LOS ANGELES, Cal.—Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle. comedian, was rapacity to jmy %s a basis for a new Reparations treaty. There is reason to believe that previ us government reports from Berlin are of a character justify hope that if the French should Prove agreeable to the proposed p!;n for leparations reviS-on, no insurmountable objects would re main in the way cf an agreement as to the specific amount Germany Could and would pay. A stumbling block to such an agreement up to this time, offi cials here and in Perlin are under stood to have felt, has been the lack of :i channel for informal pre liminary exchange 'of views be tween Paris and Berlin*. Bdtish agencies hardly could offer their services, as Great Britain is. tJ-o holy committeed on reparations views in opjx>sltion to the French imsitiAn to be effective in liegotia lions to the Par s government. As the proposal approved by .the *'un„ government is seen here, it represents employment of Ameri can tinanic&l and governmental entry Into motion ^pictures after January 1, while members of the Los Angeles district federation of women’s clubs- announced they could “not recede from their oppo sition” to his plans. After Will k. Hays, head of the motion picture industry announced here Wednesday that Arbuckle might have another chance to make good the Los Angeles district federation adopted resolutions af firming a previous onej opposing his reappearing in motion pictures. Mrs. J. C. Urquhart, president of the district, stated that although Arbuckle, at his third trial at San Francisco had been acquitted of causing the death of Virginia Rappe, screen actress, the testimo ny was "of such a character as to bar him forever from appearing before a decent, self-respecting public.” JESUP, Ga.—Traffic^wan again about normal today on the Savan nah division of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad fallowing a wreck between AUenhurst and McIntosh, Ga. t early Wednesday night, result ing in forty persons being nijured, none seriously, when seven Pull man cars of passenger train No. 83. southgound, letf tne rails and turn ed over.
