That Tax Commission

The leg isla tive session of 1911 Great
ed the State Tax Commission. consist
Ing of three members each at a salary
of So, 900. empowering the then Cover
nor John Burke to appoint the members
thereof subject to the ratification of
the 1913 senate. That was done. The
act which created the commission was
silent as to salary appropriations for the
members but made provision for a
So, 900 appropriation. which, in fact.
was only 8 to speak, for i%ncidentals in
carrying out the provisions of said act.
Now comes the legislative session Of
1913. aware Of the fact that no appro-
priations had been made for the COM
mission. and introduces an appropria-
ton bill Gust a mere bagatelle any,
how to defray expenses and pay for
salaries of the worthy tax commission
officials. The bill passed both cham
bers and vas duly submitted to Govern
or Hanna for his approval and sigma
ture. To the governor it did not look
like the right sort of economy-he COM
United the bill to oblivion in the Gu
bernatorial waste-basket by vetoing it
and there you are. The governor ex-
planned in his veto that if the COM
mission had been composed of n in
stead of three members that it would
have looked more reasonable to the tax
payers of the state.
AS it was and as it is the tax COM
mission, evidently, can force it to be
for the next two years, in spite of the
appropriation veto. the three members
must be paid 50. 600 per annum, while
salary of 81, 400 per year. Besides
this. they are allowed mileage. Incl.

PRONOUNCEMENT OF DEATH PENALTY ON
 WOMAN POSTPONED

New Haven, Nov. 2.-It was expected that Mrs. Bessie Wakefield, convicted of murder in the first degree, would be pr esented before Judge Burpee in the superior court this morning for sen tence which, under the law, shall be hanging on the gaIIows at Wethers- field, but the hearing for James Flew, who actually killed William Wake field, the husband, that the court might determine the degree of guilt, was not completed last week, and this was talk en up again.
 Accordingly, the bringing of Mrs. Wakefield from the county jail was delayed until later in the day. If the Plew cause is not completed by late this afternoon, Judge Burpee will prob ably sit this evening.
 The court has also to sentence Jo- seph Bergeron, who killed Mrs. Dow sett, the hearing having been on de- gree of murder following a plea of gull ty of homicide.

Turkey as .the Sick Man.

Now a collector of old prints comes forward with the proof that the ex- pression, ''the sick man of Europe" so perststently applied for years to Fur
 key, really dates back to the seven teenth century, when John Sobieski drove back the Turks from the gates of Vienna He shows an old engrav- ing with the Turk on his sickbed in the center and the doctors represent ing all the nations of Europe gathered about him As has been the case ever since, they cannot agree as to the treatment All want to make an end of the Turk, but the Spaniard wishes to apply a bomb, the Pole wishes to give him steel. the Prussian would stdde him with his cloak, etc. Change the names and costumes of the doc tors and this cartoon of nearly three centuries ago would answer for any of the numerous congresses that have since then attempted to settle the vex- ing eastern question--ArgonauL

THIEVES
 ACCUSE POLICE OF
 BRUTAL METHODS
Trio of Prisoners Tell Sensa- Iionai Stories in Hartford
 Police Court.

Hartford, Nov. 4-Three young men charged with robbery told some what sensational stories in police court, today, regarding alleged third degree'' confessions said to have been secured from them and involving the chief of police and members of detec- tive bureau.
 The accused are Jacob Maschatski, IS, George Blesso, 19, and Jacob Beck- erman, 19. They were arrested Oct- IS. on a charge of attempted highway robbery, their alleged prospective vic tim being Emil Leschke, a cigar man ufacturer who was expected to go to his factory at a certain hour on that day with a payroll of $1,5OO. Shortly after their arrest the police claimed to have secured confession or the plot from the three men. Today was the first in which a, hearing was given them in court, various adjournnenrs having been taken. Two of the three accused, today, testified that they were victims of bodily abuse on inc part of the detectives in order to wiring confession from them.
 NTaschatsl1i said Detective Melbersg- CT struck him in the face and a po- iceman in uniform threatened to kick him. He later said he thought it was Chief of Police Farrell. Maschatski also declared he heard Beckerrnan scream for help while in the detec- tives' room. He said his confession was induced by fear.
 Blesso said he was promised i'm munity if he would confess. He testi- fed that he heard Beckerman's cries.
 Beckerman asserted in his testi- mony that Melberger called him a bad name, accused him of lying, struck him across the face and threat ened to kill him if he did not confess. He said Detective Williams also grab bed him by the coatconar.' Becker man said fear of the consequences and bodily harm led to his alleged confession.
 Detective Me1berger was not in court and Judge Clark thought his testimony concerning the alleged vio- 1ence should be had. The cases wer adjourned to Nov. 16s

HOUSEHOLD NOTES


 Chicken salad served in green pep per shells not only is attractive, but the season from the pepper is very pleasing.
 The arrangement of a mirror so that a child can see itself at play will of- tentimes prove as amusing to a child as playmate.
 When boiling cabbage, place in the saucepan small piece of bread tied up in muslin. This will prevent any unpleasant odor.
 A delicious pineapple dish is made from the fresh fruit, served with may onnaise mixed generously with whip ped cream.
 A few peas added to the dish of creamed chicken, lobster or shrimps are pleasing to the eye as they are satisfying to the palate.
 Wet shoes should be stuffed with paper before putting away. It will ab- sorb the moisture and keep the shoes from becoming hard.
 A. good way to clean tennis balls Is to scrub them with soap and water. Do not rinse the soap out, but put the balls right in the sun to dry.
 When sweeping a room which has heavy, o1d-fashioned dresser in it, re- move the lower drawer and sweep under with a whisk broom. lN A little kerosene added to the water used for washing windows greatly less ems the 1aDOr and improves the ap- pearance of the window In using the rind of a lemon for havoring, remember that it is only the outer or, yellow part of the rind that holds the essential oil When making custard, try adding 1 a little salt. This keeps the custard from drying and caking in the custard pot and adds to the flavor. If a pancake gridd1e must be kept hot for late corners, slip it into the oven, close the door, and when the gridd1e is needed again it is hot. The simplest thing for removing iodine from hands or white goods is household ammonia, which converts the iodine into iodide of ammonia. If you have trouble with milk curd- ling when you put it on to boil, try adding a liberal pinch of bicarbonate | Of soda to each quart of milk.
 X drop of oil of cloves on the | tongue takes away the sense Of taste for a moment, and disagreeab . rnedi- cine can be given without any trou- | ble.
 Put a receipt for making plasters on your medicine chest door. It will be convenient in case some one ur1- accustomed to making them has to do so.
 When white enamel vessel has be- come discolored, simply fill the vessel | with water and add a teaspoonful of | | utes.
 A tablespoonful of Epson salts add l ed to one-half gallon of cold water, thoroughly dissolved and poured over plan roots will hasten their growth l wonderfully.
 If part of a bottle of olives have been used, to keep the remainder add | a pinch of salt to the brine, pour a teaspoonfu1 of olive oil in the liquid and replace the crock. | Beans are the most nutritious of all vegetables.
 It is best to wash spinach under running water. 1 Every cellar should be aired and stunned very often. Whiting and ammonia are best for cleaning nickel. | Potato water is good to remove mud 1 stains from cloth. l Chopped chives lend 8 good flavor i to salads ;also a bit of color. l A few chopped dates added to apple sauce, makes a very tasty dish.

SUICIDAL MANIAC IS
 DESTINED TO ASYLUM.

Commitment papers paving the way for J. Zsiro of Pine street to be- come an inmate of the state insane asylum at MiddIetown have been started by the Department of Chari- ties and will be rushed through. In- vestigation shows that John has been in this country seven years, five in Pennsylvania and two in Bridgeport. His departure from sane procedure has been a, fondness for razors as a means of separating himself and oth- CTS from an earthly career. But a short time ago he tried suicide in a Hancock avenue house and was talk en to Lakeview. The Sjnves igation of the authorities indicates that too prolonged use of liquor is respon- sibIe for his condition.
