WELL. HAT OVER.

Fatty Arbuckle has been acquitted and endors-
cd by the jury which sat on his case at his third
trial on the charge of manslaughfer: 1t is at least
gratifying to know that the case is disposed of final
ly. 1t has not been inspiring and most newspapers
would hive preferred to forget it. Because OF the
peculiar circumstances surrounding the man chiefly
involved, the fact that he was charged with a felony
could not be ignored. ~
Arbuckle has been declared innocent OF any
criminal act. The jury listened to a great volume Of
evidence which, in the very nature of the case, could
not be presented to the public. To quarrel with the
verdict would be to jump at conclusions from en-
tirely inadequate data. The findings of the jury
must be accepted as probably in accord with the
evidence introduced at the trial.
The public, however, has an interest in this case
apart from the particular charge made against the
defendant. This man has been for some time a very
prominent entertainer. Through the medium OF the
motion picture his comedy has been presented dali
ly to hundreds of thousands of people, old and
young. AS with the baseball player, and in even
greater degree, the movie actor is a hero to those
who enjoy his work. His admirers like to become
personally acquainted with him, to learn of his pri-
vate life, his whims and hobbies, and to follow his
adventures away from the mimic world of screen
life.
The personal conduct of the actor, and especial
ly of the movie actor, is therefore something in
WHICH the, public has a legitimate interest, because
companion of youth. The adult may admire the
art of a reprobate, but the distinctions which the
adult makes in doing this are not made by the
younger and immature, These latter, if they adj
mire the screen picture, glorify the actor who posed
for the picture. -
The facts which have been brought out over
and over again in the three .Arbuckle trials show
that this man is a dissolute character who mingled
freely and habitually with people of his own stripe;
that in the group to which he belonged disgraceful
debauches were frequent and ordinary occurrences
and his callousness and selfishness are shown in the
indifference with which he left to a life of hardship
and poverty the woman who had been a mother to
him in his childhood, while re- rolled in wealth and
reveled III disreputable a~lnusements.
The people who control the moving picture in
dustry withdrew Arbuckle pictures from exhibition
pending this trial because of the universal feeling
that if he were guilty of the offense charged the
presentation of his pictures would be an offense
against common decency. He has not been con-
victed Of that particular offense, but he has been
shown to be a thoroughly undesirable character,
and the objections to his further appearance. as a
public entertainer have not been removed or miti-
gated in the slightest degree.

WOMEN CRUSHED
in RUN ON BANK
DepOsitors of Chicago Bank Are Paid

Chicago. Several women were
crushed and trampled in scramble
of depositors of the Northwestern
Trust and Savings bank on the north
west side of Chicago, in attempting to
enter the bank this morning. Their
injuries and fear of hundreds of other
depositors were the result of false ru-
mors concerning the banks official
strength.
Bank Noficials were paying money as
fast as the depositors could be served.
The bank was declared by bank ex,
aminers as "the strongest in Chicago"
in proportion to it's size,
A crowd of depositors gathered in
front of the bank last night. There
were angry demonstrations and sew
eral persons were in danger Of injury
until police arrived. Mr.. Smulski,
president of the bank, informed the
throng the bank was safe and that all
of them who desired could have their
money in the morning.

BONUS BILL ACTION
NOW UP TO SENATE,
House Passes Bill BY Overwhelming
Majority After Whole Day of
Speech Making.
(By Associated Pres Leased wire,

Washington.-Passed by the house
late yesterday by vote of 333 to 10,
the soldier bonus bill was made ready
today for the senate. What would
happen to it there was regarded as
problematical, but house proponents
proposed to use every effort to prevent
it from being shelved as was the or
iginal measure. In the long debate
which preceded the final vote in the
house some speakers predicted that the
senate would kill the bill while others
apparently were not over-optimistic as
to the chances of its passage in its
present form. Whatever it's ultimate
fate, it appeared fairly certain that
the bill would slumber for quite a
while at the other end of the capitol
where already the calendar is longest
bills with the permanent tariff bill yet
to be reported.s
There were those who believed that
the senate finance committee, to which
the bill would be referred, would make
sharp changes in it. Some administra-
ton officers were known to look to the
senate to pass measure providing
means for financing the bonus but they
were not prepared to predict whether
the means would be taxes or the use
Of foreign bonds.
President Harding has been repre-
sented as looking with favor on the
financing of the legislation with re-
funded foreign bonds provided they
were on hand before the bill was
passed. While the measure was in the
making by the house ways and means
committee, the executive, according to
some members of that committee, sug-
gested delay Of 80 days in the belief
that the treasury would by then be in
possession Of some Of the British
bonds.
There was some discussion in the
house yesterday as to whether the
president would approve the bill in it's
present form with conflict IN the
opinions expressed. Representative
Longworth of Ohio, Republican, said
that while he would not presume to
speak for the executive he had reason
to believe that Harding would sign the
house measure if it reached him with
out change. On the other hand, Repre-
sentative Snyder of New York, Repub-
lican, who said he had talked with Mr..
Harding last week, declared he would
be exceedingly surprised if the execu-
tive signed it.

GIVE KENOSHANS
ONE YEAR EACH
Hugo Lencioni and Emil
Wanatka Are Sentenced
in Chicago.
CAUGHT IN AUTO Ring

$50 10. .e 5
Kenosha continued to be in the lime
light as the center of the operations
of the Chicago Kenosha automobile
theft ring when the curtain was rung
down on the cleanup of the ring in
the federal court in Chicago today
when Hugo Lencioni, former owner of
the Blue Cab taxi line in this city, and
Emil Wanatka, recently released here
after being held here on the alleged
charge of numbering Charles Pacini.
were sentenced to serve one year each
in county jails on charges of violating
the Dyer act prohibiting interstate
transportation of stolen automobiles.
Lencioni, who was tried and convicted
on one count and pleaded guilty on an
other, was sentenced to serve his year
in the county Jail at Waukegan.
Wanatka is sentenced to the Wheaton,
Illinois, jail.
Four men in ali were sentenced by
Judge Carpenter this morning. In ad-
dition to the two Kenoshans John Cal
houn and Frank Mccain were each
sentenced to serve eighteen months at
the federal penitentiary at Leaven-
worth, Kansas.
Wanatka, worn out by the strain Of
his hearing in Kenosha, had told
friends here that he would not at
tempt to fight the charges in Chicago,
He was in Kenosha on Thursday and
informed his friends that he would
plead guilty and that he expected a
sentence of ninety days. This morn
ing he entered plea Of guilty. He
showed considerable dismay when the
court handed down a sentence of a
year.
Wanatka was alleged to have been
the leader of band of twenty men,
who stole and disposed of automobiles
in Chicago and Kenosha. Seven mem
bers of the band pleaded guilty; five
others pleaded not guilty and were
dismissed; eight were found guilty by
juries in previous trials.
Another Kenoshan Cleared.
Among the Kenoshans who were ar
rested in connection with the opera
tions of the ring was Louis Stella
who on Thursday was released when
the charges against him were dropped
on the grounds of insufficient evidence
Michael Lencioni, brother of Huge
Lencioni, was also arrested and sub
sequently released for the same rea.
son. Albert Brankow and Fritz Rudy
were also charged with being members
of the gang but were acquitted after
trial in the federal court.
Adclph Stein, of Kenosha, one of the
men alleged to have been "the brains
Of the ring" entered plea Of guilty
to the charge and is still awaiting SEN
tence.

and it is now found that it costs Mil
waukee county $3.50 week to support
a prisoner in the house of correction.
So Right to Terminate Contract.
The price named in the contract
made with the. Kenosha county board
was $500 week. The formal resolu-
tion Of the Milwaukee county board
terminating tho contract declares that
the actual cost of the board Of inmates
of the institution is $3.50 week and
that this does not set aside anything
for the interest on the county's invest
ment or for depreciation. Kenosha
county has, no comeback to the order
terminating the contract as it was a
part of the contract some four months
ago that it could be terminated by
either party on giving due notice to
the other, 1t is admitted that the Ke-
nosha county supervisors will not be
greatly wrought up over the action OF
Milwaukee county and some Of the SUI
pervisors admitted this morning that
they welcomed the formal action by
the Milwaukee county board.
~Boysv Not Coming Home.
The termination of the contract does
not mean that the men from Kenosha
county, now serving terms in the house
Of correction, are coming back home
or that they will be transferred to the
Kenosha county Jail. The contract
strictly provides that all men now con-
fined in the institution will serve out
their terms there at the contract rate
of So week and Milwaukee county
will carry out it's part of the contract.
The order from Milwaukee suggests
that the Milwaukee board will be will
ing to make new contract with Keno
sha county for the care of prisoners,
but the new contract must provide a
weekly rate of at leasta $780, It was
said that the Milwaukee county board
would waive depreciation and interest
on investment and take the prisoners
at $3.50. This is the rate which was
recently set in contract made between
Milwaukee and Racine counties.
Affects Municipal Court Most.
The action Of the Milwaukee county
board will bring new problem for
Judge Slater in the municipal court.
He has many cases pending which on
the face Of them promise to furnish
prison sentences. If all of the defend
ants in such cases should be sentenced
there would be no room to keep the
cat at the county jail. Every cell and
every bedroom would be filled and the
sheriff and his family might have to
work out a roof garden home.
IL don't know anything about it,"
said Judge Slater this morning. "It is
up to the county board to work out the
place to put 'em. That isn't any of
my business. All have to do is to
hear the cases and seek to mete out a
punishment in keeping with the offense
as proved"
The termination of the contract will
come formally before the county board
at its meeting week from next Tues
day and it is expected that the board
will simply declare the contract ter
minated and let it go at that, with the
understanding that future demands of
the county will be worked out when
they appear most emphatic.
