CONVENTIONS MAY RULE BIG STATE RACES Chances Small for Deciding Governor, Senate Fights in Primaries. FILING DEADLINE PAST Hoover-Watson Struggle Only Major Combat Certain to Be Settled. The Watson-Hoover conflict for the presidential preference vote appeared today, with entries closed, to be the only one of the three big party fights certain of decisive settlement in the primary May 8. Governorship races in both parties seemed headed for the State conventions and three-sided senatorial contests were flirting with the same procedure. Eleven Republicans and eight Democrats had filed in the gubernatorial race when the dead line fell in the Secretary of State’s office at midnight Thursday. Three in each party were seeking tire senatorial nomination. Senator James E. Watson and Herbert C. Hoover, Secetary of Commerce, vied for the Republican presidential preference while Evans Woollen made certain of the Indiana Democratic delegation to the National convention by going unopposed for the presidential nomination. The lists as they closed: For President Republican—James E. Watson of Rushville, Ind.; Herbert C. Hoover of Palo Alto, Cal. Democratic—Evans Woollen of Indianapolis. For Senator Republican—Arthur R. Robinson of Indianapolis, Solon J. Carter of Indianapolis, Arthur R. Gflliom of South Bend, Ind. Democratic—Albert Stump of Indianapolis, Walter Myers of Indianapolis and L. William Curry of Indianapolis. For Governor Republican—Frederick E. Schortemeier of Indianapolis, Charles S. Ewry of Portland, Thomas H. Adams of Vincennes, Charles W. Jewett of Indianapolis, Arthur Symmes of Linton, U. S. Lesh of Indianapolis, D. Burns Douglass of Ft. Wayne, Alvah J. Rucker of Indianapolis, Harry G, Leslie of Lafayette, Jesse E. Eschbach of Warsaw, Frederick K. Landis of Logansport. Democratic—Samuel B. Wells of Scottsburg, Frank C. Dailey of Indianapolis, John E. Fredrick of Kokomo, George R. Dale of Muncie, George E. Hershman of Crown Point, Earl H. Crawford of Milton, Olin R. Holt of Kokomo, James Kirby Risk of Lafayette, Eschbach, Landis and Risk were the last to file. Eschbach, long active in Indiana Republican politics, was speakers’ bureau chairman in 1914. He served several terms as State representative and was Speaker of the House. Appointed chief examiner of the State board of accounts, he resigned to enter a Ft. Wayne bank.

Little Nomination Chance Landis was Eleventh district congressman from 1903 to 1907: now editor of the Logansport PharosTribune and a fiery orator and writer. Risk, an active prohibition advocate, was unsuccessful in seeking the Democratic nomination for Governor four years ago when there were eight entries. The most sanguine supporters of gubernatorial candidates see no chance of nominations being determined in the primaries, when the successful candidate must win a majority of all votes cast. Backers of Frederick E. Schortemeier, in Republican ranks, and Dailey, among the Democrats, regard them as the most formidable candidates, but do not discount the “cumulative importance” of the field. In the gubernatorial field, Republican aspirants generally will be expected to extol the virtues c 4 Jackson’s administration while softpedalling its less attractive aspects. This, it has been made clear, is what the Republican State organization requires if its encouragement is courted. Corruption Big Issue Democratic candidates have indicated just as clearly they regard “corruption as the big issue in Indiana.” Adams, Landis and Rucker are among the Republicans who meet corruption charges frankly and may be expected to rival Democrats in the vehemence of their tirades against betrayal of the public trust. Hoover’s entry is not only a serious threat at Watson’s hopes for an Instructed delegation, but will provoke a realignment of Republican forces throughout the State. Hoover’s supporters believe his candidacy will crystallize sentiment for the long-talked-of “new deal.;’ Watson forces profess lfttle concern over the new factor beyond the fact it will force them to devote efforts in Indiana which they expected to save for other States.

REPORT 30 DEAD IN VENEZUELA REVOLT

By United Press BOGOTA, Colombia, March 9. Thirty persons have been killed in Venezuelan disorders in the last few days, according to unconfirmed dispatches reaching Cucuta from Caracas today. This doe snot include six policemen, said to have been lynched by student agitators. Many students have been arrested as esult of the disorders and held in jail. The government is understood to have offered them freedom on bail, but the students declined to negotiate. Stories of the disorders were told here by travelers who crossed the Venezuelan line at Cucuta. They said a strict censorship had been imposed throughout Caracas since the disorders started.

MANY FAMOUS MEN HAVE LOVED AFTER 30, SHAW INFORMS DURANT

By CHARLES G. SHAW

A CCORDING to the able and Dr. Will Durant, love is a hopeless business for him who ultimately has arrived at the great age of 30. To which asseryation I make so bold as to object. I object, what is more, for the following crystallized and, I believe, pertinent reasons: Love, among several hundreds of other things, means understanding, sympathy, and consideration. None of these qualities is in the least peculiar to youth. During adolescent love, jealousies, all too frequently, play unhappy but important roles. Neither of the twain involved is at all sure of the other; indeed, it is rare that either is even sure of him (or her) self.

MILLIONS OF INCOME TAXES STILL UNPAID Rush of Last Four Days to Brings Huge Amount to U. S. Coffers. OFFICES ARE OPEN LATE Collections Behind Total at This Time in 1927, Officials Say. More than $6,000,000 of the $8,000,000 Federal income tax which the Government expects to collect from 100.000 Indiana taxpayers by midnight, jflarch 15, remains to be paid in, according to George L. Foote, acting Internal Revenue Collector. Internal revenue department employes today were making plans for the last-mintue rush between now and closing time Wednesday. Collections are slightly behind those of last year at this time because of necessary delay in sending out blanks. The revenue office in the Federal Bldg., will remain open Saturday afternoon and until 9 p. m. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to accommodate late comers, Foote said. More than half of the income tax collected is received by mail. Millions in Payment The $8,000,000 estimate of taxes to be collected by Wednesday represents the first quarterly payment. Little difference is expected in total figures for this year and last year when $28,000,000 was collected. Exemptions this year are the same as for last year. $1,500 for single individuals and $3,500 for married persons, with S4OO for each dependent. The tax rate, after all deductions and personal exemptions are allowed is 1.5 per cent for the $4,000; 3 per per cent for the second $4,000, and 5 per cent on the remainder. Surtax rates start at SIO,OOO. Deductions allowable usually prove puzzling to the average income taxpayer. Taxes are Deductible Taxes on personal property and real estate paid in 1927 are deductible. So are losses incurred in a transaction entered into for a profit and uninsured losses by fire, storm, shipwreck, flood, frost or theft. Stolen jewelry, but not lost jewelry, may be deducted. Bad debts incurred on money loaned with expectation of repayment also are deductible, although explanation must be made on the return. Deductions may be made up to 15 per cent of net income for contributions to charitable, religious, scient sic, literary, education, or humane organizations. Traveling expenses while on business and depreciation on business property for exhaustion, wear and tear, and absolescence are deductible. The maximum penalty for filing fraudulent returns is five years in prison, a SIO,OOO fine, and 50 per cent of the tax. Indiana ranks fourteenth among the forty-eight States in payment of income tax. This State is considerably higher in automobile tax collections, ranking third. Michigan and Ohio are in first and second place. Lockjaw Fatal After Freezing 7?// I tiiti and I'rcx* MICHIGAN CITV. Ind., March 9. —Hans W. West, 42, Chicago interior decorator, died here Thursday night from lockjaw said to have been caused by frozen feet. West was brought to a hospital here several days ago for treatment of his feet. Tetanus set in Wednesday night.

The Bogota newspaper El Tiempo, quoting some of the travelers, said that the trouble started when about 500 students paraded, singing the Marseillaise and shouting “down with the tyrant Gomez,” the president. The disorders grew T in intensity, travelers told both the United Press and El Tiempo correspondents. Several students were said to have spoken against United States intervention in Nicaragua and also to have voiced fear that foreign exploitation of Maracairo’s oil resources might result in separation of that region from Venezuela. Several students were arrested, the travelers said. Police were said to have fired into a group of the students and this led to the six lynchings, the travelers reported.

Doubt and suspicion is the double-headed issue, a destructive offspring and corrosive to romance. Free from these youthful misgivings, the fellow of middleage necessarily will view matters in a more humane and tolerant light. Forgiveness is begot with years. Love means appreciation. Hie appreciation of youth is never equal to that of middle-age. To a man over thirty, love at once becomes a far more serious undertaking, and, though admittedly a condition less frequently experienced than in the case of a man under thirty, when experienced, cuts deeper into the heart. The yopnger fellow half the time will cajole himself that he is in love. There is no such nonsense for the other. He knows it.

'T'HE assumption that a man over 30 is incapable of love is the assumption that love is a mere flash in the pan, an emotional comet. But love is not a question of a few months. Nor, for that matter, of a few years. Love is the study of a lifetime. Love leans upon beauty. And rare is he who is able to behold in his twenties the beauties that exist for him in subsequent years. The doctor is of the belief, too, that one should marry at the “natural” age—in other words, the “silly” age. Yet would it not seem there are already enough divorces due to “silly” age marriages? Love, for a woman, includes a touch of importance in the man.

DOCTOR HERE SINCE 1883 ASKS DIVORCE

Second Wife, 50, Enters Cross-Complaint for $40,000 Alimony. A divorce suit, involving Dr. Thomas W. DeHass, 2152 N. Meridian St., w T ho has been practicing medicine in Indianapolis since 1883, and his 50-year-old second wife, was in progress today before Superior Judge William O. Dunlavy. The aged doctor brought suit, alleging cruel and inhuman treat-

ployment of father and son in the old Indian Creek mine south of here. During the period covered by the book, miners lived in houses owned by the employing company and patronized a store it operated. At the start of the accounts, father and son were in debt to the company $60.75. That was in April, 1884. In January of the following year the debt had increased to $130.80. During that period neither had drawn a penny of wages, as they ow r ed the company on pay day. In January, 1886, father and son had finally come out on the other side of the ledger, being 97 cents to the good. Rewarded for Finding Bodies By Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., March 9.—A reward of $l5O for finding the bodies of Deputy Sheriffs John Grove and Wallace McClure has been paid to Charles Abdill, Danville, 111.. who announces he will share the money with Ross Clark and Fred Oakwood.

Importance come to few' of us before the first thirty years. st tt n FOR the man over thirty,’ love assumes a soberer and more stable mien. He has trampled further along the road of experience and, hence, all other things being equal, will fail to succumb writh the same degree of ease as his younger brother. Moreover, his falling in love is more exacting. His is the subtler skill also In the tenderness of amour, which art, incidentally, must be learned as all other arts, for while one’s groundwork, garnered in the flush of youth, is indubitably necessary, it is the tecniquue acquired in riper years that lends the essential quality to the prime product. Behind lies that ephemeral

ment, and his w r ife filed cross complaint, asking $40,000 alimony. The trial was started Thursday. Most of the hearing was taken up in the reading into the record of numerous letters from Mrs. DeHass to her husband, and clippings from newspapers and magazines which she sent to him through the mail since their separation more than a year ago. Twenty-three such exhibits were introduced by Dr. DeHass’ attorneys Wednesday. His reply to the cross complaint contended he had paid out an average of $250 to S3OO a month to operate their home, in answer to charges of insufficient funds made by his wife. Other exhibits showed where he purchased one diamond bar pin, costing more than S2OO, and a platinum wrist watch. Some of the letters read into the record suggested the martial rift started when Dr. DeHass deeded to his son, by a former marriage, a lot in Indianapolis. A former suit for divorce was brought by the doctor more than a year ago was dismissed when Mrs. DeHass filed motion for change of venue. Within a few weeks of this dismissal last spring, the present action was bronght. Indications are the case will last the rest of the week.

Mrs. Woods ids said no matter how sorry Lorene feels she must be disciplined severely for the scandal she has brought down on the Woodside household.

period (Dr. Durant's “natural” age), when the first come-thither wink of a shingle-headed flapper caused our hero to swallow his wad of chewing gum, clutch his coat just below the handerchief pocket, and rush headlong to the nearest jewelers. It is a different type of love, true enough, that comes to a man after thirty. But surely i? is solider, saner and stancher type—a love, in fine, that makes for the possibilities of an ever-enduring devotion. In conclusion, I would note the names of a few men over thirty, who, it would appear, most certainly have been capable of falling in love, to wit: Robert Browning at the age of thirty-three; Honore de Balzac, at thirty-four; Otto Ed-

TODD DEFENDS 10-CENT FARE Traction Head Argues Bus Business Insecure. Everything from aviation to Teapot Dome was cited by President Robert I. Todd of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company and the Peoples Motor Coach Company at a public service commission hearing Thursday afternoon to defend his contention of the morning that “bus lines should have 25 per cent” as a “fair” return on investment. The hearing before Commissioner Howell Ellis was on petition of Joseph H. Schaub Jr., and others, asking that the present bus fare of 10 cents be reduced. Todd’s company owns all the lines in the city, having purchased the Peoples company, by permission of the Marion Circuit Court, for $500,000. Even Harry L. Daugherty of Ohio, ousted Harding cabinet member of oil lease fame, was cited by Todd in his contention that the bus business was “uncertain and hazardous” and might not last long. “Daugherty told me that If there was a war the gasoline supply wouldn’t last over three years and if not it wouldn’t be over six years before it will run out,” Todd said. He used airplanes as an example of transportation, other than bus lines, that did not have to furnish their own right-of-way. He admitted that he didn’t know whether or not there were any operating on regular schedule in Indiana. Attorney Harold K. and William C. Batchelder and Frank P. Baker did the questioning for petitioners. David Watson, street car company attorney, represented the bus company. Hearing will be continued at 8:30 a. m., Saturday.
