BARONET HELD DURING SUIT OF AMERICAN WIFE Arrest Is Latest Step in Sir Charles L. Ross’ Marital Woes. By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—Sir Charles L. Ross, Scottish baronet and Inventor of the Ross rifle, was detained at a downtown hotel today, under guard of two United States marshals designated to prevent his departure from the capital. Sir Charles was taken into custody Thursday night after Lady Ross, the former Patricia Ellison of Louisville, filed a maintenance suit in district supreme court. When served with the writ, issued to prevent his departure, the baronet was unable to produce SIOO,OOO bail. He was permitted, however, to remain at a hotel under guard rather than go to jail. Breckenridge Long, former assistant secretary of state, is acting as his attorney. Lady Ross’ suit is the latest step In divorce proceedings which have raged through the courts of England, as far as the house of lords, through the United States courts and through those of Sonora, Mexico. Lady Ross, who married Sir Charles in Louisville in 1901, inserted in her latest suit that he is a multimillionaire and the owner of

more than 300,000 acres of land in Scotland. She asks that he be compelled to pay her maintenance during the suit, and that her counsel fees be paid by him. In asking the SIOO,OOO bail, she told the court he was about to leave here. The baronet contends that several years ago he established for hisi wife a trust fund which pays her $5,000 annually. The original divorce suit filed by Lady Ross in 1920 was based on charges of infidelity. The fight was carried to the house of lords which
