embodying official recognition was
dispatched to the Soviet govern
ment at noon.
Negotiations looking toward re-
cognition of Russia by France have
been under way for some time, prac-
tically since the Horriot government
came into office. The question of
Czarist debts for time stood in
the way. but it finally was agreed
that these should be discussed by
representative of the two nations
after the French government ex-
tended recognition.
II was learned from semi-0fficial
sources that the telegram sent to
Moscow accorded unconditional rec
ognition without surrendering any
of France s rights or claims on the
Soviet government.
The French government took fhe
step because it is believed it will
facilitate actual settlement iof

A LONG ILLNESS
by United Press Leased Wire

CHICAGO, Oct. 90. : Richard
Dickie' Loeb, who with Ma, han
leopold Jr., murdered ii year old
Bobbie Franks, may be released
from the. Illinois State penitentiary
at Joliet long enough to attend the
funeral of his multi-millionaire
father, Albert II. Loeb, who died
at his home here shortly before lnil-
night.
John J.. Whitman, warden of the
penitentiary, is known to favor TO
granting Of permission to prisoners
to attend funerals of near rela ives,
and if application is made it is con
sidered almost certain that Dickie
will leave the prison for few hours,
at least.
Richard s father, senior vice pres
ident of Sears Roebuck and Co.,
expired of heart failure after n
prolonged illness. Members of the
Loeb family were emphatic in deny
ing that death was brought about
or even fastened by the confession,
court hearing and sentencing of his
third eldest son to the penitentiary
for life.

to life Imprisonment in the Illinois

father s death in Chicago last night,
Warden John l.. Whitman told the

The notification, Whitman said,
will be simple and will not inter
