proved again that farce comedy is
their forte, rather than drama.
They will present this farce through
out this week. with matinees tomor-

into consideration that It was a

went unusually smooth.
From the moment Garry Aims
worth. q part played by Robert
Lynn, decides he must at any cost
secure from q former sweetheart a
certain bit OF dainty something that
the advertisements call "women's
wear, or lingerie" the action never
flags. The amusing situations that
are created in his eDdeavor TO Sc
cure the lingerie could only happen
in a farce, nevertheless they are
amusing.
The reason for Ainsworth's desire
to get hold OF this dainty garment
Is that he has been recently mar
rled and fears his young wife may
disown him II she ever finds out
that before their marriage he made
a present OF lingerie 20 a girl. who

from another point since Ainsworth'sl

last night in the third trial of Roscoe
c. Fatty" Arbuckle on a manslaugh-
ter charge growing out of the death
OF Miss Virginia Rappe, motion picture
actress. The jury was out six minutes.
The defendant was deeply affected
He received the verdict with great
sigh Of relief.
The first two attempts to convict
Arbuckle ended in mistrials. The hrst
Jury voted 10 to 2 for acquittal and
the second 10 to for conviction
On September 5, 1921, a drinking
marty was conducted in Arbuckles s
suite in the Hotel st. Francis, which
was attended by Miss Rappe, her
friend. Mrs. Bambina Maud belmont
Zey Provost and Alice Blake, show
girls. and others. After Arbuckle had
been alone in his room with Miss
Rappe for a brief period, she was
found on bed, apparently in agony
Four days later she died from the
effects OF a ruptured bladder.
On September 10, Mrs. belmont
swore to a murder charge against AT
buckle and three days later the grand
iury returned an indictment a police

ended a period Of deliberation cover
inc forty.three hours with the state
ment that II could not agree. The sec

generous supply Of liquor at the party
and Arbuckle entertained the guests
while wearing his pajamas and bath
robe.
After the party Miss Rappe was
taken to another room of the hote
and later to a sanitarium, where she
died.
The testimony Of Miss Provost anC

PURCHASERS FAVORED
DECLARES JOHNSON
South Dakota Congressman Says War
Department Sold Supplies
RidicuIously Low.

WASHINGTON. April 12-Charges that
the war department "has sold proper
ty and today is selling property at RI
diculousIy and criminally low prices
to favored customers concealing from
Congress and del berately misrepre
senting the facts were made yester-
day by Representative Johnson, Re
publican, OF South Dakota
AS proof of the fact that the war
department is misrepresenting the
facts to Congress- Mr.. Johnson charg
ed that a report of Secretary Weeks,
relative to sale of property transmit
ted to the House last December, was
the most fraudulent, misleading and
criminally deceitful document that
was ever submitted to the American
Congress-
Mr.. Johnson declared the evidence
he had obtained showed that the war
department lis trying to control the
department Of justice by putting men
who ought to be in the penitentiary
on the department of justice payroll
and asking Congress to appropriate
for il.
"A review of Secretary Weeks re-
port shows how little he actually
knows of the true facts continued
Mr.. Johnson. only a few of the thou
sands of false entries indicating fraud
ulent transactions with many favored
and inside purchasers will suffice to
show the extent of the official de-
pravity and duplicity exercised IN de
fraudng the government, which has
ever gone on without restraint since
the inception of the liquidation pro
!. cess.
Such cases as the harness sale, the
/ lumber contract and countless other
corrupt deals transpired under former
Secretary Baker. The cases with
which we are now dealing have beer
consummated under the present sec
retary of war
Millions of dollars worth Of sup
plies were sold to each of number
of favored purchasers by negotiations
without competitive bidding, without
adequate bonds or deposits to protec
the governments interests, indefinite
extensions of time granted for storag,
and delivery, and finally cancellation
effected to meet the convenience o
these especially favored sets of graft
ers."
