DEBT PLAN TO LIFT BURDEN OFF GERMANY Allies Will Pay Bills of Army of Occupation in Rhineland, FULL ACCORD IS NEAR Conferees Expect to End Reparations Parley in Short Time, by SAMUEL DASHIELL United Press StaS Corresponded*. PARIS, May 31.—Germany will be 1 relieved of the heavy burden of ■ footing the bills for maintenance of the allied army of occupation in the Rhineland as soon as the Young plan of reparations payments has I supplanted the Dawes plan, it was j learned by the United Press today. The allies have allowed this point 1 to the Reich elegation to the eonference of reparations experts as a j special concession for accepting the annuities terms stipulated in the Owen D. Young agreement for a final settlement of the long-standing war debt, problem. The allied occupation of the Rhineland may contniue as tong as the Versailles treaty allows, which is until 1935. or may be shortened by a future conference between the allied nations and Germany. The I powers of the reparations experts to discuss such political matters as complete evacuation of the occupied territory being limited, this question must b>_ solved at a later conference. Lifts Heavy Burden Meanwhile, however, one thing is I certain —the allies, beginning Sept. 1. when the Young plan probably win become effective, will have to divide the costs of maintaining their army of occupation among themselves. This will relieve Germany of the burden oi paying nearly $400,000 a month, the approximate costs ot the 1 occupation army maintenance. Officials of the French government confirmed reports that the : allies in the future, would share the I occupation costs among themselves, but insisted that there were no | plans at present for a conference ! to discuss th problem of shortening i the occupation period. From an economic point of view, they emphasized, it is just as cheap for the governments to feed and | house their troops in the Rhineland ;as it would be in their own couni tries. Under the inspiration of Young himself, the experts today worked at high speed on the remaining | problems, and it was hoped that by this evening everything would be in i shape for a final settlment on all points. Want to Get Home All the delegations are anxious | for a speedy conclusion to the nei gotiations. The Americans want to go home. as. do the Britishers. The French wish- to clear the problem up I for economic reasons and the Germans want a complete settlement immediately so that they can take up the question of the evacuation of the Rhineland at the League of Nations meeting at Madrid, on June 10. The conference has reached a point now where even Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, head of the German delegation. has ceased his dilatory tactics and is helping to speed matters along, so that he can go home, j Practically all delegates are agreed that nothing can keep the conference from reaching an agreement. The Belgian francs settlement, with the demand by Brussels that Germany pay for the gold francs conj fiscated from Belgium during the war, is about the only matter of disagreement left and even that is | rapidly vanishing as * a serious | problem.

CHICAGO, May 31.—A1 Capone, overlord of the tough Chicago gangs. who has inspired fear in the breasts of more Chicagoans than any other man who ever lived, is afraid of his wife. Tire indomitable Scarface, at whose bidding squads of hired killers j ijriii spring into instant action, is one of the meekest, quietest husbands i in all Chicago—or he was. before he went to jail in Philadelphia. He may be king of the rum runners, boss of the underworld, head man In half a dozen rackets, and all that sort of thing—but in the neat brick house at 7244 Frairie avenue, where his family Ires, he is just a hus- | band, liable to the same sort ot wifely discipline that lesser husbands submit to.

Neighbors of the Capone family— Prairie avenue is one of the quietest. most sedate residential streets in the city—say that the Capones are orderly and retiring neighbors. Boss Is Bossed They will also tell you a. little story, illustrating the way in which the boss of gangland is himself bossed. One night, it seems. A1 Capone was out late. No one knows where he was. but evidently it was not, a business trio. So. hen h? returned 'o his house, he was in v cry. v f r bad. just like ally other husband might be. Cerone tried the front door. It was locked. He rang the bell, and presently Mrs. Capone's ,_ oice came down through the speaking tube. Capone said a few placatory words, and then sheepishly turned away. He had just been told that he could not come in his house that night. Home to Mother Tlie czar of Chicago's gangdom took the rebuke very meekly. Quietly he went around to the part of the house in which his mother lives. A! summoned her and asked her a few questions about the welfare of his 9-yearold boy, Sonny—had. he been a good boy that day. had he had a good time, had he been in good health, and so on? Then he went away to the solitary splendor of his well-guarded suite in a downtown hotel. Capone's whole life, his neighbors say, is wrapped up in his son. Sonny is a quiet, well-behaved youngster, who knows nothing about the business his father is in. He is the soft spot of hard-boiled At Capone; the one place where the toughest of the gangsters is vulnerable. Guards Boy From Gangs Capone has used every effort to guard the youngster from contact with his own world. The boy never has heard the jargon of the underworld. Very likely he would say that a racket was simply a loud noisew He knows nothing about, bootlegging. pistol battles, beer wars and the like. When Al's bodyguard comes into the house, every gunman present knows it would be almost as much as his life was worth to let young Sonny see a revolver. Mrs. May Capone, Sonny's mother and Al Capone's wife, is Irish — quiet, soft-spoken, seldom seen much by the neighbors, looking not at all the way you would expect, the wife of a. millionaire gang king to look. Both she and her husband are about 30 years old.

Washes Qwn Dishes She has a housemaid to do the general work about the house, but she is quite capable of donning an apron and digging into a. wash boiler or sink full of dishes. She wears clothes that are expensive, but not flashy; her only jewelry consists of a wedding ring and a diamond ring, worn on the same finger. Capone's- aged mother is adored by her son. She. Capone's wife, and Sonny are the trinity that Capone worships. On his Sunday visits Capone always donned an apron, rolled up his sleeves—and went to the kitchen to cook a great, steaming, savory mess of spaghetti.

KING GEORGE 1$ ILL AGAIN AT WINDSOR Nation's Fears Roused by New Attack', Despite Medical Assurances, DOCTOR COMES BY AIR One Physician at Bedside Since Sunday? Another Arrives From Paris. By United Pres LONDON. May 3! —Even overshadowing the interest- in the British genera! elections was the anxiety with which 'he n holp nation looked fedav toward Windsor, where King George lay ill in the ancient rasHe of his ancestors Although the public has been assured by an official announcement tha’ the king was confined to his bed only with an attack of fever, ar.d m spite of the assurance of medical authorities that- this new illness had no relation whatever to that from which his majesty only recently recovered, the nation was deeply shocked. The feeling of concern was accentuated by the fact that the king was stricken again just as he was preparing to offer thanksgiving for his recovery from the long illness which caused so much anxiety in Great Britain, the empire, and the whole world. Prior to this setback he had been progressing so satisfactorily that the light treatments which he had been undergoing were about to be discontinued. Doctor Comes by Plane Sir Stanley Hewitt, one of the king's physicians, has been by his royal patient’s bedside since the new illness came upon him, probably Sunday. Lord Dawson of Fenn, who also had been with the king throughout his last illness, was summoned hastily from Paris. He arrived in London by airplane and was understood to have gone to Windsor as soon as he landed at Croydon. The theory here was that the king caught his cold Sunday while attending a picnic in celebration of Queen Mary's sixty-second birthday. The party was made up of the royal family, including the king’s three grandchildren. They took tea in the open air. Although the day was brilliant and fine and warm, there was a chilly breeze, which might have caused the convalescing king to catch cold. It war understood that his majesty took to his bed Sunday, but that, the news of it was withheld for reasons of state, in veiw of the then-impending general elections. Hope for Speedy Recovery But in spite of the present setback th: hope was expressed that the king would be able to attend the thanksgiving service a.t, Westminster abbey on June 16. At the abbey it was announced that there have been no changes in the plans for the ceremony. A prominent London physician was of the opinion today that the king's illness had no relation to that from which he had been convalescing. ‘‘lt is a mere chill, which anyone is liable to-catch,” he said. The medical expert of the London Daily News, however, was more pessimistic, saying that his illness necessarily caused great anxiety, when it is recalled that these symptoms ushered in the king's last illness. from which he just had recovered. But he added that this time there was no question of the blood being affected. News of the king's latest illness spread through the election crowds like wildfire and cast a shadow over the excitement of the general elections. There seemed to be a noteworthy resemblance in this announcement to that which made public for the first time the king’s other illness.
