priations Passed by Senate
With Additions.

The first Of the annual appropria
ton bills, carrying funds for the
Treasury and Post Office Departments
Is ready to go to conference today
having passed the Senate late yestef
day. AS approved by the Senate the
measure appropriates $780,, ,O23,37S, an
increase of approximately SO, 900, ,00O
over the House bill.
Just before the bill passed Senator
King, Democrat of Utah criticized
the size Of the appropriations, char
acteriZing the administration economy
program as myth"
The $12,000,000 allotment for the
prohibition unit went through with
out comment after the defeat We'd
nesday of the proposal to use $500 900
for the employment of under cover
men on the dry force. The bill also
provides about 100000 for the
anti-rum smuggling activities Of the
Coast Guard.
The addition to the bill of $1,032,-
$50 for transportation of foreign mails
was stubbornly contested by Senator
Mcclellan, Democrat. Tennessee, but
an agreement finally was. reached
whereby it was agreed none of the
money should be used for contracts
heretofore made by the Postmaster
General. This will force the making
of new contracts with the six steam.

H|ATTPLACE MADE
ONE-WAY STREET
One Hour Parking Limit Put
on Park. ROAD Hours on
De Sales Street.

| Amendments to the traffic regula-
tions designating Hiatt place as a
| one-way thoroughfare for southbound
traffic from Lamont to Irving street
and establishing one-hour parking
limit on the north side of Park road
from Fourteenth street to Hiatt place
| and a two-hour restriction on De Sales
street from Connecticut avenue to
Seventeenth street, were adopted to-
day by the District Commissioners.
The changes were recommended by
Traffic Director NJ. o. Eldridge.
Hiatt place is now closed to all
traffic between 8 am. and pm. on
account of the school Fairgrounds on
each side of the street. Mr.. Eidridge
explained that this restriction Is
working an unnecessary hardship on
the public, as Park road is a one-way
street for westbound. traffic east of
sixteenth street, and vehicles going
east on Park road, finding that they
cannot proceed on that street, natu-
ally turn south on Sixteenth street
md east on Lamont street, only to
ind on reaching Hiatt place that they
lust turn north to Park road and
hence return to Sixteenth street. The
1ew regulation, Mr.. Eldridge said,
will minimize danger and will at the
same time be of great benefit to the
public.
In order to further safeguard the
children using the = backgrounds a
sign will be placed at Sixteenth and
Lamont streets stating that Lamont
street is not through street.
The parking restriction on Park
road was urged by the Columbia
IJoiOhfc
in order to drive out aIl-day parkers.
The two-hour parking limit on Do
Sales street will be in effect from
am. to midnight. The restriction
on Park road will be in force from
8 am. to pm.

HOPE OF CHAPLIN
TRUCE VAN|SHES
Attorney for Lita Grey Hints
Divorce Petition May Be
Filed Today.
By the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, December 1.-THE
matrimonial bark Of Charles Chaplin
was headed for the divorce court to.
day following the announcement by
his estranged wife. the former Lita
Grey, that she had instructed her at.
torney to file suit against the screen
comedian.
Attorney George Beebe, who made
the announcement for Mrs. Chaplin
yesterday, explained that all attempts
to settle the Caplins' marital diff.
culties out of court had failed. He
said he was busy preparing the peti.
ton, but would not indicate on what
grounds the divorce would be sought.
Beebe at first indicated that the
petition might be ready for filing to.
day. The complaint was not ready
last night, however, when the attor-
ney had planned to take the papers to
Mrs. Chaplin for her signature.
Speculation is rife as to what the
complaint would charge. Mrs. Chap.
lin accused her husband Of cruelty
and an exchange of charges passed
between the comedian and his wife
for several days following their sepa-
ration.
Mrs. Chaplin will insist that she be
awarded the custody of their two chill
dren, Charles Spencer, jr., and sgd
ney Earle, and will demand finan-
cial settlement in keeping with her
former station, her lawyer has indi-
Gated.
Whether Chaplin will file a cross
depends wholly on the alle-
cations set out in his wife's petition,
his attorney. Lloyd Wright, said.

The octogenarian inventor says in
an interview in The Forum that, far
