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.

hv Passing MotoristAKRON, 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 enroute between Cleveland and Akronwith another man and two women. Theauthorities said they would investigatefurther stories told by Sinclair's com¬panions that Sinclair was killed byshots fired from a passing automobile.The fact that there were no blood-stains in the car or on the clothing ofthe man's companions, although thefour were squeezed into a single-seatedmachine, led authorities to believe thatSinclair was not slain in the aotomo-bile, nor at the time designated by theman and woman.

Besides Sinclair's companions, theauthorities were holding two men asmaterial witnesses, but it was intimatedone of the men would be released to-morrow.John Sinclair, of Earlville, N. Y.,brother of the slain man, came here to-

day to take charge of the body. Híbparents, Mr. and Mrs. James Sinclair,live in Philadelphia.

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 toGo on TrialFor Murder(Cnntlmii*-! from p»ï» ono)

..- .ithat the correct charge involved in the!

(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

guilty o( manslaughter, with a recom-montdation as to the penalty.

His $25,000 Car In DangerArt a result of investigations by the

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.

Manslaughter Charge Up To-dayArbuckle will appear before Superior

Judge Loudcrback 'to-morrow morningon the manslaughter*.- charge.

Following is a summary of whet maybefall Arbuckle as a result of the de-

cisión of the District Attorney toprosecute on the charge of murder:

After tho preliminary hearing onthe murder charge next Thursday be¬fore Police Judge Lazarus, it will bewithin the power of the latter to holdArbuckle for trial before the SuperiorCourt on a charge of murder, or. if in(he. opinion of the court, tho evidencedors not substantiate a charge of mur¬

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.

Jury Can Ask Life Term

In case of conviction on the murdercharge, the maximum penalty is hang¬ing, or, on the recommendation of thejury, life imprisonment in the statepenitentiary.

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.
