tEVIATHAN BADLY BATTERED AT SEA
Fifteen Passengers Injured as
 Result Of Big Storm
CAPTAIN HAD HARD TIME
Commander Hartley Kept Bridge Throughout Whole Trip Except One Night-Worst Passage of His Career-Eall Players Nervous.

New York, Dec. 2,-Fifteen per- sons were injured in storm which buffeted the steamship Leviathan throughout most of her passage across the Atlantic. it was learned today when the Leyiathan arrived from Southampton A hours oyer due.
 The Leviathan, largest vessel in the U. $. merchant marine, suffered severely under the storms lashings, reached port with many of her port holes smashed and with considerable damage to her lower decks. Captain Hartley reported that he had kept the bridge throughout the trip ex- cept for one night. It was the worst passage of his career. he said.
 The Casualty List,
 R. II. Putnam, q Chicago retired business man, on his way to Palm Beach with Mrs. Putnam, received serious head wounds on Thanksgiv- ing day when wave smashed the pOrthole of his E. deck cabin, and flooded the room. Mrs. Putnam suf- fered shock and both were treated by the ships doctors.
 A. B. Moran, the Leviathan's banker, broke his shoulder in at tempting to avoid the crashing port hole of his cabin on F deck the same day. Jack Lawson of Brook lyn had his arm broken under sim liar circumstances, also on Thanks giving day, when the big ship was fighting storms off the Grand Banks.
 Three stewards later were hurled down a Companionway, two of them receiving broken arms and the third being badly bruised. Ten passengers in first and second class cabins suf- fered minor injuries, the result of the rolling of the giant vessel under the blows of winds and seas.
 Ball Players on Board.
 Aboard the Leviathan returned the members of the New York Giants Chicago White Sox teams which played a series of exhibition baseball games in Great Britain and on the continent. Most of the play CTS and membsgs of their families were reported to have taken the storm as a matter of course. This did not apply to Red" Faber, Sox pitcher, however, for he didn't leave his cabin once during the passage. "stuffy" Mcrnnis, Giant infielder, and Mrs. McInnis lost some clothing when the waves crashed in two of their cabin portholes. Irish" Muesel, Giant outflelder. spent all of his waking hours in the salons or on the decks. complaining that the creaking of his stateroom made him nervous.
 John J. McGraw of the Giants said he didn't deplore the financial failure of the series, as the trip proved an excellent missionary ex- pedition". The finer points of the game were beyond the English and French. he said, but he was un- daunted and intended to return next year,

ltiNlINthf bul bIt IldDDI.
 Los Angeles, Dec. Mrs. Charles Chaplin, who until a few days ago was Lita Grey, the film comedian's leading woman, still is subject to California's compulsory schooling law being 16 years of age. the Los Angeles Times said today.
 Copy of Birth Record
 The Times based it's statement on what was purported 10 be a photo- graphic copy of a birth certificate filed with the bNeau of vital statis- tics by pr. E. o. Palmer on April 27, 1908.
 That certificate revealed that Lil- Han Louisa McMurry, daughter of Robert McMurry, expert accountant. and Lillian Curry McMurry, was born in the Hollywood district April 15, 1908,
 Chaplin discovered" Lita Gray, as Lillian McMurry came to be known in filmdom, when she was 13 years old, the Times related, and signed her as his leading woman when she was 16, marrying her when she was still 15 and he 35 years of age, the article said.
 Miss Grey's age appeared as g on the records of the Mexican town of Empalme, where she was married last week and was so stated several weeks before the marriage by Mrs. Lillian McMurry Spicer, her mother.
 Atthe Selma Avenue public school here, however, and at the Comnock school for girls, both of which knew Miss Grey as a pupil. her birth date was recorded as given in the birth certificate.
 May Have Tutor
 School authorities pointed out that the compulsory attendance law re- quiring schooling for all children Up to the age of 18 did not necessarily mean that Mrs, Chaplin would have to continue her education in a pub lie or private school. The law pro- , vlded, they explained, for the em- ployment of tutors whenever the legal guardian of a minor preferred such instruction to that provided in i the schools. -.-....t i Sought out by newspapnrmen Mrs Gpicer admitted her daughters age had been incorrectly stated on the Mexican marriage license, but said it was done thus for business req sons"

ROBINSON
EXPELLED
BTCLlIB
Other Members May Resign
il Protest to Dropping
Senator for Row

Several members Of the Chevy
Chase Club today are considering
submitting their designations out
| Of protest TO the expulsion Of
Senator Joseph T. Robinson Of
Arkansas last night, following 4
prolonged session Of tie board Of
governors.
Il is understood that the mem
bers in question, which include
Senator Andrieus A. Jones Of New
Mexico, the only other member Of
the Senatorial foursoine who is .
member Of the club, will not make
definite decision until after Sem
ator Robinson has returned to
Washington and they have con-
|ferred with him.
Came As Surprise.
The drastic action taken last
night came as distinct surprise,
even to members OF the club, al
though Alexander Britton, presi.
dent, all along has made no secret
OF his displeaSure over the unfavor-
able publicity the episode has given
the club.
For time it'appeared that Mary.
land authorities would handle Sen.
ator Robinson on an assault charge
following the legislators attack
upon Doctor James r. Mitchell,
famed surgeon, at the twelfth hole
of the clubs golf links, but Il Is
understood that they withdrew
when they were advised that the
club officials would handle the sit
uation.
Doctor Mitchell Silent.
Despite the fact that, according
to witnesses, Senator Robinson hit
Doctor Mitchell in the eye and
knocked him down, the latter has
refrained from making comment on
the incident ever since 1t occurred.
Senator Robinson was playing In
"a foursome on the day Of thesfight,
June 10, his companions being Sen.
ators Thomas ]. Walsh Of Montana,
Andrieus Jones OF New Mexico, and
John B. Kendrick Of Wyoming.
The action of the board Of gov.
errors Of the club last night is said
to have been unanimous. Senator
Robinson was already under sus-
pension from the club and the final
decision had been postponed on two
occasions upon his request and due
TO the prolonged sessions OF the
Democratic National Convention.
1t is understood that fha daciaior
fof the board OF governors was
reached because Senator Robinson,
in a lengthy written statement sub.
mitted to them, made no effort 10
apologize or excuse his act, but at
tempted to justify It. He did not
appear In person and neither dld
any one OF the other three Senators.
Il Is said that all OF them EXCEPT
Senator Jones are out, Of the city
at the present time.
