Family Missing

PASADENA, Calf, Oct. l.
Failure to secure trace of the yacht
Wanderlust, owned by Harvey Bis
sci, multimillionaire, who with his
wife and two children sailed for the
Marquesa Islands, August 2, caused
relatives to express fear for their
safety here today.
The steel schooner of SO gross
tons, left Los Angeles harbor with
the Bissel family and crew of six
men for the south sea port of Nuk-
uhiva and was expected to reach
the islands in about three weeks.
She is now considered more than a
month over due.
Cablegrams dispatched to til e
islands have brought no reply, A. B.
McCay, a nephew of the missing
man said. The w anderlust did not
carry radio equipment, but had aux
iliary power to aid her in case of
adverse weather conditions.
The Wanderlust was built in Eliz-
abeth, n. j., in 1901 and was
brought to the Pacific coast follow
ing the World War, where the late
Thomas H. Ince, purchased it. The
missing carpet-sweeper magnate ac-
quired it from Corinne Griffith, film
actress about four months ago.

PARIS, Oct. 1.-France's reply
to the last American note over the
tariff controversy was in the hands
of Sheldon Whitehouse, American
charge d 'affaires today. He plan
ned to study it over the week end.
Whitehouse told the United Press
that the French reply was lengthy
and he had not yet completed its
translation.
The note was handed to him last
night by Finance Minister Bokan-
owski.
Earlier in the day the cabinet,
meeting at President Doumergue Is
home at Rambouillet, had studied it
after which Bokanowski added some
finishing touches.
Bokanowski informed the cabinet
that demands of the United States
government conflicted with French
policies and laws but that Franco
was ready to offer concessions and
continue negotiations. France pre-
ferred to negotiate secretly through
diplomatic channels rather than il
public, Bokanowski said.
He suggested to Whitehouse when
he handed him the French reply
that its publication be held uI
pending Washington s decision tt
the French proposal that the cor
respondence between the two gov
ernments on the subject remain un
published for the present.
