Los Angeles Movie Colony
Takes Arbuckle to Bosom
"Fatty" Returns in Triumph From San Francisco
Scores of Film Favorites Attend Reception at
Home of Comedian Famous Smile
Back on Job.
By EDWARD J. DOHERTY.
Chirac Trllu-4)mlt ti v4 MK'lr.
Lot Angeles, Sept. 30. The Ar
buckle mansion in West Adam
trert it ablaze with lights tonight.
Large limousines drive up the street
to the house and groups of men and
women run, covered by parasols, up
the entrance. ,
"Fatty" has come home, bringing a
wife, has come in triumph from San
Francisco, where they tried to hang
him on a murder charge in connec
tion with the death of Virginia
Kappe, movie actress.
The movie actors and the actresses
are paying their respects to "Fatty"
who has con4e "out of a trap" and
to his wife, Minta Durfce Arbuckle,
who has returned to her native town
after five years.
. It is a glittering assemblage in the
mansion, a happy crowd. It seems
like a housewarming with a honey
moon couple and everything. The
phonograph plays in one room, glad
snappy ragtime and elsewhere a
grand pian ois telling everybody that
the "gang's all here."
. ' Smile Back on Job. ,
Fatty smiles very much, shakes
hands, murmurs, "Thanks, old boy,
I knew you were." or "that is very
kind of you, I'm 6ure," rolls brown
paper cigarets and laughs m the way
you saw him before they banned his
pictures. , ''
There he is, "Fatty," fallen from
his dizzy eminence trying in a dazed
way, to start back to the heights, a
little uncertain of his ability, a lit
tle worried perhaps, as to whether
his friends will help him, happy to
be on the up path again and sad
that he had left it.
And there, nevur far from him, is
his wife who, left him in the-days
of his world celebrity and rushed
back to him when he had been hurt;
a wife who seems to treat him more
like a dear, spoiled child than a hus
band. . ,
Wherever you see "Fatty" you
can find Minta and sowewhere in
the background you see Minta's

Hollywood met him today, Holly

Los Angeles saw him comingfrom

slew the fatted calf.

off the train. All the morning he had
been wondering, worrying, ponder

Alexander How at Degins Sen
tcuce of Six Moulin Im
posed Under Kansas In
dtitrial Court Law.
Flays Governor Allen
tty Ttat ANoclal4 riwaa.
Columbus, Kan., iept 3d. For
the second time in his long and bit
ter battle against the enforcement of
the Kansas industrial court law, Al
exander Ifowat, chieftain of the
Kansas union coal miners, went to
jail today.
Refusing to give a bond not to
call any more strikes pending his
appeal to the supreme court, a con
dition of taking the appeal, Howat
surrendered himself to Sheriff Wil
liam Harvey and was placed in the
Cherokee county jail to serve a sen
tence of six months. Me was con
victed in June of having called a
strike in violation of the criminal
provisions of the law. With him
went August Dorchy, the Kansas
union vice president, convicted of
the same offense and under the same
sentence. Both men were fined $500.
Flays Governor.
Howat's farewell to the miners
who gathered here by the hundreds
was spoken in a long speech he
made to them at the city park.
Howat not only bitterly con
demned the Kansas industrial court
and Governor Allen, but he defied
the international union of the miners
for the action taken at Indianapo
lis, directing him to put back to
work the Dean and Reliance miner.
He assailed the Kansas industrial
court and declared that it would
.1 . a .a
nave no part m maKing the wage
contract. He said that he would not
sit in. a room with the court
"If the court wants a real strike.".
Howat said, "let it ccme down and
try to get into this contract mak
ing." "
Law Not Enforced.
Governor Allen, Howat said, "is
beginning to realize that he has a
bigger job on his hands than he bar
gained for."
.. Howat declared that the industrial
court law had not been enforced and
would not be enforced.
"We say that the industrial court
taw is one hell of a Jaw," Howat
shouted. .. - t
Howat had no statement to make
before he went to jail except to call
attention to the "vote, of confidence"
he took at'thff conclusion of hi meet
ings ; He. asked if the miners intend
ed to stand by hint. There was a
great chorus of. "yes." .
' Motion Rejected. ,
Indianapolis,; Sept 3Q. By an
Overwhelming vote, the convention of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica, killed a motiort to require offi
cers of the union to repay a part of
their salaries which were increased '
in July, last year. ' President John
L. Lewis, in -asking rejection of the1
motion, said its adoption would brand
the officers in the public mind as
a land of thieves." r , i
The defeat of the motion was by
a vote of 2,866 to 1,540. Only five
district delegations, Illinois, Indiana,
Washington, Montana and Michigan,
cast a majority of their votes for
adoption. This division in the vote
was similar to that which marked the
defeat of Alexander Howat, the Kan- .
sas leader, who was directed by the '
convention to order strikers; to re
turn to work. - : :
( The roll call vote, fojlqwihg , that
in the Kansas cases, threw the con
vention far behind in its work and -the
administration forces tonight laid
plans for a speedup program. Final -
adjournment is not in sight, but re
turn transportation provided for the
delegates was dated as valid railroad .
fare until October 8. Completion of :
the roll call on the officers' salary
question was the only work done
by the convention. . ' .-.
