PARIS, Oct. 21. (By Associat

Gaillaux Is jpreparingi a counter
proposal for' the settlement of
France's debts to ithe United
States. The substance of this new
offer which is expected to go for
ward to Washington! next week,
was discussed by Premier Painleve
and M. Caillaux at luncheon to-
dav. Othef members of the

This question was considered at
the last meeting of J the cabinet
which approved the suggestion of
the nnance minisier j.uai ouumci
etrort be maae ai once io t
a compromise with the American
debt funding commission ; before
presenting to the chaber of dep-
utles the provisional agreement
reached at Washington. By the
terms of this DroVisional settle
ment, France was to pay $40,000,-
000 annually for five! years as fuU
current interest on the consolidat
ed debt of approximately $4,200,-
000,000 which France owes the
United States. i
The cabinet decided that an
other attempt to coiie to a defi
nite final arrangement with
America was preferable to an ef-
tort to get parliament io mtujr t
provisional accoru. ;u
chamber ot aepuues ana me sea-
ate, a strong wnwi
has set in against tne provisional i
agreement.
what Prance can offer in addi
tion to the proposal tbe Caillaux
iir f Wisntnitton was!
the subject of today's session be
tween the nremler and finance
minister. It Is generally agreed
in official and political circles that
France's capacity to! pay her for
eign debts depends upon the solu
tion of the pressing difficulties of
her treasury. j
The key to M. Caillaux' plan to
renovate French ' finances is the
provision of a sinking fund for
both domestic and foreign' debts.
A settlement with yashington, it
is remarked by officials here,
would be easier when the financial
measures now in view have been
accented bv parliament, but the
minister of finance Is unwilling to
delay the renewal of negotiations
with the American' government
until domestic political problems
are out of the way. j
Therefore with the authority of
the cabinet M. Caillaux probably!
will send a new otfer to Washing-
ton before the end of next week.
The terms of the! new offer re -
main to be fixed, it was said in
official circles tonight, but the
opinion of persons close to M.
Caillaux is that he tan only raise

Measure Is Won Without Vote to
Spare; Law Enforcement
- Is Discussed
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 21.
(By Associated Press.)-Rights ot
women and enforcement of laws
were prominently before the gen
eral convention of the Protestant
Episcopal church today. Both sub
jects claimed conspicuous places
in the two houses.
Women taking marriage vows
under the Episcopal marriage cere
mony were definitely relieved from
the -promise to "obey" their hus
bands when the bishops concurred
with the deputies, in eliminating
the word fro mthe Bervice. The
elimination was not accomplished
without a contest however, and
the victory was won without a vote
to spare. The test ballot showed
66 to 2.7, sixty-six being the neces
sary .constitutional majority. With
"obey" went the bridegroom's an
nouncement to the bride "with all
my worldly goods I thee endow."
Law and order was suggested
in two resolutions. In the house
of bighoT) the Rieht Rev. John C.

Tom Murray Called to Stand
After State-Rests; Court
Room Well-Guarded
DEAD -CONVICT BLAMED
EUswwtli Kclley fiavn Oregon
Jones .lUlled Guard Hol
man; Another Version
of Prison Break
Tomj-Murray, under sentence to
be hanged for the killing of John
Sweeney, prjson guard, during the
break of August 12. was the first
witness called by the defense in
the atrial of James WIUos and "
Ellsworth Kelley, convicts, accused .
of complicity in the killing, and
of murder in the first 'degree.
Murray was called to the stand-at
3 o'clock, immediately after the
state had rested Its case,
Murray appeared, In court sur
rounded by guards and deputies.
It was the second time since the
men were Indicted by the grand
Jury that all three have been pres
ent at court at the same time, add
every precaution was taken to
guard any attempt to break.
While the witness was seated In
the box a guard stood immediate
ly back of him. Two deputies
were placed at each door and two
others were stationed near WIllos
and Kelley, tbe defendants.
The condemned convict wore a
sardonic grin as he entered the .
room. While being sworn In by
U. G. Boyer, county clerk,- )he
winked at Willos and smiled "I
do," accepting the oath of the
court. He also laughed openly
when Will R. King, defense conn-"
sel, inadvertently referred to him
as Kelley.
Murray's testimony was differ
ent in little respect from that of
other witnesses and from his pre
vious ; testimony during his own
trial. '" ; According to Murray, ' he
was the first of the escaping' prs-t
onera to ,reaeh the ground oatsids-dt'lnprlson-wal!..?'
"'Tia'tt-'. tif
the ground I saw Jones' ' on "the
wall above me," thewitness Bald,
r started for the prison "garage 'la
get a car but someone there etart
ed shooting at me and I went
back. Jones on the wall above
had two guns. He yelled to ine '
and told me to catch one, but l r
wa3 too busy: Then was when I
took a shot at Lute Savage. Some
body was shooting at me, too.
from the prison garage."
Murray declared that while
Willos had a .88 revolver, he was '
firm In his belief that Kelley was
unarmed until he picked up a
shotgun from outside the prison
walls.
At the conclusion - of Murray's
testimony, Kelley, himself took
the stand In his own behalf. He .
was dressed in a heavy blue shirt, ;
prison overalls and an ill-fitting '
prison coat. He spoke low, ; and .
evidently thought carefully before
answering. During his entire re
cital ot the Incidents of the break
and of his canture. Keller looked
at the jury as he talked- He spoke
mechanically and with extreme
