Against Comedian.

San Francisco.-ln the presence If

nounced In Police Judge LazaIus's
courtroom that Roscoe ("Fatty") Ar
buckle, motion picture comedian.
would be tried for murder, and not
nlanslaughter, In connection with the
death Of Virginia Rape, screen ac-
tress. as the supposed result Of q
party In the actors rooms
The determination of the District
attorney 10 proceed TO trial on the
murder charge was announced just be-
fore the court proceedings began. It
was reached after a series Of confer
ences with his staff, and his reasons
therefore were set forth In a statement
which he issued LITER the court ses-
sion. Through the prosecutors action
in deciding TO stand by the murder
warrant sworn out by Mrs. Bambina
Aiaude belmont instead Of the man
slaughter Indictment found by the
grand jury, Arbuckle must remain In
his cell without bail privilege.
Arbuckle's attorneys had made every
preparation to have the comedian re-
leased on bail. Five thousand dollars
In cash had been deposited with the
Police department for immediate use
II Brady had decided to act on the
manslaughter charge, or IL Mt the con-
clusion Of the police court preliminary
examination Of the case had taken
such a turn as 90 warrant them In
applying to the Superior Court for the
prisoners release on ball on the man
slaughter charge. n matter. which
would rest In the discretion of the
court. But the police court hearing
was continued and ArbuckIe can en-
terrain no hope OF release during that
time.
Arbuckle had no advance informa-
ton on the prosecutors decision. He
did not hear II until the same moment
that the hundreds of strangers who
formed a wriggling mass OF humanity
In the courtroom heard it.

British statisticians are wondering
why Il II that the proportion OF male
births increases with an increase In
wholesale prices That It does can
DO proved. In 1870 there were lose
boys born to every 1000 girls. and
the index number FOR wholesale prices
was 2T50. wholesale prices fsll
gradually until lsoe. and % dtd the
number Of boys In comparison with
the number Of girls. In 1905 thsrs
were 1.02S boys born 90 every 1000
girls, and thu Wholesale index had
fallen 10 400. Thereafter. more boys
were born, and coincidentally whole
sale prices began 60 90 mp. The move
ment Wa especially masked after
1914: and In 1919. when wholesale
prices were higher than they had ever
been before. the proportion OF boys
20 girls broke all records and was
1.060 to 1000. Why do high prisss
produce boys rather than girlsi TIA
record Of the last half century shows
that they do. but no one has bsen
able to give a satisfactory exphna-
ton for the fact.

THE DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORM

The striking thing about the
platform presented Tuesday by
the Democratic State Convention
is les entire lack of equivocation
evasion or straddling on the really
important issues with which it
deals. In-this respect it is un-
usual-really almost unique.
The result is that there is about
the document an unmistakable
ring of sincerity that carries con-
viction. II the Democrats win
in the coming election, the people
of Maryland at least know what
10 expect.
For instance, the matter Of
the reorganization of the State
Government based upon the plan
prepared by Governor Ritchie's
commission headed by ex-Judge
N. Charles Burke, is made the
dominant feature of the platform
and the party pledges itself to
enact this plan into law. The
soundness and strength Of the
plan is so obvious and what it
means in efficiency and economy
to the State is so plain that even
the Republican organs which, at
the start, attempted to criticize
and belittle the commission and
its plan, now openly advocate its
adoption by the Republican con-
vention. The forcing of the Re-
publicans into this sort of an at
titude is an undoubted triumph
for the Governor and places the
Democrats in a position of leader
ship in the presentation Of con-
structive and progressive pro-
gram for tn cir State. That the
reforms outlined in this program
are in the interest of the whole
people regardless of politics and
parties is conceded. Whether or
not the Republicans indorse the
Democratic scheme of reorganiza-
ton or attempt to parallel it with
one of their own, credit for the
courage and ability to blaze the
trail along these lines cannot be
taken from the Democratic party.
II, unquestionably, will constitute
e strong appeal to the voters this
fall. There is no doubt that the
people. groanidg as they are un-
der tax burdens, are in mood to
respond to any sane proposition
that means a saving instead of a
wasting of public money. The
Democratic plan not only will save
a very large sum annually but,
at the same time, simplifies and
improves the conduct of the States
business. To secure the adoption
Of q plan of this sort, involving
the abolition of a number of sine
cures and unnecessary Offices, by
a political party is no small
achievement. It is the kind of
thing that should bring public
response and appreciation.
