Spent Money Mt Own Risk.
The partnership proposed between
Hyman and James l.. Parsons, Jr., the
answer states, violated one of the
rules of the bidding, which forbade
any bidder to be interested in more
than one bid. If Hyman expended
money on the supposition that he was

risk, as he knew that only the Com
missioners could award the contract
and no one of them had advised him
that his bid would be accepted.
Justice Hoehling certified the mat
ter to Justice Bailey, who will hear

.ARBUCkLE'S TRIAL
DRAWSHUGE CROWD
Comedian Faces Manslaugh-
ter Charge Resulting From
Virginia Rappe's Death.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, November H.
Roscoe c. Arbuckle, motion picture
comedian, went to trial today on a
charge of manslaughter growing out
of the death OF Miss Virginia Rappe.
motion picture actress. September 3.
Scores of witnesses on both sides
awaited the call to the stand.
Spectators Arrive Early.
The crowds began to surge early
through the narrow corridors on the
third floor Of the Hall of Justice where
the trial court is located. Despite the
fact that the admissions were limited
to approximately 500, which included
hundreds picked points OF vantage
to glimpse the principals in the big
legal drama as they went into the
courtroom.
For more than a week the contend
ing sides have had their decks strip
ped for action. and the eaEerness
which they collected all possible evil
denee indicates a hard and bitter
contest. The trial was to have start
ed last Monday, but a local election
and Armistice day so broke up the
week that q Eostponement until to-
day was granted.
Liquor Charge Also Pendins.
In the two months that have elaps-
ed since the commission Of the alleg-
ed criminal act by Arbuckle the
defendant has been in prison for
several days, has had q preliminary
hearing on q charge of murder. which
was reduced to the manslauEhter er
charge on which he went to trial to-
day, and has been made the defendant
in a federal action charging the pos
session Of liquor illegally. The fed
n6a
will presumably await the action in
the state court.

Whether these will be laid on the

First. that all alliances shall be
abrogated. 4 :
Second that spheres of iRf1,encA,iB

Third. that an international tribunal
be constituted where pending questions

Unless some such body is provided
for, the conference here might last for

and the most that can be hoped for in
4 gathering such as this Is a binding
agreement upon princ pies which can
be applied by the tribunal As each case
arises.
The spirit Of the moment is one Of
optimism: the reception given the
Hughes proposals by the whole world
has stimulated the American delega-

questions at issue. Open diplomacy
has achieved a victory far beyond the
expectations of Secretary Hughes
himself, who is responsible for the

The conference IL still in a pre-

unwarranted. But the outlook is
brighter as this conference opens than
it was at Paris or The Hague or any

Thousands of Turkish government

pressed the Turkish educational in
