Sears Indicates
Mrs. Olds Will Be
Granted Divorce
Also Intimates That Property
Valued at 100000 Will
Be Divided Equally Be-
tween Them.

District Judge Sears indicated, at
the close of the Ods divorce hear
ing Saturday afternoon, that he
would grant Mrs. Mary Olds, 90, a
divorce, and divide the Olds property
equally between Mrs. Olds and her
husband, Edwin Olds, 81. wealthy
retired farmer. The property is es-
timated at $lQ0, 600
1T is strange that during this case
Mr.. Olds has been painted as a bad
character" said Judge Sears, "when
20 depositions from residents near
his farm at Winside, Neb., state that
they have never heard of Olds beat
ing his wife, or leaving his farm to
go out on drunken orgies.
Gives Benefit of Doubt.
Surely the neighbors would know
1T Olds had done the things credited
him in this case"
Judge Sears sent Mr.. and Mrs.
Olds into his private office Tor five
minutes, at the close OF arguments
by attorneys. They came to no
agreement. Olds told his attorneys
that Mrs. Olds was willing to give
him another chance, and wanted him
to come back to her.
Robert Olds, a son, was scored
by Judge Sears for striking his faith
er, as was brought out in the testi-
mony. Addressing both Mr.. and Mrs.
Olds Judge Sears said:
If you old people would hold to
each other as hard as you fought to
win each other. you would be happy
couple today. AS | say this it brings
to memory the old Jewish couple
that died when the Titanic sank
the wife refusing to leave the shiT
without her husband.
you have been a pair of foolish
people" continued Judge Sears. ~
should not have left the farm
where you raised your family
To Robert. the son, Judge Sears
said: "If you live to be 100 year
old YOU will never find an excuse
for knocking down your father.
There could be no excuse, except to
protect your mother
Settlement Not Agreed on.
Congressman Jefferis, who was CO.
counsel with Harland Mossman for
Mrs, Olds, left for Washington at
/ s last night after spending almost
a week in Omaha on the case. They
were unable to agree with Old's at
torneys on what an equal settlement
of the property would be late yester-
day afternoon.
The suit for divorce was brought
by Mrs. Olds.

Unabl to

Official Declaration Of lnabiI.

United States Expected
Soon.
Expert Gives Opinion

Washington, Feb. l9,--Admins-
ration officials believe a statement
by NJ. Louis Loueheur former
French minister OF devastated re.
gions. that France has no resources
with which 10 pay is debts. is the
iorerunner OF an official deelsfa-
ton that France is unable 10 meet
lis obligations 10 the United States.
In an interview cabled 10 this
country. NJ. Loucheur. one OF the IL
nancial authorities OF France. de-
clared that nothing is 10 be gained by
concealing the fact that his govei,-
ment is unable to meet its financial
obligations.
NJ. Loucheur's statement has been
brought 10 the attention OF Presi-
dent Harding. Secretary OF the
Treasury Mellon and Secretary OF
Commerce Hoover, the three oiii-
cials who will have most to do with
fixing this governments policy when
the time comes to deal definitely
with the allied indebtedness.
Mccormick Not Surprised.
Senator Mccormick OF Illinois.
whose resolution adopted by the
senate January 10, is believed TO
have prompted NJ. Loucheur 10 pre-
sent Frances situation, expressed
no surprise when he read the inter-
view.
81 believe said Senator McCor-
mick, that this is the first official
intimation We have had from high
French sources that France will not
pay her loan.'
He stated that NJ. Loucheur mere.
ly declared publicly, and in a senss
officially, what other Frenchmen
had been saying privately for
months. He recalled that Paris news
papers had suggested, in recent
weeks, that the debt OF France
could only be paid if Germany met
its reparations payments and il Rus
sia paid what it had borrowed from
France before the war.
Loans Without Conditions.
The American loans to France.
the senator contends, were made
without conditions as TO their re-
payment and he urges that France
and other debtor nations should at
least make an effort in good faith 10
meet the interest charges.
The resolution he put through the
senate asked the State department 10
transmit all information in its pos
session relative to the revenues, ex-
penditures and deficits OF the Euro
pean states-showing the annual cost
OF land ornaments, including both
ordinary and. extraordinary cxpendi-
lures and the sum of interest an
nually due from the several states.
on account of the loans made to
them by the United States.
The secretary of state has not
yet replied to this senate resolution,
but Senator Mccormick thinks its
passage, together with subsequent
statement by him published in a
Paris newspapC', possibly facilitated
the expression of the nonpaymcnt
views Of M. Loucheur.

Sentiment for
Monden Bonus
Plan Growing
Proposal to Finance Initial
Payments Through Cut in
Supply Bills Gaining
Favor.
By the Associated Press.

Washington, Feb. l9.-lhes SOL
diers' bonus situation continued to
be so nebulous that republican house
leaders still were unprepared to ven-
ture even a guess as to what plan
of financing ultimately would be
agreed upon. 1t was understood to
be their disposition to let the ques-
ton simmer a while longer in the
hope that sentiment would so shape
itself as to facilitate the task OF
those who will frame the measure.
1t developed today that beneath
the surface of the storm which has
ragged around President Harding's
suggestion that the bonus be fl
nanced by sales tax, there has
been a lot of quiet talk in support
OF the proposal advanced by some
leaders last week that the legislation
be made a general charge against
the treasury with expected savings
through cuts in regular appropria-
ton bills relied upon for the financ-
ing Of a portion of the initial cost.
When first suggested by Repre-
sentative Mondell, Wyoming, the
majority house leader, this proposal
seemed to meet with considerable
favor among the rank and file in
the house, but the idea became all
but submerged by the wave of talk
that swept through cloak rooms al d
corridors after the presidents let
ter to Chairman Fordney Of the ways
and means committee had reached
the capitol. ...
Move to Reduce Budgets.
Irrespective of the bonus, there
apparently was determination in
the house to reduce the estimates
for both the navy and the army and
that possibly S2O0,00O,000 would be
cut out Of the supply bills for those
departments alone. Such sum. IT
was said, would go long way

cent under the record OF last year, &C
