SZECHENY| GIRL
WILL WE'D D. c.
REALTY MAN
Countess CorneIia'S Troth to
Eugene Roberts Made
Public in London

An American husband and
plain Mrs" in front of her name
is the choice of the Countess Cor
nelia Szechenyi, eldest Of the four
daughters of the former Hunga-
rian minister to the United States,
Count Laszlo Szechenyi, whose
engagement to Eugene Roberts,
Washington real estate man, is
announced today.
The announcement was made in
London, where Count Szechenyi
was recently transferred by his
government.
That the countess Is to take
an American husband does not
surprise her friends. She is half
American herself, her mother
having been Gladys Vanderbilt,
and she is known to like America
and American ways.
Decided Long Ago
Most Of her life has been spent
In Washington, where her father
was Hungarian minister for many
years. At the time Of the mar
riage Of her sister, Countess Alice
Szechenyi. to Count Bella Hadik,
several years ago, Cornelia is
said to have declared she herself
would prefer marrying an Ameri-
can.
The medieval splendor of her
sisters wedding, with bridegroom
and best man in ancient Hun
garian costume, jeweled swords
and ornaments, had no effect
upon her decision.
Her bridegroom-to Eugene
Roberts, is the scion, on his
mothers side, of an old Maryland
family. Mrs. Eugene Roberts,
ST., was before her marriage Miss
Annette Carter Bowie. Her
father, Oden Bowie, was at one
time governor of the Free State.
Her nephew, Clarence Roberts,
is married to a sister of Lord
Fairfax.
Kites In London
The Countess Cornelia is
member of the Vanderbilt clan.
Her mother is the daughter of
the dowager Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt.
The wedding, it is understood,
will take place in London in the
near future.

He added:
"There is not a topic on the
agenda that does not relate to
the welfare Of every people OF
the world.
Even putting on the most
selfish construction possible,
there would still be an impell-
ing motive for everyone to go
home and carry out the agree

BANKRUPT BILL
MEETS DOOM
IN SENATE
Measure Apparently Is Dead
As Move to Call 1t Up
Is Voted Down

Without a record vote, the Sem
ate today rejected a motion by
Senator Vandenberg (R0 Of
Michigan to bring the House
Municipal Bankruptcy bill up for
consideration.
Vandenberg moved to discharge
the Senate Judiciary Committee
from further consideration Of the
bill.
Defeat of this proposal appar-
emily means the death of the
bill for the special session.
Short Cut For Cities
The measure offered a short
cut for reorganization Of corpora
tions through Federal courts and
a method Of adjusting debts for
city and other State divisions.
Administration research experts
have found that $600,000 600 Of
Corporation obligations are ma
turing in 1893. OF this amount
$303, ,949, 900 are public utility
bonds and $2ss, 498, 900 are in
dustrial issues.
Senator Vandenberg said:
"ThiS bill addresses itself to
q critical situation. Many Of.
the large cities will not know
which way to turn If this meas
ure fails to become law.
1000 CITIES IN DEFAULT
more than 1000 municipali-
ties in Al States are in default
ON their obligations, including a
number Of major municipaIi-
ties"
Among the cities Vandenberg
mentioned as being in default
were Mobile, Ala; Flint and De-
troit, Mich; Akron, Cleveland and
Toledo, Ohio, and Charleston,
s. C.
He predicted that before the end
OF the summer Chicago and other
metropolitan centers would be in
financial hot water.

MERGER
D. K. ASSURED

Continued from Page y
husks" of his amendment to pre-.
vent price-fixing under the fair
trade agreements between in.
dustrial units.
Making common cause with
these two influential progressives,
Senator Clark (D) of Missouri
demanded reinstatement of his
amendment to tax all bonds
issued by the Federal Govern
ment, the States, and their politi.
cal subdivisions. This amend
ment was knocked out at the
urgent plea of Secretary Of the
Treasury Woodin.
Senate passage of the $3,459,.
100000 deficiency appropriation
bill was held up temporarily, the
insurgents using this measure as
a buffer against adjournment.
A conference committee met
to draft a report on the inde-
pendent offices appropriation bill,
carrying funds for veterans pay
ments. The Roosevelt compro-
mise plan to reinstate 100000
600 of the more than $400, ,0O0, 900
of slashes proposed by the budget
director won on a test vote in
the House, when the bill was
sent to conference. A fight on
this plan loomed in the Senate.
Revive Bank Bill
Senate and House confereeS on
the Glass -Steagall banking reform
bill met today in final effort to
agree on the controversial emer-
gency deposit guarantee provision.
Insurgents in both Houses de-
manded that the bank bill with an
emergency guarantee of deposits
up to $2,500 be finally enacted be-
fore the end of the special session.
Members of the House circulated
a petition promising to oppose ad-
journment until the bank bill is
passed. Their stand is contingent
on whether the leaders of the con-
fereeS advise such action. The
petition had 125 signatures.
1--WE will have a banking bill
before we adjourn"
Representative Steagall (D.) of
Alabama made this prediction
after he and Representative Colds
borough CD of Maryland had
seen President Roosevelt in behalf
of the conferees on the Glass
Steagall banking bill.
Goldsborough said the conferees
were to have a final meeting as
soon as they returned to the Capt.
tol and expressed confidence that
an agreement would be reached
today.
Steagall said it was his opinion
Congress would be able to adjourn
in three days if not sooner.

DOLLAR STAGES
. RALLY ABROAD

LONDON, June IL 0.N.sO-
The American dollar rallied in
late trading today and closed at
$4.14A to the pound sterling
after touching as low as $4.2O at
one time during the day, the low
est point it has reached since
Great Britain went off the gold
standard.
Various rumors circulated as to
the reasons behind today's slump
which came on the opening day
of the world economic conference
at which the United States is
aiming at monetary stabilization.
French sources argued that
America is now holding up an
agreement on monetary stabiliza-
ton by insisting that the dollar
should be allowed to decline if
prices decline and should not be
stabilized with respect to the
pound or French franc until
world prices are stabilized,

Is This a Good Way
To Do Business?

A gentleman rented a farm,
and contracted to give to his
landlord % of the crop pro-
duced; but prior to the time
of dividing the corn, the ten
ant used As bushels. When the
general division was made, it
was proposed to give to the
landlord 18 bushels from the
heap, in lieu Of his share of
the IS bushels which the
tenant had used, and then
begin and divide the remain
der as though none had been
used.
How about it. If you were
the landlord, would you &C.
cept this form Of settlement?

tween this and the 1aSC confer"
ence King George opened in per-
son. It was in 1880 that he made
his first appearance at an inter-
national conclave, inaugurating
the London naval conference.
Greeted by Macdonald
That meeting, coming at a time
when financial problems were
only beginning to grip the atten-
tion of the world, was held in
the garish, damask-hung royal
gallery of the House of Lords.
Today's was in the austere,
somber hall of a museum that in
the future will hold specimens
delineating the geological and
archaeological progress OF the
world.
King George was greeted on his
arrival by Prime Minister Mac
Donald, who was waiting at the
canopied entrance to the museum
when the monarch drove up in a
royal limousine with three at
tendantS.
The premier and the King
shook hands, and Macdonald
Immediately conducted the mon
arch to the daiS. Delegates and
correspondents rose and King
George launched into his speech
without a moments delay.
Repeated in French
For the benefit of many dele
gates who do not understand
English, King George utilized his
wide knowledge of foreign
tongues by reading part Of his
address in French, the diplomatic
language. An interpreter repeated
the whole speech in French when
he had finished.
Persons gathered in the streets
outside the museum heard the
speech by means Of the radio
and frequently interrupted him
by bursts of cheering.
After finishing his address,
King George left Immediately
and motored back to Windsor
Castle.
Macdonald Speaks
In his capacity as chairman of
the conference, Macdonald then
made his opening speech.
It was a typical Macdonald
address, filled with flowing
phrases and delivered with great
earnestness and feeling. He be-
gan by welcoming the delegates
and then plunged Immediately
into business. He said:
"There is greater authority
gathered in this hall today
than perhaps was ever brought
under one roof in the worlds
history.
"The economic life Of the
world for years has been suffer
ing from a decline which has
closed factories, limited employ
ment, reduced the standard Of
living and brought some States
to the verge of bankruptcy"
HITS ISOLATION
'Tf the world is left to right
itself without international
effort and agreement, how long
is the recovery to be?
'NO one who has surveyed
the facts and watched their
progress for the last few years
can doubt that a purely ma
tiOnal economic policy in this
modern world is one which by

'NO nation can permanently
enrich itself at the expense Of
others. Mutual enrichment is a
condition Of individual enrich
ment."
