number, Romance" in Paul Causeys
solo group. This number indicates eX

young composer, who has also COM
posed number of piano and vocal
numbers both secular and sacred.
The Co number, prelude in G minor
in the group rendered by Causey, was
very difficult and of very different
style from the ,(a) number, but was
well interpreted. Miss Bickerstaff was
the most pronounced success as mu-
scian of the evenings appearances.

The finale of the program was Marche

Governor-Elect For
Wyoming Predicts a
River Pact Farley

CHEY ENNE, Wyo., Dec. IL Co.
Complete ratification of the Colorado
river compact at an early date seems
likely and the calling by Governor
George w. p Hunt of Arizona of a
meeting between his state, California
and Nevada on the problem, is an
important move toward its solution,
Goyernor-elect Frank G. Emerson
said today.
"At the recent western division
meeting of the United States cham
Der of commerce in Colorado Springs
the outstanding feature OF the dis
cussion was that not one criticism
of the seven states pact was voiced
by the representatives of any state,
and the word of Governor Hunt has
been given tfat If his state can
reach an agreement with California
as to the division and use of water
from the lower Colorado river, Art
zona will oe ready to ratify the or
| iginal compact Only a short time
ago Arizona had voiced strong
protest to the seven states agree
| ment.
"The Johnson Swing bill now be-
/ fore congress would provide for six
| states ratification and building q
dam in Boulder canyon with the
4 provision that Arizona might enter
| the agreement later. Wyoming is
assured protection only by the sever
| states pact. The other would leave
/ several questions unanswered. We

result that only one and half of the

Amendments before the committee

YUMA
ROAD CLOSED

Rumors that the highway between
Phoenix and Yuma, leading into Cali
fornia from Arizona was not passable
was established as fact Saturday when
officials of the Douglas Chamber of
Commerce and Mines wired the Arf-
IONA Automobile club for exact infor-
nation. The message returned stated
that the road was impossible and had
been closed, and warned the local Off
Gals to advise no one to start through
The message stated that conditions
were changing hourly and from the
tone of the message this was taken
to mean that the rains that have block
ed the roads are still continuing.
At the offices of the Pickwick stage
company late Saturday the agents
stated that the stages We're running
on schedule but that he had no reports
west of Phoenix nor east of Ell Paso.
The roads over this area, however, are
in excellent condition, according to
this informant.

MRS. C. CHAPLIN
WILL FILE SUIT
FOR A DIVORCE

LOS ANGELES, Dec. II P.-Lita
Grey Chaplin, estranged young wife OF
Charles Chaplin, comedian, will file
suit for divorce and custody of their
two babies Immediately it was an
nounced tonight in a statement issued
in her behalf by her attorney. Mrs
Chaplin said this action is the result
of failure to negotiate a private settle
ment out of court.
Negotiations pending have failed to
result in any reasonable or adequate
proposal on Mr., Chaplins part for sup
port, maintenance and education" the
statement read
"He has refused to relieve their pres
ent inconvenience and necessity. He
has even made it condition of settle
ment that she give UP her youngest
baby. This she will positively not con-
sent to under any circumstances.
IF negotiations had resulted in a
fair or adequate proposal on his part,
Mrs. Chaplin still would never consent
to part with her babies. 1t remains to
be seen whether or not his apparent
concern about the custody of one of
the babies is merely for effect
The announcement Of Mrs Chaplin's
decision to place her children in the
courts was preceded by lengthy con-
ference between George .Beebe, her at
torney, Edwin H. McMurray, her uncle,
San Francisco Attorney, her mother,
Mrs. Lillian Spencer. and herself.
Neither Mrs. Chaplin or any other in
the conference would amplify the writ
ten statement. They had nothing to
say. Chaplin, who has been absent
from his home for three days and
nights and his attorney, Lloyd Wright,
were declared out of the city tonight.
Earlier in the day, however, Wright
had announced definite break in the
negotiations.
I'VE made them fair Offer" he
said, "and it was refused. The next
move is up to Them
The statement by Mrs Chaplin and
her attorney was the answer.
The offer mentioned by Wright, it
was intimated, was for settlement of
100000 on condition that Mrs. Chaplin
give up one of the children to the
comedian.
Mrs. Chaplin, with her children,
moved nearly two weeks ago from the
Chaplin mansion in Beverly Hills to
the home of her grand parents.

lions these new cars are on display in

The display shows the new Ford to
be an up-to- the-minute little car with

use at once in event of the river
rising. If the river remains low
enough to permit its being forded,
the bridge will be opened Wednes-

The delay in opening the bridge
is due to the fact that it must be

Police Little page, Sheriff w. G. Mil
Ter, and Ranger Frank Hamer, to
produce the girl in court at II o'clock

Mrs. Bradley charged that her
daughter was being illegally re-
strained.
While this legal skirmishing was
in progress, Tom Nelson, president
of the Farmers state bank, at Round
Rock, near here, revealed that a
young woman answering the de-
scription of the Buda bank robber.
had hung around" his bank for sew
eral days this week. She repre-
scented herself to be a Waco, Texas,
newspaper woman.
Nelson said that yesterday after
noon she came unto the bank and
v
he and the bank employees paid little
attention to her. A vacant house
did burn in Round Rock yesterday
afternoon.
This morning she again came to
the bank and was questioned about
the fire but denied all knowledge of
it. While in the bank the young
woman asked customers about crop
conditions and several times ques"
toned bank employees on what they
did in case of fire and whether they
dashed out of the bank"
When the girl was taken to the po-
lice station she laughed and joked,
policemen said, as her name was en-
tered on the docket. No charges We're
filed against her.
In Texas, robbery with firearms car
ries death as the maximum penalty,
but it has never been assessed except
when the defendant had shot some one
in executing the robbery.
