All this talk about the codding Of the
liquor trade in order to have prosperity
is a hoax. It is not substantiated by
facts, And it raises the question to q
psychological puzzle; Why is it then
that the bankers of Missouri trembled
and petitioned SO when the prohibitory
amendment was before the Missouri
legislature? 1t might help the psychol-
ogist in his quest for light if he were
told that great brewers, millionaire
brewers, serve on the board Of directors
of enough of the banks represented in
those unfortunate lobbies. The bankers
Birmingham bear a different testimony.

MR. GOODSELL ADVOCATES
 EXTENDING SECOND DISTRICT

Zalmon Goodsell, of the Board of Apportionment, made a strong plea, last night, before the Board of Ap- portionment, for an extenusion of the second tax district, on the ground that the people owning property in the second district are bearing the bur- dens of taxpayers in the First dis trict, while the people who pay a tax in the First district only are getting a great many improvements for a lit- tie money.
 He said: "At first was opposed to placing the entire charge for lighting in the First district, as proposed by MT. Cooper. But l have looked into the matter since and I want to say that I withdraw the objections that had. The condition that exists is that the Second district pays 1920 of the cost of First district lights and the same proportion on other items, like sewers, macadam roads, sewers, roads and bridges. This condition can- not be altogether avoided, but I would suggest that the street committee of the Common Council take some ac- tion to have the Common Council ap- peal to the next legislature to have the Second district extended
 ''Messrs. Phelan and Giddings, af- ter trying for years for sewer in Noble avenue, were told to go into the Second tax district. They did, and got their sewer. They are paying 2nd district taxes. But in North Main St. the city has made improvements equal
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-02-12

to a Second district tax, and the city appropriated $4O,0O0 for a sewer in Fairfield avenue, in the Black Rock district. The city pays a quarter of the cost of this construction. There are sections in the First District where they have improvements equal to Sec ond district. They have fire hydrants, sewers, lights and other improvements When they have a fire the chemical goes out and extinguishes it, as though the people paid for the service.
 'I submit the following figures: The First district grand list is SS4, 4,50O 900, and the grand list of the Second dis trict is $81, 200. coo The amount of property in the First district. outside of the Second district, is 8. 500. 600. or about 4 3-10. The total light appro- pIiation is s63, ,152. The number of lights outside of the Second distrist line is 28 arc lights at $73. With the gas and gasoline lamps in the same territory the total cost of lighting the First district only is $4.459 or 1-10 per cent. of the total light appropria- ton. If $6,000 was appropriated to pay for the lights outside of the Sec ond district the First district only would pay $25S. Putting the entire light appropriation in the First dls- trict it will pay $2,713 instead of $25a for its lights. This will leave s1,75a that the Second district will pay, but 1t is more equitable than the old way.
 There are also some sections in tha Second district where there are no frn- provements because of lowlands and marshes, where only First district tax should be levied"

CONTRACTOR HELD
 FOR ATTEMPTING TO COMMIT MURDER
Fiorintino Goes to Jail to Await Superior Court Bond Is $3,00O.

Entering formal demurrer to avoid prolonged preliminary hearing in the city court, Frank Fiorintino, the ma- son contractor of 65 Hallett street, charged with assault with intent to murder, was held for trial in the Su- perior Court today in bail of $3,00O. His victim, Alfredo Christiano, occu- pied a bench in the prisoners pen. be- ing brought from St. Vincent's hos pital long enough to testify if needed. At the close of the hearing F'iorintino and Christiano were taken away from police headquarters in the auto-patrol wagon, the accused to jail to await the Superior court, and the victim to St. Vincent's hospital where his wound is receiving attention. They did not speak during their trip.
 Four other arrested in the police roundup of the participants in the game of mora that led to the shoot ing on the night of Feb. 8, were held iE bail varying from $150 to $500 for breach of the peace, their cases being continued until March to insure their presence in the city when wanted. All have secured bail save Fiorintino, whose friends are striving to secure bond that he may resume his occu- patton. Christiano is under surveil- lance at St. Vincent's lest friends Of the accused should entice him away.

SAVED LIVES OF l7 MEN
 TODAY
Sensational Rescue of Crew of Foundered Ships In
 Icy Gale
Behind a Mist that Hid the Wrecked Ship from View Unseen Hands Gath cred the Life Lines and Rigged the Apparatus
Special from United Press.)


 New York, Feb. 12.-Through gi- gantic waves laden with ice and cut by sleet, IT men slid along a narrow line from their wrecked vessel to Saf- ety at Sandy Hook early today. They formed the crews of the two fishing schooners, the Franklin B. Nelson and the Libby, which are now breaking to pieces off the life saving station. While heavy driving snow hid every thing beyond the line of breakers at the life saving station early today, a watchman was attracted by what he thought was a. falling star several hundred yards off shore. He gave it no thought until a second "star'' ap- peared in the same direction. A third and fourth "star" appeared, and it became evident that it was a distress signal.
 The sIeet, carried by a driving wind, cut the faces of the life savers and heavy gloves, soaked with the spray froze to the gunwales of the boats. The first boat launched topped huge breaker but a second wave caught 1t and threw it back. Again and again futile efforts were made to get the boats through the pounding combers. Then the firing gun was brought out.

Again the buoy shot out into the darkness and returned with 2. man. Six more trips were made and the last man whispered that there were no more.
 Hardly had the eight been beached when a second shower of "stars" at tracted the patrolman's attention. Again an unavailing effort was made to launch the boats and again the line and breeches-buoy had to be used. Nine men were thus saved from the second vessel
 The schooner Nelson, it is said, will be a total wreck but the Libby may be saved.

 OBSERVANCE
Banquet at Atlantic Hotel Tonight Sermon by Rev. E. J. Craft, Tomorrow, Members of Elias Howe Post Attending.

The observance of Lincoln Day was less general than it was year ago, which was the hundredth anniversary of Lincoln's birth. The day, being a legal holiday, the banks were closed. but, as the holiday came on Saturday, and as the merchants are obliged to accommodate the public .on that day, the amount of observance by trade establishments was less than usual. The members of Franklin Bartlett Camp, s. of ", will celebrate with q banquet at the Atlantic Hotel, this evening.
 Sunday evening the members of Elias Howe Post, G. A. R., are in- vited to hear the sermon on Lincoln, to be preached by Rev. B. J. Craft at Christ church.. MT. Craft is one of the most eloquent pulpit orators in Connecticut. He has especially stud- jed the life of Lincoln and what he has to say will be worth hearing.

Marseilles, Feb. 12.-An anguish smitten crowd besieged the offices of he French Transatlantic Steamship Company today, hoping against hope that there might be news of more survivors than the two reported sav- ed from the steamer General Chanzy, which foundered Thursday night in the channel between the Minorca and Ma iorca Islands.
 The latest news however, showed that the tragedy was as complete as early reports indicated. General Sec retary Hourd read a message from the French Consul at Palma, Majorca, to the wildly excited crowd, that there was but one survivor, passenger named Bladez from Marseilles. It is known that there was one other man, Marcel Morel, an Algerian customs of icial who was washed ashore, cling Ing to a piece of wreckage. Morel is now in a hospital at Ciudadela Major ga. recovering from his terrible eXper- ience-
 The people were so overcome with grief that an attempt was made to wreck the steamship company's offices, but a heavy police guard drove the crowd D2ck.
 There were S7 passengers on the General Chanzy and crew of 70. mak- Ing the total death list 155. The reg lster of the General Chanzy shows that three American vaudeville performers, Elsie Heney, Leon Derenda and Thom- as Breen, the latter two being team of jugglers, sailed on the ship last Wednesday.
 The completeness of the wreck of the vessel was due to an explosion of it's boilers. The boat was blown to pieces before sinking. The pieces of wreck age picked up are all small, indicating that the explosion tore the vessel to bits and it is probable that many of the victims were killed by the explo- sion
