SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2
Gavin McNab, ln his opening
argument for the defense today,
told I lie court that the proaecu-
tlon has failed to bring out any
definite detailed statement of
Virginia Rappe's explaining the
Injury which caused her death.
He also excoriated the slate for
failing to call Mrs. Delniont to

against the state's cause.
Arbuckle appeared subdued
during the defense's argument.

McNab termed the state's
nidence as of the "cold stor-
iff urlety." He argued that
the state's witnesses had of-
red conflicting statements re
cording the occurrences at the

Arbnckle's only thought was
not of extricating himself from
his predicament, but of secur-
Ing aid for Virginia Rappe, his

pictured Arbuckle as having

I Arbuckle appeared Indifferent dur-

uiusi OI me time gazing around or
.fingering shreds of paper. Friedman
; told the Jury that "even if Arbuckle
, ioiu me irutn on the stand it would
1 be strong enough to convict him, for
he admitted he left Miss Rappe after

or telling anyone of her condition."
. "Why has not the prosecution pre-
sented Bnmblna Maude Delmont. the
Failure to do this, ; complaining witness ln this case?"
.Mc.NaD asked. He praised Mrs. Mor
gan as a "heroine, wounded In bat
lle." Finger prints on the doors of
the Hotel St. Francis room used by
Arbuckle, and said by the prosecu
tion to be those of Arbuckle and Miss
Rappe. were called "spooks" by Mc
Xab. "Arbuckle had but ten minuter
in that room with Miss Rappe," he
said.
Stnte's Course Attacked.
The action of the district attorney
in placing witnesses under his cus
tody "on the theory that they may be
tampered with," was attacked by Mc
Nab. Miss Zen Prevost, prosecution wit
ness, was "terrorized," ho Bald, ln
her appearances before the police
and the grand Jury, because she
would not say Miss Rappe. referring
to Arbuckle, exclaimed "he killed
me!"
Mr. McNab was Interrupted a num
ber of times by the prosecution or,
the charge that he was going outside
the record in the case.
"Weird, fantastic absurdities were
substituted for the testimony of Mrs.
Delmont, the complaining witness,"
he said.
Testimony Is Detailed.
The testimony of both prosecution
and defense witnesses was detailed
l.y Friedman. He said that Mrs.
Morgnn's record as a war nurse, as
she outlined It on the stand, was sub
ject to attack.
Fred Flshback, a leading defense
witness, was accused by Friedman
of having attempted to take the
blame of Miss Rappe's injury on his
own shoulders.
The defense testimony of Dr.
Franklin Shields "blasted the de
fense's own theory that the bladder
rupture which caused Miss Rappe's
death might have resulted from sud
den Immersion ln a cold bath," Mr.
Friedman said. "Dr. Shields testified
that he had no knowledge of a blad
der rupturing In this fashion."

TIMBER LANDS IN COUNTY
BE CLASSIFIED BY OWNERS
AT A COMING MEETING
Lands Will be Segregated Into Groups Corresponding to Their
Relative Values as Based on Marketing Facilities
and Their Accessibility.
Classification of all timber lands
in Douglas county will be underta
ken at a meeting of timber owners
to be held ln Portland on Dec. 21,
according to an announcement made
this morning by 11. O. Pargeter, sec
retary of the Douglas County Fire
patrol. This classification Is to be
made for the purpose of assisting
County Assessor Calkins in his work
of assessing the timber lands In the
county In connection with the timber
cruise which Is to be completed next
year.
The Douglas County Fire patrol,
which is composed of the owners of
timber in this county, will meet at
the Green Room lr the State Cham
ber of Commerce building on the
morning of Dec. 21. The morning
meeting will be given over etrictly
to nffairs pertaining to the patrol and
mapping out Its work for the coming
season and receiving reports for the
season just concluded.
At 2 o'clock, a meeting of all tim
ber owners, whether members of the
patrol or not, has been called. It Is
desired that all persons owning tim
ber lands in Douglas county be pres
ent at this meeting ln order that
the classification may be satisfactory
to all.
Several years ago the county court
determined to change the method of
taxing timber lands. Heretofore
there has been no satisfactory data
from which to make an assessment.
Timber lands were simply limber
lauds no matter how situated or how
valuable they might be. This was
plainly unfair to agricultural lands
and a new system was desired where
all lands might be on an equal basis.
There was, however, no Information
on which such a system might be
bnsed.
The assessor was In possession of
fucts concerning agricultural land.
From his books he could ascertain
the amount of Improvements nnd the
probable 'valuo of the lands, but
with timber Ir.nds It was different.
Lands lying near railroads, or
nenr rivers and tributary to saw
mills, had more value than timber
l (tds iying far from tiie mills and ln
HCf.vlble to loggln? activities. Just
l.i.w much this dltTort.nefi might e
ir how these land mlijlit li'fer In
vrlue. the assessor had no means of
doierii'lnlng nnd ar inii.t'i of the
count r la timber land, the court de
cided that a cruise must be made.
As a consequence, cruisers nave
been busy mapping out ail of the tlm
i.er land In the county. They have
ascertained the amount of tlmbor on
each township and have also located
It in regard to Us accessibility. V hen
completed the assessor will have a
foundation on which to lay a sys
tem ot tnxallon based on caan val
ues. In order that there may be a mors
thorough classification mnde, the
ilmU owners have agreed to un
dertake the task of classifying the
timber in regard to its relative i-

roads and accessible to market, while
other classes will be graduated down
in varying degrees to those lands ly
ing in inaccessible places,' and far
from market where it is evident that
there Is little value to be attached.
The assessor can check these group
ings with the cruise and can then de
termine upon the values by using the
market price of commercial timber
for the highest class and then work
down to the less valuable lands.
This will enable him to place both
agricultural and timber lands as well
as city property upon a strict cash
value basis, and will equalize the rate
of taxation between the various class
es. The system now ln use by the as
sessor is based on actual sale values.
The price paid by purchasers for city,
farm, and timber lands may be taken
as a fair basis ot assessment and as
one class raises or lowers ln value
the sales will show this condition
and corresponding changes can be
made in the rate of assessment. Ac
cording to figures by the state tax
commission, the actual assessment
rate In this -county has been around
80 percent of the actual cash value.
