Hays Final Word on
Arbuckle ''PardOn" is
"Let Public Judge"

New York, Jan. 5.-Will H. Hays.
president of the National Picture
Producers and Distributors of Ameri-
ca. Inc. today issued what he termed
his final word on the case of Roscoe
c. (Fatty) Arbuckle.
Mr.. Hays statement was issued
after long conference yesterday
with his commi ttee on public r,:ia-
tons. concerning the status of the
comedy star. who was banned from
the screen after the sensational death
of Virginia Rape, screen actress, at
a drinking party in San Francisco.
Mr.. Hays expressed the belief that
Arbuckle should have chance to
make good" after he had been ac-
quilted of charge of Staying her.
His "fnar' statement follows:
"All suggestions which have been
received from all viewpoints and
they are many and varied. will be
referred to the proper parties. This
is the kind of question that must
be left finally to the judgment of the
public on the one hand and on the
other hand to those who have rusi-
ness associations with the individ-
ual and the individual himself. I
have removed the artificial situation
OF one man being, or appearing to he,

one hundred and ten million people.

Washington Sidesteps

Washington, Jan. 5.-The WASH
ington government is awaiting de-
velopments in the reparations crisis.
1t sees no present opportunity to
make help available to Europe.
This was the substance of authori-
tative glimpses of the situation given
today both at the White House and
at the State Department. 1t was
said fatty at the White House the
administration had no plan at this
time for calling an international
conference. At the State Depart
ment, 1t was said with equal en-
phasis that the American govern
ment could not properly go beyond
what it has aalready in Secretary
Hughes suggestion that information
al leaders be asked to propose a rep
arations solution.
That suggestion, made in Mr..
Hughes recent speech at New
Haven, still is before the Allied gov
ernments. 1t was intimated today
that Washington officials were with
out knowledge as to whether the
French authorities were inclined to
take it up and develop it's possieiii-

Admit Investigation

New York, Jan. 5.-Government
officials today frankly admitted they
were investigating reports that Rus
sion crown jewels to the value of
s4,000,000 had been smuggled into
this country in the coffin of an
American soldier and buried in the
National cemetery in Brooklyn.
While authorities in Washington
continued to disclaim official knowl-
edge of previous efforts to locate the
jewels in the Brooklyn grave, as set
forth yesterday in copyrighted
story published by the Chicago Daily
News, it was announced both here
and in Washington that the story

Britain to Await
Independent Action
French Government

London Jan. 5.--(By the A. P)-The
British government clearly intends to
do nothing to hurry or force the situa-
ton produced by the breakdown in the
Paris conference of the premiers on
the question of reparations.
Andrew Bonar Law, the British
prime minister, returning to his Off
cial home in Downing street from
Paris, contented himself with stating
that he had said all he desired to say
about the conference before he left
Paris.
Nothing can usefully be said at the
present moment about the Paris con-
ference on it's result" he declared as he
alighted from his train.
Likewise the other British officials
who Travelled with the premier were
reticent. although several of them did
assert that Great Britain would wait
for France to take the initiative in her
Independent policy against Germany
on reparations. The premier gave no
intimation that a cabinet meeting
would be called for tomorrow to dis
cuss the trend of events.

ALICE GLASS MFRS.
PLANNED RESTRAINT
Of TRADE PRODUCT

Washington, Jan. 5.-The indict-
ment of 16 men. composing the wage
committees of the National Associa-
ton OF Window Glass Manufacturers
and Window Glass Workers and the
application for an Injunction re-
straining these committees and the
companies they represented from
putting into effect a wage contract
agreement, was necessary, according
to government officials to prevent
''irreparable injury" to the industry
and to the public.
According to information in the
hands of the Department of Justice
and which was laid before Judge
Killits. in support of the petition, the
two committees would have met at
Cleveland tomorrow to make effect
i've an agreement which would have
bound certain specified companies to
closa their plants for extended Pc
riodA in order to curtail production,
and thus maintain prices.
The one hundred concerns named
in the restraining order, according
to the petition. control the hand
blown glass industry of the United
States. Their alleged agreement to
act in concert to hold down pro-
duction was declared by the govern
ment to have already resulted in
substantial curtailment" of window
glass production, suppression of
competition among the producers
and material restraint of trade in
that commodity.
Attorney General Daugherty de-
clared today the departments action
was directed as much toward the
benefit of the workmen in the in
dustry as to that of the public and
Of manufacturers who were opposed
to letting their plants remain idle.
The force in the closing of many
factories. which was asserted to have
been scheduled for Jan. q, would
have forced thousands of men to
seek employment in other channels,
it was declared, and would have
penalized those companies which de-
sired to continue operations.
The department was advised that
Judge Killits had issued subpoenas
against all. officers and directors OF
the national association. officials of
the National Window Glass Work
ers and members of their wage COM
missions in connection with the
hearing on the motion to make the
restraining order permanent. In ad-
dition, but Is manufacturers with
plants scattered throughout the
country will be summoned to answer
the allegations made in the govern
ments petition.

Denies Motion to
Dismiss Shop Crafts
Injunction and Suit

Chicago, Jan. 5-Federal Judge
Wilkerson in United States district
court today denied the motion of
counsel for the Federated Railway
Shop Crafts to dismiss the injunc-
ton and the suit in equity alleging a
conspiracy to interfere with inter-
state railway traffic through the
shopmen's strike, but granted the
shop crafts motion for trial in open

directing that a special examiner
take evidence in the suit in various
cities throughout the country. This
was followed by the granting Of trial
in open court and the date set for
May 2.

a jury trial of the case was reserved
by the court until the calling Of the
trial. The court in its decision deny
ing the motion to dismiss the pre-
liminary injunction against the Fed

France t6 Move Cautiously

Paris, Jan. Shy A. P.)-France
and her remaining allies. Italy and
Belgium, have abandoned any idea
of hasty entrance into the Ruhr
region of Germany. and tonight have
settled back carefully to plan their
coercive action against Germany.
There seemed little likelihood after
today's conference that any civil or
military movements into Westphalia
would be undertaken until after Jan.
lis.
Germany on that date, it is taken
for granted, will default on the $780,
100000 gold marks due under the
old schedule of payments suspended
during 1922.
American suggestions, it is felt
here, would have ample time to be
presented to M. Poincare before he
finally gives marching orders to en-
gineers and customs officers and
their military escort, whether the
latter is to be merely a guard or an
army.
WASHINGTON dispatches inspire a
certain amount of hope that Presi-
dent Harding may offer some plan
which would forestall independent
action by France. 1t was learned in
TN authoritative source today, how
ever, that American officials in
