''Motor Foot Disease
Newest Thing Reported

ATLANTA, Sept, IA new dis
ease has been discovered, according
to Atlanta automobile men, Strangely
enough it is not one whose cure de-
ponds upon the use of alcoholic bev-
cages. 1t is "motor foot" and con-
is'o>s of displacement of the meta
tarsal bones lofifea right foot due to
continued pressure upon the acceler-
ator of motor car. 1t is said to be
very painful.
The worst thing about this stylish
trouble is that it makes walking hurt
and interferes even more with golf,
tennis and other active vacation sports
leaving the poor victim delicately poi
sed on his good foot between the dew
ii and the deep blue sea, with no wav
to amuse himself except by sitting in
a chair or walking on his hands.
Of course there will be mean souls
to ask why step on the accelerator
so often? Why try to pass all other
cars on the road?"

Arbuckle's Lawyers
Issue Statement
Appeal To The Public To Withhold
Judgement Until Trial Is Over

San Francisco, Sept. 12-An appea
to the thousands having knowledge
of the famous Fatty Arbuckle smile
to withhold judgement on Roscoe Ar
buckle was issued late Monday b,
Arbuckle's attorneys.
Judge not, that we be not judged,
was the keynote of the appeal.
Jew with complete knowledge O.
all facts know that Arbuckle is limo
cent the statement reads "The pa
irons of the silent drama having {:
knowledge of the smile of the famous
Fatty Arbuck1e will not believe tina
he is guilty of the charges made
against him until proven in cour
of Justice.
The christian sentiment of this God
fearing nation will not adjudge any
person guilty of an alleged Grim un-
til the same has been proven in a
spirit of our Master, who said Judge
not, that we be not judged"
Declare Innocence
The whirlwind and typhoon of I'm
just criticism is now on. Truth will
dispel the clouds of falsehood and
will sustain the basic principle of the
Anglo-Saxon ideal that the presump
ton of innocence prevails until the
same has been disproved beyond a
reasonable doubt.
COMEDY and tragedy come into
the lives of the unfortunate. In Gods
plan the two are essential. With an
abiding confidence that he Christian
charity of the civilized world will be
manifest in this case, we appeal to the
conscience and hearts of the Ameri-
can people to hold in allegiance any
judgement until the court has determ-
ined the guilt or innocence of our
client.
To our countrymen and to his ad-
mirers we positively declare that the
charges made against him are false
and the same will be established in
due time in the courts of justice of
California. Bias and prejudice can
not prevail. 3
To Face Coroner's Jury
Arbuckle was to face the coroner's
jury here late Monday, in the investi-

Rape, movie actress, for whose MUIR
der he stands formally charged in a
complaint sworn out here.
Coroner T w B Leland announced
that Arbuckle would be called to at
tend the inquest but that he would
not necessarily testify. He has the
right to refuse to take the witness
stand if he desires and the policy of
his defense indicates that he will be
