PLENTY OF LIQUOR
-. -, -, AT.ARBUCKLE PARTY
Continued from page one)

Rappe before her death.
: Mrs. belmont at the inquest said
she, Miss Rappe and AL Semnacher,
Miss Rappe's manager, drove to San
francisco from Los Angeles, leaving
Sunday night, September d. ,
While she and Miss Rappe were
eating breakfast the next day tele-
phone call was received that Mr..
Arbuckle wanted to see them all at
the San Francisco Hotel. Miss Rappe
went to .Arbuckle's room alone and
then telephoned for Mrs. belmont
and Semnacher to join here. There,
she testified, she met Arbuckle. Low
veil Sherman, Ira C. Fortlouis and
Frederick Fischback. There were
many bottles on the table in the
room. Miss Rappe had three drinks
Of gin and one orange juice and
Mrs. belmont had about ten drinks
of whiskey. Two more girls came in,
whom she learned later were Alice
Blake and Vey Pyvron.
The Rappe girl rose and went into
the bath room off Arbuekle's room.
When she came out Of the bath room
Arbuckle was in his-room. He closed
the door between his and the sitting
room, where the other members of
the party were. -
She heard screams coming from
the room about an hour later, she
said, and demanded that Arbuckle
open the door. He did so. The Rappe
girl was on the bed tearing at her
clothing and screaming.
''I am hurt. I am dying. He did
it." ,
She removed the girls clothing
and assisted by Fischback, placed
her in tub Of cold water. This had
no effect and so Miss Rappe was
taken to another room and put to
bed.
Arbuckle kept his eyes fixed on
the witness throughout her testi-
mony.
Mrs. belmont finished her testi-
mony at noon. Arbuckle took more
than usual interest when, toward the
close of the session Coroner, DR.. T.
B. W. Leland asked the witness:
"How do you happen to remem-
her what happened if you had had so
many drinks of whiskey?"
my memory is always good" she
answered.
When the inquest was resumed
this afternoon, Ira C. Fortlouis, a
salesman, took the stand. He testi-
fed that he was present at the party
but left before Arbuckle is supposed
to have gone into the room with
Miss Rappe.
Mr.. Semnacher. testified that he
attended the party after trying in
vain to induce Miss. Rappe to return
to Los Angeles. He was not present
he said during the alleged attack,
but came back later and saw Miss
Rappe on the bed apparently very
II.
semnacher also testified that he
visited Miss Rappe the day following
the party and she, said to him:
"Roscoe hurt me-"
He said he did not hear the
screaming testified to by Mrs. Del
mont and was surprised when he
heard the full details Of the party
from Mrs. belmont the next day.

COTTON UNDERWENT
 SHARP REACTIONS DURING DAYS SALES
February Closed Weak, With Later Months Net 1 Point
 Lower to 16 Point sHigher
By Associated Press

New York, January 26-The cotton mar ket was unsettled today, an early ad- vance being followed by sharp reactions, with partial recoveries at the close March contracts sold off from 14.72c to 1413c, closing at 14Sec- There were a few February notices and that delivery was relatively weak, closing at 1S,97c, pr IS points net lower, while later months were net l point lower to 16 points higher
 The market opened steady at decline of 20 points on February. but generally to Il points higher on relatively firm cables and reports of better spot de- mand in Liverpool There was some south ern selling, but offerings were well ab- sorbed by covering, and before the end of the morning active months sold S9 to 50 points above last nights closing fig ures, with May touching 1491c and July 15.14c Some continental trade buying was reported in the later months, and reports that, contrary to recent rumors, Czecho-Sloval,ian spinners were meeting January cotton payments served to en- courage the advance. Spot adyices were conflicting however. with some reports claiming an easier basis in the eastern
 belt, and there was continued March liquidation. This eased the market as soon as the earlier buying had been sup piled and prices broke SharplY durUS the early afternoon under Wall street, south ern and western selling. The latter was probably prompted by weakness in the grain market, but there was a better de- mand for cotton around 14.S0c for May and 14.56c for July Prices rallied in con sequence and last prices were about ~ to 25 points up from the lowest. Private cables from Liverpool reported the fail- ure of a small firm which was said to have had an open market interest oI about 1,5O0 bales supposedly short Ill I iverpool and long in New York. Local traders thought the covering of these contracts might have been partly re- sponsible for the advance in the English market.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York January 26.--(Specialo~- Recent sellers were buyers in Liver pool this morning and also bought here, causing an improvement. In the early afternoon heavy selling appeared, which was generally considered to be for large Wall street operator, who was long of the market. This liquida- tion was well taken, some of the most prominent sellers in the past few days being the principal buyers.
 The fact that the decline failed to bring any selling from the south was a very encouraging feature, as it shows that the weakly held cotton in the south has been sold on the recent ad vance to 16 cents. If the south is able to continue to bold the balance of the, crop and does not sell at pres ent prices, an improvement will even tualIy take place. as the contracts sold during the past few days have passed into the hands of the spinners,--Hub- bard Brothers & Co.,

EXPORT WHEAT FROM
 ARGENTINA CAUSES
 NEW SHARP DECLINES
Rs Associated Press

Chicago. January 26.-Possibility that as much as 100000 may be exported from Argentina without encountering surtax, led to sharp declines today in wheat prices here. The market closed heavy, 3A6t4c net lower, with March s1 63A a1 631s and May $l .53dp1 .53N Corn lost 246D1c, and oats 11sM1Ac. In pro- visions the outcome varied from 35c de- cline to 7c advance.
 Attention of wheat traders centered throughout the day on advices that it was probable no extra tax would be im- posed for a good while in Argentina and that meantime great quantity of wheat, free of such burden, was likely to be shipped to Europe. Denials that any im- portant export business between the United States and France had been done yesterday operated also as a depressing factor. Furthermore, aside from 2o,O0V bushels taken from Italy, export buying today was scanty and other support slight On the other hand, liquidation was general. Meagerness of domestic stocks of wheat and flour failed to stop price declines, and so, too, did predictions of big decrease of the visible supply o fwheat during February, March 'and April,
 Lowest prices yet this season were touched by future deliveries of corn ana oats Bears made much of the liberal receipts of corn and big stocks of oats. Provisions sagged with grain and hoss, but lard and ribs subsequently, displayed a little power to rally.

New Or1ean. cotton


 New Orleans. January 26,--W nile the cotton market showed pronounced strength in the early trading today It weakened later and lost all of its gains, although on the close it was steadler and last prices were at net gains Tor the session of 10 to 16 points. At the highest the active months were Al to A points over the close of yesterday and at the lowest they were one to seven points under. March traded up to 1426c and fell as low as l3I5c finally closing at 13.92c.
 The early strength was caused py the strength of Liverpool and by the rise in sterling exchange, but after it was explained that the gains in Liverpool were chiefly due to covering by shorts and no new bullish features of consequence developed, early buy CTS commenced to let go and in the early afternoon these offerings were not well received by the ring.
 Lowest levels were reached follow ing rumors that large operators were heavy sellers and claims of tighter money market. There were also re ports of disturbing nature about the calling of loans. For a while the mar : ket was soft, but in the last few min utes of the session it regained some of it's early steadiness.

 caSioned No Surprise E on Wall Street
Rx Associated Press

New York, January 8-Specialties con tinued to be favored by professional traders in today's stock market. scoring temporary advances, while former favor ftes were relegated to obscurity when not subjected to selling pressure. United States Steel, for years the leader of the market, made virtually no response to the publication of the corporations last quarterly report, and Chairman Gary's hopeful views, moving within fractional limits and closing at a slight loss.
 Speculative interests once more cen- tered in General Asphalt, common and preferred. these issues adding substan- tialy to their steady advance on re- ports that deal is impending for the acquisition of the company's properties in South America.
 Among the other firm to strong issues were Mexican Petroleum, Texas Pacific, coal and oil. Studebaker, International Paper and several of the tobacco, sugar and leather specialties, transcontinentais and coalers
 Maintenance of the 2 per cent rate for call money occasioned no surprise in view of the additional drain upon local bank resources due to federal with drawals. Quotations for time funds and commercial paper also stiffened on the reduced demand.
 There were further noteworthy up- ward movements in foreign exchange, British rates rising to highest quota titns since last July. Concurrent ao- varces were made by French and Bel- gian remittances. although these failed to attain their high levels of last Mon day Spanish and Scandinavian eenters were the only striking exceptions to the general advance, which included a-reduc- tion of the Canadian discount in this market

Sugar Market

By Associated Press
 New York, January 26.-The local mar Ret for raw sugar was quiet, and, while no business was reported, it was evident mat holders were more desirous to make eales under more liberal offerings, prices bokng easier. There were moderate quan- titles of Porto Ricos for prompt shipment offered at the equivalent of 3-lSc TOT Cubas, cost and freight, and it was thought that bids of 1-16c below this price would be accepted, while buyers were 'n- clined to hold off. The market closed nominal at 4nc to 3-l6c for Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 5.13c and 5.21c for centrifugal. The market for refined was unchanged at 75oc for fine granulated. The demand was light and rather dis appointing, with buyers rather cautious, owing to the unsettled feeling in the raw sugar market.
 The easier feeling the spot market led to more general selling in futures and prtcns broke rather sharply, closing ar declines of 2 to ? points Final bids: January. A15c; March, 419c; May, 'iS5c; 1uly, 4.50c
