$53,2OO OFF TAX LIST
Judge Holcomb Clips That From As
 sessment of Convent in Milford.

, AS result of the decision hannded down in the New Haven Superior court yesterday afternoon by Judge Holcomb, the sum of $53 200 is stricken off the grand list of the town of Hdil- ford When the assessors of that town made up their list they placed a valuation Of $59, 400 against the prop erty of the St. Bridget Convent asso- citation. The convent people objected to the assessment, and, failing to get relief from the town, they carried the fight to the Superior court.
 The convent officials claimed that the property which they held was used for educational purposes. and that it was connected with the LauS re1ton Hall school which the associa- ton conducted in Milford. On this ground exemption was claimed under the law which provides that schools and property used for that purpose shall be exempt from taxation.
 The town presented it's claim against the property and the case was heard some time ago. Judge Hol- comb yesterday ruled that all the property which was used for school purposes was exempt under the law, and in his decision found that of the total property 3,200 was used for that purpose and so was exempt.
 The remainder of the property val ued at $6,2O0, remains on the grand list. It consists of several cottages, which, the court decided. were not used for educational purposes.

DlSCLOSES GRAFT
 OF 30 YEARS
ROSIE HERTz's COMPLETE CON- FESSION INVOLVES HIGH PO- LICE OFFICIALS AND POLL TTCIANS-SYSTEM IS DIs-
 APPOINTED.

New York. March 11-A book of graft history covering a period of 3ol years has been opened for District At torney Whitman by Rosie Hertz, one of the most wealthy and notorious keepers of disorderly resorts in this city. This woman, sentenced last week to one years Imprisonment for running ia house for immoral pur- poses, has made complete confes-I sion. She disappointed the system z which had hoped she would serve her time without telling what she knew, and has paved the way, it is said, for the prosecution of not only several high police officials but for number of politicians alleged to be allied with the "system.' Many subpoenas were issued as soon as the woman com pleted her disclosures and MT. Whit man will be busy during the next few days examining witnesses who are expected to corroborate her story.
 Mrs. Hertz and other witnesses will testify before the grand jury. Accord ing to the district attorney their stor- ies will be supplemented by evidence in the form of checks and account books which the. woman preserved. Mrs. Hertz's business as the proprie-s tor Of a string of resorts, was con ducted systematically, making it pos eible now for documentary proof of the graft she has paid for protection to be produced. it is dec1ared. In an- other week indictments against those who have benefited by the woman's payments will be handed down. Mir. Whitman hopes.
 Among many names mentioned by the Hertz woman was that of Jack, Sullivan, "King of the Newsboyee who awaits trial under the same in- dictment- for murder brought against former Police Lieut. Charles Becker and the four gunmen in the Rosentha1 case. TO Sullivan the woman alleged she paid $10.00O in graft in a period covering several years. She produced a letter which she said was written by Sullivan from the Ton1bs recently warning her not to "squeaI.'
 James WIT enn, once a policeman, also is said toehave confessed to graft ing. He was taken at once before the grand jury where he repeated ! the story he told District Attorney Whitman. Wrenn is now a proprietor of a hotel For nine years before his retirement from the police force he collected graft money, Mr. whitman
 says Wrenn told him, and for more than half this time he exaeted $2, 500
 as monthly tribute in one inspection district. He mentioned three fprmet police inspectors who now-Sare cap

"MOTHER JONES" DEFIANT
Miners Leader, on Trial For Murder
 Conspiracy, Doesn't Fear Death.

Charleston. w Va, March 11- Mother Jones, who for many years has been leading the industrial battles of the west Virginia miners is on trial for her life before 8 military court, charged with conspiracy to murder. If she is convicted she will be sub ject to the death penalty by shooting. Mother Jones says she would not mind. She is making no defense.
 IT am 80 years old and haven't long to live, anyhow she said. Since I have to die, would rather die for the cause to which have given so much Of my life. My death would call the attention of the whole United States to conditions in West Virginia. It would be worth while for that req son. I fear. though, that I shall not be executed.''
 She made fiery speeches which, it is charged, kindled the courage of strik- ing miners so that they fought with mine guards, a number of whom were killed. She has rejected offers of am nesty made conditional on her Ieav- ing West Virginia.
 Mother Jones is a prisoner in the martial law camp, twenty miles from this city, being kept in a private res 1dence under the constant guard of a trooper.

IMPORTS OF SUGAR
REACH HIGH MARK
Total of Product Brought in Is
6,5OO,O00,0OO Pounds for
Fiscal Year of 1913.

More sugar was brought into the
1913 than in any other year in the his
tory of the country. The latest figures
from the Bureau of Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce show that imports
from foreign countries and our insulaT
possessions totaled $500, 100000 pounds,
exceeding by JOO.OOO.OOO pounds the fig
ures of the former high record year,
1912.
OF the sugar brought in during 1913,
4,3n,7A.O43 pounds came from Cuba.
ZOO, 100000 from Hawaii. 10000. 600 from
Porto Rico, nearly go, 10000 from the
Philippines, and the rest from South
America.
In value, however. the years receipts
of sugar fell nearly $50, ,OO0. 900 below
those of last year, despite the fact that
the quantity received was nearly 500,-
100000 pounds greater. The average
value of the sugar imported from for
eign countries in the fiscal year 1912 was
but 22 cents a pound. compared with
PSI cents a pound in 1912.
Import figures indicate that sugar con-
sumption in the United States will be
greater this year than ever before,
passing the 5000, 900, COO pound mark.
Sugar from Cuba made a new high
record in 1913. running 4,3ll, IA. .043
pounds. against 3,5O9 657 595 in 1910. the
previous high record year. That from
the Dutch East Indies, principally Java,
makes its lowest record in many years,
12.759 756 pounds.
The United States is clearly at the
head OF the list of sugar consuming
countries.

Death and Destruction in Wake
of Terrific Heat Wave at
Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 11.-As a eli
max to a terrific heat wave, which cost
two lives. a fierce storm, accompanied
by a sixty-nile-an-hour wind and con-
tinual lightning, tore all sections of
Philadelphia yesterday, and 1t was not
until today that the city realiged the
extent of the havoc played by the mon
ster which came out OF a clear sky.
Two persons were killed by lightning,
and scores were injured, several OF
whom may die, by the collapse of a
pavilion in FairmOnt Park. Two were
killed in NorristoWn.
The most miraculous escape of the
storm, which is considered the worst
of the season, was the collapse of the
pavilion in which more than 100 persons
had sought shelter. The roof was torn
from its concrete and iron base and
hurled through the air, carrying those
who were sheltered beneath II. Five
were caught under the wreckage.
All over the city houses were unrOofed,
trees uprooted, large windows smashed
and traffic paralyzed. Property damage
will amount to more than $3.50
