The Fairbanks will was filed for probate on June 19 following the death of Mr. Fairbanks on June 4. 1918. When an inventory was filed some time after the probate of the win and the appointment of the executors, no mention was made in the inventory that Fairbanks had any interest in the Indianapolis News. The truthful ownership of the Nows Saras guarded carefully during the life time of the former vice president and the was that Deiavnn Smith f the owner. SOLD WCVERNMENT SAME RHING. Evei M the sworn statement of ownership It required by the federal postal authdtities. prior to the filing of the will contest suit, showed "Delavan Smith, doing business as the Indianapolis News,” wa-ythe owner of the News. I.ater. following the indictment of Deiavnn Smith in the Uniteu States district court of this city on a charge of violating the federal law requiring a statement of truthful ownership, a postolflce statement showed that Smith and the Charles Warren Fairbanks estate were the owners of the News. The Fairbanks estate owns a threefourths Interest of the Indianapolis News and It is understood that Mr. Smith will retain management of the newspaper a* k lung as he lives, according to the understood expressed desire of Mr. Fairbanks. JIfDGE ANDERSON HUHTAIXB DEMI RRER. (Federal Judge A. B. Anderson sustained a demurrer in Smith's case on the grounds that the act charged did not eon■tittue sn offense against the section of the federal statutes under which the indictment was returned. Miss Fairbanks at the time of filing her rlll contest suit was Mrs. Adelaide Tim!Uods. but pending the final disposition of the estate, Mrs. Timmons filed divorce proceedings in superior court, Room 2, Linn Hay, judge, and was granted a divorce on the grounds of nonsupport. Capt. Timmons did not appear in court to contest the suit. On Sept 6, last. Miss Fairbanks, who surrendered , the name of Timmons at the time the decree was granted, filed a suit contesting the will and demanded a child's full share of the estate, instead of' a restricted part. NEWS APPRAISED 'AT 81.500.000. The filing of this suit resulted in Frederick. Warren and Richard Fairbanks filing a supplementary inventory appraising the estate's interest in the News at $1,500,000. As far as is known this was the first sworn and public announcement of the silent ownership of Fairbanks In the newspaper. ' The divorce of Mrs. Timmons, her will contest suit and the acknowledgment of the secret ownership of the News, along with the subsequent indictment of De'avan Smith in the federal court, received national prominence and was widely discussed. Effort* we-e made, it is understood, to settle the suit brought by Miss Fairbanks. Judge Mahlon Bash, probate commissioner who Is presiding in the contest suit, was asked to be in his chambers at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon to sign the agreement. The court waited until after 5 p. m., but the attorneys did not appear. Announcement was made that there was “slight delay” in typewriting the agreement. The heirs were notified to appear in probate court this morning at the presentation of the announced agreement.

Fast Living and Easy Money Cause Divorce RICHMOND, Ind., July 3.—Prosecutor Gath Freeman of this county attributes an increase of 33 per cent iin divorce cases filed in the circuit 'court here the first six months of the year, to fast living and easy money. Plenty of money seems to have a more demoralising effect upon hus-. bands than upon wives, according to Mr. Freeman, for most of the complaints filed by women bring flagrant charges against their husbands. IDENTIFY MAN IN FATAL FALL Believe Ohioan Leaped From , Sixth Story Window. A man identified today as George M. Hershey, 36, of Xenia, 0., was killed in a fail from a building at 5:10 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Hershey fell in the alley between the Hume-Mansur building and the Bankers’ Trust building, and died within a few minutes after being placed in an ambulance. Wilbur Hershey, 218 North Senate avenue, a brother, identified the body as tiwt of his brother George. He called at the Kregelo & Bailey undertakers morgue and viewed the body and after identifying it as his brother he ordered it removed to Finn Brothers, 135 West Market street. INVESTIGATION WOULD INDICATE SUICIDE. Investigation made by the authorities into the case indicated that he probably had committed suicide, it was said to,ilay, although the death may have been accidental. It was lcarn*d that Hershey had been in ill health since suffering an attack of influenza some months ago. and it is said that he had oeeu treated by Dr. ; G. W. Seaton. Hershey, it is said, made frequent visits to Dr. Seaton’s office, 620 Banker's Trust building It is believed be went to the office of that physician yesterday afternoon. Whether H'rshey plunged from the window of Dr. Seaton's offi -e or from a window of and washroom located south of that officq could not be learned. The washroom is reached by an unlocked door from the hallway, and the window of the room was open at the time of the fall. The narrowness of the window and the passageway leading to it indicated that the man, if he fell from that window, did not do so accidentally, police say. Dr. Seaton could neither be found at his home nor at his office. His office hours in the afternoon end at 4 p. m. and Hershey met his death at 5:10 p. m. To reach the outside window of Dr. Seaton's office it would be necessary to enter his private office, and the door is kept locked when the physician is not there. HERSHEY WORKED IN INDIANAPOLIS. This would Indicate, the authorities say, that Hershey probably fell from the washroom window and not the window of the physician's office. Hershey was unmarried. He was employed at the Parry Manufacturing plant, in the automobile department. The dead man had roomed at the North Senate avenue address, where his brother lives, since coming to Indianapolis from Xenia. The body was removed to the morgue of Kreglo <v Bailey, funeral directors, 532 North Pennsylvania street, and after the coroner had examined It a number of persons viewed It In an effort to establish the identity of the dead man Sergt Houston, Detectives Duncan and Deßossette started an investigation immediately following the report of the accident. Booker T. Starks, 19, nezro, 738 North California street, who was standing iu the alley, saw the man falling, bur saw him just before hia body struck the pavement, and could not tell from where he fell. Melvin Masters, 2346 Broadway, sitting in his office on the fourth floor of the Hume-Mansur building, saw the i man's body pass his office window. W. R. Wlddop, College avenue, saw the man falling and when be first saw him the body was even with the fourth floor of the buildings. It was at first thought that the man might have been a painter employed in work near the top of the Bankers Trust building, but this was disproved. Paul Robertscn. secretary of the HumeMansur building company investigated and says he does not believe the man fell from a window of that building.

NATURE COMES TO AID IN H. C. L. WAR Man, 84, Barred From False Teeth Cuts Third Set. The adage, that there is nothing new under the sun, has been 1 disproved by Nr D. Starr, who has cut a third set of teeth at the age of St, when usually the only new molars, bicuspids, etc., that can be achieved are those purchased from a dentist, says the Memphis Commercial Appeal. Mr. Starr, who is in the employ of the Memphis Artesian Water Company, recently found himself in need of a set of these artificial substitutes for the teeth provided by nature. But when he visited bis dentist the price was too high and he decided to go toothless. However, through one of the unaccountable happenings which sometimes upset all rules. Mr. Starr discovered that he was cutting twelve new teeth. They are almost through now. although they are not very useful yet, owing to the fact that his gums are sore, • n a fashion familiar to all mothers of teething infants or to boys and girls whose second teeth are replacing their baby teeth, and even to the older boys and girls who proudly announce, ‘‘l'm cutting a wisdom tooth!" Dentists doubtless will contend that such a thing can not happen. But Mr. Starr knows that he now has teeth where no teeth were before. Moreover, he says his eyesight is better than it was several years ago and so far from his vigor being lmpum-ti by advancing years, he feels stronger and more youthful than he did when he was 70.

OBREGON PLAN FOR MEXICO IS ‘SAFE AND SANE’ Revolutionist Says Aim Is to Make Foreigners and Their Money Secure. ALSO SEEKS INTEGRITY MEXICO CITY, July 3.—Gen Alvaro Ohregon, for several years the strongest man in Carranza's cabinet, and the onlj soldier in the Mexican army who has ever succeeded in landing a smashing biow against Francisco Villa, notorious bandit chief, when he put his army to utter rout at the battle of Celaya in April, 1915, shortly after his split with First Chief Veuustiano Carranza, has relinquished his military post and turned his command of rebel forces over to the new administration. He has returned to private life in order to resume his campaign for the presidency of the republic. In an exclusive interview with the w-riter Gen. Obregon declared that ic the event of his election as chief executive of the republic of Mexico it will be his paramount aim not alone to establish more friendly and unquestionable relations with the government of the United States and the civilized nations of the world In general, but to give to Mexico a safe, sane, clean and sound administration—in fact, a government such as will command the respect of all the people of the world. 1 OREIGNERS TO HAVE SAFETY, "All foreigners residing In Mexico anj those ioterests having capital invested In the republic will be accorded the sumo protection as is given the Mexican citizens under the constitution, and the law, and the law alone will guide my administration in the event of m.v election to the presidency," continued Gen. Obregon. "Nothing will please me more than to know at the end of my administration that I have succeeeded in re-establigh-lng Mexico's Integrity among the nations of the world; that my revolutiontorn native land has agalu regained her solid financial footing and been eccorded her proper place among the ranks of the respected nations of the world.” Gen. Obregon whs born on Feb. 19, 1880. in the pueblo of Stqulslva, In the state of Sonora. He received his education in the common schools of the state. From early youth it had been his ambition to become one of hia country's military leaders, and it w-as while he was still a young man in the early nineties that he gathered about him a number of Mayo Indians in the vicinity of Stqulslva and formed a company of home guards as a protection against wandering outlaw bands. It was not until some months after the Madero revolution gained strength in Sonora that he joined the rebel movement and with his small command of Mayo Indians as a nucleus went forth to wage war against the government of Porfirlo Diaz and remained in the field Jutll the successful conclusion of the revolution. He then retired to his ranch with his followers, where he remained until advised of Mndero’s assassination by Gen. Vietoriano Huerta, when he again railed his band together to take up arms against the usurper. From that time on Gen. Obregon became permanently identified with the revolutionary party, and it was only after Gen Fasqual Orozco’s treachery in deserting Madero in hia hour of need to take up a bandit's career that Obregon followed him and his men into the wilderness of the north and drove him from the state of Sonora, where he had launched a campaign of murder and depredation. NEVER STRONG ADMIRER. Although Obregon is known to have never been a very staunch admirer of ;be late president, ho was appointed minister of war and marine in Carranza's cabinet as a reward for his victory over Francisco Villa's army at Celaya. during which battle Obregon lost his right arm. After several years, however, friction developed between Carranza and Obregon which ultimately brought about his resignation. He immediately thereafter publicly announced his intention of becoming the candidate of the HberaUat party for the presidency of Mexico. It was this announcement by Obregon, together with the growing dissatisfaction in the ranks of the military, which brought about the final overthrow of the Carranza regime, because of the issuance I i'}' the chief executive of a manifesto ean- ! ceiling the general presidential elections ! called for July, Carranza basing his aci tion on the “unsettled conditions'' preI vailing throughout the republic.

EATS $5,000 MEAL AND DROPS CRUMB ATLANTA, Ga., July 3.—Capt. Rbeba Crawford, Salvation Army lassie, ate the prize meal here. It cost 5,000 plunks cold cash. On the face of that statement. It would appear that Miss Crawford must have consumed about fifty planked steaks gurnlshed with humming bird wings. Nothing, however, could be farther from the truth. What Mias Crawford actually ate was one puny doughnut with an unusually large hole. What Miss Crawford actually drank was one cup of coffee, lukewarm at that. Vet the meal did cost 5.000 bucks. The American legion for It In five new and crisp SI,OOO bills. Mayor Key and Capt. Bill Bailey served It, courteously waiving the 1!) per cent tip of SSOO due them. The whole scene was staged on a truck at Five Points, in the presence of a crowd of several hundred, who watched eagerly while Miss Crawford made away with $5,000 worth of dough and Java. Every now and then a $25 crumb drifted to the pavement, but on the whole Miss Crawford was quite composed over each S2OO bite. Afterward she remarked tbfft it was pretty good chow, but she had tasted better for two bits at local cafeterias. The stunt was part of the program for “Legion day’’ In the Salvation Army's $50,000 campaignThe idea was that the Salvation Army doughnuts and coffee were worth more than millions to members of the legion while they were in France, and they would prove the fact by buying the doughnut and coffee from the army for $5,000 now. The price was raised In cash contributions among the 2.5<i0 members of the legion in Atlanta, and was paid promptly on the spot to the army. Indianapolis Scouts to Join Summer Camp About seventy-five Indianapolis Boy Scouts will join the second summer camp Monday at Camp Chank-Tun-Un-Gl, the Boy Scout reservation near Ft. Harrison. F. O. Belzer, Indianapolis scout executive, assisted by Ernest Hoelscher; assistant physical director of the Indianapolis cl y schools, and other scout masters of the local troops, will be In charge of the boys during the two weeks' camping period. Athletic, educational and recreation classes will be formed. The executive council will meet with the Scouts Thursday evening, special PUdb for a camp supper having been made.

NUGGET IN DUCK CROPSTARTS RUN Gold Rush Follows Finding Pay Dirt in Fowl. CALGARY, Alaska, July 3.—An April Fool’s Klondike —that’s what the wiseacres call it. And It was caused by a goose supported by a duck, which ought to cinch it. But others are not so sure. It may be a real gold 3eld. ' A Calgary butcher bought some geese from a farmer on Snake creek near De Winton, twenty miles south. Two sizable gold nuggets were found iu the crop of one of the geese when it was killed. ? A little later, the butcher bought some ducks from the same farmer. Another gold nugget was found in the crop of a duck. The butcher consulted a man who had invented a gold separating machine. The two hurried to the farm. They brought back a quantity at gravel and sand which they had scooped up by hand along Snake creek. City Chemist Field found it contained $18.30 worth of gold per cubic yard, figuring the value of gold at S2O an ounce. The news leaked out and a mad rush of people from Calgary started for Snake creek. Excited argonauts on foot, horseback and In automobiles clattered up the roads. Snake creek, they found, was only two miles long It rises In a spring and meanders; through a coulee mostly on the ranch 1 of C. G. Beeching. Hundreds of gold hunters staked ; claims. These claim-staking operations contlnued by moonlight all* night. They proved up by digging a lot of j holes. This was on April 1. But none of the potential placer miners thinks of the Snake creeek digging* a* an April fool's Joke. They have faith In their claims. They talk of getting in up-to-date mining machinery. “There's plenty of gold to be got out 1 of the Snake creek country." said Mr. Beeching, "but the best way to get it is with a plow. “It is one of the richest farming regions in Alberta. “I believe all this talk of placer gold is the 'bull,' but there’s a real bull tha; may horn into the romance. "When the argonauts start mining they’d better keep an eye to windward 1 or any old herd leader will give tht:u a run for their golden dreams. "He's a bad actor when he starts." WEALTH OF BILL IS WORRY CAUSE Different Factions Have Different Ends for Coin. BERLIN, July 3.—A great topic of discussion in parliamentary circles is the fate of the ex-kalser's millions. The nationalists assert that it would Indicate fear if the money were not handed over. The socialists, on the other hand, repeatedly suggest that the greater part of the ex-emperor’s fortune should go to the widows and orphans of the war. “Let the nohenzollern fnrnlly earn their living by the sweat of their brow,’’ they say. "Every liohenzolleru i taught a trade." Anew feature is added to the dispute every day. Palaces, plate, linen. Jewelry and forty castles in the country are involved. At a recent sale property belonging to the ex-kaiser realized more than $10,000,000 and it Is estimated that the remaining property of the Hohen aollerns in Berlin alone amounts to 200,000,000 marks (nominally $50,000,000.) “This belongs to me." says the exkaiser, In effect. "It belongs to the state," thunder the socialists; and as soon as the ownership of, say. the palace linen la settled, another little matter crops up involving about $500,000 worth of china. When the ex-kalser’s great grandfather, Frederick William 111, died he left not more than about $200,000 a year in trust for the Hohenzollerns. During his lifetime he managed to rub along on $1,500.000 a year, which Is considerably less than half the sum his great-grandson received as king of Prussia. The ex-kaiser was notoriously extravagant. He began on a "salary” of $4,000,000, in addition to which there was the $2,000,000 a year from the great-grand-father's trust fund His private income amounted to $1,000,000. and shortly before the war the relchstag favored him with a further sum which brought bis yearly income well above a million sterling. When the ex-kaiser's lawyers first submitted their client’s claims to the relchstag the demand* made were partly recognized. Since then the socialist party have accused the ex-kaiser of wishing to embarrass the state, and they have raised the question of the origin of the millions of marks which the fallen ruler claims to be his. A bill is shortly to be brought up In the reichstng, but, in face of the socialist party's question, "Where do the exkalser's millions come from?” Its fate is in the balance.

Fight Prison for Expectant Mother BOSTON. July 3. —No woman who Is a prospective mother should be sent to prison. That Is the opinion of two Boston women consulted in regard to the sentence imposed upon young Pearl Odell, of New York state. Mrs. Odell has been sentenced to twenty years in the penitentiary for Inciting her husband to kill the man who before her marriage betrayed her. In the opinion of Mrs. True Worthy White, of the League of Women Voters, and Mrs. Marie Dewing Faeten, president of the Professional Women's club. Pearl Odell should not become a mother in prison. Motherhood, they affirm, is more to be considered than a year of the sentence. On the other hand, Alice Stone Blackwell and Dr. Evangeline Young think that being born In prison would not harm the baby. Even Cows Refuse to Drink ‘Stuff’ CADIZ, 0., July 3.—Cows in this vicinity have “gone dry,” Prohibiton is blamed. Due to the dry amendments to the state and federal constitutions several hundred gallons of wine, confiscated by dry enforcement officers from Illegal possessors, were dumped Into a sewer not long ago. The Intoxicating beverage ran into a creek which runs through a number of pasture fields. Asa result of the cows refusing to drink the “spiked” water there now exists a shortage in the milk supply around here. Vets Receive Money Due Half Century LANSING, July 3. —Two civil war veterans, each more than SO, received lid from the state, which was due more than half a century ago, when the board of state auditors granted them their unpaid bounty and interest. They were the oldest of ten who were similarly treated at tbs sam session.

LEFT HUSBAND TO BOOST HIM; HE GOT DIVORCE Metropolitan Singer Now Seeks Freedom From Rich Silk Man. SAYS ITS BEST AT TIMES NEW YORK, July 3.—“ Tales of Hoffmann" has no more mellifluous melodies than the notes of harmony that prevailed In a young singer’s household ten years ago, when her husband's family suggested that he -ad she could get ahead in the world better if they were to separate. Louis Hoffman was a bookkeeper and his wife a singer of promise before her marriage. They had two Children. Hoffman today is wealthy, bead of a silk company. Mrs. Hoffman has been for some time a member of the Metropolitan Opera Company. They have been apart ten years. Theika Hoffman never censured her husband for his stand in the matter till a registered letter came to her home in November, 1919, telling her Hoffman had obtained a divorce from her in the state of Pennsylvania on the ground of desertion. "I could endure anything but that,” she said recently. “I agreed that we might get ahead J better if we separated for the time. “I kept the children with me, my busj band giving each of them $lO a week. “He gave me nothing. "I was happy, though, to be able to : help myself "I got into the chorus at the Metropoll- • tan. AGREED WITH HUBBY'S MOTHER. “I agreed with his mother when she \ came to my home and talked to my j mother and myself, saying Louts and I j ought to separate so he could succeed. I “I saw their side of the question and i agreed “There had never been any quarreling I or dissension In our home. ! "Everything was decided agreeably. I ! little dreamed how things would turn I out. | “I am suing now for separation on j the ground of cruel and inhuman treat- ; ir.ent. j "But still I am of the opinion that a person can travel faster alone--w(t-nes* my husband's rise in business, not having me to care for. "For some time he has not provided for the children, either. "Emma Cecelia is 22 now —and Florence August Is 25." In her complaint Mrs. Hoffman, or , Xlme. Hoffman as she is known at tlie Metropolitan, cites as one of hi* acts j of cruelty her husband's alleged unfalthi fulness with other women. CALLS HIS WEDLOCK i ONLY PRETENSE. ! "Taking the ground that his marriage to another woman is only a pretene of a marriage and constitutes ground for ‘ divorce In this state. "My husband tried to get our two children to go to his new home and meet his new wife. 1 "What torture for me that was." ! "But don't you think it would be better to nave kept your husband, home and children together all these years?" "Not necessarily,” she replied thoughtfully. "Certainly not from Mr. Hoffman's standpoint. ! "His success would not have come so iquickly. I think a separation Is a good thing sometimes. j “I always was agreeable In regard to any change he suggested. "It is cruel that he should bTe abused my confidence and kindness by securing a divorce from tae in another state. "But you see there was another woman—what a difference the other woman makes In a man. "How they forget everything when the other woman beckons.” SELF-SACRIFICE FOB WOMEN WISE? The story of Mrs. Hoffman's alleged wrongs raises the question whether selfsacrifice is wise for a woman. ! li.fs a wife who permita her husband to separate from her, tacitly acknowledging herself to be burdensome, the right Ito expect that she can hope for fair treatment ? I Men have a way of taking a woman at the value she places on herself. If a woman admits to her husband that she is un incumbrance and that he could rise to great heights without her. the chances are that he will believe what she ' says. For what purpose does a man wish to succeed if not to make his dear ones jhappy? Some such Incentive goads every man jon to greater effort. Once the direct Incentive Is removed, ; trust to masculine instinct to replace it immediately. It would behoove every wife who loves her husbßnd and doesn't wish to court cruel treatment, not to let her lord and master regard her ss an incumbrance, but to strive to make him value her as a precious being, to serve whom is a privilege. The very best of women are on this point of sacrificing themselves. If Mrs. Hoffman's separation from her husband i ten years ago had this idea alone as ita j basis, then it was a mistake.

Find Hoosier Taxes Are Collect According to George W. Spencer, acting internal revenue collector for Indiana, reports from over the state brought In to the conference of the ten internal revenue district chiefs of Indiana In session today, show but little trounie Is being experienced in the collection of dej iinquent taxes on soft drinks and other confectioneries, Jewelry, theater tickets I and other luxury taxes.
