The story OF the hour is that the In
dubitable breach between Great Britain
and France due to the Curzon attack IN
London last week, may have been created
with the sanction OF Lloyd George for
the purpose of enabling him to come to
Washington and save the day. Conference
statesmen familiar with the mental pro-
cesses OF 'the little Welshman" are talk
ing tonight OF his penchant for tteing
knots to be cut by his own mighty sword
at the Psychological moment.
PENDING ISSUES VITAL
TO ENGLAND.
Not only are issues vital to Great
Britain pending, but on their solution
in a sense favorable 70 Britain depends
largely Lloyd Georges own prestige. The
rivalry between him and BRAND Is in
tense. They have had passage at arms
galore ever since BRAND for the seventh
time, following Clemenceaus fall after
the armistice, became French premier.
Usually Lloyd George has come out on
top.
Last week IN Washington, with the
world looking on as never before when
they were at grips, BRAND triumphed.
His success in frustrating conference ac-
tion designed to commit France 10 reduc-
tion OF land armament has in a sense
made BRAND the first statesman Of Eu-

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. 28.--
Roscoe ("Fatty') Arbuckle broke a
three-months' enforced silence today
and told for the first time on the
witness stand the story Of what
happened in Room 1919 of the St.
Francis Hotel, where the State
charges he inflicted injuries that
caused the death of Virginia Rape.
His story was blanket denial of
any wrongdoing. His words came
like a torrent long damned up in
response to the skillful questions Of
his chief OF counsel, Gavin McNab,
who drew out the story in careful
sequence.
Arbuckle said he found Miss Rappe
vomiting on the floor Of the bathroom
Of 1919 and carried her to bed He said
he mlnistered to her and that while he
went to get n glass Of water she fell
between the two beds. He again placed
her on bed then called the other wom-
en- of the party Ito stop her from tearing
her clothes"
DENIES RAPE GIRL
HAD ACCUSED HIM.
Arbuckle denied that Virginia Rappe
had accused him in any way that he
heard and maintained that all that he
had done IN any way was to help the
unfortunate girl.
His direct examination required just
thirty minutes.
ENTIRELY AT EASE
ON CROSS-EXAM
Arbuckle was entirely at ease on cross
examination.
His answers to the barraRe Of ques-
tions fred at him by Assistant District
Attorney Friedman were given without
n moments hesitation and some OF them
came sharp as the crack Of a whip.
The cross examination was confined 10
narrow limits by reason OF the sktlful
maneuyer in which his counsel conducted
the direct questioning
No mention Of any other parties crept
In. The State was forced to confne It
self to an effort to shake the comedian S
story by apparent contradictions.
And this effort was not a success. Not
only aid he hold to his story closely, but
questions designed to trap him were
cleveriy eyaded.
He might have been enacting a court

polse.
A great crowd packed the courtroom.
He was the second witness Of the day.

GET IN WAY OF
ICETRUSTCASE
Lesh Says Investigation of
Standard COmpany's Prac-
tice Not Begun.

No investigation Of the practices of the
Standard OIL Company in Indiana has
been started, L s. L.esh. attorney general,
announced today. He said, however, that
he had some time ago received verbal
complaint from an independent oil COM
pany and that he had promised to in
vestigate II an invest cation is made he
said It will not come until after the
present ice trust case has been settled.
'Some time ago" Mr.. Lesh said, "a
representative OF an oil company came
TO me and complained OF the manner in
which the Standard Oil Company is do
ing business. l took notes on his verbal
complaint and promised to look into the
matter to determine If there has been
any law violations. That is all that
has been done. Statements concerning
an investigation by this cfice have been
greatly overdrawn."
Mr.. Lesh said that he did not wish to
be put in the position of contending that
there has been any violations of the
law unless something is found to war
rant such assertions. He said also that
he would hesitate to take up such an in
vestigation without the cooperation of
the United States Government because of
the extent of the Standard Oil business
The complaint against the Standard OIL
Company, being made by independent
concerns, has to do with the margin OF
l cent profit allowed filling stations
on the sale of gasoline. 1t is said that
this method is being taken by the com
pany to squeeze out its competitors Last
summer the price of gasoline suddenly
dropped, due, according to statements of
oil men, to the efforts of the Standard
Oil Company to drive its competitors out
of the field. Since that time there has
been a gradual increase in price. The
price war was principally between the
Standard Oil Company and the Indian

THOMAS MEIGHAN IN @THE
PRINCE CHAP SUNDAY

Thomas Meighan. who played the
hardened crook in THE Miracle Man"
and is seen in THE Prince Chap" at
the Rex theatre Sunday In an entirely
different type of role, has a warm spot
in his heart for children. Meighan's s
associates at the Lasky are we'll aware
of this fact Nevertheless, they were
considerably surprised one day recent
ly when Meighan came racing into the
studio with a pretty fiaxen- haired lit
tie girl of about four years perched on
his shoulder and announced breath
Iessly.
Folks, meet Miss Peaches Jackson,
my new leading lady"
And Peaches had to dimple aud
smile and hide her face against his
shoulder. though the introduction was
perfectly accurate, since 1t required
three leading ladies to portray the
heroine of THE Prince Chap" and
Peaches was one of them. The action
of the picture shows the heroine al
four. eight, and eighteen years of age.
The other two leading ladies were May
Giracci and Lila Lee.
THE Prince Chap" is the first of
the William De Mile productions and
Paramount Aircraft picture.

BALL. GAME PLAYED
HERE LAST SUNDAY
High School Team Had Easy Sailing
Until Henry Lange Took Mound
For Opposing Nine; Final
Score l. IL TO IL

The biting cold wind that held sway
Sunday did not chill the enthusiasm
of the baseball fans of this community
or interfere with the players of the
high school and town teams in their
scheduled game on the local diamond
At the end of the ninth inning the
score stood 12 to II I'm favor of the
town team. The high school lads
played a good game, and up to the
sixth inning the score was even. The
players of the town team were
switched and finally Henry Lange was
put in the pitchers box and from that
time on the game was somewhat one
sided.
Henry Bruins acted as umpire, and
in order to get real kick ont of the
game, the spectators turned loose
barrage of epithets at the umpire. but
they only brought forth a smile from
the godd-natured Bruins. Some of the
players. and married men at that, may
not have had little fairy In their
homes, but they most certainly lad Il.
little miss in their gloves, and the,
crowd let them know about it every
time a miss or muff occurred.
II is understood that from the teams
that played last Sunday a nine is to
be chosen OF the best players and next
Sunday the All-Stars will try eonclu-
sions with the local Indian team.

PREDICTED THAT GOLD WILL
NEVER BE IN DEMAND AGAIN

While gold is likely to find its way
back into general circulation in the
very near future. it is doubtful in the
opinions of some Reno bankers
whether the popularity of the yellow
metal as an exchange medium or as
a trade agency will ever again reach
its pre-war standard. Since gold be-
gan to vanish from the trade chan
nels. five years ago, there has been
diminishing demand for 1t until now
the people, seemingly educated to the
use and convenience of paper money,
no longer evince a desire for the coin,
says the Gazette.
Contrary to public opinion, gold was
never forced out of circulation through
any definite banking order with the
advent of the war. The government
wanted all the gold 1t could get its
hands on. but 1t placed no restrictions
IN Its circulation unless request

The Douglas Milling and Power

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT TO
COOPERATE WITH COUNTIES

A resolution was adopted in Carson
City recently by the directors OF the
Nevada department OF highways in
which it was decided that henceforth
the department would cooperate
with the various boards of county
commissioners in laying out and doing
its future work. The highway engi-
neer was instructed to confer with
the various boards of county commits
sioners relative to the general loca-
tion of the various highways In the
several counties and to do everything
possible to make the locations of the
different routes generally satisfactory
to the county commissioners.
The engineer was also instructed to
furnish the commissioners from time
to time financial statements II re-
quired, as we'll as certified copies Of
all estimates.
The decision of the state highway
commission to cooperate with the var
ious boards of county commissioners
will. no doubt, hasten many road i'm
provements within the various coun-
ties. Through this cooperation 1t may
be that some definite step toward re-
pairing the Double Springs road will
result. Under present conditions the
road leading to the rich territory south
of this community, is practically
closed to automobile and motor trucks
for several months during the winter.
or at least In such deplorable condi-
tion that people from Smith and Ante
lope Valleys find 1t much more con-
venient to do their trading that may
be reached over good roads.
The state highway commission has
made an endeavor on three different
occasions to get bids on this work.
but owing to labor conditions. contrac-
tors refused to consider the bids.
There are now several road outfits in
Western Nevada that may be induced
to go ahead with the work and with
the county commissioners and state
highway commission cooperating. the
problems that have prevented work on
the Double Spring project should be
of no consequence at this time.

COLD SNAP KILLS

Early Vegetation and Spring
Wheat Will Suffer

The exceptionally warm weather of
the past three weeks terminated sud
denly Sunday morning when this val
ley was swept by cold wave that
killed much of the early fruit In all
parts of the valley. The cold spell has
continued throughout the week. and
several farmers report that grain
crops that had already started have
been frosted
The warm weather Of last week had
started heavy run-off of water in both
forks of the Carson river. but the cold
spell of this week has checked the flow
much to the satisfaction of the farm
ers who believe that a heavy spring
run-off of flood waters would have
serious results, and be responsible for
a shortage OF water for irrigation later
in the season.
Sheepmen report that the cold spell
has not brought any serious results
to them and that the young lambs have
