctly and studied by the
physicians in a room some distance
from that in which the subject was
located.

Making of a Language.

That the slang and idioms of today
will be correct English tomorrow is
the opinion of Prof. II. Glicksman OF
the English department. University of
Wisconsin. "Our language is made up
of what was once slang, idiom. col
loquialism and jargon," he said lately.
and warned that the only deplorable
feature about slang was its tendency
10 produce mental slovenliness. Pro
fessor Glicksman then referred TO the
word "mob" as slang of 200 years ago
and as such denounced in the "Spec-
tator" by Addison. 1T is an abbrevi-
alton of the word mobile Even so
the word pep is vital and virile and
will survive with the word 'snappy.
But to gain recognition slang must be
free from vulgarity and cheapness, =
said Professor Glicksman.

FEAR LOSS OF ELK HERDS
Animals in Yellowstone Park Are Rap
idly Disappearing, According to
Official Reports.

Officials OF the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture are alarmed
over the threatened determination of
the Elk herd In Yellowstone park. On
the ranges of the park, where ordi-
narily thousands of these animals
could be seen. only very few have
been observed this winter. Several
theories have been offered TO account
for the marked sbrinkage In the herd.
Among these is the probability that
the majority died from natural causes
or had been killed during the last
year. Another is that the open fan
and winter caused the elk TO remain In
hiding in some retreat deep in the
mountains and in the higher and more
Inaccessible portions OF the park.
Open fails in the past, however, have
not caused the elk 10 abandon their
usual customs and habits.
That there has been an alarming
shrlnkage in the Yellowstone herd dur
ing the last five years is an estab-
lished fact, according TO figures sup
piled by the Department of Agricul-
ture In 1914 it was estimated at
about $4,000; in 1917, 1880 were
counted, and, If the figures for the
present year, estimated by those close
in touch with the situation, are true,
there remains much less than half this
number. In 1919, $500 head were
killed in the.Yellowstone band, the SUI
pervisor of the Absaroka national
forest reports.
The Department of Agriculture
points out that no herd of wild ami
mails can sustain an annual shrink
age in numbers for any length of time
and not face complete determination
within n few years.

ELECTION vs., COERCION

Former Emperor Carl of the
onc-time Austria-Hungary EN-
pre- is no. having as easy sailing
in his attempt to regain the
throne as did Constantine, whose
return to power in Greece seems
to have been his inspiration,
There is fundamental differ
encc between the two cases. In
Greece the claims OF the ex-king
were referred to the electorate.
Constantine came back by invita-
ton. There was a case of popular
choice of a sovereign. Though
the great powers objected and
could refuse assistance to the de
spiscd government OF Greece.
they could not knock the crown
off Constantine's head without
doing violence TO the principle OF
freedom of choice OF peoples as
TO their own government.
Carls position is that OF usur-
per. although before the armistice
he was the lawful king. There

The danger is that the rescuers

ton OF genuine peace in Eastern
Europe would be put far into the
future.

TIE PASSING OF THE CIRCUS
PARADE

NO more will the circus parade
take its gay and majestic way
through the streets Of Annapolis
or some ten thousand other Am
erican cities. This doIorous an
nouncement comes from Ringing
Brothers and Barnum and Bailey.
and is based on such a sordid con
sideration as this-thc parade
does not pay. The excitement
when the cars unload at the sid
ing; the gradual but systematic
forming of the line of march; the
gaudy wagons; the bright cos
tunes; the princely horses; the
Wild animals the beauteous
ladies'; the elephants; the clowns
they will appear no more upon
the thoroughfare.
OF course. the circus remains,
the pink lemonade and the pea
nuts have not deserted us. The
side shows, the fat lady. the hui
man skeleton and the wild man
from Borneo,-they at least are
faithful But the circus trust had
discovered that towns where
there is no parade draw better at
tendance inside the big tent than
those in which the street show
IS given. Maybe so, but. looking
backward TO those happiest days
childhood, who can ever for
pet the Incompatible thrill of the
parade. 1t was always the big
thing for us, both by way of an
ticipation and realization. The
calliope music was the best ever
heard anywhere; what it lacked
in perfect melody being more
than made up for in its irresisti-
bic suggestion of the joys it her
aided on the tented grounds.
Now we shall hear it no more.
Let us not feel too badly about
it, however, but just sigh as we
always did when the parade was
ended and wished we had ticket
for the circus itself.
