Lita, Broke, Would
Use Chaplin House

BD United Press
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 14.-Declar-
ing she is broke" attorneys for
Lita Grey Chaplin, estranged wife
Of Charlie Chaplin, said they would
ask court permission today for her
to live in Chaplin's home pending
outcome of her divorce suit.
Mrs. Chaplin, her attorneys de-
clared, is unable to pay the rent on
her $4,000 a year home. She took
it six weeks ago when the court
awarded her $4,000 monthly tempo
rary alimony.
1.-THE blocking of every effort made
by Mrs. Chaplin to collect the money
awarded her makes it necessary for
her to give up the rented house."
Edwin McMurray. one of her law
yers, said.
There is no reason why she and
her children should not occupy Chap
Inns home. We will ask the court
to grant them permission to live
there"

Although no decision has been

Company lines will remain in effect.
A public hearing was held before
Commissioner Clyde Jones today
and the only parties to appear were

that neither the city administration

therefore he would not appear to

The franchise for the transfers ran
out Jan. 1, 1927. but an extension
was granted so that the hearing
might be held.
Revenues of the company indicate
that the past year was worse finan-

Six Conflicting Bills in House
Topic at Public Hearing
Tuesday.

ITO be or not to be-" that is the
question the Elections Committee OF
the Indiana House of Representa-
tives has before it in regard to Indi-
ana's primary law.
Six conflicting bills affecting the
primary and its corollary. the regis
tration of voters, are in the commit
tees hands. A seventh, repeating
the registration law, will appear soon
in the House on second reading.
An elections committee will be held
Tuesday afternoon and discussion on
the Bendei-Hughes bill, proposing
drastic safeguards for primary cleo
tions, will be public. A decision on
the other pending bills will be
reached.
To Defend Law
Mrs. Allen T. Fleming, president
Of the Legislature Forum, announced
a number Of women Of that organi-
zation will be present to fight any
changes weakening the primary law.

be held up pending the Houses ac-
tion on the. repeal bill.
Divided Report
A divided report is expected on the
Wedeking- -Pittenger bill since both
it's authors are members OF the COM
mittee while other members are
known to oppose the measure. The
bill removes the nomination OF
United States Senator, Governor and
all State officers from the primary
and places IL in the hands OF political
conventions.
Mrs. Ella ". Gardner Rep.), In.
dianapolis representative, is the
author of the $3.50 bill pending in
the committee. It seeks to assure
women equal representation with
men in party politics.
Automatic registration of voters,
who cast their ballot in primary cleo
tions is advocated in the. Smith
Bender bill. 1t is regarded as a COM
promise measure with fair success of
passage in the House.
The sixth bill advocates changing
the time of the primary election from
May until September. and making
a vote cast at the primary election
a substitute for registration.

ALLEGED GH0UL
FACING QUIZ AT
INDIANA PRISON
Michigan Officers Will Ques-
ton Man Suspected as
Skull Hoarder.

DI IMICHfGAN, nttsifY CITY, Ind, Feb. IA.
Chief of Police George w. Smith of
Ferndale, Mich, suburb, and
Prosecutor Clyde D. Underwood of
Oakland County, Mich, were here
today to question James, Coyner,
suspected Negro ghoul, in connec-
ton with the finding in Detroit last
week Of four women's skulls and
two strands of od-clotted hair in a
cottage once occupied by the Negro.
The trip was made on the strength
of two letters found secreted in the
rafters Of the building and supposed
to have been written by Coyner to
his sister, Emma Robinson, in Chi
cago.
"Get my trunk. They might find
something else and if they do I'm
through forever" one of the letters
read.
The other mentioned something
terrible will happen if you don't send
me hacksaw."
The Negro is serving sentence
for digging up a skull from a Ham
mond, Ind, grave, and it is be-
lieved he likewise dug up the skulls
here, but because of the hair and
blood an investigation is being made.
Questioned by Warden Daily of the
prison, Coyner denied knowledge Of
the skulls Or how they came to be
in his former home. He admitted
ownership Of the trunk and that he
sent a woman to Rayol Oak after it.
He claimed, however, that he sent
her only for his clothes and knew
nothing of the skulls the trunk was
! later found to contain.
Authorities are expected to learn
why Coyner carried a list of promi-
nent Detroit and Pittsburgh society
| women. q
Chicago police believe the skulls
to be those of Chicago women. Mich
igan authorities have asked them to
excavate around shack near Ian
sing, ILL.,, where Coyner lived last
| summer,
