1 MEMBER OF FORMER RUSSIAN ROYAL FAMILY WHO IS FOUND, j
Reporter Fails to Locate
Elusive Charley.
DEATH OF BABY BLAMED
Comedian, "ot to Be Ontdone,
Steps Into Publicity Class
Willi Mary and Doug.
LOS ANGELES, Cal.. March 18.
(Special.) The "other woman" and
possibly '"the other man" loomed up
today in the domestic difficulties of
Charlie Chaplin, world famous film
comedian, following the announce
ment of Mildred Harris Chaplin, also
a screen star, that she may sue for a
divorce on the grounds of deseration
and neglect. Mrs. Chaplin, in an in
terview at her Hollywood home with
The Oreg-onian correspondent, de
clared that "another woman" was re
sponsible for the marital discord. She
said that she still loved Charlie to
death, and related many of their dis
agreements that preceded their sepa
ration. At the same time Chaplin's friends
about the Los Angeles Athletic club
declared he is preparing to file a suit
against his wife and might name an
other man. His friends say that Mrs.
Chaplin's announcement was made to
forestall a suit by the comedian.
Film Matrimonial Sea Choppy.
Thus the third and last member of
the "Big Three" of filmdom is today
following in the footsteps of the
other two "Doug" Fairbanks, who is
a divorcee, and Mary Pickford, who
was granted a decree in Nevada a
few days back. The "Big Three" seem
to find the matrimonial sea rather
choppv.
Chaplin was not to be found any
where up until a late hour tonight.
He reached the athletic club shortly
after midnight, but early this morn
ing it was discovered that he had
"flew the coop." It was reported that
Chaplin had gone to William Wrig
ley's Catalina island, using one of his
brother's (Sid Chaplin's) seaplanes to
make the trip.
Attorney Arthur Wright, represent
ing Chaplin, when asked if it were
true that Chaplin intends bringing
suit for divorce, said:
"As far as I know, Mr. Chaplin con
templates no legal action whatso
ever." Despite this it was persistently re
ported that Chaplin's suit has been
prepared and his friends seem confi
dent that he will be able to success
fully defend any action his wife may
take against him.
Mildred Chaplin Talks From Bed.
Sitting very straight beneath the
pray satin quilt which covered ner
ivory twin bed, Mrs. Chaplin gave an
interview regarding her domestic un-
happincss to The Oregonian corre
spondent today. ,
-There isn't now and never has
been another man in my life," said
she. "I have prayed that things
might right themselves with us, be
cause I know he loved me once.
"There is another woman back of
ail this, a woman he used to go with
before he knew me. That is why,
since he has no grounds on which
to get a divorce from me that he is
trying to compel me to divorce him.
If my baby, had only lived it would
have all been different."
Mrs. Chaplin, who is only 18 years
old, lost a little son eight months ago.
Comedian Not to He Ontdone.
Tongues of Angelenos are wagging
tonight over the latest divorce talk
from the Hollywood moving picture
colony. It has been rumored for
weeks that the marital situation in
the Chaplin family was near the
breaking point, and the film colony
has daily been expecting a suit for
divorce that would attract as much
attention as the recent suit of Mary
Pickford, in which she ridded herself
of Owen Moore.
Mrs. Chaplin, in her announcement,
declared that Chaplin no longer lives
at her home, 674 South Oxford street,
Hollywood. Charley moved to the
l.os Angeles Athletic club sometime
Lack.
At the athletic club early this
morning Chaplin was quoted as say
ing, when informed of his wife's
statement, "Well, such is the life in
the great west." He did not intimate
anything about what action might re
suit and said that he had seen nil
wife a few days previous and that
she had said nothing about a suit for
divorce.

Three bodies had been talten tonight
from the. wreckage of a mail train
and freight train that collided early
this evening, just out6ide the local
yards.
Neither train carried passengers
and all of the dead are believed to
be trainmen. The only body identi
fied is that of the engineer of tha
mail train.
Honolulu Building Active.
HONOLULU. T. H.. March IS.
(Special.) Four and one-half million
dollars have been spent in building
operations in Honolulu during the
year 1919, according to figures com
piled by the office of the county
building inspector. This is the larg
est nmount in ten years.
To Peel Off Freckled,
Blotchy, Pimpled Skins
As March winds, ftyins Oust and dirt

information will be of special value richt
now. It you have any cutaneous blemish,
don't use paint, powder or anything- else
td cover it up. Too oftan this only em
phasizes the defect. Besides, It's much
easier to rtmove the disfigurement with
ordinary mercollzed wax. Applied nishtly,
the wax will Kradually remove freckles,
pimples, moth patches, sallowness. red or
yellow blotches or any surface eruption.
The affected cuticle Is absorbed, a little
each day, until the ciear, soft, youthful
and beautiful skin beneath is brought
wholly to view. Ask the druggist for one
ounc of mercollzed wax and use this like
you use cold cream. Remove In tho morn
ing with soap and water. Many who have
tried this simple, harmless treatment re
port astonishing results. Adv.
tinuing the strike. They demand the
disarmament of the troops and the
inclusion in the government of mora
radical elements.
One outcome of Dr. Kapp's brief
reign is a greater tendency toward
the left among the workers, and it is
generally believed that the coming
elections will return independents in
greater force. Kapp's coup was the
greatest disservice he could have ren
dered to the conservatives, who now
are discredited and distrusted.
The censorship has been lifted and
the newspapers are allowed to pub
lish. Lord Kilmarnock, the British
charge, has taken the first oppor
tunity to publish an emphatic denial
that the allies gave any support or
sympathy whatever to the new gov
ernment. Mauifeato la Issued.
The independents' committee has
issued a manifesto, saying in effect:
"The counter-revolution has been
suppressed, but the Bauer-Noske gov.
eminent is trying to re-establish the
old regime by cowardly compromise.
Another junker, von beechrisi, re
places the junker. Von Luettwitz."
A state of siege is maintained and
the Prussian government has entrust
ed the protection of Berlin to the
reichswehr and the security guard,
which means that a military dictator
ship persists. There has been no
change in the system, but only a
change of persons. The Independents
will not accept this situation.
There were fewer disturbances in
Eerlin last night than any night since
the revolution. Several detachments
nf irnnns were sent away, dui ine
maim-itv were here this morning.
Wilhelmstrasse was crowded with
them, all carrying hand grenades;
several squads trundled machine guns
and flame throwers. When the Baltic
troops have all left, the work of
guarding the city will be undertaken
by regular government
risoned in Berlin and
police.
Papers Eagerly SourM.
During the late hours of the night
great excitement prevailed,
many persons remained
Newsboys with single-sheet
nf the Moreen Post and
organization for a supreme effort to
seize the government; and, second,
lack of military equipment and fear
of risking a struggle against the
troops in charge at Berlin, who are
believed to be far from sympathetic
toward the reds.
Little Dumase Reported.
During the Spartacan trouble In'
January, 1919, S00 were killed in Ber
lin alone. In March, 1919, the official
figures placed the number of dead at
1800. and many were unaccounted for.
The property loss through the wreck
ing of buildings and looting was esti
mated then at 100,000,000 marks. Lit
tle damage to property thus far has
resulted in the clashes in this revolution.
TRAITORS TO BE PCXISHED
Ebert Government Issues Procla
mation to People.
COPENHAGEN, March 18. A dis
h-patch received from Stuttgart dated
Wednesday tells of a proclamation
issued by President Ebert and his
government on Wednesday. It is
signed by Ebert and is similar to the
communication previously sent out by
Vice-Premier Schiffer. Among other
things, the new proclamation says:
"The criminal adventure in Berlin
is ended. Irrefutable proof has been
given the whole world by the strug
gle of the last few days that democ
racy in the German republic is no
deception and that it alone has power
and knows how to make short shrift
with even an attempted military dic
tatorship.
The proclamation urges the cessa
tion of the general strike and a re
sumption of economic life.
"Every man to worlt," It says.
"Traitors to the people who forced
you to resort to the general strike
will be severely punished by the gov
ernment, which will see that no sol
diery shall again be able to inter
fere with the destiny of the German
people. Together we have achieved
victory. To work!"

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY MEETS
President Reproaches Rebels and
I'rges Resumption of Work.
STUTTGART, March 18. (By the
Associated Press.) The German na
tional assembly opened at 4:30 o'clock
this afternoon in the fine arts build
ing. It was presided over by Kon
stantin Fehrenbach, who issued the
call for the present session. There
was a large attendance of deputies,
especially from the socialist parties,
and also of uniformed reichswehr of
ficers. President Fehrenbach said that
many conservative and national lib
eral members had not come, while
others were not able to appear. He
sharply criticised the upheaval of the
"reactionary rebels," and urged the
resumption of work throughout the
country.
The state president of Wurttemburg
welcomed the assembly in the name
of Wurttemburg, after which Gustav
Bauer, the chancellor, spoke in be
half of the government.
The house was closely guarded by
reichswehr tfoops, and armored au
tomobiles patrolled the streets. The
first session was without incident.

As far as known all the Americans

Topography of Island Thought to
Be Entrance to Magdalena
Bay, Say Survivors.
LOS ANGELAS, Cal., March IS.
The beaching of the submarine H-1
on Santa Margarita island. Lower
California, with the loss of four lives,
was the result of the topography of
that island being mistaken for the
entrance to Magdaiena bay, accord
ing to members of the crew of the
motorship Mazatlan, which brought
to Los Angeles harbor today the sur
vivors of the submarine.
The crew of the Mazatlan said they
were quoting survivors of the sub
marine. The latter, who were taken
to the submarine base at San Pedro,
had previously told their rescuers of
how the H-1 was presumably trying
to enter Magdaiena when it struck a
reef on Santa Margarita island, ten
miles south
They described the island as con
sisting of two high points, about five
miles apsrt and connected by a reef
which lay only a few feet under wa
ter. Thus, in the dark with heavy
seas running, it was mistaken for the
entrance to Magdaiena bay.
Master's Body Is) Mlsalng.
Th6 survivors expressed their be
lief that Lieutenant - Commander
James R. Webb, who was command
ing the H-1, had been struck on the
head by the conning tower when the
submarine struck the reef and that
his body had been pinned beneath the
vessel. It has not been recovered.
The body of Joseph Kaufman, sea
man, also had not been recovered
when the Mazatlan started north, but
the bodies of H. M. Gilles. machinist's
mate, and M. S. Delamarine, seaman,
drowned, and possibly burned by
chlorine gas, were buried on the
beach of Santa Margarita island.
Commander ebb was washed
overboard from the conning tower,
where he was directing the move
ments of the crew. The night was so .
dark that efforts to aid him were
unavailing.
Men Manage to Reach Shore.
When the 20 remaining men and
two officers of the crew assembled
on Redondo Point they were in little
better case than they had been aboard
the submarine. They had neither
food nor water, had no means of com
munication except by flag signals in
daylight to the H-2 and were wet
through and suffering from exposure.
They were without food or water for
24 hours, as the absence of small
boats made it impossible for the H-2
to do more than stand by. When the
Mazatlan appeared she sent boats
ashore and took the men aboard.
Once aboard they soon received cloth
ing, food and other necessaries and
by the time of their arrival here none
'of them seemed any the worse for
their experience.
Lines Paused to Diver.
The Mazatlan passed lines to the
H-1, aided by the navy men, but be
fore an attempt was made to pull the
submarine off the shoals, destroyers
sent to her relief arrived and the
Mazatlan left the salvage proceedings
to the navy vessels. The latter also
passed lines but their first attempt
resulted in the lines parting and a
further attempt was in preparation
when the Mazatlan sailed north.
The crew of the H-1 was taken to
the submarine base here on arrival
where they will await further orders.
SAN DIEGO, Cal., March 18. A
radio dispatch received here this
afternoon by Rear Admiral Welles
said that the fuel oil pumps of the
Eagle boat No. 11, first to come to
the Pacific from the Atlantic, and
convoy of the ill-fated submarine H-1,
which went ashore- on the Lower Cali
fornia coast, had broken down on the
way to San Diego.
his financial transactions to the
First National in Ontario. To the
officials of the First National he rep
resented that he was forming a pool
to play the wool market and through
his relatives had "inside information
on the market and that he wanted to
transfer $15,000 to Chicago at once
and gave the bank a draft on Gherling
for that amount.
Bank Permit Transfer.
The bank permitted him to trans
fer the funds and then when its draft
was dishonored demanded payment.
On his failure to secure payment he
gave the First National title to his
half Interest in the pressery and dry
cleaning establishment, the money
he received for his household goods
and other property that could be
converted in part taking up their
account, then he left town. A few
days later an attorney from Wausau,
Wis., appeared here and the local
banks learned of the plight of the
Wisconsin Institutions.
A. L. Cockrum, president of the
First National bank here left for St.
Louis to interview Heyman'o rela
tives named Hecht, said to be manu
facturers. All this time Ontario ex
changed notes on what had hap
pened and many were found to be
creditors in various amounts. The
total aggregate of the obligations,
outside of the banks, however, is
not great. Following the arrival of
the Wisconsin attorney action was
taken to secure the arrest of Hlrsch,
or Heyman, on the ground that the
statement furnished the First Na
tional bank alleging the ownership
of Crucible Steel stock, American
Leather and other stocks and bonds.
together with $40,000 worth of Los
Angeles real property and cash in
Wisconsin, was false.
Northern Ronte Taken.
Instead of going to St. Louis as
it was believed, he is said to have
gone to Spokane and thence east by
a northern route to St. Mary's, Ohio,
while his trunks were checked to
Niagara Falls, where, when he ap
peared to claim them on Sunday ha
was arrested. ,
Marshall H. C Farmer 'left Ontario
Sunday to bring him back and extra
dition papers have been forwarded
from Salem, Or., in case he declines to
return voluntarily. President Cock
rum of the First National, who re
turned from St. Louis today, telling
of what he learned of Heyman there,
said:
"I found that in 1918 he pulled a
bigger game than that he operated
here, though the plan was similar. In
the St. Louis deal he cleaned up $200,
000 on a fur deal and his stepfather
repaid $60,000 through an attorney to
the victims."
Efforts to have Heyman's St. Louis
relatives clear- up the local losses
have so far failed, and it is under
stood -that the Wausau creditors lost
nearly $30,000 through the various
manipulations. They, too, are en
deavoring to secure settlement. Local
officials expect Marshall Farmer to
reach here Tuesday with Heyman,
who will be arraigned at once unless
settlement is made. The local banks
through their recovery of real estate
and personal property will suffer com
paratively little.
