Leading in
Final Lap

Lancaster y. H., Feb. 3-Five we'll
matched Eskimo dogs, owned and
driven by Arthur T. Walden of
Wonanlancet, n. H., and five rangy
mongrels, piloted by Jean Lebel of
Bersimes, Quebec. will swing back to
Berlin tomorrow for the last lap of
the 120-mle international dog race.
The American dogs enjoy an ad-
vantage of 20 minutes corrected time
over their Canadian rivals as result
of their hard push over the SO miles
of snowy roads from Colebrook today.
Lebers dogs were first in for the
nights stop but thed had not been
embarrassed before Walden's hus-
kies trotted into the square, just
three minutes behind them. Walden,
starting half an hour after Lebel
this morning, made up 81 minutes on
the trail. Both drivers reported the
going as only fair.
Approximately four hours behind
the leaders-so far as to cause their
driver practically to abandon hopes
of vinning-Jacques Suzanne and
his team from Lake Placlu. ~. l.,
swung into Main street. Suzanne,
his feet bandaged as a result of the
40 miles he tramped yesterday, be-
side his dogs. had tried new
straight line hitch for today's mush
and found the travelling such tam
gle of traces that he was forced to
drop out at North Stratford.
The team that rompcd out of Ber-
lin yesterday in obedience to the
. word of Henri Skene OF LaLoutre,
Quebec, was not in the traces today.
The Canadians dogs were suffering
severely from frost bitten feet sus-
: tanned on the trip overland to Ber-
! lin. These injuries were aggravated
by yesterdays rush of So miles and
Skene withdrew them before the
start this forenoon.
Walden and Lebel brought their
dogs in here in good condition but
Lebels team was carrying on the
sledge the dog that had weakened in
Thursdays trip.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Brandishing a
broom in either hand, striding rapid
ly from one end of the platform to
the other and stamping his feet until
the echoes rang in D. A. r. hall,
where the arms conference meets in
dignified session, Charles G. Dawes,
director of the budget, brought home
to more than a thousand officials as
sembled today in the second business
meeting OF the government the ap-
preparedness of his hell and maria"
nickname. For more than an hour
he poured forth criticism and praise
alike on officials of high and low de-
gree.
Stopping suddenly in the midst of
a citation of instances of lack of CO.
operation by governmental depart
ments with budget bureau co-ordina-
tors. which instances he described as
"fyspecks" on the bureaus record Of
accomplishments, Mr.. Dawes sudden
ly shouted:
Where are those brooms?"
Three brooms were produced. from
under the table by an assistant
This thing" the budget director
exclaimed, pounding the floor with
the handle of one of the brooms, lis
your broom that meets navy spceifi
cations. And here are brooms that do
not meet those specifications, but
sweep just as well. The navy bought
$4,000 of its specificatio brooms
when it could have had $4,000 army
brooms for nothing"
The budget director went on to say
it took a months persuasion to make
the marine corps adopt a slight
change in color in order to use 100, :
| 900 army shirts and save $4,000. He
told Secretary DENLY. however the
record of the navy for cooperation
with the bureau was the best of the
depa rtments.
AS an instance OF cooperation in
the treasury. he declared that when
it was found there were IS different
purchasing agencies in that depart
ment. their coordination was effect
ed without delay.

at another point. and added:

Meet
Arms Group
Due TODAY

Washington, Feb. 3.-(By A. R)-
Except for the formalities and frills
that are to attend it's adjournment
the Washington conference on limita-
ton of armament and Far Eastern
questions Is over.
At plenary session tomorrow the
remaining treaties and resolutions are

delegates are to say goodbye to one
another in speeches expressing the
gratifca ton of their governments over
the conference accomplishments. On
the treaties will be signed and sealed
and President Harding will deliver
the conference valedictory in brief
address.
At the final roundup of the Far
Eastern questions the conference lead
ers decided today to put their resclu-
tons into two Far Eastern treaties
and a number of supplementary reso-
buttons. One of the treaties will deal
with revision OF the chinese ldTlH anu
the other will embody the Root -four
points and the open door policy" Both
will have as signatories all nine of
the powers represented here.
Actual negotiations on the Far
Eastern problems came to an end to-
day with statements delivered in the
Far Eastern committee setting forth
the principle Of the American and
Chinese governments toward the "21
demands" Speaking for China, DR..
Wang said his government viewed with
satisfaction Japan's announcement
yesterdays that Group Five and some
other clauses Of the demand" would

down by Japan in 1915, and there the
discussion ended without action.

Jury Again
Disagrees in
Fatty's Case

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 3.-The
jury in the second trial Of man
slaughter charge against Roscoe c.
Arbuckle decided at the conclusion Of
a 44-hour session that it could not
agree and was discharged today. with
the final ballot standing 10 for con-
viction and two for acquittal.
Arbuckle was accused of having
caused the death Of Miss Virginia
Rape Of Los Angeles. a motion pic
ture actress, who was taken Ill at
drinking party in Arbuckle's suite here
at the Hotel Saint Francis on Labor
Day, 1921. and died four days later.
The case was placed on the calendar
for next Monday to be set for its
third trial. Both prosecution and de-
tense announced they would favor
such trial So sure was the defense
Of it's position in the second trial that
It submitted its case without final ar
gument. This had an effect opposite
from the one intended, according to
Nate Friedman, one of the jurors, in
formal statement.
1--WE thought that when the defense
declined to argue 1t had thrown up
its hands" he said. "The first 10 bal
lots stood nine to three for convic-
ton, and thereafter until the 14th and
final ballot it was 10 to two"
Arbuckle appeared to be somewh It
downcast by the disagreement. Mem
bers Of his family were so visibly
perturbed that 1t was some moments
before they greeted him or his at
torneys after 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
for acquittal.
When the jurors returned to court
today, they looked haggard and worn
and the one woman juror. Mrs. Mary
H. Somers, was visibly nervous. A
crowded court room heard the result.
Gavin McNab, chief counsel for
-Arbuckle, issued the following state
ment:
1.-THE jury in the first trial, on
practically all ballots, stood IL for
acquittal and one alternate for ac-
quitaal and one juryman for convic-
ton. an this trial. on practically all
ballots the jury stood for nine for
conviction and three for acquttai,
with the two altcrnates for acquttal.
"Practically the same evidence was
presented - each jury.
Eve who know that Roscoe Ar
buckle is innocent are confident that
right and truth will finally prevail"
