Accompanied by his attorney Ar

night from Los Angeles and went at
once to police headquarters. He was
questioned by detectives for several
hours, but on advice of his attorney
refused to answer. At midnight Capt
Matheson ordered him booked for
murder. 'Arbuckle aost his usual
jaunty manner, and as he posed for

All Of to-day Arbuckle persisted
in refusing to answer questions of
the police, and his attorneys, under
whose instructions he was acting, de-
clined to discuss the case.
Miss Rappe was 25 years old and
was born in Chicago. She attracted
attention in that city in 1918, it is
said, by advice to young women TO
create original methods of making
a living. She was then making four
thousand dollars a year as a travel
ing art model. Miss Rappe came to
San Francisco in 1915, and for a
time designed gowns and wore them
as model. She began acting in the
motion pictures at Los Angeles in
1917, and took leading parts in sew
| eral productions.
Arbuckle was born in Kansas "a
years ago. His first motion picture
work was as extra man for compan-
les producing slapstick comedies
film plays as head Of his own com
pany.

Anti-French
Move Made By
Italian Paper

Paris, Feb. S.-Much concern is
being displayed by the French
press over a violent anti French
campaign recently launched in
several Italian newspapers, led by
the Tempo.
The campaign first took the
form of charges that France was
trying to get more than her just
share of war reparations to the
detriment of Italy. Then it swung
to charges of militarism, including
the allegation that France was try
ing to involve the Allies in new
war by insisting upon strict appli-
cation of the Versailles treaty.
Recently certain Italian news
papers reproduced the charge that
French colored troops in the Ger
man occupied zone had assaulted
German women. They even print
ed cartoons depicting colored SOL
diers dragging white women by the
hair. French weekly magazines
retaliated by inquiring why the
Tempo's Paris correspondent is al
lowed to remain in France.
Should RenOunce Aid
The Giornale d'IHlia, organ of
Baron Sonnino, former Foreign
Minister of italy, tackles matters
from another angle in an editorial
urging France to "renounce the
problematical aid of the United
States and an alliance with Eng
land" on the ground that the
United States will never aid
France at all and that England's
assistance will be dearly bought.
The Paris Journal des Debats. in
a lengthy editorial dealing with
the consequences Of the Italian
press campaign, comments as
follows:
so they want us to return to
the old scheme of things whereby
France and italy. closely linked,
should govern the world. What
folly! France and Italy would be
absolutely incapable of this task;
they would go under in great
Furthermore, for her
part, France has not the ambition
that seems to haunt some Italian
brains. She wants only to live and

g. Year Old Piano
Wizard Is Found
In Great Britain

London, Feb. S.-Selby, in York
shire, possesses a child musical
prodigy. Her name is Freda Hall.
She is only eight years old, but she
has just carried all before her in
the senior grade examination at
Hull, in connection with Trinity
College of Music, London. She
competed against the most ad-
vanced students and passed five
points over the honors mark.
When she is at the piano her
feet dangle fully fifteen inches
from the ground, yet her mastery
over the keys is astonishing, and
anyone hearing her playing with
out seeing her would at once con-
clude that a grown master of the
piano was performing.

Issue of South
African Ballot
General Election To
day to Decide If
State Is to Be indie
pendent of Britain

London, Feb. S.--No less vital an
issue than the secession of an inn
portant state of the British empire
by ballot arises in the election to-
day of new legislative assembly
in thesunion of South Africa
Broadly, the question is whether
South Africa, comprising the prov
inces OF the Cape of Good Hope
Natal, Transvaal and Orange Free
State, shall continue allegiance to
the king of England as one of the
governing dominions of the
empire, or whether the South Afri-
can Union shall set up as an indie
pendent republic.
English sympathies naturally are
with the loyalists. Both sections
are, however, admired for their de-
cision to settle differences by the
ballot rather than by more drastic
means.
At the head of the loyaIist sec
ton is General j. c. SHUTS. former
Boer general, now prime minister
of the union. He is better known
as one of the leading advocates Of
the league OF nations. Opposed to
him is General Hertzog, also a. for
mer Boer military leader.
In the general elections OF March
1920 the Hertzog party obtained Al
seats in the legislative assembly.

Storm Damage
Increased In
Late Reports

Port Townsend, Wash, Feb. T.
Additional details of the storA of
last week which inflicted several
million dollars damage to the west
slope of the Olympic peninsula in
jefferson and Clallam counties
reached here today.
The Lacey Lumber company es-
timated that standing timber worth
100000 was uprooted on it's eX-
tensive holdings. However a large
part of this can be logged. one
report was that one third of the
timber on the west slope in Clal-
lam county was torn down by the
wind, which settlers described as
the worst they have ever expert
enced. Damage to the Olympic
highway, inflicted by falling trees
is estimated at $4,000.
Twenty six houses in one farm
ing community in Clallam county
were blown down, and sixteen In
dian cabins at LaPush were demol-
isred. Many head of cattle were
killed, but the loss in this regard
cannot be estimated.
There were no casualties so Tar
as known, but fears are expressed
for the safety of the family of ID.
Brandenberry, a settler living 20
miles southeast of Forks. There
are five children in the family.
None of them has been located.
Hundred of eIks are to have been
killed, settlers reporting that near
ly all of a herd of 200 were killed
by falling timber.
1t was said here today on the
word of settlers that early estim-
ates of SlO.oOO.OOO property loss
will probably be Sustained when
a full list of the losses is tab
uleted.
The area that was devastated $
one of the most isolated parts ot
the nation. Communication is pos
sible only over a single highway
extending from Port Townsend TO
Mora, on the Pacific coast. This
highway was entirely blocked by
the storm, so that settlers coming
here for aid were five days IN
hewing their way.
A party was>Hent out from here
today with food and clothing for

and destitute by the hurricane
They were equipped to cut their
