Joseph Irwin France, former United States Senator frcm Maryland declared last night that, although he had used advertisements in New York and Philadelphia newspapers yesterday to disclaim respon sibility for debts not contracted by himself, the advertisements were not directed against his Russian wife and did not indicate that he and Mrs. France had separated or divorce proceedings were pending. The notice appearing In a New York newspaper stated Dr, France 'shall not be responsible for any debts contracted by my wife or any ether person but myself." The notice was signed by Joseph Irwin France, Port Deposit, where Dr. France makes his home. "The advertisement in a Philadelphia newspaper," Dr.

France said, was correct. This read 'contracted by any person' and my wife was not mentioned. The same kind of notice was to have been inserted in the New York newspaper, but a mistake was made. The paper was not in error. The mUtake occurred, prob ably, because of the letter sent by me.

"The notice was given as a protec tive measure and because cf some thing that involves another member of my family. It was not directed at my wife. She never goes any where or runs up bills. Since her arrival in this country she has been an invalid, but has been progressing steadily. When she first arrived in this country tie weighed 105 pounds and now weighs 125 pounds.
