San Francisco, Sept. 23.-United
Press. Evidence that Roscoe Ar
buckle, movie comedian, assaulted
Virginia Rape in an inhuman man
ner, causing injuries which result
ed in her death, will be produced
at his preliminary hearing on a
murder charge today, District At
torney Brady announced.
Al Semnacher, Miss Rappe's man
ager and formerly Arbuckle's close
friend, is expected to make this ac-
cusation ON the witness stand.
aPiece of Ice- Story.
He will testify, Brady said, that
after Arbuckle had taken the CIR.
to his bedroom and torn off part OF
her clothes he attacked her with q
piece of ice in such q manner as &c
humiIiate her and cause the intur-
les from which she died few days
later.
Mrs. Bambine Maud belmont, whl
swore to the murder complaint
against Arbuckle, and Miss Zey
Prevon, show girl, also were SUM
moned as witnesses today.
Miss Prevon was to be question
ed concerning the details of the gir
jollifcation that preceded the al
legged assault on Miss Rappe. Mrs
belmont will cover the same
ground.
Defense Plans Release.
Chief Counsel Frank Dominguei
and the other defense attorneys to-
day were planning to secure Ar
buckles release through medica
testimony. They set up the theory
that Miss Rappe merely collapsed
from alcoholic excesses while il
Arbuckle's room and that the intes
tinal rupture which caused hel
death developed later.
Mrs. Roscoe Arbuckle, who camC
here from New York to join hel
husband when he was accused, saiC
she would be at his side in tht
court room today. He seemed
greatly encouraged by her pres
ence yesterday. They freQuentl.

COMMITTEE VOTE IS9

ONLY ONE TO DISSENT
VIII Garry Fight Against
Ratification to the
Senate.

Washington, Sept 23.-Onited
Press s.)-With two reservations al
tached, the senate foreign relations
committee today reported to the
senate for ratification the three new
peace treaties with Germany, Aus
tria and Hungary.
The vote of the committee was
9 to l.
The reservations were designed
to meet partially the objections
against the new treaties raised by
Senator Borah of Idaho. This con-
cession, however, did not satisfy the
leader and he cast
the only vote against reporting the
new pacts.
Borah indicated that he will car
ry his fight to the senate floor.
Adopt Borah Reservation.
The reservation is similar to that
offered by Senator Lodge to the
treaty of Versailles. 1t prevents
the appointment of an American
representative on any international
body set up under the treaty with
out the expressed consent of con-
gress. 1t was offered by Senator
Borah.

DRIVEN MAD,
SHOOTS
KILLS SELF
Mrs. Lawes Wounds Heir
ess Chum, Then Com
mits Suicide.

New York, Sept. 23.-Onited
Press. Driven mad by the 'hign
life'' of New York, Mrs. Grace
Lawes of San Francisco early to-
day shot and seriously wounded
Miss Mildred Hanan, "A, heiress
of the A p. Hanan millions. and
then committed suicide.
The shooting occurred on the
sidewalk of Schermerhorn street.
Brooklyn, as Miss Hanan and John
s. Borland, an exporter, emerged
from the residence of a friend
where they had spent the evening.
Mrs. Lawes, who was an old chum
Of Miss Hanan, suddenly confront
ed them and started shooting. Miss
Hanan, with bullets in +he arm and
chest, ran a few yards and then
collapsed on doorstep.
The other woman put the muzZle
of the pistol il aer mouth and pull
ed the trigger. She fell dead in
an areaway.
Police found Borland sitting be-
side the millionairess on the door
step, trying to staunch the flow of
blood from her wounds.
Miss Hanan, whose father, the
late A P. Hanan, made a fortune
in the shoe manufacturing bust
hess. was taken to hospital where
she was operated on shortly before
noon today. Her chances for re-
covery- are slim.
Jealousy Ascribed.
The first theory was that Mrs.
| Lawes was in a jealous frenzy when
she tried to kill Miss Hanan. 1t
was learned that Borland had been
friendly with both women, that the
! women had quarreled and that for
several days Miss Hanan had been
in fear of an attack from "a crazy
woman"
a few days ago she told a po-
/ liceman, authorities learned, that
a crazy woman with pistol was
! following her in taxicab."
Letters written by Mrs. Lawes be-
| fore the shooting were made public
today. They throw more light on
Mrs. Lawes' state of mind, showing
she was unbalanced by her life in
New York.

DEMOS ATTACK
TAX REVISION
BILL AS UNFAIR
Rank Discrimination
Against Home
BuiIders.'

Washington. Sept 23.-Another
effort to bring up the tax revision
bill in the senate was planned to-
day by Chairman Penrose of the
finance committee, who also hoped
to submit the majority report on
the measure. The Pennsylvania
senator desires to have the bill
read this week with view to the
opening of general debate next
Monday at the latest
The Democratic opposition on the
measure already has been launched.
Senators Walsh of Massachusetts,
and Gerry of Rhode Island, with the
approval of Senators Simmons of
North Carolina and Reed of Mis-
souri,, other minority members of
the finance committee, issued a
statement last night attacking the
bill as indefensible and giving no.
tice that the Democrats would con-
centrate all their efforts in an en-
deavor to change features which
they deemed most unfair and un-
Just"
Senators Walsh and Gerry al
ready have proposed amendments
which would provide for reductions
in the normal income tax rates on
individual incomes of $4,000 or
less, and for a graduated tax Of
from 10 to 20 per cent on incomes
of corporations in lieu of the pro-
posed fiat Is per cent.
The senators declare in their
statement that under the RepubIi-
can proposal every corporation,
whether making excess profits or
not would have TO pay so per cent
increased tax on its net income.
Those corporations which are
certain of being able to make ex-
cess profits as soon as business re-
wives" the statement says, ARE to
be Immediately and directly benefit
ed, while those corporations that
are certain of being obliged to
struggle for a long period of time
before any reasonable profits are to
be realized, are to have their tax
burdens increased.
We cannot accept the theory of
the Republican majority that justi-
! fes this rank discrimination against
! the small struggling profit-making
! corporation. Such inequitable tax
! legislation was exacted even during
the war when the government was
sexerting every possible means to
raise revenue as is now proposed
by the Republican majority in des-
peration to meet the loss of reVe-
/ nue. to the government by abolish
ing of the excess profits tax, a loss
of $450,000,000 or one-seventh of
the entire tax to be raised under
the proposed revenue bill
Discussing the proposal to reduce
the normal income tax on individ-
uals having $4,000 or less a year,
| the statement says this class of tax
payers constitutes the great invest
ment class, the unorganized middle
class, the home building class, in
deed, the bone and sinew of the
country" and that yet the Repub-
lican program has practically elm
mated from consideration this ela-
ment of our population, except for
small additional exemptions in the
lower surtax brackets and for the
heads of families with less than
| $4,000 income"
