PUBLIC TO DECIDE
ARBUCKLE'S FUTURE

New York, April 13.-Jesse
Lasky, president of the Famous
Players-Lasky Corporation, who
is now in New York, said last
night that a new Arbuckle
picture would be released i'm
mediately. He added that on
the manner in which the pub
lie receives this picture would
depend the answer as to wheth-
er or not another contract
would be made with Arbucklc
by the Lasky corporation.
Il am very pleased that Mr..
Arbuckle has been acquitted
he said. AN aoouittal is what
all persons connected with mo-
tion pictures hoped for and be-
i, lieved would happen. Our or
ganization had several Ar
buckle pictures on hand when
this trouble took place, At
the risk of losing consider,
able sum of money we decided
not to release them if Ar
buckle was convicted. How
ever, now that he has been
acquitted by a jury composed
of American citizens we con-
slider he has been completely
vindicated.
"Our contract with Arbuckle
expired at the time of this
trouble. Whether this con-
tract will be renewed will de-
pend on the public. The pub
lie makes or breaks all stars.
If the public receives favor
ably the Arbuckle pictures
which we have on hand, one
of which will be released at
once, then we will be ready to
consider the matter of a fu-
ture contract. As far as !
know, Mr.. Arbuckle is not
now under contract with
any motion picture COM
pany."

TWINS BODIES ARE
DIVIDED AND BURNED

Chicago, April 13.-The
strangely welded bodies of
Rosa and Josefa Black, the
"Siamese twins" were sepa-
rated yesterday and burned.
The operation which surgeons
were not allowed to attempt
while the twins lay dying, was
performed by John T. Chrast-
ka, an undertaken, after rela-
tives had abandoned a plan to
return them to Czecho- Slova-
kia in a specially built coffin.
Because the entrance of the
crematory permitted the ad-
mission of only single body
at a time, the bodies of the
twins were placed in separate
coffins. Some time within the
next week the ashes of the
twins, mingled in a single urn
in duplication of their close
association through life, will
be sent back to Prague, their
birthplace.
The twins died March 80,
but disposition of the bodies
was delayed at the request Of
local scientists, who wished to
determine the nature of the
link which bound them. Any
autopsy or postmortem exam
ination of the bodies was for
bidoen by the relatives, howg
ever.
Later Frank Black, brother
Of the twins, telegraphed the
medical authorities at uni
versity in Prague offering to
send the bodies in the interes.
of science if they would be
willing to defray the expense.
The university did not accept
the offer.

It will be remembered that Miss
Pugsley, several months ago, was
denied the privilege of continuing
her term in school due to her failure
to comply with a ruling of the Kno-
bel school board to the effect that
young lady pupils using rouge, face
powder or lip-stiCk methods of ac-
facial charms should be
denied attendance upon the schools
of that city. Miss Pugsley protest

for the school board to say that she
could not use cosmetics or facial

herself to the use of talcum

Trial Began March 6.
The third trial began March 6,
and was marked by the appearance
of approximately 70 witnesses and
the calling of two of the defense
witnesses before the county grand
jury in connection with their tes-
timony The trial was longer than
either of the previous hearings, con-
5uming nearly five weeks.
AS in the previous hearings much
emphasis was placed on expert med
ical testimony regarding the exact
condition of Miss Rappe's bladder,
before and after death. This tes-
timony was based on an autopsy
finding that Miss Rape came to
her death through a rupture. The
prosecution presented a report by
a commission Of three pathologiSts,
appointed at the first trial, purport
ing to show that while the organ
appeared to have been slightly in
flamed, this irregularity did not
predispose it to rupture. The de-
fcnse evidence was to the effect that
Miss Rappe came to her death as
the result of a sudden crisis in a
chronic illness, which led to a rup-
ture.
Witnesses subpoenaed to appear
before the grand jury were: Mrs
Virginia Warren, a nurse, and Mrs
Helen Madeline Whitehurst, both
of Chicago. Mrs. Warren, new
witness, testified she attended Miss
Rappe in hicagO on one occasion
when the girl save birth to a baby
Mrs. Whitehurst repudiated the dep

IN Chicago stating she had seen
Miss Rappe i'll on several occasions
at the girls home. She expressed
belief that the deposition was al
tered after she had signed it, and
it was introduced, into testimony az
an altered document.

Definite Plans of Organization
Entered Upon.
Petitions Will be circulated among
the ex-service men and women ,of
the county for them to sign, signify
ing that they favor a new post. ut
is probable that before d petition
for charter is circulated, efforts
will be made to adjust relations
with the NJ M Eberts Post No. 1
for elimination of factional disputes,
although some of the speakers de
clared that it would be impossible
to remove that condition from Eberts
post 1t was said that political
scheming and intrigue has existed
in the post since its organization,
and that there is no hope that it
will cease.
Say New Post Is Needed.
Speakers at the meeting said that
there are about 5000 eX-service men
in Pulaski county and but one post,
and that many ex-service men have
refused to join the M M Eberts
post because they declared if was
run by peanut politicians" 1t was
said that if these men are given as

to work for the ideals of the legion
without being hampered by local
animosities, they will hasten to af-
filiate with the legion.
Those who signed the petition
yesterday represent all branches of
the Service and all ranks and de-
-grees. Largely they are the older,
conservative men who say they have
no sympathy with efforts to inject
partisan politics and religious preju-
dice into legion meetings. If a new
post is authorized it was announced,
any attempt to stir up factionalism
and local disputes will meet with
strong censure. 1t was declared the
post will be organized solely to aid
disabled men, to uphold the ideals
of the legion as expressed in nation
al and state conventions and to fos-
ter patriotism and Americanism.
