CONSPIRACY, CHARGE AGAINST MOORE AND MISS MARY PIGKFORD

MINDEN, Nev., April 17. A suit asking that the decree of divorce granted by District Judge Langan to Gladys E. Moore, known as Mary Pickford, from Owen E. Moore, be set aside was filed late today by Leonard B. Fowler, attorney general of Nevada. The suit was filed "in the interest of the state of Nevada." The complaint is based on allegations of fraud, connivance and collusion between Moore, his wife and Douglas Fairbanks, to whom the former Mrs. Moore was married a short time after her divorce was granted. Fairbanks Brought Into Case. Fairbanks is brought into the case through allegations that there was conspiracy between himself and his present wife to defeat that "provision of the California law, which requires that a year elapse before a final decree of divorce be granted, by having Mrs. Moore get a divorce in Nevada. In that respect it Is alleged in the complaint that an engagement and agreement to wed existed between Gladys Moore and Fairbanks prior to Feb. 15, 1920. Vhe date on which Mrs. Moore came to Nevada. "Held Court In Contempt." he complaint refers to the divorce as a "colorable decree," and alleges that the defendants held the court and its presiding magistrate "in utter con tempt." The marriage license issued by the ' unty clerk in Los Angeles enabling county clerk in Los Angele Miss Pickford and Fairbanks to wed is alleged in the complaint to have been secured as a part of the "fraudulent plan concocted by the defendants." The brief stay of Miss Pickford In Nevada is termed a "sojourn" and it is charged that at no time did she establish a residence status within the meaning of the law. Charges Against Moore. Moore came into the county "for the sole and only motive of having and submitting to have personal service of the divorce summons." the complaint says, and also that Moore's answer to the divorce complaint was not made under oath. Other allegations are that Miss Pickford concealed her identity from the judge up to the moment of taking the witness stand. Drv Kapp Is Discovered Merry Making in Sweden (By Associated Press) STOCKHOLM, April 17. Dr. Wolfgang Kapp, leader of the reactionary revolt in Berlin on March 13, who was arrested at Soedertelje yesterday, has been in Sweden for a week, having arrived by airplane from Germany on April 10. He shaved off his moustache but wej recognized by a Swedish author. Kapp spent Wednesday night at Soedertelje merrymaking with a party of Swedish engineers, who were not aware of his identity. He seemed in good humor when arrested, and admitted he was the leader of the abortive German revolt. As he is wanted in Germany for a political offense, he ' annot be surrendered, and no demand for his extradition has been received or is expected. Gas Shortage Does Not Affect Auto Traffic Here Despite the iortage of gasoline, Saturday's regular auto traffic was apparently undisturbed. North Ninth, Seventh and Sixth streets with the usual number of parked autos. However this can be accounted for by reason that most rural residents keep a supply of "gas." Also country garages have a supply of gas. Liberty residents say their town has plenty of gasoline and it can be had by any one for 30 cents a gallon. Standard Oil officials of Richmond announce that cars of "gas" are still "somewhere in Indiana." At least two cars are expected by the first of the week. Mrs. Elizabeth Parker, Of Fountain City, Succumbs Elizabeth Parker. S6 years old, died at Reid Hospital Friday night. She lived at Fountain City. Funeral services will be held at the home of her daughter, Mrs. M. C. Harrison, of Fountain City, at 2:30 p. m.. Sunday. The Rev. Livengood will officiate. Friends may call any time. School Bond Issue Failure Causes Temporary Grants Efforts by William Miller, Washington township trustee and B. F. Whissler, president of the board of education of Cambridge City, to float a bond issue for school improvement having so far failed, temporary commissions have been granted the school at Milton and Cambridge City by the state lioard of education according to C. O. Williams, county superintendent of schools who returned from Indianapolis Friday. Failure of the bond issue in Washington lownship is explained through the provision of the law that a township may be bonded only to 2 percent of its assessed valuation. The amount Heeded to make the improvements would necessitate a tax levy greater than the 2 percent maximum, it is understood.

Their fckit is a pleasing vehicle for clever bits of wit and snappy dancing. LEADERS IN GERMANY PLEAD FOR FRUGALITY (By Associated Press) BERLIN, April 17 Financial and economic collapse confronts Germany within a year if the people do not realize the situation of the country and reform their methods of living, said Dr. Wirth, minister of the treasury, addressing the budget committee of the national assembly today.

Another increase in wages will soon be demanded, particularly by workers on the state railroads, and I shudder to contemplate the next railway budget. It was hoped the deficit would not exceed 7,000,000,000 marks but it will not be less than 12,000,000,000, according to estimates. Gustav Noske, formerly minister of defense, emphasized the urgency of making the country know the facts, adding: "The people are living in a state of intoxication, and one feels helpless when he thinks of the position Germany will be in a year hence.

OVERALLS, CALICO, MAY BE UNIVERSAL DRESS N THE CITY Every Richmond man may get to work some of these days clad in nifty overalls and jumpers instead of the usual $100 suit.

Hundreds of persons here are interested in the progress of the overall campaign reported from dozens of other cities in which persons are attempting . forcibly to "Jimmy" down the high cost of clothes by earing overalls and calico. There is much sympathy expressed here with the movement, and there are dark hints that all persons here need is a leader-organizer and the movement would spread like wild-fire.
