ABOUT TAX DoDGING.

GAOOOL E1zA 6NO044ANNLs
The Daily News prints an edi-
torial on How to Cure Tax
Dodging." Vic Lawson, owner of
the News, being about the big
gest tax dodger in town, ought to
be able to give an expert opinion
on that subject.
However, the real way to cure
tax dodgin gis to make tax dodg-
ers pay their taxes.
But to do that you've got to
have tax officials who are not con-
trolled by tax dodgers.
And that means you've got to
have tax officials not owned and
controlled by big newspapers and
crooked big business.

Druggists Object
 To Anti-TOxin Law
Because it Will Deprive Them
 of Trial Business

A dispatch from Derby yesterday an nounced that the druggists of that city object to the free distribution of anti toxin by the state under the law pass ed by the last General Assembly on the ground that it will deprive them of that business
 -Dr. Joseph H. Townsend of the state board of health, when asked if he had heard of the opposition, replied that he had not but he said he could easily deem 1t probable. He said the drug gists who will act as distributing agents for the state were willin g enough to do so, but that other drug gists would undoubtedly find thtsir sales diminished. The anti-toxins, he said, had been at such a prohibi i've price that they had been out of the reach of poor people. He added, how ever, that as the appropriation made by the state for the distribution of anti-toxins amounted to but $S,0O0 and as no restriction was placed upon the class of applicants, the appropriation would not last a great while.
 The matter received considerable at tention at the last quarterly meeting of the state board of health and at that time 1t was felt that, under the wording of the act, it would be diff cult to restrict the distribution to needy persons. In some of the states, where 8. free distribution of anti-tox- in is made, the statute restricts the gift to those who are unable to pay but the Connecticut law contains no restriction whatever, except fn the mat ter of the appropriation.

French Fighter
 Loses To Denning But Marcel MOreau Makes Good Showing Before New
 York Fans

Marcel Moreau, the French middle weight, made his bow before New York fight fans at the. New Years matinee show of the Fairmont A. C., yesterday, and though defeated by Jack Denning in a fast and fiercely fought ten-round bout, the French man was far from disgraced. With the exception of the first and fourth rounds, all the sessions went to the American, whose clever boxing had the Frenchman punching holes in the air while Denning was making a tar get of his face and body. Jack out boxed Moreau, landing three punches to one, but the Frenchman still was coming head-on at the final clang of the bell.
 The Frenchman did not like Jacks lightning left jab. Denning kept popping away with his left at Nor eau'S head till the Frenchman got dizzy. The punches that did the real damage. however, were right upper cuts delivered as Moreau came in and right cross counters, which killed Moreau'S leads. Denning repeatedly beat Moreau to the punch, getting in side with his left or crossing with his right every time Moreau started a lead. Moreau, however, kept walking in and apparently was unhurt by Dennings smashes. Moreau appear ed to pack a good punch. He lacked boxing skill, but showed himself to be a strong, sturdy scrapper, and one who might turn the tables on Den ming in a longer battle.

PLOWHORSE WON
 FORTUNE FOR OWNER

As the greatest money winner among trotters of the season just closed. or for that matter, any other year, R. T. C., 2:06sz, "the blow horse'' trained and driven by Thomas w. Murphy, made a record unequaled among trotters. Thirty-two thous- and and twelve dollars and fifty cents was the amount won by this product of the state of Delaware, and, aside from his money-wInning record, he is the only trotter of note that even went through a campaign of like du- ration without the loss of a single race and but one heat, says Trotter and Pacer
 He won nine races, embracing 27 heats, ranging from 2:O6% to 2;121z. He reduced his record from >2:14H to 2:06% and touched the later figure three times-at Grand Rapids in July, at Co., lumbus in August, and again at Co., lumbuS tn September. He won five events of the value of $10, 900 each, and the sum of hs earnings foots up the figures quoted above.
 When it is cons' dered that he was pitted against not only the best horses in his class on the grand circuit, hut also the flower of the season in the green, or practically green, division, in cluding Lewis Forest. 2:O6A; Gay Au- dubon, 2:061z; The Huguenot, 2:07%; Ario Leyburn, 2:075z Lulu Arion, 2:0SN and others, the magnitude of his vic tories and earnings is impressive and significant.

WOLGAST SERIOUSLY
 ILL WITH PNEUMONIA
 AND MANAGER WORRIED

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 2-That Ad wcIgast. champion lightweight pugil- ist, who is confined to his bed at Ven ice with a severe cold, is seriously i'll and. is threatened with pneumonia, was admitted yesterday afternoon by Manager Tom Jones' Jones stated that Wolgast's temperature was 1O1 and that he was in severe pain. pr. Palmer, who is attending the sick champion, was summoned three times during Sunday night and early yester- day. WoIgast contracted the cold Sunday night in an automobile trip from Venice to Los Angeles.
 Since his release from the hospital, where he was operated on for appen- dicitis in November, Wolgast has felt so good that he could not resist the temptation to get out every day, and baked at anything that meant indoor existence, despite instructions from his manager. Owing to the fact that Wolgast has not fully recovered his strength from the recent operation, his present illness is regarded more seriously than otherwise would have been the case.

KeneaIy Isn't Helping Roraback
 To A Promotion

New Haven. Jan. 2-That Chairman Michael Kenealy of the Republican State Central Committee, is playing a shrewd game with the Mclean faction of the Republicans who want to see J. H. Roraback of Canaan placed in charge of the affairs of the State Cen tral Committee as it's chairman, is the opinion of some of the Republican leaders who have been trying to get a meeting of the State Central Com mittee held here somewhere about Jan uary IS, when President Taft is com ing to New Haven to attend the Cham Der of Commerce dinner. Efforts have been made to have Chairman Kenealy call the State Central Committee for asmeettng here about the time of the do it. He is putting it off until after the Taft dinner is out of the way. It Is given out that as a possible req son that MT Kenealy doesn't want the meeting held about the time of Taft's visit to New Haven Is because a Mo Lean man may be put in as chairman to succeed him. J. H. Roraback Is the man whom the Mclean men want to put in as chairman. MT. Roraback is now down at Atlantic City with Mrs. Roraback and when, some of the Republican leaders were asked why he has gone away they explained that he ts down there recuperating and get ting ready for a vigorous campaign in Connecticut.
 
 back is going to be pretty active in the next few months. There was a conference yesterday in this city of several of the Republican State lead CTS. They would not tell what was doing. Some of them, speaking about Kenealy's attitude in regard to call ing the State Central Committee to- gether at the date suggested in New Haven, said that they believe that the chairman of the State Central Com mittee may not resign at all, and that he will let it pass until the State con- Vention chooses a new committee. At the conference it was said that it was practically certain that the delegates at-Farge to the Chicago convention who will nominate the next Republi- can candidate for the Presidency will be Charles F. Brooker of Ansonia, the present National Committeeman from this State; Charles Hopkins Clark of Hartford, Senator Mclean and Sem ator Brandegee. Four years ago Brandegee and his colleague in the Senate, Senator Morgan c. BulkeIey, were out aga:nst Taft, but this year Brandegee declared himself in favor of Taft. That puts him in line, and he will, it is said, be a member of the Connecticut delegation to the Chicago convention next June, and there will be no fight against J. H. Roraba who may be a district delegate, so it was stated.

HOW PAT DOUGHERTY MADE GOOD IN GHICAGO
 WHITE SOx OUTFIELD

Jack Sheridan, the veteran American league umpire, has a record of not only putting one player out of the game, but also out of the major lea que. ''Tip'' O'NeiI. former outfielder Of the Minneapolis club, was the victim. In 1906 OfNei was playing in the out field for the White Sox and doing good work. Fielder Jones, who was then managing the Chicago club, had just purchased Pat Dougherty as a utility gardener, and the latter joined the team in Boston
 During one of the games with the Red Sox, O'Neil attempted to- steal second, but after the dust cleared away Sheridan waved him out.
 He never touched me at all," pro yfaYes he did," snapped Sheridan.
 tfYou had better have your eyes ex- amtned.'' retorted O'Neil, You're go- ing blind"
 ssThat may be-" returned the umpire. 'but you're through for this after noon and can go to the clubhouse now.
 Dougherty took O'NeirS place in right field, and won the game for the White Sox with a timely bingle. O'Neil was notified the next morning that he had been suspended for three days. Dougherty pulled off so much Sensa- tIonaI stuff while O'Neil was serving out his suspension that Fielder Jones never took him out Of the game again, and that fall the White Sox sold O'Nen to the Minneapolis club.

CONNIE MACK SLIPPED CARR AND PLANK TEN
 CENTS FOR CARFARE HOME

Detroit, Jan 2.-Connie Mack at times is the most sarcastic manager in baseball. On the face he has an easy-going disposition, yet he is one of the sternest disciplinarians in the game, although he is never apparent ly stern.
 During the early days of the Amer jean league Mack had as first base man the veteran Charley Carr, who was recently appointed manager of the Kansas City team of the American as- SooiaEon.
 This was in 1901 and Mack was hav- ing a struggle to keep above water here. He had a raw-boned youth named Plank on the mound one day: The Athletics played wretched1y. Planks pitching being as bad as the Mackmen's fielding.
 Carr was a particularly bad perform CT. After the giant first baseman dropped his third thrown ball, Mack became wild, but in a qPfet way. He waited for Carr as he was walking to the bench. Taking a dime from his pocket, he handed it to Carr.
 ''Why, what's that for ?'' said Carr in surprise.
 its carfare home.' replied Mack coldly, ''and take Plank with you.''
 Mack meant what he said and didn't permit either Carr or Plank to play any more that day.

5000 Personal
 Tax DeIinquentS
 In New Haven

New Haven, Jan. Flax Collector William H. Hackett will today send men who have failed to pay their per sonal tax over to City Attorney John R. Booth. According to the latter's statements, he has been waiting only to receive this list to start wholesale arrests and prosecutions. This list contains the name of every man lia- ble for the tax who ha.J failed to pay up to the present time, on everyone of whom Tax Collector Hackett has made a formal demand by mstil as required by the law.
 The fact that Tax Collector Hackett sent out these demands obViates the necessity of haling in the offenders on subpoenas and having MT. Hackett make a personal demand on them these men without further red tape in patches of 100 or 200 a day until the whole list is cleaned up. MT. Booth will probably start making out the warrants today and may have the first of them served by tomorrow.
 Tax Collector Hackett and his staff didn't take any rest on New Years day but were busy up to II o'clock at night They posted up the books and finished up the list of personal tax delinquents. This list MT Hack placed in MT. Booths hands either this morning or afternoon. He said he had not counted up the list but that it numbered somewhere between 5000 and 6,OOO names. He will keep a duplicate of the list he sends to MT. Booth, on which to check of those who come in and pay.
 True to his promise that he would have the regular property tax bills out on time. MT. Hackett sent out be- tween 14.oOO and 15,OOO yesterday, cleaning them all up in one batch. These were all mailed at the post office yesterday afternoon and peo- ole may expect them in the morn ing mail.
 The 1912 personal tax bills will be out about the last of the week. They would have been sent out sooner were it not for the fact that the tax book contai lining the list of those liable was not delivered to the collector until a few days ago.
 MT. Hackett sent out the personal tax bill on the regular property tax bill where that was possible. The indexing in the personal tax book was so poor, however, that many of the bills which should have been sent out in this way will have to be- sent out separately
