MAYOR BARS
 FILMS THAT
 SHOW FATTY

Medford, Mass, Sept. 12-Mayor D. IF. Haines of the city, today issued an order, barring exhibitions of motion pictures in which Fatty Arbuckle appears.
 q believe it against public morals to show Arbuckle as hero, while so serious charge is pending against him., declared the mayor, in issuins- his order to local managers.
 New York. Sept. 12-The notoriety occasioned by the death of Miss Virginia Rappe and the arrest of Fatty Arbuckle, on a charge of murder, aroused interest today along Broadway, as to what effect the case would have regarding exhibition of films in which Arbuckle is starred.
 The Capitol, which is one of the largest movie theatres in the world, authorized this statement:
 "We wouldn't touch his pictures now. The public would not come to see his pictures if exhibited.''
 Marcus Loew, owner of 300 motion picture theaters, said he believed Ar buckle to be innocent. "I can't be- lieve that Arbuck1e was guilty of any such crime,'' he said. 'I know the man." My attitude is that he is in nocent until proven guilty and no ac- tion will be taken to restrict the showing of ArbuckIe films on any of my theatres

WESTCHESTER CONTRACTORS
 SEEK WORKERS

Why all the talk about unenaploy- ment? That is the question that contractors and builders in the lower part of WeStchester are asking, be- cause they have been looking all over the labor market for months for plasterers, fathers, bricklayers, and a number of other types of workmen without having been able to fill the vacancies. It appears that a great deal of construction work is going on down there, in fact more than the contractors can handle. This morn ing Mayor Wilson received letters from prominent contractors in Bronx vile and Mount Vernon suggesting that unemployed men in this city who can qualify for the jobs might find it profitable to come to their cities
 According to William c. Sterner, president of Building Trades Elm p1oyers' Association of Mount Vernon, there is no labor trouble in that sec tfon at present. A strike which had been in progress for long time was settled in June and all classes of workers accepted the award made by the arbitration committee with the exception of the fathers, many of whom are now at work, but who still claim more pay.
 The rates of pay generally in eff feet throughout Westchester are So a day for pfasterers (of whom there IS the greatest Shortage), brick1ayeS ana masons. Lathers, plumbers trimmers, and filters get ss per day, nod carriers s6. and 1aborers s4so Carpenters in certain sections are in the greatest demand
 Advertisements in the local papers here for men did not bring any re- suit said the builders, and probably to the fact that most men hesitate to make a trip because they are afraid that the work will only be of a temporary nature. Permanent jobs are offered, however according to fhe statements. and it is further said that the builders have made arrangements to house the laborers who may come from out of town
 The builders said that they were not making an attempt to take men away from Bridgeport industries by offering special inducements but that they knew that there was a great deal of unemployment here and that they thought it would be a good thing to have some of the sur plus labor tranSplanted

OPEN FIGHT OF WITS, CASHANDXVFTUEZVCE
 TO SA VE ARBUCKLE
.FIANCE OF DEAD
 GIRL ASKS JUSTICE

New York, Sept 12 - ~Oh. good God, give justice" was the prayer that went up today from the lips Of Henry Lehrman, motion picture pro ducer and fancee of Miss Virginia Rappe, for whose alleged murder Fatty Arbuckle. film comedian, is held in San Francisco.
 Lehrman formerly directed Ar buckle as a film actor.
 "I do not want to face Arbuckle now. I would kill him." Lehman better be punished"
 Lehrman was bitter.
 This is what comes of taking vul- gar men from the gutter and glVlnS them enormous salaries and making idols of them. Arbuckle came into the pictures nine years ago. He was a barber in a San Francisco saloon. He washed the dishes and cleaned the spittoons-
 "Such people don't know how to beastly way.''
 Despite his weight, Arbuckle was a powerful man,C' Lehrman said I remember a few years ago when we Mexico, he weighed BIO pounds He entered a 100-yard dash against Mexican athletics. They laughted at his entry: oI5 He beat the them aoaa,nan,sd all; Miss Rappe to Arbuckle's suite in the St. Francis hotel, at San Francisco, has had several phone talks with me. She said
 MT. Arbuckle telephoned Miss Rappe to come to see him on busi- ness. She distrusted him and said that she was alone. We had a few drinks, when he 1eaped up and seiz- ed her, carried her into another room and locked the door. pounded on struggle and scream After a quar- ter of an hour, she gave a terrible scream. threatened to telephone the office of the hotel and Arbuckle opened the door. Every bit of Miss Rappe's clothing had been torn. She was unconscious.
 Lehrman said that Miss Rappe al- ways had an aversion for Arbuckle, but that when he managed Arbuckle he had advised him to treat him pleasantly, but that Miss Rappe re- piled:
 seates me. He is cheap and he thinks> he Is funny"
 'I can see now, in my minds eye how she must have fought him like a tiger. remember once, when there was terrible assault case in the pa pers, she said:
 Henry, if any one ever tried to do thing like that to me. he'd have to kill mel
 Well, she's dead"
 Lehrman said when he Arst heard Miss Rappe was i'll and not knowing she had been assaulted, he had wired Arbuck1e to go to her on his bshalt and see that she was properly cared for.
 "I never suspected that beast that he was, he would lay a finger on her. said Lehrman.
 Lehman said he would go west as soon as possible and permission from the authorities could be obtain ed to bury his sweetheart's body. He said interment would be made at Los Angeles
 Miss Rappe had been in moving pictures four years" Lehrman went on She was born in New York and brought up in Chicago. She was never ill. She always held herself a1oof from the vulgar bunch in pic- tures- She was a clean, decent high spirited girl. And to think she had to die like thati Arbuckle has powerful friends Much money and influence will he used to save him. But he will have me to reckon with l When he is alone in his cell and | realizes the situation he is in. ex pect to see him collapse"
