Charlie Chaplin Richest
 Resident of Film Colony

LOS ANGELES, Cal, July 13.- The county assessor has answered one of Hollywood's great specula- tions, namely: Who is filmdom'S richest celebrity?

 Second to Chaplin on the tax rolls is Mary Pickford. with stocks worth S2,216,940 and interests in foreign trusts amounting to Sl76,- 190, in addition to real estate val ued at $l92 ,280.
 There were also variety of other intriguing secrets about Hol- lywoods finances which came out of the assessors office, such as:
 That Greta Garbo owns taxable

 How much wealth Chaplin, Fairbanks, Miss Pickford and the others have in nontaxable securi- ties was a matter of conjecture by officials.

COURT SUGGESTS
ATTORNEYS MAY
SETTLE ACTION

Christ Poulos was again faced
with Jail today unless his attorney,
Ray D. Johnson, and Hugh l..
Mackinnon as attorney for Mrs. Fl.
M. Bump can reach some agree
ment whereby he may be given
part of the money represented by
a cashiers check for 5000, which
was instrumental In first sending
him to jail.
Arguments in superior court this
morning on motion to free PouloS
from Jail because Mrs. Bump had
not provided for payment to the
sheriff of money for his support
there, ended when the matter was
submitted, but with the under
standing that the court could not
order Poulos freed unless attorneys
reached some agreement as to di-
vision of the money, and stipulated
to his release.
Poulos was committed when he
refused to turn over 5000 to the
sheriff, to be given to Mrs. Bump
in satisfaction of a judgment for
rental on farming property. He
then had in his possession a
cashiers check for 5000, his share
in the estate of a brother who died
recently.
The court pointed out this morn
ing that it is without jurisdiction
to free Poulos, especially since ar
rangements have been made for
the plaintiff, Mrs. Bump, to pay
for his support in Jail, as provided
by law.
1t was suggested, however, that
the attorneys reach some agree
ment whereby Poulos may be al
lowed to keep some part of the
money to buy food and arrange for
medical attention for his wife, who
is expecting a child.

If Max Thurston hummed that

For Thurston was wanted here
on a charge of check kiting, or
raising the amount of a $3.50

Rodney Clarke had traced him to

him, and he was allowed to go

Thurston, however, nursed a yen
to see California again, and hopped
train for Los Angeles. The city
of the angels is in California and
only a comparatively short dis

was arrested there.
Today he is at the Imperial
