Out of Prison,
To Hunt a Job
Brindell Aid, a\fter Being
Freed on Parole, Visits At?

See Mother in Hospital
Mum on Building Trades
Former Walking Delegate
Without Funds; To Ask
Dismissal of Indietments
Under the parole granted by the
Parole. Commission, Peter Stadtmuller,
one of the lieutenants of Robert B.
Brindell, the former building trades
labor boss, was released from Black- ?
well's Island yesterday. Stadtmuller
had served three of the six months'
sentence imposed by Justice McAvoy
after his conviction on a charge of
extortion.
Stadtmuller was taken to the Munic?
ipal Striding yesterday morning, where
the parole papers were made out and
he was released.
Accompanied by hia brother, John
Stadtmuller, the 'former walking del?
egate went to the office of his attorney,
Andrew F. Murray, at 50 Church Street.
Murray is an old friend of Stadtmuller
and his brother, having known them
riaring his five years of service as
Assemblyman. Stadtmuller said he was
going out to look for a job. but beyond
that had nothing to say. He is a car?
penter by trade and was foreman of a
squad of carpenters during his term.
Silent on Labor Question
Stadtmuller would not answer a ques?
tion as to whether he thought he would
have trouble with the Building Trades
Council, saying that ho was not famil?
iar enough with conditions at present
to be able to discuss them.
From his lawyer's office StadtmuUrr j
went to the Hospital for Kuptured and j
Cripph-d, where bis mother, eighty
years old. is recovering from injuries
suffered in a fall. He then wont to his
home atr106 East 176th Street.
Attorney Murray said that Stadtmul?
ler, so far as he knew, was without
funds, and that while lie was im?
prisoned his children had obtained efn
ployment by which they supported
themselves. Regarding the two indict?
ments still pending against Stadtmul?
ler, Mr. Murray said he would make
a motion that they be dismissed in a
few days, and that he expected the
motions would be granted without op?
position.
McAvoy Urged Reduction of Term
Eli Neumann, of the Parole Commis?
sion, said that there had been no de?
lay in Stadtmuller's release. In ap?
proving the six months' sentence, he
said, Justice McAvoy. in a letter to the
commission, remarked that he never?
theless would recommend a reduction
to three months, because of the as?
sistance Stadtmuller had given the
pTosecution and the premises that had
been made to him.
The Parole Commission at first re?
duced the sentence to five months, but
upon the plea of Special Deputy At?
torney General Stanley L. Richter took
off two more months, making the term
three.
Stadtmuller was charged with having j
collected graft money for Brindell from
contractors. He was convicted on June
13 last.

Women Vigilantes Lead War on
Debaucheries of Screen Stars
__
Picture Makers a\lso See Need of Cleaning House if
Public Is Not To Be Alienated by Revela?
tions Following Arbuckle "Party"
Spcetnl Dispatch to The Tribune
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16.?The Rappe
I tragedy has brought to a climax af
! fairs in the motion picture colonies
j which have long been calling for re
; strictivc attention. Men and women
i watching the trend of affairs have been
predicting that some one of the orgies
staged by certain stars would end just
as Roscoe Arbuckle's party resulted
for Virginia Rappe.
The Women's Vigilance League has
taken a decided stand on the proposi?
tion of cleaning up the motion picture
industry and making impossible the
wild night scenes and drunken de?
bauchery that have marked some of
these "parties." The best element in
the screen business itself also sees a
golden opportunity to institute some
reforms urgently needed, while publi?e
attention is focused on the sorry fate
of Miss Rappe. The manufacturers
realize that the public wili not patron?
ize pictures in which principals who
have figured in debaunches are
shown. That is, the stars must be
reasonably clean and decent in their
personal life, or thoir usefulness as
motion picture attractions ends at once.
\iquor Plentiful and Easy to Ge*
Heretofore these orgies h.nve been
fairly well covered up. It is admitted
they were frequent. As a rule, they
were held in the homes of the stars or
in the home of some friends. It was
only the cheaper actors and actresses
of the "piker" variety who staged
their revels in the hotels and public
places. These latter, generally, were
tame affaira as compared with the
"house parties" put on at some of the
magnificent homes where all details
could be readily suppressed. Liqum
was always plentiful. California has
not taken kindly to the Eighteentn
Amendment, and there ha?, never been
any trouble in obtaining an unlimited
supply of wet goods. This was proved
to the satisfaction of everybody during
the Democratic National Convention in
San Francisco. California prides itself
upon its open-handed hospitality, and
if a guest desires hard liquor it must,
be forthcoming, regardless of any laws.
The Golden State makes its own laws.

Weeks to Hear Ford's
Muscle Shoals Plans
Army Engineers To Be Present
When Technical Experts Call
Monday on Secretary
From, The Tribune's Washinaton Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.?Engineers
and waterpower experts representing
Henry Ford will confer with Secretary
of War Weeks and army engineers
Monday on the details of the offer
made by the Detroit manufacturer for
the Muscle Shoals nitrate and water
power properties, Mr. Weeks was ad?
vised to-day. After the technical con?
sideration of the offer Mr. Ford will
come to Washington to take up the
financial end of the proposal.
Major General Lansing H. Beach,
chief of engineers, will head the staff
of engineer officers who will advise
j Secretary Weeks in his conference with
the Ford experts. It is believed that
the War Department officials will place
before the visitors their objections to
some of the provisions of the Ford
offer involving the production of water
power at the plants.
The proposal to take over the gov?
ernment properties at Muscle Shoals
made by C. F. James, of Chattanooga,
Tenn., last week to Mr. Weeks was
made public to-day by the department.
Mr. James makes the flat bid of $5,000,
000 for the general plants, land and
material, and will pay a fixed yearly
rental for a period of ninety-seven
years for waterpower developed, rang?
ing from $1 a horsepower for the first
year to $6\50 at rhe ninth year and

ty for Prevention of Cruelty to Chil?
dren in Jamaica Children's Court yes?
terday that his aunt, Mrs. Detta Rus

AKRON, Ohio, Sept. 16.?Five per
j sons were being held to-night in con
| neetion with the murder of Harry Sin?
clair, forty years old, Akron sportsmen,
1 who was killed yesterday while en
i route between Cleveland and Akron
i with another man and two women. The

j The fact that there were no blood

one of the men would be released to

Logan Miiiers Evade Quiz
j Threats Keep Grand Jury From
Getting Desired Testimony
LOGAN, W. Va.. Sept. 16.- A specia.
j grand jury's investigation of recent
j disorders on the Boone-Logan counties
border continued to-day. Members of
the United Mine Workers of Amorie?
clean up the motion picture Colonies
the Women's Vigilance League must bo J
taken seriously. It has among it.H I
membership descendants of th<- m< n .
who served on vigilance committees in j
tho old wild days, and they were
capable men for the work at hand. Tin*
women recently interested themselves
in the war on notorious gangsters, with
the result that some of the offenders
have been lynched and others sent, to
prison for life or long terms. The
disorderly element in the motion pic?
ture business will lind in these women
opponents not to bo underestimated at
any stage of the encounter.
The tragedy at the St. Francis Hotel
also gives the prohibition officials ?.n
opportunity to get into the general
fight, and they are welcoming the
chance to gain a foothold while public
indignation is at fever heat.
Federal Agents Enter Colonies
Ten special agents of the Federal
prohibition enforcement division were
to-day en route to "Movieland," sent !
by Special Attorney ("encrai Robert H.
McCormack, who ordered a complete
investigation of conditions in Holly- j
wood and other motion picture centers i
around Lor, Angeles, as a result of Ar- I
buckle's fatal party.
E. Forrest Mitchell, state enforce- j
ment agent, is already in Los ?ngeles,
and it is believed the orders of Mr.
McCormack were issued as a result of
advices from him on conditions dis?
closed.
District Attorney Brady, at a confer?
ence with the Federal prosecutor,
turned over all of the evidence he had
obtained with reference to the uso of
liquor at Arbucklc's entertainment.
"No matter how high the investiga?
tion reaches, spare no one," Mr. ?
McCoiaa'ack told his agerrts to-day. I
"The guilty must be punished. The
conditions must bo so changed that ?
another 'Fatty' Arbucklc orgy will be j
rendered impossible."*
Ai. indication that orders had come ,
from Washington for a thorough j
clean-up of the whole situation was I
seen not only in McCormack's activity, ?
but also in the fact that John Exnicios,
field agent of the Rocky Mountain dis?
trict for the National Prohibition Com?
missioner, is also on his way to Los
Angeles to head a flying squadron.
from the Coal River district being I
heard.
The jury learned that "warnings j
threatening persons who give testi- i
mony had been posted on houses and I
trees in Coal River valley, and that I
men who took part in the march from I
Mannet and leaving that region for un- |
announced destinations.
Arbuckle to
Go on Trial
For Murder
(Cnntlmii*-! from p??? ono)
i . .. - .i . .
that the correct charge involved in the!
(Arbuckle case was murder. Under such !
'circumstances it is his imperative legal
! duty to proceed with the complaint al?
leging murder now on lile against the !
defendant, i\l r. Arbuckle.
"It is the Bole province of the trial
jury to determine, after the evidence j
has been taken, in the event it should
?nd the defendant, guilty, whether the
verdict should be one of murder, man?
slaughter or any other crime compre?
hended in the charge, and also to fix
tiic degree thereof."
The concluding paragraph of Brady's
Sfafltcment reveals that Arbuckle, al
ilbough he is brought to trial on a
chiarge of murder, in ease of convic?
tion, need not necessarily be found
gvtr) lty of murder. It is within the dis?
cretion of the trial jury to return a
vo'dict finding the defendant either
gnu'ty of murder, fixing the degree, or
guilty o( manslaughter, with a recom
montdation as to the penalty.
His $25,000 Car In Danger
Art a result of investigations by the
Fedttral prohibition officials who went
to los Angeles to discover the source
of t!u- abundance of liquor that flowed
at. th?' Arbuckle party in the St. Francis*
Hotels and their return to this city
with what is said to be strong evi?
dence,. Arbuckle may see his gorgeous
$25,000 automobile, which hns been the
envy >{tf his associates in the film world,
seized by the government as tho
vehicle; which illicitly conveyed much
of the 'liquor from Los Angeles to the
'scene <rt* the tragic Labor Day revelry
here.
The federal agents have "been in?
formed .that only half of the forty
quarts of- liquor said to have been con?
sumed at* the party was brought here
in Arbuc&lc's machine. The rest was
supplied tv Arbuckle in the hotel by a
"tall, thin .man" and a "dark stranger."
The source of the liquor mysteriously
obtained by Arbuckle in the hotel is
being thoroughly investigated.
The first outsider, besides his man?
ager and attorneys, who has talked
with Arbucki'o was a friend from Los
Angeles, who called upon his yester?
day. The fat?t was brought out in the
conversation that the comedian ex?
pected to return to motion pictures if
circumstances permitted. His friend
said to-day tha'.t Arbuckle was confident
of being acquitV.ed, and that it was his
intention to retavrn to Los Angeles im?
mediately upon his release on bail,
and in the event", of his acquittal to re?
sume his picture-'work.
Manslaughter Charge Up To-day
Arbuckle will appear before Superior
Judge Loudcrback 'to-morrow morning
on the manslaughter*.- charge.
Following is a summary of whet may
befall Arbuckle as a result of the de
cisi?n of the District Attorney to
prosecute on the charge of murder:
After tho preliminary hearing on
the murder charge next Thursday be?
fore Police Judge Lazarus, it will be
within the power of the latter to hold
Arbuckle for trial before the Superior
Court on a charge of murder, or. if in
(he. opinion of the court, tho evidence
dors not substantiate a charge of mur?
der, to hold the defendant for trial
on the charge of manslaughter, or, as
an extreme measure to dismiss the
charge.
Should Judge Lazarus decide thac
the evidence to support n murder
charge is weak, and should he reduce
the charge to manslaughter, Arbucklc
then could gain his liberty on bail,
pending trial in the Superior Court.
Should Judge Lazarus hold Arbucklc
for trial before the Superior Court on
the murder count, his trial will pro-?
ceed- before a jury in the Superior
Court.
Jury Can Ask Life Term
In case of conviction on the murder
charge, the maximum penalty is hang?
ing, or, on the recommendation of the
jury, life imprisonment in the state
penitentiary.
It ia within the discretion of the
trial jury, even though the defendant
ia on trial on a charge of murder, to
find him guilty of the lesser crime of
manslaughter, or to fix and reduce tho
degree of the crime.
Should this occur, and Arbucltlo be
convicted on a charge of manslaughter,
the maximum penalty for this offegise
is imprisonment in the state peniten?
tiary not to exceed ten years, or less
if the jury so recommends.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept I? (By The
Associated Press).?District Attorney
Brady has the support of the Board of
County Supervisors in his prosecution
of Arbucklc, it was shown to-day when
the finance committee of that body ap?
propriated $1,000 for immediate ex?
penses of tho trial and promised more
when needed. Brady had asked the
board for additional funds, declaring
much wealth would be expended by the
defense.
A development to-day was the an?
nouncement that Dr. Arthur Beardslee,
house physician at the St. Francis Ho?
tel and the physician who first attend?
ed Miss Rappe, is being sought by the
authorities. Milton T. U'Ren, Assist?
ant District Attorney, announced ?ate
to-day that he had not been located
and asked the newspapers to assist in
the search. Dr. Beardslee is wanted
for the purpose of giving testimony
before the grand jury,regarding cer?
tain phnsea of the medical attention
given Miss Rappe, U'Ren said.
Mrs. Bambina Maflde Delmont, who
swore to the murder charge on which
Arbuckle to-day appeared in court,
viewed Miss Rappe's body to-day and
is reported to have suffered a partial '
collapse. The body, according to pres?
ent plans, will be taken to Los Angeles
on the Lark, a Southern Pacific expresa |
train, late to-night.
Robert H. McCormack, assistant
United States Attorney-General in
charge of liquor prohibition prosecu?
tions, said that he expected to present
to the Federal grand jury Tuesday evi?
dence that liquor was served and con
_""? ?T-^-S ???????
?umed at the party -iven by Arbuckle,
in which Miss Rappe was declared to
have received her fatal injuries.
Subpoenas were issued to-day iura
moning Lowell Sherman and Fred Fish
bnck, declared to have been guests at
the party, to appear befor ethe United
States Grand Jury hero.
Tells of Forty Quarts of Liquor
Sperman and Fishback were ques?
tioned yesterday concerning liquor sai?!
to have been consumed nt the Arbuckle
party. According to Robert Camarillo,
Assistant United States Attorney, Fish
back said more thao forty quarts of
liquor were consumed in three days at
the Arbuckle apartments.
Witnesses In the case are being
watched and guarded by police to pre?
vent their possible intimidation. Po?
lice officials said this step was taken,
in some cases, at the request of wit?
nesses themselves.
Among those in the courtroom to-day
was a committee from the Women's
Vigilance Committee, an organization
mndo up of club women, which has
pledged itself to assist the authorities
in every way in investigating the case.
Arbuckle yesterday received twenty
six telegrams and 101 letters, sent to
him care of the city jail. He passes
his time in his cell reading his mail,
telegrams and magazines, according to
prison attendants. He avoids reading
newspapers, they said.

Heir to 4 Million
Denies His Mother
Opposed Marriage
William E. Smith Refutes
Charges of Niece, Who Is
Contesting Will; Receiver
Asked by Mrs. Nugent
In an additional affidavit filed with
Justice Lydon yesterday, William E.
Smith, heir to $4,400,000 in the will
of his mother, Mrs. Roxey Smith, who
left an estato of $6,000,000, denied
that his mother was opposed to his
marriage to Mrs. Claire Staley Smith,
as asserted by his niece, Mrs. Beatrice
Provost Nugent, of 580 West End
Avenue.
Mrs. Nugent is contesting the will
of her grandmother, Mrs. Smith, whoso
provision for the niece was a trust
fund of $600,000. Mrs. Nugent claim-,
half of the $4,400,000 left to Mr. Smith,
her uncle, by virtue of an alleged
agreement between her and Mr. Smith,
before they knew how the will read,
that they would share their legacies
equally. One consideration of thi.s
agreement, she .said, was that she. keep
from her grandmother the inowle-ie-?
that her son, William E. Smith, had
married.
Mrs. Nugent also moved in the Su?
preme Court to restrain Mrs. Claire
Staley Smith, wife of William E.
Smith, from removing from safe do
posit vaults forty-four mortgage!,
valued at $2,500,000, which her hus?
band has turned over to her and which
are a part of the estate left by .Mrs.
Roxey Smith. Mrs. Nugent also wants a
receiver for the property.
It was in ihat proceeding, now before
Justice Lyden, that Mr. Smith filed his
affidavit. He said his mother was
cognizant of his intention to marry,
that she knew his bride because she
was the widow of Nicholas J. Smith,
an uncle, and that his mother gave her
consent to the marriage. Thus, Mr.
Smith intends to show that there was
no occasion for him to enter into the
alleged 50-00 agreement with hia niece.
He also added that his mothea* was
very fond of his wife.
Another affidavit submitted was by
Mrs. Nettie L. Cale, a niece of Mrs.
Roxy Smith. She said that her aunt
was unaware of the marriage of her
son to the actress. A similar affidavit
was made by William D. BraineTd, a
nephew of the decedent.
