CARDINAL_ G <. PRI Pope Benedict is working daily with Cardinal Gasparri, papal secre- | tary of state, on an allocution which he will deliver in a secret consistory on December 4. This allocution will | be one of the most important docu- ments issued by the papacy since the | beginning of the war. The allocution will show, it is said, the perfect impartiality of the holy see, which desired altogether to pre- ! vent the war, but, ha¥ing failed, used all means at its disposal to shorten the conflict, meanwhile making ar- rangements to alleviate the sufferings caused by the war without any - dis- tinction of nationality or creed of the belligerents. The allocution, it is re- ported, will make another desperate appeal in favor of peace, inviting the faithful throughout the world to con- ‘tinue their prayers with that as the object. The death of Emperor Francis Jo- | seph of Austria-Hungary and the as- |.cession to the throne of jEmperor Charles have obliged the pope to make alterations in his allocution. He will speak of the life of the emperor, his attachment to religion and the church, and he will express the hope that the reign of the new ruler may soon be crowned with the blessing of peace.

Tomorrow evening the assessment committee will hold a meeting at the mayor’s office and it is hoped that every member will attend. This meetings, but as yet has not had any sufficiently large attendance to or- ganize. . One of the principal matters that this committee has in mind is a re- vision of the present city assessment plans. Plans looked upon with more or less favor by the members of the committee are similar to those worked out in Pittsburgh where 1t was found necessary to readjust the assessment plan that a fair tion of tax assessment might made- -~ According to the general plan in mind the idea would be to do away with the present system of the board of assessors and make the board one on which the members would be per- manently engaged. This, of course, would necessitate the paying of high- er salaries but it is argued that the increased expense would-he more than off set by the increased taxes that would follow an efficient campaign of readjustment. The outlined plan would do away entirely with the two taxing districts and tax all property on an eighty per cent. basis of its actual worth. For instance, if a man bought a piece of vacant property in a certain section for $800 and held it, while owners of property all around him built nice houses, the value of that particular community would be greatly in- cremsed. As a result the property which cost $800 might actually be worth $1,000. The plan would be to take this price as a basis for the tax- ing. Thus, it is argued, everybody would be paying his proportionate share. \ DINNERS ARE ASSURED. Many Win_Turkeys at Meeting of Sir Francis Drake Lodge, S. of St. G.

REVISIONISTS TO MEET. Charter .Revision .Committee .Will Hold Forth Friday Evening. The charter revision committee will hold another important meeting on Friday evening in the mayor’s office when, the members hope, Corporation Counsel J. E. Cooper will be able to attend.

A number of other matters will come up for dis- cussion, among them presumably the question of a solution of the moving picture censorship as it applies to chil- dren under the age of fourteen years.

The Burritt Agricultural soclety ~vill hold a meeting early next month, the time to be at the convenience of the few remaining members. This society was originally organized by Elihu Burritt and has continued to the present day, the members now be- ing busy formulating plans for a fit- ting memorjal to the “learned black- smith”, which they propose to build with a fund left by him.

Annually, during the holiday season, there is an increase of crime of the pickpocket and second story worker type.

At this time of the vear metro- politan crooks make a practice of taking little busin, trips to, the smaller cities where they find police gilance is less dangerous. This vear, with a particularly dangerous gang of crooks at large in the state, Chief Rawlings plans to use extra precau- tions and ask the co-operation of the public zenerally to make his crusade a success. advises | so that | TO TELT, OF CALIFORNTA.

KILLED FOR WATCH BY HIGHWAYMEN Morris Goldstein of West Haven Blackjacked and Shot New Haven, Nov. 28.—Coroner, Eli | Mix today began an investigation of the shooting and killing of Morris | Goldstein near his home in West Ha- | ven last night. He had before him | Carmino Pisaniello and Carmilo Lan- zillo, both of this city. who were ar- rested in Derby about midnight on suspicion of connection with crime, and who later, according to the Derby police, admitted participa- tion in the affair. According to a confession said to have been made in Derby today by Pisaniello, after severzl hours of se- vere grilling, the motive for the crime was possession of a watch which Luigl Pisaniello, brother of Carmino, de- sired, according to the latter’s state- nient. It was planned to hold up Goldstein and take the watch away without injuring him unless he re- sisted. If he showed fight he was to be shot. Pisaniello’s Statement. Pisaniello said that he, Lanzillo and another man named Frank went to West Haven last night and waited for Goldstein. When he did not ap- pear Pisaniello said he suggested they go away but Lanzillo declared: “I used thirty cents carfare to come here and I got hit thirty times on the head with a blackjack,” Pisaniel- lo continued: “When Goldstein came Carmine pulled out a revolver and blackjack hit him with the blackjack and said, ‘throw up your hands.’ “The Jew hollered and Carmine said ‘shoot him.” I fired into the air to scare him. Frank said he fired twice at the chest and side. When I fired my shot I ran away and the others soon followed. We got a freight train and came to Derby.” The men were arrested as they sat on a railroad trestle at Derby. Frank the third man jumped from the trestle and escaped. Near the place of the arrest the police found a blackjack and two revolvers, one a 38 calibre and the other an army 44, the latter with one empty chamber and the former with two. Two additional arrests were made here today in the case but the police declined to give out the names.
