of Film Folk Belonging to
"Live Hundred"
SAY ARBUCKLE IS MEMBER
Lo Anccle. Sept. 10. Nero,
whoo lurid orgies have been n by
impulse unrcsirnincu rmy.
Tearing down the curtain of secrecy
that hns veiled the spectacular conduct
of a croup known as "The Live Hun
dred," investigators hnve begun a scn-
ntionnl disclosures of "parties nt
which expense was not permitted to
" W .' SZT" "'
cesses in drinks and drugs.
These investigators hnve drnwn n
colorful picture of the nsvcmblies in
'which the participants surfeited their
appetites fur drugs nnd lluuor.s and
J In which the hosts spent vast sums
'nnd considerable effort to nppense the
lustful demands of their guests.
Girls Lured to Wild Orgies
One s-ieh cent. In which the host
spent S'.'O.OOO for decorntions, is de
scribed as an affair in which drugs
were llbcrnll i-erved, goldfish deluged
with gin while their agonized contor
tions furnished play to the guests and
n movie girl called for "the most bau
tlful man" n her mate.
Those who attended will, it Is under
stood, be witnesses in the Arbuckle
case, in addition there will be called
Together with these revelations hns
come the announcement of the arrest
of n naval officer, n chief petty of
ficer and n cliliau for bootlegging for
"The Live Hundred."
In the very name of the group Is
found full substantiation of the em

are as scandalized by these disclosures
ns are other decent folk not connected
with the colony.
Detectives Peep In Windows
Though the investigations have been
going on quietly for some time they
have been projected into the light by
the Arbuckle case. Arbuckle, it is
snld, was a member of "The Live Hun
died." The disclosures nrc made by Captain

been asked. Put these names and a
full detailing of certain of the lurid
"parties" will be placed in the record
at Arhuckle's trial.
Perhaps the most sensational of the
exposures Is that involving a festive
event staged by n prominent male actor
of the streen. Concealed in a hedge
below the windows of his home, detec
tives viewed nnd noted the excesses
that proved of so extreme n nature ns
finally to nauseate and impel them to
leuve the party in disgust.
Guests Served With Drugs
From without, as the group sat down
nt thu long table in the "grotto." the
watchers saw a maid push n wheeled
ten tray in after extensive indulgence
by nil in drinks. On the trny wns an
assortment of needles, opium pipes,
morphine, cocaine, heroin nnd opium.
Koch guest hilariously helped him
self or herself to liberal doses of drugs
nnd selected needles or pipes ns the
individual desire demanded.
Put even this diversion quickly lost
its "punch." A new one wiu. created
b n motion-picture actress.
Standing on the stairs she cnlled in
high-pitched syllables that were inter
ruptcd as she turned now and then to
the white powder in her palm :
"I want the most beautiful man
here, I urn his."
Lights Suddenly Extinguished
What followed proved too much for
those nt the hedge to endure. They
pounded nt the uoors. Lights went
cut. Excited tones, then n hush. In
some manner the host got out. The
detectives found that drugs nnd needles
and pipes had been destroyed or con
cealed in the brief few minutes since
they had deninnded enttnnce.
The host came back, ringing nt the
front dour. He had driven up in nn
nutomobilc. He woie n nip, n motoring
ulster and goggle,. He had. wns his
explanation, been out driving. The
host angrily denounced the invasion.
He demanded sean li warrants. He
v.ns not arrested, but the guests were.
They were not prosecuted, however.
It was learned that the host had
made a pruct.ee of leaving his nuto-

said he would like to tell about it and
would give full details of the party and
nil the names nt the trial.
He said that he could not under
stand why the newspapers printed so
much about the case. Explaining the
ordered reservation, he said his attor
neys were arranging it.
Plans for the departure of Miss Hap
pc's body were disturbed by n passage at
arms between Mrs. It. M. Belmont,
who has been from the first on the
verge of hysteria, and Miss Lillian Gat
lin, niatrLx. Misu Gntlin Is known
in Snn Francisco .ns the organizer of
the annual ablution memorial day. Two
days ago, learning that none luid
thought to send llowers to lay on Vir
ginia Itanpe's, bier. Miss Gntlin per
formed that service. She also om
munlentcd with Henry Lchrnmn. fiance
of Virginia Happe, who is in New

instruction from Lehrman to accept
Miss Gatlln's offer to travel southward
with the bod v.
"She shall not go " declared Mrs.
Delmont heatedh. "There will be
serious trouble if she tries to. She did
not know Virginia Ruppe."
Mrs. Delmont claimed the privilege
for herself.
However, the undertaking company
produced a telegram from Lehrmun
saying: "Lillian Gntlin acceptable,"
And so it wns ordered.
Threats Against Arbuchlo
A new wor-y loomed in prospect for
Arbuckle in connection with his prob
able liberation on bail. This wns seen
in two incidents the statement of
Lehrman n few das ago that "Ar
buckle. even if he goes free, will have
to deal with me," und In n letter re
ceived yesterday by Harry Kelly, sec
retary of the Grand Jury, threatening
the comedian with death.
The letter, which was anonymous,
come from Sacramento. The writer
declared lie wns a relative of Virginia

statements :

LEAGUE ASSEMBLY
Interest In Arms Parley Turns
Geneva Body Into Mere
Debating Society
LATIN AMERICA MAY BOLT
By CLINTON W. OILBEBT
Stnrr rorrrnnnnclrnl Kfnlnit rnlille T,fslitrr
CovuHght, lttt, Iv Public I,ttarr Compnin
Washington, Sept. 10. Tho present
meeting of the League of Nations nt
Geneva is regnrded hero us showing
more signs of wenkness thnn nny pre
vious meeting. The League in com
pletely overshadowed by tho coining
Fnr Enstcrn nnd dlsnrmnmcnt confer
ences nt Washington.
On the lnrgcr international problems
such ns disarmament, which wns to be
one of its tasks, the League does not
function. South Amcrlcn, which hns
boundary disputes of Its own, does not
take them to the League, being desirous
of waiting upon the leadership of this
country.
The grenlcr nations which make up
the Council of the League nre more in
terested In co-opcrntlon with the United
States In the Supreme Council nnd in
the coming conference here thnn they
nro in the League, nnd in n Inrgc mens
urc they nnd the South American coun
tries control Its fnte.
When the Lenguo met Inst this
country wns definitely out ot Interna
tional nffnlrs, but Its position was
purely negative. The League had n
certain strength just because this
(ountry wns pursuing n policy of iso
lation. Today nil thnt Is changed.
The United Stntcs hns assumed a posi
tion of leadership in world affairs.
Moving Toward Disarmament
It Is moving townrd dlsnrmnmcnt.
It is seeking to establish n new con
cord in the Orient. It has entered into
cn-operntlon with the great powers of
Europe In the Supreme Council. Tho
direction which lnternatlonnl relntlons
take depends lnrgel.v upon the United
States, nnd tho United Stntcs hns
definitely cut the League covenant out
of Its treaty with Germany.
The lesult is that the Assembly of
the League is left in tho position ot n
mere lntcrnntionnl debating society,
while the real work of lntcrnntionnl or
gnnizntion is proceeding elsewhere.
The small nations which nre mem
bers of the Assembly are naturally de
sirous of maintaining the League. Thnt
U evident in the debntes nt Geneva nnd
lt is n factor to be reckoned with if
President Harding nims to set up n
substitute association.
The real vitality of the present As
sembly consists of the support which
the smnll nntlons of Europe give to It.
These nntlons feel thnt the covenant,
as Mr. Wilson caused it to be. drafted
ut Pnris, gives them more scope nnd
nuthnrity than is likely to be theirs in
nny new association to be built nround
the Supreme Council.
Latin Amcric Holds the Koy
The fate of the present Lcngue seems
to depend largely upon the attitude of
the Latin-American republics. If the
Latin American countries under our
leadership should desert the Assembly,
that body would become practically an
organization of smnll European stntcs.
The grenter Europcnn Powers would
be ns they now are. more Interested in
the Supreme Council than in the Coun
cil or Assembly of the League. The
Assembly in that case would tend to
diminish and Mr. Harding's opportunity
of erecting a substitute for it would be
improved.
The Lntin-Americnn Stntcs nre
playing nn uncertain part. At one
moment they seem about to give strength
to the League by referring their dis
putes to it. At nnother thej nre chnry
of taking n position which is opnosed
to the United States nnd they decline to
ask the arbitrament of the League.
They are playing n diplomatic gnme.
They menu to make the best terms they
can with the United States when the
Administration comes to forming n new
association. Thus they stay on the
fence, neither definitely abandoning the
Geneva Assembly nor fully casting In
their lot with it.
At one time the Administration
feared that the Lntin-Americnn coun
tries would cling to the League us a
means of escaping somewhat from the
