WASHINGTON. March II.
Opponents to the four-power Pa
elf le treaty looted another series
of broadsides against the pact to

Senators Johnson. " California,

ratification of the treaty would
be a national "surrender" under
a threat of danger from the Anglo-Japanese
alliance, and the
latter asserting that; the proposed
four-power. ". agreement would
transfer to the Pacific the old,
balance of power " j system that
dominated Europe for centuries.

Many West fcaiemues are in

change. While no definite "why"
is given, it is generally conceded
that the plurality of Salems in the

Progress First Day of
Third Attempt
SAN FRANCISCO, March lu
One lone juror temporarily passed
was the record for the first day's
session in the third trial of Ros
coe (Fatty) Arbuckle on trial on
manslaughter charges arising
from the death of Virginia Rappe,
movie actress and one of the
guests at a party given by him
here last Labor day. Miss Rappe
succumbed September 10 and Ar
buckle was arrested the day fol
lowing for murder, the charge la
ter being reduced in the police
court.
Thf fact that a witness had
left the jurisdiction of the court
and was not available at this trial
was touched upon in the question-
ioning of the veniremen. . The
name of thi3 witness was not
mentioned but" It was presumed
the reference was to Miss Zey
Prevost, one of those who attend
ed the Arbuckle party and who
has been considered an Important
prosecution witness. She is in
New Orleans and is reported to
have said she would not return
for the trial.
The examination of the pros
pective jurors assumed a wider
scope than at any of the previous
trials and it vas freely predicted
that more than a week would be
consumed in obtaining a jury.
The women's vigilant commit
tee, ropresentine the several wo

for the purpose of eliminating
from the primary ballot all the

run against T. J Graves of McCoy,

Chosen.
Purpose Xot Attained
Contrary to the expectations of
those gathered together the de
liberations of the small number of
the Republicans present at the
meeting failed to attain it pur

who has been one of the most

he had planned to do.
Mr. Riddell. L. D. Leigh ton of
this city and Mr. Stewart were the
popular candidates at the meeting,
although Mr. Stewart was not in
attendance, claiming that he had
not been invited.

Whether any of the other can

deliberations of the meeting is not
known, but from remarks by Wil

considering casting his hat in the
ring it looks as if there will be
about as many seeking the nom

Just what the outcome of .the
meeting will be remains to be
seen. Mr. Graves supporters
claim they will fight to the last
ditch if their candidate enters the
field, which he is expected to do
most any time, while backers of
the meeting state that their can
