Committes Report Accepted by House After Debate. (Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, May 21.—An act imposing a state tax of one mill a year for two the cities and towns, was explained by Mr. Lewis of the finance committee in the said such and house, Wednesday. Mr. Wilson it was a great many years since a tax was levied in Connecticut he did not consider a tax meces- sary at this time. He urged delay for a few days so that matter of fin- anciel importance might be first de- termined. ~ He stated that there was much undertaxed corporation proper- ties which if properly taxed. would aid materially in supplying the deficit. As a democrat he was opposed to the state tax, if a republican he would be of the same mind, and as a citizen he would _say no to the proposed state Mr. Wilson made motion that bill be placed at the foot of the calendar, to give him opportunity to sub; amendment. Mr. Caine spoke in favor of the tax Teport of the commitiee and urged its adoption, and told of the future re- turns that would come from a proposed productivity tax. Mr. Magee, while in favor of the tax, said he believed in a three-quar- ters mill taX, and the proper tlaxa- tion of all public corporations. He also favored a bond issue. Mr. Thoms said he vote in favor of the an item of expense city of Waterbury. But the tax would Taise $2.200,000 or about ome-half the deficit, which indicates that the tax must come, to him it was like a dose of physic and must be taken, did not ke to tax as it means of $140,000 to the even if a bit nauseous. Mr, Wilson said this money eould be raised by unjust tax or by the levying of a proper tax on undertaxed prop- erty, He heped the motion to place the act at the foot of the ealendar, so that amendment could be made, would prevai, Mr. Wilson's metion did net prevail a vote of 91 te 44, The report of the eammitice was accepted and the bill passed, ADMITS COMMH’TING NEW MILFORD MURDER, by Prisoner Says Victim Had Twitted Him Abeut Colored Giri, New Milford, May 21.—Alexandoy Denbrowski, 36 vears old, eonfessed to the police today that it was he who had shet and Lilled George Fhateher, eolored, here last might, Thatcher was shiot down on the street while tatking to u woman friend.

If One is Made Dutiable, Senate Will Treat Other Similarly. Washington, May 21.—Determination to equalize livestock and grains and their respective products in the Un- derwood tariff bill has been reached by the senate finance sub-committee considering the agricultural schedule. It has been agreed that if cattle, eep, hogs., wheat and oats are to re- main_ dutiable, as the Underwood bill classifles them, then a duty shall be placed upon beef, mutton, pork, wheat, flour and oats, or if these products are to remain on the free list, the raw materials wiil be covewed inio the free list. This is the first basic tariff change to Dbe planned by senate demacrats ince the Underwood bill came from the house. ‘Whether raw materials and their products are to be listed or all are to be made dutiable has mot been deter- mined, but that all would be treated alike was asserted today by Senator John Sharp Williams, chairman of the sub-committee which has the schedule in hand. The decision to equalize these schedules, it also was reported, had been reached with the knowledge of the president and not without his approval. ‘When Senator Williamg was told of a report in circulation that his com- mittee had decided to put all livestoc and grains on the free list, in keeping with their products, as they are treat- ed in the Underwood bill, he declared there was no ground for such a re- port. “But,” declared the senate, “there is this much about it. If cattle, and hogs are Lo remain dutiable in this bill, then their products will carry a duty. The same is true of wheat. flour and ostmeal. There will be no discrimination between these raw ma- terials and their products in this bill. But we have not determined whether they shall be dutiable or undutiable.” The fight over this feature of the Underwood bill began in the house, and there was considerable democratic opposition to the free listing of farm products while the raw m: al was left dutiable. FLIES THROUGH AIR Head of Navy Department Enjoys a Trip in Flying Boat. s Annapolis, Md,, May 21.—Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels today traveled eight miles through the air at a height of 500 feet in a flying boat. “It was delightful;' I enjoyed the sen- sation thoroughly,” was the secre- tary’s reply inquirer when he alighted. The secretary went up with Lieuten- ant John H. Towers, senior officer of the navy aviation corps. The trip was begun at four minutes to four o'clock. It ended eight min- utes later. Mr. Daniels came to An- napolis this morning and inspected the buildings and grounds of the acad- emy. He donned an overcoat and stuffeq some cotton into his ears to drown the noise of the engine during the flight and then, after signing the official_register where all passengers place their signatures and record their weights before beginning a trip, he took his scat beside Lieutenant Tow- ers. After about two miles of steady climbing a turn was made and the flying boat passed over the camp at a height of about 500 feet. As he sailed over Mr. Daniels waved his hand to the crowd below. A straight flight up the river of about four miles was made and then Lieutenant Towers turned for the trip back and downward, land- ing just in front of the point from which the start was made. to an COMPETITIVE BIDDING A FARCE, SAYS DANIELS Secretary of Mavy Discusses Armor Plate Contracts.

United States Admires Japanese Progress. President Wilson, who had no small part in the writing of the note to Ja- pan, is sajd to have sescribed in most complimentary terms what he believ- ed to be the real feeling of the major- ity of the American people toward Japan. The communication, it is said, pointed to California and oniy a part of California, too, as having given evi- dencs of a_discriminatory disposition, and insistod that the United States as a whole admired the progress that Ja- pan had made in the Iast half cen- tury, respected the achievements of the Japanese people, and was sincere- ly anxious to show that if resarded Japan on a basis of equality with all other powers and nations.

Atteux and Den- . Collins, by John J. Breen, con- “planter” of dy- namite. Breen's story of his activities on be- half both of strikers and mill owners culminated in a declaration that he had refused to accept $7,000 from At- teux’s attorney, Daniel H. Coakley, the lawyer who was cross-examining him. Suits Against Breen. Testimony previousiy introduced was that eight persons who had been ar- rested when dynamite was found in buildings occupied by them at Law- rence had later brought damage suits gainst Breen, who had “planted” the xplosive, Breen testified that he had gone to Atteux to get $13,000 after his own counsel hed told him that al] the suits could be settled for $12,000. “Did Not Want That Kind of Money.” © denied that suits co when he knew the damage d be settled at a lower figure he was endeavoring to induce Atteux tho pay him_ $13,000.

GovePnment Proposes to Bar Those from Polluted Waters. 1 New York, May Oyster beds from Cape Cod to Texas are about to be investigated by the department of agriculture. When polluted beds have been located, the department will bar their product from interstate com- merce and, through publicity, aid state and municipal authorities in prevent- ing local sales. This plan was an- nounced here fonight by Dr. Carl T. Alsberg, chief of the bureau of chem- istry, in an address before the an- nual convention of the Oyster Grow. ers’ and Deglers’ association of Nort Americs An exaggeraied fear of the oyster as a source of disease was declared by Dr. Alsberg to be a factor adding to the pressure of the high cost of living. He gafd the second step in the depart- ments’ activities would be to see that oysters from wholesome beds were handled in a sanitary manner. When the task has been accomplished, he added, the industry will flourish and do its share to keep down the cost of living. SEES PERIL IN INCOME TAX. Indianapolis Publisher Says It Should Be Borne by All Classes. Indianapolis, May 20.—John H. Hol- liday, founder of The Indianapolis ews, and for years the leading tariff reform advocate.of the State, sees in | the proposal to tax incomes in excess of $4,000 a menace to the country and the beginning of class lesislaton worse than protection. He favors the principle of the income tax law, but | ays the proposal to make less than half a million people pay the tax is | viclous and undemocratic. | “The movement that put the DomA oceratic Party in power,” he said, s G mainly to the desire to Stop the | granting of special privileges to a class. Now we are confronted with an intention and effort to create an- other special class who are not to be | favered, but on whom shall bo put a burden 'that ought to be borne by all alike, The principle ts viclous and the result will be as injurfous as pro- tection, In my opinion, the limitation should not be more than $1,200 or at | utmost ~ $1,500.
