CHARTER PROTECTS
 POLICE OFFICERS
Can Not Be Ousted From Force Unless Charges
 Are Sustained

That the police commissioners can not compel veteran policemen to re- tire upon pension is as certain as any thing can be.
 The only manner sn which Supt. Birmingham, Captain Arnold, Captain Anderson and Lieut.. Quinltvan can be removed is upon charges, which would have to be tried and proven They would have recourse to the courts if an injustice were done to them.
 If any of the police commissioners should conspire to make untrue or unjust charges against the officers, the commissioners would be guilty of maIfeasance in office and might be in1peached by the common council, or removed by a court.
 This in substance is the legal view taken by the polio situation by some of Bridgeport's able lawyers.
 Former City Attorney Thomas M. CuIIinan said: t%The commissioners cannot retire a man invo1untarily. If the comm issi oners desired to prefer charges they would have to serve the men with notice and the charges would have to be proved. A police officer holds during good behavior. or until removed for cause, and offices cannot be abolished except in case of a vacancy"
 City Attorney Pullman said: T cannot think of any provision of the charter under which these men can be retired without their consent

Canadian Pacific went down to 205 IA, and New Haven made a gain of point on the first few transactions, but quickly lost 1t.
 Noon-Development of weak spots gave the market a downward course today. Traders who took the short side found it easy to dislodge stocks. Renewed European selling of Cana dian Pacific was one of the principal factors in depressing prices and the losses in this stock were extended to more than points.
 Weakness Of New Haven tended to unsettle the market for time. Mark ing up of copper metal prices here and the advance in quotations abroad stimulated the copper stocks tempor- arily but these shares later became effected by the heaviness of the re- mainder of the list.

WHO FIGHT INCOME TAX
 WILL. BE PUNISHED

Washington, ec. 29-Should women follow the advice of the Rev. pr. Anna Howard Shaw, president of the Ma tional Woman Suffrage Association, and refuse to make the required re- turns to the provisions of the In come Tax law they will be liable to a fine of from $20 to $1,oOO, according to an official connected with the that the government will strictly en- force the law. Any woman who at tempts to practise passive resiStance'' to the new regulations will feel the heavy hand of the law, he said.
 Officials of the Treasury Depart ment made it very plain that every body subject to the income tax, man or woman, would have to obey the law and that the government would take the proper steps to enforce this pro visions in every case where an at tempt is made to eVade.
 One official suggested that perhaps Dr. Shaw did not realize the serious ness of her advice to the women of the country. He said it is just as much a violation of the law to refuse to make returns to the collector as to refuse to pay the tax after the as sessment has been made. He said that pr. Shaw was melting persons to violate the law.
 In pr. Shaw's letter, which is ad- dressed to "unfranchised American wornen,'' she makes this statement:- f'The enactment of an income tax law has caused assessors to be more insistent in their demand that an ac- curate statement of all personal a S well real properties shall be listed and returned within a specified time in order that no property may escape the government tax collectors. Here woman may make their passive pro- test and decline to aid the govern ment in Ievying taxes upon them by refusing to render an account of their property"
 Woman suffrage leaders in Wash ington read her letter with the great est interest. There was a disinclina- tion to discuss the income tax and its
