 MT. Hunter then referred to MT. HfiPS attitude on the income tax, say ing: "Now Congressman Hill is an ex- pert on taxation. He makes me think of the man that Sam Johnson once re- has only one idea, and that idea is a wrong one.'
 Wrong or right however, Hill is specialist on taxes. But has any man wealth, big incomes or inherit ances? Every other country in the world now has tax on incomes.

 Several weeks ago, Mrs. Burnasf, who was then lodging with the Mabys in company with her husband and two children, complained to the police of the complaint was not of such na- ture that it could be prosecuted. Ac- cording to her story, matters became so unpleasant in the house that she

Today she swore out. a war rant for the proprietor, charging him with theft. Detectives Fox and Si- mon were sent to serve the paper and obtain the goods. Upon entering the house the warrant was read, and Maby was requested to accompany the officers. This he refused to do and was held by Officer Simon while De- tective Fox accompanied by Mrs. Burnash ascended the staircase to the room formerly occupied by her. At the head of the stairs she was met by Mrs. Maby who struck her across the face. The infuriated mistress then perceiving her husband was struggling with Officer Simon jumped upon Off, cer Fox and clung to him in a 'tSappho'' embrace which precipitated both down the staircase.

MILITIA CAPTAIN
 ACCUSED OF LIBEL
 SUED FOR SI5,000

Upon the ground that he was driven from the Connecticut National Guard and humiliated in the eyes of his friends, Attorney Horace M. Gray of Norwalk has brought suit against Capt. Albert Mossman of the 9th Company, Coast Artillery, for $1500O damages. Papers in the action were filed today in the Superior court.
 Gray says he re-en1isted in the 9th Company on August 24, 1909. He was ambitious to advance in the service and his father wrote to the colonel of the regiment regarding the plaintiff s advance. When the matter was re- ferred to Capt. Mossman for endorse ment, it is alleged Capt. Mossman wrote 'tSergt. Gray has such an un- fortunate personality that if advanced higher the company would suffer grievously.''
 Gray says this statement was false and malicious, destroyed the plaintiff S military character, injured him in his profession and deprived him of friends and associates. Later Gray applied for an honorable discharge from the company and was refused.
 Attorney Gray is one of the best known lawyers in Norwalk and Capt Mossman is also prominent resident The action is returnable to the No vember term of court.
