Aqed Millionaire Is
 Granted A Divorce
SAMUEL H. BUNDLE OF DANBURY, 86 YEARG OLD, IS FREED FROM BRIDE OF 30 ON
 CROSS COMPLAINT

Samuel H. Rundle, S6 year old Danbury millionaire, was today granted a divorce from 30 year old Gladys Austin Rundle of New York, on the ground of infidelity. Judge Webb of the Superior Court accepted the report of Judge John w. Banks who heard testimony in the case as a committee.
 The committees report stated. that Mrs. Rundle had been found guilty of infidelity between October 22 and October 26, 1918, at 219 West 127th street, New York. Thomas Roe was named as correspondent. The de- cree was granted on Bundles cross complaint to his wifes suit on the ground of intolerable cruelty.
 The couple were married in Green wich October 16, 191S, and the affair created some discussion at the time because of the difference in the ages of the pair. Just one month after the wedding the wife started divorce proceedings.
 Thereupon RundIe filed a cross complaint alleging the young bride had conceived the fraudulent design of marrying him and then abandon ing him so she could get a large sum
  fore the ceremony, represented that her name was Gladys Collins and that she was single.
 As a matter of fact she was at the time of the marriage the legal wife of Sidney A. Toovey of New York but she concealed this from Bundle. The aged millionaire alleged that on their wedding night Mrs. Bundle went to New York to see Toovey and the lat ter was named as a correspondent but the report of the committee does not show that TooVey was found guilty. In her divorce petition Mrs. Bundle claimed her husband is worth S2, ,000- coo She asked for alimony but in- asmuch as the husband was granted the decree there is no aimony al- lowed the wife. Bundle is in very fee ble health at present, according to a statement made in the Superior court today by his counsel, Col. J. Moss Ives of Danbury.

WILL ISSUE
 INCOME FORMS IN DECEE.1DER

Collector of Internal Revenue Jas. J. Walsh stated today that the De- partment of Internal Revenue is planning to issue forms for the filing of income and excess profits tax re- turns early in December this year, instead of wa ting until January l, as has been the custom in former years. This change is being made so that the taxpayer may make out his return as soon as he has closed his books for the year 1919, and while an accurate knowledge of his ac- counts is still fresh in his mind.
 The period for filing is. as usual, from January 1st to March 15, 1920. and the tax is paid in qua; Serly pay ments, onerquarter of tax due to ac- company returns.
 The normal tax rate for the year 1919, is i per cent. on the first S4.0o0 above exemptions and per cent. on the remaining net income, as against a tax rate of and F per cent. re- speetively for the year 1918. The surtaz, however, remains the same as for the year 1918, ranging from l per cent. on the amount of net income between s5.000 and s6, GOO to 65 per cent. of the amount by which the net income exceeds $1.000,000. The ex- emptions of S1,O00 for single persons and S2,000 for married persons or heads of families and S200 for each dependent person also remain un- changed.
 These rates apply to all citizens and residents of the United States. Non resident aliens receiving income from sources within the United States are obliged to pay the full per cent. on such income as they may have In ex- cess of exemptions
 The forms which will be used in filing returns are as follows Form 1040A for individual income tax re- turns of s5,000 or less; Form 1040 for incomes in excess of $5,ooo Form 1041 will be used for filing fidueiaries and 1865 for partnerships and per sonaI service corporations and Form 1120 for Corporations.
 Collector Walsh states that he will announce later the exact date upon which these forms will be available, and he earnestly urges every taxpayer to take advantage of this opportunity to help himself in the matter or mak- ing up his return. and incidentally expedite the work of the Govern ment,

SALOONS SELL .4PER GENT. MALT
 DRINKS OPENLY

Providence, R. T., Nov. 1.-The police commission today decided to act under the preliminary injunction granted by Federal Judge Arthur A. Brown against the enforcement of the war time prohibition act and to allow the saloons to sell malt bev- erages containing not more than 4 per cent alcohol without interfer- ence. This attitude was taken upon advice of the solicitor.
 The commission announced that while the police department would not gather any evidence of sales the dealers would have to assume all re- sponsibility. The dealers all have licenses under the act passed by the last session of the general assembly which permits them to be licensed for the sale of "non-intoXicating bev- erages containing not more than four percent of alcohol
 Upon the announcement of the commissions decision nearly all the saloons opened again today.
 In Pawtucket many liquor dealers were openly selling four per cent beer, although the license cornnis- sioners said they did so on their own responsibility.

 ''The girl had been with the Fol- lies,' said Walker yesterday "and I got her into the motion pictures out in Los Angeles, where she made good and was on her way to be starred by the Goldwyn people, for whom I have been writing a lot of scenarios. She told me she was a single girl, and I planned to marry her. Later she told me she had been married.
 Then I learned that she had never been divorced. The California sun light was bright, so I put shade on her eye for fooling me and she had me pinched. I put up hundred fishes to get out. and then she slapped on a suit for $50, 900 which, take it from me, will never be collected.
 ..I've been down in New Iberia par ish with friends, and while I was there I wrote new play and now I'm going to New York to put it in the hands Of my producers"

COLD STORAGE
 EGGS WILL NOT
 BE STAMPED

On Wednesday, November 5, Thomas Holt, state dairy and food comm;s- sioner, declared that he intends to enforce the egg law passed by the last session of the Legislature Fol lowing this announcement egg deal CTS were interviewed, and they unani- inlously declared that if the law was to be enforced, it would necessarily mean the boosting of the price of eggs. The price will not go up, be- cause the government is anxious that the high cost of living be reduced, and the enforcement of the egg law, which requires that each incubated, preserved, or cold storage egg be stamped, will not go into effect.
 Robert Scoville. federal food admin istrator, wrote to Attorney General Frank F. Healy, in which he said:
 T have recently heard that it is proposed to attempt enforcement of the state statute requiring all cold storage eggs offered for sale to be stamped. I am of the opinion that this would not only add an aprecia- ble amount to the retail price of eggs but will also involve some loss of food through the inevitable breakage involved in an additional handling.
 ''As you know. the federal govern ment has pledged itself to use every effort to reduce the cost of living and I sincerely trust that soc way may be found whereby the state of Con- necticut can cooperate in this move ment and not place an additional bur den on the consumer. Under these circumstances hope you will find it possible to delay enforcement until more suitable season.
 The attorney general, in reply to this letter, said that following it's re- ceipt, a conference was held by the attorney-general, United States Dis State Dairy and Food Commissioner Thomas Holt. The letter says:-
 At that time, the district attorney stated the position of the United States government in its efforts to reduce the cost of living and stated that in his opinion the enforcement of this law would increase the price of eggs. We believe this to pc true. and in conference with Dairy and Food Commissioner Holt, we have decided that under existing condi- lions we will not make any effort to enforce the provisions of this statute, but do all in our power to co-oper- ate with the United States Govern ment in its effort to reduce prices. You are at liberty to command our services to that end,'
 As a result, Commissioner Holt has announved that the law will not be enforced. and, unless some other oc- casion arises, eggs will be sold at the same price.
