DEATH SENTENCE FOR
 25 JAP ANARCHISTS
(Special from United Press. )

E Especial from United Press.)
 Tokio. Jan. 18-The expected death sentence upon Dr. D. Ikotoku. his wife and g other Anarchists. for having conspired against the life of the Mi kado. was passed upon the prisoners today by Judge Joichiro Tsuru. of the Supreme court. The conspirators were found guilty. last December, sentence being deferred until today to give semblance of consideration to the many protests that were received against the execution of the Anarch- iStS.
 Many of these protests came from America. the novelist. Jack London, being one of the signers of a big petit tion asking for clemency.
 The trial of Kotoku, who was for merly a leading newspaper man. and his co-conspirators. was c9nducted secretly. despite an acce-1pt being made to have it appear that the court sessions were open. Just what the evidence developed has never been made public. It was said that a dy- namite attack on the Emperor was planned to take place while the ruler was on visit to one of the military schools just outside the capital. It was the first time that anyone had ever been accused of such an offense. and the arrest of the plotters occa- stoned intense indignation.

PENCOLSKI BREAKS LEG
 WRESTLING

When Prof Jim Atlas started his successful revival of the wrestling game in this city, he unwittingly put thoughts into the brain of Vincent Pencolski, stalwart lad of 21, living with his parents in Hamilton street, that today resulted in the lads re- ceiving a broken leg and being sent to St. Vincent's hospital for repairs.
 Pencolski is a Pole. With a number of others of his native land waiting near the employment office of the Crane Valve Co.,, he began a discus sion of Zbyszko's ability as a wrestler. Pencolski is an enthusiastic admirer of his athletic compatriQt. Discussion of the various holds in which Zbyszko excelled led to an impromptu tourna- ment among the would be toilers.
 Pencolski was in a fair way to dem- onstrate that he may some day claim honors on the mat when he fell in the clutches of his muscular adver- sary and cried out with pain. His left leg was broken.
 pr. Krause took the wrestler to St. Vincent's hospital in the ambulance.

STATE TAX
 LETTER TO
 ALL MAYORS
Buckingham Shows that State Tax May Be Avoid
 ed By ? "roly In State Expenditures and Addi-
 tional Levy on Monopolies

Mayor Buckingham today issued 8 letter to every mayor in Connecticut, inviting sco-operation to prevent levy ing of state tax, and advising an in crease in the tax upon public service monopolies, the property of which is not taxed where located.
 Mayor Buckingham does not want the cities and towns taxed for state expenses. If the state cannot make both ends meet by practicing due economy the mayor suggests that they raise the rates of the railroads, street railroads, telephone companies and other monopolies before they tax homes and farms, as was done by the last legislature. The mayor is inter- esting all of the mayors in the state in the fight
 The state tax made the tax rate in this city over one mill higher last year, and was the cause of raising local taxes in every part of the state. A copy of a letter mailed by the mayor, today, to every mayor in the state, is as follows:

 Both the expressing clerk and the clerk of bills draw salaries of g, 800, and their terms practically end with the rising of each General Assembly, The assistant clerkship pays $1 .50O The clerk of the House receives $2, 800 and the clerk of the Senate. $3, 500 Under this new departure. whoever becomes assistant clerk in the House is reasonably certain of passing on until he becomes Senate clerk, but after that. the old rule being no long, CT in force. he must take his chances Attorney Spafford. however. happens to be the first victim of the changed conditions. That he was not selected for either clerk of bills or expressing clerk in no sense reflects upon his ability. It simply means that Messrs.

 Under the statute the Judiciary committee must name the clerk of bills and expressing clerk today, and at meeting held this afternoon the selec- ton of Messrs. Hinman and Baldwin was ratified

WOULD LEAVE DEATH DAMAGE
 TO THE JURY
Rep. l.. 0. Peck Introduces Bill to Abolish Limit-AlsO Sends
 in Employers'L Liability Act
(From Our Special Cores )


 Hartford, Jan. 1S.-Representative Lester O. Peck of Bedding introduced two important bills in the House to- day. One is an Employers Liability bill, on practically the same lines as the law which has been in such suc- cessful practice in Massachusetts for the past ten years. The other is a bill wiping out the $5,000 limit in the so-called limitation bill'' for damages in case of death through ac- cident.
 Representative Peck's bill stipulates no sum that may be recovered but leaves it for the jury to find just damages. Both of these bills were referred to the Judiciary committee. troduced a bill providing for the an- nexation to Bridgeport of that part of the town of Fairfield known as the Brooklawn district, wherein is located the Slapp Spooner estate. The trustees of that estate are Judge Rob- ert D. DeForest, and Frank T.. Staples. The provisions of this bill have already appeared in full in The Farmer.
 A petition was received in the House today from the Siemon Hard Rubber company of Bridgeport ask ing for charter or act of incorpora- cities that there are no adversary in- terests involved. It is signed by Carl s. Siemon as president of the con- cern.
 A bill was introduced in the House providing for a closed season for Hungarian cartridges until Oct. 1, 1915.

Lear SIT.
 The General Assembly, at a session Tn 1909, authorized state tax of ono mill on the grand list of cities and towns, as capitalized by the Board of Equalization, payable in two install ments of one half a mill.
 This tax seems to me to have been unwarranted and unjust, and I be- lleve that the cities and towns should take steps to prevent the present General Assembly from authorizing A similar tax. If you are of the same opinion, l should be pleased to have you 3oln with Bridgeport in making a strong protest to the General As- sembly against the laying of this tax. It is true, that the state requires large revenues for the conduct of the business Of the commonwealth, but with the practice of reasonable econo< my a less revenue would be required. But even if the revenues of the state are not then sufficient, additional reve- nue should be obtained in some other way; for example, by an increase in the tax upon the property of such public service corporations as havg been free from taxes in the place where the property is located. Such tax would apply to the properties of railroads, telephone, telegraph and express companies, which are taxed by the state in practically every in stance, at less rate than is paid by property in cities, and less than the average tax rate in the state A slight increase in the rate imposed by si1e stat s.ss such property would raise large additional revenues and render state tax on the property of cities and towns unnecessary.
 The laying of this state tax has caused an increase of a tax rate in every city and has therefore become a burden, especially upon the smaller taxpayer.
 l shall be pleased to hear from you in reference to this matter at your earliest opportunity, and trusf that you will join with Bridgeport in opposing the continuance of this un- just state tax.
 The time is short, and any action that is to be effective must be taken without delay.
 Very respectfully yours,
 B. T. BUCKINGHAM,
 Mayor.

It is stated that near Carroll avenue the car Of the defendant approached within so short a distance of the car Of the plaintiff that the plaintiffs car could not pass to the right. The, driver of the plaintiffs car in order to avoid a collision, turned to the center of the street. The driver of the defen- dant's car at the same time turned in the same direction, the smashup fol- lowing. The plaintiff says the driver of the Land & Title co. car was OrlV- ing his machine in an unskillful man ner at an excessive and negligent rate of speed She claims she re- ceiyed injuries which may be of a permanent nature.

Hartford. Jan. 18-An important meeting of the Judiciary committee, held last evening. determined many matters of moment Perhaps the most interesting from a Bridgeport stand point relates to Attorney John A. Spafford of the firm of Spafford & Mallette.
 MT. Spafford has been assistant clerk and twice clerk of the House, and a1- so served one session as clerk of the Senate The custom in the past has been for the Senate clerk to become the clerk of bills. Governor Baldwin in his message advocated a departure from this method on the ground that the position of clerk of bills is one of great importance, and that the incum- bent should be selected without re- gard to his previously having served in either the House or the Senate.
 The committee by practically a unanimous vote upheld the Governors S view. with the result that Attorney Spafford will not be chosen for either the clerk of bills or the expressing clerk. It was virtually decided by the committee that George H. Hin man, who filled the position of en- crossing clerk two years ago. shall

Removal of Death Damage Lmi and WorNngens Compensa tiOn and Employers Liability Acts to Follow in Quick Succession Legislatures Usual Custom of Deter
 ring Most Important Measures to the Last
 is to be Reversed This Session

Legislature at this term. being delayed until the tail end of the session, as it was two years ago. will take prece- dence over the many measures of less importance. s~ A
 The same is true of the bill for the removal of the limitation of the dam ages claimable in deaths through ac- cident. The committee grappled with this subject and decided that inas- much as the only question involved in the proposed change is the removal of the limitation feature they should take it up among the very first meas ures. Consequently 1t was agreed that hearing upon this matter would be set for next Tuesday afternoon.
 Judge Banks also feels that as soon as the Public Utilities question is got ten out of the way the next consider ation of the committee should. if pos sible. be devoted to the important measure of Employers Liability and Workingmen's Compensation acts, so- called. N
 The committee was practically unani- nous in arriving at this conclusion.
