Japan is looking at this question from

in the Balloting.

San Francisco, Dec. 3.-The
jury in the manslaughter case
Of Roscoe C. (Fatty) Arbuckle,
was taken to its hotel at 10:37
o'clock Saturday night.
The jury is to return to re-
port at 10 a. m. Sunday.
The jury had been expected
to deliberate until II p. m.
but the illness Of one of it's
members, Miss Louise E. Win
terburn, forced an order that
it be locked up earlier.
Gavin McNab, chief defense cousel,.
said before the jury left for the night
] that he had ceased to speculate on the
outcome. 1T is toss up," he said
Milton T. U'Ren, assistant district
attorney, reiterated former statements
that the jury should be discharged as
unable to reach verdict.
The jury had been out 90 hours and
10 minutes.
Avoid Crowds
When the jury returned from the
dinner recess they were taken into a
new jury room on the opposite side Of
the building from the one in which they
deiiberated formerly. This was ito
get the jury away from the crowds"
it was explained.
Miss Louise e. Winterburn one of
the jurors. was reported to have be-
come i'll during the jury deiberation
and court officials were considering
taking the jury to its hotel early as
a result.
The nature of Miss Winterburns ill.,
ness was not revealed but it was re-
ported that it was slight.

of counsel for both sides late Satur-
day that the jury be discharged.
May Discharge Jury
The judge said he would consider
Sunday morning. if no verdict had been

would hold the jury longer. The re-
quest for its discharge was made on
the ground that the jurors were tired

jurors had been out of the court room
more than % hours and had spent
nine hours in balloting or discussion.
The jury was given recess of two

taken. all eleven to one in favor of
acquittal
Although there was another report
that the balloting had reached to 3
for acquittal.
Arbuckle's mood changed throughout
the day but it could be seen plainly
that the strain was telling on him. He
spent most of his time chatting with
counsel and other friends.

MONOPOLY ON RUSS
TRADE WOULD help
PAY GERMAN DEBTS
Journal Des Debats Outlines
Plan Which Would Allow Ma
ton to Meet Payments.

Paris, Dec. 3.-(By the Associated
Press. .)-Germany' latest plan for
meeting her reparations obligations to
the allies includes the formation of d
consortium for economic exploitation
in Russia, to be participated III by Ger
many, France, Great Britain and the
United States. according to an article
published Saturday by the Journal des
Debats.
The newspaper, although not divullg-
ing the source of its information, de-
clares this is the plan on which Hugo
SHINES, the German industrial mag
nate and former German Minister of
Reconstruction Rathenau have been
negotiating for the last few days in
London.
As outlined by the Journal des De-
bats. the plan includes the following
general stipulations:
The United States, England and
France would supply Germany with
capital necessary to transport raw ma
terials sufficient to assure German
of supplying Russia with man
ufactured products. The Russian in
dustries would be restricted to the
production of raw materials sufficient
to repay Germany for the manufactur
ed products transported into Russia.
The profits thus realized from Ger
exploitation in Russia would be
divided among the members of the con-
sortium in such way as to insure the
payment of Germany's war repara
tions. Meanwhile. Germany would be
allowed to benefit by a moratorium,
permitting a test of the above plan

Smile" Subscription
Campaign Is Halted
on Request of Hayes

enterprise was countenanced by federal
authorities, the people might as well
have something worth while to be
cheerful about and doubled the amount.

ganized along the same lines as the
smile" entries.
A Pleasure to Give
So for the past two weeks the news
papers have been vieing with one an
other in giving money away. Sums
ranging from S5 to 5000 have been
handed out to lucky holders of smile
and Christmas cheer" coupons. while
single prizes as high as $4,000 were
offered the unlikely holders of cou-
pons with two winning numbers on
them. Hundreds of numbers were
drawn each day, sometimes by Indians
and again by Chinese or even children,
around which a story could be built.
Meanwhile evening contemporaries
were becoming worried. One evening
newspaper solved the problem by
printing the winning numbers drawn by
both morning papers and advising the
public to get the winning numbers
without buying two papers. This
of the chance promoters was nipped
before it could bear results, by the
order of Mr.. Clyne.
Coupons were given away with to-
bacco, razors, sewing machines and
even were being wrapped with loayes
of bread. Practically every time a
Chicagoan entered n restaurant. bar
Der shop, n store or n club, he was
handed coupon. Many had gathered
hundreds of the slips and the task of
comparing the numbers with the win
ming lists had become real work.
SO it is that District Attorney
Clyne's order, which Sunday will take
the place of the lists of lucky num-
bers in morning papers, will cause the
smile to vanish and the Yuletide cheer
to fade from the faces of countless
coupon boarding Chicagoans.

GRANT ROADS
PETITION FOR
GUT IN RATES
Decrease Will Affect
Products Raised on
Farms; Other Slashes.
Commission Refuses to
Countermand Cut in
Hay and Grain Charge

New York, Dec. 3.-Voluntary rail-
road proposals for Inauguration of a
10 per cent decrease in freight rates
on practically all farm, range and orch
ard products in the United States out
side Of New England, were accepted
Saturday by the Interstate Commerce
commission. Orders were issued allow
ing the railroad to disregard all usual
restrictions in making up the new rate
schedules as well as such violations of
the long and short haul clause of the
Interstate Commerce commission act
as might be brought about by percent
age reductions. The orders also per-
nit the rates to be put into effect on
one days notice ''on as early date
and in as inexpensive as possible :
for six month experimental period.
Hay Rates Stand
The commission left standing its
order of October 20, requiring an ap-
proximate 161a per cent rate decrease
on grain, grain products and hay
throughout the entire trans Mississippi
district which the railroads were later
ins tructed to put into effect by Decem
ber q. The railroad executives, in
applying to the commission last week
suggested that the general 10 per cent
decrease on agricultural products which
they contemplated should apply to the
western grains and hay IS well as to
the other commodities and become q
substitute for the 1917 per cent. No
of this point in the railroad
procedure was made by the commission
today except that grain. grain products
and hay in western territory were omit
ted from the pcrmissory ordes accept
ing the general decease.
Prepare to Argue
While the commission swept away
all administrative barriers to the 10
per cent decrease, it was pointed out
that further steps would have to be
taken by the railroad managements be-
fore the lower rate basis actually comes
into effect. The commissions failure
to consider the 10 per cent decrease
on grains and hay as q substitute for
the greater reduction it previously had
ordered. it was said, might bring about
proceedings and conferences.
The commissions investigation into
the reasonableness of the general level
of transportation rates in the United
States will begin next week, and if the
railroads are disposed to withdraw
their voluntary offer, the tariffs on the
agricultural products may be left to
in that proceeding.

Chicago. Dec. 3.-Two Chicago morn
ing newspaper were halted Saturday
in their efforts to increase circulation
through an alleged lottery in which
they planned to give away money to-
failing 100000 by Charles T. Clyne,
United States district attorney, who re-
quested that the enterprises be discon-
tinued Postmaster General Will Hays
also made similar request.
Mr.. Clyne asserted that while he did
not know federal laws had thus far
been violated, each paper was in i'm
minent danger of running afoul of the
lottery section and the newspapers
agreed to call off the publicity, adver-
tising and subscription campaign. The
papers had steered clear of the federal
law against lotteries by keeping out
of the mails all papers containing ref
erences to the drawings for prizes and
the scheme had increased the circula-
ton of the two papers by approximate
ly 100000 in less than one months 8
time, it was claimed.
Unique Campaign
The first newspaper to start the
enterprise offered to give away 5000
to induce Chicagoans to smile. Several
numbers were issued, four on each
coupon and distributed broadcast and
the winners were determined by draw
ings Federal. state and city officers
were among those asked to draw win
ming numbers. All that was required
of the person holding the lucky numbers
was that they call at the newspaper
office, receive their money, and smile.
The "smile" campaign grew so fast
in popularity that in less than two
weeks the newspaper announced that
100000 would be distributed for
smiles. Circulation mounted by leaps
and bounds because those who sought
to profit by luck bought the papers
containing announcement of the win
ming numbers.
Then second newspaper took a
hand. Virtually admitting that its
competitors Smiles were no joke, it

Dali EireQt1i1 Decision
Ciues British Opening
to RenelU Peace Debate

London, Dec. 3.-(By The As
sociated Press)-After two con-
ferences in Dublin Saturday with
Eamonn De Valera, the Sim Fein
delegates in the Irish conference
are returning to London Saturday
night. It had been intended, ac
cording to statements at the Sinn
that only Arthur Griffith, Sim
Fein foreign leader would return
Saturday and that the others
would follow later.
1t was expected the reply of the
Dali Eireann cabinet to the latest
British proposals would be flatly
yes" or mo- and that in either
event Prime Minister Lloyd
George, upon Mr.. Griffith's re-
turn. would decide the govern
ment's future action. But the news
that all the delegates were ON
their way here was taken to indi-
cate there would be further dis
cussions of details, giving rise to
hope that a final breach in the me-
gotiations might be averted.
Mr.. Lloyd George, although in
the country. is within easy reach
of London and he could see the
Sim Fein delegates Sunday, if
necessary.
1t was understood the Sim
Fein delegates were bringing the
Dali cabinets last word and If
the premier should be able to meet
any additional points they might
rise he would submit the new plan
to Premier Sir James Craig of
Ulster by Tuesday. In the event
of rejection of the proposal by

Sir James, it was indicated that
the next move might be the resig-
nation of the cabinet members as
prelude to general election.
If an agreement had not bee
reached between Sim Fein and
the government, the new plan, it
is understood will not be submit
ted to the Ulster premier, and
there was no definite clue as to
what might be Mr.. Lloyd Georges
belief was expressed that the mill
tary would be given command of
the Irish situation, Immediately.
In other circles, howeverssit was
supposed the government would
publish all the correspondence on
the Irish situation. and ask the
electors later for a mandate to
deal with the situation.
Under no circumstances will
Ulster give up her northern par
lament for an all-Ireland legisla-
ture. declared John Miller An
drews, minister of labor in the
Ulster cabinet, today.
"On behalf of the northern gov
ernment / tell you" he asserted in
an address at killinchy, County
Down, that under no circum-
stances are we prepared to give up
our parliament or to agree to en-
ter an All-Ireland one, dominated
as it undoubtedly would be by men
who are avowedly enemies of
Great Britain, whose aims are not
our aims, whose ways are not our
ways.
Let our opponents show spir-
it of reasonableness and real de-
sire for peace as we have done"

The new law nullifies an agreement
entered into two years ago by which
citizens Of Canada and the United

country were required to pay income
taxes to but one country. The law
would require Canadians to pay an
per cent tax in this country with

day issued temporary restraining
order to packers and union officials in

industrial court, it was explained by
members of the court that, should the
officials fail to appear it would then
be up to the district court to institute
contempt proceedings against them.

endangers the public peace and threat
ems the public health and welfare, and
affects and threatens to affect the pro-
duction of food products constituting
the necessities of life = and that
said controversy threatens to and will
produce industrial strife, disorder and
waste and thereby is created an emer-
gency affecting the public interest"
