IARBUCKLE JURY
GOESTOHOTE
San Francisco, Nov. 23.?Fred
Fischfcack, who said he invited Virginia
Rappe to the party in the rooms'
of Roscoe Arbuckjfe at the Hotel St.
Francis, where, it'is charged, she received
fatal injuries at Arbucklc's
hands, w??* n witness in the film comedian^
? today. Another witness
was Dfi-'Asa W. Collins, called as an
expert by the defense.
"Fischback was Arbucklc's roommate
during the period referred to in
the trial, lie'.denied that Miss Rappe
complained of pain after suffering the
injuries, and said he had been misquoted
in a statement he made to the
district attoi*ney in which he was quot
?n as saying -miss nappe appeared to
be in agony." %
Fischback saidN he was out on an
automobile drive during the period
referred to in the trial and found Miss
Rappe on a bed in Chuckle's room on
his retunrn.
Dr. Collins testified regarding bladder
ruptures. It was an injury of this
order that caused Miss Rappe's death
and the prosecution contends that Arbuckle
caused it by external force.
Dr. Collins cited a number of causes
which might produce a rupture of the
bladder without any external force
being applied, but said they all were
rare.
Dr. Olav Kaarboe, called by the defense,
testified that he attended MiSs
Rappe after the party and found her
suffering 110 pain. m
Dr. Collins testified that spontaneous
ruptures of the bladder were possible,
hut said he had never attended
such a cfase.
The general interest in the trial
was greater today than on any other
day since its beginning. .
Judge, jury and court attaches today
spent a half hour visiting the
rooms in the Hotel St. Francis, where
the Arbuckle party was staged.

ANTI-BEER BILL
HELPS OFFICERS
Washington, Nov. 23.?Parage of
unti-beer bill "marks a new step forward
in the enforcement of prohibition,"
Coimnisioner Haynes said tonight
in a formal statement.
The act, lie said, strengthened the
hands of the prohibition forces in
dealing with the alleged medicinal
preparations sold on the open market
and used for beverage purposes ami
also limits the activities of "the few
physicians" who were issuing prescriptions
for liquor to people not actually
requiring it.
"No embarrassment in the enforcement
of prohibition," Mr. Iliynes said"is
anticipated from the provision imposing
penal liability upon officers
earching other property without
warrants maliciously and without reasonable
cause. The olfijeers are gi.en
fair warning that they must not
search dwellings without warrants
md no attempts to do so will be made.
It will he a very rare case in which,
under the act, an officer can be prosecuted
on account of the search of othr
property. Before a case against
an officer can be sustained it will be
.ccr sary to show not only that the
flie r did not have a warrant but that

\"o substantial decrease in the activi- j

tuneful music, good song c well

(lovcrnor to Meet Foch
Governor Cooper is planning to go
to Spartanburg December 9 to greet
Marshal Foch in behalf of the state
and to extend to him an official wel_
come to the Palmetto state. The
Spartanburg1 company of the national
guard will likely be asked to participate
in the welcome alone: with the
1 umeious other activities arranged
for by the City of Success when the
distinguished military leader arrives
i there.
The governor will probably not go
to Charlotte, he said yesterday, making
the Spartanburg trip instead?
