BURDENS OF TAXATION
Owners Say Resolutions Should
Be Enacted Into Laws.

The Bulletin" publication Of the
House and Real Estate owners Associa-
ton OF the 18th and 18th wards, in its
March issue calls attention to the recent
state conference on taxation and the res
olutlons adopted. which It says should be
enacted into laws. Its article on this
conference follows:
AT the recent state conference on tax
alton a number of resolutions were adopt
ed. the purport OF which was to put an
end I'm some degree at least, 10 the alb
surd condition OF affairs under which real
estate alone bears practically the entire
burden of taxation. These resolutions.
adopted after considerable discussion and
deliberation by representatives from the
entire State Of New York. men who have
given the subject deep thought, are proof
that there has come a widespreadlnS re-
alizatlon OF the fact that all those who
receive the benefit OF government should
i'm some way contribute To the cost of the
running thereof. that personal property
or the income thereof should be taxed It's
proportionate share and that the exemp-
ton from taxation now generously permit
ted should he carefully watched over and
restricted.
The resolutions, as such. will not help
the situation: they will not tighten the
burdens OF taxpayers or rentpayers; nor
will they put an end 10 the existing In
equitable state OF affairs. They should
be enacted into laws, They should be
taken up energetically and agsressively
by real estate interests and framed into
bills 10 be introduced at this session OF
the Legislature The gross injustice which
has been inflicted upon real estate owners
and their tenants cannot be too quickly
righted. Among the important resolu-
tons are the following:
Whereas. There is widespread feeling
that some more efficient attempt should
be made to secure revenue from personal
property. tangible and intangible, and
that serious consideration should be given
To the exemptions now upon the statute
books with respect to both real and per
sonal property;

New York's supremacy In these indus
tries is the result Of natural advantages.
The New York clothing manufacturer
profits from his location in three ways.
He gets his materials easily and at low
transportation costs for New York has
direct water connection with the impor-
tant centres OF the textile industry More
important than this is the fact that the
city has the largest supply OF cheap labor
in the United States. such labor is a
necessity I'm the clothing Industry. and the
incoming immigrant has placed I'm the
hands Of the New York manufacturer a
supply OF labor which is cheap and can
be made efficient. Finally. New York is
the natural style centre OF the country
and as such has an immense advantage
as a manufacturing location. The ability
TO foresee and TO meet changes in the
demand for styles is necessary i'm order TO
secure profits in this industry. The New
York manufacturer not only has the adj
vantage OF selling his product as New
York styles but he Is In "A position TO
meet changes I'm styles and 20 develop
new styles In many respects this is a

G. A. PHELAN RESENTS
 SUNDAY POST ATTACK
Editor Farmer. Sir:

Editor Farmer, Sir:
 Regarding a story published in the Sunday Post, yesterday, I am more than surprised to learn that the man agement of such a paper would auth oTize the publication of an attack upon me based upon the mere statements of parties unknown to them, or at best, local parties of little standing and no responsibility.
 That such a. story should be publish ed without any attempt having been made by the writer thereof to obtain any statement from me, although said writer, if he has been a writer for any length Of time, was, or should have been aware of the fact that he could easily have reached me in per son or by telephone right up to the time his paper went to press.
 That the only fact in the entire story story was the statement that had levied an attachment upon the moving Cities Film Co. and exhibited last week at the Bridgeport Exposition, that I have never claimed at any time the T & c Fi1 m Co. owed me a pentny for services or anything else.
 That the above company or anyone representing them have never paid me for advertising their films or for se- curing advertising for them.
 That I protected the Commercial Travellers Association absolutely by granting them the use of the pictures Saturday afternoon nearly three hours before the Film Company were able to arrange for a bond, as the signed statement from Manager Robinson of the Exposition, which I have will prove.
 That neither of the men who i'm posed upon the credu1ity of the Post reporter knew exactly upon what grounds I have brought my suit, and that the false and malicious state ments made by them are but another example of the incompetence and den sity of the employees and management who had charge of the making of the Bridgeport pictures, and which ac- counts in a measure for the miserable failure which they have made of their | venture both from a commercial, fin 1 anciaI and mechanical standpoint.
 Yours very truly,
 c. A. PHELAN

 to blow. You cannot grow maize and
 wheat out of rocks. For over three
 centuries the Turk occupied the best
 part of those dominions which be- longed to our ancestors. Ever since we have been trying to get them back. I and my people mean to keep the land we have retaken during the war. We mean to take Scutari, which is the key to that land, and we mean to keep it. Old as I am and used to fighting, I have never seen such de- termination among my people as dur ing the present war. I want nothing except justice. How can consider Europe when my nations fate is at stake? Am I to sacrifice the lives of all my brave Montenegrins on the altar of European intrigue? The war has cost us $1O,O0O,0OO and 10000 men fallen for Montenegro, yet Aus tria tells us to stop when the reward of our sacrifice is at hand. It is an

 ed outright the stock, fixtures. leases
 and all assets of the Bridgeport
 Piano Co.,, from the receiver E. T.
 Buckingham and have transferred
 thelr holdings to their stores at 172 Fairfield avenue, and the branch store on East Main street, and will fnausu- rate a sale which starts tomorrow to dispose Of this stock It is scated that the Bridgeport Piano Co.,, had about 5000 worth of pianos and player pianos alone, of good dependable makes and it is the purpose of the Fox Piano Co.,, to sell these for cash, at the very lowest possible prices.
 This sale will furnish an opportunity for any one who has ben conternpIat- ing the purchase of a piano and who is in a position to pay cash, to save a great deal of money. The Fox Piano Co, were obliged on the ruling of the court to make cash payment for the pianos, that the receiver could have the money to settle with creditors. The price paid, it is understood is about 50 per cent. of the factory price. The Fox Piano Co.,, will sell these instT-u- ments at prices never before adwer- tised for new dependable pianos, and it is in the interest of every one to look into the matter as it is doubtful an opportunity of this nature comes again in a. good while. The personal of the Fox Piano Co., is back of these instruments and they assume all responsibility for the reli- ability of same.
 Sale starts tomorrow at 172 Fair field avenue and 265 East Main street, Come early.

London, April 7.-King Nicholas of Montenegro is .defying the powers. Facing a blockade by warships from all the principal European countries except Russia, the aged but doughty ruler of the little kingdom is bidding defiance to all. He says he vii keep up the seize of Scutari and take it or die, and his subjects are with him as one man. The powers will not land a force upon Montenegrin soil, but will tie up it's ports and attempt to bring King Nicholas to terms. This action was taken by ambassadors of the various powers at London in 8 determination to end the Balkan war fare. f'The world condemns me for causing trouble,'' said King Nicholas, "but the world forgets that my sub jects must regain that fertile land be- longing to the Zeta valley if we are to go on living.

The largest of the trio is boy, measuring 21 inches and weighing 711 pounds. The surviving girl is 1T inches in length and weighs pounds. The third girl was not alive when born.
 While it is extremely unusual for triplets to occur, being less than once in every 5000 births, this case has other extraordinary medical features, according to Dr. Giovanni Formi- che1la. the physician in attendance and will be interestingly observed by physicians here.

FOUR HURT; HALF MILLION LOSS IN
 ST0CKYARD FIRE

Chicago, April Four fremen were injured, two of them probably fatally, in fighting a fire which, to- day, destroyed Beef House No. 2, of Armour & Company, in the Union Stockyards. The loss on the build ing and it's contents is estimated at $500,00O.
 The fire, because of the low water pressure, gained rapid headway and after being apparently under control for a short time, again broke out in several places following a number of explosions believed to have been caused by- the blowing out of am monia tanks. The beef house is op- posite the Morris & Company plant where on December 22, 1910, Fire Chief Horan and 22 firemen lost their lives in fighting the blaze which de- stroyed that plant.
 The most seriously injured, today. were Captain George T. Foley, whose right leg and both arms were broken, and Pipeman John Patterson, who was hurt internally.
