JOINT NOTE is
AGREED UPON TODAY
British and French Premiers TO Send
Note to Allied Conference
on July 10Th.

Paris - A joint note to the allies
suggesting how the different questions
connected with the application of the
Dawes plan might be settled was drawn
up at the conference between Prime
Minister Macdonald and Premier Her
riot of France, the British premier an
nounced today.
Mr.. Macdonald said the documents
he had drawn up with M. Herriot con-
stituted the joint note which explain
ed how the Dawes plan problems might
be settled at the inter-allied London
conference which remained fixed for
July 16. He declared there was no
thought of postponing the conference.
Satisfaction was expressed, howev-
er, that the Germans had agreed to
the main point demanded by the coun
cil--the resumption Of the control COM
missions activities.
The ambassadors note informed
Germany that the cessation of control
would depend entirely on the satisfac-
tory result of the commissions work
and on German compliance with the.
five requirements made of her previ-
ously regarding disarmament.
Inc meCnoQ OF disarmament lHSpeC-
tion would be determined by the inter-
allied control commission, the notes set
forth, and any suggestions the Ger
mans wished to offer would be consid-
cred.
The British prime minister, receiv-
ing representatives of the press after
his conference with the French pre-
mier, said:
eve have succeeded in making a
substantial beginning toward full &C
cord between France and Great Bri-
tain"
Declaring there was no intention to
postpone the London conference he
added:
What an effect it would produce if
we postponed it even for short time.
We have invited Americans to be
present and they might think it
queer if we were unable to go on with
the conference at the date which was
fixed for it."

SEPARATION Is
ASKED BY WIFE
Mrs. Jos. ROthkOwski Asks
for Children and Separ-
ate Maintenance.
MATE LOVES ANOTHER
Wife Charges that Husband Is
infatuated with Wife of
One of His Friends.

Mrs. Emily Rutkowski, Of AGO Jenne
street, today filed suit against her hus-
band, Joseph, for separate mainten-
ance, custody of three children, and
either alimony or a division OF
property.
The wife set value of $4,000 on
their property. In accordance with
her request the husbands bank ac-
count, with the exception Of his check
ing balance, has been attached, and he
has been enjoined from disposing Of
any of his property by order Of
Richard P. Cayanagh, court commits
sioner. The wife has also been grant
ed 500 suit money.
In her complaint, she charges that
the real cause of their difficulties is
her husbands infatuation for mar
ried woman, wife Of one Of his friends.
This romance" of her mates began
in November of 1928, she claims.
Administered Thrashing.
On several occasions, the wife
charges, her husband has administered
sound thrashings to her, when angered
at her remonstrances relative to his
illicit love affair. She charges that
on March 10 a quarrel started which
led to an attempt on his part to choke
her, after he had severely beaten her.
In order to prevent more serious bodily
harm, she picked up an ash pan and
beat him off. For the next three
weeks she was i'll as the result of the
battle, she alleges.
The next encounter came on Friday,
June 81, when she interrupted tele-
phonic conversation between her mate
and the other woman. Whirling on
her Rutkowski pounded her black and
blue about the arms and body.
Since infatuation began, the wife
claims her husband has developed
penchant for late hours. Often he
has not returned home until 400 a.
M and on one occasion remained out
until 500 o'clock in the morning.
Woman Threatens Shooting.
Mrs. Rutkowski claimed that on one
occasion when she was able to have
quiet talk with her husband he told
her that the other women had threat
ened to shoot herself If he gave
her up, and that for this reason it
would not be policy for him to break
off the affair.
At last, she claims, the husband OF
the other woman became suspicious,
after she had told him repeatedly of
what was going on, and finally began
watching his wife. When he caught
her he promptly kicked her out of the
house, bag and baggage.
Mrs. Rutkowsh in her complaint
states that the reason she asked for
the court attachment of the bank ac
count, and the injunction against the
sale of their property, is because her
husband has threatened to sell his
holdings here and flee from the state,
deserving herself and the children.
The couple were married here on
July II, 1912. Before prohibition Rut-
kowski owned saloon, which he has
since turned into soft drink parlor.
The three children, for whose custody
the wife is suing are: Mary, aged IL;
Helen, 10, and John, 8 years old.
Mrs. Rutkowski, says that the only
reason she is not suing for complete
divorce is because she believes that
her husband will eventually realize
the wrong he has done his family, and
return to them.
