The separation suit of Mrs. Caro-
lima Marshall against Everett Mar
shall, baritone, was revealed today
following her appointment as re-
ceiver for all her husbands prop,
erty in this State.
Supreme Court Justice Louis A.

her husband sent her to Italy six
years ago and left her there alone
with their daughter.
She produced a letter, written
in December, 1885, in which the

The couple was married in

ion in brightlight rendezvous for

JAPANESE ARMY
BLOCKS CABINET
Refuses to Name War Min.
lister for New Ugaki
Government.
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, January 25.-The efforts
of Gen. Kazushige Ugaki to form q
new cabinet and end Japan's grave
political situation were reported today
to be blocked by army opposition.
The japanese press declared the
army has refused to name war min
lister for the Ugaki government, auto
matically creating a deadlock. Jap
anese law requires a general officer
on the active list must hold that cab
met post.
The 68-year-old former governor
general of Korea accepted his en-
peror's command to form govern
ment after a dramatic midnight ride
from his home at Nagaoka.
Once a peddler of vegetables, Ugaki
Is now regarded among the empires
most brilliant administrators. He al
ways has been understood to be friend
" toward the political parties whose
bitter attacks on the army brought
the present crisis to head.
Military leaders we're reported to
have decided formation of a cabinet
by Ugaki would fail to achieve the
army program.
Ugaki, striving to avert failure,
scheduled meeting with Gen. Count
Juichi Terauchi. minister of war in
the resigned cabinet of Premier Koki
Hirota. Terauchi led the militarist
attack against the parliamentary
parties in the heated Diet debate that
finally forced the downfall Of the
Hirota government.
Among the demands he was ex-
pected to make on Ugaki were:
l. Exclusion of party leaders from
the cabinet.
2. Changes in the government struc-
ture.
g. Creation of a strong new rightist
party from the existing parties, there
by giving the government majority in
the Diet.
The four times minister Of war was
expected to yield to the army's wishes
as much as possible, even, some sources
said, to the point of accepting all three
demands.
The stock market, which declined
sharply on Hirota's resignation. re-
covered appreciably. Considerable un-
easiness remained, however, over the
army opposition.
