REAL NAME OF KESSNER SHOWN
 TO BE HORWITZ
Taken Off His Guard By ecutor Youthful White Slayer Discloses His Cognomen.

Harry Kessner' became Morris Horowitz' on the police record today when the young white shaver was held in bail of $1,o00 for trial in the Superior court, charged with att tempting to place Martha Mitchell, aged 16, into an immoral resort in New Haven.
 The discovery that Kessner was using an assumed name resulted in an anonymous communication to Prosecutor Delaney.
 Tt is not right for this man to be hiding behind the name of another" |" said the unknown writer. "HiS name is Morris Horowitz.''
 Today when he responded to the name of Kessner. Prosecutor Delaney him:
 "Just what is your right name, Morris?''
 Morris Horowitz,' came the re- ply, for Morris was caught off his guard
 der the name of Kessner among his fellow workmen. He is a painter.
 His counsel, Attorney Israel J. Cohn, secured a continuance of the two charges against him until today. Kessner was charged with having with having attempted to place the girl in an immoral resort
 Attorney Cohn submitted his argu- ment for his client in written form, questioning the prosecution of his client under the particular section of the statute under which it was brought. Judge Wilder did not pass upon the charge of indecent assault, but held the man on the single charge connected with the immoral resort.
 Horowitz has no hope of securing a bondsman. In the upper court the charge of indecent assault may be in the prosecution of Horowitz if the states attorney sees fit to do so.

It is Recommended That in Making Leases Preference be Given to Certain ''Natural Growers Rental Charge to be $l Per Acre and a Productivity Tax of Two Gents Per Bushel of Oysters
Board Also Recommends Much Larger Tax On Grounds in Perpetual Lease and Aboli- ion of State Police on Oyster Beds

The long expected effort to turn the natural oyster beds into private property will undoubtedly come to a focus in the present General Assembly, since this course is recommended by the Board of Equalization in it's re- port on the Investigation of oyster grounds. The dose which will be so unpalatable for the natural growth ers'' of Bridgeport and other Sound cities is made pleasanter by a sug- gestion that the preference in grant ing franchises ought to be given to those persons who for the past five years cOnsecutively have held licenses to work on the natural beds and who live in the territory bordering on those beds.
 It is further suggested that no more than 25 acres of ground in the natur- al beds should be leased to one per- son, that no leases should be trans ferred or assigned, that no lease should run for more than ten years with the option of ten years more, and that at the death of the owner the lease should lapse to the State. It is proposed to charge the holders of these an annual rental of s1 per acre in ad- dftion to a productivity tax of 2 cents a bushel
 The proposition to change this pub lie property to private property is sup ported by the allegation that the beds will be more productive in private hands. -ls-.. e.,-.s.ss.-.s- al beds in Connecticut waters. the. choicest and the largest being Bridge port natural beds, which embraces g., 055 acres.
 The board asserts that continual use of the beds under the present sys- tenn will result in their entire im- poverishment. The annual output of the beds in seed oysters is alleged to be about 10000 bushels annually.
 The board proposes a number of radical changes in the States method of handling oyster ground, leased grounds.
 It suggests that no more perpetual owned by the State, or which may re- vert to the state.'
 That the paid public policing of grounds be repealed and a liberal bounty provided for the apprehension and conviction of anyone violating the shell fish laws.
 That the expense of inspectors to prevent dumping of mud be hereafter paid by the contractors.
 That the law inflicting the expense of setting buoys upon the State be re- pealed.
 That the tax law be amended to provide a minimum valuation of $10 an acre on all ground leased, and 15 mill tax, together with productivity tax of 3 cents per bushel. Owners are to be required to make confiden- tial reports of production.
 That theI natural beds described in the statutes be abolished as before described.
 That the State Board of Health be from time to time to in- spect the waters in which oysters are grown.
 That one member of the shell fish commission shall be a practical oys- terman who has had at least ten years experience in growing oysters in this State.

' Hartford. Jan. s1-One of the most Important measures thus far introduc- cd in either branch of the General Assembly was offered in the Sem ate today by Senator Jeremiah Dono- van Of Norwalk- It is a bill which provides for the repeal of the Statute under which a personal tax is collect ed in this State.
 The resolution was referred to the Judiciary committee. Senator Dono- van is a firm believer in the principle that this tax is unnecessary. He con- siders 1t hardship upon the masses who, he says, are already overbur- dened in the matter of taxation.
 Senator Donovan at the request of the General Conference of Congrega- tfonal churches of Connecticut today introduced an act which provides that no employe engaged in secular labor shall work more than six days of 10 hours In any one week and imposes a penalty of $200 on the employer.
