Withdrawals ARE
FORBIDDEN BY COURT
Taking of Liquor From U. S
Warehouses for Personal
Use Barred

Washington. - Intoxicating liquors,
stored in government bonded ware
houses, cannot be withdrawn by the
owners for their own personal use,
the Supreme Court held in a decision
delivered by Justice McKenna, and
dissented to by Justice McReynolds.
Such liquor can only be transported
from the bonded warehouses, Justice
McKenna stated, ito a wholesale
druggist for sale to him for purposes
not prohibited"
The court in a previous decision
held that owners could withdraw
from private warehouses liquor for
their own consumption or for the use
of their family or their bona-fide
guests. The new ruling marks a wide
distinction between private and bond
ed warehouses.
Justice McKenna on this point said
that mere ownership was not the
equivalent to possession, and declar-
ed that under the Volstead law, there
must be ownership. and possession in
ones private dwelling, and that char
acter cannot be assigned to the bond
ed warehouses of the government. ="
The case before the court did not, he
said, have the effect Of depriving
those who held warehouse certificates
OF their property without due process
Of law. nor did it amount, he added,
to the taking Of private property for
public purposes without just compen-
sation.
Referring to that part of the law
which permits one to use lawfully OBJ
tanned liquor in his home, Justice Nc
Kenna asserted this right cannot be
construed to extend Ito liquors not so
situated, or to put it more pointedly,
an intention to make outbuildings of
all bonded warehouses of the coun-
try"

ARBUCKLE JURY
AGAIN DISACREES
Final Ballot Stands Ten For
Conviction Against Two
For Acquittal
THIRD TRIAL AGREED UPON
Panel is Discharged After a. Hours
of Deadlocked DeIiberation-Wa
Out One Hour Longer Than
the Actors First Jury.

San Francisco. - The jury. in the
second trial of a manslaughter charge
against Roscoe c. Arbucl1le decided at
the conclusion of 44-hour session
that it would not agree, and was dis
charged with the final ballot standing
10 for conviction to two for acquittal
The case was placed on the calen-
dar to be set for its third trial. Both
prosecution and defense announced
that they would favor such trial. So
sure was the defense of it's position
in the second trial that it had sub
mitted it's case without final argu-
ments. This had an effect opposite
from the one intended, according to
Nate Friedman, one of the jurors, in
formal statement
I'VE thought that when the defense
declined to argue it had thrown up
its hands," he said. THE first 10 bal
lots stood nine to three for convic-
tion, and thereafter until the four
teenth and final ballot, it was 10 to
@"
Arbuckle appeared to be downcast
by the disagreement Members of
his family were so visibly perturbed
that it was some moments before
they greeted him or his attorneys aft
er the result was known.
The jury was out one hour longer
than the jury in the first trial, which
had announced a final ballot of 10 to
2, for acquittal
When the jurors returned to court
they looked haggard and worn, and
the woman juror, Mrs. Mary H Som.
ers, was visibly nervous. A crowded
courtroom heard the result
I'm spite of my own personal con
viction it 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 an acquittal, 1 would have
asked for a dismissal. AS the jury
stoody 10 for conviction to two for
acquittal, it is manifestly my duty to
try the case again"

MOVIE CATASTROPHE
AT WASHINGTON, D. C.
Hundreds of People Are Buried
Under WreCkage AS Snow
Causes Roof to Fall

Washington.-One hundred and five
were killed and $50 injured when the
roof of the Knickerbocker motion pic
ture theater at Eighteenth street, N
W., and Columbia road, collapsed un.
der the weight of snow.
Many women and children who es-
capped ran screaming into the street
and several tainted while the injured
were removed on stretchers and taken
in ambulances to hospitals, private
homes and nearby clubs
The theater, which accommodated
close to 1000, was said to be com
fortably filled at the time and the
roof as it fell imprisoned many under
the mass of wreckage, the balcony
collapsing also while concrete pillars
fell over to add their weight to the
debris under which the wounded lay
groaning.
Get Rich Quick Wallingford" was
being shown and the second show of
the evening had just begun when the
roof crashed.
Police, firemen and volunteers were
assisted in the work of rescue by ma
rines who have been stationed here
during the armament conference. They
worked also in imminent danger of
the walls collapsing on them. While
they worked relatives of those who
bad been at the performance, stood
bareheaded in the snow fearfully
awaiting word of their loved ones.
No warning was given as the walls
crashed, the roof breaking in on the
heads of the audience with a noise
like thunder and crashing seats and
occupants as it fell. 1t was more
than an hour before the rescuers u.s.
ing gas torches to cut through the
accumulated mass Of steel and con-
crete reached the section where most
Of the dead and injured were.
The roof fell with such force as to
drive three concrete pillars through
the orchestra floor. Up near the
stage, however, it's force was arrest
ed, so that the platform successfully
acted as a buffer
Although the snow, which is said
to have been responsible, stopped
falling, the thick blanket covering ell
out OF doors to a depth of nearly three
feet greatly hampered the relief work
made necessary by the accident.

ARMS PARLEY
APPROVES PACT
Two Big Treaties Are Publicly
Announced at Plenary Ses-
sion of Conference
NAVAL LIMITATION is FIXED
Restriction Of Submarines and Poison
Gas-Mr. Hughes Says No More
Extraordinary or Significant
Treaty Ever Entered Into.

Washington, ID. C.-The Washington
negotiations for the limitation of ar
mament reached their consummation
when a plenary session of the arms
conference gave definite and public
approval to the two treaties limiting
navies and restricting the use of new
agencies of warfare
One of the covenants thus sealed
after II weeks of debate, establishes
a fixed ratio of capital ship strength
between the five great powers, and
The other pledges them against unre-
tr,cted submarine warfare and use OF
poison gas.
In speaking of the naval treaty,
Secretary Hughes said:
NO more extraordinary or signifi-
cant treaty has ever been entered
into. 1t is extraordinary because we
no longer merely talk of the desira-
bility of diminishing the burdens of
naval ornaments, but we actually
limit them. 1t is extraordinary be-
cause this limitation is effected in
that field in which nations have been
most jealous of their power, and in
which they have hitherto been dis
posed to resent any interference with
their power.
Il shall not enlarge upon the signifi.
cance of the engagement. OF course,
it is obvious that it means an enor
nous saving of money and the lifting
of the heavy and unnecessary burden
from the peoples of the countries who
unite in this agreement.
This treaty ends. absolutely ends,
the race in competition in naval ar
mament At the same time it leaves
the relative security of the great
naval powers unimpaired.
"In this treaty we are talking of
arms in the language of peace. The
best thing about the engagement is
the spirit which has been manifested
throughout our negotiations and to
which is due our ability to reach this
fortunate conclusion. In other words
we are taking perhaps the greatest
forward step to establish the reign
OF peace"
