"Sail from Boston"

Good for the New Haven! The New
Haven is boosting New England through
the newspapers! OF course under pres
ent circumstances, boosting New Eng
land is practically synonymous with
boosting the New Haven; and yet
among all the other morals which may
be drawn from the above fact, one or
two may be mentioned here.
Evidently the New Haven is practs-
ing the precept so strongly advocated
by our friend, President McAdoo Of
New York--"tlie public be pleased"
rather than ''the public be damned; !"
and secondly, il has awakened to the
potent power of the public press to
reach the people and to disseminate the
views, or at least the atmosphere, it is
DESTROYS of intoxicating.
Even so conservative journal as the
Boston Advertiser recently called atten-
ton in strong editorial to the advan-
tages of talking to the people in this
way, and the advertising men are becom-
ing more and more of majority instead
Of minority in the realization Of what
publicity can do for an individual or an
institution.
FOR several years the IHgTlh Iupllci-
ty association, the Boston chamber OF
commerce, and other organizations have
been preaching boost New England
and here comes the New Haven taking
advantage Of all this shouting, realizing
that considerable sentiment has been
aroused which it can turn TO its own
account.
Good business sense land meanwhile
we note with pleasure that they are
plugging our game and New Eng
land il gaining publicity for her hills
and lakes. her ea-port towns, and her
great commercial advantages.
So it's good for the New Haven't
Pilgrim Publicity.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Taxation Measures Compared.

Dear Editor: You will be glad to give
credit to The Free Press and to such
men as +. 7. Jose for their sincere de-
sire to give individuals equality with
corporations in matter of giving and
seeking credit--but friends of Babbitt
bill must admit that their measure per-
mits absolutely no competition in such
loans and investments as are carried by
national banks, and only partial compe-
tition in such loans and investments as
are carried by savings bnnks, for saw
! ings banks are permitted to invest in
personal securities.
And they must admit that a large
class of loans, probably the largest class
numerically, are not and cannot be Sc
cured by real estate mortgages, and con-
sequently would get no relief or stimulus
| from passage of their measure. Also
that fiat rate measure extends 7-mill tax
to all loans, including real estate mort.
cages, and automatically works to elm
mate the worst kind of offsets, as il will
tax seven mills, without chance of off
setting same, such property as is held by
the richer class of our population.
They probably have not inquired as to
how far that class of property is at
present offset and paying no tax what
ever. II is probably true that a COM
paratively small portion of such prop
erty now legally subject to local rate
of taxation, viii pay any less revenue
by reason of 7-mill tax, for they will
be deprived of their right of evasion.
One thing is certain that during the
past few years in each locality hundreds
of thousands in individual loans have
been wiped out of existence, large por-
ton of them unsecured loans or secured
only by chattel mortgages.
Two years ago two fat rate bills were
passed-one signed by the governor, ex-
empting from local taxation all moneys |
controlled by banks-the other vetoed BY /
the governor. exempting from local taxa
ton all moneys controlled by individuals. /
One was as fair as the other. but the
banking interests prevailed. Since then
bank deposits have increased enormous
w. and individual credits have sunk to
almost nothing.
Put measures in proper perspective
the flat rate bill as~real issue. and Bab-
bitt bill as probable beneficial tancil-
laryl amendment.

Fugitive From Justice Arrested

After being a fugitive from justice
almost year and half James Jones.
anted in this city on charge Eot
shooting and wounding with intent to
kill, was captured yesterday afternoon
and is in Jail awaiting his examining
trial.
The capture of Jones, was brought
about through the efforts of Patrolman
| Fred Link, who was the arresting
officer. and after he had gained infor-
nation of the presence of the man in
this city, who has been so long sought
| by the police.
| Jones was reported Yesterday morn
ing to be at the home Of Mrs. Byrd on
Eighth street. and the officer went
there in search of him. However. his
efforts were without result. as Jones
was nowhere to be fund. Leaving
the occupants of the house Under the
impression that he was looking for
another party, the officer went away.
Later in the day Patrolman Link re-
turned to the place and in driving by
he saw Jones sitting on the porch.
Without displaying any intention to
arrest Jones he drove around TO the
rear of the house and coming in the
rear door, took Jones into custody. al
most before he was aware the officer
was in his presence.
Jones is wanted here for the shoot
ing of Sam Custer, a negro. at the
livery stable of Martin Bros, on the
afternoon of December 9, 1910.
The shooting occurred about A 80
o'clock in the afternoon. and is said
to have been unprOvoked.
Custer, who lived at Brentsville, a
negro settlement. had disposed of a
horse to Martin Bros. the day before
and being in town Saturday went to
| the stable on Eighth street. and was
seated in the office when Jones is said
to have entered. He became abusive
| and when Custer started to leave the
office, he drew his revolver and fired
| three shots into his body.
The first shot took effect near the
right shoulder blade, and the force of
| the shot turned him around, the second
shot entering his mouth while the
third shot struck him in the left breast
about three inches from the heart and
passed entirely through the body.
After the shooting, Jones. who was
unknown TO any of the witnesses. made
his escape out Eighth Street. but an
accurate description was furnished the
police. who ascertained later his name
and place of residence and dIligent
search was made for several weeks
without result.
Sometime after the shooting Jones
was reported to have been shot to
death IN fight at a dance in Scott
county. but it later developed that the
man killed was not the one wanted
here, but brother. The whereabouts
of the man who shot Custer remained
a mystery until the officials received
the Information yesterday that he was
in Paris, and which led to his arrest.
| Custer remained in a serious con-
dition for some time as a result of his
wounds but finally recovered. only tC
be stricken with blindness. He is &
negro of good character and is highly
respected. The examining trial Of
Jones has been set for Friday morning
at 10 o'clock and will be held by Squire
l.. j. Fretwell, who issued the warran
for his arrest on the night of the shoot

League Season Opens Tomorrow

Everything is in readiness for the
opening of the Blue Grass League in
this city tomorrow afternoon at White
Park. when the BourbonItes will meet
up with the Hustlers from Winchester
in the opening tilt of the season. and
the occasion promises to be one of
more than ordinary interest to the To-
cal fans. From the fact that this is
the first year since Paris has been a
member of the llue Grass League
that the season has opened here, is an
assurance of joyous welcome to the
advent of the great National sport
Not only is the game itself to be fea
ture, bat program incident to the
opener has been arranged and will oc
cupy prominent part in the ushering
in of the sport which by far is the
most welcomed Of any.
The local management is arranging
for a gala day on the occasion of the
opening of the season tomorrow, and
they will be assisted in marked de-
gree by the citizens and base ball fans
of the city. who are desirons of max
ing May /. the most memorable in the
history of baseball in Paris. The
Paris High School Band, fourteen
strong has been engaged and will head
the parade in the :afternoon to be
composed of the members of the two
clubs, the officers and long line of en-
thusiastic fans from both Paris and
Winchester.
Just where the parade will be formed
has not been definitely decided upon.
but march will b made to the ball
park. which it is calculated,will be in
adequated to accommodate the large
crowd that will assemble storwitness the
opening struggle in the championship
race. An iLvitation'has been extended
Mayor Hinton to make an address and
deliver the first ball. which he has ac-
cepted. and will be on hand tomorrow
afternoon to launch the opening con-
test.
The merchants have signlfied their
intention of closing their sores from
two until five O'Clock IN the afternoon.
to allow all employees to attend the
game which is scheduled to,be called at
3 :l5 o'clock. Manager Lewis is vet
undecided who he will pitch in the
opening contest as all of the hurlers
under contract have displayed remark
able ability in the practice games,
and was not prepared last night to
give complete lineup of the team.
Dunlap's injury Sunday afternoon
has upset the plans to some extent. as
it was intended to work the former
Central Lacquer on the first station.
Popkin, however. will likely fill that
position.
The information was given out last
night tn Elmer Locke, who played
last year in the Mountain State
I, eavue has been signed nv Paris and
will probably arrive to participate in
the opening game. He Is an infielder
and comes highly recommended.
