DEBT TALK RACES
IN MANY SECTORS
Washington, London and Paris
Take Part in international
Financial Drama

While Secretary Hull ignored the
international debts in his address to
the economic parley Wednesday, they
were major item Of discussion in Of
ficial circles at Washington, London
and Paris.
Frenchmen at the London parley
heard that President Roosevelt had
called a debt conference at Washing
ton and that Neville Chamberlain,
chancellor Of the British exchequer,
would announce the fact in the house
OF commons Wednesday night.
The French had tentatively decided
not to pay anything on the INSTALL
ment due Thursday but indicated they
might change their minds If a debt
conference were called in order to put
themselves in line for consideration.
Premier Daladier rushed from Lon
don to Paris to talk things over and
formal decision was expected late
Wednesday or Thursday. Otherwise
the French will send another note
saying they are deferring payment, as
they did last December.
The French view of the reported
debt conference is that President
Roosevelt would talk with each OF;
Americas debtors separately.
The president dispatched to London
q message, to be announced later in
the day, saying the United States will
accept the token" payment Of 10 per
cent, offered Tuesday. only with the
understanding that it Is only an in
stallment in the $79,9500OO due
and that such acceptances
In no way invalidates Americas claim
for payment of the remainder.
A report in London. after receipt Of
the message, was that it was satisfac-
tory to British ministers.
Italy has offered to pay $1,245, 438,
which is the interest due on its in !,
stallment of $l3,545 900.

Civil War Flea Is
Dead at Age of IS

Chicago. June l4.-(P)-The
FLEA" is dead.
The FLEA" was Jason H. Edger-
ly, New Highlander who furnish
ed the action for colorful bit of
Civil War history in his role as the
personal spy or field reporter"
for President Abraham Lincoln.
He died at his suburban home
in Blue Island Tuesday night at
the age of IS. The recent heat
wave that enveloped the midwest
was held partly responsible for
his death.
President Lincoln gave Edgerly
his nickname of the flea" after
he had stolen the confederate
army plans for the Willow Greek
battle from under the nose Of
General Robert E. Lee.
On one occasion Edgerly escort
ed President Lincoln on an inspec-
ton tour Of the Union defenses.
He said the president stood bold
ly on the Notifications while cam

Get down from there, Mr.. Lin

mine is to me-" Lincoln replied.
Yes, but yours is more import
ant" Edgerly answered.

SUBSTITUTE PLAN
Full Test of Pres identia |
Strength Indicated; Re-
suit Is in Doubt
PRESIDENT MAKES MOVE
Weakens Opposition Bloc in
Senate BY Agreement to
Aid Spanish War Men

Washington, June l4.-(P)-A direct
showdown between President Roose-
welt and the senate on veterans relief
was brought near a climax Wednes-
day with the formal offering in the
senate Of substitute for the revised
house administration compromise.
Accepting a perfecting amendment
by Senator Byrnes Dem. S. c. to
the house administration plan, to take
care of Spanish-American War PEN
sioners, the senate drove toward a
vote on the substitute and a full test
of presidential strength.
Senators Steiwer CRep. Ore.), and
Cutting (Rep. N. NJ, called up for
consideration their substitute, which
Is more liberal than the house pro-
posal and considered virtually certain
to be vetoed by President Roosevelt if
passed by congress.
Should the substitute be voted down
and the modified compromise be ap-
proved by the senate, the battle would
be over with victory for the chief ex-
ecutive. as Byrnes has told the SEN
ate the house would accept the COM
promise and that President Roosevelt
would sign it.
The modification to include Span
ish American veterans was looked on
as a move by the administration and
its forces to take away from the SUBJ
stitute enough votes to beat it, as
leaders previously were about ready to
concede its approval by the senate.
The change made the outcome more
doubtful, but advocates of the Gut
ting Steiwer proposal remained conf
dent they had a narrow margin of
votes to carry it.
Every consequential task of the
legislature has been completed except
settling the senates insistence that
allowances for ex-soldiers be greatly
increased.
Other tasks remaining to congress
were nominal. Final signatures had
to be affixed on the industrial re-
covery act. so the president could put
1t on the lawbooks.
expectation of quick Windup was
shown by Speaker Rainey who packed
up and went home Tuesday night.
He Left the house in charge of one of
the ablest party pilots. Bankhead of
Alabama. who has handled many
difficult situation in the past.
