HAUPTMANN
PLANNED TO
QUIT WIFE

NEW YORK, Dec. II GN.SO
A year and a half after the
kidnapping and murder Of the
baby son Of Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh, Bruno Richard Haupt'
mann contemplated deserting his
wife and fleeing to Europe by
way Of Mexico.
This was revealed by The
Evening Journal today in another
copyrighted story based on
hitherto unpublished testimony
made to the authorities shortly
after Hauptmann's arrest.
It was to Howard Bierman, a
friend. that Hauptmann un'
burdened himself, The Journal
says. They met in a brokerage
office. Bierman made the follow
ing statement to New York
police:
"In the fall Of 1888 Mr.,
Hauptmann and used to spend
. great deal Of time together in
the brokerage office on Seventy
second Street.
WIFE A pest"
"Once we were talking about
home life and 1 explained that
I am q bachelor. Mr.. Haupt-
mann said, 81 wish 1 was. My
wife Is . pest. She thinks
money grows on trees. It's
funny q German girl should act
like that"
Il was very surprised. We
always thought he was making
good money except that he was
Stingy in many respects.
We were sitting in easy chairs
one day and 1 was telling him 1
might make another trip to
Europe IL the market broke
right. He said he had often
thought Of that. He would not

would probably settle down in
Australia or Hungary, where
there are many German-speak-
ing people.
Gas soon as he cleaned up his
financial affairs and converted
all his property to cash, he said
he might take . tour Of this
country, and asked me whether
q person could sail from Mexico
to Austria.
II asked him why he should
want to sail from there, first
telling him / did not know
whether European boats touched
Mexico. He explained that he
had always been fond Of taking
trips and this would be . fine
chance.
WOULD LEAVE WIFE
"He said he didn't think his
wife would want to make this
trip. Anyway, he was sick and
tired Of being chained down and
probably wouldn't take her
along"
When Hauptmann was ques
toned about this statement he
said that all he wanted to do was
visit his mother in Germany. But
he could not visit there because
he was a fugitive from Germany

SOVIET PLANS
T0PAY DEBTS
international News Service


Soviet Russia will not free itself
from the penalties of the johnson
act. closing the money markets Of
the United States to debt-default-
ing nations, by settling some OF
its debts to New York bankers, 1t
was stated emphatically in high
State Department quarters.
This reaction followed New York
reports that Ivan BoyeSS, Soviet
business official in the United
States, had sailed for Moscow
with a plan for settlement of some
major debts and claims held by
the National City Bank Of New
York and it's clientele.
To Pay S6 Millions

called for settlement of loans and
credits of the Czarist regime to
falling SO million dollars, arranged
nv the National City Bank, as well
as settlement Of claims Of the
same financial institution grow
ing out of the seizure in 1917 OF
its branch in Petrograd.
The reports referred to the S6
million dollars as representing
the so-called Kerensky debt, but
officials pointed out this was er'
roneous. The KerenSky debt In
volved a 187-million dollar loan by
this Government to the short
lived Kerensky revolutionary re
gime.
No ARRANGEMENT has been made
for the settlement of this debt
since the breakdown of the debt
negotiations with the Soviet gov
eminent last January.
Would Float Bonds
The proposed plan for settle
ment of the 86-million-dollal
banking debt envisaged the isSu
ance of Soviet government bonds
to the holders Of the old CZarls1
notes.
Although the Soviet govern
ment is forbidden to float new
bond issues in this country under
the johnson act, it would b(
permitted to renew the indebted
ness Of the CzariSt government
by issuing Soviet bonds to present
holders Of the old ones. Report
that the State Department hac
made diplomatic arrangement!
for such a settlement were flatlJ
denied. ....

Nine Points Distinguish New Fashions
CREATIONS FOLLOW
 IDENTICAL TRENDS
By ROSETTE HARGROVE (NEA Service Stan COrrcspOndcntI

pARIS-Now that the prospects of fash ions for fall have been revealed, it is interesting to note the characteristics the collections seem to have in common. Un- doubtedly, it is matter of identical infiu- ences occurring at the same time, but, con- sidering the secrecy with which these collections are surrounded before they shown, the sim ilarity never fails to astonish the observer.
 The 1935-36 styles could like any self-respect- ing past be summed up in nine points which would read something like this:
 CD General silhouette remains slim and straight with trimmings concentrated bodice and sleeves.
 CD Shoulders are broadened, achieved by build ing them out at right angles to the arm, sleeves are Duffed to give impression of width
 (3) The general waistline hovers between the slightly higher and slightly lower mark, but the normal line prevails --~r
 Hin Lines Slim
 (4) Hips remain slim ever, despite bustles, extra skirt fitness, draperies and
 (5) The evening line, whether -Greciarv Egyp- tian, Edwardan, just simply modern shows a decidedly reduced fitness, with strong tendency to stress the vertical. therefore slender line. by means of draperics t
 (6) Full-length coats wrap around adequately. The majority belted, with straight slightly circular skirts. Shorter coats usually three quarters little longer and very full, usually at the back but sometimes at the front, too.
 CD Fur collars not voluminous, but they nevertheless provide a becoming frame to the face in contrast to last winters low neckline.
 (S) Trimmings are important, with embroidery the star feature, and braiding and cording used in 8 moderR manner.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY FENTREss

Paris (UP)-Some of the most wearable frocks found in any Paris collection were seen at the Mar jorie Dunton opening. This is new house which has catered to private clients but until this year has never given showings for the press and American and foreign buyers.
 Marjorie Dunton Is an American who has lived here for some time and has incorporated in her clothes the best features of both American and Partisan fashions.
 Her sports clothes are partic- ularly interesting with variety of woolen materials in soft au- tumn shades. Outstanding Is | dress of rust colored wool with a yoke of beige wool applied in double V design back and front. This motive is repeated in the small turn over collar which trims the high neck. The dress has pockets formed by double tucks, and there is a row of but tons running up the back.
 She shows an ensemble in a plaid of two shades of green and a burgundy red which has a plain skirt worn with a blouse of soft kidskin in the flighter shade of green. A huted ruffle lines the front opening and edges the collar and cuffs, and the kidskin is crushed at the waist to form a girdle which

Mrs. Wilson sat looking at the sea. She was alone because she was on a rest cure, but oh, how sooth- ing it was, the friendly sea, to which she could talk and not have to listen to an answer.
 She marshalled the facts that had tumbled out of the blue in the past week. They were these. She was tired and i'll; the doctor said she would have to have q change; there was little money. All the surplus they had was to be spent on Burk's M. A. course so he could teach. It had been hard getting Burk through college. | and now 1t seemed he needed more letters" to get him school. But when Jerry, her husband, heard what the doctor had to say, he went off and bought her a tick board at the little resort for a month. Bprk had been pretty si- lent. He had not said anything, but she could not forget his blank look when he heard the news. Unexpected Tidings In her hand now, huttered night letter. She had read 1t over fifty times, but still she clung to it as one would hold snake that would strike if released, .Burk was married. He had brought his young wife home and that was all there was to it. She was eighteen. did not know a thing about house. work, and they had no money. Jerry would be frantic. She could picture the place with her away and Jerry making scenes.
 Her heart fiuttered and she held her side. It was all her fault. If she had taken a stand and refused to leave it would not have happened. What did Burk mean? He hadn't said anything about a girl; she hadn't known he was in love. He never told her anything about his affairs, but she put that down to his being sensitive and shy, although his father had an- other name for it.
 Marriage For Spite And without word to, her, her boy had done this. He knew it would bring her home, too, at I once. The telegram almost seem ed to say, "Well, you shelved me this time, so I'll show you" No she shrank from the thought; it wasn't true - Burk couldn't be like that.
 In her heart she knew 1t was the truth. The boy had lost sight of everything but himself. Grati- tude? She had supposed all chil- dren partially grateful for what their parents did. But the scales had fallen. Parents meant noth- ing to children nowadays. Only a source of supply. And it had been her fault. They would be expecting her now by next train. Suddenly she sat up and threw the telegram through the rail. She walked down to the office and sent this message, Congratulate Burk. but tell him he is stronger, than am. Will not come home. Rent the house furnished if you can and join me here. Burk can sup port Mary if he takes that job at Meyers" When Burk got the word he exclaimed, "She couldn't take it, eh? My own mother. Come on, Mary, we'll get out and stay out if we starve. I thought she was my friend. We'll, this ends it.

A LUMP IN THE BREAST

One foolish notion about Jumps in the breast Is that they may be massaged away or caused to disap- pear by rubbing in various medica- ments. While the majority of such Jumps are not of serious nature, occasionally they are the beginning of dangerous growths. If the lump happens to be malignant, cancer Ous, then rubbing or squeezing may break down the delicate wall that nature is trying to build up around the primary cancer cells to prevent spreading of the growth. Massage forces some of the cells into the lymphatic or drainage channels and through these channels they spread to other parts of the body. The competent physician is partic- ularly careful in examining such Jumps to avoid this very possibil- ity. .r
 Another popular notion which Is dangerous is that such lump in the breast is not cancer unless 1t is painful. The truth is rather the contrary. That is, if a lump is painful at the beginning, the chances are 1t is benign in charac- ter and will require no treatment. But lump which is discovered &C., cidentally and is not painful is more likely to prove the beginning of cancer. Too often doctors here this tragic exclamation: Why, Doctor, l didn't think 1t could be serious, because 1t has never given me the slightest nainin
 A lump in the breast which is freely movable is less likely to be cancerous than one which seems fixed or attached to skin, gland or rib.

1. The poor and oppressed never organize any movement for their own betterment because they are too weak and distraught to do so. Such movements always come from the middle and upper classes who have the freedom, money and education to uplift those less privileged. This is the supreme ob- ligation laid upon them by their very privileges and education. Practically all the women who started the "woman's movement" were from the more privileged classes.

CHAPTER VIII


 Afterward when She lay com fortable and warm in the great bed, pausing on the verge of sleep to plan how she would slip away In the early morning, she felt 9 stab of regret to think she had deceived a half-blind old woman who had been made glad of her coming.
 Ruth did not realize her own exhausted condition. When she sank into a deep, dreamless sleep 1t was not to waken at day break, as she had planned, but in re- bponse to knock on her door hours later.
 Sitting up in consternation, she cried, Come in!" and there en- tered the old woman with the bent back and peering eyes.
 "Oh" cried Ruth. "I meant" She stopped abruptly, for. of course she could not say, "I meant to run away before you caught mel"
 "I was worried about you, Miss Elaine. Are you feeling better And. will you take your breakfast now?"
 Ruth thought, Now I'm in it up to my neck." Yet lifting happiness mingled with her dis may. She would have to spend another day here and another night! In this situation there were blended three elements that cheer ed her; adventure, a little respite from her wanderings, and (most important of alD the chance of seeing once more the young man named John.
 "Oh, Lawsy mel" exclaimed the old woman. Are you too sick to talk, Miss Elaine?' She came to the bed and put her hand on the girls forehead. Where do you hurt most?"
 Ruth laughed. q don't hurt at all, Penny, and Pm not sick. Just tired and stiff and short of jubbled in the head. I was so surprised to find myself here that I couldn't answer you" -... ,,.
 Penny said, 'when your letter came Tuesday, sayin' you were coming to the old house for a rest : didn't think you'd be followin' it so soon. I thought you said you'd be here in couple of weeks. My eyes are terrible bad. I reckon l read it wrong"
 Don't you ever wear glasses, Penny" asked Ruth scoldingly.
 "They don't help, Miss Elaine. think it's cataract. I'll end up by bein' stone blind, I'm afraid"
 "Oh," said Ruth, Pm sorry" She impulisevly took the old wo- mans hand and held it for mo- ment against her cheek. Here was another human being with troubles as deep as her own, and without the hope of youth to help her bear them. Poor Penny" she murmured.
 Not that I can't see to take care of the house!" the old woman declared hastily.
 "Oh, no!' agreed Ruth. Did you say breakfast. Penny?"
 "Yes, Miss Elaine. There're plenty of fresh eggs. I still keep

 "Pd like couple of your white leghorn eggs, Penny" Ruth said with enthusiasm, "and a cup of i coffee. Some toast, too, if it's not too much trouble"
 Its not" Penny said. You've changed a lot, Miss Elaine. You never used to think whether a thing was trouble or not" She went out, shaking her head in won- der.
 After breakfast the girl amazed the old servant yet further by making her own bed and tidying her room. q don't want to cause you any extra work" Ruth ex- plained. You've enough to do as ] it is."
 T can manage the work fine" the old woman declared posi- lively. "I hope you'll tell your mother and stepfather that, if you get a chance. I don't want to be pensioned off, not till 1 drop in my tracks"
 Ruth saw that the old creature had horror of giving up her place. She longed to reassure her yet she felt that such deception would be cruel in the end. As. she | thought of the old woman's troubles, her own schemes took second place. The impulse came to tell Penny, then and there, that she was not entertaining "Elaine, , but just a tramp girl who bod wandered in for shelter.
 Penny. "she said, "I've some thing to tell you. I'm not"
 There came a gnocking at the front door and Penny said, Tell me later, Miss Elaine. It's young John McNeill come to ask about you. He carried you upstairs when you fainted last night. He was worried"
 She went hobbling down the stairs to open the door, while the knocking continued, with some impatience.
 Presently Penny called, Will you come down, Miss Elaine?''
