WOMEN MAY BE CHOSEN ON JURY IN ARBUCKLE'S TRIAL-DISPATCH Both Sides Issued Statements Before Opening Of Case Today—Brady Says "Fatty" Caused Girl's Death. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14.—Women may be chosen on the jury that is to try Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle for the murder of Virginia Rappe, movie actress. As the trial of the fat comedian opened today, it was revealed that the names of thirteen women are in the first panel of sixty-five prospective jurors.

Punch boards were taken from A. Rodriguez and Pedro Pementa who operate pool room and soft drink stands at Talbert. The slot machines, which are elaborate affairs and are supposed to return gum as well as a chance at a valuable coupon, were found to be short on gum. These machines were taken from R. G. Tahsima, Wintersburg; Raymold Montana, North Lemon street, Anaheim; W. Nakamate, Garden Grove, and A. O. Cole, Garden Grove. Considerable complaint concerning the operation of the machines has some in to the sheriff's office recently.

Behind the technical charge of man-slaughter which can mean ten years imprisonment for Arbuckle, lies the fact that movie morals are on trial. Men who have millions invested in the film industry admit that on the guilt or innocence of Arbuckle hangs important results to the picture business. Before the trial opened both sides issued statements: "A girl entered Roscoe Arbuckle's room and when she came out she was dying." District Attorney Brady. "We believe Roscoe Arbuckle responsible for the girl's death." "The defense seeks to try the girl on the basis of her alleged past life. The past of that beautiful girl is not an issue. It is being used to fog the real issue." Defense lawyers denied they were attacking Miss Rappe's morals.

AGED MAN KILLED BY AUTO LAST NIGHT INQUEST TUESDAY Struck by an automobile as he was walking on the boulevard near Capistrano at an early hour last night, a man believed to be J. M. Carriigan, 70 years old, and apparently a hobo, was so seriously injured that he died within half an hour after the accident, without regaining consciousness. According to information secured by Coroner C. D. Brown, who investigated last night, the man was hit by a car driven by Carlton Winslow, an architect of Los Angeles. The man was apparently walking on the pavement. A row of trees on a curve near this point is thought to have hidden the man from Winslow, who says that he did not see him until too late to stop. The man is said to have made no effort to get out of the way. The only identification obtained was in a memorandum book found in the man's pocket by the coroner. This gave the name of J. M. Carriigan and his age as 70 years. A description followed which seemed to tally with the dead man. The inquest is to be held tomorrow morning at Smith and Tutthill's funeral chapel in Santa Ana. Mrs. George Jay Gould Drops Dead on Links LAKEWOOD, N.

For instance, Harry Riley quit work this morning and went to his home. There, it is said, he dyed his hair red. Oscar Heyling, without a word of explanation, purchased a pair of trousers of sufficient proportions to clothe the fat man in a circus. Fay Lewis visited the "tar dentist" and had his front teeth "pulled out" and persons who have seen him say he has a regular Eddie Foy smile. A regular stampede has been going on all day in the beauty shops of Anaheim. The city's prettiest girls are gettink marcelles, manicures, face massages, eyebrows plucked, hair beaked, and are making every effort to make themselves more attractive. Crepe paper? All gone. Anaheim merchants sold out this morning. Clerks were "run ragged" this morning trying to wait on the beauties who show up and asked for the finery stuff. What is it all about anyway? When the lights of the California Theater are turned low tonight and the fourteen hundred persons who bought tickets for the Sika charity show have been seated, the secret will be out. All of these queer things will be explained. The curtain will rise on a stage set with a hundred and thirty little tots dressed as baby dolls. Little Marion Strupe and Master Robert Shaw will delight the audience with their clever repartee as the opening of the big production in which more than two hundred and fifty men, women and children of Anaheim will take part.

Mrs. Gould had just finished a drive at the fifth tee and with her husband was watching the ball when she collapsed. Mr. Gould turned to her and was astonished to see her lying across the tee.

Ku Klux Klan Kleagle Indicted As Kidnaper When the lights of the California Theater are turned low tonight and the fourteen hundred persons who bought tickets for the Elks' charity show have been seated, the secret will be out.

DeVaux, distributor for the H.C.S. motor cars in Orange county, is pleased with the reception which has been given the H.C.S. automobile. He says that many critical automobile men have inspected it and are unanimous in delaring it the perfect motor car. Indian Courts Lady Love in Simple Way-Old-Timer Indian courtship and marriage rules among the Cheyennes, before the days of the white men's law, were simple but rigid, according to an old-timer of Anaheim who spent his boyhood days near an Indian school in Oklahoma. Jokingly, he points out that his name should be withheld so "the Missus" wouldn't learn that he knew so much dope on the Indian girls. An Indian courtship may begin this way: An Indian boy at a dance may see a girl he likes. He gazes intently at the girl. If she likes him, she will return the look. At dances the woman stay on one side of the house and the men on the other. If the girl welcomes the boy's attentions she may dance across the floor and touch him for a partner. When it comes time for him to select a partner he may indifferently pat her on the head and she will dance around with him again. your son would give for my daughter? "Your daughter should be so glad to have my son for a husband that two ponies would be enough." Both families talk the thing over and if it is agreeable all around the boy who wants the girl may tie two ponies near the tepee of the girl. Tying the ponies near the lodge was not to be considered a purchase, but merely a concrete way of telling how much the boy loved the girl. If he tied two ponies at her door it meant that he loved her to the value of two ponies. If things were still favorable the animals would be taken and tied some other place. If the girl's family wanted to show how much they appreciated having the boy for a son-in-law, they, in turn, might tie some ponies for him to take. When the ponies are accepted the engagement is made. And Highway Uncovered LONDON, Nov. 14—The remains of an old Roman road, portions of a big palace and beautiful moorsics have been discovered by chance at Alexandra by workmen engaged in digging the foundations of a new building. Experts declare the ruins to be of the Ptolemite period (about 2000 B.C.) and believe the mto be probably the site of a royal palace. Ku Klux Klan Kleagle Indicted As Kidnaper ASHEVILLE, N. C., Nov. 14—J. O. Fronenberger, organizer and kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan here, was arrested late Saturday on charges of false arrest and imprisonment, conspiracy to kidnap and kidnapping. His arrest followed a report by a jury which returned three true bills against Fronenberger and "other persons" whose names are unknown to the grand jury. Fronenberger was released in $1000 bond. The grand jury investigations grew out of the return to this city from Saluda, N.C., of two women who had been arrested on statutory charges and released on bond. Air Bombers Carry Own Scout Airplane Experiments with a remarkable type of battle plane which carries its own scout machine poised at the tip of one of its wings have been carried out at Farnborough, England. Two big bombing planes have been flying over Aldershot with a diminutive airplane fixed to the upper wing. So far it is understood the tests have been successful. The parent machines have traveled at their usual pace, although the engine of the scout machine was kept running so that it was ready to dive off at a minute's notice to protect the larger and heavier craft. The automatic releasing apparatus is constructed on ingenious lines. An expert pilot is carried by the bombing plane and as soon as his services are required he climbs through the top ring and takes his seat in the scout plane. By pressing a trigger he frees the smaller machine which at once glides along the battle plane wing and dives off. An Indian courtship may begin this way: An Indian boy at a dance may see a girl he likes. He gazes intently at the girl. If she likes him, she will return the look. At dances the women stay on one side of the house and the men on the other. If the girl welcomes the boy's attentions she may dance across the floor and touch him for a partner. When it comes time for him to select a partner he may indifferently pat her on the head and she will dance around with him again. He does not take her home. If he wants to talk with her he will place himself in her way as she starts to leave the dance, throw his blanket around her and, both wrapped in the blanket, stand and talk for a minute or two walle the others go by. After the talk he goes home with the men and she joins the women. The engagement may be made this way: The mother of the girl while visiting the mother of the son, may happen to say: "You ought to see the fine beadwork my daughter can do." To which the mother of the boy may say: "You ought to see what a big hunter my son it. He never goes out unless he brings in deer or buffalo."

TREVOLVER Y'S BANK HOMES Bad Mexican and 14-Inch Dagger Found at Dance That C. M. Wood, newly appointed deputy sheriff, has an "X-ray" eye is the opinion of his co-workers following an episode in the Mexican village near Anaheim last night. A party of deputies in scouring the county on the lookout for trouble of any sort, visited a dance at the Mexican settlement. As the men, approached the door, Wood noticed a man edge away and crowd behind a number of companions against a wall. Wood grabbed the man and searched him for concealed weapons, stating that the man looked suspicious. A full fledged dagger about fourteen inches in length was taken from the man's pocket. The Mexican was taken by the officers on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. The dagger was being shown as a curiosity at the sheriff's office today. TWENTY MEN AT WORK ON SANTA ANA RIVER DAM The Water Conservation association has twenty men and two teams at work on the debris cone at the mouth of the Santa Ana river, extending its work for the conservation of water.

The work is being done in accordance with a complete plan. LIVES OF LOCAL MEN IN DANGER WHEN FANATIC CUTS FALL LINE Anaheim Police Probe Case Reported Today By Frank Newman — Arrests Expected Soon. An accident resulting from the malicious under-hand work of a flendish fanatic and which would have caused serious and probably fatal injury to three Anaheim workmen, was averted this morning by Frank Newman, local paint contractor, when he discovered that the fall line suspending the platform on which the workers stand while painting the Valencia hotel had been cut. Only half a strand of rope held the platform seventy-five feet above the sidewalk and had the men, Tom Walton and Clifford Bush, endeavored to draw themselves higher the rope would have snapped, letting the men fall to almost certain death. The life of James Stephens, an ittinerant steeplejack, was also in danger as the block and tackle were used to hoist the worker to the top of the four-story building. ON SANTA ANA RIVER DAM The Water Conservation association has twenty men and two teams at work on the debris cone at the mouth of the Santa Ana river, extending its work for the conservation of water. All work is being done in a most workmanlike and substantial manner. It is said. The dam is being built of boulders, laid out on contour across the debris. The work is being done in accordance with a complete plan which, when finished, will make possible the distribution of water over several thousand acres of rock and boulder area. A new bank house has been built in which is also a reading room for the men. This enables the association to get a better class of men than is possible where good accommodations are not provided. BEACH TOWN MAN PAYS $25 FINE FOR CARRYING LIQUOR William Butler, an oil worker of Huntington Beach, was fined $25 for transporting liquor and $15 on a charge of intoxication by Justice of the Peace S. Armour at Orange this morning. Butler was arrested in Orange several days ago by Officer J. M. Pulley and told to appear the next morning. A bottle containing liquor was taken from him at that time. When he failed to appear as scheduled a search was instituted and his appearance this morning before Justice Armour was the result. Choral Union To Give Famous Light Opera The Orange County Choral Union is putting in a great deal of time in practicing for the famous light opera, "The Mikado," which will be given in Santa Ana on the evenings of November 22 and 23. The entire cast, under the direction of Professor Ellis Rhodes, has been hard at work since last spring and is prepared to offer a very finished presentation. The choral union is made up members from all parts of the county and it is hoped will be made a permanent organization. Tickets may be secured locally through Miss Pember at the Chandler-Cleveland garage on West Center street. AUTO CLUB TO ENLARGE OFFICE TO CARE FOR GROWING BUSINESS That the fall line suspending the platform on which the workers stand while painting the Valencia hotel had been cut. Only half a strand of rope held the platform seventy-five feet above the sidewalk and had the men, Tom Walton and Clifford Bush, endeavored to draw themselves higher the rope would have snapped, letting the men fall to almost certain death. The life of James Stephens, an itinerant steeplejack, was also in danger as the block and tackle were used to hoist the worker to the top of the four-story building. The discovery was made by Mr. Newman this morning after the men had drawn themselves to the third story. He yelled to the men cautioning them while the platform was lowered slowly to the ground. Examination of the rope revealed that the fiend had done his work recently—probably as late as last night, according to Mr. Newman. The cutting had been done with a very sharp knife, leaving the defect almost completely hidden. The case has been turned over to the Anaheim police with information which, if is thought, will lead to the apprehension of the guilty person within a few hours. Nature of the clews furnished the police by Mr. Newman are being withheld to afford the officers more secrecy in working on the case. Mr. Newman has offered a reward of $50 for the arrest of the fanatic or for information which will lead to his apprehension. "I have given the police information which I think will result in the man's arrest before morning," said Mr. Newman at noon today. "Investigation in the case will be continued until we find the guilty person and bring him to justice." The painters have been working on the exterior of the Valencia hotel more than a week and were at work on the cornice on the west side of the building this morning when the cut in the rope was found. MEXICAN AND HIS WIFE MAY SETTLE FUSS OUT OF COURT That the difficulties of Cruz Alvarez, Mexican, and his wife, who is a white woman, may be settled out of court, was the plan of Justice J. B. Cox when he heard Alvarez's story today. Alvarez has been held in the county jail since Friday night on a charge of disturbing the peace, sworn to by his wife, who asserted that her husband drew a knife and threatened to kill her if she did not allow him to take away certain articles of household furniture which he claimed were his prior to the marriage. Alvarez has a reputation of being a peaceful, hard-working man and was aided in court today by a rancher of AUTO CLUB TO ENLARGE OFFICE TO CARE FOR GROWING BUSINESS When arrangements can be completed and contracts given out, alterations will be made at the offices of the Automobile Club of Orange county. According to A. S. Ralph, manager of the club, increase in the business of the club has made it necessary to enlarge the office interior and change the arrangements to take care of the additional office help needed to carry on the affairs of the club. "We are growing daily," said Ralph, "and must therefore make provisions for additional employees to carry on our affairs." "When we moved into our present quarters, some time ago, we thought that we were to have sufficient floor space to take care of all growth for a considerable time to come. But we have become so well known during the past year or so and business has increased with such leaps and bounds that we have simply outgrown our present quarters. Now we must make ready for the future. "It is only logical to suppose that growing at the rate we have been, we will continue to grow. People of Orange county now recognize the Automobile Club of Orange county as one of the stable institutions of the county. They have confidence in it and its directors, and more and more of the county residents are placing their insurance with or through us yearly." Aged Woman On Way To Church Killed By Auto SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 14—Mrs. M. E. Foulke, 70 years old, of West Rialto, was instantly killed yesterday when she was struck by an automobile driven by John W. Campbell on the foothill boulevard. Mrs. Foulke was walking in church. Five people were injured in three other automobile accidents. Alvarez has been held in the county jail since Friday night on a charge of disturbing the peace, sworn to by his wife, who asserted that her husband drew a knife and threatened to kill her if she did not allow him to take away certain articles of household furniture which he claimed were his prior to the marriage. Alvarez has a reputation of being a peaceful, hard-working man and was aided in court today by a rancher of the Tustin district for whom he has been working. It is expected that a settlement will be reached through the medium of this rancher, who was requested by the judge to straighten out the tangle if possible without the further assistance of the court. Alvarez was released on his own recognition, but was warned by the court not to go near the woman. No date for a trial has been set, pending the outcome of the endeavor to settle the difficulty out of court. CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY FAVORITE IN GAME WITH STANFORD SAN CRANCISCO, Nov. 14.—California became a definite favorite today as probable victor in the Stanford-California football game as a result of the outcome of Saturday's football battles. California's overwhelming defeat of the University of Washington—the score was 72 to 3—and Stanford's difficulty in holding Nevada to a 14 to 14 tie, convinced experts that little short of a miracle can defeat the Bears when they meet Stanford next Saturday. California has a 51 to 6 victory over Nevada to her credit and the Washington team which the Bears crushed Saturday, only a week before had turned in a scoreless tie against Stanford. Today, Stanford supporters were admittedly downcast, yet they had not lost their fighting spirit. It is much easier to teach them to love the flag after they are taught to love soap.
