THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

COURT HOUSE NEWS IN BRIEF

(Continued from Page One)

not be asked to pay for some little cross-road that is seldom used and benefits but two or three people. County Commissioner Charles Welch and George of Carpenter township attended a large and enthusiastic road meeting at Monticello Thursday night in the interests of a state highway from Logansport to the Illinois state line. While the primary purpose of the meeting—which was addressed by L. H. Wright of the state highway commission —was to boost for a state road between these three county seats, the boosters became so enthusiastic that it was thought the road should go on to Ft. Wayne, and a committee was appointed to confer with the counties on east and north as to their desires. Messrs. Welch and Butt are earnest supporters of a north and south state highway through Jasper county, and while Newton county has taken steps to boost the “Adeway,” it is hoped to convince the state road officials of the advantage of our Jackson 'highway, which would connect our county seat with that of Lake.

SEEK YANKEE MATES

AMERICANS BESIEGED BY HUNGARIAN FAMILIES, REPORT. Royalist* Wish to Retrieve Their Fortune*—Noblemen are New Pauper* —Count Karolyi Beg*. Vienna, April' 18.—Foreigners, especially Americans, are receiving attractive marriage proposal* from families of wealthy young Hungarian women, who expect by this means to save something from the wreck of their fortunes because of the fact that foreign property will be exempted from nationalization. Women who marry foreigners will be enabled to trafe) freely over the frontiers with their families. There is a disposition on the part of the v new government, however, to allow middle-class Hungarians to leave, provided they do not take property with them. The condition of many Hungarians who have fled to Vienna Is one of abject poverty. Count Alexander Esterhazy, who lost his son In the war, and who wns with former Emperor Charles until the latter went to Switzerland, Is finding means of subsistence by selling the furniture of his house here. He has already sold his clothes. It is estimated there are only 20 naturalized Americans nnd American wives of Hungarians In Hungary. It’ Is possible that an effort will be made to send food there. There Is little meat and jfw vegetables in the hotels or mnyfcet here. When Count Karolyi was In Vienna he called on Prof. Philip Brown, secretary of the AmerfCafTlnission here, and told him that he would be glad to accept a can of condensed milk.
