GENERAL FEDERATION
Of FUN|ONSCONDEMNS
GERMAN RAIL STRIKE
rRepubIican A. ?. Leased WIre1


BERLIN. Feb. "a sharp rebuke
to the striking railway men for the
manner in which they effected the
strike in. the face of pending wage
negotiations with the government Is
contained in joint proclamation is
sued tonight by representatives of the
General Federation Of Labor Unions
and Independent organizations. 1t
sets forth the catastrophe effects of
the strike on the internal situation in
Germany coming as 1t does on the
eve of the Genoa conference.
Demand is made that the strikers
return to work Immediately, where
upon the resolution says the wage
parleys will be resumed promptly
and the anti-strike ordinances pro-
mulgated by President Ebert will be
revoked.
This unexpected condemnation of
the strike by the chief labor organi-
cations leaves the rail men without
practical or moral support, as the
proclamation also disapproves of any
sympathetic strike in other quarters
on their behalf.
An extension of the railway strike
to take in the men employed In the
repair shops now brings the number
OF strikers to approximately $4,000
in Berlin and 100000 throughout the
country. Mediation by the manu-
faeturers union is contemplated. The
anion is holding conferences with
prominent industrial fnagnates and
with Chancellor Wirth, but the re-
suit OF these discussions has not
been made known.

ARBUCKLE JURY
DISACREES AND
/. IS DISCHARGED
rRepubIlean A. p. Leased Wlrel

IRepuDllCan a. r, Leased WlreJ
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. g. The
jury in the second trial of man
slaughter charge against Roscoe c.
(Fatty) Arbuckle decided at the con-
c1usion of a 44-hour session that 1t
could not agree and was discharged
today, with the final ballot standing
ten for conviction and two for
acquittaL
Arbuckle was accused of having
caused the death of Miss Virginia
Rappe of Los Angeles, motion pic
ture actress who was taken i'll at a
drinking party in Arbuckle's suite
here at the Hotel st Francis on Labor
Day. 1921. and died four days later
as the result OF a ruptured bladder.
The case was placed on the calendar
for next Monday to be set for it's
trial. Both prosecution and defense
announced they would favor such
trial. So sure was the defense of
its position it had submitted its case
without final Argument. This had an
effect opposite from the one in
tended, according to Nate Friedman,
one Of the jurors, in formal state
ment.
1--WE thought that when the de-
fense declined to argue 1t had thrown
up it's hands," he said 1.-THE weak
ness of its case was apparent from
the beginning. The first ten bal
lots stood nine to three for convic-
ton. and thereafter until the four
teenth and final ballot, it was 10
to g."
Arbuckle appeared to be somewhat
downcast by the verdict. Members
of his family were so visibly per-
turbed that 1t was some moments
before they greeted him or his at
torneys after the result was known.
The jury was out one hour longer
than the jury in the first trial. which
had announced the final ballot Of 10
to 2. for acquittal.
When the jurors returned to court
today they looked haggard and worn,
and the lone woman juror, Mrs.
Mary II. Somers, was visibly nervous
A crowded courtroom heard the re-
suit.
'In spite OF my own personal con-
viction 1t was my intent to be guided
by the opinion of a majority of the
jury" District Attorney Brady said.
Had the majority OF the jury been
in favor of acquittal I would have
asked for a dismissal. AS the jury
stood 10 for conviction and two for
acquittal. it is manifestly my duty to
try the case again"
Gavin McNab, chief counsel for
Arbuckle, issued the following state
ment:
"The jury in the first trial. on
practically all ballots. stood eleven
for acquittal and one alternate for
acquittal and one juryman for con-
viction.
"In this trial. on practically all
ballots, the jury stood nine for con-
viction and three for acquittal with
the two alternates for acquittal.
Practically the same evidence was
presented TO each. jury.
"The case will be tried again by
third jury.
1--WE, who know that Roscoe Ar
buckle is innocent. are confident that
right and truth will finally prevail. !"
Later Nate Friedman, one of the
jurors, announced that the two vot-
Ing for acquittaI were Lee Dolson
and elem r. Brownsberger.
"The first ten ballots were TO 8
for conviction. Then IT switched to
10 10 2 and stayed there until the
14th ballot. which was the last one
taken," Friedman said.

The Examiner obtained from Col

scription OF Strathmore: Dark COM
plexion, ruddy face, height five feet
and 5% inches, slightly legged"
At variance with the opinions Of
others on the subject was the belief
expressed today by Mary Miles Min
ter, film actress, that Taylor had not
been married, and therefore had no
daughter.
Married ?" she echoed. I'm sure
he wasn't or he would have told me.
We were such good friends"
Miss Minter was proved incorrect,
however, by the official search of
Taylor's safety deposit box in a bank
here in which was found a letter to
him from the daughter, Ethel Daisy
Taylor. postmarked at Mamoreneck,
". Y. The public administrator also
stated that he had found her exact
address in Taylor's apartments, but
was keeping it from the press at the
girls request. This was contained
in a telegram received here today
from the girl in answer to one from
him.
1t is believed the directors entire
estate, valued a I approximately
$50, 200, will go to the daughter. Part
of 1t consists of mining and oil stock,
chiefly in properties in Texas and
Nevada, valued at about $4,000 as
revealed by search Of the deposit
box. The box also contained jew
elry believed TO be worth about $500.
Petition for probate of the estate
was filed by the public administrator
in the superior court here today. The
petition listed $4,000 in cash in the
bank, $4,000 in government bonds,
$4,000 in automobiles and household
incidentaIs valued at $500 as part
of the estate. The other items to
make up 100000 were not given.
After locating the daughter, the
coroner began a search for Taylor's
former wife. 1t was said this might
lead to England. Other residents OF
the bungalow court where Taylor had
apartments offered the police all pos
sible aid In throwing light upon the
mystrey OF the directors death. They
