TIIE 3I0RXIXG OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1022 SENATE NEWBERRY BUTTLE Agreement to Vote Today De clared Possible. UNDERWOOD GETS IN FRAY Seven Speeches Made In Opposition to Seating Michigan Man. Some by Republicans. WASHINGTON. D. C, Jan. 11. The flKht in the senate over the right of Truman H. Newberry, republican, of Michigan, to a seat, which has been contested by Henry Ford, his oppo nent In the 1918 election, continued today and when the session ended to night predictions of the outcome gen erally were held in abeyance, so un certain had the result become. It was agreed among leaders that the outcome rested on the final position to be taken by fewer than a half dozen senators whose attitude has not been disclosed. ' Hopes for a vote today were dashed by the last minute demands of sen ators desiring more time to speak. Even an attempt by Senator Spencer, republican, Missouri, who is leading the Newberry supporters, to obtain an agreement to vote at 4 o'clock tomor row, was blocked. Senator King, democrat, Utah, objecting. Mr. King suggested that an agreement might be expected tomorrow. Ktw Resolutions Appear. Two new resolutions, both to de clare the seat vacant, were Introduced by Senators Owen, Oklahoma, and Walsh, Montana, democrats. Mr. Owen said he had sought to eliminate all disputed points in the controversy so that the senate could determine solely whether it was sound public policy that such large amounts of money should be expended In a cam paign. Mr. Walsh's resolution repre sented a recasting of his original proposition, declaring the seat vacant, but redrafted "to express in firmest tone" a statement of the senate's views with respect to the welfare of the nation, when large sums of money are used in a campaign and election. The possibility of a democratic move to seek to recommit the whole case to the senate elections and privileges committee, temporarily set aside today, were talked of again after the debate. No decision was readied, however. Senator Johnson Sought. Efforts to get pairs arranged for and against the seating of Mr. New berry continued to offset the loss of strength on either side through ab sentees. Senate officers also at tempted today to locate Senator Johnson, republican, California, whose attitude is not known. Several tele grams have been dispatched in ef forts to locate him and to determine whether he can be paired if he is unable to reach Washington to vote. There were seven speeches today, among them being one by Senator Underwood of Alabama, democratic lender, and another by Senator Jones, "republican, Washington, who an nounced he would vote against Mr. Newberry. The other senators who spoke, all In opposition to the resolu tion declaring Mr. Newberry to be tho qualified senator, were Norris, re publican, Nebraska, and Reed of Missouri, Hitchcock of Nebraska, Caraway of Arkansas and Heflin, Alabama, all democrats. , Jones Explains Position. Mr. Jones declared that In de termining to oppose Mr. Newberry he had not been frightened by any threats that if he voted otherwise his political life would be jeopardized. He said ho believed the voters pre ferred a man who was "wrong from conscientious grounds rather than a man who was right through fear." He declared that if he was wrong In this case. It was on the ground that ho could not believe that Mr. Newberry was entitled to a seat after he, or anyone in his behalf, had expended more than :00.000 in press lug his campaign for election.

SPECTATORS JAM COURT Movie Star Charged With Killing of Film Actress Cheerful as Second Hearing Begins. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 11. Selec tion of seven temporary jurors and dismissal In the police court of a perjury charge against Mrs. Minnie Neighbors resulting from her de fense testimony In the first trial were outstanding developments today In connection with the opening of the second manslaughter trial of Roscoe C (Fatty) Arbuckle. noted motion picture comedian. The case grew out of the death of Miss Virginia Rappe, the prosecution charging Arbuck.e attacked her. The presence of a large throng In front of the criminal courts building to watch the trial principals come and go, and a crowded courtroom be lied to some extent the general belief that public Interest In the Arbuckle trial had nearly died out. The de fendant, cheerful and keenly Inter ested In the proceedings, sat close to his chief counsel, Gavin McNab. Mrs. Mlnta Durfee Arbuckle, his wife, sat In another section of the courtroom. McNab Questions Talesmen. The personnel of opposing counsel was the same as In the last trial. McNab handled the questioning of talesmen for the defense and Milton T. U'Rren, assistant district attorney, for the prosecution. The presence in court of represent atives of the women's vigilance com mittee, a moral and civil uplift or ganization, figured in the question ing of talesmen, McNab asking if such activity of the committee would fig ure In the deliberation on the evi dence. Most of the talesmen examined today were excused for having fixed opinions. There was a possibility that the court venire would be ex hausted before the jury Is selected, as the panel was drawn on for a pre vious trial of another case. There was a general listlessness toward the questioning of talesmen, the humdrum and monotony of the oft-repeated questions causing many heads to nod in "iat naps." Police Guard Conrtroom. The dismissal of Mrs. Neighbors, whose case had progressed at inter vals for a month, was regarded by the defense as a "big" point in its favor, but the prosecution held the opposite view. The same elaborate police guard that was maintained throughout the first trial again appeared today, and the plan of admitting spectators and press representatives into the court room by card was again employed. Three women were Included In the list of temporary jurors selected. LOTTEfiY HELD ILLEGSL PIUZE DISTRIBUTIOX IN THEA TERS TO STOP. Washington Supreme Court Holds That Seattle Drawings Violate CHy Ordinance. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Jan. 11. (Spe cial.) The Washington state supreme court today reversed the King county superior court which granted a tem porary injunction restraining Seattle and King county officials from inter fering with the operation of a plan to distribute northwest products in certain motion-picture houses. The supreme court held that prizes of fered acted as an Inducement to theater patrons and that drawings were In violation of a city ordinance. The action was brought by the G. & G. Theater company, the Society theater and the Class A Theater. Numbered tickets were Issued to pa trons of the theaters as chances to ward prizes offered by the Northwest Products association, also parties to the complaint. The theaters asserted they took no part in the drawing and realized no profit from the plan. The lower court held that the draw ing could be carried on as long as it promoted northwest products which were donated. The court ruling also made it plain that the theaters should take no part and should not profit, and that the drawing should be im partial and fair. The city in its appeal maintained that the issuance of such coupons served as an inducement for citizens to patronize the particular moving picture houses where the drawings were held. The supreme court reversed the decision of the King county court which had awarded claims against the town of Tukwila, Wash.
