CHAPLIN'S WIFE
DRoFs DIVORCE

New York, Sept. 14.-Mildred
Harris Chaplin will not give Charlie
a divorce. Despite the sorrow she
is alleged to have suffered from the
naughty indifferences and adicaism
of the great comedian of the films,
Mildred has changed her mind. She
now claims one half of Charles
property, estimated at S3,000,0OO.
This was the statement made by
Henry j. Goldsmith, former assist
ant district attorney, who has been
retained by Mrs. Chaplin as her
counsel.
Mrs. Chaplin came East a few
weeks ago for her vacation Mr..
Goldsmith said. "She told me
Charlie had made a wreck of her
life so she had to quit work for sew
eral weeks. In view of the fact her
husband had abandoned her and
fled the jurisdiction of the Califor-
mia courts, where she was seeking a
divorce, she has decided to let the
action drop and will not give
Charlie his freedom.
Il have told her under the laws
she is entitled to so per cent of all
of Mr.. Chaplin's property, both real
and personal, and wherever situated
which came into his possession from
the time of their marriage on Octo-
ber %, 1918. l am informed Mr..
Chaplin is worth about S3,000,000
and part of his property is in the
name of his brother, Sidney"
Mr.. Goldsmith said if settle
ment satisfactory to Mrs. Chaplin
could not be arranged then suit
would be begun to tie up all or
Chaplin's property, on the ground
he is British subject, who has
threatened to go back to Englnd and
never return.
Mrs. Chaplin said their martial
troubles were due to her husbands
socialistic theories, which che liked
to talk about and wanted me to
practice"
But Charlie wasn't losing any sleep
over his troubles, which were to be
subject of a conference between at
torneys for both sides Monday af-
ternoon. When reached at the tele-
phone at he Ritz Carlton, where he
answers to the name of Mr.. Spencer
he said he wanted to sleep and
could not be disturbed until he
woke up at o'clock.

newspaper followed an editorial de-
mand by it today for a statement
from the candidate on prohibition.
The governor said that prohibition
was an "extraneous ISSUE" The
amendment had been added, "and
the quesion now is it's enforcement"
To Enforce All Laws ,
Stating that on March next he ex-
pected to take the presidential oath
to enforce the constitution and the
laws, the governor said: That oath
will not be violated. Every law will
be enforced" Workman's conpensa-
ton, mothers pension and other So.
cial legislation in Ohio also were out
lined to the audience of women and
many men. In discussing the league
of nations Governor Cox said that
the great force behind it is its moral
force" Denying that the league
could order American soldiers over
seas, he said "the action of the coun-
ell of the league must be unanimous
and America will have the veto.
Even a unanimous vote of the council
is only advice and amounts to moth
re ~
To an audience of women this af-
ternoon, Governor Cox made another
statement in regard to the liquor
question, pledging himself to "en-
force all laws regardless of what in.
terest may be affected"
The governor addressed two large
audience at the Auditorium here,
after speaking early today at the Sa-
lem, Ore, armory. There was marked
improvement in the condition of his
throat, and upon leaving late today
for Eastern Oregon and Idaho re ex-
pressed confidence that hoarseness
would interefer little with the re-
mainder of his Western trip.
Will Protect Voice
To save his voice, however, the
governor planned to avoid outdoor
addresses for few days. His intiner-
ary called for stops this evening at
Hood Rive and Dalles for brief
meetings. His principal engagements
tomorrow were afternoon and eve
ming meetings at Boise, Idaho, en-
route to Ogden and Salt Lake City.
The league of nations was the
main subject discussed by the Cover
nor in his Portland and Salem ad-,
dresses. Besides his noon public
meeting, he spoke to large audience
Of women and school teachers here
this afternoon and to all emphasized,
the league as a means to make war
impossible" and "to keep faith with
the boys who lie in France"
Independence, non partisanship,
progressivism, also were stressed to
by the candidate. He also touched on
Western topics, reclamation, Alaskan
develonmpnt and delivered further
attacks on the "attempt to buy the
presidency" big business and the
senatorial oligarchy."
Referring to the Republican front
porch campaign, Governor Cox said:
Headquarters are to be moved
from Marion to the field. The front
porch campaign, it is announced, will
end. l am too modest to tell you
