Commission, Peter Stadtmuller, one of the lieutenants of Robert B. Brindell, the former building trades labor boss, was released from Black- well's Island yesterday. Stadtmuller had served three of the six months' sentence imposed by Justice McAvoy after his conviction on a charge of extortion. Stadtmuller was taken to the Munic¬ ipal Striding yesterday morning, where the parole papers were made out and he was released. Accompanied by hia brother, John Stadtmuller, the 'former walking del¬ egate went to the office of his attorney, Andrew F. Murray, at 50 Church Street. Murray is an old friend of Stadtmuller and his brother, having known them riaring his five years of service as Assemblyman. Stadtmuller said he was going out to look for a job. but beyond that had nothing to say. He is a car¬ penter by trade and was foreman of a squad of carpenters during his term. Silent on Labor Question Stadtmuller would not answer a ques¬ tion as to whether he thought he would have trouble with the Building Trades Council, saying that ho was not famil¬ iar enough with conditions at present to be able to discuss them. From his lawyer's office StadtmuUrr went to the Hospital for Kuptured and Cripph-d, where bis mother, eighty years old. is recovering from injuries suffered in a fall. He then wont to his home atr106 East 176th Street. Attorney Murray said that Stadtmul¬ ler, so far as he knew, was without funds, and that while lie was im¬ prisoned his children had obtained efn- ployment by which they supported themselves. Regarding the two indict¬ ments still pending against Stadtmul¬ ler, Mr. Murray said he would make a motion that they be dismissed in a few days, and that he expected the motions would be granted without op¬ position. McAvoy Urged Reduction of Term Eli Neumann, of the Parole Commis¬ sion, said that there had been no de¬ lay in Stadtmuller's release. In ap¬ proving the six months' sentence, he said, Justice McAvoy. in a letter to the commission, remarked that he never¬ theless would recommend a reduction to three months, because of the as¬ sistance Stadtmuller had given the pTosecution and the premises that had been made to him. The Parole Commission at first re¬ duced the sentence to five months, but upon the plea of Special Deputy At¬ torney General Stanley L. Richter took off two more months, making the term three. Stadtmuller was charged with having collected graft money for Brindell from contractors. He was convicted on June 13 last. Coal Miners Want Gary Summoned at Inquiry Suggest Heads of Roads Allied With Steel Corporation Also Testify CHARLESTON, W. Va.. Sept. 16 . Officials of District 17, United Mine Workers of America, in a communica¬ tion sent to-day to Senator Kenyon, chairman of the Senate committee in¬ vestigating conditions in the southern West Viri'inia coal fields, suggested that Elbert Gary, of the United States Steel Corporation, should be among the witnesses called in the proposed ex¬ tended investigation of the situation. William Petry, vice-president of Dis¬ trict 17, and Harold W. Houston, coun¬ sel for the union, in the communication requested also that the committee call as witnesses "the heads of the railroad interests allied with the steel corpora¬ tion, particularly W. W. Atterbury, vice-president of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Apart from Mr. Gary and Mr. Atter¬ bury, the miners' officials asked that among those who should be summoned before the committee were Attorney General England of West Virginia, former Governor Henry D. Hatfield, Thomas L. Felts, general manager of the Baidwin-Felts Detective Agency; Sheriff Bill Hatfield, of McDowell County; Sheriff Don Chafin, of Logan County, F C. Ogden. of the Wheeling, W.

Federal Hearing To Be Held on Packers' Decree Modification of Ruling Will Not Be Asked Until After Conference WASHINGTON, Sept. 16..Decision on the question of the government ask¬ ing for a modification of the big live packers' decree in connection with the operation of transportation facilities will await a hearing to be given all the interested parties, it was said offi¬ cially to-day at the Department of Justice. On petition from Western fruit in¬ terests, the department has been con¬ sidering applying to the District Su¬ preme Court for a modification of the consent decree, under which the pack¬ ers are to divorce themselves from their subsidiary properties to enable them to continue the transportation of fruit commodities in their cars.

Pay of One Man Ties Up Mines on Howat Order PITTSBURG, Kan., Sept. -16..A strike of .'.00 coal miners employed by the Spencer-Newlands Coal Com ¡any at two mines, ordered by President Al¬ exander Howat and the district board of the Kansas miners' union, went into effect to-day. A dispute over the pay of a black¬ smith was the cause, it was announced at the union headquarters. The order was issued and put into effect on the eve of the departure of Howat and the Kansas delegation to the international convention of the United Mine Workers, which is to be¬ gin at Indianapolis Tuesday. "The Kansas Industrial Court will receive no consideration in this mat¬ ter at all," Howat said. It was announced that unless the com nan y settled the dispute over the blacksmith by Monday 300 more miners would be called out. ¦ Women Vigilantes Lead War on Debaucheries of Screen Stars __ Picture Makers a\lso See Need of Cleaning House if Public Is Not To Be Alienated by Revela¬ tions Following Arbuckle "Party" Spcetnl Dispatch to The Tribune LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16..The Rappe tragedy has brought to a climax af- fairs in the motion picture colonies which have long been calling for re- strictivc attention. Men and women watching the trend of affairs have been predicting that some one of the orgies staged by certain stars would end just as Roscoe Arbuckle's party resulted for Virginia Rappe. The Women's Vigilance League has taken a decided stand on the proposi¬ tion of cleaning up the motion picture industry and making impossible the wild night scenes and drunken de¬ bauchery that have marked some of these "parties." The best element in the screen business itself also sees a golden opportunity to institute some reforms urgently needed, while publiée attention is focused on the sorry fate of Miss Rappe. The manufacturers realize that the public wili not patron¬ ize pictures in which principals who have figured in debaunches are shown. That is, the stars must be reasonably clean and decent in their personal life, or thoir usefulness as motion picture attractions ends at once. \iquor Plentiful and Easy to Ge* Heretofore these orgies h.nve been fairly well covered up. It is admitted they were frequent. As a rule, they were held in the homes of the stars or in the home of some friends. It was only the cheaper actors and actresses of the "piker" variety who staged their revels in the hotels and public places. These latter, generally, were tame affaira as compared with the "house parties" put on at some of the magnificent homes where all details could be readily suppressed. Liqum was always plentiful. California has not taken kindly to the Eighteentn Amendment, and there ha?, never been any trouble in obtaining an unlimited supply of wet goods. This was proved to the satisfaction of everybody during the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco. California prides itself upon its open-handed hospitality, and if a guest desires hard liquor it must, be forthcoming, regardless of any laws. The Golden State makes its own laws. In announcing its determination to Weeks to Hear Ford's Muscle Shoals Plans Army Engineers To Be Present When Technical Experts Call Monday on Secretary From, The Tribune's Washinaton Bureau WASHINGTON, Sept. 16..Engineers and waterpower experts representing Henry Ford will confer with Secretary of War Weeks and army engineers Monday on the details of the offer made by the Detroit manufacturer for the Muscle Shoals nitrate and water- power properties, Mr. Weeks was ad¬ vised to-day. After the technical con¬ sideration of the offer Mr. Ford will come to Washington to take up the financial end of the proposal. Major General Lansing H. Beach, chief of engineers, will head the staff of engineer officers who will advise Secretary Weeks in his conference with the Ford experts. It is believed that the War Department officials will place before the visitors their objections to some of the provisions of the Ford offer involving the production of water- power at the plants. The proposal to take over the gov¬ ernment properties at Muscle Shoals made by C. F. James, of Chattanooga, Tenn., last week to Mr. Weeks was made public to-day by the department. Mr. James makes the flat bid of $5,000,- 000 for the general plants, land and material, and will pay a fixed yearly rental for a period of ninety-seven years for waterpower developed, rang¬ ing from $1 a horsepower for the first year to $6\50 at rhe ninth year and each year thereafter. -.- Says Aunt Beat Him When He Asked to Go to School Bootblack Tells Court Woman Denied Him Ten Cents to Buy Pencil Alfonso Dongieri, fifteen years old, of 161 Vernon Avenue, Long Island City, told agents of the Queen's Socie¬ ty for Prevention of Cruelty to Chil¬ dren in Jamaica Children's Court yes¬ terday that his aunt, Mrs. Detta Rus- sovth, with whom he lives, had beaten him because he begged her to send him to schooj. Justice Ryan issued a sum¬ mons requiring Mrs. Russovth to ap¬ pear in court Friday. The boy said he arrived from Italy with his brother last) January and was set to work by his aunt as a boot¬ black. He had heard education was free in the United States, he said, and wished to learn. He turned over his day's earnings to his aunt last Satur¬ day and asked her to let him have 10 cents to buy a school copybook and pencil. In response, tie said, she clubbed him. Young Dongieri's injuries were dressed by( an ambulance surgeon. He told Justice Ryan he wanted to be an American citizen and "do something good in the world." He was paroled in custody of the Children's Society until the appearance of Mrj. Russovth in court. ...- Five Held in Murder Of Touring Sportsman No Stains in Car Where Com¬ panions Say Man Was Shot hv Passing Motorist AKRON, Ohio, Sept. 16..Five per- sons were being held to-night in con- neetion with the murder of Harry Sin¬ clair, forty years old, Akron sportsmen, who was killed yesterday while en route between Cleveland and Akron with another man and two women. The authorities said they would investigate further stories told by Sinclair's com¬ panions that Sinclair was killed by shots fired from a passing automobile. The fact that there were no blood- stains in the car or on the clothing of the man's companions, although the four were squeezed into a single-seated machine, led authorities to believe that Sinclair was not slain in the aotomo- bile, nor at the time designated by the man and woman. Besides Sinclair's companions, the authorities were holding two men as material witnesses, but it was intimated one of the men would be released to- morrow. John Sinclair, of Earlvil le, N. Y., brother of the slain man, came here to- day to take charge of the body. Híb parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Sinclair, live in Philadelphia. .-« Logan Miiiers Evade Quiz Threats Keep Grand Jury From Getting Desired Testimony LOGAN, W. Va.. Sept. 16.- A specia. grand jury's investigation of recent disorders on the Boone-Logan counties border continued to-day. Members of the United Mine Workers of Amorie» clean up the motion picture Colonies the Women's Vigilance League must bo J taken seriously. It has among it.H membership descendants of th<- m< n who served on vigilance committees in tho old wild days, and they were capable men for the work at hand. Tin* women recently interested themselves in the war on notorious gangsters, with the result that some of the offenders have been lynched and others sent, to prison for life or long terms. The disorderly element in the motion pic¬ ture business will lind in these women opponents not to bo underestimated at any stage of the encounter. The tragedy at the St. Francis Hotel also gives the prohibition officials ¡.n opportunity to get into the general fight, and they are welcoming the chance to gain a foothold while public indignation is at fever heat. Federal Agents Enter Colonies Ten special agents of the Federal prohibition enforcement division were to-day en route to "Movieland," sent by Special Attorney ("encrai Robert H. McCormack, who ordered a complete investigation of conditions in Holly- wood and other motion picture centers around Lor, Angeles, as a result of Ar- buckle's fatal party. E. Forrest Mitchell, state enforce- ment agent, is already in Los Ángeles, and it is believed the orders of Mr. McCormack were issued as a result of advices from him on conditions dis¬ closed. District Attorney Brady, at a confer¬ ence with the Federal prosecutor, turned over all of the evidence he had obtained with reference to the uso of liquor at Arbucklc's entertainment. "No matter how high the investiga¬ tion reaches, spare no one," Mr. McCoiaa'ack told his agerrts to-day. "The guilty must be punished. The conditions must bo so changed that another 'Fatty' Arbucklc orgy will be rendered impossible."* Ai. indication that orders had come from Washington for a thorough clean-up of the whole situation was seen not only in McCormack's activity, but also in the fact that John Exnicios, field agent of the Rocky Mountain dis¬ trict for the National Prohibition Com¬ missioner, is also on his way to Los Angeles to head a flying squadron. from the Coal River district being heard. The jury learned that "warnings threatening persons who give testi- mony had been posted on houses and I trees in Coal River valley, and that men who took part in the march from Mannet and leaving that region for un- | announced destinations. Arbuckle to Go on Trial For Murder (Cnntlmii*-! from p»ï» ono) .. - .i that the correct charge involved in the! (Arbuckle case was murder. Under such 'circumstances it is his imperative legal duty to proceed with the complaint al¬ leging murder now on lile against the defendant, i\l r. Arbuckle. "It is the Bole province of the trial jury to determine, after the evidence has been taken, in the event it should índ the defendant, guilty, whether the verdict should be one of murder, man¬ slaughter or any other crime compre¬ hended in the charge, and also to fix tiic degree thereof." The concluding paragraph of Brady's Sfafltcment reveals that Arbuckle, al- ilbough he is brought to trial on a chiarge of murder, in ease of convic¬ tion, need not necessarily be found gvtr) lty of murder. It is within the dis¬ cretion of the trial jury to return a vo'dict finding the defendant either gnu'ty of murder, fixing the degree, or guilty o( manslaughter, with a recom- montdation as to the penalty. His $25,000 Car In Danger Art a result of investigations by the Fedttral prohibition officials who went to los Angeles to discover the source of t!u- abundance of liquor that flowed at. th«' Arbuckle party in the St. Francis* Hotels and their return to this city with what is said to be strong evi¬ dence,. Arbuckle may see his gorgeous $25,000 automobile, which hns been the envy >{tf his associates in the film world, seized by the government as tho vehicle; which illicitly conveyed much of the 'liquor from Los Angeles to the 'scene <rt* the tragic Labor Day revelry here. The federal agents have "been in¬ formed .that only half of the forty quarts of- liquor said to have been con¬ sumed at* the party was brought here in Arbuc&lc's machine. The rest was supplied tv Arbuckle in the hotel by a "tall, thin .man" and a "dark stranger." The source of the liquor mysteriously obtained by Arbuckle in the hotel is being thoroughly investigated. The first outsider, besides his man¬ ager and attorneys, who has talked with Arbucki'o was a friend from Los Angeles, who called upon his yester¬ day. The fatít was brought out in the conversation that the comedian ex¬ pected to return to motion pictures if circumstances permitted. His friend said to-day tha'.t Arbuckle was confident of being acquitV.ed, and that it was his intention to retavrn to Los Angeles im¬ mediately upon his release on bail, and in the event", of his acquittal to re¬ sume his picture-'work. Manslaughter Charge Up To-day Arbuckle will appear before Superior Judge Loudcrback 'to-morrow morning on the manslaughter*.- charge. Following is a summary of whet may befall Arbuckle as a result of the de- cisión of the District Attorney to prosecute on the charge of murder: After tho preliminary hearing on the murder charge next Thursday be¬ fore Police Judge Lazarus, it will be within the power of the latter to hold Arbuckle for trial before the Superior Court on a charge of murder, or. if in (he. opinion of the court, tho evidence dors not substantiate a charge of mur¬ der, to hold the defendant for trial on the charge of manslaughter, or, as an extreme measure to dismiss the charge. Should Judge Lazarus decide thac the evidence to support n murder charge is weak, and should he reduce the charge to manslaughter, Arbucklc then could gain his liberty on bail, pending trial in the Superior Court. Should Judge Lazarus hold Arbucklc for trial before the Superior Court on the murder count, his trial will pro-« ceed- before a jury in the Superior Court. Jury Can Ask Life Term In case of conviction on the murder charge, the maximum penalty is hang¬ ing, or, on the recommendation of the jury, life imprisonment in the state penitentiary. It ia within the discretion of the trial jury, even though the defendant ia on trial on a charge of murder, to find him guilty of the lesser crime of manslaughter, or to fix and reduce tho degree of the crime. Should this occur, and Arbucltlo be convicted on a charge of manslaughter, the maximum penalty for this offegise is imprisonment in the state peniten¬ tiary not to exceed ten years, or less if the jury so recommends. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept Iß (By The Associated Press)..District Attorney Brady has the support of the Board of County Supervisors in his prosecution of Arbucklc, it was shown to-day when the finance committee of that body ap¬ propriated $1,000 for immediate ex¬ penses of tho trial and promised more when needed. Brady had asked the board for additional funds, declaring much wealth would be expended by the defense. A development to-day was the an¬ nouncement that Dr. Arthur Beardslee, house physician at the St. Francis Ho¬ tel and the physician who first attend¬ ed Miss Rappe, is being sought by the authorities. Milton T. U'Ren, Assist¬ ant District Attorney, announced ¡ate to-day that he had not been located and asked the newspapers to assist in the search. Dr. Beardslee is wanted for the purpose of giving testimony before the grand jury,regarding cer¬ tain phnsea of the medical attention given Miss Rappe, U'Ren said. Mrs. Bambina Maflde Delmont, who swore to the murder charge on which Arbuckle to-day appeared in court, viewed Miss Rappe's body to-day and is reported to have suffered a partial collapse. The body, according to pres¬ ent plans, will be taken to Los Angeles on the Lark, a Southern Pacific expresa train, late to-night. Robert H. McCormack, assistant United States Attorney-General in charge of liquor prohibition prosecu¬ tions, said that he expected to present to the Federal grand jury Tuesday evi¬ dence that liquor was served and con- _"". äT-^-S ....... «umed at the party -iven by Arbuckle, in which Miss Rappe was declared to have received her fatal injuries. Subpoenas were issued to-day iura- moning Lowell Sherman and Fred Fish- bnck, declared to have been guests at the party, to appear befor ethe United States Grand Jury hero. Tells of Forty Quarts of Liquor Sperman and Fishback were ques¬ tioned yesterday concerning liquor sai»! to have been consumed nt the Arbuckle party. According to Robert Camarillo, Assistant United States Attorney, Fish- back said more thao forty quarts of liquor were consumed in three days at the Arbuckle apartments. Witnesses In the case are being watched and guarded by police to pre¬ vent their possible intimidation. Po¬ lice officials said this step was taken, in some cases, at the request of wit¬ nesses themselves. Among those in the courtroom to-day was a committee from the Women's Vigilance Committee, an organization mndo up of club women, which has pledged itself to assist the authorities in every way in investigating the case. Arbuckle yesterday received twenty- six telegrams and 101 letters, sent to him care of the city jail. He passes his time in his cell reading his mail, telegrams and magazines, according to prison attendants. He avoids reading newspapers, they said. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16..Lowell Sherman, motion picture actor, guest at. the Arbuckle hotel party in San Francisco on Labor Day, has been re¬ leased from a contract with a large mo¬ tion picture production company here, it is announced. Southern Textile Labor Will Fight Wage Cut Conference Attended hy Com- pers Decides to Organize Non-Union Workers ATLANTA, Sept. 1 ("..--Decision to re¬ sist all attempts at further reductions of wages in the textile industry and to inaugurate a permanent campaign to organize the non-union workers of the South, was announced here to-day after conference between more than two hundred Southern labor leader's and Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor. Cmbarlotte, N. C, will be head¬ quarters for the organization campaign. A meeting of leaders in the United Textile Workers of America will be held there September 22 to formulate a definite plan of action. "It is not a declaration of war," said Jerome Jones, editor of the "At¬ lanta Journal of Labor," who acted as spokesman for the conference, "but it is a step toward active resistance to the effort to reduce textile wage scales below a living figure." Heir to 4 Million Denies His Mother Opposed Marriage William E. Smith Refutes Charges of Niece, Who Is Contesting Will; Receiver Asked by Mrs. Nugent In an additional affidavit filed with Justice Lydon yesterday, William E. Smith, heir to $4,400,000 in the will of his mother, Mrs. Roxey Smith, who left an estato of $6,000,000, denied that his mother was opposed to his marriage to Mrs. Claire Staley Smith, as asserted by his niece, Mrs. Beatrice Provost Nugent, of 580 West End Avenue. Mrs. Nugent is contesting the will of her grandmother, Mrs. Smith, whoso provision for the niece was a trust fund of $600,000. Mrs. Nugent claim-, half of the $4,400,000 left to Mr. Smith, her uncle, by virtue of an alleged agreement between her and Mr. Smith, before they knew how the will read, that they would share their legacies equally. One consideration of thi.s agreement, she .said, was that she. keep from her grandmother the inowle-ie-. that her son, William E. Smith, had married. Mrs. Nugent also moved in the Su¬ preme Court to restrain Mrs. Claire Staley Smith, wife of William E. Smith, from removing from safe do- posit vaults forty-four mortgage!, valued at $2,500,000, which her hus¬ band has turned over to her and which are a part of the estate left by .Mrs. Roxey Smith. Mrs. Nugent also wants a receiver for the property. It was in ihat proceeding, now before Justice Lyden, that Mr. Smith filed his affidavit. He said his mother was cognizant of his intention to marry, that she knew his bride because she was the widow of Nicholas J. Smith, an uncle, and that his mother gave her consent to the marriage. Thus, Mr. Smith intends to show that there was no occasion for him to enter into the alleged 50-00 agreement with hia niece. He also added that his mothea* was very fond of his wife. Another affidavit submitted was by Mrs. Nettie L. Cale, a niece of Mrs. Roxy Smith. She said that her aunt was unaware of the marriage of her son to the actress. A similar affidavit was made by William D. BraineTd, a nephew of the decedent.

Women Vigilantes Lead War on
Debaucheries of Screen Stars__
Picture Makers a\lso See Need of Cleaning House ifPublic Is Not To Be Alienated by Revela¬
tions Following Arbuckle "Party"Spcetnl Dispatch to The Tribune
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16..The Rappetragedy has brought to a climax af-fairs in the motion picture colonieswhich have long been calling for re-
strictivc attention. Men and women
watching the trend of affairs have beenpredicting that some one of the orgiesstaged by certain stars would end justas Roscoe Arbuckle's party resultedfor Virginia Rappe.The Women's Vigilance League has
taken a decided stand on the proposi¬tion of cleaning up the motion pictureindustry and making impossible thewild night scenes and drunken de¬bauchery that have marked some ofthese "parties." The best element inthe screen business itself also sees a
golden opportunity to institute some
reforms urgently needed, while publiéeattention is focused on the sorry fateof Miss Rappe. The manufacturersrealize that the public wili not patron¬ize pictures in which principals whohave figured in debaunches are
shown. That is, the stars must bereasonably clean and decent in theirpersonal life, or thoir usefulness as
motion picture attractions ends at once.
\iquor Plentiful and Easy to Ge*Heretofore these orgies h.nve been
fairly well covered up. It is admittedthey were frequent. As a rule, theywere held in the homes of the stars orin the home of some friends. It was
only the cheaper actors and actressesof the "piker" variety who stagedtheir revels in the hotels and publicplaces. These latter, generally, weretame affaira as compared with the"house parties" put on at some of themagnificent homes where all detailscould be readily suppressed. Liqumwas always plentiful. California hasnot taken kindly to the EighteentnAmendment, and there ha?, never beenany trouble in obtaining an unlimitedsupply of wet goods. This was provedto the satisfaction of everybody duringthe Democratic National Convention inSan Francisco. California prides itselfupon its open-handed hospitality, andif a guest desires hard liquor it must,be forthcoming, regardless of any laws.The Golden State makes its own laws.

sons were being held to-night in con-neetion with the murder of Harry Sin¬clair, forty years old, Akron sportsmen,who was killed yesterday while enroute between Cleveland and Akronwith another man and two women.

Federal Agents Enter ColoniesTen special agents of the Federal
prohibition enforcement division wereto-day en route to "Movieland," sentby Special Attorney ("encrai Robert H.McCormack, who ordered a completeinvestigation of conditions in Holly-wood and other motion picture centersaround Lor, Angeles, as a result of Ar-buckle's fatal party.
E. Forrest Mitchell, state enforce-ment agent, is already in Los Ángeles,and it is believed the orders of Mr.McCormack were issued as a result ofadvices from him on conditions dis¬closed.
District Attorney Brady, at a confer¬ence with the Federal prosecutor,turned over all of the evidence he hadobtained with reference to the uso ofliquor at Arbucklc's entertainment."No matter how high the investiga¬tion reaches, spare no one," Mr.
McCoiaa'ack told his agerrts to-day."The guilty must be punished. Theconditions must bo so changed thatanother 'Fatty' Arbucklc orgy will berendered impossible."*
Ai. indication that orders had comefrom Washington for a thoroughclean-up of the whole situation wasseen not only in McCormack's activity,but also in the fact that John Exnicios,field agent of the Rocky Mountain dis¬trict for the National Prohibition Com¬missioner, is also on his way to LosAngeles to head a flying squadron.

(Arbuckle case was murder. Under such'circumstances it is his imperative legalduty to proceed with the complaint al¬leging murder now on lile against thedefendant, i\l r. Arbuckle.
"It is the Bole province of the trialjury to determine, after the evidencehas been taken, in the event it shouldínd the defendant, guilty, whether theverdict should be one of murder, man¬slaughter or any other crime compre¬hended in the charge, and also to fixtiic degree thereof."The concluding paragraph of Brady's
Sfafltcment reveals that Arbuckle, al-ilbough he is brought to trial on a
chiarge of murder, in ease of convic¬tion, need not necessarily be foundgvtr) lty of murder. It is within the dis¬cretion of the trial jury to return avo'dict finding the defendant eithergnu'ty of murder, fixing the degree, or

Fedttral prohibition officials who wentto los Angeles to discover the sourceof t!u- abundance of liquor that flowedat. th«' Arbuckle party in the St. Francis*Hotels and their return to this citywith what is said to be strong evi¬dence,. Arbuckle may see his gorgeous$25,000 automobile, which hns been theenvy >{tf his associates in the film world,seized by the government as thovehicle; which illicitly conveyed muchof the 'liquor from Los Angeles to the'scene <rt* the tragic Labor Day revelryhere.The federal agents have "been in¬
formed .that only half of the fortyquarts of- liquor said to have been con¬sumed at* the party was brought herein Arbuc&lc's machine. The rest wassupplied tv Arbuckle in the hotel by a
"tall, thin .man" and a "dark stranger."The source of the liquor mysteriouslyobtained by Arbuckle in the hotel isbeing thoroughly investigated.The first outsider, besides his man¬
ager and attorneys, who has talkedwith Arbucki'o was a friend from LosAngeles, who called upon his yester¬day. The fatít was brought out in theconversation that the comedian ex¬
pected to return to motion pictures ifcircumstances permitted. His friendsaid to-day tha'.t Arbuckle was confidentof being acquitV.ed, and that it was hisintention to retavrn to Los Angeles im¬mediately upon his release on bail,and in the event", of his acquittal to re¬sume his picture-'work.

der, to hold the defendant for trialon the charge of manslaughter, or, asan extreme measure to dismiss thecharge.Should Judge Lazarus decide thac
the evidence to support n murdercharge is weak, and should he reducethe charge to manslaughter, Arbucklcthen could gain his liberty on bail,pending trial in the Superior Court.Should Judge Lazarus hold Arbucklc
for trial before the Superior Court onthe murder count, his trial will pro-«ceed- before a jury in the SuperiorCourt.

It ia within the discretion of thetrial jury, even though the defendantia on trial on a charge of murder, tofind him guilty of the lesser crime ofmanslaughter, or to fix and reduce thodegree of the crime.Should this occur, and Arbucltlo be
convicted on a charge of manslaughter,the maximum penalty for this offegiseis imprisonment in the state peniten¬tiary not to exceed ten years, or lessif the jury so recommends.
