DEPART,
LEAVING DEBT
UNSETTLED
Tentative Agreement to Pay
Double Present Rate Is
Sole Fruit Of Farley.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-tR-
Continuity of the Frnco-American
debt funding negotiations holds today
only by the uncertain link of a ten
tative arrangement brought forward
as a last resort to prevent complete
collapse of the efforts to reach a per-
manent settlement.
Finance Minister Caillaux and his
associates on the French mission have
departed for Paris, not with a pro-
gram of permanent settlement for
which they expressed hope. but with
merely a five-year payment proposal
which in effect defers for that period
settlement of the thorny problem of
how much France shall pay.
Proposed by the American debt COM
mission, after week Of negotiations
had demonstrated the futility of ef-
forts to agree on settlement at this
time, the arrangement which NJ. Call
laux has agreed to lay before his gov
eminent, would call for annual pay
ments Of $40.OOO,0O0 from France
for the next five years. Agreement
on a program of final settlement 10
succeed the proposed temporary pact
at its expiration would be left for ne
gotiations to continue in the interim.
WOULD DOUBLE PAYMENTS.
The proposed five-year payments not
only would be considered as in lieu
of oil interest on the debt for that
period, by which in effect it would
amount to an interest charges of about
1 per cent annually, but also would
take in the present annual payments
of $50 100000 on the debt for the pur-
chase of war supplies. With this sup
plying half Of the amount, France.
under the American proposal, would
be required only to double her present
payments.
The proposal as it now stands does
not bear the signature Of NJ. Caillaux,
who explained that in view of his COM
mission to sign only a final settle
ment he questioned his own right 20
act on a provisional arrangement. In
agreeing to lay it before his govern
ment, however, he gave the American
commissioners hope that it would meet
with its approval. But he emphasized
that as the continuance of the pres
ent government would depend upon its
acceptance by the French Parliament.
it was n matter requiring its most
thorough consideration.
CALLED STEP FORWARD.
While sharing the natural disap-
pointment on the American side that
permanent arrangement was not
reached, Secretary Mellon, neverthe-
less, regards the results as a step for
ward. chiefly in the closer under.
standing 1t has developed between the
two nations.
II was generally agreed that the
crux of the whole problem was plainly
stated by the secretary in the last
memorandum read to the French yes
terday, in which he declared the "nub
of the difficulty of the two commits
sions arises from difference in judg-
ment as to the future capacity Il
France to pay"

HUSBAND FOR LOAN

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-The secret
wedding a year ago of Ann Murdoch,
actress, to whom ALT Hayman, theatre.
cal producer, bequeathed an estate OF
$415,000, is revealed by a S150,0OO
suit against her husband, Harry c.

The suit further reveals that they
are living apart and that $4,000
was given to Powers in securities be-
fore their marriage so that he could

ests Are Not Same

Herbert r. Grossman, twenty.11ne
wears Of age, employed by the
Interstate Commerce Commission at
$1,86O a year, and claiming to nave
earned the degrees of A. B., A. NJ,
Ph.D., and LIB, yesterday sued his
wife, Mrs Charlotte E. Grossman,
twenty-five years old, employed IN
the general accounting office of the
Government at an annual salary
of $500, for limited divorce, al
Ieging that their views are 80 DIFF
ferent that have have not lived IN
complete harmony and happiness
and cannot so live.
The husband, represented by At
torneys Jeffords and DuJton, al
leges that his wife Is not interested
in books or study, and that while
he desires to stay at home in the
evening and apply himself TO study
his wife wants to be, out looking
for entertainment in various ways.
Grossman says while they have
not quarreled, it is obvious that
she is unhappy and that their
relationship has been growing more
and more inharmonious because of
their divergent natural tendencies
and Desires
1t is alleged by the husband that
his wife gets hysterical and has
beaten him with her fists, but that
she did not intend to injure him
and had no recollection of the
trouble afterwards. Last summer
they went to visit their parents
in Louisville, KY, where he sub
mitted to an operation from which
he went to the country to recuper.
ate, promising to return for his
wife at the end of the week.
Grossman declares that on his re-
turn he found his wife had left
for Washington and when he reach
ed here, discovered she had removed
the furniture from their home and
has not since then communicated
with him.
Grossman tells the court that
when they were married they re-
ceived many costly gifts in linen,
silverware, books and other articles,
valued at about 5000, which are now
at the home of his wife in Ken
lucky He, says he is entitled to a
share of them. The husband also
wants returned to him $3.50 which
he says is his share and is on de-
post in a Louisville bank the total
amount of which is $1,000 which is
deposited in the name of his wife.
He also wants his proper proper

BRIDGE To BOOM

VIRGINIA
Construction Work on the
New Memorial Bridge viii
Start in December

News that actual construction
work is to start on the new Airing
ton Memorial bridge before the end
of December has been Of the utmost
interest and encouragement to Ar
lington county, Va, Investors and
real estate dealers. The large mum
Der of people who are placing their
money in Arlington county land
and residential property have every
confidence that the new bridge will
have the same effect on values on
the Virginia side of the river that
the Brooklyn bridge and the sue
ceeding bridges over the East river
had on property values on Long
Island.
Mrs. Ruby Lee Minar, developer
of Lee Heights, on the Lee high
way, reports that several instances
have come to her knowledge of
Washington residents withdrawing
their money from investments in
Florida and other distant States
and investing in Arlington county.
Ihe improvements on which the in
vesting public bases its expectation
OF rapidly rising values in Airing
ton county are not rumored or CON
jectural improvements. Mrs. Minar
SAID, but are public projects already
definitely authorized or under way.
Ih1s circumstance has been in
part responsible for the most ac-
tive summer in real estate that Ar.
llngton county has ever experienced.
Mrs. Minar's office reports a gross
business for July, August and Sep
TENDER of approximately $500, 600.
and other offices specializing in
Virginia real estate report similar
activity. Dealers describe the real
estate situation in the county al
an acutely rising market and pre-
dict that in another three years.
or by the time the new bridge is
opened for traffic, there will not be
piece of land in Arlington coun-
ty that can be bought for anywhere
near the prestnt prices.
When | opened Lee Heights in
the country club section OF the
county some people thought my ex-
pectations for this community wel @
too high" said Mrs. Minar. "How-
ever. even though Lee Heights is
scarcely more than two years old,
my predictions for the section have
been already surpassed. The
growth and development in the en-
tire north end of the county in
which / am particularly interested
have been far greater than I dared
forecast two or three years ago.
