FRENCH F FRIANC
GOES LOWER, 40
TO u. S. DOLLAR
-FRENCH-2O-P1
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)

PARIS, July 12.-At the very hour
M. Caillaux was signing the Anglo
French debt settlement in London, the
franc sank in Paris to the lowest level
ever reached, the dollar selling at 40
francs and sterling at 194.75.
One cause of the slump is ascribed
to the fact that dispatches from Lon
don denied the Paris reports that M
Caillaux would obtain all the favor
able terms he was seeking.
The franc began the day at 1876 for
sterling and 1925 for the dollar, dis
tinctly lower than at the close of un-
official trading on Saturday. 1t then
fell consistently until 80 the quotas
tions were 193.40 and 39.63. The Off
cial closing figures were 1885 and
1887. Later, after the bourse had
closed, the dollar reached 40 and the
sterling around 1876.
Another cause of the drop was re-
newed fear that the BRAND -CaillauX
cabinet was coming to grief in the inn
pending debate in the chamber on
"fuu powers of legislation by decrees,
which had been asked. 1t is pointed
out in bourse circles that the slump
may also have been due in measure
to Brussels selling French francs
heavily, and that the faH of the Bel
gian franc was reacting On the French
franc. The Anglo-French debt agree
ment will not be made public here un-
til tomorrow evening, but it is under
stood that the settlement is along the
lines of the first formal negotiation
open by M. Caillaux year ago, es-
timating the total amount of the debt
at 653, 100000 pounds on June 80, 1929
on which M. Caillaux was reported tc
have agreed tentatively to payment al
the rate of 12,5OO,O0O pounds yearly for
so years.
This settlement never has been Of
ficially ratified, but France formally
has undertaken to pay 100000 pounds
a year on account.

French Debt Settlement
Changes Can Only Be Made
By Congress, Says Mellon

WASHINGTON, July IL. - The
French debt settlement, I'm the Opin-
ion of Secretary Mellon, is out of
the hands of the American debt
commission, and If France wants
more Ienient terms it must lay its
ease before congress.
Since the agreement already has
been ratified by the house, he con-
siders it improbable. however, that
the senate VvOull consent to any
material modifying amendments.
II is the view of administration
officials that if France fails TO rati-
fy the settlement, she would be in
less favorable position, since the
United states, through it's loans,
holds a demand note ON the FreneIA
government payable in cash. while
the debt agreement would allow

MILLS TOUCHES
 DEAD WIPES HAND
Identifies Body Again-AutopSy
 Is Not Completed

somerville, N. J., Oct. 29 L49 - Determination of whether the tongue of Mrs. Eleanor Mills was cut out after she was slain with the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, en- gagged the attention of Investigators today.
 Mrs. Mills body was removed yesterday a second time from its four-year-old grave that a third autopsy might be performed to gather evidence for the trial next week of the slain clergyman's widow and her two brothers. who are accused of the double murder.
 Dr. Otto H. Schultze Of the New York district attorneys office. dis covered at the second autopsy four years ago that the choir singers throat had been slashed. Recent rumors have it that her tongue was also cut out The third autopsy was ordered by the state to learn if this were so. Dr. Schultze has charge of 1t also.
 T can't say just now whether the tongue was cut or not" de- clared Dr. Schultze. There must be an analysis to determine that def- nitely. but it seems very likely that 1t may have been done. l don't know, however, and will not know until I complete analysis of organs which I am taking to laboratories in New York city"
 Mills Identifies Body
 Dr. Schultze said he found one bullet wound in the forehead, one in the right cheek near the eye and one in the right temple. He saw the slashed throat and a knife cut on her chest. He said the body was ''in an excellent state of preserva- tion." and that his report would not be made before Saturday.
 The body was laid out on a crude bench in a shack at the cemetery for the autopsy. James R. Mills, the dead womans husband, identified it by the wedding ring He touched his wife's hand for a moment. Reporters were not ad- mitted to the shack.
 Alexander Simpson, special prose- cutor, has submitted an order to the district attorney of New York county for the elimination of Dr. Halls body. which is buried in Brooklyn. The order requires the signature of a supreme court jus tice to be honored.
 Jury List Incomplete
 Defense and prosecution today had list of 60 potential jurors from which each side could strike as many as 12 names. Simpson an- nounced that four of the men on the list, which he said was 10 years old. are dead and five others no longer live in Somerset county.

 Unparalleled Expenditures
 Tn the early days of this cam I instances of inefficiency and wrong doing at the demand of our oppo- nents. They had claimed that after the Baldwin regime the republican administrations entered on a policy of retrenchment and economy. Everybody in the state today knows that the republicans after Baldwin's administration entered on a period of unparalleled expendi- lures of state funds. That fact has not been clouded by any side is sues. Perhaps it is time, now. to reply to the republican demand for specific cases of wrong doing.
 T have heard of many instances Of abuses of public trust which came from reliable sources h:r which I could not prove to the letter and so I have refused to re- peat them. But here are a few specific items of branch Of public trust. I will give names only on a written request from Governor Trumbuil

Through fife Static

Another excellent evening, with the lid boiling off reception. Our as sistant had a chance to do his stuff and he fixed matters up very we'll Chicago came through with excel lent volume and other stations were heard in good form.
 VEAL, Baltimore, came through extremely loud, a classical trio Of fering the events of the evening, in solar as this listener was concerned. One of the many serenades was played.
 The good old "St. Louis Blues" concluded a program by Smiths or chestra from WPG, Atlantic City, and the band certainly put new life into the dance number which has outlived all others. Pep and snap were prominent in the band and we liked it. WPG was very loud For some reason or other, George Olsens Hotel Pennsylvania orches- tra appeared at 7:05 o'clock last evening at WIZ. One can never tel! when features will be changed at that New York station and no warn ing is ever given in advance. We happened to tune in that station at about 7:15 o'clock and just by luck we heard the band. George Olsen of iciated at the microphone for q while and later he turned the job over to NJ. J. Cross, meanwhile fling ing verbal bouquets at the latter's s head. The latter responded gallantly and Mir. Olsen was deluged with flowers. That was all very nice, but it didn't interest us particularly.

The band was in good form last evening, presenting a group of new numbers, in addition to some Of the l old favorites. MT. Olsen stated that a new type Of mute is being used on the trumpets and he asked the radio i audience how they sounded and if they improved the sound Of the trumpets. We listened carefully to the music and decided. that We en- joyed it more. The trumpets were not so blarey and the tone was softened considerably.
 The American Legion dinner to | Gene Tunney was broadcast by 1 WNYC last evening, and the station came through well, but the listening ] period was short due to the fact that there was so much talking and the | talks were not highly interesting to the outsider. William c. Green, pres i ident of the American Federation of Labor, made few pertinent re ] marks, but there were other fields to conquer, so away to-

The Piano Lesson" was played and this satisfied, while The Stars and Stripes Forever" helped along too The music came through sharp and clear.
 Away out to WADC, Akron, to hear a program taking place in the studio Of WEAF, New York. The former station came in loud, as did WEAF, in fact The Ripper club was
 holding a meeting and we got in just before it adjourned. A mixed quartet's rendition Of "I Never Knew" concluded the program.
 KDKA, Pittsburgh, in good form,
 presented a dance orchestra, the
 name of which was missed, in a
 group of popular numbers including
 "Breezing Along With the Breeze, '
 Precious" Who Could Be More
 Wonderful Than You?" etc, etc.
 And then WTAM. Cleveland, with Guy Lombardo and his orchestra stepping things up in good shape
 This station was also loud. Broken , Hearted" played as only Lombardo's
 band can play it, was one of the SC,
