San Francisco, Sept 27.-Roscoe, CFatty) Arbuck1e, falstan of the movies, today was to face the three women on whom the state relies to hold him for the alleged murder of Virginia Rappe, film actress, who died after attending Arbuckle's gay Labor Day party
 to the complaint on which the pre- Hninary hearing is now being held, Miss Alice Blake and Miss Zeh Pre- won were scheduled to appear on the stand in the order named.
 Coincident with the opening of the fifth day of the hearing, the plans of the defense by which they expect to acquit the fat funny man Of the screen. were heard. These plans ap- parent1y contemplate a three fold at tack on the states case:
 1. The charges against Arbuck1e are the result of a frame up"
 g. Miss Rappe died either from natural causes or as result of med1- cal treatment accorded her.
 3. Vigorous attempt is to be made to discredft the states witnesses. particularly Al Semnacher and Mrs Delmont-

 The extortion charge has been dis posed of. it5 was fntimated today by action of the San Francisco jury, which last night heard Sennacher's s s,71 sernacher denied to the grand jury that he had any knoweldge of a plan to extort money from the defendant as was alleged by Frank Dominguez, chief counsel for Arbuckle.

Beach Has Made Record
 For Season

At meeting between the officers of the Pleasure Beach Go. and represen- tatives of the Park Board last even- ing, the Pleasure Beach Go. submit ted in writing their report together with a check for the past year as re- quired by the lease. This lease, which comprehends the understand ing between the operating company and the city for a period of ten years contains three important require ments
 First: That they shall pay their rent between September 1st and Oc-
 Second: That they shall submit a sworn audited statement of their expenditures.
 Third: That they shall have con ducted the amusement park as to its m mora1e to the satisfaction of the Board of Park Commissioners
 All of which have been compiled with.
 The Park Board feel that this company is entitled to the credit ot having rendered the city a great ser vice in what they have accomplished on the island for the first year. Those not familiar with the subject may not realize the difficult problems which they have had to overcome in SC short a period of time, particularly those relating to docks, ferry boats dredging the sand bars to land at the Island, bringing an eight inch water main under the Gut channel and the whole length of the Island; the estab- Iishment of fire hydrants and the other equipment for fire protection; the very heavy expense for cables and other electrical equipment fol lighting and power; and besides the many amusement devices the splendid dance hall with a floor of 22.0Oc square feet, believed to be the 1argest in the country.
 Amusement parks throughout the country felt the industrial depression but it is gratifying to be informed that Pleasure Beach stood second from high mark for attendance and natronaee and looks forward to g very successful season next year. The officers of the company feel that they are entitled to consideration ir the way of fire ana ponce protection which seems fair in view of the faN that they have become a regularly es ta abifshed institution of the city. ant 1 cnr,sfdera lhle taXpaYerS.

Apportion
 Out Estate
 Of Caruso

. Milan, Italy, Sept 27-The heirs of Enrico Caruso, noted tenor, who have been meeting at Florence, inventoring the fortune garnered. in America by the famous singer today estimated that CaruSo'S Italian fortune would amount te thirty million lire or S1,245,000 at the present law rate of Italian exchange. In addition, there is an annual income of $2eO,0oO from the Victor Talking Machine Company but this sum may be compromised since CaruSo only produced 25 song discs on his contract, which called for 40 recorded songs.
 The Caruso heirs decided to divide the fortune into two equal portions, one half going to Caruso's infant daughter Gloria, who was not provid- ed for in the will, and the other half being equally divided among the widow, Caruso's two sons by a former marriage, and a brother of the late singer.

Conference TOFirst
 Attempt To Settle Number JObless
Recognized Five ''Key" In dustries W h ere Unem- ployment is Most Preval- ent-Separate Committee For Each One.

Washington, Sept 27. The national unemployment conference settled down today to dig from a mass of conflicting estimates and figures an accurate estimate of just how many bread winners there are in the United States out of work.
 This must be determined with more or less accuracy before the con ference can even approach the sterner task of providing jobs for those now out of work.
 The problem of ascertaining the extent of unemployment is, in itself. no small one. Estimates run all the way from one million. five hundred thousand to 100000, depending upon the source of the figures.
 The nearest approach to official figures were supplied by Secretary of Labor Davis. who estimated that there were approximately over 5000, 900 out of work, but this num- Der, he cautioned, must not be taken too alarmingly, as probably not more than half, or two million, five hum dred thousand. are the bread winners of families.
 The conference itself was split up today into a dozen small units. While the committee on unemployment sta tistics, headed by Harry N. Robinson, of Los Angeles, sought to obtain an estimate of the actual number out of work other committees were meet ing to discuss emergency measures for relief
 The conference has recognized five ma jor or ''key'' industries where un- employment is most prevalent There are manufacturing, construction, transportation mining and shipping. A sepaarte cominttee will deal with each auth ority soon as the StatlS- tics committee can bring forth some basic figures on which to build plans for relief.
 The organized labor delegates in the conference are frankly somewhat suspicious of the whole proceedings
