KIPLING'S SON AMONG
VANISHED IN WAR
Younu Soldier Known {, Have Started
For Near East Where All
Trace Was Lost

Ringhamton. N. Y, Nov. 2S.--John
Kipling, son of Rudyard kiplng, VINO
has immortalized the British Tommy
N verse and story, has finally been
listed among those thousands cI sol
ers who vanished in the war without
Leaving a clew as to their fate. This
was announced here yesterday by
Charles NJ. Dickinson, former Consul
General at ConstantInople who for
several years has been searching the
Near East for trace Of the young British
soldier Until shortly before Nj. Dick
inson began his search the last word
of the authors son had been in Octo-
ber. 1915 when he was reported wound
ed and missing in northern france.
He was only eighteen when he fHtered
the army.
It was learned, however, that young
Kipling was on British vessel bound
for the Dardanelles, and he was
thought TO have reached the Gallipoli
Peninsula, where some Of the tiercest
fighting of the war took place. Here,
MIR. Dickinson took up the search on
the theory that Kipling might have
been captured by the Turks. He Is ac-
quainted with the Turkish leaders,
through his successful efforts twenty
years ago to obtain the release Of Miss
Stone, who had been captured by
bandits.
Mr.. Dickinson has become convinced
Kipling is no longer alive, after thor
ough investigation by mail aud special
messengers. John Kipling's name does
not appear anywhere in the lists Of the
English dead, and he will now be Of
flcially recorded as among those unac-
counted for.

EXPECT ARBUCKLE TO
TELL HIS OWN STORY
MovIe Comedian Charged with Man,
slaughter Determined to Be
Witness in Own Behalf.

San francisco, Nov. 2S.-"Fattyp
Arbuckle has convinced his attorneys
that he should be permitted to 60 on
the stand and testify in his own de-
Tense, and they have. announced that
he would be called today or Tuesday.
He will give his own version Of what
happened In Room 1919 at the st.
Francis Hotel. from which Virginia
Rappe was carried In dying condi-
tor.
Arbuckle has been warned by his
counsel that the prosecution will sub.
jeet him to mercless grilling, and
his appearance on the stand will open
the field to questions regarding other
parties in which he appeared as guest
or host, but he is determined to tell
the jury and the world his story OF
Miss Rappe's death.
He has had no opportunity hitherto
to tell his story. He did not testify
at the police court hearing at VIII ch
the charge was changed from murder
to manslaughter, and, aside from
general denial of any completely In
the death OF Miss Rappe, made to
newspaper men, he had not been
heard. Now he wants his side OF the
story made public and insists that
he is best qualified to tell it, He viii
be the fnal witness for the defense.
The defense will summon Ignatlus
Mccarthy. a fingerprint expert, to at
tempt to disproye the testimony CIV
en- by e. o. Heinrich fingerprint ex-
pert for the state, who said he found
and photographed hand and finger
prints o. Miss Rape and Arbuckle
on the door Of Room 1919, and that II
appeared Arbuckles hand was over
that Of Miss Rappe. This eyamina-
ton was made twelve days after the
tragedy and the defense coatends
the doors are cleaned every day and
that no prints could have remained
ithat long. A chambermaid whose
duty It is to clean the doors and other
woodwork, daily, has testified that she
washed and brushed this particular
door frequently.
The defense also plans to recall
Miss Zey Provost and AL Semnacher
who were witnesses for the state. An
attempt win made to show that Miss
Provost was kept in custody BY the
state for a period Of six weeks, and
lthat she was subjected 70 threats ot
imprisonment unless she testified 90
Things the state insisted she had
knowledge Of
Miss Alice Blake, a motion picture
actress, also may be recalled, a.
though the purpose OF hearing her
again is. not made clear. She was
valuable witness for the prosecution.
Depositions taken in Chicago from
doctors and nurses who attended Miss
Rappe will be read into the record.
1t is understood the burden of this
testimony is TO the effect that the
eirl had long been sufferer from
chronic bladder trouble and was IN
such condition that sudden jar or q
fall might result in rupture. Tne
prosecution is in readiness for the
testimony with dispositions from a
number of people who knew Miss
Rappe all her life and viii TESTIFY
she was in perfect health.
Unless the prosecution consumes
considerable time in It's cross.exami'

will be severe and may uncover new
leads, it is thought the case Will so
