URY RETURNS VERDICT OF INSANITY IN CLARKE CASE
NO DECISION YET
IN ARBUCKLE CASE
AT SAN FRANCISCO
Movie Comedian Has Little to
Say, But Appears Nervous
Awaiting Verdict.
tsx Tho Associates Press,

] SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. Zine case
fof Roscoe C. ArbucBle went to the jury
at Ais p. m, this afternoon
Arbuckle is charged with man
slaughter in connection with the death
of Miss Virginia Rappe at a party
/ given in his rooms at the st. Francis
hotel here on September fifth.
The case has occupied the court for
approximately three weeks. Today's
entire session was taken up with final
arguments, instructions to the jury
and deliberations.
Gavin McNab, chief defense counsel,
opened the session today with con-
tinuation Of his closing argument. He
was followed by Milton U'Ren, assis-
tant district attorney, whose summing
Iup lasted nearly an hour.
The court room was crowded
throughout the day and the adjoining
corridors also held an anxious crush
| ing crowd. ArbuckIe appeared to show
deep interest in the arguments.
McNab attacked what he termed the
| imprisonment OF two prosecution
witnesses, Miss Zeh Provost and Miss
Alice Blake, show girls, by the dis
trict attorney "in order to coerce them
into giving testimony beneficial to the
prosecutions cause.
U'Ren referred to ArbucRle as a
'Belshazzar sitting on his throne and
pouring wine during the party in the
hotel st. Francis
Asked at the cessation of final ar
guments what his future plans were.
Arbuckle said he would make no state
ment until the thing is out Of the
way The prosecution reiterated its
hope for a speedy conviction.
Alternate Juror Hopkins said that
the jury mad beed watched closer
25 years. sThey. censored our mail,
both incoming and outgoing" he said.
I'VE each had separate room at the
hotel where We were watched like
hawks by four deputy sheriffs.
Hopkins told a representative Of the
San Francisco Call that in his opinion
the prosecution had failed to prove
its case and the jury would be four or
five hours in reaching a verdict.
At 9:15 p. m, when the jury had
been out of the room for five hours,
the verdict to all outward appearances
was as distant as ever. Actually the
jury had been celebrating only about
half the time, however, as it took
recess Of two and half hours for
dinner.
The bailiffs were summoned to the
jury room twice. Once was to receive
a request that the jurors be taken to
dinner and the other time the jury
asked that the doors of the room in
the hotel where Arbuckle is alleged to
have injured Virginia Rappe, be
brought to them for examination. They
changed their minds, however, before
the request could be met Each re-
quest caused a wave of excitement.
Expert testimony regarding the
finger prints on these doors was the
basis Of a contention by the prosecu-
ton that Arbuck1e had a struggle
with the girl in the room.
Hundreds crowded the court room
and adjoining corridors after the din
ner period and the door leading into

NEGOTIATIONS in
NAVAL RADIO SEEM
TO BE FAVORABLE
British, American and Japanese
Representatives Hold
Conference.
(By The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. "A new
stage in the negotiations over the ques-
tion of naval ratio, described as very
favorable" is understood to have been
reached at tonight's conference be-
tween the representatives Of the United
States, Great Britain and Japan.
After the conference between Sec
retary Hughes Admiral Kato and Ar
thur J. Balfour was concluder the
Japanese delegations Immediately be-
gan communicating with Toxic.
This official communique was issued:
Arthur j. Balfour, Admiral Baron
Kato and Secretary Hughes met at the
state department this afternoon and
had an extended interview with re-
spect to the naval proposals. No COM
ment on the interview can be made
at this time"
The conference lasted about two
hours and limitations We're given at
its conclusion that basis existed for
some optimism. One delegation spokes-
man referred to 1t as one of the most
important discussions yet held which
would mean much TO the success of
the conference as a whole. The result
was most favorable he added

Hopeful Aspect to controversy.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-The conciI-
iatory influence Of Great Britain has
given a more hopeful aspect to the
controversy over Japan's proposal to
substitute a 10-10-T naval ratio for the
5-5-3 plan of the United States
There were no evidences of further
actual progress tonight, despite an
other meeting of the naval 'big three
but the delegates generally showed
signs Of growing confidence as a reflex
of the British attitude
AS the ally Of Japan and at the same
time a supporter OF the principles that
underly the American ratio. it was
realized that Great Britain occupies a
position of peculiar influence. Wide
spread qualification was expressed
when it became known that, Arthur J.
Balfour had visited Baron Kato and
conferred at length with him on the
subject
An authorized spokesman of the
British delegation revealed clearly the
purpose Of his government to use its
best efforts for a solution. Great
Britain" said he, has tried to do ev-
Ierything within her power to bring
about a settlement Of disputed ques-
tions between other powers. / have
no doubt that Mr.. Balfour has used his
best efforts to find a plan which will
meet the views Of both America and
Japan"
Most American officials Joined ex-
pressions OF qualification, when the at
tention Of an authorized spokesman of
the American delegation was drawn to
the development he only remarked
that it was amusing how such reports
gained circulation.
In many quarters there was a dispo-
sition to regard tonights conference
Of the big three" as bearing close
relation to the conversation yesterday
between Mr.. Balfour and Baron Kato
There were indications that Japans
attitude had not yet been fully defined
by the exchanges proceeding between
the Japanese delegation and Toxic
however. and one Japanese spokesman
said after the "big three conference
that 1t would take some time" to bring
the ratio question to solution.
During the day the American dele
cation also held long session to dis

Mr.. Lewis message follows:
Labor Day this year undoubtedly
has deeper significance tor the
members Of the organized labor
movement than in any other year
since Labor Day was instituted. We
are all painfully aware of the terrible
business and industrial depression
through which not only the people of
America but the world are now pass,
ing.
We know that labor has carried
more than its just share Of the burden
Of the. depression that fol owed the
closing of the most gigantic and des
tructiye war in the history of the
world. We know that labor has paid
and is still paying more than its just
share Of the price at which the safety
OF civilization was purchased in that
Not on are We fully cognizant OF
war.
all these outstanding facts, but we
point with sunbounded pride TO the
splendid record Of labor in these try.
ing years. Without the benefit OF a
compact body OF organ zed workers
in America, fully determined to do
their patriotic duty. the war could not
have been won, for it was only through
the combined, steady sustained et,
forts of labor that fuel, food and war
supplies were produced with which Ia
wage and win the combat
Let us, therefore on this Labor Day
/ turn our thoughts to what ii means
to Amer ca and the world. Let each
working man tell himself the story
of Labor's record 1t will make him
better and stronger union man than
he ever was before. let each man
and woman in the labor movement re
cal to mind the fundamental princi
| pies upon which the labor union move
ment is founded. for those principles
are as sound as the rocks of the noun
tans and as fundamental as the all
we breathe.
The labor movement stands for al
that is good and just and fair in in
dustry Because it stands for these
supreme ideals, it should and must
have the heartiest support of every
man and woman who works. Fortu
nate, indeed, are we, the millions hC
