REPORT CHAPLIN WILL
 SETTLE FOR MILLION
EumOr That Film Star Will Give Wife that Amount to End
 Litigation.

Los Angeles. June 17.-R-The founded report that Charles Chap lin is about ready to s".tle his mar ital differences win his wife. Lita Grey Chaplin. for cash. million dollars or near it. Actual negotia- tions toward a settlement have been resumed, the Times is informed in reports from the east that peace feelers have been put out.
 A silence was maintained on the matter by attorneys for both princi- pals In the divorce action started by the young wife of the film comedian. Lyndol Young, attorney for Mrs. Chaplin, said last night that he fav- ored a settlement keeping the case out of court and that the sum re- ported under consideration probably would be satisfactory to his client. Chaplin's attorney. Lloyd Wright, al- so favored a settlement.
 The settlement reports came on the heels of the setting of August 22 as the trial date by Presiding Judge Walton Wood. This was done at the request of Wright. who is the per- sonal attorney here of the film comedian.
 The fact that Chaplin's cross complaint as yet remains unanswer- ed by his wife was pointed out as an- other coincidence in the reported peace negotiations. Both parties have asked for the custody of their two children, but Mrs. Chaplin has repeatedly asserted she would not give them up. His cross complaint stated she previously had demanded S1,125, ,000 of him.

 ARRESTED IN WINNIPEG
Authorities Believe Earl Nelson Re. sponsible For Series of
 Killings in U. s.

Winnipeg, Man., June IT (UP)-A man charged with being the "strang- Ter murderer" who killed a woman and girl in Winnipeg about week ago and is believed by authorities to be responsible for many of the strangler murders in the United States. was in jail here today.
 He gave the name of Earl Nelson and today will be formally charged with the murders of 14 year old Lola Cowan and Mrs. Emily Patterson.
 Nelson was captured in the re- mote part of Manitoba near the lit- tie town of Killarney yesterday. AL most 1000 farmers-aided by a trainload of armed guards from Winnipeg-had searched through the underbrush for more than 12 hours after Nelson had escaped from the Killarney Jail.
 He finally was cornered and sur rendered without great opposition.
 He was accused of being the "Strangler" but denied the charges. He said his only criminal offense was breaking into house in San Francisco in 1911.
 Seventeen witnesses. local author ities said, have identified him in connection with the Winnipeg mur- ders.
 Meanwhile from almost every sec tion of the United States detectives were-hurrying here in an attempt to identify Nelson as the ''strangler" who struck terror through his op- erationsin the past three years. More than a score of murders have been committed in the United States by a "strangler."
