POLICE DISCARD
 MURDER THEORY

Fincennes. Ind. March 26.--The po- lice of VincanneS are convinced that Mrs. Russell Culbertson who died yes terday from carbolic acid poisoning, was not murdered. They declared to- day that the mysterious former sweet heart of MT. Culbertson who was sup posed to have been the author of the letters had nothing to do with them.
 The theory of sAicide entertained by the police is based on two important clues. Near Mrs. Culbertson they say, was found a strip of muslin from which had been torn the material used to bandage the woman's head as she lay bound. and gagged. It is also claimed that the handwriting in the threatening letters had been compared with letters known to be in the hand writing of the mysterious former sweetheart of Culbertson and show greater similarity with the dead wom- ans handwriting.
 Still another point that inclines the police to disbelieve the murder theory, which is advanced by the woman's relatives, is the report that she had attempted suicide a year ago. Chief of Police Evans said to-day that it would have been a, simple matter for Mrs. Culbertson to address these threaten ing letters to herself, drink carbolic acid, place the bandage over head and bind her hands so that they should appear firmly bound. The family re- fuse to accept the theory that the bride killed herself. They insist in their be- lief that she was murdered.
 The Coroner's inquest begins to-day.

SCRATCHLESS HENS
 AND CROWLESS COCKS

Sanitary Inspector David w. Lynch is offering a. big premium for crowless roosters and scratchless hens, and is thinking of enlisting the services of the renowned Luther Burbank to help him out in his present predicament. During the past week Inspector Lynch has received something like half a hundred complaints concerning "the neighbours hens" The complaints come from North Washington avenue. Commercial street, Columbus Place, West avenue, Jane street, Noble ave- nue, and various other sections of the city.
 About the time the sun crossed the line and the spring solstice began, the poultry world got busy, to the disgust of everyone except those who own the fowls. This morning Inspector Lynch was busy with the signs prepared for the board which will announce that ''No Chickens Are to be Kept on These Premises
 The whole week has been devoted to the chicken question by the sanitary inspector and if the complaints con- tinue several assistants will be needed to keep up with the record.
 After April 1, the board of Health will begin cleaning up the city. The appropriation for this purpose will be available at that time and it will be used to pay for the removal of debris and the abatement of nuisances. The bills will be sent to the city attorney for collection as liens on the property. It is expected that this activity will soon result in a general cleaning up by property owners themselves.

WILL INCORPORATE
 UNDER GENERAL LAW

 From Committee of General Assembly
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press)
 Hartford, March 26.-The re-drafted resolution incorporating the John L. Billiard Company Of Meriden to take over the Boston & Maine stock now owned by MT. Billiard it was learned to-day. has again been taken away from the joint committee on incorpora- tions. The resolution was brought be- fore the committee yesterday by At torney Frank T. Brown of Norwich but it was again taken away and may not come before the body again.
 The point is that the incorporators who are stated in both drafts of the resolution to be MT. Billiard MT. Brown and President Samuel Heminway of the Second National Bank of New Ha- ven, and C. F. Linsley Of that city are considering whether or not the Billiard company cannot be incorporated under the general law and if it is found that this can be done the resolution for special charter will be withdrawn and incorporation will take place by filing articles with the secretary of state.
 The resolution last handed to the committee and withdrawn asks for nothing which could not be contained under the general law and includes capital stock of s50,000 but it provides that this shall be paid for in cash or it's equivalent and shall be of one class and issued at par.

KING PETER WILL ACCEPT HIS SONS
 RENUNCIATION
Has Long Been Anxious to Get Rid of
 Heir 10 Servian Throne.
Special from United Press.)

Belgrade, March 26.-The belief is practically universal in Belgrade to- day that King Peter will accept the resignation of his son, Crown Prince George now that the Cabinet has de- cided that Premier Novakovitch has no authority to consider the Crown Princes letter of resignation. There is a story current that the Cabinet ad- vised the King not to accept the resig nation but this is discredited as it is known that the King has long sought some way of getting his degenerate son out of National politics.
 The leaders of the war party declare that the Crown Prince is the victim of a plot. the purpose of which is to strengthen the position of those who are clamoring for peace. Threats of deposing the King and even hints that his life is in danger have been heard.
 The situation is so serious that the government is calling in troops from the frontier to guard the capitol against rioting. The Crown Prince is still in the city. The story of the Crown Princes fatal assault upon his valet is still in an indefinite form but is undoubtedly true, The young mans friends are charging that the story was concocted merely to furnish an excuse to force his retirement

It is charged that Weinstein sold an unin- spected calf carcass to Henry Meyers, a butcher at 62O State street.

WHAT TAX BILL WOULD DO IN
 BRIDGEPORT
Tax Commissioners Measure Would Take 80,0ae Annually Ont of This City.
Corporate Excess Above Local Taxation
 Would Reach $48,0O0,000.
State Would Take a Toll of 1 Per Cent of Latter Sum sni WonId Receive the Lions Share e-Discussion in Meeting of Committee on Tax Equalization.

At the meeting of the Committee or Tax Equalization last night the worl to be done was informally discussed especially in connection with the Cor porate Excess Tax Bill which has bee, proposed by Tax Commissioner Corbin There are six members of the commit tee, only three of whom were present These were Chairman William Thomas Alderman Griffin and Lynn W. Wilson. Alderman Fin1an was absent on ac- count of a. severe illness.
 N s. Jones and Assessor Frank J. Hughes. the appointees of Mayor Lee, were absent.
 The committee does not regard itself as directly concerned with the Tax Lax Excess bill, except in so far as the city may be injured by the operation Of the bill through failure of the committee to perform its duties.
 luittee that the Corporate Excess bill. if adopted by the legislature. would have the effect of taking out of Bridge port some $4S0000 a year.
 This condition comes about in this way. The Corporate Excess bill would ascertain the value of all corporations that are now taxable for local revenues by taking the market value of it's stock There would then be deducted tho value of the personal property and
  are laid. Then tax of one per cent. would be laid upon the remainder. the yield of which will go to the state.
 Taking e single group of corpora lions it was said that they are now taxed locally for about SIP 000, 600.
 The actual value of their real estate and personal property is about $55.- COG, coo Allowing $5,000,000 for the value of the good will and franchises, which is regarded as an exceedingly moderate figure. the total value of this single group of properties is s60, GOO.
 This being ascertained the tax books of Bridgeport would be consulted and it would be ascertained that the real estate and personal property were tax ed at $12,000, 900.
 The SIP, ,O0O,00O would be deducted from the $60, 000 GOO. The $48,000,000 so would be taxed one per cent. The revenue obtained would be $4S0, ,000. or about one third e, t1e present total revenue of the city from all sources.
