Wages Of County
LabOrerS Are Cut
Reduction of SO Cents a Day
VIII Come October l;
Wave of Economy On in
Face of Fund Shortage.

Pay of county employees engaged in
road work and similar unskilled labor
on days wages will be reduced
80 cents day, from SO to $3.50 be-
ginning the first of October, it was de-
cided by the board of supervisors at
the meeting on Friday. Chairman Ka-
lama is to make the arrangements
and to have the workers notified his
action later to be ratified
Reduction of pay of county labor
ers had been a subject of discussion
at the two proceeding meetings of the
board as a part of the policy of re-
cocuping and economy which the men,
bers of the board know must be em-
ployed for the balance of the year, but
the board members regretted the ne
cessity for such action and were loath
to take it. 1t is felt, however, that the
cost of living which occasioned the
advance to SO a day has declined con-
siderably.
1t is the purpose of the board of SUI
pervisors to end the present year with
a surplus in the county treasury if
possible because the members one
and all recognize that the revenues of
next year will be very much less next
year than this even with an increased
tax rate. The incomes of the planta-
tions this year are very much less
than last year which will mean a
very large falling off in the assessed
valuation. County funds were not so
much affected this year because OF
the fact that the special tax for the
sanitarium and county hospitals made
available money in the geenral fund
formerly spent for the support and
maintenance of those institutions
Next year the same amount will be
raised for such institutions but the
reduced assessed valuations OF the
plantation companies will mean tax
receipts for the county thousands OF
dollars less than receipts of this year
1t was evident in various ways al
the meeting this month that the board
will be very careful in it's appropria
tions for the balance of the year. II

necessary. The request of contri

Fund Raising Starts
for Press Congress;
Plans Going Forward

Raising of the necessary funds for
the reception and entertainment of
visiting members of the Worlds
Press Congress, October 1916, was
started Friday when the board of SUI
pervisors responded generously to
the request of the committee and
appropriated $500, the amount asked.
Chairman Gray of the committee pre-
sented the request to the board, eX-
planned the purposes and plans of the
committee, the value of the publicity
that will be secured as a tourist get
ting asset and more especially in
bringing to the attention of the WIS.,
itors Island conditions and needs.
The members of the board were unan-
imous in their action.
L. A. Thurston wirelessed from
Honolulu for the Maui program of
entertainment to be sent him by yes
terday's Mauna Kea and he was for
warded the program as outlined by
the committee at its meeting last
week.
Acceptances are coming in from
the various heads of departments and
it is expected that all will have been
heard from this week so it is plan
ned to call a meeting of the new and
enlarged committee to be held next
Tuesday afternoon.

Underwood Slated as
Conference Delegate
ASSOCIATED PRESS

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 13.-
Oscar Underwood says that he will
accept the appointment as delegate
to. the conference for the limitation
of ornaments. Undoubtedly, he says,
America favors limitation of arma-
ment to certain degree, but he added
that the probable problem that will
confront the delegates of this country
is to convince others of the necessity.
Others may be brought to agree that
it is thoroughly wise to reduce arma-
ments, and he believed others would
be willing to make concessions which
will render agreement possible,
which would relieve the world of
much of the armament burden.

Testimony Against
Arbuckle Damages
Less Than Expected
ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13-Some-
what different aspect has been put
upon the Arbuckle case in the investi-
cation being held by the grand jury,
the testimony being, it is reported,
less damaging to the accused than
the police had led the public to ex-
pect.
The district attorney issued a state
ment in which he says that he be-
lieves perjury has been committed by
one of the prosecution's chief wit
nesses, who gave entirely different
testimony before the grand jury from
what she had told the prosecution,
and he believed undue influence had
been brought to bear. He said Miss
Zay and Miss Bron, who also called
the physician with Miss Bron, changed
their testimony. He also said that
Alice Blake, another witness for the
prosecution, is missing. Miss Bron is
under surveillance and the hearing by
the grand jury is to be continued
further.
Mrs. Sadie Writ Spreckles told the
grand jury that shortly before the
death of Miss Rape the latter sent
said ITO think that I left my quiet
life and got into such a party"
Henry J. Boyle, assistant manager
of the st. Francis Hotel, testified at
the inquest of Miss Rape that Mrs.
Del Monte called him to Arbuckle's
room, where he found the girl uncon-
scious and moaning. Arbuckle told
him she had only few drinks.
The physician who treated her said
that nothing to indicate that violence
had been committed was found until
the autopsy was performed, when it
was disclosed that Miss Rappe was
injured internally.
Roscoe ("Fatty') Arbuckle, moving
picture star comedian and owner of
the Vernon baseball team, was ar
rested by the San Francisco police au-
thorities on Sunday and yesterday
was formally charged with RESPONSE
bility for the death of Virginia Rape,
formerly a moving picture actress.
Miss Rape was taken from Ar
buckles rooms in the st. Francis and
died Friday of congestion Of the lungs
and peritonitis, following party in
Arbuckle's rooms. The management
of the hotel says that after the party
Arbuckle was ordered to leave the
hotel. Detectives are guarding wit
nesses for the prosecution.
The police assert that they have a
clear case against Arbuckle that an
assault was attempted or perpetrated
and that in addition to peritonitis and
congested lungs the body OF Miss
Rappe was badly bruised. Arbuckle
denies that he was alone with her
Miss Rape is reported by the nurse
who attended her to have said that
she took two or three drinks with
Arbuckle and remembered no more
not recollecting going to his rooms.
Arbuckle is reported as refusing tc
talk beyond saying that he was
Through with liquor"
Yesterday various moving picture
theaters announced cancellation OF
contracts to show Arbuckle films. lr
San Francisco two theaters ordered
| such films off their bills. One OF the
largest picture theaters in Los An
geles announced the withdrawal o.
one of his films and none OF his PIC
lures was shown last night. The
mayor of Medford ordered Arbuckl'
numbers withdrawn, and the board o
censors of Tennessee ordered pictures
featuring the accused to be barred
