Special Cable Dispatch.
Gairloch, Scotland, Sept. 27.—It is
assured that the reply to De Valera
may be considerably modified from
the draft submitted to the cabinet
ministers, before it is finally dis
patched.
It is now certain that it will not be
sent to Dublin earlier than Wednes
day and its publication in London and
Dublin may be delayed until later in
the week.
The ministers attach great impor
tance to the wording of the reply be
cause of the desire that this is to be
the last communication before the
conference.
It is learned that the reply of the
ministers will be conciliatory and ex
pressive of the desire for peace, and
the ministers are hoping that through
it “the puzzle of what De Valera re
quires as a basis for the conference
will be finally solved.

MAN OF MYSTERY’
District Attorney Receives Re
ports Divorcee, Who Shot
Miss Hanan, Was Not a
Suicide, but Was Slain.
New York, Sept. 27.—The murder
of Mildred E. Hanan and the death
of Mrs. Grace Lawes from a suppos
edly self Inflicted gunshot wound took
a sensational turn Monday, when it
was hinted that Mrs. Iarwes may have
been shot and killed by a “mystery
man" who, besides John S. Borland,
escort of Miss Hanan, was present
at the time of the tragedy.
While refusing to divulge the source
of his information District Attorney
Lewis, of Kings county, late Monday
afternoon admitted that another ex
amination of Mrs. Lawes' body would
be undertaken to learn whether the
wound that caused her death was
“contact" wound. He also asserted
that reports had come to him that
Mrs. Lawes had been slain.
“In Case of Accident to Me.”
Added credence was given this re
port, Mr. Lewis said, because of the
letter written by Mrs. Lawes shortly
before her death to Miss Billie Will
iams, trained nurse, in which slm
asked Miss Williams to notify rela
tives "in case of accident to me."
Several new witnesses will be sum
moned by the district attorney’s of
fice on the strength of the additional
information, it was asserted. It was
intimated that Miss Williams will be
one of them.
Alfred Hanan, son of the million
aire founder of the famous shoe lirm
by that name, was convinced Mon
day that his sister had been slain by
Mrs. Lawes, whom he accused of hav
ing been addicted to the use of drugs,
but as to the new angle of the mys
tery he was unwilling to venture an
opinion.
Mildred’s Body to Brother's Home.
The body of the slain heiress was
removed Monday from an undertak
ing establishment to the estate of her
brother at Sea Gate, L. I. Arrange
ments for the funeral, it was said at
the Hanan home, had not been com
pleted.
Meanwhile the body of Mrs. Lawes
continued to remain unclaimed at the
morgue. In one of her letters Mrs.
Lawes had requested that her re
mains be cremated and shipped to
Mrs. M. E. Ditmar, of San Francisco.
Up to this time no definite word has
come from Mrs. Ditmar as to the dis
position of the body and it will re
main at the morgue until claimed, or.
if not claimed within a reasonable
time, will be buried here.

SEMNACHER PLOTS
WITH BIMBI1 TO
SET 'FITTK'S' COIN
—DOMINGUEZ
Charges A1 Took Virginia's
Clothes to Extort Money—
External Violence Caused
Her Injury Says Beardslee.
BY ERNEST J. HOPKINS,
San Francisco. Sept. 26.—A1
Semnacher, state witness, was re
called to the stand in the "Fat
ty” Arbuckle murder hearing
Monday afternoon, at which time
Defense Attorney Frank Domin
guez precipitated a sensation.
Dominguez explaining' to
Judge Sylvain Lazarus the pur
pose of his line of cross examina
tion, declared:
"My intention is to prove that
Semnacher’s action in taking the
clothes of Miss Virginia Rappe
out of the St. Francis hotel and
to his home in Hollywood, was
part of a conspiracy in the part
of Semnacher, Earl Lynn and
Mrs. Bambina Maude Delmont,
the object of which was to extort
money from Mr. Roscoe Ar
buckle.
it is my uuy to prove wie ex
istence and to establish the facts
of this conspiracy, and I am pre
pared to do it.*'
Semnacher, after the seseion
ended, demanded to be brought
before the San Francisco county
grand jury Monday night, ae he
put it, ‘‘to be vindicated.”
He threatened to bring suit
against Arbuckle's attorneys for
their implied allegations that he
had taken part in a conspiracy
to extort money.
Semnacher was re-called aw a wit
ness at the opening of the afternoon
session. He was said to have stated,
since he testified Saturday, that his
conscience hurt him in regard to part
of the evidence he had given, and that
he wanted to set himself straight.
Earl Lynn, mentioned by Domin
quez. had not previously figured in
the case in any way.
Defense Bears Its Teeth.
The defense Monday bared its
teeth the first time in the. prelimin
ary hearing of the murder charge
against Koscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle.
It dgew from Dr. Arthur Beardslee.
prosecution witness, the statement
that on the evening he first attended
A irginia Rappe, immediately after the
party In Arbuckle's rooms, her body
had shown only one bruse—a super
ficial one oil the right arm.
It also elicited the physician's
statement that a bladder rupture such
as Miss Rappe suffered might have
been the result of the actress' own
struggles.
The latter declaration, supported
by the physician’s statement that a
bladder lesion might be caused under
certain conditions by “a slight fall”
and that he had personally attended
cases of bladder lesion not due to a
blow or other crude violence, appear
ed to take upon itself the importance
of the main line of the Arbuckle de
fense. x
Dominguez Accuses ,Beardslee.
A , third important line of admis
sion. brought out by Defense Attor
ney Dominguez in cross-examination,
was that Dr. Beardslee, when relieved
of the case by Dr. M. E. Rumwell, fol
lowed "professional ethics" and had
altogether failed to inform Dr. Rum
well of his belief that the girl was in
ternally injured.
He had not been asked, he stated, by
Dr. Rumwell, what was in his Judg
ment the matter with the girl, and
had not volunteered the information.
Dominguez brought out this fact in
such a way as to produce the picture
of Virginia Rappo as the victim, not
of Roscoe Arbuckle, but of "profes
sional ethics” that had kept the sec
ond doctor ignorant of the findings
of the first.
ttvuiu m ci mu v y wiamvi
In oilier words, the defense secured
two possible explanations of Virginia
Kuppe's death—her own contortions
in nausea as a possible cause of her
Internal Injury, and the Ignorance of
the second doctor as to the fact of
that injury—both of which remove
the blame from Arbuckle.
Dr. Beardslee. as far as the prose
cution was concerned, clearly estab
lished the fact that Virginia Rappe
showed symptoms of internal Injury
—notably intense pain in the lower
abdomen—as early as 7 p. m. on La
bor day, when he first visited her In
room 1227 of the St. Francis hotel.
This was a scant three hours after
she had been carried away from the
“party."
He was unshaken in his statements
that there were injury symptoms this
early In the affair. Dominguez failed
to establish the point he endeavored
to make, that Miss Rappe might have
been injured the next day by Dr.
Beardslee's own treatment.
Dominguez went at the witness
rough shod and the two men struck
fire.

RAILROADS IN RIS
iTCHELLSPEECH
As Corn Palaoe Is Dedicated
He Urges Farmers to Write
!To Harding and Senators
And Demand Lower Rates.
Mitchell. 8. D.. Sept. 27 (Special).—
Mitchell's new $200,000 corn palace
and auditorium wag dedicated Mon
day night. Gov. W. H. McMaster,
who delivered the dedicatory address,
found the question of railroad rates
a fitting subject with which to
christen the palace. Attacking the
rates and defending the fanners of
South Dakota In their fight against
them, the governor said;
"Railroad rates are strangling the
agricultural industry of this state and
the agricultural Industries of all the
other mid western states an well.
South Dakota farmers have just
raised 112,000,000 bushels of corn and
the railroad companies have demand
ed the value of just half that crop to
haul it to the terminal markets.
"Rates must come down and the
only way to get action for lower rates
is for every one of the farmers of
South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota and
Nebraska to write to their senators
and congressmen and the president
and insist on rate reductions. The
ratlroads say they are asking, and
making, under the present rates, just
6 per cent, on their investment. But
they figure their investment as all
their watered stock, so that as a mat
ter of fact they are really earning
from 12 to 18 per cent, on their ac
tual cash Investment. If enough
people write to Washington regard
ing lower rates the Interstate Com
merce commission will have to act.
It the present commission falls to
obey the demand of the people then
there must be a new commission.”
The new corn palace In receiving
its baptism Tuesday night was
packed to near capacity. All children
in the city were admitted free to the
building.
Corn, flax, oats and field grasses
form the principal decorative mate
rials of the palace this year and many
are the artistic designs which the
decorators have wrought with vari
colored grains.
Exceptional weather saw tne open
ing of tho corn palace and In view of
the failure of the Minnesota, Iowa and
Bouth Dakota fairs becauso of bad
weather, unusually large crowds are
expected to visit Mitchell for this
year's corn palace fete.

Alleged Bluebe&rdesa Appar
ently Not Worried but At
torney Determined She’ll
Be Convicted.
Twin Falls. Id., Sept. 27.—Re
vived by court activities from nerv
ousness which has been apparent
during her days of incarceration, Mrs.
Lyd6a Southard on Monday showed
the sparkle of her old vivacity. She
chatted with friends and attorneys,
laughed naturally in conversation
with court attaches and otherwise
showed a mastery of nerves which
was a source of wonder to those who
have watched the woman who is
charged with murder of four hus
bands and the brother of one of
them.
Taking keen interest in the queries
put to veniremen, she talked fre
quently with counsel, confident of her
own opinions as to the availability of
Jurymen.
During the afternoon session of
court, Prosecuting Attorney E. B.
Collins, of Billings, Mont., entered
court, and Monday evening was In
conference with attorneys for the
state.
"I am here to be of what help l
can, to follow the case to its finality,
and to take Mrs. Southard to Yellow
stone county, Mont., for trial on the
charge of having murdered her third
husband, Harlan C. Lewis there, in
the event she is not convicted here,”
said Mr. Collins.
The history of the Lewis case is on
all fours with that of the Meyers
poisoning, said Mr. Collins. The
symptoms attending the fatal illness
were identical with those attending
the Meyers illness and death, and
the same sort of flypaper, carrying
arsenic, was found about the Lewie
home.
The stomach of Lewis, whose body
was exhumed, showed the presence of
arsenic in killing quantities, he said.
Efforts to obtain a jury to try Mrs.
Southard is showing little results so
far.
Tuesday 60 more veniremen will ap
pear in court, and the effort to ob
tain a jury will bo continued. Pre
dictions are that the selections of the
jury will occupy most of the week.
Paul Vincent Southard, fifth hus
band of the accused woman, sat at
her side during (he session of court
Monday. Her parents did not appear.
