COLLEGE GRADS
 BEING ACCUSED
Alumni Said to Encourage
 Drinking and Grating

New York, Jan. 3l.-Charges g of encouragement by college alumni of graft in athletics and of drinking of liquor have created furore among graduates of Western Conference universities living in New York.
 Vigorous informal discussion arose after the charges were made last night by Charles Russ Richards, president of Lehfgh university and graduate of Purdue. At the annual dinner of. the New York association of Western Conference universities, he said:
 "Very largely through alumni in- f1uence intercollegiate athletes have been so prostituted as to render them positively undesirable in their ef- fects upon tho general character and the code of ethics of college stu dents.
 When in order to secure winning teams our athletes are subsidized by one device or another. and the spirit of graft and hypocrisy is thus open ly and flagrantly encouraged, the college boy is led to believe that anything is right if you can get by with it. Men thus educated will be more dangerous to society than the uneducated grafter or crook. Again the alumni constitute one of the most serious menaces to the development and maintenance Of proper moral standards among students.
 Many college students today seem inclined to go to greater ex- | cesses in the use of intoxicating li- quors than in the past. College of ficers are doing everything in their power to create proper restraint | against these evils, but their task is rendered vastly more difficulty when alumni of fraternity carry liquor into the fraternity house and when it seems necessary that every alumni dinner or reunion be sufficiently wet to supply the stimulus for what Is regarded as hilarious time

Tiny Handbags Now
 Fashionable in Paris

Paris Jan. 31.-The velvet Pochette" is the latest fashion in bags which the Paris creative genius always on the alert is ima- ginirg charming new frivolities to tempt the fashionable woman's fancy. has invented.
 They are mostly made in old-rose velvet, frightened by a formal de- sign of steel paillettes and are to be had in all the colors of the rainbow. Small in size-about half the usual size of womcn's hand bags-they arc just now enjoying a tremendous vogue in Paris.
 A lowered bag in nigger-brown silk, ornamented with a bouquet embroidered in gold thread cut out on a yellow silk background, small enough to be put in the pockets of the yearer's great-coats, was very much in evidence at the Auteuil racetrack recently when the ther- mometer was lowering around zero and fingers became numb with cold. The little bags only came out Of the pockets to draw out the banknotes necessary to feed the ever hungry pari- -mutuel booths.

CHAPLIN MAKING
 TERMS FOR WIFE
Financial Settlement Under Way
 But Is CloakM in Mystery

Los Angeles, Jan. S1.--Attorneys are negotiating a financial settlement between Charles Spencer Chaplin, motion picture comedian, and the 16 year old bride he married in Mexico last November, says the Los Angeles Times today.
 The fact that Mrs. Chaplin, for merly Lita Grey. leading woman for the comedian, had joined members of her family in consulting attor- neys became known, according to the Times, upon the arrival here a week ago of Edwin McMurray, San Fran cisco attorney and uncle of the bride.
 McMurray today is quoted by tho Times as admitting that financial negotiations "are in progress" though declaring that "there is no connec- ton between these negotiations and any contemplated action for separa- tion or divorce"
 George Beebe, who looked after 1 the legal interests of Mrs. Chaplins grandparents for many years, IS the other attorney who has represented the bride and her family in tho ne- lgotiations to date, says the Times, adding that several conferences all ready have been held with Chap lin's attorneys.
 Chaplin himself has avoided inter- views ever since his return from Empalme, Mexico, with his bride, and efforts to communicate with him relative to the reported financial set dement's negotiations have met with no success.
 Requests for a personal interview with Mrs. Chaplin on the subject were met. according to tho Times, with the statement from McMurray that she could only repeat what he had given out.
 What part, if any. the anticipated arrival of an heir to the Chaplin fortune has played or win play in the negotiations was not disclosed nor was any hint divulged of the possible terms of the settlement.

5000 Stills Taken
In Chicago Raids
BY Federal agents
Captures Yesterday Gil

Costing 10000.

CHICAGO, January 9.-More than
5000 stills were confiscated by Fed
eral agents yesterday in a series of
raids covering the Maxwell Street
Market. Twenty-Five hundred hydrom-
eters also were taken and four per-
sons were arrested. The stills and
other devices were on open sale in
six shops bordering the market.
The raids climaxed a 60day in
vestigation by the Government in
which nearly $4,000 was spent in pro-
curing evidence. Articles used in the
making of Illicit liquor were pur-
chased by the Federal men upon
which to base their warrants for the
raids. One still, the largest ever
found in this district, cost them $1,000,
while the prices of others ranged
from $25 to $500.
Twenty prohibition agents swooped
down upon the six shops almost
simultaneously to prevent the possi-
bilIty OF a general tip-off. The market
was thrown into confusion as news
of the raids spread, and in one or
two of the places visited the occu
pants threatened to give battle to
the officers.
