' ARBUCKLE HELD IN CELL AT JAIL Will Be Prosecuted on Charge Of Murder.?Can Not Give Bond. I ~ San Francisco, Sept. 17.?With the formal announcement today that Roscoe C. ("Fatty") Arbuckle, motion picture comedian, woulS be prosecuted on a charge of murder in connection with the death of Miss Virginia Rappe, actress, following a Labor day party in the actor's hotel rooms here, both the prosecution and defense squared away tonight to arrange for the trial, the first chapter of which will be written next Thursday. when it is expected the prisoner iC "' will be given his preliminary examination. When District Attorney Matthew Brady, in the court of Police Judge Sylvain Lazrus today, announced that 'the people are ready to proceed on the murder charge," he blasted the hopes o? the defense that Arbuckle would tonight be at liberty on $5,000 bond set by the court ' when a grand jury indictment charging the defendant with mnaslaughter was returned. Jt was indicated today that the prosecution's decision to go to trial on the murder charge was a surprise to the defense. From Los Angeles came reports that Ar Nbuckle had already made train reservations for a trip from San Fran4 - cisco to that city this evening. Murder is not a bailable charge in California. The reservations, if made, can not be used. District Attorney Bracly has the support of the board of county su pervisors in his prosecution of Arbuckle, it was shown today when the finance committee of that body appropriated $1,000 for immediate exs penses of the trial apd promised more when needed. Brady 'had asked f the board for additional funds, declaring muca wealth would be expended by the defense. Mrs. Bambina Maude Delmont who swore to the murder charge on which Arbuckle today appeared in court viewed Miss Rappe's body today and , is reported to have suffered a partial collapse. Robert H. /McCormick, as^stanjt United States attorney in charge of <liquor prosecutions, said he expected to present to the federal jury on Tuesday evidence that liquor was . served ana consumed at the party given by Arbuckle in which Miss . Rappe was alleged to have received her fatal injuries. ' In addition to his other troubles Arbuckle mav suffer the loss of his . eustom made automobile, said to have cost $25,000. Government officials say if it is shown that liquor was transported from Los Angeles to this city in the automobile it is * v" liable to confiscation. Subpoenas were issued today summoning Lowell Sherman and Fred? Fischback,' said to have been * guests at the party, to appear before the United States grand jury here. Sherman and Fischback were questioned yesterday concerning liquor said to have been consumed at the ? ? party. According to Robert Camarill/* oeeie+onf TTtiifa/) Qfof^e r1ic4i?i/?f M1V) CkOOAObAiAlt UI.ObV.9 UlObiiVV aty>rney, Fischback said that 40 \ quarts of liquor were consumed in three days at the Arbuckle apartments. t MASTER'S SALE The State of South Carolina, COUNTY OF ABBEVILLE. v Court of Common Pleas.

Hackensack, Sept. 13.?Sheriff Joseph Kinzley of Bergen county today received a score of letters and as many telephone calls from women who have been summoned to appear 011 Wednesday to serve on the petty jury for this month. Judging from the messages, only a few will be present. The Sheriff said the majority of those summoned appeared to think that serving on the jury was something like attending a tea. party? that they could appear if they* wish or stay away at pleasure. The Sher| iff said he had done his duty in sum. ? ? xr.i xl J!J I moning tnem ana tnai 11 wiey uiu not appear it was up to the court to decide what should be done. The first letter the Sheriff opened was from a prospective juror. In it the woman said: "It Will be vey hard for me to appear on Wednesday, as I haven't concluded my vacation as yet, and 1 don't think the court ought to interfere. with my pleasure." As the Sheriff put this letter to one side he was confronted by another with this: "Since I offered my services I have secured a good position, and if I serve I am afraid that I will ' lose my job. What will I do?M The Sheriff didn't send any advice, saying that he would let the woman decide for herself. So it went along all day, excuse after excuse, until the Sheriff didn't know which way to turn. Thirty-five women are scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday before County Judge John B. Zalbriskie, they"having stated several weeks ago that they were willing to serve. The Grand Jury of Bergen County will be sworn in tomorrow by Supreme Court Justice C. W.^arker.'

Poueche cannot write or read. And now he is being flooded by many dozens of letters daily. It is no joke, says Poueche, to be obliged to go through all these strange hieroglyphics, even when you have a secretary. And Poueche's secretary is not much of an expert at deciphering handwriting anyhow. He is the owner of a little saloon where Poueche has rooms in Dunkirk. His rooms consist of a little bedroom upstairs and a large reception room downstairs, which, owing to the shortage of housing accommodations in Dunkirk, Poueche shares with his saloon-keeper-secretary and the bar. i Like celebrities Pouche lives the greater part^of his tim? under the 3ye of the highly interested public at the bar. Nonchalantly reclining with the stub of a clay pipe between his teeth the future millionaire listens with a blase air while the saloonkeeper laboriously reads out one letter after another. These come mostly from people who-express a profound and touching faith in the unlimited goodness of Poueche's heart. They -just know he is not the boy to refuse a helping hand to those in trouble. Many are written by women who are convinced that only they can assure Poueche's future happiness?a large percentage of these arg widows. The other writers are ready to handle the sailor's business interests. One young girl says she is so pretty that Pdueche could not possibly do better than to adopt her as a daughter. She Has known all her life that she wes born to be a millionaire's child. But the old sea-dog does not look convinced; Twenty-Second Child Born Omaha, Neb., Sept. 16.?Mrs. Earl M. iRowray, 41,. gave birth to heij twcnty-second child yesterday. Mrs. Rowray became a bride at 14 and a mother at 17. She has been married twice. 'By her first husband she had twenty children. Four years ago he died and she married a man twenty years her junior and since then two children have (been born to them. ?

A police aan donned a diver's suit and examned the interior of each car, but reported that he was unaible to find ny bodies in them. He said the cars tere so deeply embedded in mud hat he was unable to recognize their aake or to discern their license or ngine numbers. \ The police expressed a belief that he cars had been abandoned and ent speeding into the river from a eserted pier. It was their theory hat the spot was used by automoiile thieves to get rid of cars when hey feared police pursuit was ibeoming hot. Other cars probably rere thus sent into the river by heir owners, the police ?aid, for the purpose of obtaining insurance or to ;et rid of them after they had provd useless. A wrecking crew will relove the cars from the river today. NOTICE OF TAX SALE. itate of South Carolina, County of Abbeville.
