The maharance, when questioned about her health which had been re- ported as unsatisfactory, said there had been some trouble about which she might have to consult a phy- sician and possibly be operated upon for appendicitis. She hoped the op- eration would be unnecessary. *“I would not like you western peo- {ple to look lightly upon our mar- |viage,” the former ruler said in his talk with the correspondent at the | beautiful chateau at St. Germain, near Paris, where the couple are staying. “Marriage in India is something very sacred and can never be dis- in public. Our marriage ought to be regarded as a symbol of union between the cast and west; a unton that is necessary to both. By marrying the maharance, I have ex- tended my hand to the west and it is for the west to understand this gesture in the right way and to wel- come it."” The bride, who wore a pale green jumper suit and a necklace of pearls, | taking up the conversation from her husband, said: “Do not think that by adopting Hinduism I had to give up Chris- tianity. I have never given it up, Hinduism is one of the oldest and greatest religions of the world and contains all the essentials of other | religions and other philosophies. “Is not every religion the striving of the human soul toward truth and brotherhood? I have found in Hin- | dujsm that striving towards-brother- hood perhdps more than in any oth- er religion, so my change In ligion has not been a moral change for me. ‘Of course there are different rites and customs, but these mean little in comparison to the eternal truth.” ountain trail when a newspaper man and a photographer found him. | The solitary angler was Herbert | Hoover, secrétary of commerce and | 1 republican presidential candidat. und he carried a worn creel slung over his shoulder. At the moment reporters came up- on him yesterday his attitude be- tokened the thought that delegations and balances of power and party chieftalns might take a jump in the nearest sizable puddle 50 far as he was concerned. He was fishin’—pis- catorfally and not politically. Mr, Hoover consented to having his picture snapped in fishing togs, | hip boots and all. He drew in his line, reached into his creel and| pulled out a shinning trout he had 1aken a moment before. “This is the evidence that I really am fishing,” the secretary said. The shutter clicked. | 15 Miles Back | “Tomorrow I am going to fish a | couple of streams about 15 miles| hack in the mountains,” he said. It j get through in time I'll motor down to Washington late in the day. 1'm not traveling on a schedule; this is supposed to be a vacation and when I've rested I'll go back to ‘Washington. “You might have thought we would get away from you fellows up ‘here,” he smiled pleasantly, referring 10 the ncwspaper men, “But that looks to be impossible. There does not seem to be many places left in 1he world where a man can find sol- itude. Intrusion? Certainly not. ll'l part of your job. Glad to see you.” \h.

When asked about plans for the future, Sir Tukoji Rao said he and his wife would stay at St. Germain for a month or two and might go ater to England and America, al- ‘though nothing definite had been de- termined. They intended to return to India for the winter. The correspondent said he was im- pressed by the exceedingly kind and attentive attitude of the former maharajah towards his wife, Frederick Ganon Held On Bad Check Charge Hartford, May 16 (UP)—Fred- erick Ganon, 20, said to be a nephew of the district attorney of Bristol county, Mass., was arraigned here today charged with passing five fraudulent checks totaling $125.
