(By lntornldunal News Service.)
NEW ~ YORK, Feb. 19-—Charlle
Chaplin, wWhose gyrations on the
movie screen have made him both fa
mous and wealthy, and who will lead
the orchestra at a benefit perform
ance at the Hippodrome to-morrow,
consented to be interviewed to-day.
Charlie is not content to swing his
cane, spin on one leg and tip his nat
from behind, He has two serious am
bitions,
- One is to play Hamlet In _.the
mowles and the other is to marry a
woman who 1s both beauutul‘ and
brainy.
"Shakespeare is my favorite au
thor,"” Mr. Chaplin confided, “but yeu
no&.l never read him.”
he movie king is Engpsh by birth
and is 26 years of age,
“What type of bgauly do you prefer
~~blondes or brunettes?” Mr. Chaplin
was asked, '
The king of laughmakers pondered
for a moment and then replied:
“Both.”
The interview was obtalned in the
lobby of the Plaza Hotel, and, strange
a 8 it may seem, Charlie did not break
a single plece of furniture nor upset a
single passerby during the course of
the talk. He sat stil], just llke a reg
lar human being, and never once
tried to wing a pasisng bequty with
his cane. It was a revelation.
“I don’t think I'm funny,” Mr. Chap
lin said, when asked about his own
work. “Semetimes I walk by a thea
ter and see myself advertised as the
funniest man in America, and then 1
feel like going Into the park and soh
bing myseif to sleep on a benon. Some
of these days I am going to gat mar
ried and settle down and quit all this
foolishness."

(By International News Service.)
CHICAGO, Feb. 19.—Fifty thous
and circulars defending anarchism
and declaring the p\rcl:c:- are faking
Ithe letters which Jean Crones, poi
soner and anarchist, i 8 supposed to
be w riting to a New York newspaper,
were being printed to-day for distri
bution among church audiences to
morrow, i
The anucl}ists planned to stand in
front ofevery church, and hand out
the circulars after the congregations
are dismissed to-morrow morning.
ThHe police had fx‘ot ‘decided to-day
whether the anarchists will be per
mitted to distribute the circulars.
Priest Oenies Charge. |
The Right Rev. Francis C, Kelley, |
president of the Catholic Chureh Ex- |
| tenslon Soctety, to-day issued ,a‘
lengthy statement answering the
charge contained in one of the Jean‘
Crones letters that the banguet ten
dered Archbishop Mundelein, where
poisoned soup was sérved, was paid
for by the people who contribute to
the church. -
‘Father Kelley also denied the
statement in the Crones letter that
the banquet cost sls a plate. He
‘sald the cost was ,less than $5 al
!piato and it was paid for by individ
'uals and not by the church nor the
extension scciety.
The Chicago police to-day contin
ued seeking clews that might aid the
New Ygrk police in tracing Crones,
whose fltl(’flf newspaper letter stated
\he would remain in New York an
other 48 hours.
Says He Is in Cleveland.
A mysterious tip that Crones is in
‘hiding in Cleveland was recelved at
the Chicago Detective Burean to-day,
}and the local authorities communi
cated the tip to the Cleveland police
at onge.
| |An attempt to obtain the release of
John Allegrini, alleged accomplice of
Crones, was started to-day, when At
torney Robert 8. Nabin asked Judge
Burke for a writ of habeas corpus.
Judge Burke was one of the 300 guests
at the Mundelein banquet, and he ad
vised Nah'n to take his petition hefore
sbme other judge. .
_ The attorney had,some d{fficulty in
finding a judge ‘who had not been a
guest at the banquet, but finally hit
upon Judge Robert Turney, who
agreed to hear the petition -at 2:30
