IcV\ , Bride */ KATHARINE HrWILAND TAYLOR CHAPTER ONE gA RRETT COLVIN, bronzed by sun - baked miles of sand, sat forward so that he mitfht see the windows of Fifth Avenue. It was a bit earlier than mid - afternoon but many windows were warm with the yellow tflow that is a glare by night. The skies were sullenly low and there was a drizzle in the chilly air. The English, Barrett reflected, would call it “a dirty day.” To the average New Yorker, it was ‘‘rotten wea--Iher.” Those folks upon whom he recently had turned his broad back would call it ‘‘the will of Allah.” Well, the faith of the East was the most comfortable, but Barrett didn’t share it. He moved uneasily and lit a cigaret. it was always unsatisfactory to rome back. Memories that seared his mind would leap from embers. A corner of an uptown street or an old building would brush away the years to make him see Marcia, his tempestuous little sister, the daughter of his father’s second wife. Marcia, violent in her trap. Marcie crying, ''Barry, you must help me; I've no one eise!” He had intended to help her. but with the passing of years he had been less and less certain about what he had done by putting himself between her and the storm. He had made it easy, without meaning to, for her to evade her responsibility and to live a lie. And now Marcia was married. She had written Barrett. “Os course Dick doesn’t know'.’’ And here, from her evasion, was another problem and one of the oldest ones—a problem discussed often in “Advice to the Lovelorn” columns in answers to letters usually beginning, “Shall I tell the man I am going to marry, etc.” Almost always the description of the unfortunate affair ended with a wistful, “I was so young.” a a a Barrett colvin tossed his half-smoked cigaret from the lowered taxicab window’ to lean back, already wearied of civilization which always is not so ordered as it seems. He hoped Dick Radnor deserved the devotion he had won from Marcia. The facts so easily might come out in time. Barrett reflected, and unless Dick ( were the man Marcia thought him to be there would be the devil to pay. He must go up to see the boy, Marcia's boy, Barrett decided, as soon as he could manage to get away from town. Marcia did not care for him as she should, and it wasn’t fair to the youngster. He must have grown a good deal, Barrett reflected. It was four years—a broad four years—since he had seen the child w'hom Marcia had implored him to “adopt” and whom he had adopted. Barrett Colvin felt a little tingle when the taxicab turned into a sedate old street where brown-stone-fronted houses told of other times and other manners. This was getting home. No matter how far one wandered or how insistent the call of distant countries, for every man someone house or someone woman meant “home.” a a a THE door was opened as the taxicab came to a sudden halt. Higgins, the butler, appeared, obviously excited to have “Mr. Barrett” home again. The chauffeur swung several scarred, bulging bags from the car to the walk. Higgins’ eyes were fixed upon his master, his voice almost tremulous. In a window across the street. Barrett saw' the imperious head of Miss Ella Sexton, saw' her nod stiffly and w’ave a handkerchief so blackbordered as to suggest a death of yesterday. Barrett, after bowing deeply, went up the brown stone steps of his home. So little was changed. The glimpse of Miss Ella, the characteristic tilt of her aristocratic nose, told him that she still ruled sternly and coldly over all those who w r aited her death. nan AT the door, which Higgins held open. Barrett turned again, and as he did so saw a girl hurrying up the steps of Miss Ella’s house. A pretty picture she made with her young grace and energy. “One of the Thropes?” he asked Higgins. “No, Mr. Barrett. That is Miss Elinor Stafford. She’s grown a deal these four years, sir.” Barrett nodded. His smile widened. He remembered Elmor Stafford dimly as a gawky youngster with a brace on her teeth, a youngster with an especial talent for stumbling. He had met her at Miss Ella's house—the golden shrine for all those relatives who felt they should be remembered in the Sexton will. “It's good to be here again. Higgins.” "And it’s good to have you, sir!” Barrett saw that Higgins eyes held tears and he laid a strong hand on the old man's arm. With a gentleness that, combined with his strength, beckoned too many weak mortals his way, Barrett asked. “I hope you've been well. Higgins?” ana Mr. Barrett. Now r.nd x again a bit lon;ly—not that I mean to complain, sir! I think (Turn to Page Eleven)

WAR DEBTS IN FOREFRONT AT TRADEPARLEY Question Must Be Settled Before World Recovers, MacDonald Insists. PLEA VOICED BY KING Friendly Collaboration to Decide Problems Urged by George V. BY HARRY FLORY United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, June 12.—War debts must be settled before the world can find the road to recovery, Prime Minister J. Ramsay MacDonald told representatives of sixty-six nations today at the opening of the world economic conference. The great gathering of world statesmen, assembled to discuss ways of solving the grave economic crisis by mutual agreement, heard an earnest plea by King George V for friendly collaboration. Then they were addressed by MacDonald, and were stirred by his bitter attack on war debts as of prime importance, even though they can not be settled by the conference. Determined on Settlement MacDonald insisted the debt must be dealt with urgently as a continuation of the peace policies of Lausanne, w r hen reparations were discontinued, “settling them once and for all in the lignt of present world conditions.” The prime minister did not clarify the confusion over the debt payments due Thursday, but showed clearly that Britain is determined to seek an early and final settlement. The delegates warmly applauded the speech, although they did not interrupt when he mentioned war debts. After he had finished, the speech was translated into French. The king spoke in both French and English. Importance was attached to the fact that MacDonald stressed that debts can not be discussed within the conference, but hinted at the possibility of corridor talks. Sequel to Lausanne This conference, he said, is a sequel to the Lausanne conference of 1932, “w'hen, by conditional agreement on how to deal with war debts and reparations, Europe was saved from immediate financial collapse.” “It will be remembered,” he added, “that having finished its immediate work, the Lausanne conference recorded that for the clearance of the world crisis, a wider conference should be called. “One of the causes of the later phases of the crisis is the fact that nations, left to pursue a policy of national protection, have been driven to resort to measures which, while affording temporary relief from threatening pressure, add to the general stagnation of world trade and intensify the influences which increase our troubles.” “If the w'orld is left to right itself without international effort and international agreement,” MacDonald asked, “how long is the process of recovery to be?

Appeals for Action “How dark are the depths of misery and unsettlement w’hich have still to be gone through? No nation permanently can enrich itself at the expense of others. Mutual enrichment is a condition of individual enrichment.” Appealing to the delegates for action. MacDonald said: “Before we disperse, let us see that w r e have revived hope, energy, and opportunity. For these the world w’aits. It is our duty to provide them.” On MacDonald's motion, the plenary session of the conference formed a credentials committee of three members, after which the session recessed briefly to enable the committee to prepare a report. United States delegates showed no reaction to MacDonald's remarks on debts. Ready to Act on Tariff BY’ JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Press Financial Editor LONDON, June 12.—The United States is prepared to consider any method to reduce tariff barriers, Secretary of State Cordell Hull, head of the American delegation to tthe world economic conference, said today in his final pre-conference meeting with the press. Hull said there were four methods to attack tariff barriers: First, a general revision; second, agreement for a small, horizontal reduction as a preliminary step to general revision; third, regional reductions; fourth, bilateral bargaining. “I favor any or all of these methods,” Hull said. “The United States delegation is ready to go forward with its share of the conference work with such reasonable hopes as ordinarily would characterize a movement of this magnitude.” Hull declared. Hull had received the report of George L. Harrison, governor of the New York Federal Reserve bank, on conferences with officials of the Bank of England and the Bank of France. It was understood the heads of the three most important of the world's central banks discussed establishment of a joint equalization fund to maintain the stability of the dollar, pound and franc. Considerable progress was understood to have been made toward a stabilization agreement.

Peak of Peaks! Wet Millennium Reached! Beer Sold on Sunday in State Park.

A RID Indiana, w’hich six months ago boasted the most rigid prohibition law north of the Mason-Dixon line, has reached a moist millennium. Beer went on sale at Dunes state park Sunday. Rescinding the Wright “bone dry” law and voting two to one to repeal the eighteenth amendment appeared almost impossible in Indiana not more than a year ago. But the wets never expected to live to quaff beer in the state parks. Nevertheless, Paul Fry, state excise director, issued a beer permit to Joseph Strack, operator of the Duneside hotel and pavilion. A cargo of case brew' arrived Sunday morning and was on tap for the more then 4,500 park visitors.

‘F. R.’ REVIEWS DEBT SITUATION

President Goes Over New Developments; Keeps Own Counsel. BY' FREDERICK A. STORM United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 12.—President Roosevelt today reviewed the latest developments in the war debt situation as the time rapidly approached for settlement of the June installments by a dozen or more nations. Meeting with Raymond Moley, assistant secretary of state and chief economic adviser, and Undersecretary of State Phillips, the President brought himself up to date on a situation that still left wide room for specualtion, especially concerning action of Great Britain and France in regard to payment. While both Moley and Phillips were reluctant to discuss the debt situation, it was felt in some well informed quarters that they talked to the President concerning informal gestures believed to have been made by several of the debtor nations over the week-end. It was believed that a further move toward acceptance of a partial payment on the approximate $75,000,000 installment would be made by Great Britain Tuesday at the conclusion of the cabinet meeting in London which is scheduled to take up the payment at that time. Meanwhile, it was insisted by close friends of the administration that the President was standing pat on the oft-repeated assertion that payment was expected.

HUGE HIGHWAY PROJECT WILL HELPJOBLESS Widening of Major Roads Out of City for Triple-Line Traffic Planned. BRIDGE TO BE BUILT Thirty-Eighth Street Span Over Fall Creek Part of Ambitious Program. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer Widening of all major highways out of Indianapolis for triple-lane traffic and construction of anew bridge and overhead on Thirtyeighth street at Fall creek, is planned by the state highway commission. Chairman James D. Adams announced today that this will provide jobs for hundreds of unemployed laborers in the city and be financed entirely from federal funds. It w’ill be Indianapolis’ share of the $10,000,000 highway construc-tion-unemployment relief program of the federal government, to be handled by the state commission, he explained. Surveys Are Orderly The Thirty-eighth street bridge will be built east of the state fairground, straightening and widening the street and providing an overhead grade separation for both interurban and railroad tracks, Adams asserted. Surveys have been ordered for 30foot road widening on U. S. Highways 52, 67, 36, and 40 out of Indianapolis, he said. Present plan is to widen the National road across the entire state. U. S. Road 52 will be widened and straightened from Indianapolis to Lebanon and 67 from Indianapolis to Anderson. Wider Roads Needed Traffic surveys have shown that the wider roads and right-of-ways are needed on all main roads near Indianapolis, Adams declared. There were twenty-eight traffic deaths within Marion county, outside the city limits, on these highW’ays last year, the survey shows. The widening plan represents an investment in safety as well as an economic need of adequate transportation facilities, Adams said. It also fits the state and naational governmental programs for unemployment relief through jobs and wages, he pointed out.

Nine Die in Blazing Ruin of Plane at World Fair Sightseeing Craft Crashes and Passengers and Pilots Are Trapped in Flaming Wreckage.

By United Press CHICAGO. June 12.—A gay party of world's fair pleasure-seekers was burned to death late Sunday in an airplane crash so devastating that even the number of victims and the identity of some remained uncertain today. Charred bodies of nine victims, including the pilot and his mechanic, were removed from the twisted wreckage of a Sikorsky amphibian which plunged to the ground at Glenview, a suburb thirty miles from Chicago. Owners of the plane, which was fighting toward an airport, after being crippled in an attempted landing at the world’s fair harbor, believed a tenth victim, possibly a woman, was aboard.

Six victims wre identified. They were: Carl V. Vickery. Chicago, pilot. Harry Jacobs, Wheeling, W. Va., mechanic. Edward Schaller, 22, Storm Lake, la. J. T. Robinson, 21, New York. His parents w’ere believed to live at the Hotel Ansonia, New York. Edward M. Fay, Chicago. Miss Stephanie Ogoree, 20, Chicago. Son of Bank Director Robinson was the son of Joseph G. Robinson, New York City, an official of the Travelers’ Life Insurance Company. Schaller was the son of George J. Schaller, director of the Federal Reserve bank of Chicago. One of the other victims was a woman. She tentatively was identified as Mrs. Ida Goodwin, 47, formerly of Missoula, Mont., a dietitian in a private school on Long island. The Robinson family came from New York to attend graduation of another son from Culver last week. Belief that Mrs. Goodwin was one of the victims grew this morning. A bank key found on the body bore her name. Authorities were notified by bank authorities in Missoula that the key had been issued to Mrs. Goodwin. Mrs. Goodw’in, who was registered at the Stevens hotel, had not returned to her room this morning since she left to go to the fair Sunday. Pilots in Control Room Vickery, a veteran army flier, and Jacobs, an experienced mechanic, were found in the control room. Schaller and Robinson were identified by the latter’s father. All the victims, trapped in the cabin of the ship when it plunged from a height of 150 feet, were burned beyond recognition. Schaller’s identification was established by a Culver class ring. Identification of the other victims, officials feared, may not be completed for days. They were among the thousands of week-end visitors (Turn to Page Two)

SENATE ROUTS BILL TO DELAY SESSION ED Administration Forces Vote Down Effort to Defer Adjournment. MAY FINISH TONIGHT Three Major Items Remain for Decision Before Congress Quits. By United Press WASHINGTON. June 12.—Administration forces drove toward an early adjournment of congress by defeating two attempts today to delay conclusion of the session by consideration of measures not on the administration program. Senate Democrats, with a bellowing “no” that jarred the chamber, shouted down a motion by Senator Vandenberg (Rep., Mich.), to bring to the senate for consideration a bill to relieve bankrupt cities. The house ways and means committee voted to delay consideration of the Lea wine legalization bill until the regular session of congress next January. Vote on the Vandenburg motion buries the bill in committee and avoids the delay which would have resulted from floor consideration. Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson begged the senate not to bring the bill out “in the closing hours of the session.”

May Quit Tonight He predicted that passage of the bill would involve the government in the financing of city and state governments. Opinion of congressional leaders regarding a probable time for adjournment was divided. Speaker of the House Henry T. Rainey predicted that congress could adjourn “some time tonight,” but other leaders said they believed adjournment would be delayed until Tuesday and perhaps later. Three major measures still await senate approval just where they were Saturday, when progressive Republican rebels smashed adjournment plans with a threat of filibuster which still echoes over Capitol Hill. All the bills are vital. The administration is firm in its demand for fast action on them followed by quick adjournment, it was said after a Sunday night conference, at which President Roosevelt and his congressional leaders went over the situation. Three Major Items Senator Harrison (Dem., Miss.), one of the conferees, said, “There is still no definite agreement as to when congress can adjourn.” The three Items still requiring senate action are the sweeping industrial control measure, an appropriation bill supplying funds for the $3,300,000,000 public works program, and the veterans** economy compromise. It seemed probable that these could have been put through the senate Saturday night, despite insurgent rumblings, had not President Roosevelt been anxious to start his governmental reorganization program and save $25,000,000. Ire Is Aroused Late Saturday he sent to congress an executive order regrouping various organizations in the executive departments and abolishing a few, such as the national screw thread commission. The President has unlimited authority to regroup and to abolish, subject only to congressional veto which must, however, be exercised within sixty days. Obviously it would have been impossible for congress to decide and announce in the last hours of a session whether the Roosevelt plan was unsatisfactory. Angered by the circumstances under which the changes were proposed. progressive Republicans balked. They were joined by several regulars. APPROACH OF STORK WINS MERCY IN COURT Offending Autoist Given Leniency on Father’s Plea. Approaching visit of the stork to his home won leniency today for Fred Woolley, 24 South La Salle street, who was in munuicipal court on charges of drunken driving and no driver’s license. After Woolley’s father told Charles Karabell, judge pro tern., that his son has one child and another is expected next month, fine of $25 and costs on the drunken driving charge was suspended and the same action was taken on a fine of $1 and costs for-fajhre to have a driver’s icense. Karabell said he would recommend to the state licensing department that Woolley be denied a driver’s license for the remainder of the year. MORE JOBS OBTAINED Veterans’ Employment Service Gives Help to Many. Employment as evidenced through the local Veterans’ Employment Service, a branch of the United States department of labor, showed an increase of 10 per cent in May as compared to the same month last year, M- W. Hankins, manager, said today. “Labor conditions are improved greatly,” he stated, “and we are having fewer applicants as unemployed veterans find jobs elsewhere.”
