RUSSIA PLANS SELL
PARIS, Aug., 15, —Coincident
with the announcement that Sov
iet Russia is planning to sell Rus
sian bonds in the United States and
elsewhere, it was learned that the
Russian government is negotiating
with French bankers to form a
combine to finance Franco-Rus
sian trade.
At the same time it was an
nounced that a five-year contract
has been signed between the Sov
iet Naphtha Society and a syndi
cate of French petroleum compa
nies to enable France to import
from 280.000 to 520.000 tons of un
refined petroleum annually.
STOCK MJI8KET BREAKS
BECAUSE STEADY BUTS
AUBURN, N. Y., Aug., 13, —Vol
ume soared for a time as the mar
ket resisted pressure but the offer
ings were too persistent, and in
the last hour trading increased on
the downside.
On stop orders, sales mounted
and tickers were unable to keep
pace. The main reason for the
break, according to observers, was
the preliminary overbought posi
tion of the loans which required
technical correction.
AWARDED ESTATE
BUENOS AIRES, Aug., 13, — Af-1
ter 12 years of litigation, a civil
court here adjudged John Munro ■
the sole heir to the immense es- |
tate left by his brother, Donald |
Munro, the Scottish “Cattle King” i
of Patagonia, who died 30 years
ago. The fortune is estimated at
$7,500,000 at current exchange
rates.
AGAINST REDUCTION
WASHINGTON, D C., Aug., 13, —
Declaring against reduction of
European war debts, Representa
tive Hawley wRep. Ore.) expressed
the belief that the very existence
of these debts is the best possible
preventive of future wars.
UNIVERSAL RECOGNITION
DIVORCE DEGREES, NEXT
OXFORD, Eng., Aug., 13, —Steps
were taken to submit to the chief
governments of the world a plan
for universal recognition of divorce
decrees granted by competent
courts.
The international law association
adopted a recommendation to this
effect and proceeded to carry it out
in debating the issue- However, a
special attack was made upon the
divorce courts of Reno, Nev., and
Mexico, and the international law
yers agreed that decrees granted
there should be void in all coun
tries.
TO DISCUSS ACCORD
PARIS, Aug., 13, —Premier Ed
ouard Herriot today designated re
presentatives of the Ministry of
Commerce and the Foreign Minis
try, to discuss with American tech
nicians the proposed commercial
accord between France and the U.
S. The first conference will be af
ter the return of Ambassador Wal
ter E. Edge.
INDEPENDENT STATE
TOKIO, Aug., 13, —A spokesman
for the government said that Japan
may announce immediate recogni
tion of Manchukuo this week. The
government never has officially re
cognized what was Manchuria as
an independent state and official
cognizance will confer definite res
ponsibility on Japan.

With a washout of roadbed on
the mainline, tying up the rail
road between Curry and McKinley
Park, the washing out of a portion
of the Moose Creek coal spur, lead
ing from Moose Creek station on
the main coal spur to the Premier
mine, and the same condition ex
isting with the Evan Jones coal
spur from Sutton to the mine, the
Alaska Railroad has suffered the
heaviest damage inflicted since the
road was completed
As a result of the Evan Jones
washout rail communications will
be suspended for three months, it
is reported, and the Premier mine
is in a like situation Both spurs,
continues the local report, will
have to be almost entirely rebuilt.
In the case of the Evan Jones,
the catastrophe will not be so se
vere in view of the fact that it is
just now installing new machinery,
including pumps, and carrier sys
tem and driving a new entry.
The damage is the result of tor
rential rains creating exceptional
flood conditions.
With regard to the Premier mine,
and as was reported some weeks
ago in The Gateway, it is said a
deal has just been completed
whereby Bartley Howard has en
j listed new capital and is now in
preparation of beginning mining
on a large scale.
