 Field Marshal yol HindenburS. who has been mentioned as the choice of the Kapp faction for the German presidency has eliminated himself From the situation, it is stated, by Hanover newspapers. He is reported to have made a public declaration that he is not connected with the Kapp revolution and on the con f1rary disapproves of it.
 General Strike Called. N Berlin is in the grip of a general Strike called by socialists and labor : leaders as a counter stroke to the as- Sumption of power by the govern t1ment headed by Wolfgang kapp, who has issued a decree threatening all strike. leaders and pickets with , death if there is interference with --saital public services. Extreme treasures will be taken under the deerees from o'clock this afternoon and it is possible the crisis of the new revolution will quickly follow. Details of the situation through put Germany are somewhat obscure s but there seems to be reason to be- lieye the Ebert government is still holding control in the southern and western sections, while the kapp : regime is rather firmly intrenched in .northeast Prussia and Silesia where ssmany towns and cities are reported ,fo have declared their adherence to 4 the new government.

About Score Of DclinqucntS Who Arrived at Office This Morning Arc Fined $5 and 25 Per Cent. Addition Mail Returns Accepted.

Approximately 5000 income tax returns were filed this year with the income tax agents at City hall and so great was the number of returns made last night that it was necessary for the agents to remain in their of flee until midnight. Messrs Frank Mccormack and Frank Gilmore were in charge of the work here. They plan to clean up the business of the office today and Mr. Gilmore will re port to the New Haven office while Mr. Mccormack will return to the Hartford division. It is probable that MT. Mccormack may be permanently assigned to work in this city.
 1900 More This. Year.
 The number of returns this year was about 300 more than last year. This $ due in part to the many eX- service men liable to the tax this year, who, through their service were ren- dered in d position not to pay the assessment last year. Many women filed blanks this year and the agents were pleased to note that the average woman grasped the principle and method of filling out blanks much better than the average man. There were but d few grum blers. . PoStOfIicc SJvampad.
 So great was the number of appH- cants for money orders at the post office lssst night after declaration had been made to the tax agents Sthat it was necessary 10 close the office doors and allow no one else inside. For that reason. returns made today were not considered as .delinquents. It is eN- pected that about 300 new blanks will be received today. The agents here believe the amount raised this year will be in excess of that of last year although the rate was lower.

PRESENCE OF MIND SAVES HIM
James T.. Flynn, OF Taylors, Green
vile County, Narrowly Escapes.

Greenville, Sept. 16.--Presence OF
mind and strength Of body saved
James E. Flynn, Of Taylors, this
county. from broken neck yesterday
when the wagon on which he was
riding was struck by truck from
the large public health service hos
pital here.
Mr.. Flynn was seated on the rear
Of his wagon frame, the body Of the
wagon not being in use. When the
truck hit the wagon Mr.. Flynn was
thrown against the wheel with such
force that his head caught between
two spokes. He was unable to extri-
cate his head, and while making an
effort to do so, his team bolted and
ran. Realizing that his only chance
lay in preventing the wheel from
turning, Mr.. Flynn grasped the wheel
with one hand and the wagon frame
with the other, keeping the wheel
from turning while the team ran for
over hundred yards. The frightened
animals then were stopped and Mr.
Flynn released from the wheel.
