An inquest will be held Thursday.
Death Followed n Party.
Miss Rappe. who died Friday,
was removed from Arbuckle's
rooms in a hotel last Monday in a
critical condition after a party at
which five men and four women
were present. Autopsy surgeons
said death was due to peritonitis.
superinduced by internal injury.
Assistant District Attorney Mil
ton U'Ren said that the charge OF
murder was based on a section of
the penal code directing that such
charge be made in cases where
death resulted from a felony--in
this instance, actual or attempted
assault.
Evidence Of the various wit
nesses," URen said, clearly indi-
Gated that an assault had
been committed and was the SUI

who attended Miss Rappe, dis
closed, he said, that her death re-
suited from perintonitis, which
was caused by rupture OF an inter-
nal organ. He said there were no
! evidences of an assault and no
signs that the young woman had
been attacked. DR. Shelby Strange.

| organ had been ruptured, causing
peritonitis and death. He sent the
stomach to the city chemist for
analysis. Mrs. Jane Walsh, chief
deputy coroner, and Mrs. Jean
Jameson, nurse, who attended Miss
Rappe, said there were bruises on
the Woman's arms and legs.

One would be from Constantinople,
as a main base, by water to No
vorossisk, thence up the River Don,
leading into the heart of the
stricken country. The Don ap-
proaches the River Volga at one
point, where a rail line formerly
existed, and it might be possible TO
ship supplies by this line to the
Volga, the great highway of east
ern Russia in happier times. The
Volga would provide easy access to
large portion of the famine zone.
Sad Prospect for Winter.
The Volga also may be brought
into service on its upper reaches
The town of Tver on the Petro-
grad-M oscow rail line. might form
a convenient base for transfer OF
supplies by small streams to the
upper Volga, giving access to the
lower river. But these upper
waters freeze in winter, and cold
weather probably would block the
plan before 1t could be made eff
fective.
Col. William N. Haskell. head of
the relief commission. has sailed
with staff Of ten, bound for Mos
COW. He will then begin organiza-
ticn work for the whole famine
zone. The soviet government has
bound itself to furnish transporta-
ton and all essentials, but the first
shipment to Moscow included mo-
tor trucks and spare parts. Others
will go forward as rapidly as pos
sible.
How many people are close to
starvation in Russia is beyond
computation from any facts at
hand. The number has been vari-
ously estimated at 100000 to
35, 100000, and some observers be-
licve that once the winter begins
this number will be increased to
even 100000, or one-half of the
population left to Russia since the
chipping off of smaller states from
the old imperial trunk.

.ITALYS HARVEST THIS
YEAR TO REACH PRE-WAR
FIGURES, is ESTIMATE

Rome, Aug. 23.-ltaly's harvest
this year will reach its pre-war
productiveness, according to the
government crop forecasts. The
total harvest anticipated will reach
100000 quintals (of about 220

of grain.
The average pre-war crop was
calculated at 4S,00O,O00 quintals
During the war, production de-
creased to 3S,000,000 quintals.
The present years crop is also
distinguished by the fact that it

record grain crop of Italy, which
was in 1918, when it reached near
ly 5S,000,000 quintals.
