Mrs. Wells secured a divorce here

establishing a residence, she met Baer
He had come to Reno for a short visit.

Hooyer-Ldrdl Conference
Hailed as Constructive
Event - Retention of
Gold Standard Agreed.

NEW YORK, october 27.-Although
the Hooyer-Laval conference has not
resulted in the putting into effect of
measures tending to solve all financial
problems facing the world at large. it
nevertheless may be hailed as a most
constructive event.
To the uninitiated it may seem some
what strange to note that within few
days it was possible to canvass "the
economic situation in the world. the
trends IN international relations bear
ing upon il, the problems OF the forth
ccming conference for limitation and
reduction OF ornaments, the effect Of
the depression on payments under in
tergovernmental debts, the Sterilization
Of international exchanges, and other
financial and economic subjects"
= While this program is doubtless s
most ambitious one, II should be re-
n,embered that the participants in the
conference possessed full grasp OF
questions which they were TO take up.
Aims Are Outlined.
Although not definitely announced. it
appears that the two executives are Of
the firm opinion that the gold standard
must be maintained ana the stability
Of exchanges preserved: that the Young
plan must not be abandoned nor modi-
fec: that ntergovernmental debts
should be re-eXsmined and conclusions
reached on the basis Of capacity to pay
rather than on the basis Of previously
reached agreements.
The reception Of the Joint statement
made b. President Hoover and the
French premier was not unfavorsble.
ana a feeling seems 10 prevail that the
way has been paved for further con-
Structive moves. and that the discus
SionS have contributed materially To-
ward the Qualification OF the general
situation.
The increase last week Of only SSl
600 600 IN the volume OF money in cir
culation. as reported by the Federal
Reserve Board. may be viewed favor
ably, as it indicates that the tendency
in the United States TO hoard currencv

NEW TREASURY FINANCING
is AN EARLY PROSPECT
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The balance of the year promises to
be period of considerable activity for
the Treasury Department. Refunding
of Short-term debt falling due at inter-
walls will take part of its time as sug-
geSted by the new offering of Sc, 900 900
9l-day bills which will provide funds
necessary to meet the $59,85o, 900 issue
maturing early next month. The bulk
of the time. however, will be spent in
oiling up the machinery to take care of
id-December fiscal operations. A total
of approximately 1000 900 900 cer.ifi-
Gates maturing at that time must be
provided for, and with revenues continu-
ing to run far under a year ago and
we'll below requirements it is likely
something in the way of substantial
new financing will be undertaken to-
ward the year end.
