PERSONAL TAX REPEAL WILL FOLLOW DECISION
 Expecting That Incoming Legislature Will Carry Out Party Plank.

The supreme court of the state has handed down an option on the per sonal tax which means a great deal of business for constables, sheriffS and justices of the peace and an easy time for the police. The decision Is to the effect that the personal tax Is civil matter and no criminal officer can operate in the way of collecting it. In the way suggested by the supreme court the delinquent will have to pay the justices, the tax collector and the constable, which means a good deal more than the police court costs.
 This way of collecting the tax will be more costly to the delinquent than the old way of Juggling him into the police court and having him pay costs of $5 or upward.
 The expectation, any way, Is that the incoming legislature will abolish the statute. There is a plank in the dem ooratic platform calling for the repeal of the tax and there Is little doubt that a sufficient number of republicans in the house will cooperate with the democratic majority in the senate and pass the repeal.

BRIDGE OVER TRACKS
 BY NEXT SPRING.
New Haven Road Officials View Stua
 ton at New London Station.

In order to carry out the directions Of the public utilities commission as to the location of an overhead bridge at the New London railroad station, c. C, Elwell, engineer of the commission. and the New Haven road officials have decided upon bridge that will have its entrance at the western end and aongside of the station platform. Stairs will lead to the bridge. which will be 21 feet above the railroad tracks, so that brakemen standing on top of freight cars will clear the bridge. About half way up the flight there will be a landing. The exit will be located at point near the entrance to the ferry house of the Thames Fer .. " company, the stairs being construct ed with at least two landings and zig zasging from the bridge platform to the ground below. similar to the stairs of elevated stations in the large cities. The bridge as ordered will be of steel and will go over the tracks without any intermediate supports.
 The bridge will be erected as soon as possible, but it will not be in po- sition probably until early spring as the officials of the New Haven road state that they are unable to secure the steel for the construction.

CONNECTICUT POSTMASTERS, Forecast That Too Great Political Act witty Will Be Made Grounds for Re- movaI.

Ever since the result of the national election became known among the Connecticut men who are filling fed eral positions in Washington, D. C., there has been every day speculation as to what position President elect Wilson will take when the question comes before him of appointing demo- crats to fill the flrst-class postmaster ships in Connecticut.
 These first class postmasterships are in Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Meriden, New London, Norwich, Stamford, South Norwalk, Danbury, Middletown, New Britain, Willimantic, Ansonia and in a number of other towns in the state. In near ly every case there is specified time named when the terms of these post masters expire. It has been ascer- tained that the date of expiration # service for many of the postmasters in Connecticut will not come until sev- eral months after the inauguration of President elect Wilson. With Nor wich the last commission issued to the postmaster was in 1910 for a term 1f four years.
 It is known that MT. Wilson is a great stickler for civil service and that he stands out whenever the epportunl- ty comes to him in favor of naming for efflce men whe are qualified for office by experience rather than quail fled because of their political influence or the political influence of others. It Is the belief here among the Con- necticut federal office holders that democratic leaders in Connecticut will be prepared to submit to President Wilson right after March 4 next evi- dence to show activity in politics of d number of the republican postmasters 1 in Connecticut and with that evidence as a foundation will endeavor to i'm press upon President Wilson that such political activity on the part of fed eral office holders has been in viola | ton of the rule that federal office holders should keep out of the field of active politics.
 There is a good deal of speculation as to what the new administration : attitude will be with reference to as- sistant postmasters. The office of as- | sistant postmaster has only recently been placed in the civil service list There is a well defined feeling that in many of the postof1ces in Con- necticut and elsewhere in the country the assistant postmasters who were political appointees in the first place would have considerable difficulty il put to a civil service test to pass sucf test. In some quarters here there is ! | feeling that when President Wilson takes up the reins of government and the postofflce department is put in charge of democratic postmaster
 general, there will be started an In quiry to find out how thoroughly qual. filed for their duties are the assistan postmasters in Connecticut and in thu 1 other states of the Union. If 1t should
 be found that there are number O
 assistant postmasters who would b. deficient in a civil service examination then there would be many more of fees in the postofflce vacant into whicl might go qualified democrats.

In East Lyme Right of Way Case-Defendants Attorneys Move to Set Aside Case Not Ready For Superior Court-Adultery Charged Against Insurance Canvasser

two children. He met the woman in Ottawa, when he was a street car conductor. Later he came to the Con- necticut city and secured a position with an insurance company. The wo- man wrote to him, saying she wanted to come here, and he assisted her with carfare.
 A letter from her is to figure in Webb's defence in the superior court, according to Perry J. Hollandersky, Webb's counsel, who read a section of 1t to a reporter. It said: T can't get any money out of Will and if you don't send me some will have to go out and get fellow on the street to get $1." Webb said this letter was an appeal from the woman to help her out and this is what he intended to do when he got into trouble.
 Mrs. Hand, as she calls herself, came to New London from Canada and met Webb. Hand followed within a few days, learning where the woman was. He persuaded her to return home with him and forgave her. She said Webb abused her and threatened to shoot Hand on sight.
 It was in fear of trouble with Webb that Hand and the woman he says is his wife went to police headquarters Tuesday night to lodge a complaint with the lieutenant against Webb. They had finished talking several min utes and started to leave the building when Webb entered. He charged the Hands with blackmail, saying they had demanded money from him.
 Lieutenant Jeffers called Prosecut- ing Attorney Cronin into consultation and on the advice of the prosecutor Webb was arrested. Wednesday morn ing a complaint was drawn, charging | both Webb and Mrs. Hand with adul- tery. It was later withdrawn and | another complaint charging Webb alone was substituted. The woman was not presented but was ordered to ap- l pear against Webb at the January session of the superior court.
