DESERTED AT AUGUSTA

On the pretext Of going out to get
his baby some food, J. Edward Da-
ley of Boston, while being held an a
technical charge at the Augusta po-
lice station yesterday afternoon, left
his young wife and three year old
boy awaiting his return. Up to a
late hour last evening he had not
been found.
Daley, driving a Ford touring car
containing himself, his wife and
baby boy, was stopped by the Au-
gusta police about o'clock yester-
day afternoon, after word had been
received here that he was wanted by
the Waterville police on a non Sc
rious charge.
About 4 z. M. Daley left the police
station ostensibly to get the baby
something to eat and not long after
ward City Maj shall Gaskell of Wat
erville arrived to take Daley back
with him The car which Daley had
driven was still parked in the rear
of City Hall, the rear seat piled
with baggage and clothing. After
an hour, during which Daley had
not put in an appearance Marshall
Gaskell investigated the car. took
the number and phOned the automo-
bile registration bureau in Boston.
The ntormation came back that the
car was not registered in Daley's
name, but in the name of Dominic
f. Piccurello of Hyde Park, Mass.
1t was a pathetic woman who
waited in the quiet of the police
station for the return of her hus-
band yesterday at dusk. Though in
telling the story of their travels
several inconsistencies occurred, the
police aver, it nevertheless seemed
that the woman was bravely trying
to hide the heartache and appre-
hension that her husbands absence
was causing her
Unconscious of the lowering trag-
edy little Jimmie, Jr., played around
the big room, the patter of his lit
tie feet and his happy laugh the
only sounds to break the stiffness
His mother sat with head bowed
awaiting word of their disposition
by the police.
At $50 they were taken to Wat
erville by Marshall Gaskell.

Rumrunner Beauty
Has Troubles Galore
Wants Her Ship Back

London, Sept. 16.-(AP)-The
controversy which has ragged around
the now famous run schooner Gen.
eral Serrett and the beautiful wom-
an who is it's owner, Madame
Gloria De We're Casares, reached an
unexpected climax today when Ma
dame Casares was arrested charg-
ed with obtaining goods under false
pretenses, namely, gown valued at
13 guineas (about $71.40) from Sell
ridges Department store for which
she has not paid.
The arrest broke into the beauti-
full shop owners battle to resume
control OF her schooner while she
was in conferenc re with her solicitors
over proposed legal action to get the
ship out of control of it's captain,
who has refused Madame Casares
access to it. She accompanied the
detectives to a police station and was
released on bail, surety bond of 40
pounds sterling being required in ad-
dition to her own recognizance for
so pounds.
Madame Casares' arrest has dis
closed one of the most remarkable
personalities in the feminine world
of Great Britain. Newspaper read
ers know that she is young and very
beautiful, that she comes of a good
family and Is well educated, that she
Is exceptionally talented and that
to all appearance she has had con-
siderable wealth. They also know
that she is the divorced wife of
Emilio Casares, Jr., scion of dis
tinguished Argentine family. He is
now in Buenos Aires and has had
nothing to do with his former wife's
rum-running ventures. They separ-
ated four years ago.

The Ford, which had Massachusetts
license plates of 452-542, was driven
by man who gave his name as Ed

ton, Mass. After the accident he con-
tinued on his way up Main street, not
stopping to learn what injuries the

showed that he had run away.
Chief Gaskell waited in Augusta for
another hour in hopes that Daiey
would again be caught, but in the end
he returned to the city bringing Mrs.
Daley and the child with him. They

FRENCH DEBTORS TO
GET NO MORE FAvORS
THAN GREAT BRITAIN

washington, Sept. 16.-(AP)-Sen-
timent In both administration and con-
gressional circles now appears 70 he
against the granting to France of any
more favorable terms for the settle
ment of it's four billion dollar war debt
to the United States than were extend
ed to Great Britain.
A possible exception may be made in
the extension Of moratorium for a
Few years to enable the French gov
eminent to get it's financial affairs
into better shape before beginning act
ual payments on account of the prin-
cipal and interest of the debt
Coincident with the departure today
of the French debt commission from
Paris for Washington, Senator Smoot,
Republican, Utah, member of the
American commission, issued state
ment declaring Frances debt must be
settled without reference to any
agreement it's government may have
reached with Great Britain for the
funding of the Franco-British debt.
At the same time Senator Borah, Re-
publican, Idaho, chairman of the Sen
ate foreign relations committee, reit-
Grated his position that the French
debt should be funded on the basis OF
the British debt settlement.
Senator Smoot said the United
States did not purpose to be drawn
into any political deals or understand
ing" between European governments
and that the United States debt COM
mission would look after the interests
of America in the forthcoming nego-
tiations with the French.
The senator's statement follows:
Senator Borah is not wholly salts
fed with the settlement between the
United States and Belgium. He indi-
Gated that he probably would have
something to say on this subject when
the agreement comes before the SEN
ate for ratification.
While President Coolidge has made
It clear that the terms of agreement
with Belgium are not to be accepted
as a precedent for the funding of the
other war debts. it is the view of some
members of Congress that this agree
ment will serve to make increasingly
difficult the road to a settlement with
France and Italy.
The chief executive and members OF
the American debt commission hold
that because of specific promises made
to Belgium by President Wilson re-
specting it's war debt. a different sit
uation was presented than was to be
found in dealing with the obligations
of any other of the allied countries.

Many Independents Plan
To Race With LaFollette
IND|CT LABOMbARDE
AN D LEFEbVRE IN
KILLING TWO SISTERS

Nashua, N. H., Sept 16-(AP)-In-
dictments for the murder of the two
ellis sisters in Hudson last July
were brought by the Hillsboro coun-
ty grand jury today against Charles
Lefebvre, Is, and Louis Labombarde.
The Misses Helen and Georgianna
ellis, aged sisters and lifelong res
idents of Hudson, were beaten to
death in their home on July 20 last.
Their bodies were discovered by
neighbors. The house was in dis
order and much of the furniture had
been broken.
After several days unsuccessful
search for the murderer, in the
course Of which rewards totalling
$4,000 were offered, suspicion turned
to Lefebvre, who had done chores
for the sisters, and to Louis Labom-
barde of Nashua, relative of the
Lefebvre boy. After repeated ques-
tioning of both youths. in the course
of which Lefebvre told several con-
flicting stories, Labombarde finally
broke down and confessed that he
killed the sisters. In his confession
he implicated Lefebvre.
The motive for the murder was
indicated as robbery. Later Labom-
barde was reported to have repudi-
ated his confession.
