FINCERPRINT HELD
NOT ARBUCKLE'S
Police Evidence Supports
. Defense in Second Trial
At San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24.-The
San Francisco police came to the
aid of Roscoe Arbuckle Tuesday
when the defense opened its case.
Adolph Juel. Of the police bu-
reau of Identification. testified for
the comedian, declaring that the
finger prints on the door of the
hotel room, which the State had
contended were those of Fatty"
and Virginia Rappc. were not Ar
buckles. He also testified that
the woman's finger prints were so
blurred that 1t was impossible to
tell whose they were.
The prosecution has made much
of this finGer-print argument and
il was one of the big reasons
for the disagreement in the first
trial.
The State cross-eXamined Juel
at length but was unable to shake
his testimony.
Following Juel came Kate Bren-
nan. hotel chambermaid. who
frankly resented insinuations by
the prosecution that she did not
scour the door as thoroughly as
she said she did. She had said
that no one could have seen finger
prints on the door OF Arbuckle's
suite after she got through, with
her work.

yesterday. but it went over until
today for general discussion.
1t was hoped that the japanese
delegation might soon receive in
structions dealing with the naval
treaty and as soon as thu, do this
will be disposed of. A plenary ses-
sion could be called within twenty
four hours if the Japanese were
ready to act. 1t was said to be
possible. however. thee their in
structions might not arrive until
all other matters have been set
tied and that. should this be so,
one lengthy session might dispose
of everything.
There will be considerable unfin-
ished business. OF course. that must
go over to another session to meet
possibly a year from now. But this
will be due to the necessity of
sending special committees 20 China
to investigate matters such as oper-
alton of the judicial and postal sys-
TENS and certain tariff problems.

Demand Laundry
Report Its Debts
Claimant for Damaged Lot of
Clothing Asks Writ of
Mandamus.

It's. not the money, it's the prin-
ciple of the matter.
So says Joseph b. Lotion, who de-
scribes himself as a creditor of the
Star Steam Laundry. Inc, in a petit
tion TO the District Supreme Court
yesterday, asking power to look a
the regular report of the company.
Lotion claims the company dam
aged some of his clothing. He doe
not ask damage for the clothing.
but does demand to see the files
the company. which right he says
has been denied him. He claims
this right as an alleged creditor of
the laundry company.
Justice Wendell J.. Stafford di-
rected the laundry company TO ap-
pear on Friday and show cause why
a writ Of mandamus to compel them
to file the regular corporation re-
port as to debts with the recorder

On the question of the manda ated
islands of the Pacific the confer
ence will adopt a resolution at its
next plenary session suggesting
that the United States shall be af-
forded equal opportunity therein
This subject. however. still is under
direct discussion outside of confer
ence circles.
Yesterday Arthur ]. Balfour, for
the British delegation. offered a
resolution which would pronibit the
expectation of arms by any of the
powers into China. His reason as
assigned was that conditions within
China are ripe for revolution and
that it would be a good thing to
agree that weapons should not be
easily obtained. Some of the dele
cations, including Italy, which has
an arms trade with China, were
not instructed on this point. so Mr..
Balfour withdrew his resolution
agreeing to renew IL at a later date
after the delegates represented
have communicated Sgith their gov
ernments and received instructions.

A CORD OF WOOD.

Mr. Washburn our Maine Commissioner
of Agriculture has notified Clarence
Brown, Deputy Sesler of Weights and
Measures to look carefully after the mea-
sure of wood being supplied to purchasers
throughout the state. Mr., Brown will
turn his efforts in that direction for the
present.
AS is well known, the number of cubic
feet required in a cord in the case of four
foot wood before manufacture is one
hundred and twenty eight. The ruling of
the department, has recognized the fact
that there is shrinksge after being fitted
for the stove, and that cord of sawed
wood ready for use may not occupy more
than l13 cubic feet, but at least this
amount will be required in all cases.
The department is inclined to deal severe
ly with any wood dealers who may take
advantage of the present emergency by
giving short measure to their customers.
