TAX PROBLEMS ZXPLAINED TO BOTARIANS The incoms tax and some of the most frequent problems tha: confront the bus- iness man in making out his return were fhoroughiy discussed at the noonday Junch of the Rotary club Wednesday at the Wauregan hotel by Col. H. S. Dorsey of New London, deputy internal revenue collector. 1In speaking of the incrme tux Colonel Dorsey said that it was a com- plicated matter to expiain but that he awould take up some of the points that bother the average business man. Tne poinia touched upon the matter of de- preciation of property, rent paid, wages . interest on business indebtedness, interest on bonds, bank deposits and many ofher things that have 1o he considered in 8iling out 2 complete and comprehen- sive return. Charles A. Saxton, a member of the tows school committee, spoke o the mem- bers of the club om the urgent meed of more adequate school bulldings to reiieve the congestion that now e in the Schools, especially on the West Side. Mr. Saxton said that the Mt Pleasant Street schoo! building had only eight rooms and that there was meed of 2 new building iz this district. siready been drawn for & new sixteen room building o be located near the pres- ent Mt Pleasant Street school.

Mrs. Lenson said that she never heard any conversation regarding Miss ilarding's compensation. | | i i No Intertion of Marrying. That Mr. Peck had no intention of ‘marrying Miss Harding was inumated by the testimony of Frank L. Saunder: an employe of the.state highway di partment, who said that he met Pe on the highway one day in 1918, driv- g some six miles from his home and he_stopped ;to visit. that he had heard he was to marry jand he wanted to congratulate him. { Witness said Mr. Peck replied: “Ne: er, I'm about 75 vears and an oid man, but 'm not & fool. That's the most absurd story 1 ever heard. I've lived without 2 woman ail my life and I don't expect to start now. Mr. Peck, witness said, seemed peev- {ed over the story of his anticipated marriage. Unable to Find $109 in Geld. Marion R. Davis, administrator of the estate. and whose wife is a niece of Mr. Peci, testified that in 1819 Mr. Peci told hia that “he still had that $100 in gold,” but he did not find -it when he 0ok over the estate. He then made demand upon Miss Harding for it, and she told witness that Mr. Peck gave it to her. Mr. Davis wouldn't admit that a signature to a letter on file as exhibit B was that of Mr. Peck, In Rebuttal. M‘;e Harding was called in rebuttal and she repeated in detail the conver- sation she alleged she had with Mrs, Adeiaid Benson at the railroad station, She said that she asked Mrs. Benson te repeat the conversation at the Peck home regarding the compensation of $30 a week and Mrs. Benson said she didn’t want to come to court to testify because MY Davis had a claim in court for ner in the Wertenburg case and he was interested in this case. Witness further stated that Mrs. Benson told her that Mrs. Wertenburg paid her $5 out of her own pocket and that th, estate was to pay her the other $2 for which she has a clalm, Ring Offersd in Evidence. The alieged “phony” diamond ring was then offered in evidence and it leveloped through Miss Harding's tes- timony that she hought this stone at a jewelry store herseif, paid for it with her own money, that it is a re: iamond and cost $25 and she also paid for having it mounted. i | | | but he never heard Peck say anvthing practi- | home and | Witness eaid that he told Mr. Peck | OR IS HARDING 'ne foot behind the other, one should- T sloping at an angle, his arms :mu.-h-j g and unable to do much more than exint, 1l v Miss Harding’s Aunt Testifies. Mrs. Lucy Glea#oh, an aunt of Miss | Harding, testified Tuesday afternoon that Mr. Peck told her that “Line is no spring chicken, but 1 am going to marry her just the same” She said that she worked for Peck at a prewi- | ous time and he agreed to pay her $3; a week, but she really got somethingy less. 3 A Mrs. Elmer Maryin, a_sister of Miss | Harding, testified that Mr. Peck gave! en sister a diamond ring: while she ! and Peck were at her home. George R. Swaney of Old Lyme, ai neighbor of Mr. Peck, testified that he| new Miss Harding had come to Peck's house to do the housework for him.j regarding marriage. Peck told him| that Miss Harding used to toss down the hay for him as it was hard for| him to climb up to the mow. He said that so far as he know Peck never had a shock, but he al- ways complained of rheumatism and twitched his shoulders as he remarked | that “the rumatiz is all tbrough my bones \ He said that he was called to the house one night and found Peck lying | on the floor. In_ his opinion, som thing besides a shock put him there. intimating tha$ the man had been drinking. Lewis Got Emergency Call. | Edward Lewis testified that he lived near Mr. Peck and that one evening Mr. Peck telephoned him to come over to the house as he was on the floor and couldn’t get up. He went over and couldn’t get in and Mr. Peck cal ed to him to break down the door. ‘Witness said that he went for George R. Swaney and together they forced an entrance, witness climbing through a window. He and Mr. Swaney lifted Mr. Peck into a chair and asked him what was the matter. Witness said Mr. Peck said: “I don't know what| happened to me, I may have fallen| asieep and feil onto the fioor.” | He said he asked him if he wanted | a doctor and Peck said no, He seem- | ed to be all right again in about an hour. Witness thought the fall was due to something other than a shock. He said that Peck continued to “fuss about” the place up to 10 davs before he died and he thougnt his health. was as good as the average man of his age suffering with rheuma- tism. ! Lucy R. Wood and Isabelle Cheney. ipractical nurses, testified, as exper on the prev. for practical nurses. which they eaid was from $23 to $25 a week, but, in cases of paralysis or shock would be worth at least $30. Miss Wood said e. work M | Harding “testified to-having Gone, aside from' the nursing, it “would be worth as much as $40 a week.” | PUT CONNECTICUT'S IDLE LAND TO WORK necticut Farestry foloping sta The entire civilized world 1s rapidly working toward a serious shortag® of timber. The United States must produce its own timber and continue to do so in- gefinitely. Our needs cannot be supplied by other countries. Thirty siates do not inow meet their own needs for lumber from,_forests within their own boundaries. Only fourteen supply their own needs and have 2n excess fo send into the states now deficient. For nearly one hundred years Connceticul has been paying trib- ute to other states for lumber that should be gTown within her own borders. We are vearly paying between three and four millfon dollars for freight on lum- ber brought into this state from outsi and this sum is rapidly increasing. | ing rate of compensation FULL ASSOCIATER PRESS DESPATCHES =35 that are still exporters of lumber are going very rapidl Connecticut must sooner or jater engage In forestry on an extensive scale or she will be forced to 20 without Jumber. The situation is be- coming more acuto each year. Half the state 1s unfit for agriculture. This vast area is now idle. or producing in saw and must produce in the future. It is up 1o us to decide whother or not Connec- ticut will have timber to supply its own tieeds fifty or one hundred vears hence. Talk with vour lumber dealer and with the men who have been going up and down the state cutting out farmers’ woodlots. What do they say about it? They will tell you that Cormecticut saw- timber is gone and that within ten years one-half to three-fourths of our lumber will come from the Pacific coadt. .1s this 00d business—is it sound public économy when we have within_ our own borders {enough idle land ‘to produce all the lum- ber we need? From sheer hecessity Con- necticut mus* eventually practice forestry on this idie land. Why not make a da- cent beginning now? This iy no minor matter. Tt is one of the biggest problems that the state must immediately face. It fnvolves sound legisiation and present expenditures with the certainty of future gains. Strong forces within the state are com- heretoforé active in onposing forestry have openly declared for the creation of state forests on non-agricuitural lands in each county in the state; for a strong ang liberally supported state department of forestry, and for the development of a form of cooneration hstween tue siate and the private owner of forest land taat will make certain the sustained yieid of timber thereon.

They decided to appear at a hearing soon to be held in Martford ‘before the legislative - puplie ‘health and safety cominittee on tho bill. Which is known as “An act concorning the practice of Medicine,” Hopse Bill 380. Opposition, to the bill, which appiles to osteopaths, dentists, optomeirists, chiro- odists, midwives and nurces, a3 weil @3 chiropractors, centers in the fact that the laws under which these practitioners Tnow operate would be entirely discarded and medical doetors would be given regu- Tative control over all of these others. The bill calls for the state department of health to appeint a board of examin- ers’ before whom all applicants for the right to unlimited licenses for the prac- tice of the healing arls must appear. This board js to determine the fitness of such applicants to receive a license. It is the iakeup of this poard that galls the prac- titioners who are making a prolest. The. bill- states that this board shall be com- Dposed of four members of the Conmecticut State Medical society and two members togecher witih the state health commis- sioner, himseif 2 medica; man ! A board of examiners of those who will ek limited licenses (practically ail prac- titioners except me {cu} Aoctors would three men, two members of the particu- lar profession to he examined and the state health commissicner. It grants the atate department of health the power to increase the examining boards for lim- ited license to four or six members, with- out designating that these additional members be drawn from the soeicty of the “limited” branch. This would allow medical control of ail healing arts. Clitropractors in discussing the bill point out that. the bill {s unfair in that it made law it will stifle progress in the science of healing which they represent. | boen iachooied 1o combat - atbease with drugs must necessarily look upon them as competitors since - the healing science of the chiropractor i3 founded upon & tiveory that drugs are not necessary.
