Henry F. Hollls, former United States j
Senator from New Hampshire, hid be
hind a mask of rage to-day when Thi |
New York Herald correspondent sought I
?n answer from him to declarations that j
the Bulgarian Government did not
recognize his divorce from Grace Bruer
tc.n Fisher-Hollis.
"I'll not talk about the divorce or
anything connected with it," roared ex
Senator Hollls. "It's damnable "
and here the ex-Senator slammed his
office door In the reporter's face.
To his friends here ex-Senator Hollis
offers no explanation of the Bulgarian
system beyond the assurance that, all
If right ; and that such a lawyer as
former Senator James Hamilton I-.ewis
of initio's knows that the tequlrements
were fulfilled. At present, however, no
one here seems to have obtained a
glimpse of the Bulgarian decree.
Sofia, April 19 (Associated Press).?
The Uepar.nient of Keligion and Educa
tion of the Foreign Office has advised
the Bulgarion legation In Washington
fliat the divorce Issued to former Sena
tor Hollls by the pastor of the Unitarian
Church at Dubnitza is not officially
recognixed by(the Bulgarian State and
possfsses no legal force.
The religion department denies having
given official approval to the divorce
papers, and the Government is institut
ing proceedings against Pastor Toplisky,
who granted the divorce.
(Jr. 'OobtMief. professor of canonical
law at Sofia University, declares the
divorce Invalid by virtue of the Bulga
rian laws. He points out that Bulgarian
religious authorities have not the power i
to annul a marriage concluded ch Illy
either :it home or abroad, and says that
ojilv (he civil authority which executed
eVieh a marriage can annul It.
The Bulgarian newspapers are print
ing long articles commenting upon the
strangeness of the case. Mr. Hollls Is
well known here, as he had represented |

He admitted, but did no boasting
about it, that he is a cousin of Viscount
Lascelles, who married Princess Mary,
and that his father is A. M. Mills, Eng
lish banker; that he weighed 280 pounds,
which, he expressed in "stone," and* that
his chief object In coming" to America
Is to get "thrills," having found England
rather tame. Being a bachelor of 35.
with no strong home ties, he also would
like to take a peep at the Amerlccn
flappers and other interesting Yankee
girls and women. He has been every
where except in North and South Amer
ica and had reserved the States to cure
him of that blase feeling that he feared
might be coming on when he decided to
take the Olympic.
The Captain has a ranch in Australia
and he went from that country as a
sergeant when the war came, waa
wounded twice and was made captain
for gallantry and efficiency.
As to his Australian ranch. It was
not so big an some others, and he did
not personally manage it, being ambi

"To be quite frank," he said, "1 am not
a millionaire, but if one of my calves
breaks a leg I don't have lo worry
about it."

DISAVOWED BY FORD
Writes to Mellon That He
Never Saw Book Containing
Such Statement.
Special Dispatrh >o Tub New Yoik Herai.d.
Dbtroit, April 19.?A dispatch from
Washington says Henry Ford never has
seen the book entitled "The Truth About
Henry Ford," nor did he authorize its
publication, consequently he feels 110 re
sponsibility for its circulation or state
ments it may contain
"This is the automobile manufac
turer's answer to a letter which Secre
tary Mellon wrote to him recently in
quiring about a statement tl>at i\lr. Ford
had returned war profits amounting to
$29,000,000 to the Government of the
United States," the dispatch continues.
"When the book, which was written by
Sarali T. Bushnell, first appeared it
caused considerable comment in Wash
ington for it contained the direct state
ment that Mr. Ford had refunded all his
war profits to the Government.
"The Treafcury Department promptly ;
announced that there was no record of j
any such payment, and naturally there >
was considerable Interest in the matter.
Secretary Mellon Anally wrote to Mr. I
Ford for Information as to how the al
leged $29,000,000 donation to the Gov
ernment stood from his point of view.
"In his letter to Mr. Mellon Mr. Ford j
makes no claim that the refund was
made as alleged In the book. He simply |
declares he did not authorize the state
ment about his refund of war profits. 1
consr-quently he feels no responiflblllty 1
for it.
"On January 14. 1919. before a Sen- i
ate committee which was investigating 1
war contracts Alfred Liucking. Ford's j
attorney, said his client would refuse
personally to accept a cent of profit
from his various war contracts."

CARLTON ANNOUNCES
CABLE TO GERMANY
New Line to Have Eight to Ten
Times the Capacity of
the Old.
A cable of a capacity eight or ten
times that of old cables is to be laid be
tween New York and Emden, Germany,
by way of the Azores. Newcomb Carlton,
president of the Western Union Tele
graph Company, announced yesterday
011 his arrival here from Germany.
Mr. Carlton said that engineers of the
Western Electric and the American Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company had
been working for years on the highly
technical problem of improving and
speeding uji cable communication. The
new cable and its equipment are due
to the engineers' efforts. The new cable
will have a capacity of from 40.000,000
to 50,000.000 words a year, as compared
with 5,000,000 words a year in the old
cables.
Arrangements for the new cable have
piactically been completed between the
Western Union and the new German
Atlantic Cable Company. Mr. Carlton
said that preliminary work between
New York and the Azores, a distance of
2,400 miles, has already been started.
It is estimated that this stretch of the
cable will be completed by the summer
of 1923. He paid he did not know when
the 2,000 miles of cable from the Azores
t-> Emden would be ready.
"We experienced no opposition from
foreign countries in tlie proposal to lay
this cable," he explained. "In fact, they
wore all eager for it. The day of special
concessions iins passed and this is in no
v/ise a monopoly. The wireless system
instead of hurting our business will
help it."

ANARCHISTS TO GET
LIBERTY ON APPEAL
Ferguson and Ruthenber? Or
dered Released in Bail
From Sing Sing'.
Isaac E. Ferguson, rormer Chicago
lawyer, and Charles E. Kuthenberg,
once Socialist candidate for Governor of
Ohio, both serving Ave to ten years for
anarchy, were ordered released on bad
yesterday by Judge Cardozo of the
Court of Appeals pending decision on
an application for a certificate of rea
sonable doubt.
Judge Cardozo's order is the result
of an unusual course taken last Satur
day by Ferguson. He was permitted to
leave Sing Sing and appeur before the
Judge in his private chambers at 51
Chambers street to argue for their lib
erty pending outcome-of their appeals.
The two men were convicted of crim
inal anarchy in 1920 for the publication
of alleged anarchistic writings in the
Revolutionary Age of July 5, 1919. or
gan of the Communist party. The men
were Bald to have had some official con
nection with the periodical.
Judge Cordozo's opinion said:
"1 And there is reasonable doubt
whether the statute has been properly
construed. The appeal brings up the
question whether the prohibition of writ
ings advocating anarchy, that is, the de
struction of all government, is equiva
lent to the prohibition of writings advo
cating sedition or revolution, resulting
In a change of government, as, for ex
ample, a change from a republic to a
monarchy or from one form of republic
to another.
"It brings up also the question of
whether the advocacy of a general strike
as a. probable forerunner of such a
change is advocacy of the change
through the adoption of 'unlawful
means.'" /
On Saturday, according to John C.
Myers, Assistant District Attorney in
tiie Appeals Bureau, Judge Cardozo will
entertain a similar application on be
half of Benjamin Gitlow, another of
those convicted at the same time.
It is believed that similar action will
be taken by James Larkln. Irish hkI
tator, who also was convicted before
the late Justice Bartow S. Weeks of the
Supreme Court. His release has been
urged strongly by a group of his per
sonal friends and Irish sympathizers.
When Judge Cardozo considers Git
low's application next Saturday he will
hear argument on the amount of bail
to be fixed for the release of Ferguson
and Ruthenberg.
