Flashes From
the Courtroom

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Nov. III
Royalty, far different than the motion
picture kind, is figuring In the ArbuckIe
trial here.
This time it is in person of a young
Italian Prince aboard the italian cruiser
now at anchor in San Francisco Bay.
His highness comes into the courtroom
absolutely incOgnitO. Only one person in
the hall OF justice knows his name. He
is the big cOrpulent policeman under or
ders to hold and reserve seating space
for the distinguished visitor.
The World Wnr has extended its rami-
ficatiOns into the trial. Assistant District
Attorney Milton U'Ren characterized in q
hot objection an attack by Defense COun-
sci McNcb, on State witnesses as poison
gas"
Fred KrugIer, married thirty three
years, drew "Fatty's" first r2al laugh
since his arrest when he told the court
he did not pretend to know his wife's
mind.
Such is fate. Listening to the ques-
tiOning of jurymen Fatty" learned that
three of the talesmen had never seen
him on the This brought the
score for the trial to four.
A new face has made it's appearance
on Arbuckle row. Tho owner is no less
a parsonage than "Fatty's" ''Iittle" sis

Al st. John, stage comedian. Mrs. st.
John is not at all inclined toward sylph-
like sIenderness. She Is quite a match,

Great Britain looks to the United States

must come forth with a specific state
ment Of what she wants Britain and
Japan, 10 do and how. From the most

Great Britain wants TO please the

are nonpluesed as to how to proceed
They insist America must speak first.
They are ready to agree TO Chinas pro-
posal for a restored sovereignty or for Il
convenient avenue of approach to the
problem, but they await an expression by
Secretary Hughes.
Great Britain does not insist on a re-
Dewal of the AnglO-Japanese alliance. As
matter of practical effect, British
statesmen regarded the alliance as the
merest scrap of paper; it is they argue
just a symbol OF common purpose and
friendship. 1t can not, therefore, be
ditched without seeming an affront to
japanese pride Britain will not indulge
in any such pastiming with the feeling of
the people who have proved themselves
such loyal friends in peace and allies in
war.
Formal announcement was made of the
British desire for a larger understand
ing" as a substitute for the AnglO-Japa-
nese alliance. England does not insist
on a written pact. treaty ra- covenant

Expect to Begin Taking
Testimony in Arbuckle
Manslaughter Trial Soon

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17.-Eleven
Jurors who will try Roscoe (Fatty) Ar
buckle for manslaughter in connection
with the death Of Virginia Rape, were
selected today.
Taking of testimony was expected to
begin late today.
Three women remained among the
eleven so far selected. but 1t was ex
peCted the State would challenge the Sc
lection of one of them.
Mrs. Laura Miller, San Francisco club
leader and member of the womans viGi-
liant committee, issued warning to the
club women of the city not to discuss
the Arbuckle case. Mrs. Miller has been
acting as official observer for the club
women at the trial to see that justice Is
done"
Two women were among those chal
lenged-one by the prosecution and one
by the defense. The woman challenged
by the defense was the only one who had
never seen Arbuckle in the movies
FATTY began 10 smile again as 1t be-
came apparent that the tactics of his
counsel, Gavin McNab. were making a
good impression ard lad forced District
Attorney Matthew Brady and his staff on
the defensive.
There was every indication that much
the same procedure that was followed in
the preliminary hearing will mark the
putting in" of the States case. DR..
Shelby Strange, autopsy surgeon, will be
the first witness called following District
Attorney Mathew Bradys opening state
ment to the jury. He will establish the
corpus delectI and the manner in
which Virginia Rappe is believed, as
result of his autopsy, to have come to
her death.
Other medical testimony will be heard.
Zey Prevon and Alice Blake will tell their
stories of what happened at the party.

FAR EASTERN
PUZZLE, CRUX
OF SITUATION
London Daily Times
Man Outlines Posi-
BILE Solution.
HANDS OFF CHINA
Lack of Clean Cut Plan
Felt at Confer
enco.
BY H. WILSON HARRIS,

Diplomatic Correspondent of London
Daily Times.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Public
acceptance of the American disarma-
ment proposals by Britain and Japan
enables the Washington conference
once more to be viewed as a whole.
Some anxiety is being expressed here
as to the course of Far Eastern dis
cussions. Expectations of another
spectacular statement here are not
likely to be fulfilled. all indications
being that that subject will be well
explored in committee before heinG
brought into public at all.
The fact is that no party to the con
ference has a clear-cut plan to PROFOUND,
though both America and Britain are
credited with fairly definite ideas on Ger
tain points.
Matters on which action may be looked
for are the following:
l. RetrOcession to China of terri
tories at present held by Japan, Brit
ain and France.
>. Abolition of spheres of influence
generally.
3. Withdrawal of the veto on the
increase of customs duties.
L. Remission OF the remaining in
staIImcnt of the Boxer indemnity.
The question of the abolition of extra
territoriality is not likely to be raised
nor change Of the political status OF
Korea
,f~4v. FHnr l.
tLte something OF the Far Eastern pro-
giam. but they do not, of course, touch
the question Of whether any such in
stitution as a concert of the Pacific pow
ers could or should be devised. AS to
that. there seems to be a general feel
ing at present that the existing con
sortiums must be taken as basis of
joint action; at any rate, so far as China
Is concerned.
This survey Is based upon conversations
with some of the soundest Far Eastern
authorities in Washington. But, Of course,
committee discussions cannot be pre-
dicted.
HUGHES WATCHES
PUBLIC OPINION.
One factor in the situation is Amer
lean public opinion which Secretary
Hughes, it may be assumed, is watching
closely.
There is no need to challenge the judg
ment which has focused attention first
on the comparatively straight forward
problem and left aside for the moment
the more exacting task of working out
Chinn's destInieg But it would be fatal
to encourage the opinion, supcrfcially so
plausible that disarmament is the big
thing. and the Far Eastern settlement
something secondary.
The delegates arc in no illusion about
this, but there is some danger that the
publc-and particularly the Senate which
possibly may have treaties concerning
both questions before it-might take short
views instead of long views-Copyright,

Bryan Sees Secret Diplomacy
Jared Off It's
Throne.
BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.

WARRINGTON, Nov. 17-Only two
sessions so far, and yet they prove the
incalculable benefit of open public dis
cussion.
Suppose Secretary Hughes had made
his proposal at a secret council and then
waited for confidential reply from other
nations-how different the situation
would be!
The delegates would be involved in

eral nations baild big navies the biggest
navy of all becomes an unbearable

JAPAN GIVEN CHANCE

The open meeting also gave Japan

accusations that have been made against
her by those uufriendly When has Japan
ever been able to lay her case before so
