nection with the death of Miss Vir
ginia Rappe, will split the motion pic
ture world wide asunder and lead to
startling revelations of doings at Great
Neck, L. I., and Hollywood/ Calif.,, it
is predicted here.
Already the most powerful interests
in the industry, it is said, are lining up
in opposing factinos. one group con
vinced of the big comedian’s blame

determined to "see justice done:”
It was rumored in New York Sunday
that the Arbuekle case would lead to
other startling disclosures concerning
"parties” staged by people of the mov
ing picture eampr, both> at Hollywood
and in the East.
One authority up in the theatrical
world remarked:
"The motion picture stars have been
riding to a fall for a long time. The

‘•The whole picture industry is aware
of what goes on at Great Neck mid
Hollywood. Thev huve long antici
pated that some tragedy would hip
pen. Stories of drug parties, licjibor
parties and other forms of debauchery
by certain individuals at various Him
places throughout the country are no
longer new. No one will be happier to
have this sort of thing stopped than t he
motion picture magnates and tire ma
jority of artists who feel that news of
i hese sessions has done much to weaken
the public’s former high esteem for the j
game and- those connected with it.”
j San Francisco.—Regardless of the
| final outcome of the case in which his
! liberty is at stake, the gay party
! staged here “ by Lioscoe “Fatty” Ar
| buckle, premier heavyweight screen
j comedian, jscomises to take first rank
in expensive social affairs.
If the estimates of Federal authori
ties as to the amount of Scotch whisky
aud Gordon gin consumed from Satur

vailing bootleg quotations w'a» some
where around $2,500.
Arbuckle’s bill for the three daysT
occupancy of the choiceet twelfth floor
suite of the St. Francis Hotel was no
small sum. The hotel’s rates are noted
for their, expensi. -ness. Teleohone.

lavish. They were not me&ti—and there
were many to be tipped.

He has three of the best attorneys in
the State. Their instructions are to
spare no amouut. to bring about ac

Arbuckle’s personal fortune is- estl-j
mated somewhere between $500,000 aDd
$1,000,000, There are those versed in
legal matters who make the prediction
that when “Fatty” gets through with
the law—whether inside or outside the
bars—there won’t be a great deal of

Then there is the big loss resulting
from the persuual withdrawal of five or
six big pictures dovv in circulation.

year are fixed at $500,000- by experi-!

are three unreleased feature films vul

Molasses On Stick Shows
Whether Gasoline Is Diluted
St. Paul. — Dittla dabs of molasses on
p aio pine sticks in the hands of 6-1 oil
inspectors in Minnesota have saved
users of gasoline thousands of dollars
during-the past year, according to
Hjalmsir Nilsson. State oil inspector.
Incidentally, this simple test for dis
i eo' eriag water in gasoline has gone
out from Minnesota to a dozen other
States.

On the theory that water is heavier
than gasoline and always-sinks to the
bottom,Mr. Nilsson devised the simple
Best a year ago. A stick dipped in
cheap molasses glides through gasoline
without showing any effect on the mo
lasses. Hut when waterMs encountered
the molasses comes off the stick. When
the stick is witbnrawn the exact
amount of water in the bottom- of- the
tank is clearly revealeii..
