TEH DAY PROTECTION HELP TO FISHERIES Expect Great Future Benefit to Result from Aided Run of Humpback Salmon. The ten-day protection which the state fisheries dpartment has thrown around the salmon In Puget Sound, closing the season from Sept. 5 to Sept. 15, is proving the greatest benefit that the fish could have had, and will yield untold returns in value to the fisheries, Ernest A. Seaborg, the director of fisheries, said today.

Mr. Seaborg has just returned from the San Juan islands where he has been checking up on the results of the ten-day closing. He reports that there is a big run of humpbacks through the islands and up to the Fraser river spawning grounds, the run being as large as any this year. This is the result the department of Washington and the fisheries department of British Columbl which declared a similar closed season there, had hoped for.

BUCKLE INDICTED FOR WOMAN'S DEATH Noted Film Star Held in Jail for Murder of Actress in San Francisco. COURT REFUSES GRANT HIM SPECIAL FAVORS Appearance Points to Rapid Prosecution of Case By District Attorney. BY M. D.

TRACY SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. (Fatty) Arbuckle was formally charged with murder today. Mrs. Dambina Maude Delmont, friend of Miss Virginia Rappe, appeared with District Attorney Brady in Police Judge O'Brien's court shortly after 11 a. m.

and swore to a complaint, charging Arbuckle with the murder of Miss Rappe. Mrs. Delmont collapsed in the courtroom after sv earing to tha complaint. District Attorney Brady followed the charge with an order forbidding the shipment of Miss Rappe's body to Los Angeles. Coroner T.

W. B. Leland announced the inquest would be started at 4 p. m. today.

These developments, coming in rapid succession after a brief meeting in the office of the district attorney. Between Brady, Mrs. Belmont and Mrs. Sldi Wirt Spreckels, were taken to mean that Brady had determined puon a course of rapid prosecution. Immediately afterwards Arbuckle was summoned to the courtroom after Captain of l)etectlves Matheson had told Police Judge O'Brien he would not permit Arbuckle to waive the formality of appearing In court.

"All prisoners must be treated -alike," Matheson insisted. The complaint sworn to by Mrs. Delmont charges Arbuckle did "wilfully, unlawfully, feloniously and with malice aforethought kill and murder Miss Virginia Rappe." The bailff reported that Arbuckle was conferring with his attorney. "Court Is adjourned for five minutes," Judge O'Brien announced. Then he turned to the bailff.

Instructing him to bring Arbuckle into court within that time and refuse permit the calling of any other prisoners aheud of him. "We won't sho-v man any favors here," O'Brien declared, plainly angry. Appears In Court Arbuckle finally appeared in court at 11:30. after two calls had been sent for him. His face was long, lined and showed traces of worry.

As he walked up to the bar before the judge's bench he clasped his bands across his stomach and his face twitched nervously. Attorneys Charles Brcnnan an.l Milton Cohen, for Arbuckle, asked an immediate continuance, but Judge O'Hrien refused, insisting that Arbuckle be arraigned. The clerk then read Arbuckle the complaint, filed a half hour previously by Mrs. Delmont. The district attorney said it was the one on which he was to be prosecuted and that the first complaint, filed Saturday night as a formality, was dismissed.

"Is Roscoe Arbuckle your truo name?" the court asked. "Yes," Arbucklo answered in a firm voice. It was the only word he spoke during the entire proceedings. Dy agreement of the attorneys and court the arraignment was then ordered continued until Friday morning at 10 o'clock. Attorney Brennan, for Arbuckle, announced he would ask that furthe" be behind closed doors, to protect Arbuckle from the curiosity of the throngs gathered In the courtroom.

When the arraignment was over, Arbuckle was led Into the judge's chambers Instead of being taken through the prisoners' door to the jail. This was rdone to avoid leading him through the crowded courtroom. After court adjourned, Arbuckle was photographed in the judge's chambers with the judge. PLANS TO ORGANIZE CHORUS OF LOCAL VOICES SOON A chorus of mixed voices is to be started on Tuesday evening, October 4. By arrangement with the school superintendent the meetings will be held every Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock in the High School Assembly.

Miss Alice Muench, who has recently moved to Olympia from Pittsburgh, will conduct this chorus. Miss Muench is a graduate of Beaver College of Music, in Pennsylvania, and of the Frank Dainrosch Conservatory (Institute of Musical Art) in New York City. She specializes in teaching piano and various branches of theory. Besides this she has had a great deal of private vocal training and a good deal of experience in all kinds of musical undertakings. It is Miss Muench's intention to keep the number of voices in the chorus limited so that she can give indivdual attention to each member and thus raise the standard of the work to a high level.

It is believed that with the full interest and cooperation of all members Olympia can establish an organization that will become famous throughout the state, as it is the object of the director to give public concerts as soon as the work reaches a point of artistic finish. At the first meeting an election of officers for a permanent organization will be held. The public is cordially invited to join, and can obtain particulars by communicating with Miss Muench, either by letter or telephone, at the earliest possible date, so that she may reserve a place for them in the chorus. A sufficient number of musical people have already agreed to join, so that active work may be taken up at the first meeting. Mrs.

E. E. Egbert will be the accompanist. INDIANS' CHANCES FOR PENNANT HURT BY DOUBLE WALLOP Buttered Beavers Nick Braves for Hold Lead at End of Week three more weeks to go, the Coast league race is still almost anyone's. Seattle's chances suffered a setback by the double defeat at Portland yesterday, but the Indians open an series at home today with the Beavers.

They have a chance to redeem their chances by making a sweep of this series. Los Angeles is still holding a nari row lead over San Francisco, with Sacramento a bare half game behind the Seals. Seattle had counted on winning a pair of games yesterday to climb up with the rest of the gang. The setback of two games is a serious one at this stage of the race. The four teams below Seattle are eliminated, so far as chances of winning any pennants are concerned, but they are still to be figured on as possible stumbling bl6cks for the others which are up in the front.

In the series which ended yesterday Seattle and Portland broke even with three games each. Seattle comes home from the last road trip of the year with an even break in the four series played in the south. When the team went to California Manager Kenworthy remarked that if he could get an even break on the road he Would win the pennant. He got the even break but the pennant winning he has yet to accomplish. Los Angeles took six out of eight games from San Francisco, pulling the Seals down from the lead, Angels going into that position for the first time this year.

Sacramento captured the odd gamp from Salt Lake, which was not as much as the Senators had counted on. Had the Sacs grabbed the Salt Lake series by more than a onegame margin they would have been out in front. Oakland took five games out ot eight from Vernon, but the Oak I standing was not bettered sufficiently to make the team a contender. While Seattle is trying to grab the whole series from Portland at Seattle: his week, Salt Lake will be enter- tained at Sacramento, where the Sen- 1 ators may do better than they did in the Salt Lake park. Oakland is at San Francisco and the Oaks, while, down In the rce, always give the Seals a tough battle and usually a drubbing.

Los Angeles is entertaining Vernon and should have no trouble keeping her place at the top' of the column. i Seattle finishes the season at home, playing San Francisco next week and the Angels the week following. With a lineup like this it looks like a fight ito a finish and the last two or three i i games of the season may pick the. I winner. Dance at Mt-Lanc Grange The second dance of the fall an'l winter series given by McLane Orange at Mud Bay will be given next Saturday night, September 17.

The dance given September 3 was very successful and a large attendance is expected again. The road is paved and Jays Jazz Jugglers will justify the journey. ANGELS JUMP INTO COAST LEAGUE LEAD N. Y. GIANTS GAIN True to the prediction made in this column early this week, one day's game brough a shakeup in Coast League standings that shifted the whole lineup.

Los Angeles awoke this morning to find the Angels heading the list by virtue of two wins yesterday over San Francisco. Sealtown awoke to find their pelts, leaders practically from the first of the year, relegated to third with a sickening thud. Sacramento, by virtue of a single win over Salt Lake, clung to second place. Seattle stumbled on the path against the battered Beavers and lost a game, remaining in fourth place and prolonging the agony. Nor was yesterday's shakeup confined to the Coast league.

The Giants winning from Brooklyn, while the Pirates were losing to the Cubs, went i into a virtual tie. The percentages I of the two leaders In the National circuit today look like this: Pittsburgh, won 80, lost 52, pet. New York 'won 83, lost 54, pet. 6058. I In the American the Yanks lengthened their lead over Cleveland by half a game, winning from Philadeljphia while the Indians were idle on account of rain at St.

Louis. The Yankee lead over Cleveland Is now one and one-half bames. MANY ARRESTS AS LANG'S MEN START SEATTLE CAMPAIGN SEATTLE, Sept. 10. a whirlwind drive against automobile drivers who have failed to secure motor vehicle operator's license, Louis M.
