The first direct testi mony linking Roscoe C. (Fatty) Arbuckle with the death of Virginia Rappe was given late this afternoon in his trial for manslaughter by Miss Virginia Briggs, secretary to Dr. Fran cis Wakefield, at whose sanitarium the actress died. She said Miss Rappe told her: "Arbuckle took me by the arm and threw me on the bed and put his weight on me and after I do not know what hap pened." .With the testimony of Miss Briggs, a surprise witness, the ?tate rested its case. The defense immediately began the presentation of its evidence by calling Adolph Juel, head of the police identification bureau, to the stand. This is the first time Miss Briggs has appeared as a wit ness, and at the conclusion of her testimony the defense made a mot'on that her statements bo stricken from the record as hearsay. The court denied the motion. Conversation Related. Miss Briggs explained that she had gone into Miss Rappe's room on the day of her death. "She asked me about the amount of the hospital bill that would be due," said the witness. "She said she didn't see why she should pay the bill as Ar buckle was responsible for her being there, I told her that If Arbuckle or anyone else should pay the account after she left, the money paid by her would bo returned. She. replied that she was not going to leave, that she was going to die. "Then I asked her why she Only one man has so far an nounced his candidacy for nomin ation to a seat in the lower house of the legislature from Marion county. He is T. B. Kay.

Cross-evam'.ned by Attorney McNa.h, defense chief council, as to whether it was not true that she had telephoned him asking that Miss Rappe's bill be paid and threatening that if it was not, she would tell her story to the district attorney. Miss Briggs made an absolute denial. She also denied that McXab had told her to give any evidence she might have to the district attor ney although admitting that h? had told her to see that official, she presumed, about the bill. "I had some one on the line while I was talking to you," said the witness. "So did I,' volunteered Mc Xab.

Lunt, M.A., In structor of English in Horace Mann School, Teachers' College, Columbn3 University, "we are' without the aids of voice and manner to make clear what we are trying to say. Our thoughts must be understood because tha relations which exist between the various parts of our sentences are clear. If the relations between the parts of our sentences are not clear, the thoughts we are trying to express will not be under stood." This is Professor Lunt's introduction In The'New Universi ties Dictionary to his article on Practical Syntax," which shows readers of this new dictionary how to build correct sentences. "Good usage, common practice. society whatever you will has decided what is good form, what is proper, in this field of syntax, ust as it has in morals, etiquette or fashions," continues Professor Lunt; "therefore, the man or wo man who has occasion to set his thought down in writing should observe the common practice, the universally understood rules which govern the relationship of words. If he fails to do this, or if he attempts to make his own rules, he will be considered with out the pale of cultured educated people.. From .this It will be seen that the ability to construct sen tences properly is hardly less Im portant than the power to speak.'

CHARG Thirty Years of Fun Making Is Record of Harry Tate, Comedian Who Has Made Whole World Laugh By CHARLES J.
