Headline Folk

French Not to Publish
Memoirs-Society
Relieved.
BY ROBERT STRUNSKY.

TT IS always disappointing wher
some one who has volunteered I'd
tell all backs down and shuts ur

true when the revelations concern high
society. which traditionally has been
| Shrouded in an enticing cloak of mys.
terry, as often spurious as valid. Such
must have been the reaction of large
section Of the public upon reading the
announcement that Francis Ormond
French finally had decided against
publishing his memoirs.
The implication was clear that he
had been prevailed upon by powers ove1
| which he had no control to consign his
manuscript to the limbo of a dusty
attic. Who or what these powers were
was not made clear, although the name
of his Son-in-lav, John Jacob Astor,
was brought into the picture. Mr.,
French also suggested that his uncle,
Edwar Tuck OF Paris, had expressed
himself strongly on the subject. The
point is, however that, unlike those OF
Mrs Harry Lehr, Mr.. French's recol-
lections no longer are available for
printed matter.
Even II he restricted his narrative
to an autobiography. the son of Amos
Tuck French would have much to say.
His own life has been a turbulent
business ever since he got out Of Har-
ward with the class of 1912 and es-
tablished a brokerage Office of his
own. The April bull market Of 1921
I wiped him out, but, in the meantime,
he had married Eleanor Livingston
Burrill and begotten two daughters,
Virginia and Ellen, the latter now the
wife of young Mr.. AStor. Mrs French
divorced him in 1923; his means of
livelihood had stopped two years be-
fore. and. after due contemplation,
he decided to become a taxicab driver.
A pSychiatrist might find interest
in tracing the part automobiles played
in the French family. Mr.. French's
sister Julia, for example, eloped with

ably had no connection with her

The long and short of it was that
Mr.. French became a cab driver, es-

of Taxicab Chauffeurs, and lent the
full force of his name and social
prestige to the organizat ton when it
went on strike, attending mass meet

"I want to be sure that MasSachu-

threatening calamity of six more years

Neither President Roosevelt nor

CUTTEN'S MILLIONS
SINK TO $3.50 900
U. S. District Attorney Says Liens
to Be Filed for Income
Tax Claims.
Py the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, July 23.-The millions
the late Arthur w. Cutten was credited
with making on grain and security
exchanges were disclosed as having
dwindled to approximately $350,000
when his will was filed for probate
yesterday.
The will, one page in length, left
the entire estate to the famous specu-
lator's widow, Mrs. Maude Boomer
CutteE.
Attorney Dwight Green, who filed
the document, said that while no in
ventory of Cutten's holdings had yet
been made, he was certain the estate
would not exceed $3.50, 900 in value.
Cutten died June "a. For more than
decade he was regarded as the
most spectacular of Board of Trade
operators here and estimates several
years ago placed his fortune at $780,
100000.
Later he was reported TO have lost
heavily in the 1929 crash, though as
sociates had believed he had later
recouped.
United States District Attorney Mi
chael L. Igoe announced the Govern
ment would file liens aggregating more
than 100000 against the estate for
income taxes alleged to be due for
1929, 1880 and 1888.
