 Due to the fact that my father hasn't contributed five cents to my support since I was two and q half years old and now, through the newspapers, insults me with his re- ported offer to help me and my mother who has always advised me against extravaganza, I will not ac- cept his help nor do I need his sym- pathy.
 As far as lly mother is concern ed I can prove that she is not in any way to blame for my troubles with Mr. Chaplin. And when the time arrives, the world will know why my mother lived with me at differ ent times during my married life"

SKELETONS RATTLE OBVIOUSLY Charlie Chaplin and, Wife Open
 Luxurious Closets FIGHT TO X FINISH NOW
Wife Says Comedian Called Her Family "Yellow'-Chaplin Insists Ills Young Wife Has Been Neg lecting Home and Babies.

Los Angeles, Dec. 1 R-Overtures for truce between Charles Chaplin and his estranged wife having failed. they settled down today for a finish fight in court after an exchange Of statements which brought some of the family skeletons out of the lux urious closets of the film comedians Beverly Hills mansion.
 Charlie's Accusations
 Chaplin issued statement in which he denied Mrs. Chaplin's charges of cruelty. He declared he had opened his circle of friends to her with the intention of making her happy but that she preferred acauaintances of her own and en- tertainments staged without the presence of MT. Chaplin. He also charged she had abused the privilege of unlimited credit he had granted her in the shops and cafes of Los Angeles.
 Shortly after this statement was issued Mrs. Chaplin countered with one in which she accused the film comedian of avoiding her because she was mot influential" and of calliag her family yellow. She also maintained she had made many of her own clothes after marriage.
 Talks in Millions
 The latest break followed con- ference between attorneys for both MT. and Mrs. Chaplin at which an effort was made to learn what kind of a property settlement would be necessary to keep the case out of court. No announcement was made. but the new outbreak was taken to mean that no agreement was reached. George Beebe, represent ing Mrs Chaplin, has been talking about sums in excess of $1,00O,Q00.
 Mrs. Chaplin left the Beverly Hills home of the motion picture star Tuesday and announced she would never return. This followed an early morning party at the home which ended when Chaplin ordered his wife to turn the guests out of the house.
 Yesterday Mrs. Chaplin indicated sine would not ask an absolute di- vorce but would seek separate maintenance.

JURY ACQU|TS ALL THREE ACCUSED IN HALL MILLS MURDER TRIAL AND
 THEY ARE RELEASED FROM CUSTODY
CHICAGO SPECULATORS
 WIN OVER 10 MILLION
Beat Wall St. at Its Own Game, Playing Baldwin
 Locomotive Stock

New York, Dec. 4 LP-A half dozen Chicago spectators, headed by Arthur w. Cutten. have taken more than $10,000,000 in actual and paper profits out of Wall street in the past 30 days through operations in Baldwin Locomotive stock. the New York Times says today. The midwest spectators, says the times. have completely taken the play" out of the hands of New York men who usually trade in Baldwin, and have mystiiied Wall street as to their identity and backing. The end of the transaction has not been reached, in the papers belief, as Baldwin sold at 65 3-4 yesterday. a new high price for the year, and difficult to meet commitments. Movement in the stock began Nov. l, when 1t rose sharply 1-2 points to 117.
 A quiet spell, unfavorable to spec ulation, in Mr. Cutten's usual line, wheat, and the possibility of profit ing through reviying a colorless area in the stock market by bold specu- lative stroke, impelled the Chica- goans to their coup, says the Times, which adds that some of the opera tors who sold Baldwin to the pool cannot now ride on train pulled by a Baldwin locomotice without a twinge of pain.
 With unlimited resources and un- der a pledge of secrecy the mid- westerners more than a month ago, began quietly accommodating Baldwin in blocks of 100 to 1000 through several brokers and under various names.
 Bear spectators sold short and fought the climb as it continued. One operator is said to have been short 5000 shares at l25. and to be seeking the captain" of the pool in order to offer settlement. Others are said to have suffered tremen- dous losses
 Only, 200, ,000 shares of Baldwin stock, represting s20,a0o,00O exist. and large part of these are held by officers, directors, and others who kept it off the market. Mr. Cutten is credited with having made several millions in wheat last gear.

TH|RTY-SIX NEW YORK AND MASS. PEOPLE INDICTED IN
 LOTTERY TICKET DEALINGS
MOBILE THREATENS TO
 EXPOSE AMUNDSEN Italian Polar Flier De- clares Norwegian Did i.
 Nothing at All

New York, Dec. 4.-lPl-General Umberto Mobile threatens to tell what he has not told before" about the flight of the dirigible Norge over the North Pole. in consequence of a reopening of quarrel with Roald Amundsen and Lincoln Ellsworth over the leadership of the flight.
 Amundsen last night cabled to the Aero club of Norway offering his own and Ellsworth's resignations on the ground that Mobile is in this country making gross mls-state- ments thereby ridiculing the name of Norway in a lecture tour with the consent of the club. Ellsworth says. however, that he knew noth- ing of the cablegram.
 . In a speech November Is at a theater here, Mobile was quoted as saying that the idea of a flight over the North Pole in an Italian dirigible originated with the Italians, and that Premier Mussolini ordered last summers successful flight over the pole.
 Mobile, who Is at the Ritz Carle- ton hotel. displayed a copy of his speech in support of his claim that it was perfectly fair. The text shows that he asserted Amundsen arrived at the same idea as the Italians independently but later, and that he stressed the contributions of Amundsen and Ellsworth to the ex- petitions success.
 Tt Is possible" he said when in- formed of the resignations. that shall tell what I have not previously told. Roald Amundsen had no part in the preparations for the flight. And he did nothing on the flight It. self. After he and I signed our con- tract he came over to America and delivered lectures. He was gone for six months. during which time l was in Rome. getting ready for the flight"
 Mir. Ellsworth says that, although he knew nothing of the cablegram, he would back up Amudsen. He says he sent a telegram of greeting to Mobile when the Italian arrived for his lecture tour.
 Mobile is to speak tonight in Wat erbury, Conn, and in the west later
 The quarrel between the aerial polar explorers broke out shortly after the Norge landed in Alaska. after Mobile made statements which Amundsen claimed took the credit of leadership from the real com manders.

WILBUR'S 'ORDER' TO ROBINSON ADMITTED Retired Officer Forbidden to Reveal Confidential
 Information

Washington. Dec 4 P-Secretary Wilbur's "order" to Admiral Robin son, directing the retired naval of- flcer not to disclose confidential in formation to the jury in the Fall Doheny oil conspiracy trial. was admitted as evidence in the trial today over the objections of the government.
 Justice Hoehling permitted the paper to go in after bearing argu- ments by opposing Counsel. He held that it was pertinent to the case of the defense in it's effort to absolve former Interior Secretary Albert B. Fall and Edward L. Do- heny of the oil leasing conspiracy charge against them.
 Robinson, & defense witness, identified the order as one which had been delivered to him by a naval officer the day before he took the witness stand. It said:
 Tt appearing that you have been subpoenaed to court, you are hereby ordered not to disclose any confidential information which may have come into your possession as an officer of the navy.
 Curtis D. Wilbur, secretary"
 Robinson was the representative of the navy department in the leasing negotiations which led to award Of the Elk Hills contract to Doheny while Fall was the 'head of the interior department, and the defense counsel contended that Secretary Wilbur's order would tend to prevent the admiral from making disclosures as to the extent to which the navy itself was re- sponsible for the award. Justice Hoehling ruled that the trial court alone was vested with authority to determine what may go before jury.
 He cited opinions of John Mar shall in the celebrated 1903 case of Marbury vs. Madison as authority for saying that a refusal to testify on the ground that confidential state secrets might be disclosed, was not valid.
 The secretary's order was read to tho jury by Frank J. Hogan, chief of defense counsel.
 NNbop r1c1,roa1 his fSSti i- mony, a moment later. however, he flatly declined to answer Hogan's questions about confidential aspects of the negotiations with Doheny.
 The questions related to conNer- sation Robison had with Doheny re- garding the project for oil storage at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, later un- dertaken by the Doheny interests.
 T recited to him secret informa- tion that I cannot reveal" said Robison.
 Hogan asked the court to direct the witness to answer, and Justice Hoerling ruled that no particular foreign power should be mentioned by name but that otherwise the questions of counsel must be an- swered.
 Tt was & conversation with the defendant in this trial pertinent to the issues here invoNed,' Justice Hoehling said.
 Robison sat silent for while. then began to reply, choosing his words carefully.
 T told MT. Doheny of the military plans centered on Pearl Harbor and of possible naval operations of other power plants. 1 informed him of

Grand Jury Meets Again Tuesday When Second
 Investigation Will Begin as Result of Recent Dis
 closures. ..

Boston, Dec. 1 P>-Thirty-six de- fendants resident in Massachusetts and New York were under secret in- dictment today on charge of con- spiracy to ship lottery tickets be- tween states. as result of an in- vestigation by the federal grand jury of the so-called Albany aud Hudson pools.
 Political Donations
 In returning the secret indict- ments last night, the grand jury ended a two day investigation. dur ing which federal authorities claim cd to havo found evidence that the pools contributed s15,000 to the re- publican campaign fund in the re- cent New York state election.
 Federal investigators also said that another rival pool with head quarters in Albany, N. r.. was be- lieved to have contributed to the democratic election fund during the New York state campaign, and ex- pressed hope that information re- garding the activities of the organi- zation would be obtained from per sons now under indictment. 18 Names Published
 The names of 16 of the 32 de- fendants were made public today by Assistant U. s. District Attorney Hubert c. Thompson after counsel +n thaiy ya iY, court on Monday.
 The 16 included, August Meyers, Albany publisher Of sporting paper and said to have been 6 leader in the pool; William Buch- anan. Frank Donohue and Michael Ryan. all of Albany and said to have been closely associated with Meyers; Michael Hannon of Hudson, N. Y: Louis Raymond of Pittsheld; and Herbert Sprague, Lester Sprague, George Scarbo and George Hiser of North Adams.
 Staggering Sums
 The qualifications of the pool were extensive and it handled "stagger- ing sums" in weekly lotteries on baseball and clearing house statis- tics, federal officials said. AS an illustration of ths magnitude of the pools operations, federal authorities said it had been ascertained that in four Massachusetts cities the sales of the lottery tickets totalled s75,- 900 weekly, while the total prizes awarded were said to be s7,000.
 During the grand Jury investiga- ton, the corridors of the federal building were thronged with wit nesses, who included detectives and police officers from western Masa- chusetts and northern New York. as well as many spectators in the scheme.
 Another Inquiry
 After reporting the indictment the grand jury was discharged by Judge Brewster. Federal officials indicated that the new grand jury, which convenes next Tuesday, might begin a second lottery investigation based on information obtained dur ing the inquiry just completed.
