In Rebuttal State Fails in Ef
fort to Have Presbey's Tes
timony Stricken Out Court
Suggestion "to- Open De
fense's Case Again Followed
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 27. The de
fense rested at 10:35 a, m. In the sec
ond trial of a manslaughter charge
against Rosyoo C. (Fatty) Arbuckle.
Dr. George Franklin Shiels, defense
expert, was the last, witness.
The prosecution opened rebuttal tes
timony with a motion that the defense
evidence of Eugene W. Presbrey, sec
retary of the Screen Writers' Guild of
Los Angeles, be stricken out.
Presbrey hud testified to seeing
Miss Virginia Rappc taken violently ill
after consuming a few drinks of a
French cordial In a Hollywood. Cel.,
hotel. The defense contends that such
illness shoVed a chronic bladder ail
ment which ultimately resulted In Miss
Rappo's death. The prosecution
charges that her death was due to an
attack by Arbuckle.
p supKrt of its motion tho prosecu
tion argued that Presbrey'a testimony
had no connection between the illness
in question and tho bladder rupture
which resulted In Miss Rappe's death.
Tho court denied the motion to
strike out.
At tho suggestion of tho court, the
defense re-openod its case to permit
testimony intended to show that per
iods of Illness suffered by MIhs Rappo
somo months previous to her death
had a definite connection with the
bladder rupture. The prosecution did
not resist the suggestion.

TO SETTLE
Senator Kenyon, Chairman of
Committee Investigating W.
Virginia Fields. Makes Of
ficial Report Govt Regu
lation and New Code, En
forced by Public Opinion.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. A gov
ernment tribunal for regulation ot
the coal Industry under a statutory
code of law enforced only by the
power of public opinion, was -recommended
in a report presented to the
senate today by Chairman Kenyon
of the labor committee which recent
ly Investigated disorders in the West
Virginia-Kentucky coal fields.
The report held that both coal op
erators and miners were responsible
for the recent fatal conflicts and
property destruction In West Vir
ginia, and said mutual conceaslons
by the coal operators and United
Mine Workers would have to be made
to end the conflict.
"The issue is perfectly plain," said
Senator Kenyon's report. "The op
erators In this particular section ot
West Virginia openly announce that
they will not employ men belonging
to the unions. ' On the other hand th
United Mine Workers are determined
to unionize these fields, which are
practically the only large and : Im
portant coal fields . in , the United
States not unionized." a . ' .'
' The proposal for a federal coal tri
bunal and code ot laws applying both
to operators and miners waa his per
sonal suggestion, Senator Kenyoa '
said.
The proposed government coal
board would be organized, under
Senator Kenyon's suggestion, like tha
railway labor board, with three rep
resentatives each from the employes,
the employers and the public, ap
pointed by the president. The indus
trial code would be enacted by con
gress and its principles interpreted
by the board.
Senator Kenyon announced that
later he would Introduce a bill cov
ering his plan for the coal board and
"code" which follows:
1 Coal is a public utility and in
its production and distribution the
public interest Is predominant
2 Human standards should be tin
constraining influence In fixing the
wages and working conditions ot uiio
workers.
3 Capital prudently and honestly
invested in the coal Industry should
have an adequate return sufficient
to stimulate and accelerate produc
tion of this essential commodity.
4 The right ot operators and min
ers to organize is recognized and af
firmed. This right shall not be de
nied, abridged or interfered with in
any manner whatsoever, nor shall co
ercive measures ot any kind ba u-ed
by employers or employes to e.xorcUo
or to refrain from exercising this
light.
55 The right of operators and
ot miners to bargain collectively
through representatives ot their own
choosing is recognized and aft'rmed.
8 The miners who are not mem
bers ot a union have the right to work
without being harassed 'by follow
workmen who may belong to unions.
The men belonging to a union havo
the right to work without being har
assed by operators who do not brtllove
