WRIGHT FUGITIVE CHARGES DROPPED Husband of Dancer Refuses to Prosecute When Given Share in Child’s Custody. By the Associated Press. MINNEAPOLIS, October 29.— Fugitive from justice charges against Frank Lloyd Wright and his com- panion, Mme. Olga Milanoff, were dropped in Police Court here today at the request of Wisconsin authorities.

Bohn of Baraboo, Sauk County, Wis.,, saylng that no action would be taken there on the warrants charging the couple with adultery, upon which the fugitive charges were based. ‘Withdrawal of the adultery charges was made possible when Vladimir Hinzenberg, former husband of Mme.

BIG NAVY ARSENAL INNEVADAPLANNED 100,000 Acres Reserved for Establishment of Ammuni- tion Depot. teservation of 100,000 acres in Min- al County, Nev., for a naval ammu- nition depot, was announced today at the Interior Department. President Coolidge has issued an executive order withholding the land from settlement. The depot site is south of Walker Lake, near Hawthorne. It was chosen after an inspection by Navy engineers, who took into account its isolation 'from any thickly settled community, which might ®uffer from such an explosion as that which wrecked the Lake Denmark reserva- tlon in New Jersey last Summer. There is no town within 10 miles. Another factor in the selection was the remoteness of the tract from danger of attack in war time. Navy plans for developing the res- ervation are not yet complete, and it was Indicated today that the Presi- dent's actlon did not contemplate immediate construction of a depot.

Shade Trees Cut in Street-Widening Must be Replaced o trees removed from public gs in all street-widening proj- ‘ects in the future will have to be re- placed at the expense of the Depart- ment of Trees and Parkings, under ruling by District Auditor Daniel J. Ponovan. The cost in the past has Deen assessed against the street- ‘widening appropriation. Clifford Lanham, superintendent of trees and parkings, explained that the ruling will work a hardship on his department, which already is suffer- jog from inadequate funds, by Tree Department ‘The unit cost of replacing trees is $11. In the Connecticut avenue wid- ening project, south of Dupont Circle, 40 trees will have to be replaced this Fall or next Spring, making an unex- pected debit of $440 in Mr. Lanham's ippropriation.

AMUNDSEN LOSES MALD' RELES 200 Cases of Arctic Treas- ure, Shipped From Seattle, Arrive Minus Contents. BY BJORN BUNKHOLDT. By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News. OSLO, October 29.—Thieves have deprived Roald Amundsen, the polar explorer, of all the results of the Maud's polar drift. When the Maud arrived at Nome all her equipment, including a_price- less sclentific collection, rare skins, a movie camera, thousands of feet of film, the belongings of the crew and fine ‘speciments of handicraft made by the crew during the drift, were packed in 200 cases and dispatched from Scat- tle, via Vancouver, to Oslo. The cases appeared to be unbroken EISEMAN’S on their arrival here, but when opened they proved to contain only straw and waste paper. Only the sclentific in- struments were intact. The theft 1s believed to have been committed when the cases passed the Canadian border. The Canadian cus- toms officers demanded examination owing to the great number of the cases, and it is thought the boxes were rified while in customs storage. The thieves took the greatest care to restore the cases to their originai 1p- pearance, and nobody suspected the ;Ihem until the cases were opened ere. It is Amundsen’s great luck that the scientific records of the drift were ecnt by another route, with special safe- guards. But the loss of the equip- ment and belongings of the crew will be a serious blow to them. (Copyrixht. 1626, by Chicazo Daily News Co.) e Dies on Train After Funeral. Special Dispatch to The Star.

CANTON MAY FORCE ISSUE WITH WEST Seizure of Northern China May Bring Up Recogni- tion Problem By the Associated Press. LONDON, October 29.—The possi- bility of the victorious Cantonese reds overruning Northern China, en- gulfing Peking, dispersing the nominal central government there and thus forcing the issue of China's whole relationship with the Western npowers, is being studied seriously in authoritative British circles. The consensus is that the Can- tonese Natfonalists will fail to unify China. as other groups have failed, but will be able to maintain and con- solidate their influence in the South, thus presenting the foreign nations with the problem of what recognition to take of the existing divisions of the great republic of the East. According to the British view, Soviet Russia's sympathy, advice and material assistance, to which the success of the Cantonese thus far has been largely attributed here, are likely to prove a serious hindrance to their campaigns in the North, where it is declared the imperialist ambitions of Russia probably will be revealed to China, as they were in the days of the csars. From information received {n Lon- don, Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, the | Manchurian dictator, is even more | jj anti-Soviet than the Japanese, and i the possibility of Manchuria becom- | | ing reconciled to the Canton gov- | ernment is regarded as most remote. One test of the attitude of the Northern provinces toward Canton is expected in the reception given to Marshal Feng Yu-Hsiang, who, after visiting Moscow, has returned to Northwestern China to further the Cantonese cause. e Edith Badgley, aged 19 years, of Topeka, Kans., has established herself In the racing world as a full-fi Jockey. 7th & F Streets TORBOR D YOUR CREDIT IS GOOD AT EISEMAN'S sizes.
