CHAPL|N'S ARREST
ISASKED BY WIFE
Failure to Support Her and
Babies Charged-Doubt
Move Will Succeed.

By the Associated Press.
Los ANGELES, February 4.-Dis-
trict Attorney Asa Keyes today had
under advisement the demand of
Lita Grey Chaplin that her screen
star husband, Charles Chaplin, be
arrested on a charge of failure to
provide for her and her two children
as the result of the financial impasse
she encountered in her attempt to
collect temporary alimony.
The request was made yesterday
through counsel for Mrs. Chaplin.
Keyes indicated that he would con-
fer with Chaplin's attorneys before
acting on the request. Members of
the prosecutors staff said it was i'm
probable that a complaint would be
issued.
Lloyd Wright, the comedians per-
sonal attorney, contends that the
charge is without basis, since Chap
lin is sending his wife's attorneys
500 week for the children's main
tenance. Thus far Mrs. Chaplin has
refused to accept these offerings.
Meanwhile Mrs. Chaplin is pre-
vented from collecting the $4,000
monthly award for temporary ali
the actors estate. 4 writ Of pro-
hibition, obtained by his attorneys,
prevents the receivers in the divorce
action from making the payments.
Wright himself was the object of
p legal attack yesterday when Mrs.
Chaplin's attorneys obtained a court
order for him to appear next Tues
day to show cause why he could
not be cited for contempt. The
order was the result of Wrights re-
fusal to answer more than 200 ques-
fionS in a deDoSitiOn taken by Mrs
Chaplin's counsel in an attempt to
gain information concerning the
comedians finances.
Police officials said the practice of
prosecuting attorneys here never had
gone the length of asking extradition
for persons accused of failure to sup
port unless the plaintiffs paid the
cost of transportation for the ac-
cused.

The investigation has been put un-

nouncement last Saturday night by
Gen. Lord, at the business meeting
of the Government, that there was
''too much dictation and too much
typewriting,' and that something
must be done about it.
Many representatives of the Gov
eminent spending agencies who heard
the generals pointed remarks have
responded with various suggestions
as TO how the trouble might be cleared
up and savings effected, and already.
according to budget officials, shorter
letters and fewer ones have resulted.
But a scientific survey is to be
made of the various elements of the

VETERANS LISTED
AS SPECIAL GUESTS
Disabled Men in Hospitals to
Attend Washington's Birth
day Celebration.

Disabled American veterans of the
World War has been extended a spe-
cial invitation to attend the celebrar
ton which will be conducted on Wash
ington's birthday, February %, at
Polls Theater, by the District of Co
lumbia Federation for Patriotic OBJ
servance, consisting of about 80 pa
triotic organizations. The local chap
ter of the Red Cross will take care of
the transportation of the veterans
from the various hospitals.
Announcement was made last night
at an executive committee meeting Of
the federation that Sir Esme Howard,
Ambassador from Great Britain, will
make the presentation of the gold
medal awarded by one of the partici-
pating organizations of the federation
to the successful competitor in prize
essay contest, open to all pupils
of the public and private schools of
the District, on the subject, William
Pitt, Lord Chathem: His Service for

AS in past years, the exercises will
be largely attended by officials of the
Federal Government, the District gov
eminent, the diplomatic corps and
others in official Washington, as well
as prominent residents of the city.

casion, the third of the kind conduct
ed by the District of Columbia Fed

situation open to such study, includ-
ing the cost of typewriters, their re.
pair and the proper age for replace
ment with new machines. Question.
naires have gone out for this data.
How the Government may be able
to get along with fewer stenographers,
male and female, is one of the ques-
tons to be studied.
Pool System Urged.
Among the proposals already adj
vanced and being given serious study
is the possibility of installing or ex-
tending the pool system" of stenog-
raphers, under which many Govern
ment workers, who now have per-
sonal stenographers. would be de-
prived of this privilege and would be
called upon to push the button and
call one from a central room.
This proposal. it is known, meets
with stiff objection from numerous
officials.
Another possibility under serious
consideration is the feasibility of ex-
teSding use of the debating machine.
There are too many carbon copies,
according to one suggestion. There
is too much "interbureau" correspon-
dence, which could better be done by
the use of the telephone or personal
contact, according to another sugges-
tion
One proposal has advanced the no.
ton that there are entirely too many
letters of mere acknowledgements.

SHAW SUES BECAUSE
LETTERS WERE USED
Asks 100000 Damages of New
Yorker Who Printed His
Epistles.
nv the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, February 4.-The
question of whether a letter belongs
to the writer or the recipient forms
the basis of a suit for 100000 dam
ages filed here yesterday by counsel
for George Bernard Shaw. British
playwright.
Shaw, who wrote four letters in
1902, to a then youthful admirer, VIII
A. Page, now a publicity man for n
New York theatrical organization and
ar author of White Way inside
stuff" seeks not only damages from
Page, his publisher. Edward a. Miller,
and Nathan Cohen, printing press
owner, but also an injunction against
the three prohibiting further use of
the letters.
The epistles were included by Page
in a volume of stage chat recently is
sued, and used under the heading.
''Addenda, Teaching a Grandmother
to Milk Ducks--Several Letters by
Bernard Shaw, Edited. with Notes by
Will A. Page"
In his suit. the dramatist says he
prohibited their use, after at first
agreeing to read them and delete the
obviously improper for publication
passages
Under the English laws, Page has
asserted, he understands the letters
belong to the writer, but the opposite,
he believes, is the case in this country.
