CONFEREES NEAR
 END OF THEIR
 WORK ON TARIFF

Washington, D. C., Sept. 24-Twenty sharply contested issues in the tariff bill remained to be settled when the House and Senate conferees reassem- b1ed this morning for what many be- 1ieved would be the concluding day of their work.
 The policy of the administration to- ward foreign countries involving the proposed retaIiatory provisions of the measure is causing much discussion.
 The conferees were prepared for a final decision on the perplexing cot ton tax question involving the Clarke amendment providing tax on all trades in cotton futures where actual delivery was not made As compro- mise, southern senators and represent atives supported by the agricultural department and Postmaster General BurIeson have proposed a compromise reducing the tax to five cents per bale when the contracts specified govern ment grades and those grades were delivered or the difference in value paid in cash.

Rv Our Staff Corres.O

Washington, Sept. 24-Opinions are rife as to what effect the appointment of Dean Rogers to the Second Circuit Court bench will have upon the Fed eral District Judgeship vacancy. Some believe it will have a tendency to help MT. Noone's candidacy while others seem to think it will hurt it. At any rate it is believed and hoped that some ecommendation will soon be forth coming from the White House. This vacancy has existed since the Taft ad- rninistration and it seems that the At torney General has had plenty of time to make up his mind as to whom he shall recommend. It is reported that President Wilson favors Noone's ap- point1nent, believes he is qualified to fill the position in every respect and hopes that the Attorney General will soon come around to his way of think ing.
 Some members of the Connecticut delegation are of the opinion that no one from the western part of the state will be considered for the place, and, if this is so, it makes MT. Noone's chances all the better. While MT Noone may not be in Dean Rogers class as a, lawyer, no one will question his ability or his character.

 In Essex, the 1nith-Nugent assem- iblp slate was nominated over the Wilson men and James R. Nugent was ireturned to the Democratic state com l1nittee by a majority estimated at i4 GOO over the Wilson organization choice.

ASSESSORS REQUIRE PERSONAL APPEARANCE
 FOR FILING TAX LISTS

Up to noon today 6,575 of the Il, 0s7 tax payers in Bridgeport had filed their lists with the tax assessors. To- day PAY lists were received. Each year from 800 to 1000 tax payers fail to file lists and them is imposed the ten per cent. ptnalty for resident tax pay CTS who fail to swear to their lists be- fore October 1. In this city this ten per cent. penalty on those who fail to file their lists more than offsets the ex- enptione granted by law to soldiers and sailors of the Civil and Spanish American wars.
 Last year the total amount of tax able property against which the ten per cent. penalty was filed was $267,- 431. The total exemptions for war vet erans was $243,790. The penalties lev jed exceeded the taxes which were ex- empt by $3,S75.54. This year the asses sors require that each property owner must appear in person to file his list unless prevented by illness.
 The assessors will be in their office each evening except Saturday this week from z to g o'clock to receive the lists of those who are unable to file lists in the day time. Their office will also be open during the same hours Monday night.

After he had been arrested for a serious assault upon 14-year-old Mary Monula of Greenwich, J ohm Bruzik of Greenwich agreed to marry the girl and the ceremony was perform ed in the county court house this af- ternoon. Rev. Daniel Bella of East Port Chester was the clergyman.
 It was alleged that Bruzik, who is 22 years old, boarded at the girls house. Her mother became aware that her daughter was in a delicate condition and Bruzik was accused. He fled to Torrington but was arrested there last week and a, serious charge placed against his name. He was bound over to the superior court un- der bonds of $5,OOO but Judge Reed thought it would be better for both parties to have marriage in view of the fact that the accused was willing.
 This morning they obtained from the town clerks office a license The girl came to the City Hall accom- panied by the prospective bridegroom and two of her male relatives. Under the law non-residents are usually re- quired to give five days notice before a marriage license can be granted.
 The girls relatives however pre- sented not only the consent of her parents but a certificate from Rev Daniel BaIla, pastor Slovak ETsngelf- cal Luth heran church of East Port Chester stating that in his opinion it was for the public good that the mar riage ceremony be performed at once

CONGRESSMEN EAGERLY AWAIT
 WORD FROM THE WHITE HOUSE
 ON FEDERAL COURT JUDCESHlP
Donovan Looks Upon Dean Ro gers Appointment Circuit
 As Distinct Los Activ Having Regarded Rogers As Likely

| Court bench and has no objection to his appointment to the Federal bench, especially so now that Dean Rogers has been honored with an appointment to the Circuit Court bench. Interest is about at fever heat now and the mem bers of the Connecticut delegation are anxiously awaiting the final verdict in regard to the District Judgeship.
 While Congressmen Reilly and Don ovan are eIated at the fitting recogni- tion Dean Rogers received as a man and a lawyer, none regret his with drawal from the field of active poli- tics more than they do. Congress men Reilly and Donovan are pleased that the assignment. to the Circuit Court bench was given to Connec- ticut man, the former especially, to have a man from New Haven, in his own district. It is recalled that Mr. Reilly took great pleasure in recom- mending Dean Rogers to then Presi- dent-Elect Wilson for a place in the cabinet. At that time MT. Wilson as- sured MT. Reilly of his high regard for MT. Rogers and it seems that he was waiting for an opportunity to honor Dean Rogers.
 Congressman Donovan is of the opin- ion that MT. Rogers appointment takes away the Democratic party's strong est candidate to succeed Governor Baldwin.

Watergury, Sept. 2+Something of a eensation was created in the superior court, here, today, on the resumption Of the trial of Dr. William A. Good rich, for malpractice, when Juryman lEviIIiam Davis, of Southbury, jumped up from his seat in the jury0ox and accused Dr. Frederick Graves, a prom anent physician of this city, of prompt 9ng a witness for the defense.

The court cautioned him against communicating with witnesses and the taking Of tes- tirnony was resumed. The witness was Dr. P. L. Smith, who was under gross examination by the state at fhe time.

DR. PRATT GOULD NOT HAVE CONTRACTED FATAL
 DISEASE IN HIS OFFICE
Charities Commissioners In- vestigating Death Now Be- lieve He Was Stricken From City Work.

That-D Dr. c. R. Pratt, day surgeon at the Emergency Hospital who died iaf- ter a severe attack of malignant mio- carditfs. several weeks ago, probably contracted the fatal germs while treat ing patients in the dispensary will be the implied verdict of the report to be made at the coming meeting of the Board Of Charities.
 While Commissioner Mathew Judge, who with Henry Harris was appoint ed to investigate into the death, re- fused to state today the finding of the committee, Father Judge consented to say that a most exhaustive search had been made of the nature of the disease, it's inception, progress and possibilities of being contracted.
 Both the records at Charities head quarters and in the home of pr. Pratt were examined with the most minute care It was found that miocarditis might be contracted from a number of commonly supposed harmless dis eases, that during the year he had treated at the Emergency Hospital over thirty cases any one of which might have produced the germ which lodging in the throat gave rise to the malignant cause of death. It is said that in his home practice no cases could be found which might tend to produce miocarditis.
 It is therefore to be construed from the result of the inquiry that Dr. Pratt did contract and die from the disease as the result of his work at the local department. While no proof positive can be adduced as to the source and lodging of a germ, the negative or circumstantial proof is present and the recommendation of the committee of investigation is awaited with much interest.
