Defense Attorney Announces
He Will Seek Third Trta!
If No Verdict Is Reached
This Time,
By The Associated Press.)

San Francisco, Calf, Feb. .
The jury in the second trial of n
manslaughter charge against Ros-
coe c. (Fatty) Arbuckle still was
debating for a decision late today,
twenty-four hours after retiring to
deliberate. Some court room spec
ulation said that the alignment
stood seven to five for acquittal
and another prevalent guess was
eight to four in favor of the de-
fendant. In the absence Of any
information from tho we'll guarded
jury room these guesses had no
more weight than the idlest specu-
lation.
Milton NJ. Cohen, Los Angeles, a
member of the defense counsel
staff. said that the defense would
insist on a third trial in the event
Of a disagreement. The district
attorney would make no comment.
The jury deliberation was prov
ing to be somewhat of an endur-
ance contest for the defendant and
spectators appeared jovial and
carefree throughout the day. APP
prOXimatcly half Of the spectators
who had appeared with the jury
when it first returned from its hO-
tel today, stayed throughout the
day. The others disappeared, con-
! tent that no verdict would be re-
turned until tonight at least.
At times the court room took on
some of the atmosphere of a social
gathering with spectators, court
Officers and counsel chatting
among each other in q disinterest-
ed, care free manner. There was
no evidence Of the strain or ten
sion which characterized the long
/ jury debate in the last trial
The Jury was heard from but
/ once during the morning and af-
ternOon. This was when it asked
for a complete transcript of the
trial on the ground that the jurors
wished to refresh their recollection
on certain points. 1t was complied
with without the appearance of the
| jury in court, 1t indicated a long
session according to the court 2
! ficers and counsel familiar with
such requests.
At $3.50 p, m. the jury was locked
! up for the night on account of a
slight attack Of illness suffered by
Juror Lee DOlson. The jury has
been out nearly thirty hours. IT
will return to court at a. m. to-
! morrow.

SCHOOL MAY Be FORCED TO
CLOSE; Library OF 5000
" VOLUMES LOST; RECORDS SAFE
Fine Collection of Archaeological Specimens
Given By Frank Springer Destroyed; Poor
Water Pressure Aids Spread of Flames;
Blaze Originates Near Chemistry Laboratory

East Las Vegas. n. M, Feb .
Fire which probably originated
from defective flue above the
chemistry laboratory has wiped
out the interior of the main build
ing Of the New Mexico Normal
university located here. The loss is
estimated at close to $150,0O0, of
which 100000 is covered by in
surance.
SO thoroughly have the flames
swept everything berore them that
it is possible that the institution
may be forced to close for the bal
ance Of the school year. President
Jonathan Fl. Wagner was unable to
make a definite statement tonight.
The office records Of the school
have been saved.
The fire started at 1890 p. m.
The fourth floor was burning rap
idly when the fighting equipment
arrived. Water pressure was in
sufficient to combat the flames
successfully and the blaze pressed
steadily down the building.
While a group of workers were
fighting the flames, the ceiling Of
the fourth floor dropped, catching
n few Of them. Policeman Bright
Nagley was knocked down and
slightly injured but firemen sue
ceeded in rescuing him from the
debris.
As the fire crept down into the
building it burned the main library
of the institution. containing 5000
volumes of reference works. The
strength of the flames had abated
somewhat when the second floor
was reached. The stone walls are
still standing but the interior OF
the building is undoubtedly a total
loss.
When President Wagner took
charge Of the institution last sum
mer he had the building appraised
and added several thousands to the
insurance policies covering IT. The
result will be that the 100000 in
policies extant may cover the great
pulll OF the loss

adoption of the Far Eastern treat
les.
Consideration Of the twenty
demands" the last topic remaining
on the Far Eastern agenda, began
in the Far Eastern committee after
hope of an adjustment of the
Chinese Eastern railway situation
had been abandoned and a resolu-
ton adopted merely declaring ar
rangements for "better protection"
of the road should be worked out
in the near future through diplo-
matte channels. The powers other
than China appended joint declar-
.ation of China's responsibility for
fulfillment of her obligations to
foreign stockholders Of the road.
Japan's statement on the de
mands' was presented by Baron
|Shidahara, who argued that the
IChinese request for abrogation of
the treaties and agreements result
ing from the 1916 program could
not be supported by a plea of in
validity, because the agreements
made were entered into by China
in the exercise of her full powers as
a sovereign state. To question treat
les because they were made under
duress, he said, would be to Chal-
lenge the validity of many of the
most important existing interna-
tional copcords throughout the
world. He excused the delivery of
an ultimatum to China, just before
her partial acceptance of the de
mandSr as an exDedient tO bring
the prolonged negotiations to an
end.
Three concessions were an
nounced by Baron Shidehara, one
relating to group five and the
others to the situation in Man
churia and Mongolia. Japan was
ready, he said, to withdraw the re-
servations attached to the Chinese
japanese treaty of 1915, under
which she retained the right to
press further In the future the un-
accepted group five, One of the
ther conclusions will open up south
Manchuria and eastern inner Mon
golia to the international consor-
tium and the other asserts Japan
has no intention of insisting that
Japan advisers be employed in
these territories in political, finan-
cial, military or police matters.
The famous group FIVE. thus cast
into the discard after It had been
the center of the demands" con-
troversy for six years, would have
required China to employ Japan
political. financial and military d.
visers in her central government.

lowing:
THAT the assessment of 1921 is
very unfair and unequal, for one
reason that a great number of per-
sons whose political views were
not in sympathy with the present
administration, were assessed
higher than usual and were as
sessed property which they do not
possess, and also were raised in
some of the property to an un-
reasonable high valuation, while
others, whose political views were
in sympathy with the admirlstra-
ton were lowered in their valua-
ton to a valuation that is unreas-
ably low.
For example Mr.. Zenobto Sala-
gar and Mr.. Patricio Sanchez, were
assessed each a Chevrolet automo-
bile. Baby automobile has been
assessed each at $970 while 9TH
ers of the same kind and with less
use have been assessed at $40.

bile has been assessed at 5000,
