CHAPLIN PENN|LESS;
SAYS HIS ATTORNEY
Hopes to Settle Tax Dispute
and Go Ahead With Pic
ture He Is Making.

By the Associated Pres.
NEW YORK. January 22.-De-
scrihed as penniless. weak. wobhly and
without money enough of his own to
hire a taxi. Charlie Chaplin today was
hoping that his difficulties with the
Government over his income tax re-
turns would be sestled within few
days.
His attorneys were arranging to
post a bond to meet the Government 5
claim for S1.135.000 in back income
taxes and so release from liens more
than sSOO.O of Chaplin's New York
assets. It was said unofiicially at the
internal revenue collectors office that
so far as this district is concerned the
matter would be adjusted by Monday
Il don't know what it all means.
Chaplin remarked on his return from
q short automobile ride in Central
Park. his first venture outdoors since
his nervous breakdown here week
ago.

I've Just got up out of bed. and m
still pretty weak and wobbly. It's all
very confusing I'm just trying to
complete a picture and make some
money
Chaplin. said Nathan Burkan. his
attorney, would be absolutely PENN
less and unable to hire a taxi If 1t
were not for his friends. This same
temporary poverty, he said has caused
considerable loss to his two picture
companies. the activities of which
have been curtailed by lack of operat-
ing funds.
Chaplin has no desire or design to
treat the Government unfairly" said
Mr. Burkan. He has always paid his
taxes and the companies have always
paid theirs. but the Government thinks
back taxes are due and we are per-
fectly willing to insure it against loss
by posting securities"
Got $500, 900 for Studio.
Burkan explained that Chaplin's
withdrawal of $500.0 from an &C.
count here Thursday was not to fore
stall the Governments liens, but to
meet studio expenses here.
Although details of a conference be-
tween Chaplin's attorneys and custom
house officials were not made public.
1t was said that Chaplin's purpose in
preparing for a settlement of the Gov.
ernments claims was not in order
that he might leave the United States,
hut in order to resume his business.
A section of the revenue law provides
that no alien shall leave the country
unless he has compiled with all obliga-
tons imposed hv the income tax law.
Chaplin is a British subject.
Burkan explained that Chanlin's re-
cent transfer to New York of money
in banks in California. where the ac-
tors estranged wife has tied up his
assets. was TO paw for the completion
of ChaDlin's new nicture. Burkan said
he did not think Chaplin would do
any work here personally, as he
planned to do. but would return to
California to defend his wife's suit.

in grouping around his personality any

this particular style fitted his form,
and that was that.

added to the front by introduction
of a fly with a soft rolling double
breasted lapel.
The Princes coat is dark blue.
