senator James e. Watson, who made
an address here before the Indiana
Manufacturer association. said he
was only a candidate for denomination
for United States senator by Indiana
Republicans, and is not a candidate

Talk of Senator Watson for tho
presidency has been heard among his
friends and admirers, particularly in
some of the eastern states. 1t had
been understood lately that Repubi-

to some understanding concerning the
relative parts they are to play in the
1920 campaign. Now Senator Watson
makes the positive statement that he
is only a candidate for denomination

After another speaking tour. which

of rabbits. which for years was a
popular resort for hunters. Many far
mers have lost several young hogs
each, and chicken roosts for miles
round have been raided at nights. The
carcasses about the mouth Of the den
testified. say the fox hunters. to the
fact that pigs were dragged to the

SUED FOR DIVORCE
KEEP TERMS SECRET
(By Associated Press)

ZURICH, April 1.-THE former
German Crown Princess Cecile has
taken steps to divorce her husband
Frederick William, according to a
statement given to Swiss newspapers
by the former Grand Duchess Anas-
TASTE OF Necklerburg- -Schwerin, mother
of former crown princess. The state
ment says that it long has been the
desire of Cecile to divorce her hus-
band, but that the pressure Of the
Hohenzollern family up to this time
had prevented her from carrying 1t
out.
The statement Of the grand duchess
charges Frederick William with cruel
ty to his wife, saying:
"On one occasion some time ago the
situation became SO unbearable that
my daughter actually fed from her
home. She almost succeeded In reach
ing Switzerland. Orders were sent
from Berlin to intercept her. and she
was captured at the German frontier
like a common criminal and taken to
Berlin under arrest.
"My daughter will be able to place
before the German court overwhelm.
ing evidence against her husband and
will be able to prove many instances
of the grossest cruelty against him.
Hts infidelities were numerous and
there Is abundant proof Of them"

there are only twenty naturalized
Americans and American wives OF
Hungarians in Hungary. 1t Is poss1-
BILE that an effort will be made to
send food there. There is little meat
and few vegetables in the hotels and
there is no salt. Eggs are plentiful
while the bread sold in the city is
worse than that on the market here.
When Count Karolyi was In Vienna
he called on Professor Philip Brown,
secretary of the American mission
here and told him that he would be
glad to accept can OF condensed milk.
He finds socialism difficult program
and was much downcast when here,
partly because he felt he was badly
treated by the allies and partly be-
cause he is hated by the aristocrats
of Hungary who charge him with be
traying them into the hands Of rob
bers or fanatics. He was also de
spondent because he was being re
stricted in his expenditures. In form

farmers of that section have made

The discovery Of the presence OF
foxes In the vicinity, which. incidental
ly proved the suspicion OF the stock
raisers, was made Sunday afternoon
by children hunting flowers In the
old Harve Paddock timber, eight miles
southeast of the city. now owned oy
Dr. E. r. Churchell of Richmond. The
children came across the den. the
front of which was Uttered with bones
and feathers and the carcasses OF
numerous rabbits. The find was I'M
mediately reported to William Gaar
who owns the land adjoining that IN
which the den was found. The same
evening, Mr.. Gaar slipped up to the
mouth Of the den, and, initiating the
bark of an adult fox, succeeded In at
tracing one Of the young close enough
to the opening to discern his Identity

On Tuesday evening Mr.. Gaar noti
fed his neighbors of the discovery
and a posse formed the following
morning. the previous two days hav

the best fox hounds in the country al

was surrounded by twenty-five armed
possemen, and the dogs were turned
loose in the timber. Within twenty

the underbrush close by Harry Ham

shots from the guns OF the hunters

, abandoning the chase for the mothe
fox, the hunters surrounded the del
and captured the young by diggini

INCOME TAX OF
ANCL0-AmERICAN
EXCEEDS INCOME
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, April 17-That q man
should pay more money for income
tax than the total of his incomes seems
the limit OF taxation. This is said to
be the plight Of a we'll known British
peer who was born an American and
became natualized in England some
years ago. His property is in the
United States. Being British sub
ject, he is compelled by British law
to pay income tax on all his revenues
from all sources and the American
law compels payment OF income tax
on all his income from American
property. Being a multi-millionaire.
his income is subject to heavy super
tax by both governments and the two
taxes are said to amount to more than
one hundred percent Of the income.
Thus, the unfortunate nobleman must
pay out all of his receipts and dip into
his capital to defray current taxes.
and, after defraying this first charge,
use more of the capital for living ex-
penses.
The double income tax Of the war
period has hit well to do Americans
who live in Great Britain very hard.
In former days very few Of the large
colony Of American business men liv-
ing in Britain ever gave up their
American citizenship. But many OF
them have found this draft on their
patriotism too heavy and have reluct.
antly changed their allegiance and
taken out naturalization papers.
AS for those Americans who lived
here because they found the social
atmosphere Of England more con
genial and the scope for spending
money on pleasures greater than a,
home, most Of them seem to have dis
appeared.
