CAPITAL PREDICTS
 COOLIDGE WINNER
Opinion Is He Will Get Republi-
 can Nomination

Washington, March al.-The. cer- tain nomination of President Coolidge 10 head the republican ticket. the practical elimination of Senator Hiram Johnson of California, as a contender for the nomination and a probably fatal backset for Senator Underwood of Alabama, as candidate for the democratic nomination were the les sons drawn by political observers here today from the North Dakota and Georgia primaries.
 At the same time, the heavy vote for Senator La Toilette in North Da- kota is looked on as clearly indicating that he will be a formidable factor in this years presidential contest if he runs as an independent.
 With respect to William G. McAdoo his four-to-one victory over Senator Underwood in Georgia is regarded as sure to encourage him to continue in the race for the democratic nomina- ton to the last, but as settling noth- ing so far as his prospects for getting two-thirds of the democratic conven- ton is concerned.
 Despite success for MT. McAdoo in Georgia. the impression continues to be practically. unchanged in Washing ton that the democratic party will not put at the head of its ticket the man who was long the attorney for E.. L.. Doheny.

HER TWO HUBBIES SHAKE
 AT TRIAL FOR BIGAMY
Leave Court Room Arm in Arm After Magistrate Holds Mrs Ethel Lar sen in 2,OOO Bail for Trial.

i New York, March 2l.--When Mrs. l Ethel Larsen, 30 years old, of 32O 1 West Thirty-fourth street, appeared in the Iorkyille Court yesterday to an | swer to the charge of having more than her share of husbands. Magis- l trate Cobb refused to grant further adjournment of the case and held her 1! in s2,000 bail.
 l It was her third appearance in court since her arrest on Saturday.
 She already had obtained two ad- 1 journments to retain counsel and pre- l pare he'd defense.
 1 Husbands No. l and 2, Frank Lar 1 sen, of North Syracuse, N. r., and Clarence C. Behrs, Of 44a West Thir- ! ty-fourth street, were in court and apparently on excellent terms. They sat together throughout the hearing and left the court room arm in arm. Behrs, the second mate, admitted talk ing this opportunity of showing Lar sen the town.
 Larsen said he married the accused in 1914 and lived amcably with her until 1919, during which time three l children were born. On June 12, 1919, he returned home. he said, to find only the kitchen stove, a chair, and a knife and fork.
 He heard nothing further from his wife, he said, until December, of 1919, when he received a letter asking for funds. He said he sent them through an intermediary. After that she pass ed from his ken, he said, though nt intervals he continued to receive pleas for funds. The children, he learned, had been placed in an institution in Stamford. Conn. from which. after some difficulty, he managed to get them.
 Behrs testified he married Mrs. Lar sen in September. 1923 at the 'Little Church Around the Corner" and set up housekeeping at ?i5 West 105th street. She deserted him at the end of two months. he said, and it was only in going through some of her papers he found her certificate of marriage to Larsen.

PROTECTION OF CAPITAL
 LEVY WILL NOT PASS
Capital Levy is Exactly the same Po- sition as Protection. Cannot Enact
 in Parliament. Says Premier.

London. March 2i.-Much impor- tance is being attached to the state ment of Premier Macdonald on cap ital levy and protection made during his speech in the House of Commons, The text of ahis statement regarding the two subjects follows:
 Capital levy is in exactly the same position as protection. It cannot be enacted in this Parliament. We shall not deal with capital levy. No change of that character can be made until a majority of the country is in favor of it. I have not the least doubt that MT. Chamberlain will go on propa- gating his doctrine of protection, but until he or somebody else produces some scheme which will save this country from the exceedingly bad cf- fecst, as I think. Of too heavy na- tional debt. increasing the cost of pro- duction, diminishing the purchasing value of money, expressing the wage earning classes in mass, as I think.

New York. March 21.--One man was killed and 13 persons were in jured when two explosions occurred in an uptown garage late yesterday. The injured included a patrolman and seven firemen.
 William Healy, 50 years old, pro prietor of the garage, was the man killed. His body was found in the ruins of the building after a fire that followed the explosions had been extinguished. His son, William Healy. Jr. was among the injured.
 The first explosion was believed to have been caused by the ignition Of gasoline on the sidewalk. The second

Coolidge in North Dakota not only has been highly pleasing to Admins tration leaders but it has been a sur prise to most republicans in the House and Senate. It is looked on as a demonstration of the fact that the President has strong grip on the re- publicans of the entire country, and also of the fact that in the agricul- tural states, where there is deep-seat- cd political unrest and dissatisfac- ton. there is powerful support for the President and a distinct sentiment among the farmers that Mir. Cool idge is sympathetic with their troubles and is seeking ways to af- ford them relief.
 Comment among republicans today was to the fact the President was stronger than his party and to the further effect that the President, in the minds of the country. was un- touched by the Teapot Dome scandal land the Daugherty charges.
 LaF'ollctte a Factor.
 The fact that in North Dakota Sem ator LaFollette, though his name was not printed on the ballot ran neck and-neck with Senator Johnson is re- garded as meaning that many of the progressive republicans refused to support Johnson and that LaFollette has a support which will make him a strong factor if he runs as an inde- pendent candidate. At the least it is looked on as plain that as an inde- pendent candidate he would detract greatly from the republican strength in the northwest.
 Indications are that the Coolidge victory in North Dakota will be fol- lowed by another victory in South Dakota next week.
 The result of the Georgia Nprimar- ies, in which McAdoo won 4 to i over Underwood, unquestionably is hard blow at the Underwood pros- poets. Georgia was one of the four states Senator Underwood had in
