That the hill for the revision OF the city
charter gives the city council power to
make assessments and tax levies IN too
great amount, is the opinion of r. y.
Wead, chairman of the legislative commit
tee OF the Real Estate exchange.
The committee according 70 Mr.. Wead.
will take the proposed provisions up with
the committee that framed the bill and
ask that certain changes be made.
"on the face Of the bill, il looks as II It
provides for the increase OF tax levies from
100000 to Si,25O,OOO for all purposes" said
Mr.. Wead.
But, on investigation, l find that tile
total increase is 100000, exclusive Of rev
enue that win be derived from wheelage
taxes. Thisl Is altogether too much
In addition to giving the city council
power to apportion S25OO00 for an interest

Indebtedness OF the city, a provision is
made which permits the council to vote
an additional 100000 to be set aside as
bond sinking fund for the retirement OF
matured bonds or such unmatured bonds
as the city council may direct. The S25O,OOO

The impression has gone out that he

TAX DISTRICT
 CONSOLIDATION
 HERE TOO LATE

Alderman R. G. DeForest, paying a feetfng visit to the City Hall this forenoon, pointed out in a discussion of the proposed charter amendment of Alderman MacFayden abolishing the two tax districts of Bridgeport. that it would be impossible, should the Common Council favorably consider the proposition to take the matter up during the current session of the Gen. eral Assembly, though the Aldermen at their meeting Monday evening re- garded 1t as possible. At the meet ing Monday, Alderman DeF'orest viz orously opposed the adoption of the MacFayden resolution, which was contemplated, and his warning against hasty action resulted in the reference of the proposition to the Miscellaneous committee of the council.
 Alderman DeForest says that Sec tions z and II of the general statutes prevent action on the matter The gave certain rights to the residents of the first district. he argues, which would be abrogated with the removal of the First and Second tax districts. The petition to effect this removal would come under the heading of a petition of an adversary nature, and Section 2 provides that no such petf- tion shall be acted upon unless it is docketed by the eighth day of the ses- sion He also maintains that Section il of the statutes precludes action in this General Assembly because the proposed change has not been adver- tised in advance of the opening of the assembly.

MASSING OF TROOPS WARNING TO BOTH

(Special from United Press.

New York, April 6-The New York Sun, today, prints the following des- patch from it's staff correspondent at Fl Paso:
 "A man who is in very close touch with the Mexican Foreign office and who is now here, is authority for the statement that the real reason for the sending of American troops to the border was a caution to both Japan and Mexico. Regardless of denials it has finally become known in certain quarters, he said, that the United States troops were sent to Texas be- cause pressure was being brought to bear on Mexico by Japan for a coaling station.
 ''It is said that Japan insisted that Mexico must grant a coaling station to her if it permitted the United States to continue to use Magdelena Bay. Mexico was forced, therefore. to withdraw the United States conces- sion. Following this Japan began us- ing pressure against Mexico for a coaling station anyhow Then the United States troops were sent as warning to both Mexico and Japan"

PRISONER PRIEST BREAKS DOWN AT
 MURDER TRIAL
Especial from United Press )

Much of today's disturb lawyers for the defendants, who sev- eral times made charges that favorit- ism was being shown.
 This caused violent demonstrations in the steel cage containing the pri- soners and Judge Bianchi suspended the session.
 At numerous times during the priests questioning by the Judge, he broke down and wept. At other times he pleaded for divine aid in his fight for vindication.
 vitozzi contended that what he knew of the operations of the Cam orrists he learned in his mission as a priest, it being necessary to come in contact with sin before he could fight it. he argued. He said he knew AL fano. Rapi Tbelli and the other noted Camorrists who are charged with the murder of Gennaro Cuoccolo, were bad men, engaged in crimes. but he tried to be their friend that he night help them.
 He denied all knowledge of the murder of the Cuoccolos and crossed himself as he made the denial.
 When asked why he had informed the officials when Alfano and others of the Camorrists were first arrest ed. that he knew through the con fessional who the real murderers were. thus bringing about the temporary of the prisoners, Vitozzi that time and that he believed abso- lutely the story told him.
