CHAPLIN TEST|F|ES
TO PROTECT SONS
Acting in Motion Pictures
Would Be Too Great a
Strain, He Tells Court.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, August 27-Charles
S. Chaplin, silent film comedian, testl-
fed today the concentration and effort
necessary to act in motion pictures
would tax too much the vitality OF his
two little sons.
He appeared in court in his legal
battle against his former wife, Lita
Gray Chaplin, to prevent her from
placing Charles Spencer Chaplin, Jr,
aged 7, and Sidney Earl Chaplin, aged
6, before the movie cameras.
An adverse Witness"
Chaplin was called as an adverse
witness by his former wife's attorney
His counsel raised successful objections
to long line of questions intended to
establish that the comedian had not
seen hts children or made any effort to
communicate with them since 1929.
Finally, however, Chaplin got word
in, testifying he was in England While
they were in France and that he at
tempted to communicate with them in
Paris, but was unable to do so.
Mrs. Chaplin has negotiated a con-
tract with a film corporation for the
two children to appear in motion pic
lures. The comedian contends the chill
dren are being amply provided for by
a property settlement.
Fears Strain of Acting.
'1n what way 90 you think that their
employment in motion pictures would
interfere with their welfare and educa-
tion?" Chaplin was asked
1T would tax their vitality, through
the concentration and effort necessary
to the work" he replied.
"Tn anv other waVo"
No"
The court room was crowded as
Chaplin came to the stand in his effort
to make the temporary injunction
against such employment permanent
one. He showed evidences of the heavy
cold which had confined him to his
estate in Beverly Hills for several days,
Fund for Two Boys.
The comedian explained the trust
fund of 100000 and the monthly pay
ments of 81 900 for the support and
education of the two boys, provided
under the property settlement with his
former wife, were sufficient for their
needs and necessities.
A temporary restraining order keep
ing the children from starting picture
work was ordered to remain in force as
the court recessed to Monday morning.
Lita Gray Chaplin. the mother. was
attractively clad in blue sports out
fit, topped by a blue felt beret. She
exchanged smiles, cordial on both sides,
with her former husband when he en-
tered the court room.

u. S. SEEKS CHANGE
IN COFFEE CONTRACT
Blockade of Brazilian Ports Brings
Plea for Relaxation of Staples
Agreement.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Restriction of coffee shipments by
Brazil's blockade of the great coffee
port of Santos has prompted State De-
partment efforts to obtain Brazilian
relaxation of contract limiting
monthly sale of coffee bartered for
Farm Board wheat
Under the contract by which the
board bartered wheat for 1,157,541 bags
of coffee, none of the latter was to be
sold before September of this year.
After that, it may be sold at the rate
of 62,500 sacks a month.
With the stocks at the worlds great
est coffee port tied up in a prolonged
rebellion, the National Coffee Roasters
Association has moved to have this
monthly limit raised to 100000. The
first approach to the Brazilian govern
ment through the embassy in Washing
ton, however, was unsuccessful. Am
bassador de Lima pointed out that
there was enough available coffee
stored or accessible to unblockaded ports
to supply this country's demand for
six or seven months. TIE outcome of
the present rebellion is expected to be
determined before that.
Nevertheless, the coffee roaSters have
carried their appeal to Brazil through
the State Department, which has in
quired into the possibility of easing
up on the limit to which the Farm
Board Is bound.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, August 27-
Eva Tanguay, II Don't Care Girl of a
past stage era, was smiling tonight in
her sick room as she received mes
sages from many friends and money
from troupers Of the old days
For five months the pinch Of pov-
erty has haunted the 54-year-old wom-
an, once the toast of Broadway. She
is critically i'll from number of COM
plications.
The reigning musical hall favorite
of several decades ago, whose II Don't
Care" song was the haunting refrain
of thousands OF admirers. has been
alone and apparently forgotten in a
little bungalow on a Hollywood side
street. If death spared her, she faced
eviction
The million or more dollars that her
successful career provided was swal-
lowed by the smash of Wall Street
stocks.
Yesterday her sister, Mrs Walter

dition. Soon messages poured in from

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
THE SANE OLD SHOW

THINGS have frightened up consider
ably in Los Angeles.
With the Richfield oil case out of the
way, the allegation of corruption on the
part of three Judges being in the dol
drums, and not real high-class murder
for months, it looked like long and
hard summer for the scandal seekers.
But trust the big city to make good.
Its politicians would never throw down
the dear public, so we have with us to-
day the start of another sensation with
$4,000 missing from the office of the
county clerk, and the chief deputy like
wise missing.
The much wanted deputy bears the
rather fancy name of Liberty A Hill.
Two indictments charge him with TAX
ing the $4,000 and assert he used at
least a portion of it to pay stock losses,
some of the IS $1,000 bills being traced
to brokers'
The money, incidentally, came into the
county clerks office as evidence when
the late Charles H. Crawford, slain by
a former deputy district attorney, trap
ped a newspaper reporter who was at
tempting to bribe him. Placed in an en-
velope in the clerks office. Mr.. Liberty
A. Hill had access to it and the evidence
seemed sufficient for the grand jury to
indict him.
Just how Mr.. Hill hoped to get away
with his little deal is difficult to under
stand He had many glaring examples be-
fore him in recent months of officials
and prominent citizens who sought easy
money and ended up in San Quentin.
Efforts to place him there will furnish
Los Angeles with another routine trial.
We may expect to have the same old
technicalities, jury tampering, shadow
ing and all the other appurtenances of
a modern trial trotted out for summer
entertainment. Perhaps there will be
some more only authentic story of my
life articles for the newspapers to
squabble over 'as they did with Mrs.
Judd.
1t is a pity that something new can
not be dug up, but this being impossible,
we will have to be satisfied with the same
old props for the effort to deprive Mr..
Hill of his first name.
-O
All Mr.. Hoover needs is a few boils
and Job will have to take g back seat.

BEDTIME STORIES
BY HOWARD E. GARRI


was-something on which to make
a joyful noise.
Uncle Wiggily sang his jolly
spring song again, he twinkled his
pink nose, for he was as happy as
bluebird and then he footed the
whistle. After a while, Uncle Wig
gily gave his whistle to Peetie.
you may have it, said the rab-
bit to the puppy dog. You may
blow it to show how joyful you are
or you may blow it, when there is
danger, to call the Police Dog"
Thanks" murmured Peetie. I'll
do that. I'll call this my danger
whistle. Thank you, Uncle Wig
gily."
The rabbit hoped home to his
bungalow and Peetie, after blow
ing a springtime tune on the
whistle, put it in his pocket and
ran on to school, He had been on
his way there when he met Mr..
LongearS dancing.
You are just in time, Peetie,"
said the Lady Mouse Teacher in
the Hollow Stump School. "A few
minutes more and you would have
been late Take your seat and 1
will see how well you know your
lesson"
"All right, Miss Mouse" barked
Peetie politely But all at once he
had strange feeling in his heart.
Suddenly Peetie remembered that
he had forgotten to study his les
son. If Miss Mouse called on him
now he could not answer correctly.
And" thought poor Peetie, It
shall be kept in after school. I
wish 1 had studied If 1 am kept
in can't have any fun blowing
Uncle Wiggilys whistle. Oh, dearl"
Come, Peetie, say for me the
five times number table," said Miss
Mouse. Peetie began: Five times
one is five. Five times two"
That was as far as Peetie could
go. Try as he did he couldn't re-
member that five times two make
ten. Then, all of a sudden, Peetie
took the whistle from his pocket
and blew a shrill blast.
why did you do that, Peetie?'
squeaked the surprised teacher.
Because there is danger, and
Uncle Wiggily told me always to
blow this whistle in a time Of
danger" whined the puppy
What danger is there?" asked
Miss Mouse, and Peetie said:
There is danger that I may be
kept in after school for not know
ing my lesson. It's a terrible dan
ger. So I blew the whistle"
Then Miss Mouse and all the
pupils laughed. But she forgaVe
Peetie and did not keep him in
after school, for at recess Peetie
studied his lesson, SO all was we'll.
And if the bottle of cream will
try and grow big like the bottle
Of milk so it can play tag with the
oatmeal, you shall hear next about
Uncle Wiggilys rubber gun.

ROAD BUILDING
STRIKES SNAG
IN COURT SUIT

Condemnation proceedings for a
right of way for improvements to
the San Diego highway between
Dixieland and Coyote Wells struck
a snag yesterday afternoon when
Oran d. Stephens asked $4,000 for
a narrow strip of property which
yhe department of public works, in
its complaint, had valued at $l47,20.
Stephens demand was made in
an answer to the complaint filed
through the department Of public
works for the people of Califor-
mia, and in which numerous prop
erty owners, including Stephens,
were named. He answered only for
himself.
The answer, filed at the county
clerks office, charged that the
proposed roadway, which shifts
from the present route on Stephens
property, will slash the rental value
OF the property now occupied by
the Coyote Wells service station,
from $4,000 to $500 a year, and
will cut the market price from
$4,000 to $1,000.
Ills Is DeCduSe IIle COyOle Wells
service station will be cut off from
the proposed new highway. 1t can
not be moved because at that place
the new road will be hewn through
hill to a depth of y feet. This
cut, the complaint said, will leave
part of the property on one side
and part on the other, while it is
ir1nnOccib1n n prpcc
The complaint further asserted
the hill in question is composed of
clay and decomposed granite, and
, is valuable for road beds and other
construction work. The state has
appropriated and is appropriating
these materials to its own use, in
spite of the fact they are of a reas-
enable market value of 25 cents
a cubic yard, the complaint said
That the property is suitable for
subdivision purposes, and is especi-
ally desirable for a service station,
but will be practically valueless in
! the event the road is changed, are
other contentious Of the complaint.
