News of the By Associte OF McAULIFFE NOT LIKELY TO EFFECT CASE AGAINST GIARDINO BROS. NEGRO LYNCHED FOR Funeral Services for For- mer Prohibition Enforce- ment Officer Will Be Held Monday Morning. Attorney for Local Men Expresses This Opinion, Although He Could Not Be Positive That the death of former Prohibi- tion Officer Thornfas McAuliffe may not affect the charges against Charles and Sam Giardino, proprietors of the Hotel Grand of this city, is felt by many, although this is by no means certain. The Giardino brothers were arrested early in October on an ac- cusation of being implicated in the charges of bribery preferred against McAuliffe, Both men were released on which still stands, pending the position of the McAuliffe case. alleged bribe was said to have been given to McAuliffe to influence his actions in the enforcement of the law against liquor traffic, and the Giar- dino brothers were accused of being implicated in the giving of the bribe. State's Attorney Silent. State’s Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn stated this afternoon that he was not prepared to make any statement at this time, although Atorney M. W. Broder, who represented the Giardino brothers, said he did not think the death of McAuliffe would have any bearing on his clients’ case, although he was not sure without further con- sideration. A. H. Harris, a local truckman, is held. as a material witness in the same case, Alcorn Will Retire. Inasmuch as Mr. Alcorn was en- gaged as an assistant United States district attorney to prosecute the Mc- Auliffe case only, it is expected he will tender his resignation this com- ing week. McAuliffe’s death leaves him at least technically innocent. A state- ment issued by Assistant District At- torney Smith last night states that the case is closed. “There is nothing more to be done,” said Mr. Smith. “He had entered a plea of ‘not guil- ty’ in both courts. So far as the cases have gone, that is where they stand on his side. A man stands in- nocent in the sight of law until he is proven guilty.” “I am sorry,” said Attorney Henry J. Calnen. *“I wish it would have been otherwise. I wish he would have lived to face trial and to have had the issue settled. He wanted to go to trial:from the first. He has maintained his innocence from the first.” The bonds will be returned. Funeral Monday. Hartford, May :20.—Arrangements for the funeral of Thomas I* McAu- liffe, former prohibition enforcement officer of Connecticut, who died in St. Raphael's hospital, New Haven, I'ri- day evening, were announced this afternoon. The funeral will be held Monday at 9 a. m. at higsate home, 275 Holcomb street, and at 9:40 at St. Joseph's cathedral. Delegations from the Knights of Columbus, Orioles, the Michael Davitt club will attend. Burial will be in Mount St. Benedict cemetery. Cancer Causes Death. Mr. McAuliffe died at 7:45 o'clock last night at St. Raphael’s hospital in New Haven. Death was due to a malignant cancer of the face, Mr. McAuliffe having previously submitted to an operation for the remoavl of lfis entire lower jaw in a desperate at- tempt at saving his life. His fatal ailment was caused, it is said, by an infected tooth which caused the jaw bone to become diseased. It is said that Mr. McAuliffe was told plainly by his attending sur- geons that he had not long to live and it was with this information in mind that he consented to the final operation which would have left him powerless to articulate but which, it was thought might prolong his life somewhat, Furthermore, those who were close- ly associated with Mr. McAuliffe, say that he maintained his innocence to the end, denying most emphatically that he was guilty of any wrong-doing in office.

Mack | POLIGEMAN'S DEATH Infuriated Mob Drags Vic- tim From Jail and Riddles Him With Bullets Texarkana, Tex, May 20.—This city was quiet today following the lynching last night of Hullen Owens, negro by a mob who took him from the Miller county jail on the Arkansas side where he had been confined fol- lowing the fatal shooting of R. C. Choate, Arkansas policeman. Au- thorities have made no announcement concerning an investigation. Owens who had been arrested Thursday night on a charge of theft, was trying to escape after havink been taken out of the jail by the of- ficlals and killed Choate as the latter attempted to prevent his escape. The negro, suffering from a gunshot wound in the face, inflicted by Chief of Police Lummus fled and attempted to drown himself. He was rescued and taken to a hospital. The threatening attitude of a crowd that gathered about the hospial caused the removal of the negro to the jail. The doors of the jail were battered down after Sheriff Strange refused to give up the keys to the mob which had followed him. Muni- cipal Judge Barney was told “this is no time for pretty talk’” when he appealed to the crowd to disperse. Owens was dragged from his cot with a rope and taken to a park in the heart of the city, where he was riddled with bullets. The mutilated body was then dragged to an open space near the union depot and placed on a large quantity of kerosene- soaked blazing fuel.

Stamford, May 20.—Mrs, Myra Cas- sard told Coroner Phelan at the in- quest into the killing by her machine on Thursday of Evelyn Austin, that she was not driving over 20 miles an hour and probably not over 15 miles when the Austin girl and Jessie Price were struck. Mrs. Cassard's mother, Mrs. Mary Eaton, and her three chil- dren corroborated the testimony. William Price, whose daughter Jes- sie is in the hospital with a broken skull, declared that Mrs. Cassard had the reputation of being a fast driv- er. This Mrs. Cassard denied, claim- ing she was a careful driver. She said that on approaching the two girls she turned slightly to the left to pass them safely. The girls lifted their umbrella and then ran to the right and in front of the machine. Coroner Phelan reserved decision and continued the case until May 29, with Mrs. Cassard's bond of $2,500 remaining in effect.

DEMANDS MORE PAY IF HE HAS T0 DO PERSONAL TAX JOB Loomis Declines to Take on Added Dnties Withont 'RUTH AND OTHERS ARE Compensation ASKS $300 AND RIGHT T0 ENGAGE MORE HELP Mayor Paonessa Says That Several Weeks Ago Regular Tax Collector Agreed to Do Work Without Extra Remuneration—Latter Gives Out Letter Explaining His Stand on Matter. Following closeup on the announce- ment that Personal Tax Collector J. Willie Mills will relinquish his city job on Monday, comes the personal statement from Tax Collector Berna- dotte Loomis will not take over this department of city tax collecting un- less there is more pay forthcoming. Hints at Politics. ‘While he did not make it as a di- rect statement, Mayor A. M. Paon- essa said this morning that he had heard that efforts of a political char- acter have been employed by friends of Mr. Mills to persuade Mr. Loomis to decline the work. Mayor Paonessa said that whether or not Mr. Loomis would accept the place, Mr. Mills’ duties as tax collector would cease on Monday. Loomis Agreed, Mayor Says. According to Mayor Paonessa, a conference was held with Mr. Loomis three weeks ago, and it was agreed by the latter that he would accept the personal tax job, without added com- pensation to the $3,000 salary he now receives. The mayor added that should the tax collector now feel that the duties were such as to require more money, he could have action taken or. a proposed increase through the common council. During his campaign Mayor Paones- sa urged the consolidation of the two tax offices in many of his speeches and it was one of the main planks in his platform. In discussing the sit- uation this morning, the executive said that other cities in the state collect the taxes through one office, and, as he views it, there is no reason why it cannot be done here. Loomis Wants More Money. On the other hand Tax Collector Loomis this morning said that he had not accepted the office, and that he did not feel disposed to do so unless there is added compensation allowed for with the added _duties. Nr. Loomis claims that at the time he discussed the amalgamation of the two offices, he had received an as- surance that he would get at least one-half what the present incumbent receives in salary for his' work. This afternoon Tax Collector Loomis stated to the Herald representative that he would not accept the duties of personal tax collector unles he re- ceived at least $300 and the right to appoint extra help during the year when the occasion demands. Ac- cording to Mr. Loomis, he discussed the matter of taking over the personal tax collections with Mayor Pgonessa three weeks ago. He said that at the time, he believed that before any ac- tion was taken, another conference would be held in regard to the pro- posed change. Mr. T.oomis said he prepared the following letter which would explain his stand in the mat- ter though he did not tender it to the mayor: ‘“To His Honor, ngelo M. Paonessa, Mayor of the City of New Britain: “My Dear Mayor—In reply to your request that I take over the collec- tion of the personal tax, would sgv that personally T would prefer not o handle it in my office. Tt is very clear that when the legislature did away with the poll and military taxes, in 1911, and substituted the personal tax, with a special provision for the appointment of collectors, that they did not intend that the tax should be collected by the property tax collec- tor. However, as you have made, an issue of the matter, in your recent campaign, 1 would certainly like to help you to fill your promise to the people, and at the same time, do my share for the city in the matter of economy. You must realize, however, that it will greatly increase the work and responsibilities in my office. I would expect only a nominal fee for myself, $300, with authority to ex- pend not more than $1,000 for extra help per year. This would cut the expense of collecting the tax more than 50 per cent. “Hoping this arrangement will re- ceive your hearty approval, “I remain very truly yours, “BERNADOTTE LOOMIS." Practically all of this year's tax has been collected by the present in- cumbent, and all that remains for the new collector to do between now and next November, is get the delin- quents in line. Paonessa’s Sfand. Mayor Paonessa said this afternoon that he would probably hold a con- ference with Tax Collector ILoomis, relative to his assuming the duties as personal tax collector. The mayor insists that Mr. Looomis at the con- ference three weeks ago, agreed to take over the duties of the office without any personal remuneration He would not, however, make any in- timation as to what he intends to do should the tax collector decline to ac- cept the new du JAPAN RATIFIES Tokio, May 20 (By Associated Press)—The Shantung agreement ne- gotiated with China at the Washing- ton conference was ratified today by Japan.

The home run king is eligible to start his drive for 1922 slugging hon- ors in this afternoon’s game with the 8t. Louis Browns at New York. The telegram from Ruth and Meusel was received at the commis- sioner's office about 8:50 a. m.

Hagerty, Proprie- tor, Arrested—24 Kegs Beer Confiscate.d. As a result of a sensational and unexpected raid conducted by State Policeman Philip Flynn, Sergeant William McCue and Policeman Thom- as Feeney of the local force at the Spring Bottling Works at 54 Spring street yesterday afternoon, John F. Hagerty, proprietor, was in police court this morning charged with a violation of the liquor law. The specific charge against Mr. Hagerty was ‘reputation and keeping with intent to sell” and his case was continued for one week, during which time the authorities will have the confiscated beverage analyzed to as- certain whether or not its alcoholic content is greater than permitted by law. Stumbles Onto Evidence, The raid came about suddenly and without previous plans by the police. State Policeman Flynn was headed for New Britain yesterday afternoon on an entirely different mission when he chanced to notice the Spring Bottling Works' truck, heavily loaded, round-| ing the corner at Corbin’'s corner. He | stopped the cgr, quizzed the driver and examined the load, which he judged to be beer. The arrest of the driver and confiscation of the truck and contents followed. Hastening to this city, the state policeman secured a warrant for the search of Hagerty’s business premises and with Sergeant William McCue and Policeman Feeney, visited the| place. More Kegs Seized. According to the report made by the raiders, the bottling works oper- ated in the manufacture of alleged beer. Loaded kegs and cases were piled up, awaiting shipment, the po- lice say. According to statements made by the officials, there has been a suspicion for some time that Hag- erty was making beer and shipping it to various points about the state. During the court session this morn- ing the state policeman and local Policemen O'Mara and Feeney, with Sergeant McCue in charge, again vis- ited the bottling works and seized ecight more kegs. This was in addi- tion to the 16 kegs and 85 cases seized last night. game, “K. M. Landis.” The appligations for reinstatement from Ruth dnd Meusel were {dertical. They read as follows: “T hereby respectfully apply for fm- mediate reinstatement to enable me to play in the game here tod. Sat- urday, May 20."” Piercy's application was received a few minutes later and he also was re- instatéd. Piercy like Ruth and Meusel was €'igible o apply for reinstatement to- day. The three were suspended last fall when they violated the major league rule by p.aying post season games. Piercy's telegram fcllows: “I hereby make appl.ation for re- instatement to enable me_to pitch a game today, May 20; kindly wire.” FIREWO0D AND FIREWATER Stamford Court Finds Man To Have Been Engaged In Business Of Sell- ing Both.
