NEW HAVEN ROADS
 WATERBURY INTERESTS
INTERESTING FORMAT TON FROM HERBERT KNOX SMITH, COMMISSIONER OF CORPORA TONS.

LIO4NCs
 Commission of Corporations Herbert Knox Smiths report on transportation by water in the United States contains several references to Connecticut wa terways and shipping interests. On the subject of the taxation of vessels, the report says:
 'In Connecticut, New Hampshire and Rhode Island vessels engaged in for eign trade are subjected to very light taxes on the basis of their net earn ings, in lieu of taxation on a. property basis. Tn Rhode Island this tax on net earnings is at the rate of 1 per cent, and applies to vessels three fourths of whose earnings are derived from foreign commerce. In the other two States named the net income is treated as personal property for the purpose of taxation and taxed at the same rate, so that taxes on vessels engaged in foreign trade are as much lighter than taxes on other property as the net incomes of such vessels are less than the valuation of the vessels themselves. In Connecticut this low rate of taxation applies to all regis tered and enrolled sailing vessels and as well as to vessels engaged in for eign commerce.
 Under the heading Taxation of Navigation Companies" the report says:
 "As noted above, however, certain classes of vessel property are assessed in Connecticut at an arbitrary valua- ton equal to their net earnings dur ing the year. The laws. of Connecti- cut also provide that every railroad company which holds by lease or other- wise railroad in another State, not a part of its own road, shall report annually. how much of it's funded and floating debt was occasioned by and how much of it's capital stock was fS- sued for the purchase of the capital stock of any steam boat company ope- rating a line of steamboats in connec- ton with said railroad and in com putting the amount of tax to be paid of such debt and stock shall be de- ducted from the total amount of it's debt and stock.''
 Taking up the regular steamship lines, Commissioner Smith says: "Of companies operating within the North Atlantic District, the most important group is that controlled by the New road, including the following compan- ies: Maine Steamship Company, ope- rating three vessels on the outside route between Portland and New York; New England Navigation Com pany, Consolidation of various com panies), operating a. fleet of twenty seven vessels between New York and various points in Southern New Eng land via. Long Island Sound; Hartford &s New York Transportation Company. with two vessels, operating between Hartford, Conn.,, and New York; Joy Steamship Company, whose six vessels operate over two routes between New York and Fall River and between Providence and Bridgeport; United States Transportation Company, ope- rating between New York and Fall Riyer''

 Superintendent Egan of the state police was arranging yesterday to start for Los Angeles, Cal. to bring back to Connecticut Jacob Israelovitch, who Is in the custody Of Sheriff HamiI of Los Angeles and who has confessed to shooting and robbing Simon Miller in Thomaston. on Sunday, January 26. 1902.
 Miller was Hebrew dry goods ped dler who lived in Waterbury and travelled by team all over Litchf1eld county. Israelovitch lived in Water bury,and was 8 peddler, too. and it is said that he had a bitter feeling to- wards Miller. It was the custom of Miller to sometimes start on his trips on Sunday morning. with his team. ary 26. 1902. intending to drive to Litchfield. On that Sunday afternoon he was found lying beside the high way in Thomaston. There was a bull let hole in his head from which his brain was oozing and it was thought that he would die. His team was gone and the only article of value on his person was silver dollar.
 Nicholas Purcell, who now lives in Terryvil1e. reported that late on the Sunday afternoon of the shooting he saw Israelovitch, whom he knew driv- ing Miller's team through Thomaston and later that afternoon the team was found unhitched in Bristol. The man who left the team was seen to run to- wards the tracks.

TEN YEARS OF
 SCALP ERUPTION
Tiny Pinhead PimpIes Filled and
 Hurt Tremendously Tried Every.
 thing in Vain-His Daughters
 Scalp was CrustedABoth Found
SIMPLY SURPRISING
 CURE IN CUTICURA

"It is great pleasure for me and consider it a duty to inform you what Cuticura has done for me- About twelve years ago, l contracted an erup- ton of the scalp consisting of small pimples, about the size of a pinhead, which filled after a few days with pus and which hurt tremendously. I tried washed my head with sulphur and ap- piled a carbolic ointment. After a few days the pimples disappeared, only to come back again in a week. This I suffered for ten years and then I saw an advertisement in the paper of the wonderful cures by Cuticura. bought a cake of Cuticura Soap, box of Cuti- cura Ointment and a bottle of Cuticura Pills and after three weeks had used only half the Soap and Ointment and my head was as clean as ever before. After the first application it was simply surprising how it improved.
 'fMy daughter used Cuticura Soap and Ointment for scales on the scalp and after having used them three times her head was clear and the hair became as soft and fine as silk. Since then she uses nothing but Cuticura Soap for shampooing.
 "In consequence of my having used Cuticura Soap for shampooing, I mo- ticed that my hands which almost al- ways were cracked from handling un- dressed wood, lime and stone, became white and velvety. Formerly I used with Cuticura Soap and Ointment does more for my hands than a weeks treat ment with glycerine. l hope all suf- fering people will at least try the Cuti- cura Remedies.
