Miss Wills to Wed Son OF
Capitalist; Mile. LengIen's
Romance in Doubt.

BIZ United Press
Los ANGELES, Cal, Jan. 16. -
The 'tempermental Suzanne" and
little 'poker-face Helen" women
stars of the tennis armament, fig
ured prominently today in the game
of romance.
From Berkeley came the report
that Helen Wills had lost "love
set match to Frederick Shander
Moody Jr., wealthy San Francisco
stock broker. It was announced by
Miss Wills mother, that the ma
tional women's tennis champion and
Moody probably would be married
in 1880 after Helen has completed
her senior year at the University Of
California.
On the other hand, the outcome
of the rumored match between
Suzanne Lenglen and Baldwin M.
Baldwin remained in doubt, al
though self-appointed referees and
linesmen were inclined to render a
decision against Cupid, the pro-
moter.
The French tennis star was re-
ported to have left The home of
Mrs. Anita Baldwin, Baldwin
mother, after a quarrel. Suzanne
and her mother had been guests at
the Baldwin home and it was re-
ported their sudden departure fol-
lowed by a quarrel between Suzanne
and her hostess.
Rumors of the Baldwin-Uenglen
romance have been denied repeated
ly by the Baldwin family. Baldwin
has not obtained divorce from his
wife, from whom he has been sep
arated for nearly three years.
Efforts to locate Miss Lenglen
and her mother at the home of
Thaddeus Winter, with whom they
were reported to have left a hotel
here, we're unavailing. Baldwin
also left his mothers estate, taking
residence in his club.
AT the Arcadia estate of the Bald
wins, Mrs. Baldwin was reported to
be suffering from a slight nervous
attack. Her secretary, H. Dearborn,
issued statement on her behalf.

FOCH GAINS IN
FIGHT FOR life
CIemenceau Also Better, Is
Doctors Report; Both
Rest Well.
BY RALPH HEINzEN


PARIS. Jan. 1.-TWO Of Frances
most distinguished sons were
struggling with illness today-Mar-
shall Ferdinand i7och, commander
of the allied forces in the World
war, and the former premier
Georges Clemenceau.
Foch, strongly imbued with will
to live, rested better Tuesday night,
taking several short maps which gave
him several hours of sleep.
Clemenceau, the "Tiger" Of war
days, also lay ill, but his condition
was not regarded as serious. Ply
Sicians for both men were optimistic
in statements today.
The six doctors attending Foch
were more hopeful as the result OF
his rest, but they emphasized that
his condition will remain grave for
several days more.
Once during the night the little
crowd of people who kept watch in
the courtyard Of the Foch mansion
were alarmed when they heard his
cries of pain.
It was learned that at the time
he was suffering from one of. his
suffocating spells, brought on by the
condition of his heart. He suffered
only two attacks last night.
Foch Tuesday night received in
jections to sustain his heart action
and aid his kidneys, and his doctors
suggested that, should he weather
the next three days, he would have
a chance of full recovery.

CITY STUDIES
GAS Finance
Conferees Wish to Avoid
Bond Issue That Would
Be Costly.

Methods of financing redemption
of the $4,000 900 Citizens Gas Com
pany stock we're considered today
by city officials.
Several plans for redeemiEg the
100000 common and 100000
preferred stock, which is necessary
before the city takes control OF the
property, are being studied.
Mayor l.. Ert Slack, John w.
Hoffman and Fred G. Cause, spe-
cial gas counsel, and Corporation
Counsel Oren S. Hack have con-
ferred several times on the best plan
of procedure.
City officials are DESTROYS of rails
ing money to redeem the stock, In
accordance with the original fran
chise, without issuance of bonds
against the city general. This Seri-
ously would cut the legal bonding
limit margin, which it is desirable
to avoid.
Big Saving Sought
It is understood that Slack and
the attorneys have a plan for saving
the city about 5000 600 In interest
alone by creation of a separate util-
ity unity, with authority to issue
bonds, the same as the park and
sanitary departments.
The city could issue bonds, bor-
rowing the money at AZ per cent
interest, while the articles OF JIM
corporation provide that the inter-
est rate shall be per cent if mort
gage is issued against the gas
property. This would mean an an
nual saving in interest OF 5000,
nearly a million dollars over the
twenty-year period.
I'VE are not ready to set our
program along that line until FUR
ther study has been given to the
matter. The citizens Of indianapolis
will be protected in every regard
and an economical plan followed" =
Mayor Slack declared.
Legislation Is Drafted
Special gas counsel for the city
are drafting remedial legislation to
enable the city to manage, operate
and finance the $20,000,000 utility
after the property has been taken
over, in accordance with the orig
iral 1905 franchise granted by the
city.
The proposed legislation is ex-
pected to be completed this week
and conference held with Marion
county legislators. 1t is not known
who will introduce the bill.
Attorneys for the gas company are
cooperating with the city legal aids
in preparing the bills, Attorney
william H. Thompson said.

MAPS SERVICE FIGHT
Bill Under Way to Lessen
Commissions Power.

First shot to be fired in the leg
islative attack on the public service
commission will be a bill being pre-
pared by Representative DELPHI l..
McKesSon Den., Plymouth, which
asks that municipality owned utilities
be removed from the control of the
commission.
A bill of this nature precipitated
the 1927 onslaught on the commits
sion. AS a part of the Democratic
home rule program a similar bill
was introduced in the 1928 legisla-
ture.
One feature of the bill which is
new is that one or more cities or
towns will be permitted to join in
operation and ownership of util-
ity and would be authorized to sell
SURPRISES outside the corporate
limits.
The law would also extend the
same privileges to privately owned
utilities operated municipality.

ATEW YORK, Jan. 16-Those oft-told tales about

who come to make their own way in New York are
Just so much fiction and nothing more
For this you have the word of Helen woodward,
one of the countys best known advertising execu-
tives, who twenty years ago spent nine months try
ing to land her first New York job and who has
kept close contact with the problem of the home
less working girl ever since.
Il don't believe there are any dangers of
great city," she declares in article written for
the current Smart Set magazine. "The girls who
are likely to run into dangers are willing to
into them and would do so as readily on the front
porch at home as on the corner of Forty-Second
street and Broadway. Every girl has an instinct
about such things. If vicious atmosphere Is in
teresting to her. it is because she has a tendency
that way"

that Mr.. Tony had decided to kick

that since he was forced to close his
place he wondered whether could
get him a job on the New York

The message, I imagine, was more
in anger than in mockery and I
want to take this opportunity to say
that I have had no personal share
in any campaign against LIQUOR,
good or bad.
AS matter of fact, it seems to
me that the Telegram did good
journalistic job of public service in
turning over to Grover Whalen the
names of places where poison rum
was sold.
In all fairness I must admit that
I drank several gallons of bever-

the senate with only negative vote ratified the
treaty-or what was left of it.
While recognize that the pact has been nullifed
partly by foreign interpretations and further nuled
by the senate committee interpretations, believe
they have failed TO kill the spirit of the treaty.
From the beginning the treaty text was moral
pledge and not legal contract Because it never
legal contract all these egalistc restrictions can
not quite destroy the moral reality.
That moral reality consists in the desire of the
peoples of the world to renounce war, and their
achievement in making their governments officially
recognize, even grudgngly that purpose of peace.
Like other treaties-but no than most treaties
this is only scrap of paper in itself. 1t will
be effective for peace, or not effective, depending
upon the good faith of the governments. There is
no way of guaranteeing that good faith in advance
But the special virtue of this treaty is that peace
loving peoples can and will use it to make certain
militaristic governments keep faith.

The Peace Pact

After long delay the senate has ratified the Amer-
can treaty with fty-nne nations renouncing war as
an instrument of national policy. Those seeking i'm
mediate perfection disappointed with the result
Those who do not hope to wipe out the ancient ns-
tuition of war in day or in decade are thankful
for this hating step forward.
For it is hating step. AS friends of the treaty,
we must admit that To claim that it prevents future
wars would be as dangerous as dishonest
In its original form the treaty went long way
toward removing moral Justification for use OF force
in settling international disputes Secretary Kellogg,
in negotiations with France refused to limit it to
called offensive war. But that proposal was too adj
vanced for the other powers. 1t soon became clear
that there could be no remuneration OF war treaty
without sweeping reservations.
For some reason not yet clear, the administration,
on the eve of the national political campaign reversed
its position Kellogg interpreted the proposed treaty
in several speeches. which made in effect an official
reservation in favor of an underlined right of self
defense
On the basis of ibis American Interpretation or
reservation the foreign governments opposing the
treaty suddenly swung around to favor it. They
wrote notes rearming the selfdefenSe reservation,
and adding other reservations presenting the treaty
from interfering with their commitments under the
League of Nations covenant. the Locarno pactS and
other treueS 10 wage JOINT war ulueI CERTAIN CCu-
stances.
Great Britain went farther by announcing
new so-called British Monroe doctrine over undeIred
areas of the world
All these foreign interpretations or reservations,
except the British Monroe doctrine. accepted by
the United States before the joint signing of the
treaty text in Paris The United States neither ac-
ceped nor rejected the British Monroe doctrine, but
by ignoring it left free the hands of future American
administrations
After Secretary Kellogg had acted with foreign
governments restricting the scope of the treaty. the
senate took hold of it. Senator Borah chairman OF
the foreign relations committee, gave away more of
the pacts virtue than kellogg had done
All objections of the senate irreconcilabe group
met by Borah with the statement in effect that
the treaty would not change the traditional policies of
future acts of the United States Kellogg had not
mentioned either the american British Monroe
doctrines But Borah reed them both into the treaty
Finally an official report of the Borah committee
was presented to the senate desired by the treaty
opponents That report interpreted" the treaty as
in way affecting the self-determining right of de-
Tense. and as not affecting the Monroe doctrine or
cher traditional AmeEeap policies, and as not com
