SWIFT AND STERN Justice 0vertakes Young and Daring Robber in Hotel
 Belmont. CAUGHT BY ARMY OFFICER British Major Holds Prisoner for Pos lice--sentenced on Day of
 Crime.

New York, July s,-swift justice and stern, today, overlook Nathan Levine, a daring youthful burglar, who early today capped brief career of crime by a bold attempt to chloroform and rob Mrs. Mostyn Cookson. in a room In the Hotel Belmont. while her hus- band, who Is a member of q prominent English family and a major In tho British army, slept only a few feet away, Major Cookson was awakened by his wifes screams just as the rob- Der was about to thrust gag Into her mouth after having bound her hands The major attacked the intruder. over powered him after a sharp struggle and held him until the police arrived and took him Into custody. A few hours later a grand jury returned two in- dictments against the young man. one for burglary and the other assault in the first degree and this afternoon he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to serve not less than ten nor more than forty years In prison. Levine. who said he was student and the son of a re- tired New York manufacturer, told the police after his arrest that he had TOD bed nearly every first class hotel in the city during tho past few weeks He Is about 20 years old and was dressed in the height of fashion when he regis tered at the Belmont yesterday under an assumed name He was assigned to room adjoining that occupied by Major and Mrs. Cookson on the four teenth floor of the hotel and gained access to their room by way of the Are escape.
 Investigation by the police showed that Levine was romanclng as to his antecedents His father Is janltor of an apartment house.
 The unusual speed with which the case against Levine was prosecuted was partly due to the fact that Major and Mrs. Cookson had engaged passage on q steamer which sailed for Europe this afternoon. They appeared before tho grand jury and later in court to testify against the prisoner. It was within 3b minutes Of the sailing time of their steamer when they loft tho court. room. but they rushed up town in an automobile and got on board just be- fore the ship sailed.

WANT TAX REBATE Anthony & scoville Company Claim Assessments Were
 Excessive.
UP TO TAX COMMISSION
Bill Figured on se7, ,o0o, While Firm Suggests s15,o00 as
 Fair.
One of the most interesting applica-

One of the most interesting applica- tions for abatement of taxes which the special tax commission has had before 1t for some time came up last night when the Anthony & scovile company asked that their taxes for 1908 and 1907 be greatly reduced. Attorneys David F. Fitzgerald and Robert Woodruff ap- peared for the firm. On the tax list of 1908 the firm Is set down as having here property valued at s67oOo subject to local taxation and on this sum the bill was made out The next year 1t seems the company failed to swear to any list at all and the same amount plus the ten per cent penalty was used in figuring out the bill. Before that time the company had been taxed on about ss,000
 The company claimed last night that the amount was entirely too large and had been arrived at by mistake. It seems that manager of the lccal fac tory was asked for an inventory of all that the concern owned and he includ- ed in 1t large amount of material that was on hand to be ma up and which would take several months to use up. This 1t was represented should be taken not in the full amount on hand at such time but In the aver age and this mistake had never been rectifed. It was shown that the com pany had a small amount of machin- cry on hand here which 1t owned and leased the rest The firm has its headquarters at Binghampton, New York and on account of, being a foreign firm had had no chance to correct the mistake.
 Vice-President Topliff of the concern was present and stated that about s10.- poo would be fair estimate fin his opjn- lon of the amount which could be call ed the average of material on hand He explained the circumstances connected With the handing in of the larger f,g- ure and declared that It was In,poss,bIe that the concern could have any such amount on hand as an average in 1908.
 In summing lip Attorney Woodruff said that the firms sworn list for this year was s15,000 and while that was fairly large there would be no obtec- ton to the adoption of that with in- terest as the bases for the 1906 and 1907 taxes and If this was done the taxes would gladly be paid at once by the concern. He declared thls would he an omlnently fair adjustment of the mistake.
 No action was taken last night but was deferred until the next meeting of The board

 Arthur Nichols, Waterbury's center fielder, said after Wednesday's game n Holyoke that he easily could have caught schmldt's high fly in the eighth If he had used two kinds and added that 1t would have been nowise impossihle 10 have made the catch with one hand. Hambaoher had made his sparkling catch in the seventh and when Schmidt rapped out the high one. Bronkie yelled over Nick, take 1t one hand. Nick said that If he had turned the trick he would let the next fly of that kind drop over his shoulder to be grabbed from be- hind. As he muffed Schmidts, however. he'll probably use both fins hereafter.
 Eddie swander thinks the Connecticut league Is harded for layout to hit high In than the Eastern. Tn the Eastern he said, "a team plays another for three or four games at a stretch and gets a crack at the poorest as well as the best pitchers. Here In the Connecticut, with games with different clubs every day, if team IS winning or considered dan gerous, the best pitcher of the oppos- Ing teams string Is usually trotted 10 the box, and every club usually has one star .inan. Last year, when we were up near the top we had to ba' against the best pitchers In every club Mattern was used in about all the games we played with Holyoke and he had t on us.
