LITTLE MARY WEDS
DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS
BUT TROUBLE Is BREWING AND
INVESTIGATION MAY YET LEAD
TO SETTING ASIDE OF THE
NEVADA DIVORCE DECREE

Advices from Los Angeles, Calf,
state that Mary Pickford and Douglas
Fairbanks were married there last
Sunday. They obtained a license on
Saturday and the ceremony was per-
formed on the following day by the
Rev. ]. Whitecom Brougher, pastor
of the Temple Baptist church.
Neither the bride or groom could be
located following the ceremony.
A Carson City dispatch says the
state attorney-generaPs Office is max
ing a careful investigation of the
record in the Mary Pickford divorce
case for the purpose of ascertaining
whether there were Irregularities, or
evidence of fraud or collusion that
will justify legal action to have the
decree set aside.
This statement was made b!
Robert Richards, deputy attorney
general, who is conducting the in
vestigation.
II have been conducting a careful
investigation of the Pickford case
heard at Minden before Judge Frans
p. Langan. for the last couple o
weeks" said Richards. I'm case the
records disclose Irregularities o.,
evidence of fraud or collusion that
will justify action being taken by tn
state, l have no doubt but what Al
torney-General Fowler will act.
II will submit the results OF my in
vestigation to Attorney-General Fow
ler as soon as it is completed. JUS
at this time, however, l am unable
to make any definite statement as to
what the report will show, because
my Investigations are not completed"

HARRIS.CHAPLIN DIVORCE
MAY BE NEXT SENSATION

Apopros of the divorce industry in
Nevada, which, whether or no 1t adds
to the moral standing of the state, is
an existent fact, ii can be said almost
positively that the next cause celebre
which will emblazon court records
will be that of Mildred Harris versus
Charlie Chaplin, the noted movie
comedian.
Arrangements for this event are
now being conducted in Los Angeles
and only await the termination of the
conferences now being held by the
attorneys of the respective parties to
the case.
The stumbling stone is the amount
of settlement and the charge that Is
to be preferred in the complaint.
Chaplin is of a very acquisitive ma
ture and hates to let go. hence his
objection to the money demands that
Mildred has made.
But she threatens, so it is stated.
hat unless he does come through
handsomely she will prefer more
serious charge than that of deser-
tion, and at this he stands aghast,
as it brings other matters into the
clearing.
Anyway, the web is being weaved
and it will probably wind up in Ne
vada, and possibly in the Carson VAL
ley.-[Carson City Daily Appeal.

.SCRUGHAM RETURNS
FROM WASHINGTON
THINKS BILL TO AID SERVICE
MEN WILL PASS; CALLS FOR
TWO BILLION EXPENDITURE
COVERING TEN YEAR PERIOD

J. G. Scrugham, state engineer, who
has been at Washington where he
has been in conference with other
representatives of the American Le-
lyon regarding legislation for the aid
of soldiers, has returned to this state
A bill has been presented to the ways
and means committee which, it Is
predicted, will meet with approval.
In substance the recommendations
provide that all men who have served
in the military or naval forces of the
United States during April 6. 1917,
and November IL. 1919, and have been
honorably discharged therefrom or
placed in the reserve, or are still in
the service, shall be entitled to and
shall have the right to exercise their
option in receiving the benefits men
toned in one and only one of the fol-
lowing titles:
First, land settlement aid; second,
home aid; third, vocational training: /:
fourth, adjusted compensation at $3.50
for each day served before November
II, 1919.
In order to carry out the provi-
sions of the bill the government will
have to spend $780, 100000 in ten
years. said Scrugham, "but the gov
ernment provided greater sum to
take care of losses sustained by the
munition manufacturers when the
war ended.
Provision is made in it so that Ne
vada and the other Western states
will be fully protected under the land
reclamation scheme and if the bill is
passed, money will be available to
meet the million dollar state bond
issue. passed at the last session OF
the legislature, and contingent on the
passage of an act appropriating a
similar sum in federal funds"

TRAP NO MORE BEAVER

Yesterday was the last day on
which beaver pelts may be shipped
out of the state, unless the party de-
string to ship makes satisfactory
proof that the beavers were killed
prior to March 81, 1920. A ranch
hand working on the river, not far
from town. trapped fifteen beavers
this winter, without losing any time
from his regular employment, and
this furnished him with cigarette
money to the amount of little over
5000.

COMMUNISTS USING R.R.
STRIKE FOR OWN END
Department of Justice Has Definite
Evidence of |. w. W. Part in Revolt

Washington, April 14-(Special)
Evidence obtained by the Department
of justice was said today to show that
the Russian Communist Information
lie is undertaking to use the railroad
strike as vehicle for the creation of
a mass strike in the United States. Re-
ports from federal agents were said
to have disclosed that the Communist
party was financing and otherwise aid
ing the strike through the agency of
the l. w. w.
Evidence which the department has
received was declared to justify the
statement that the strike was to be
merely a step in the well-known plan
of the Communist group and that the
end and aim was mass strike to be
followed by revolution.
Reports regarding the Communist
lnternationale's part in the strike
were understood to have been laid be-
fore President Wilson and the cabinet
today by Attorney General Palmer but
those present persisted in their 81
lence as to what decision has been
reached at the cabinet session.

CONTESTS IN NEITHER PARTY
Unless Presidential Candidates Get in
Race There viii be no Primary

With the striking of the clock at
midnight on Tuesday the time for the
ming of certificates of candidacy for
Congress and delegates to the Repub-
lican and Democratic State conven-
tions, expired. There will be no con-
test insofar as Garrett county is con-
cerned over delegates to either of the
parties state conventions, and there
will be none with respect to the Con-
gressional candidates in the Sixth Dis
trict of the state, as just four candi-
dates as delegates to each of the con-
vention filed their papers with the
Board of Election Supervisors. Mr..
Zihlman, for Congress, will be unop-
posed for Republican nomination. and
State Senator Mish, of Washington
county. occupies a like position with
respect to his candidacy for Congress,
so, unless the various Presidential
candidates get busy and have their
certificates for nomination in the office
OF the Secretary of State at least fif-
teen days prior to the date set for the
primary, which is May 3rd, there will
be no primary election held in this
Congressional District at least. In
other sections of the State outside of
the Sixth District there are number
of opposing candidates in the same
party and this will necessitate the
election machinery being put in mo-
ton.
The candidates whose papers are in
possession of the local Board of Su-
pervisors. are
For Republican nomination for Con-
gress, Hon. Frederick N. Zihlman, of
Allegany county. His Democratic OPP
ponent at the fall election will be
State Senator Frank w. Mish, of
Washington county.
