Friends of Roscoe Fatty" Ar
buckle. the fat funny man who
started in silent pictures at SO a
day and became a world-famed
comedian, mourned his death to-
day.
These friends had rejoiced the
past year over Arbuckle's slow
climb back up the ladder of film
fame from which he fell IL years
ago when. at the height of his
popularity, he was accused of the
death of beautiful Virginia Rape
in a San Francisco hotel.
Arbuckle won a court acquittal
at the trial, but failed to exoner-
ate himself in the eyes of the pub
lie, and retired from the screen.
His great fortune, amassed in
series of screen successes,
dWindled. He was entertainer in
Hollywood and Chicago cafes,
managed a cabaret here, and did
other work. But none brought
fame and money he had won in
silent motion pictures that in
cluded "BreWster's Millions" and
"The Life of the Party"
Finally he eSSayed the direction
Of motion pictures under an as
Sumed name, William Woodwork,
made a years tour of theatrical
circuit under his own name, and
last year signed a contract with
Warner Brothers studio to act IN

FUSION DUE
# ALL NATIONS
DROP COLD
Officials See Move to Force
U. S. to Agree to Temporary
Sterilization
BY International News Service

If all countries abandoned the
gold standard, the international
moneary system would be plunged
into a state of widest confusion,
according to financial experts Of
the Government today.
Without a measuring unit for
any exchange, the world would be
without knowledge of the ratio
Of any currency to another cur
rency, a situation that probably
would produce widespread specu-
lation.
With indications from the Lon
don conference that France, Italy,
and the other gold standard
countries are becoming panicky
with hints of abandonment, Of
ficials here thought this might
be a move to force the United
States to agree to stabilization.
So far as could be learned, how
ever, there was no disposition on
the part Of the Administration to
change its policy of refusing to
join in a temporary StabiliZation.
Experts expressed the belief
that should the countries go off
gold, England might be forced
back on the standard to protect
her interests in foreign trade.
Great Britain, a leading foreign
trade nation, might have more
to lose by monetary chaos than
any other country. United States
also would be loser, having ex-
tensive foreign markets and draw
ing on countries abroad for a
vast amount of raw materials.
