Prosecutors View:
Editor ''Not Guilty"
Wife Slayer Cool in Plea
and Wants to Go to
Death in Chair

Charles Z. Chaplin, who killed his
wife, on Monday. pleaded not guilty
TO the charge of murder in the first
degree before Judge Wadhams in Cen
eral Sessions yesterday Leave to
withdraw the plea within ten davs
vas granted.
The former city editor of "The
Evening World" stood in CONSPICUOUS
contrast to five other prisoners lined
up IN the court for arraignment. While
IN court he was cool and collected, and
during whispered conversations with
his counsel, Joseph Heating, and AS
sistant District Attorney Magee, to
whom he made confession, he seemed
July aware of his surroundings and
the reason for his presence in court.
Through his counsel he made a re-
quest to be permitted to attend the
funeral of his wife. The Judge took
the matter under advisement. but it
was Eater announced by the District
Attorney that it would not be granted.
>. After Chaplin was returned to the
1ombs Mr. Magee said that from his
observation Of the prisoner he was
sane. ut may be. nevertheless. that
hc is suffering from mental alteration
akin to Harry Thaw's condition." he
added.
Chaplin has complained of being de-
tanned in the Tombs instead of being
sent to hospital. He also was re-
peatedy said that he wished the whole
affair was over since the world holds
out no inducements for him to live,
and that the sooner he goes to the
electric chair the better. So far as
could be learned, he has not expressed
any disappointment at not having ful
filled his original intention Of com
mitting suicide.
The police have not as vet learned
the names of the brokers through
whom he made his reported invest
ments nor have they been able to
ascertain the amount alleged to have
been lost by him in Wall Street
Checks cashed by Chaplin for
small amounts have been reported TO
the District Attorney as having been
returned marked "irsufficent funds
CT IN. g." These were for a total Of
S205 cashed between Saturday and
Monday morning. What is puzzling
MIR. Magee is what became of the diff
ference between this and the Sc he
lad in his pocket when he gave him
self up.
The District Attorney will oppose
the appointment of a commission in
lunacy that is not made in the recular
form. 1t has been stated that opposi-
ton will be made to any plea of in
sanity.

Charges that the Brooklyn RAPID
Transit Company has been dismissing
motormen because they joined the
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and thus has tended to cripple the
city's transportation system were con
sidered by the National War Labor
Board at a session yesterday in the
City Hall.
At the outset Colonel 7. S. Williams
president of the company. declared that
Mayor Hylan, who is member of the
union, was "unj ustified" in asking the
board to intervene He challenged the
boards jurisdiction and said that all
hut 4 of the 450 employees of the com
rany who could be involved in the
charges had signed an agreement that
they had no grievances.
After ex-President Taft had insisted
the hearing proceed James II. Vahey,
attorney for the dismissed employees,
announced that sixteen men had been
let out because of their union activi-
ties.
In the hearing room, beside Mr.. Taft

Priest Here From
K US sia Recites
Bolshevik Horrors

The fearful conditions existing in
that part of Russia over which the
Bolsheviki have held sway were graph
ically described yesterday by the Rev.
Alexander Kukulevsky, pastor of the
Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic
church in Chicago. He spent a year
in Russia, arriving there shortly after
the revolution.
"The BolsheviA have conducted a
reign of terror that has no equal in
history" he said. II saw them exc
cute more than a score of Russian
army officers in a public place in Kev.
They dumped their bodies into a motor
truck, carried them away to ditch
and returned to execute others.
"A few days after the Bolsheviki
/ took klev they killed. publicly and
without trial, over 1000 officers, Just
because they were officers; In one
place saw over 600 such bodies.
"They killed dozens of the priests
of our church, robbing the bodies even
of the crosses at their breasts.
"They partially destroyed every
church in the city, and did the same
IL Moscow, there even wrecking, with
unspeakable vandalism the great
kremlin, which Napoleon saved from
harm.
"The Russian people of education
and understanding hate the Bolsheviki.
NO soldier returned from the front will
join them. The man from the firing
line despises them. Half of the Red
army is made up of men speaking only
German or Austrian.
The Russian people wanted inter
ventlon. They prayed every day
was there that the Allies would take
steps to save them. The Germans arc
everywhere, and are back of all of the
trouble. but the Russians themselves
are to blame for permitting themselves
to get into such terrible straits"
The Kew. DR.. Kukulevsky was in New
YORK to report to a meeting of priests
of the Russian Orthodox Greek Catho-
lie Church, held at 233 East Seven
teenth Street, on the result of a con-
ference of church heads in Russia, to
which he and the Right Rev. Leonid
Turkevick, dean of st. Nicholas's Ca
were sent as delegates
Frequently the conference in Kiev
was interrupted, the Rev. Mr.. Kuku-
levsky told the priests, by shells from
Bolshevik cannon, operated by Ger
mans, striking the building in which
they were meeting.
At the Russian conference patri-
arch was elected, who will hereafter
direct the affairs of the Church, in
stead of the Holy Synod, as in the
past.
Plans to raise funds for the Church.
which is impoverished through loss of
its subsidy from the Russian throne,
also were discussed
The Russian Orthodox Greek Catho-
lie Church, it is said, has approximate
ly 450.000000 communicates. of whom
there are 100000 in tie United States.

HUNTING TROUBLE

The Star regrets to report" that
one of our citizens, who has already
been warned by federal officers, has
again given vent TO his spleen.
He is reported, on the best of EVIL
dence, to have gloated aloud on the
reported German successes, and to
have said that the American army in
France was no better than a gang of
tramps.
1t is hard TO say what TO do with
this man. If there were a hundred
or so like him in Ocala there would
ere now have been a battle in our
streets. But he is only one, he has a
large family, and his neighbors hate
to hand him over to the authorities.
Right now, tho. with many Ocala
boys in France, with some probably
in the great battle raging, and the
probable announcement in a few
days that one or more of them has
been killed or wounded, the people
are not in any humor to hear them
referred TO as "tramps."
We hope this man will suddenly and
Immediately realize that he had best
keep his mouth shut. If he doesn't,
the inside of the county jail will be
the only safe place for him.

Moy Hee, proprietor OF chop suey

he visited his aged mother and 275,000
relatives, all members of the great
Moy family, at Sun Ming in the prov
ance of Canton. While he was there
Moy's son was married and Moy en-
tertained 235 guests at a big hotel
there for three days, spending 5000
for entertainment. From inquiries
made at Sun Ming, Moy learned that
his 275,000 relatives were not prop
erly provided with educational facili-
ties. While many of them were
wealthy, large number could not af-
ford the $12 year a child for educa-
ton. Moy has undertaken to raise
the sum of 100000 to build schools
and employ teachers in that vicinity.
He collected some of the fund from
rich Chinese members of the Moy FAM
lily, and Moy Back Hin, Chinese consul
at Portland, Ore, contributed $4,000
to the fund.
