Feeters Exempt
 From Personal Tax This Year

New Haven. Jan 24-Corporation Counsel Kleiner has made known an opinion that the Governors Foot Guards will not have to pay the 1911 personal tax any more than they did the 1910 tax, thus reversing the gen eraI understanding that the 'tFeeters" would be liable for alI- the taxes af- ter the 1910 one, just like other citi- zenS.
 MT. K einer bases his opinion on the fact that the amendment to the per sonal tax law by the 1911 Legislature went into effect on November l, while the enrolment for the 1911 tax was made up for September 1, two months previous. He hold that to have this amendment apply to the I Il tax would be to make it retroactive, which is unconstitutional
 Previous to the 1911 amendment the personal tax law exempted all persons who had been exempted under the d military tax. The amen Sment reduces the number of limita tions and among others cuts out the Foot Guards MT. KIeiner's opinion means that the Foot Guards will not have to pay per sora, tax until 1913, when they pay the 1912 tax.

Strike Of Cigar
 Makers At End

New Haven. Jan. 24-The differences between the cigar makers and manu- lecturers of this city over the condi- tions prevailing at the Cunningham cigar factory on Franklin street, where the employees went out on strike on January 13, are amicably sett ed as the result of conference last night.
 The cigar makers. consented to go back to work with the agreement that if the shop is still found to be too cold or the roof leaky, as alleged by the men. MT. Cunningham will fepalr if ,non their complaint The shop has already been extensively repaired, according to the information secured by the cigar makers, and there will probably be no further trouble Ihe State factory inspector visited the shop yesterday and found that every thing was satisfactory.
 The trouble between the union ana manufa cturers has caused great inter est owing to the threat of the manu- facturers to make a general lockout unless the men returned to the Gun ningham shop.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION SHOULD NAME
 AT LEAST TWO WOMEN TO MEMT ERSH P

If the Board of Education meas Ires up to public expectancy it will appoint two women to fill the va cancies in its number; one of which already exists and the other of which is about to exist
 Since the first opportunity is upon the Republican side of the board, that side will have the first chance sergGatifyz- the demand for the ap- Dointment of a. woman. At the end of the service of MT. Veness the Democratic side of the board will be able to follow.
 That a body composed entirely of men should have sole supervision of teaching corps of more than 300 women and 15.OOO children of both sexes is one of those almost unthink- able barbarisms which exist in civi- ized society because of the inertia of old traditions, unreasons and con Ventions.
 For some centuries men thought that women had no souls and only could gain salvation through men. For some further centuries women had no civil rights. Some nations

Belief That Charles Hard Was Pre-
 pairing For Breakfast.

Ansonia, Jan. 2f-Charles Hard. for many years a well known resident of Seymour, was found dead at his home on Woodside avenue, yesterday. Med teal Examiner E.. W.

 MT Hard had been in apparently good health. and was very active for a man of his advanced age. He re- sided in d cottage on Woodside ave nue, near the Oxford town line. He took his meals at the home of his daughter, Mrs. E. A. Wyant. and when he did not pNt in an appearance yes terday morning, it was feared that something was wrong. An investiga- tion resulted in finding MT. Hard fully dressed, sitting up in a. chair but with life extinct MT. Davis stated that he had been dead about four hours, so it is believed that MT. Hard had prepared to go to L~eakfast when death visited him.

SURPRISE COMES
 IN STEEL PROBE
Farrell Says U. s. Steel Had No Dealings With Harvester
 Co. For Six Years
TELLS STORY OF THE BREAK
Was Generally Believed That the Two Great Corporations Had Inter-
 locking Directors.

Washington. Jan. 24-James 4. Far rel. president of the U. $. steel Cor poration, surprised the Stanley "steel trust Investigating committee yes terday with the statement that the steel corporation and the International Harvester company have had no bus mess dealings with each other for a period of five or six years.
 The information coming on the eve of a proposed investigation of the Harvester company by Congress, in which 1t was sought to show that the Harvester company and the Steel Cor poration had interlocking directors and that the latter gave rebates to the for mer on steel, was doubly surprising.
 Representative McGillicuddy of Maine, questioned President Farrell about the export business of the steel corporation, and rebates given to cer- tain companies.
 Isn't it fact that the Interna- rebates than are granted smaller con cerns?' MT. Gillicuddy asked.
 We have done no business with the international Harvester company, Farrell replied. The International Harvester company has had boy colt on this corporation. It all grew out of a controversy with one of our subsidiary companies and the Har- vester company. It started as mere qufbble between salesmen and result ed in a com plete severance or DuSl- ness citations. There is absolutely nothing in common between us. We don't do business with them
 Among the board of directors of the United States Steel corporation are Ebert H. Gary. George F. Baker. Geo. W Perkins and Norman B. Ream, all of whom also are directors of the. h. ternatiOnal Harvester company. MT. Gary is chairman of the board of the United States Steel corporation and Mr. Perkins is chairman of the finance committee of the International Harvester Company.
 President Farrell was interrogated at length relative to a reported inter- national organization of steel manu- lecturers to control the price of steel rails He explained that European rnaEufa cturers had such an organiza- tion but that the United States Steel corporation was not party to it.

Vaccination Voted
 Down In New York
Scratching The Kids" Arms No Use, Says Alderman Bowling

New York, Jan. 24-The Aldermen took up nearly two hours of their time yesterday discussing vaccination. The finance committee recommended that $1O.O0O in special revenue bonds be is sued to pay for the employment of special medical officers to visit the public schools and tenement houses and Vaccinate children. Alderman Bowling, the Tammany leader, oppos- ed the resolution. He objected to city doctors invading the homes of the poor and scratching the arms of the children in the tenements,' and any way, he added, he thought vaccina- ion was a fad" Alderman Curran, the Chairman of the finance committee, said that the money had been asked for by pr. Lederle of the Board of Health, and he warned Bowling that smallpox epidemics came around about every ten years and that one was due this year and that if the city was not prepared to deal with it Bowling and his Tammany co leagues would have to take the responsibility for the deaths which would result from the non Appropriation of the money.
 ity,'' replied Bowling, because I don't see any epidemic in sight, and if it is to come spending $10.000 on scra tchinG kids arms won't keep it off any way
 The Tammany men voted with Dovl- ing with the result that not sufs sicient votes could be raised to make Ae ap- propriatfon.

Pastor Peters To Turn Grocer
 In Aiding Poor

New York, Jan. 24-The Rev. Madi- son C. Peters will open grocerS sore on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, in a room at 40 East 125d street, which is used in the evening for m 'ssion ser vice. It is the opening gun in a cam paign against middlemen. the short weight storekeeper, and the high cost of living. Other stores are to be opened if this one proves successful. From many quarters Dr. Peters is re- ceiving encouraging indicators tha+ he will have loyal support in the enter prise, and all he asks is 'that he snail break even.
 He said last evening that he had been following with interest a similar crusade waged in Indianapolis by M " or Shank, and liked the work done by that doughty municipal officer of the Middle West.
 eff we had a Mayor like Shank in New York; he said, i've coud come pretty close to abolishing poverty
 It can hardly be said, however, that Dr. Peters got his idea from Mayor Shank. It had been developing grad ualIy as he has surveyed the house keepers problem and studied the eco- monies of farmers and middlemen.
 q knew that the farmers were get ting $9, GOO, GOO 900 for their products and that the consumers were paying S13,- O00. .0cO 900 for them, and it seemed to me that that was too wide a mar gin'

long since dictated calling women to the assistance of the police authori- ties
 If cons'd derations of wisdom. of justice and of decency even call for a matron at police headquarters, where usually only the criminal. and degraded will be objects of her charge. how much more do the same considerations demand the presence of women upon the school board. with it's teaching corps of women and it's army of 15,OOO girls and boys.
 The common belief is that the schools should have the oversight of Board of Education which com pines the peculiar capacities of men and women. Other and large cities have found the wisdom of men alone not sufficient to the best results. They have called in women. Such cities are New York, Chicago and Boston.
 The Board of Education should take action appropriate to put the management of the schools of this city on level with th~ best. They should select to be members of the Board at least two. broad minded, diligent, competent women enthus1as- tic in the cause of education and fn- ed with woman's affection for chit dren and understanding of child m -,,re
