ARBUCK[E JURY
LOCKED Up; !; ONE
DOUBTS Gull I
Woman Alternate Who
Was Excused Believes
Actor Is Innocent.
Defense Springs Sur
prise by Foregoing
Argument at Close.

San Francisco, Feb 1.-The case oi
Roscoe c. (Fatty) Arbuckle, accused
of manslaughter in connection with the
death of Miss Virginia Rape, went to
the jury at 3.42 p. m. Wednesday, af-
ter q trial covering three weeks. II
was his second trial on the charge, the
first having resulted in jury dis
agreement.
Mrs. Estelle Baumeisterd, one of the
two alternate jurors who were excused
when the jury retired, said that in her
opinion, Arbuckle is not guilty. Henry
Gutenberg, the other alternate, de-
clined to express an opinion, although
he congratulated the defense on its
showing.
The defense inserted sensation in
to the proceedings by announcing it
would submit the case to the jury with
out argume ent. 1t was this action which
accelerated the case so that the jury
was able to begin deliberation Wednes-
day, a day earlier than had been anti
cipated The announcement came at
the end of the first argument by the
prosecution made by Milton T. U'ren,
assistant district attorney. It had the
effect of shutting off further argum ent
by the prosecution as, under the law,
such further argument can only be a
rebuttal of the final defense summing
up.
ArbuckIe JovlaI at Outset
In Arbuckle's first trial the defense
made IN offer to submit the case with
out argument, but the prosecution de-
clined to give up its opportunity to ex-
plain to the jury and Both sides argued
Arbuckle, jovial and apparently care
free most of the day, was visibly ner-
vous when the jury retired.
Wednesdays session saw the con-
elusion of the prosecutions rebuttal
testimony. Three minor witnesses tes-
titled. The defense announced that it
would make no sur-rebuttal and U'Ren
then began the sole closing argument
He attacked in detail the testimony
given by Arbuckle in the first trial Of
the case, holding that no proper ex-
planation had been given as to what
transpired in Arbuckle's room in the
Hotel st. Francis when the comedian
is supposed to have attacked Miss
Rappe. U'Ren spoke one hour and
thirty six minutes.
At $50 p. m. the jury was taken out
to dinner under orders to resume it's
at 8 p. m.
At II p. m. the jury was locked up
For the night. 1t will resume it's de-
at 10 a. m. Thursday.

World a Flat Hive
According to Zion
Dictator Voiva

Zion City, Ill.,, Feb. Wilbur
Glenn vollva, successor Of John
Alexander Dowie as oyerseer OF
Zion and head Of the Christian
Apostolic church, has completed the
fixing of dimensions Of his flat
world, existence of which now is
taught In the Zion schools.
According to v0liva's latest pro-
nouncement, the sky Is vast dome
of solid material, from which the
sun, moon and stars are hung like
chandeliers. The edges of the dome,
he explained, rest on the wall Of ice
which surrounds the flat world to
keep foolhardy mariners from tum-
bling overthe edge.
THAT is the plain teaching of the
whole word of God" no said, "that
the heaven, the dome, the vault, like
tent, is solid structure over the
earth and all the lights are set
within the armament. Ezekiel says
the throne of God is above the
vault The firmament above our
heads is solid structure, and the
stars are points Of light. that Is all.
Tksy are not worlds, they are not
suns. So-caIled science is a lot Of
silly rot, and so Is .so-caiIed medical
science, and all the rest of their So
called sciences"

At least 100000 workers

bership of the miners union at
100000 and the combined mem
bership Of the railroad unions at
100000 to 1,750,O0O. Mr..
Lewis denied. however, that the
alliance sought to compete with
the American Federation of La
Dor, but said that the unions
sought to be drawn together were
the largest groups of the latter
organization. The federation's
membership, Lewis said, was
about 5000, 900 workers.
Pointing out that the 1919
convention of the miners directed
that steps be taken toward the
promotion of closer understand
ing between the coal workers and
the railroad men, the letter Of in
vitation declared 'the time is
now oportune for the holding of
meeting Of accredited represent
atives of each organization for
the above mentioned purpose.
I'VE would respectfully re-
quest that, as representing your
organization, you give immediate
consideration to the questions
contained therein"
No date or place was suggested
for holding the meeting.
