COORDINATION
OFFICER HERE
ON BUSINESS
Colonel p. ]. Hennessy Ad-
dresses Douglas Unit,
Federal Business Assn.
10 MEN ATTEND
Methods of Reducing Gov
ern m e ntal Department
Expenses Discussed.

P. ]. Hennessy, chief of
the coordination service Of
the United States govern
ment for the eighth corps
area, was in Douglas on
addressed a meeting of the
Thursday afternoon and
Douglas unit Of the Feder-
al Business association.
Hennessy will be remembered here
by many, as he served in the Douglas
district with the 9th cavalry before
the border raids in 1915 and went from
here to Culberson's, where he Joined
the 7th cavalry on their memorable
expedition into Mexico. He is enjoy
ing his return to Douglas aside from
the duties he is performing, in meet
ing old acquaintances and reviewing
old scenes.
In the service to which Colonel Hen
messy is now assigned, that of the CO.
ordination of federal services, he does
not use his rank nor title as an army
man, although he is still an officer.
The service was organized as one of
the profits of war experience and was
conceived by Horace G. Dawes, now
vice president of the United States,
who acted as coordination officer for
the various departments of the govern
ment during the war in Europe.
Following that war, Colonel Hen
messy explained in his address to the
federal employees, certain orders and
bulletins wNre issued by the chief ex-
ecutive creating the regular coordina
tion service which simply means an
organization to bring about coopera-
tion or working together of all the
different departments of the national
government to the end that they may
function as economically and efficiently
as possible.
In this work every portion of the
country was mapped out into districts
and placed in a certain area SO that
Douglas is in the. eighth corps area
of the coordination servicR, which cor
responds to the eigth corps area of
the army. In this area there are 2,700
separate and distinct federal activities
and between $4,000 and $4,000 federal
employees. To make it possible for all
the different departments and isolated
units to work together, there are be-
ing formed clubs or societies called
Federal Business associations, in which
the heads and chief assistants of every
government service in a given area
are members.
These associations meet at stated in
tervals and confer on ways and means
of saving money for their different
departments through cooperation with
other departments, and also discuss
methods fori greater efficiency. In
illustration, Hennessy tells of in
stances where one department secures
hay for horses from another depart
ment at greatly reduced cost In
some sections, where there are dozens
of government offices of different
branches, plans are being worked out

PAYMENT
CLAUSES HAVE
CAUSED DELAY
Arizona, California a n d
Nevada Will Uphold
Agreement.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16
(AP)-The way was clear
ed today for a possible tri-
state compact for distribu-
ton Of water and power
from proposed Colorado
river development w h e n
delegates from Arizona,
Nevada and California in
conference here agreed that
should congress refuse to
ratify power paym e n t
clauses, the state still would
hold to the remainder Of
such an agreement.
The conference then adjourned, with
the announced intention of attempting
to draw up such compact at tomor-
rows session, when the question of
power payment will again be the prin-
cipal issue. California has made
standing offer to pay to Arizona and
Nevada rate of 81 per annum horse
power, white an -,rizona offer based
on the. kilowatt hour was interpreted
by Los Angeles engineers to mean $6
per horsepower.

meeting next April. This action rep
resents the capitalization of some $780,
100000 of the corporation surplus and
will mean the distribution to share
holders of one of the largest dividends
ever paid by an industrial company.
The market value of the new shares,
if it could be computed at today's
closing price of around $115, would be
approximately $315, coo, 900, but the
price automatically will be reduced
when the additional stock is issued
next spring. The new stock probably
will be traded in on a when issued"
basis within the next few days.
Elbert H. Gary, veteran chairman of
the steel corporation, in the presence
of J. p. Morgan, George +. Baker and
other directors, made the announce
ment of the proposed dividend late
this afternoon after a day of hectic
trading in the stock "It is believed -
he said, that the property conditions
and earning capacity Of the corporation
justifies the proposed ac.ion at this
time"

.LITA GRAY TO
SUE c. CHAPLIN
FOR A DIVORCE
Court Airing of Marital
Troubles Loom as AttOr-
ney Prepares to File Suit.

LOS. ANGELES, Dec. 16 ga d.
force court airing for the Chaplin
marital troubles was more than
possibility tonight following an
nouncement by Lita Gray Chaplin
through her attorney, George Beepe'
that she would file suit against
Charles Spencer Chaplin, screen COM
edian, within a few days.
Beebe said he was preparing the
petition and that it might be readv
for official projection tomorrow. he
would not say on what grounds the
divorce would be asked or what sum
would be proposed as a property
settlement.
'All attempts to settle out of court
the entrangement between Chaplin
and Miss Grey have failed" Beebe
said. "The only thing left for US is
to, file a suit for divorce"
Numerous hot exchanges between
the comedian and his wife, who en-
trenched herself and two sons in the
home of her grandparents after the
separation in which charges of cruelty
and misconduct came from both sides,
furnished material for speculation as
to what the divorce complaint would
contain.
Lloyd Wright, Chaplin's attorney.
said the comedians decision on
whether to file a cross complaint
would depend wholly upon the al
legations set forth in the wife's suit.
Mrs. Chaplin reiterated her de-
termination to obtain custody of the
two children-Charles Spencer, Jr.'
and Sidney Earle, both under two
years.
Statements by Beebe at several
STAGES of the negotiations between
himself and Wright said that ms

Love OF Wife
WORTH MILLION,
SAYS HUSBAND

CHICAGO, Dec. 16 .(E)-One million
dollars was asked for mis- wife's love
by Colonel Edward C. Darlington,
wealthy publisher, politician and
manufacturer, and once a candidate
for United States senator from Mary
land in a suit field in New York
today against his brother, Campbell
Darlington, wealthy New York at
torney, according to word received
here by attorneys who will help de-
fend Campbell Darlington. In the
New York action only notice of the
suit was given Campbell Darlington
and the specific charges will not be
filed until later. Colonel Darlington,
however, admitted he charged aliena
tion of affections of his wife and
the basis of his charges already has
been given considerable publicity in
several court battles waged in Chi
'cago between Colonel Darlington
and Mrs. Anna Walsh Darlington,
New York City, his wife.
Colonel Darlington came here and
filed suit for divorce. Later he pre-
pared to withdraw the action but
did not do so when his wife filed a
cross Dill charging cruelty ana ask
ing $4,000 solicitors fees and 50, 900
a month alimony. She last week
was awarded 500 a week alimony
and $1,75O solicitors fees and expense
money.
After Mrs Carrington's charges,
Darlington retaliated by charging
that his brother had been over
friendly with Colonel Carrington's
wife and produced a letter written
by the brother to be used as evidence
to support these charges.

CAN
NOT APPEAL
Verdict Returned Early
Thursday After 19 Hours
of DeliberatiOn.
SENATOR'S SORE
Defendants Jubilant at
Their Acquittal by a Jury
of IL Young Men.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 16

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16
(AP) - The government
lost today in the first Grim
inal proceeding growing
out of the senate commit
tees investigation into oil
leasing policies of the Hard
ing administration.
A jury in the District Of Columbia
supreme court, after 19 hours de-
liberation found Albert B. Fall, for
mer secretary of the interior and
Edward L. Doheny, lessee of the
Elk Hills, Calf, naval reserve, not
guilty of conspiracy to defraud the
government in the 1922 leasing ne
gotiations.
The verdict pivoted, in the jurors
deliberations, upon Doheny's $780,
900 loan on November 80, 1921, to
Fall described in defense testimony
as a friendly transaction between
old partners.
Under the law, the government
can take no appeal.
The ten minute climax Of the
sensational four weeks trial presented
in the jury's return from it's third
floor conference room, scene of
electrifying dramatics.
The jurors filed into their box
before a tense, eager and breath
less throng at 10.08 o'clock this
morning. Seven minutes alter the
4 1,o~ chf ad
its character in the interim from
federal court at the finale of one of
the most celebrated criminal cases
in a nations history, to maelstrom
of humanity reacting as if to
touchdown.
Thirty seconds after the jurors had
nodded affirmation of the report
delivered by their foreman, Justice
Adolph A. Hoehling ended the case
with the soft-spoken and direct state
ment;
Very well, gentlemen; you are now
discharged
The acquittal produced senatorial
reverberation almost before the
jurors reached their homes. Senator
Walsh, democrat Montana, a prin-
cipal in the sensational oil commit
tees revelations three years ago,
said in a statement.
proof in criminal case must
show guilt of the defendant beyond
reasonable doubt; and in view of that
rule, 1 apprehend that the wide
spread conviction that the transac-
ton was a reprehensible one will
not be dissipated."
Senator Heflin, democrat, Alabama,
denounced the trial in unmeasuredr
terms on the senate floor
San insult to Justice" he shouted
fervidly at one point in an address
delivered two hours after the verdicts
with Fall and Doheny going free
and Frank L. Smith coming to WASH
ington, God help the nation"
