WOMEN JAM COURTROOM
Bnlky Film Aclor Listens Intently
to Tctlmony, His Estranged
Wife at His Side.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22. The
police court examination of Roscoe
(Fatty) Afbuclile, which will deter
mine whether the film comedian Is to
be bound over to the- superior court
tor trial on charge of the murder
of Miss Virginia Rappe. began here
tcay In a courtroom filled almost
exclusively with women.
Women, some gray-haired and some
with skirts that barely reached to
their knees, jostled and crowded for
points of vantage where they ecnid
sea the defendant and the chair from
where the witnesses spoke.
Three witnesses who saw Miss
Rappe's body after her death on Sep
tember 9, which It Is charged resulted
from Injuries suffered at a drinking
party four days before in Arbuckle's
suite at the Hotel St. Francis, testi
fied they observed bruises on her
limbs and body.
Two of them, the surgeon who per
formed the post mortem eaxmlnation
and the autopsy surgeon, said death
was from a ruptured bladder, caused.
In their opinion, by external force.
Other Testimony Kperted.
At tomorrow's session of Judge Syi
valn Laxarus' court it Is expected
there will be Introduced testimony
regarding incidents at the hotel party,
wrere. according to witnesses at the
coroner's Inqncst, Mios Rappe was
found moaning and screaming after
raving been alone In a room with Ar
buckle. a
Ilstrlct Attorney Brady said Ifhad
r.ot yet been determined whether Al
Scmnacher, Miss Rappe's manager,
who la reported to have testified be
fore the grand Jury at Los Angeles
that Arbuckle had made admissions
regarding; hi treatment of Miss
Rappe, would be called tomorrow or
not.
The bulky film actor listened In
tently to today's testimony, his fact
bearing the same serious expression
't haa worn ever since his arrest
nearly two weeks ago. Mrs. Mints
Durfee Arbuckle, his wife, from whom
he had been separated for five years
but who came here from New Tork
Monday, sat at his side with her
mother, Mrs. Flora Durfee.
Women Jam Corridors.
Women Jammed the corridors of the
hall of Justice for nearly two hours
before the court session began, and a
dozen six-foot policemen had their
hands full keeping them away from
the courtroom door. A group of men
whe gathered In a corner in the hope
of being- admitted were chased uncere
monlously to the street floor, and
women who could show no credentials
for admission also were ordered to
stand on the stairs, to allow movement
in the corridor.
The women received the preference
because Judge Lazarus' court Is largely
devoted to women's cases and delega
tions from the women's vigilant com
mittee, from clubs and civic organi
sations packed" the courtroom to Its
doors. A few men attaches ef other
courts found refuge behind the steel
bars of the prisoners' dock. Arbuckle
himself sat at the attorneys' table.
All Prearat Warn!.
When J ml ire Lnzarus called the
court to order, he made a short state
ment: I want to warn all of those
present." he said, "that Jny demon
stralhwi either for or against the
prisoner will be dealt with summa
rily. Any noise, shouting-, stamping
of the feet or other noire, in the na
ture of approval or disapproval of
any action in this court, w.ll be taken
an contempt of this court jnd the
perpetrator l.Weof will be punisjee
and ejected from t tie room."
The comedian entered the court
weavrlng a blue sack suit. If la linen
was white. A dark blue tie, shot
with maroon stripes, whs the only bit
of color. Ills wife sat on hit left.
She wore a plain black silk 'Ires,
black hat and dark gray gloves. Only
once or twice during the hearing did
they converse.
Hand ( leaped la Wife's.
Arbuckle betrayed no emotions as
the details of Miss Rappe's Illness,
death and subquent discovering of
the cause of death were unfuJ4,d.
His seat was next to that of Aiyhil
ant District Attorney ITRcn, who ex
amined the witnesses for the defense.
Part of the tlm- he Sit wltit his nrni
on the brass railing back of U'Ren's

Immediate Future Depends on Ag
ricultural Development, Saya
Federal Ilcscrve Head.
CHARLOTTE. N. C, Sept. 22.
Gloomy forebodings of last winter
with regard to the banking situation
are no longer Justified and can be
dismissed. Governor Harding of the
federal reserve board declared in an
address tonight.
"The banking situation has greatly
Improved," he said, "and, although
readjustment haa not been . com
pleted, evidences are multiplying
that we have passed the most acute
stage." . .
Governor Harding said that In the
Immediate future much would depend
on agricultural developments and the
manner in which this year's crops
were marketed. '
"With proper co-operation b'y mer
chants and bankers," he said, "those
engaged in agriculture have oppor
tunities and prospects which were
rot anticipated a few months ago
and It is of vital Importance that this
co-operation be given.
"It should be remembered that to
maintain our production we must
push our foreign trade. Some means
must bo devised for extending long
time credits abroad or of Interesting
American Investors In foreign prop
erties and securities In order that the
exchange rate may be corrected."

Attorney Johnston openly declared
that "the case Is already won," and
he added with a jubilant chuckle:
"And we did It with the state's own
witnesses."
The rest of the day's testimony was
devoted entirely to corroborating the
claims made by Douglas In his open

THOSE PANTS?
Amendments Revision
Bill Is Offered.
BURDEN HELD DISTRIBUTED
Lower Rates on Moderate
Incomes Provided.
GASOLINE TAX PROPOSED
Statement Presented by Democrats
Declares Present Revision
Measure Indefensible.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 22.
Reductions in the normal ax rates
on individual Incomes of $15,000 or
less and a graduated tax of from 10
to 20 per cent on the incomes of cor
porations in place of the suggested
flat rate of 15 per cent were proposed
in amendments to the republican tax
revision bill offered today in the
senate by Senators Walsh, Massachu
setts, and Gerry, Rhode Island, demo
crats, on the finance committee.
To make up the 1105.000.000 loss
from the tax on individual incomes. It
was proposed that a tax of one cent
a gallon on gasoline be imposed at
the source-and that the capital stock
tax. yielding around 160.000,000 an
ually, be retained. The majority bill
provides for repeal of this tax, ef
fective In 122.
Under the Gerry amendment, tax
payers whose net Income is less than
$5000 would pay a normal rate of 2
per cent Instead of 4 per cent on $4000
as provided In the revised bill; tax
payers whose net Income is between
$2000 and $10,000 would pay a normal
tax of 4 per cent on the excess over
$5000 Instead of 8 per cent on all over
$4000, and taxpayers whose net In
come is between $10,000 and $15,000
would pay a normal tax of 6 per cent
on the excess over $10,000, instead of
8 per cent on the excess over $1000.
Surtax Rates to Stay.
Incomes in excess of $15,000 would
pay 8 per cent on all over that
amount, but, it was explained, they
would receive the benefit of the
lowered normal tax up to $15,000. The
surtax rates as fixed by the finance
committee would remain unchanged.
Under the corporation Income tax
amendment offered by Senator Walsh,
the rate on the first $100,000 of cor
poration net income would be 10 per
cent; that on thetneome between
$100,000 and $300,000 would be 15 per
cent and than on the Income In excess
of $300,000 would be 20 per cent.
"This schedule,? -said a statement
Issued by Senators Walsh and Gerry,
"will reduce the tax on the net In
come of 195,000 corporations on which
the republican majority bill Increases
the tax from 10 per cent to 15 per
cent, while it increases the tax on
only about 4000 corporations which
have a net income of more than
$300,000 each per year.
Scheme Held Equitable.
"We believe our programme Is more
equitable because it provides that
corporations, like Individuals of small
incomes, shall bear a less tax burden
than those corporations with largi
incomes.
Discussing the proposed reductions
In the normal income tax rate 'on
individual Incomes below $15. 000, the
statement raidi
"This change will reduco mate
rially the tax bills of ino.-j than
3.000.000 taxpayers, in striking con
trast with the republican plan cf cut
ting, in addition to lowering, the
high surtaxes from taxpayers jiose
income Is more than $66,000, wliicn
affects not more than 5000 of the
wealthiest citizens.
"The loss to the government by our
plan will amount to about $105,000.
000, yet the republican majority has
eliminated the excess nroilts taxes
and reduced the revenue of the gov
ernment $450,000,000. There should
be no reduction of the substantial
character proposed bv the republican
majority, leading to such, tremendous
reductions In the needed revenue of
the government In the interest of ex
cessive proill-maKing curpuranuuo
without providing for a just and
equitable reduction to the individual
whose Income is less man sis.uuu.
Kevtaloa Bill Attacked.
The statement made a general at
tack on the tax revision bill declaring
it to be "unsound. Inequitable and In
defensible."
"The bill. It said, "continues in tne
main, all the annoying and burden
some income and other tx provisions
of the old war revenue bill.
"The bill wouJd continue to sunjecr
our people to the annoyance, uncer
tainties and burdens of taxes that only
war condit'ons Justified.
"We believe a change should be
made In the system of taxation, but
is members of the minority we can
only hope to succeed, if at all. by con
centrating all our efforts in an en
deavor In the senate to modify ami
change those Important features of
the finance committee bill which we
deem to be most unfair and unjust."
It was explained that the statement
was In no sense a minority report,
which will be submitted later.
The majority report also Has yet to
be submitted. Chairman Penrose told
the senate that he hoped to have-It
ready tomorrow. He plans at that
time to call up the tax bill with a
view to having it read and brought
to immedUl consldratipa.
