that the committee ,had failed 10

lack OF uniformity In assessment, and
also comparing the valuation OF prop
erty in other cities In the county with

made reductions and that those reduc-
tons had been RAISED by the assessor.

Plans suEEested for the Consolidation OF the

George W. Beavers, chief of the salaries and
accountant division of the New York Post
Office, has submitted a number Of propositions
to Postmaster Van Colt as to tho plan Of con-
solidation of all the Post Offices in Greater New
York. He was detailed to this work in the
early part of December because of his long con.
nection with both the New York and Brooklyn
offices. The propositions, four in number. are
as follows:
1. That the entire now city be merged into one
general postal division, with the Postmaster Of
the present New York city as the Postmaster Of

in the Greater New York territory would either
become his deputies or their stations be abso-

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Dec. 21.-Tho Sachse muir
der trial at Middletown opened this morning
with DR.. Wolff of this city on tho stand for
crossexamination. The doctor had made an
examination of tho boots that the State asserts
Sachse wore on tho night of the murder and he
said:
II found blood on Sachse's right boot on tho
toe under the patch, between the patch and the
sole. between toe and top Of boot, and on the left
boot between tho sole and the boot"
After DR.. Bacon Of Now Haven had testified
in relation to the difference between fresh blood
and clothed blood the State rested. and the de-
fence at once began by recalling Mr.. Augur, who
identified certain maps Of the Hotchkiss place.
His examination brought ont that 1t was forty
one feet from the window where the shot was
fred to where Mrs. Hotchkiss said she saw
s9chse and seventeen feet from the window
whore the shot was fired to where Hotchkiss sat
on the lounge; that the lamp on the table. the
light of which was said to have been put out
by the shot, was three feet out of range;
that the shot struck the doorway back OF
Hotchkiss 3 feet 4la inches from the floor. Hen

fed several photographs made of the outside
and inside Of the Hotchkiss house and they
were admitted as evidence. They show the

gle at which Mrs. Hotchkiss says she stood when
she saw Sachse. This IL the most important
photograph brought into the trial, as 1t shows q

The Wife or Senator Platt's Private Secretary
Interested In Her Behalf
Gerry Agent Thomas Watson found q woman
soliciting aims at Broadway and Twenty sec
ond street yesterday afternoon. Tho woman
held by the hand her 4.year-old daughter, and
many passersby handed the child money. Agent
Watson hailed the mother and child to the West
Thirtieth street station house. where the wo-
man described herself as Mrs. Annie Frank, 80
years old, OF 231 East Twenty-fourth street.
While on the way to the station three well.
dressed women inquired the cause of Mrs.
Franks arrest. When they learned that she
had been ARE 'ted for begging they accom-
panied her to the police station and pleaded for
her release, saying that they would see that
mother and child were properly cared for.
Agent Watson would not consent to their re-
lease, however, and Mrs. Frank was locked up.
Her child was taken to the Gerry socieiy's
headquarters.
One OF the women who interested herself in
Mrs. Frank was Mrs. Morris Eckstein, wife of
Senator Platt's private secretary. Mrs. Eek
stein said she would appear in Jefferson Mar.
ket Court this morning, when Mrs. Frank was
arraigned, and ask to be allowed to aid her.
Mrs. Frank has two children. Her husband
hasn't worked in two years. She says he can't
get work and that she had to beg TO keep the
family from starving.
