PRESS WIRELESS BARRED
Peace Treaty Controls Operations
of German Radio Stations.
BERLIN, Jan. 17. Announcement la
made that radio press dispatches to
the United States can no longer be
forwarded through the radio stations
at Nauen and elsewhere, on the
ground that the provisions of article
197 of the peace treaty prohibit the
forwarding of political, military or
naval news.
It is stated that the inter-allied
naval commission notified the German
government that the article was ef
fective. While it is said at the foreign of
fice that Americans will be permitted
to wireless commercial news, this will
first be subjected to a careful scru
tiny, which will likely involve long
delays. The German government's
daily wireless report has also been
abandoned.

hey had found discrepancies of 1900.

ng that amount of money over to

pointed by the board of county com
missioners to succeed him as auditor.
COURT'S MEANING CLEARED
Judge's Statement Xot Intended to
Wrong Mrs. Hunt.
By asserting that "both parties
were at fault" in refusing to grant
C. R. Hunt a divorce from Dorothy
Hunt in the circuit court Friday,
Judge Gatens did not mean to infer
that Mrs. Hunt wa guilty of any
infidelity, such as she charged against
her husband, but merely was em
phasizing the fact that if she had
called her husband a dlry yellow cur
and a "degenerate" as he charged,
and which she denied, it would have
been offset by his conduct with other
women.
Publication of the assertion that
Mrs. Hunt was held to have been
"equally at fault" with -her husband
without explanation of the jurist's
meaning placed Mrs. Hunt in a wrong
position with the public, she as
serted yesterday. She was not
charged with infidelity, though her
answer to her husband's complaint
made such charges against him.
"I have seldom seen a case in which
there has been so little ground for
divorce cited," said Judge Gatens yes
terday. "The trifling charges of the
husband were more than offset by his
conduct.
Mrs. Hunt did not ask a divorce.
