GHAPLIN CASE NOT NEAR SETTLEMENT Parties imele {0 Reach Agree- menl_(lut of Coart Los Angeles, June 22.—(#—An- nouncing the definite failure of all efforts to settle the Chaplin divorce- alimony suit out of court, attorneys for Lita Grey Chaplin declared to- today that they were concentrating on preparations for the trial of the | case. Peace negotiations were reported definitely under way two weeks ago. They have ended definitely, Lyndol Young and Edwin McMurray, Mrs. Chaplin's attorneys announced, be- cause neither-they nor their client *‘desire a settlement, no matter how large, at the price of perjury.” The statement of the attorneys was made as the reply, they said, to an announcement to the press in New York city last night by Nathan Curkan, personal representative of Charlie Chaplin. Burkan was quoted | as saying that the film comedian would never settle with his wife until she issued a public statement saying the charges In her divorce complaint regarding- his moral con- duct during, their life together, were untrue, Chaplin would “fight and fight” to remove tle stain upon his children and himself. The McMurray-Young statement | sald: - “Lloyd Wright and Gavin McNab, Mr. Chaplin's attorneys of record, have for several weeks endeavored to bring about a settlement of their client’s difficulties. They submitted a definite proposal to Mrs. Chaplin, and we had indicated it would re- celve very serious consideration. Both the attorneys gave assurance that it was authorized by Mr. Chap- lin, and a number of conferences looking toward a settlement were conducte HUGH DeAUTREMONT GUILTY; GIVEN LIFE fwo Brothers Also Facing Charges of Murder in Train Holdup.

Minute ‘ Washington, June 22.—(M—The ; préspective Atlantic flight by Com- mander Richard E. Byrd is expected by scientists to furnish valuable in- formation on radio transmission as his plane, the America, is equipped with a radio set designed to signal the call letters of the plane ten times each minute. When the radio is not in use for other purposes an automatic at- tachment will keepgrepeating the call letters WTW. As the code for these letters is composed prineipal- ly of dashes, detection of the signal should be easy. The National Geographic soclety said that this signal should enable ship radio operators to know ex- actly where to pick up on their dials the messages that would tell that the plane was safe. Should the sig- nals cease abruptly without explana- tion it would be inferred that some- thing had happened and ships could start at cnce for the America's lo- cation. The set, designed by Malcolm P. Hanson and L. A. Hyland, of the Naval Research Laboratory at Washington, has a weight of 120 the switches and telegraph instru- ments are enclosed in a gas and flame proof box to prevent a pos- sible spark igniting the plane's gas supply. The set send only telegraphic sig- nals but can receive either signals | or spoken words, the ear receivers for the latter being cquipped with peclally designed soft rubber ear pieces inclosed in a helmet to drown and 750 miles in daytime and an estimated double range at night.
