SECOND D'FATTY'
TRIAL BEGINS
Venire of Sixty Jurors Called-May
be Several Days Before Jury
Is Completed.

San Francisco, Calf, Jan. Ii
Roscoe C. Arbuckle's second trial
on a charge of manslaughter for
the death of Miss Virginia Rappe,
took the top place on the calendar
today before Superior Judge Har-
old Louderback. The jury in the
first case disagreed.
Attorneys for both defense and
prosecution have expressed the be-
lief that this trial, which is to be
conducted on a grand jury indict-
ment, would be longer thaa the
first one. 1t is expected to develop
into a legal battle between District
Attorney Matthew Brady of San
Francisco county and Gavin NC
Nab, chief of the Arbuckle defense
staff.
A venire of 60 prospective jurors
has been called and several days
are expected to pass before selec-
ton has been completed.
Miss Rappe died, it is alleged, as
a result of injuries inflicted by Ar
buckle at a drinking party staged
last Labor day, Sept. 5. in his rooms
at a hotel here.

Scenario.

Berlin, Jan. 11.-(By the Associ-
ated Press. Munich theatregoers
are still touchy on the subject of
America, it appears from an Incl
dent just reported here.
The Neue Berliner Zeitung tells
how an audience in the Bavarian
capital fairly raised the roof in OBJ
jecting to the American background
and American names being used in
a new theatrical production. They
hooted and hissed and stamped, and
finally the performance was brought
to stop.
The authorities, when the mana
ger was brought before them, for
bade him from producing the play
unless the scenes were placed in
some other country than the United
States. The versatile producer
readily complied and laid his scenes
in the Caucasus.
The name of one character was
changed from Smith" to- ''Smier-
ski" and that of GLADYS Chicago,

grad, millionaire's daughter"

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Motor car
manufacturers are preparing for
big years business and this is be-
ing reflected in the activity in the
steel mills of this district. In
many mills, production has ad-
Vanced to SO per cent. Plants in
South Chicago closed during the
holidays are producing at an in
creased rate and other plants will
resume before Feb /. Railroads
are preparing car orders and this
factor will also tend to increase
demand. The Illinois Central will
place orders for 1000 cars soon
and the Burlington and Union Pa
cific programs provide for expendi-
ture of $4,000 900 each.
The retail shoe dealers now in
convention here declare that a
fourth of their number lost on last
years business. but the delegates
are optimistic for 1922 and are ag-
gressive in determination to secure
new business. The cost of doing
business in shoes last year was 26
per cent Of the net sales, they re-
ported. This is about the same is
it has been for two years past
Prices of shoes are fairly stable
and orders for spring delivery are
good.
Another packing plant has made
an annual report showing a deficit
for 1921. Automobile men agree
with the economists that there is
no such thing as a surplus except
at q price.

and Only Part Time.

Pittsburgh, Jan. 11.-Depressioh
in the coal trade has brought about
privation and destitution among
miners in many places II the Pitts
burgh bituminous district, accord
ing to officials of District Number
Five, United Mine Workers of
America.
In a statement today Robert r.
Gibbons, president of the District
union, said that of approximately
$4,000 miners in the region at a
rough estimate $4,000 had work,
either full time or part time. Many
of this number of miners who are
employed on a tonnage basis. Mr..
Gibbons stated, have worked for
the last year only a day or two a
week, and often only for a half
day a week. Their earnings in these
cases, he said, would not enable
them to meet the bare necessities

Dali REINS
TAKEN OVER
BY GRIFFITH
New Leaders Feel They
Have Backing of Irish
Population.

Dublin, Ireland, Jan. 11-CBy the
Associated Press. ARTHUR Griffith,
new president of the Dali Eireann,
and his cabinet assumed today the
places to which they were elected
yesterday. 1t was recognized that
careful work was necessary if pit
falls were to be avoiGed during the
full month which must elapse be-
fore final ratification of the treaty
creating the Irish Free State was
possible.
On Feb. IA the Dali will recon-
vene to ratify formally the docu-
ment which it approved as the rep
resentative body of the Irish re
public.
With the possibility of the pro-
verbal slip 'twixt cup and lip" was
not ignored, and it was said in
some quarters that the republicans
might use the interval in attempt
ing to turn popular feeling to their
side. Neither had the spectre of
the possible establishment of a
competing executive been wholly
laid.
No ForebOdings.
Meanwhile, no ugly fOrebod1ngS
haunted the new Dali leaders.
They claimed to have assumed their
tasks basked by the utmost good
will of the majority of Ireland s
population. The reported decision
of Great Britain to Iiberate imme-
diately all political prisoners, it
was believed, would strengthen
their hands against any extremist
efforts on this score, and if the
British troops and other signs oi
foreign domination" were rapidly
removed their troubles would be
further lightened.
