From, Film Star

LOS ANGELES, July "a. W.P) -
Mrs. Edna G.. Bancroft today filed
suit for separate maintenance
against George Bancroft, veteran
screen actor, accusing him of fail
ure to provide.
Mrs. Bancroft alleged her hus-
band failed to support her although
he earned more than $4,000 a week.
She demanded $1,000 a month as an
allowance, $4,000 for her attorney
and $500 court costs.
Mrs. Bancroft said the actor de-
serted her in October, 1917, and
that they had lived apart from that
date.
The suit represented the wife as
impoverished, Her husband will
fully neglected to provide" her even
the necessities of life after leaving
her against her wishes, the COM
plant alleged.
Bancroft was said to be in pos
session of community property at
Malibu Beach and Santa Monica,
consisting of real estate, furniture
and automobiles. No value was set.
The Bancrofts were married at
Buffalo, N. Y, April 7, 1918. They

RILEY GIVES /.
WARNING ON .
TAX BOOSTING

SACRAMENTO, July "a. W.P}-
Counties planning to increase dis
bursements beyond the five per
cent limitation permitted by the
Riley-Stewart tax relief were warn
ed today by Ray L. Riley state
controller that their disbursing
officers may be held personally
liable.
Under terms of the Riley-Stew-
art bill, counties and other tax
bodies may increase expenditures
only five per cent over the amount
spent during the preceding year.
Petitions for going beyond that
limitation must be presented the
state board of equalization by
August l.
San Francisco is planning ST.
100000 tax increase in the next
year, Riley said, and Los Angeles
was expected to seek permission
to increase its tax rate.
Indications that many counties
and tax districts were planning un-
authorized tax increases led Riley
to warn disbursing officers that
they may be held personally liable,
through their bondsmen, for ex-
ceeding the limitation without per-
mission. Any taxpayer may bring
court action against county offic-
ials or disbursing officers to halt
excessive expenditures.
Eight hundred tax spending
bodies have asked permission to
increase their expenditures. The
board of equalization granted per-
mission to only %, all of them
school districts.
