BRIDE HAS - BITTERNESS

N HER SOUL Comes to Doom With The Defiant Will to Win And Perish (BT S D. WETER) tSTAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE! (Copyright 1922 iy International News Service.) DOORN, Holland. Nov. 4. Princess Hermlne of Reuas, who will be married tomorrow to the former German Kaiser, comes to Doom today not as a happy bride, tut with bltterners in her soul Her Hps will smile as she greets her new Lord and master and reeel'es the congratulations of the PRIJfCESS HEHMIME entourage at the former war lord's castle, but there will be blackness In her heart. The Intensity of the PrlncesV (bitterness is equalled only by her determination to fret even with those who made this day of "joy" one In which she feels that the whole world Is against ber. Hermine to put Jt succinctly came to Doom with the defiant will to win and punish. In a two hour Interview In the drawing room of her castle at Saabor, In Silesia, she had' poured out her heart to the correspondent but begged that tier revelations and her declarations "to get even" not be printed until she left Germany and arrived in Holland . Consequently, her Interview can be given to the public today. The correspondent astked the Prlnces:

N- ,'

V "What about that mysterious

trunk which Is said to have arrived In Doom the other day. It was said to contain the crown which the former kaiser Is personally to place upon your head." A bitter, jerky laugh was the first reaction from the question. For a moment, the princess struggled with herself and then ,no longer able to master the emotion which repeatedly throughout the Interview threatened to overwhelm her, she arwse and joined her hands high above her head. Gazing upward at the ceiling with an air of despair she burst Into tears. Then midst convulsive sobs she exclaimed: 'So that is the latest lie? I suppose they' want to make me out a vain, ambitious creature. What is It you call It in the United States? Oh, yes. 'vamped the kaiser.' A crown? A crown of thorn perhaps. They have already poisoned my wed ding. They have given me a foretaste of hell upon earth." Asked whom she meant by "they" the princess gradually calmed down and explained: "I mean those who, for selfish or sickly sentimental reasons are opposed to our marriage. They have tried to prevent it by every conceivable means but most notably by foul blander and diabolical intrigues. "And, mind you, such cowards are they that did not dare to utter a rep In the presence of the kaiser, but took out all their wrath and venom upon me. "Tea, among those who fought and humliated me are some of the kaiser's own relatives, but they are not the worst. They are fighting and have been doing so more or less In the open. "Chief opposition has come from Fchemers who felt that they would be 'cheated of their spoils' or fear-

II ed for their jobs."

Princess Hermlne's lips tightened, her eyes pashed hatred while she doubled up her Jewelled hands Into two small but angry little fists. "The worst of all the meanest of all, are the Camarilla," she snapped between clenched teeth. "Listen," she leaned forward tensely.: her eves hard and penetrating, "the kaiser today Is just as much Isolated as he was throughout his reign in Germany. He Is Isolated by a cordon of courtesans who fawn upon him and play their own game all the time. They are parasites. They live upon him (the kaiser). They do not roally serve him. They never tell their real opinion, except behind his back." (BULLETIS) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 4. Mri. Catherine Rosier, acquited

WALLACE OBIECTS TO

HAVING

NAME

BOTH BALLOTS SPECIAL TO THE TIMES CROWN POINT. Ind.. Nor. 4. C. W. Wallace, republican candidate for su.eyor. in a communication to the board of election commissioners objects to the placing of his name on the democrat ballot. He states that although he appreciates the endorsement of the democrat party he desires o avoid any legal complications and petitions the election board to place his name solely on the republican ticket. The letter follows: Board of Election Commissioners, Crown Point, Ind. Gentlemen: Allow me to call your attention to the fact that I. C Keller Wallace, of the city of East Chicago, county of Lake, state of Indiana, am the recipient of the nomination for the office of county surveyor on the republican ticket, for the county of Lake, state of Indiana, and as such nominee, my name will appear in the republican column of the official ballot at the coming election. "My attention has been called to i he fact that the county chairman if the democratic ccunty central oirmlttee of this county has also submitted my name as a candidate tor this office on the democratic tallot." "Most assuredly I appreciate the action of the democratic county chairman. However, It is my understanding that under the laws of the state of Indiana a candidate's name can appear only one place on Use ballot, and inasmuch as I am the republican nominee. I request that your honorable body avoid all possible legal complications by permitting my name to appear only In the republican column." Respectfully yours, C. K. WALLACE. POLITICS INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Nov. 4. One Judge of the supremo court and four judges of the appellate court are to be elected next week. Over the election of Hon. W. C. McMahon, a Lake county product, the sta e central committee qualifies him as follows: "Born on a farm In Carroll County, Indiana, 1S58. Educated In the common schools of that county. Central Normal College and University of Michigan. Taught school from 1877 to 1882. Practiced law at Crown Point. 1884 to 1834. Appointed Judre circuit court of Lake and Porter countes January 1902. Circuit judge and exOfficlal Juvenile Judge from 1902 to 1919. Judge of the appellate court since January 1. 1919." In an interesting editorial on Judges and politics, the Indianapolis News says, editorially: "Kour year ago when the Indiana appellate court was reorganized the Judges decided that the people had elected them to attend to business regularly coming before the court. They entered Into an agreement. In accordance with the higher courts' custom, that during their terms of office they would make no political speeches and take no active part In political campaigns. This agreement was kept two years ago and It has been kept again during this campaign Just closing. "It would seem that th? members of the appellate court have separated politics and the Judiciary as well as they could. It has not been easy to resist demands that time be given to political speaking, as judges generally have had experience In making speeches. When the appellate court adjourned for its vacation last July it had caught up with the business before It. Less than four years before, when the agreement had been made to keep out of politics .the work was two yearn behind. Attention to business has brought the court's work up to where It should be. Attention to business by all courts would rer.ult In fewer comr.laints about the law's delays. The appellate judges who have made this record are candidates for re-election. None of them has appealed for support from the stump. They are letting their records make the appeal for their retention on the bench. Under our system the candidates for judges are nominated as representatives of political parties, and their names go on the regular bal lots. The action of the appellate Judges has shown that being thus placed on a party ticket does not necessarily mean that a judicial candidate must take an active part In politics. If there Is no reasonable excuse for a judge neglecting the business of his court while he stumps his district in his own behalf there is mrh 1'ss excuse for a Judge leaving the bench and touring the state in behalf of some other candidate."

DYER HAS IMPORTANT MEETING

DYER, Ind., Nov. 4. Convinced of the inadequacy of an 18-foot road In the face of continually Increasing traffic, the Dyer Civic club, In regular session last night at St. Josephs hall, passed a resolution petitioning the township board to authorize the widening of the present concrete road in the Lincoln Highway that traverses Dyer, to a width of twenty-eight feet. The Improvement contemplates a strip of five feet on each Bide of the present road. Speakers last night pointed out the timeliness of making the Improvement now, rather than at some time In the future. The meeting was well attended by more than sixty of Dyers leading merchants and professional men. Ray Seeley and Robert O'Connor, superintendent of the J. C. O'Connor Construction Co. of Fort Wayne, builders of the Ideal Stretch of Linooln Highway, were among the speakers. Both Mr. O'Connor and Mr. Seeley dwelt on the value In permenency of concrete roads and advocated unstinted Improvement of township highways. Ray Kerger, president of the club, today will mail the petition to the local board asking for the widening of Dyer's main thoroughfare. Late tonight, away up at Winnipeg, Canada, where it's pretty cold, theyll start loading a circus on the train. By tomorrow the train will be on its Journey south headed for Hammond. It Is the famous outfit which is to put on the big circus for Orak Temple at Hammond. The elephants, the trick horses, the bareback riders and trapeze performaners have a long ride ahead of them. They must reach Hammond Tuesday In order to be rested up for the opening of the Shrine circus Wednesday. Arriving in Hammond they will find everything In readiness. In fact It would be all right if they came several days earlier. Today the workmen were finishing construction of the ring In which the circus feats will be staged in the auditorium of the Masonic Temple. Think of It. a regular thirtyeight foot circus ring, with dirt foundation and sawdust. Just like It's under the big canvas top. The ring was laid out on the floor in front of the auditorium stage. The seats which used to be there have bee; removed and circus seats will bo put on the stage. First a heavy plank flooring was laid. It was covered with tar paper. Then tons of clay were packed on this foundation until a firm surface had been provided on which tho elephants will perform and the galloping horses cavort. Thousands of advance tickets have already been sold and salesmen are still In the field. livery day orders for more tickets are received from cities in all parts of Orak's territory. , Beginning Wednesday, there will be f.vo performances daily. The doors open at 1:20 and 7. Tho circus will continue for ten days, Sunday excepted, and wind up Saturday, Nov. 18. At noon Wednesday, the first street parade will announc the opening of the big event. During the engagement Orak will give away costly presents aggregating thousands of dollars. These will Include a Hudson coach, a $350 piano, furniture, clothing, washing machines, vacuum cleaners and other articles. Although a. large adult kangaroo exceeds a full grown man in height and bulk, it is at birth a tiny, almost shapeless mass of flesh, about an inch long, and so delicate and fragile that it can scarcely be handled without injury. Jackson and the company auditor. L. P. Krciser. of Gary, were prrsent These men that have made the Nash famous in this region have and probably will always be feasted by their manager, a regular fellow among them.

ROBERTS PREDICTS VICTOR! i

Republican Majority Tuesday Willbe 10,000to 15,000 He Declares Senator James E. Watson's two days of speech-making in Lake county closed with triumphant meetings last night i East Chicago and Whiting and tonight the campaign will be brought to a close with minor Republican rallies throughout the county. The shouting and the tumult dies, leaving the republicans calmly confident of a decisive victory at the polls Tuesday. Thomas Roberts, chairman of the Republican county central committee, today predicted that the G. O. P. majority in Lake county will be between 10,000 and 15.000. "The size of our majority depends of course upon the weather to a large extent." said Mr. Roberts. "If it is a pleasant day, the majority will mount to 15,000, but If it Is bad weather the vote will consequently be lighter and the majority will probably be 10,000. "As to the outcome there can be no doubt. The present prosperity, firmly founded on a stable Republican administration, protective tariff and the unshackling of business, finds the people very well satisfied. The farmer sees prosperity ahead and the working man has already received increases in wages. "Added to that is the great admiration of the people of Indiana for Albert J. Beveridge. They real, ize that he is one of the greatest statesmen In American life today and that hi, election to the senate add. eatly to the prestige of the state in national affairs." Regarding split ticket voting Mr Robert, said: "Analyzing thete fhlr I Pa,t e'ht J'ear" 1 fln1 at there has not at any time been 600 difference between the highest vote on the ticket and the lowest. There Is every reason to believe that this precedent will be followed next Tuesday. I am confident that It will be a straight ticket vote that will be cast." BEVFiRIDCE'S STAtfD OX BONUS Beveridge's flat-foot.d ,..v -Senator Watson on the bonu, has 1 maiiA A thmtan ... - . . vines lor nim in Lake county, political sooth-sayers declare. Speaking at Alexandria Ind.. to the American Legion, last night. Beveridge declared: "We must make good our pledges to the soldiers. Every other allied government has given Its soldiers a bonus except the United States." The big appal. however, ls the Beveridge platform of Americanism. Every man and woman In Lake county approves of his stand against international politics and foreign alliances. They believe he is a sane man to hare at Washington and one who will not be swept off his feet by the propaganda of International bankers who are trying to involve the United States in Europe's troubles and cancel the debts of the allies in order to get their billions back that they loaned during the war. "Every dollar of the debts of the allies to the United State, mu.t be paid." Beveridge declared. Tho courage which Beveridge displayed when he attacked the Adamson law and the labor board at a meeting of railroad union men has won him admiration. A man with courage to do that will never retreat from a principal in the United States senate and will fight against any edds for Justice, it Is declared. WOMEN SPEAKERS ACTIVE The closing campaign has been featured by the activity of the able women Republican speakers who are urging the women to get out and vote. At meetings in the cities and rural communities of the county, the women speakers, including Mrs. Betsy Ross of Gary, Mrs. W. J. Whlnery, Mrs. Frank Sheehan. Mrs. William Meyers, Mrs. Howard Stevens and Mrs. Mary Stover Hay, the latter county chairman, have made splendid public speecnes, telling the women that if suffrage is to be Justified by public opinion they will have to vote and show their appreciation of the equality of citizenship with the men. Senator James E. Watson gave two excellent speeches last night, the first in the Lyric theatre at East Chicago and the second at Whiting. SCHOOL HEAD Real executive worth of L. L.

It ls significant that no attempt was made to send this circular through the mails, as a federal prison sentence is imposed where the federal statutes regarding obscene matter are violated.

Revenue Collector Plans to Force All Convicts to Meet Penalties

The government ls going to tighten down the screws on "bootleggers" through the internal revenue department, M. Burt Thurman, collector of internal revenue for Indiana, said yesterday. Orders were issud o every deputy collector In the state to see that convicted bootleggers are made to pay the government tax on liquor manufactured In the Btate. This amount will reach $4,000,000 In Lake county alone, it ls reported. Notices from Washington, Mr. Thurman pointed out, requires the assessment of 112.80 on each gallon of Intoxicating liquor manufactured and In addition a penalty of $2,000 may be assessed, under the provisions of the Federal law, for manufacturing or selling intoxicating liquor without a government license. Mr. Thurman indicated that this provision of the Federal statute will be enforced throughout the state in conjunction with other laws which may trip up bootleggers. He said that Federal liquor law violators will be given an opportunity to "come clean" with the government and make any offers to pay thy required taxes. Such offer, he said, woud also be approved by tha prophibition director and the district attorney. ALL CONVICTED MUST PAT. The tax and the penalty, Mr. Thurman pointed! out, apply not only to those who may be convicted In the future, but also to thosfl who have been convicted in the past. Mr. Thurman said that the law provided for filing of warrants of distraint, placing a Hen against the property of the law violators, which liens, he said, are never outlawed. No figure, are available of the amount of back taxis that could be collected under the provision of the internal revune law, but it ls said that it would run into millions of dollars. Estimates made by A. Dick Maddox, deputy collector of Internal revenue at Gary and Hammond, showed that from Lake county alone the tax and the penalties would net the government $4,000,000. Mr. Thurman Indicated that unless offer, were made within a short time by law violators to compromise payment of taxes In cases where there 1. insufficient property involved, hearings would be held to fix the liability of the defendant to pay the penalty. The decision of the Internal revenue department to carry on a vigorous campaign against law violators ls expected to drive into the open many cases previously "covered up." JAMES M. TURNER FOR ASSESSOR Jame. M. Turner, Democratlo Coalition csndldate for Township Assessor, is not only one of Hammond's most esteemed citizens, but he is well qualified for the office. Before locating here, he was County Superintendent of schools for four years in Ohio county, Ind. He was auditor 6th Internal Revenue District from 1S94 to 1900 and for many years was head Accountant for the Hammond Distilling Company. He has lived in the 7th ward on Truman avenue for twenty years. Mr. Turner can be safely Intrusted with the lmportat duties of asseIng the property of North township and he will eliminate much of the inequalities of assessment which work a hardship on the average taxpayer.
