MRS. HETTIE GREEN MOVES.
Low Rate of Taxation Induces Her to
Change Her Residence.


Cohasset, Mass. March 10.-Attract-
ed by the low tax rate of this town.
$3.50 per $1,000 for the past seven
years, Hettie Green has decided to
make Cohasset her permanent home
As preliminary she has offered Co
hasset man the trusteeship of more
than 100000 worth of personal prop
erty and is now looking for a dwelling
which will suit her fancy as resi-
dence.
She will spend at least six months of
each year here, probably the entire
summer. The transfer of $4,000, 600
worth of personal property for taxable
purposes to this town from New York
would increase the income of the town
and thus further decrease the tax rate.
Mrs. Green's decision to come here is
due to her intimate friend, Miss Flor
eta Nining. n resident of Cohasset.
Mrs. Green was in Boston last week
consulting lawyers and real estate men
regarding her change of residence.

BERLIN, Dec. 15.-lt is officially
stated today that Castro only ex-
pressed the desire to arbitrate, but
made no formal proposal through
Minister Bowen, hence there IS no

son to believe the government Will
alter the attitude hitherto pre-
| served.
