PNEUMONIC PLAGUE

London, Jan. 12.-England is be- coming seriously alarmed over the accommodating evidence that pneumo- nic plague-the '.black death" has se- cured firm foothold in the country.
 It is not alone that the rats all over the island are unquestionably thoroughly infected-it is beginning to be clear now that many men, wo- men and children have died of the disease, their illness having simply tending physicians. Expert investi- gators have practically proved that cases of supposed pneumonia as far back as 1906 were really plague and correspondent of the London Times, for whose authority the news paper vouches, takes the Respondent view that i've shall never succeed in ridding England entirely of this pla- que which has found so insidious an entry"
 don Express in a discussion of the same subject, "that the extermina- ton of rats is in itself a hopeless task, and no more than slight pal liative."
 While it is true that the number of cases of the disease among human beings is not yet very large. medical authorities are agreed that they are increasing steadily. The fact that the complaint, in England, tends to take not the bubonic but the pneu- monic form, in which the inhalation of infected breath even at a consid- erable distance is sufficient to trans init the contagion, is not a reassur- ring feature of the situation.
 This is an extremely serious af- fair says the Express, 'and we must grapple with it not in any spir- it of panic, but with the fixed deter imitation to leave undone nothing which can possibly prevent real dis aster."

ULSTER COUNTY NOT ARMING AGAINST
 HOME RULE
Daily Mail, Lord Northcliff,s Paper Has Found the Reports of Tories, Absolutely Un- true"
Special from United Fress.)

London, Jan. 19-The biggest blow that has yet been struck the Tories of England in their effort to defeat the Liberals, was delievered, today, by the Daily Mail, owned by Lord North cliff, which declared that it was un- true that Ulster County. in Ireland, was arming to resist home rule.
 The publication caused the biggest political sensation of recent months and is believed to foreshadow flop by Lord Northcliff to the Liberal par ty. The story that Ulster was arm ing to resist home rule has been play ed up by the conservative press for weeks in the hope that it would spur the Lords into throwing out the home rule measure when it reaches the up- per House. It was said that $50,000 had already been raised by the Ulster men, big order placed in Germany for guns and that military leaders were already drilling soldiers in the streets.
 The Daily Mail, today, says that it has made the closest investigation of these reports and "has found them ab- solutely untrue.'
 It is admitted that the Mails chang ed attitude will do much to destroy the Ulster County "Bogey.'' Friends close to Lord Northcliff are authority for the statement that he is gradually having his eyes opened to the popul- larity among the ma sses of the Lib eraI movement and is going to sup port it with all his newspapers and magazines.

$I75 CHARGED FOR |. SETTLING BEDDING
 ESTATE WORTH $500
Especial to Farmar.l

Bedding, Jal. 19.-The hack tax case which specially stirred the ;u- terest of the selectmen at their meet ing on Jan. was inaccurately stated in this correspondence last week as regards names. The estate in ques- ton was that of E. E. Bramhall and the administrator, who claimed that he acted as such by request of the probate judge and purely as a favor to him, was William E. Hazen. The latter further told Selectman Row land that there had been nothing in it' for him and therefore he thought it hardship that he should now be called upon to pay taxes of SIT, rep resented by two liens which were not was sold at auction and conveyed by administrators deed. The record shows, however, that $50 was taken from the proceeds of the sale as a fee for the administrator and $50 as the fee of the probate judge. Other charges made a total of $175 and this for settling an estate of $500 which had no debts or choses in action such as often occasion trouble and expense. One of the charges was for the taxes still due. At their meeting last Sat- urday the selectmen instructed Col lector Duncan to press the claim against MT. HaZen. They also in- structed him to advertise for sale five small parcels of property to satisfy the liens with which they are plaster ed. All the tangles and disputed claims on the two books compiled by Accountant Soule to include the taxes have now been cleared. The claims on the two books amounted to about s3.700 and will probably yield about -S2000.

APPOINTEES TO
 TAKE PERSONAL TAX NOT NAMED

Mayor Buckingham has not decided as yet how many men he will appoint to collect the personal tax. The city of Hartford has appointed four of these collectors. It is within the pow CT of the mayor to fix the salaries of the collectors whom he appoints to the place.
 It is estimated that there will be over $50,000 to collect in Bridgeport as every man between the ages of 21 and 60 whether he is voter or not is liable to the tax unless exempt through being a cripple or as the result of military and fire service for the number of years specified by law.
 General Registrars of Voters James H. Rooney and William Lounsbury who are completing the lists of those residents liable to the personal tax will lodge the same with Town Clerk Thomas on January 31. The outlook is that the list will have between 29,000 and 30,000 names inclusive of 18,0O0 voters. It Is estimated that between 4,O00 and 5000 will be exempt.

OTHERS CLAIM THE
 JENNINGS MILLIONS

Hartford, Jan. 19-Mr. and Mrs. G. E.. Branfer, who are in this city for a few weeks, read yesterday of the Can aan farmer, Whiting Proper, who has heard that he is to inherit part of a $200. 100000 estate in England, left by a distant relative, William Jen- nings. Mrs. Bramer felt that the story about the large estate was correct enough, but as for MT. Proper ever receiving any considerable share of it she was very doubtful, since she says that her oldest brother, William Lenden Jennings, now in Bermuda, is the direct descendant of the wealthy man who left the fortune, and that both she and her older brother, and sisters would certainly have a chance at it before the Canaan relative got any of the money.
